I Am No King's

Chapter 101 – Mother and Child pt 2

Okay, back to the main problem.

　

"So, mother, actually, my plan to resurrect Agade was just to find another incompetent and help with my work in Royal Intelligence."

　

"To find another incompetent, I understand. To help with your assignment in royal intelligence, would you please detail it?"

　

"Simply put," I explained. "I want to make royal intelligence a perceived party on the black market. Thus, the regulation regarding the maximum illegal transaction quota every month can be re-imposed."

　

"And what will you use to convince the six pillars to accept the rule?"

　

"just simple. First, I will increase the combat power of the Royal Intelligence. Second, I'm going to make intelligence the regulator and mediator of all black market activity."

　

"Okay, it still looks easy. If the first goal is achieved, the second goal can be achieved. Moreover, if one of the six pillars, which is Agade has agreed, there is only the matter of lobbying and negotiating with the other six pillars. And, if that's the point, I can get Akadia to work together as well."

　

Right now, only me and my mom are talking. Father, Emir, and Inanna fell silent. They dare not interrupt. Rather than mother and son, at present, our talks are more like negotiations between the Agade leader and the Akadian leader. And, in it, the position of the Royal Intelligence was just like a part or division of the Agade.

　

"If Akadia, whose transactions were mostly official transactions, would obviously have no problem. The troublesome ones are organizations like Apollo and Orion. Most of their transactions are unofficial, illegal transactions. Therefore, I'm sure they'll resist to the point of blood loss."

　

"If that happens, mom and you just pretty much destroy them, right? With the resources of Akadia, Agade, and Royal Intelligence, I don't think it's that hard."

　

Yeah, it's true. Before I continued my conversation with my mother further, I explained about Akadia to the Emir and Inanna.

　

Although Akadia is a black market-moving organization, they do not make many illegal transactions. What Akadia did was merely an arrangement of development work or other work funded by the Kingdom. Sometimes there are other jobs such as smuggling or selling goods without excise, but the amount is not how much.

　

For example, if there is an inter-city road construction project, Akadia will play behind the scenes to determine who the participants and winners of the tender. All of the company leaders involved are in direct charge of the Akadia organization.

　

At first glance, Akadia is more like a circle or association of influential people in companies and governments. What ensures Akadia's position as a black market organization is that they have security personnel. These security personnel are not people who can be ignored. I can say they are as strong as Agade, or stronger.

　

Although there is no written evidence, but all company leaders know and believe that the mother is one of the founders and supervisors of the shadow. Thus, the mother will have a say in every decision making.

　

If any company were dissatisfied with the division of the project for no apparent or compelling reason, and they threatened to defect, it would be destroyed by Akadia, both legally and illegally.

　

At that moment I was silent for a moment.

　

Mom smiled "Hehe, you just realized it huh, Gin?"

　

"Yes, I just realized it. No. I thought it would be like this. The apple did fall not far from the tree."

　

"Ah, I'm proud!"

　

Suddenly my mother hugged me.

　

Yes, mother, I understand that you're proud. Can you please let go of her embrace? I'm ashamed to see the Emir. This time, without me needing to say it, mom had already let go of the hug.

　

"What do you mean?" Dad asked.

　

"Let me, ma'am,"

　

I explained my thoughts to Father, Emir, and Inanna. To put it simply, what I want from Royal Intelligence is the same as Akadia. If Akadia oversees, regulates, and divides auctioneers and royal projects, I want Royal Intelligence to oversee, regulate, and divide illegal transactions that take place on the black market.

　

"Then, indirectly, we can suppress the crime rate, right?" The Emir responded with vigor.

　

[Emir's right. Indirectly, this can reduce the crime rate. But, that's if everything goes well.]

　

"Eh?" The Emir slightly flinched when he heard Inanna's response.

　

"As Inanna said, it's not easy at all" Dad added. "Before Royal Intelligence can reach that point, how many people will be the victims?"

　

Dad's words are right. Basically, later when I declare Royal Intelligence as the watchdog and regulator of transactions, the black market will separate into two camps. The first fortress was a no-holds-barred one, like Akadia and Agade, and the second camp was a defiant one, like Apollo and Orion.

　

Between the two camps, a gangster war would be inevitable. And, of course, collateral damage or additional damage will occur. The additional damage I'm referring to is of course normal people not involved in the black market.

　

Suppose the Agade attack on Apollo a few days ago took place in the city, not counting how many houses and people would be dragged. And, back then, we were just attacking people under Apollo so the fight looked one-sided. If Apollo was planning to bring down his best men, the damage done by the Apollo and Agade battles would be even worse.

　

"Huh, if only the mafia in this kingdom adhered to a policy that required all disputes to be overcome by mercenaries, then gangster war could be avoided."

　

　

"Yes, you're right Gin." Suddenly she said something off-topic. "Okay, back to the topic. So, in this way, Agade won't attack Akadia, right?"

　

"As long as Akadia doesn't withdraw his words, then yes, Agade won't attack Akadia."

　

After I said that, mom took a deep breath. It seemed that he was relieved that there was no need to clash with me. Not only mother, I was also relieved that there was no need to clash with her.

　

"Then, what do you say about exterminating all crimes including Akadia?"

　

"I'm just trying to meet Dad's complaint."

　

"No, your father didn't complain. Aye, right?" Mom glanced at dad.

　

"I, yes, I'm not complaining."

　

Dad really bowed to mom. I'm not saying the father-mother relationship is a normal and common one in this kingdom. One of the things that makes women have more power, in this kingdom, is that women have the right to refuse negotiations whereas men do not.

　

This rule only applies to married people. So, in the future when I am married, if any noble comes to my house, who has the right to refuse and negotiate is the Emir and Inanna, not me.

　

For families whose women hold power, such as mothers and fathers, this culture is very helpful. However, this culture does not help me in a future where the brain of the family is me, not Emir or Inanna.

　

It seems that I should schedule to educate Emir and Inanna in terms of negotiations and so on.

　

"OK, so, the black market problem is over. Lugalgin, what are you going to do about this Kingdom, Mariander, and also the Alhold family?"

　

I don't want to think about some of those things. Why do you have to take her anyway?

　

I just kept quiet while holding my head.

　

"Yes, my mother's son suddenly like this. You're not like the famous Sarru who always thinks about and plans everything."

　

"Unfortunately, Sarru is not yet 20 years old. Huh...." I could only sigh while explaining all the progress. "For this Kingdom, I will think about it once Intelligence has reached its destination. For Mariander, I can only find out the progress next month. For Alhold– Family"

　

[Eh? What do you mean by Mariander's progress?]

　

"Inanna, sorry, I plan to explain it to you next month, when I hear the progress report. In the meantime, please be patient."

　

[....]

　

Inanna did not respond. I understand his concern, but I don't want to give an explanation for this moment because the information I received is still not full.

　

"For the Alhold family...."

　

Seriate
