The Female Lead Raised The Villain Chapter 128

Misunderstanding and Mixed Feelings (2)

Arthur opened it and found that the number of waterways to be built in the future was written along with the cost of constructing waterways that had not been properly received so far.

“The settlement that has been missing so far will be processed in batches. We're in a hurry, so the Tayron family will take care of it tomorrow.”

Arthur took a blank sheet out of his arms and wrote down the numbers. He immediately handed the check to the marquis with the amount he had to receive. The Marquis accepted the check with a puzzled look.

Now, she brought up the story in earnest at Arthur's expression that there was nothing wrong with it.

It was concluded that the lack of water was to first build and supply waterways to reservoirs.

However, when she heard that there was not enough reservoir to store water when it rained, she thought of Magic stones.

“Then, let's bring water from the sea.”

“But it's so hard to purify the water.”

“The Imperial family will provide mana stones, so don't worry.”

Having made a deal with Emilton County, that part was enough. Since they reduced the mana stone in the production of weapons, it was enough to send the mana stone to the Pravio family.

Mana stone also has the ability to purify, so it will continue to purify water without taking too much time.

“Are you really providing magic stones?”

“Of course, if this deal is made. Along with the construction of the waterway, we will provide you with mana stones, so you have to give all these credits to me, the Princess.”

“If you provide it, I'll give all this credit to the Princess.”

A bright smile quickly spread over the Marquis' face. She kept talking to the marquis, suggesting a better way from the existing method.

“What should we do for you?”

The marquis carefully asked me for a price at her willing suggestion. If he made a contract with the Imperial family and continued to take charge of the waterway and construction, Marquis Fravio would most likely rise to the ranks of aristocrats.

There was a vast difference between being monopolized alone and being pushed by the Imperial family.

'You'll gain trust and fame.'

The Marquis swallowed his saliva, waiting for her mouth to open. His neck went up. After his neck went up and down twice, she pulled out the contract and unfolded it in front of her.

“It's a signature to support me in the future, I won't forgive betrayal no matter what. I'm not such a generous person.”

“That's not going to happen.”

The Marquis blinked quickly at what she said. He looked into the contract, swallowing his saliva as if his mouth was dry. Seeing him read it slowly, he almost seemed to have fallen for it.

The Pravio family was probably rich along with troubles, as they got the sea that didn't dry out and the mana stone that would continue to purify them.

“There is also a provision to help the people in need of some of the money earned from waterways and construction. Of course, all of this will be done under my name.”

And she was going to use it to win the support of the people. Special measures were needed to raise the reputation that had already fallen to the ground.

“If it's part of the amount…….”

“10%. What the country has decided is 5%. However, if you do business with the backing of the Imperial family, the reputation and wealth of the Pravio family will be doubled.”

Arthur quietly listened to her story and looked at the Marquis. His eyes showed no signs of falling off the contract.

Her mind had already crossed over, but she felt him hesitating at 10 percent, perhaps because he was greedy.

“Ah, it's already time. Arthur, where should we stop next?”

“It's just around the corner. There is a family that is quite confident in the waterway.”

“Really? Of course, let's go there. The Marquis doesn't seem to have much in mind.”

She got up from her seat, stealing the contract the Marquis was looking at. Speaking of going to another family, the marquis hurriedly grabbed the contract and said.

“Ha, I'll do it! I'll sign this contract.”

“You have to think carefully. If you stamp it, you can't go back.”

The Marquis hurriedly signed the contract and stamped it. She opened the contract and confirmed the most important question for him.

“I recognize and support Mary Anastasia as an Emperor. You saw this question, right?”

“…Of course. The Pravio family will support Princess Mary Anastasia and help her ascend to the seat of the Emperor.”

“Good, I like it.”

As a result, the second family also received a support signature. Arthur nodded and raised his mouth smoothly. He looked quite satisfied.

She rode a wagon that went back with Arthur. The carriage headed to the Grand Castle, not Nox's mansion. Arthur spoke first before she could even open her mouth.

“Did you really think I didn't recognize you?”

“Otherwise, you wouldn't have abandoned me.”

She wondered what his excuse was to leave him alone in the store where there was nothing. Arthur, sitting opposite her sour voice, moved next to her.

He stared out of the window without giving him a look. Arthur did not draw attention to her who did not look at her.

She wasn't looking his way, but she could feel his gaze. With the eyes staring at her continuously, she eventually turned to Arthur.

“Why? What do you see when you look at me like that?”

“I haven't seen you for a few days, so I'm trying to see you enough. I missed you.”

“…… Why are you here?”

Arthur's words naturally distorted her face. However, contrary to her will, the corner of her mouth was filled with a smile.

She tried to lower the corners of her mouth, but it was useless.
