Moreover, it was not a joint search area of the Ingott Empire and the Ronica Kingdom, so in principle, all rights went to the discoverer, she said.

So, the gold mine was Khaled’s, but since he couldn’t monopolize it while knowing that the two countries were investigating together, he was thinking of handing over a certain portion of the shares to the Ingott Empire and the Ronica Kingdom.

The man who had been quietly listening crossed his arms and was lost in thought.

“Honestly, all the content that the princess has just mentioned is very highranking information.”

Prince Khaled has discovered a gold mine.

Moreover, it was in the south, not the east where Prince Raul and the Ronica Kingdom are meticulously searching.

This was quite valuable information.

The empire was still undecided on the crown prince, so even if the first prince’s power was dominant at the moment, it was true that both princes had a chance. Therefore, the nobles were also walking a tightrope over them under the water.

And the story that Velia had conveyed meant that the second prince had an enormous source of funds, which could be quite important information for the nobles of the empire.

“But do you really want to spread this story just as a rumor?”

“Yes, please let the content I mentioned earlier spread among the citizens of the empire at the time I want.”

“Hmm. That’s not very difficult.”

Velia continued her words.

“It would be great if we could add that he saved Prince Raul and repelled the monsters. You know that he and I are about to get engaged, right? Please mix that story as well and create a wonderful hero’s tale.”

At Velia’s words, he smiled.

It was not a difficult request. Rather, he gained more. It was information that was too generous for the reward.

However, he had to consider the fact that he could not make a request without informing me of this content before calculating the reward. Plus, the value of the information would be damaged if it spread as a rumor.

‘Maybe the purpose of all this is to hit the first prince on the back of the head.’

But if the princess moves directly, there is a very high probability that it will leak to the first prince who is staying at Ronica Castle before spreading the rumor.

Considering the fact that he found the information guild as a way to completely block even such a possible case…

‘Clever princess.’

And if it was a method to measure his ability in the process of pricing, it was really a cunning method that he wanted to applaud.

He nodded his head.

The offset value was excluded, and now the rest of the calculation had to be done.

“How do you plan to calculate the request fee?”

“I’ll pay with the information I have.”

The man burst into a hearty laugh.

It was a question asked assuming that she would pay with money. But she said she would pay with information.

“As you may already know, the level of information in our guild is quite excellent. It would be easier for you to pay with money.”

“You’re dismissing the information I have without even hearing it.”
When Velia spoke coolly, he responded with a smile.

“You seem to be ignoring us, princess. Runes isn’t known as the best information guild on the continent for nothing.”

Though it was not the time for a meaningless pride fight, for some reason, she didn’t want to lose.

Velia, curling up the corners of her mouth, spoke softly.

“What information do you need right now?”

What would be the best thing to say to pique his interest?

After repeated contemplation, Velia met his gaze with a smile.

She had several moves up her sleeve, but this time she decided to go headon.

“Right. You’re looking for the illegitimate child of Count Serron, aren’t you? I know where he is.”

At Velia’s words, his expression turned cold in an instant.

“First question. How did you find out we’re looking for that child right now?”

“Well, do I have a reason to tell you that? All I need to do is provide accurate information.”

What matters to the information guild is not how the information was obtained, but how accurate it is. So Velia had no reason to answer this question.

“Oh, of course! I didn’t steal it from a guild member or anything like that. You know, no one but you knows that we’re looking for the illegitimate child of the Serron family, right?”

Watching Velia speak brightly, the man felt a headache.

There was one more person who knew this fact. It was the client who asked to find the illegitimate child. But he would not have told anyone. It was such a secret and confidential request.

The man, who knew this fact better than anyone else, looked at Velia with a cold gaze.

“Derrick. Join hands with me.”

At her words, his face stiffened.

“…Where did you hear that name?”

Derrick frowned and rubbed his temple hard.

How did Princess Velia know this name, unknown even within the guild?

In response to Derrick’s question, Velia simply continued with what she was about to say with a serene expression.

“As you can see, I have a lot of information you didn’t expect. You won’t regret it.”

Things more useful than the information the information guild currently has.

Facts only Velia from the future would know.

“…So, second question. Tell me where that child is.”

His tone became sharper.

“We have already identified the whereabouts of the child. If what you say, princess, is a lie……. We will never take your request again.”

Derrick, who would not normally ask in such a way, had no choice but to do so now. Because.

“He’s right here, isn’t he? Derrick Serron.”

It was a story that should never be revealed.
