In the spring, my age was now the same as the Britney that appeared in the manga, currently I was heading to the capital city as per Angela's invitation.
Likewise, Nora who was also invited would also stay in the palace as the princess' companion.
Just like the manga, the trio of bad guys was born.
(First, let's organize the current situation.)
Nora and I decided to live in a mansion prepared in the immediate vicinity of the castle and would commute to the palace from there.
Before everything else started, there would be big events like social debut.
(Besides, I have to work for Hakusu earldom both in the capital city and the territory…)
From now on, my livelihood entailed me to go back and forth.
(Since I can contribute to the territory, I'm happy and fine with it.)
Right now, the noted products of the territory were wine, which was a special product of the territory, and cosmetics products using adlay grown in the territory.
TN: Wine vineyard
TN: Adlai (Coix lacrymjobi L.) is an indigenous crop introduced in Africa as staple food. Also known as Adlay or Job's tears, it also grows in tropical parts of Southern and Eastern Asia. Adlai is mainly eaten as a staple food substitute for rice and corn.
TN: Adlay extract can be applied as inhibitor of melanogenesis and can also act as a natural antioxidant in skin care products
I also started a business of making and selling accessories featuring newly mined gems from Nora's territory.
Since the minimum reconstruction had been completed, I would be returning the borrowed platoon to Prince Marlow.
There were also the reinforcements, the prince was now a benefactor of Hakusu territory.
Construction of waterway in the territory was going well, the construction itself would start in this spring.
First of all, we would build a main location and gradually spread it from there. Of course, tap water would be separated from sewage.
Besides, the former Earl Astor said that he wanted to spread the hot spring culture. Since it's difficult to finance in our territory, we decided to start the prospect in Astor territory.
After the battle, Astor territory was exhausted, but their original reserves were different. It seemed that they had enough budget to build hot springs.
The former Earl Astor continued working corporately with Lily's parents.
The former earl and Lily's father were brothers, but unlike the earl's sons, these two brothers had good relationship.
By the way, the beautiful Lily also refrained from her social debut, and would depart to the capital city with us.
(Since she's so cute, she shouldn't have any difficulties finding a marriage partner… but it might be a difficult time for people involved with Astor earldom now.)
Ricardo had already returned to the capital city and graduated from school, but he was subjected to criticisms from his surroundings.
Some sensible aristocrats were nice to him but others would indiscriminately insult him.
Although he was the one who stopped his brother's actions, he was pitifully in a painful situation.
I had corresponded with Ricardo, so I was able to quickly know the present condition of the capital city.
Ricardo and Lucas seemed to get along well as usual.
However, it seemed that they did not meet each other as much as before to avoid the speculative thought of "the northern country and Astor earldom are communicating with each other".
(When I arrive there, I want lend my power to Ricardo even a little.)
Ricardo also informed me about the state of the northern country from Lucas.
The fifth prince who became the hostage said "That older sister, there's no way she can imitate such a large thing. Perhaps one of my siblings is pulling the strings from behind the scene.", it was such disturbing words.
By the way, his parents had already casted off the princess who was the main offender. As I said before, the princess was now missing… she was no longer a problem.
Regarding Angela's engagement, it was currently on hold. As her sister was going to attend the next party, it seemed that state of affairs was currently being observed.
Of course, there was more news. It seemed that the prince of the southern country was coming to this country.
The king of the southern country who saw the relation of the northern country and our country seemed to think "my son too can be matched with the princess…", so it's currently being considered.
For the time being, with studying abroad as the reason, the prince was treated as a guest of the royal family. The southern country had princes and no princess.
(Nonetheless, the hostage Lucas is also treated as "a foreign student". So it might be similar to him?)
By being engaged to a nearby country, their bloodlines would be connected and they would become relatives, as such they could cooperate with each other.
There were also invasions of the northern country, when the king sensed the impending crisis becoming worse, he accepted the southern country's proposal.
(The prince of the southern country is also a character of the manga…)
He's an ikemen hero character created to compete with northern prince Lucas for Merrill.
To be frank, he was such a person.
By the way, his personality was somewhat frivolous, but that's just his outward appearance. Inside, he's a person whose force of personality could compete with Lucas and Ryuze. Maa, the prince was such a person.
The prince of the south was not directly involved with Britney's execution.
However, in the manga, he was positively involved in gathering evidence of Angela's corps' mean harassment.
(It will be better to be alert, but the situation has changed and I won't be executed suddenly.)
I was not a white pig anymore.
My body weight had continued to decrease while I was focused on my work, and I was now in the same state as when I was skinnier after the boot camp.
Caution was necessary so as to not return to my former figure.
