e.
“I haven’t, but I’d like to request it because I’m directly involved.”
“How and in what capacity?”
“As Count Cartal Robbesta’s daughter.” Serdel said without avoid the glare.
“I’m a member of the family.
I believe I have the right to speak.”
“Because?”
“After all, marriage is a family business.
Is there any reason to keep the already fractured business from marriage?”
“Then?”
He nodded, as if he wanted her to continue.
“I don’t believe Count Maient has a strong enough reason to accept that much.
There’s no reason why Count Robbesta should be taken away from a disrespectful man.”
Cartal remained silent.
She is the youngest daughter, and she has never argued like this before.
What a daring look she has.
“Many people are still fighting for the right to develop the Elbash Forest.
There are many families with the skills and abilities to assist us as much as Count Maient.”
Serdel’s tone had changed before he realized it.
If there had previously been a soft tone of persuasion, there was now a firm tone of determination.
“……”
He was deep in thought.
Elbash Forest is a large forest located west of Count Robbesta that was previously classified as a dangerous area due to monster territory.
Except for professional hunters registered on the estate, he also forbidden them from entering.
A few months ago.
An incident occurred when the monster cubs, who had not yet left the realm, entered the hunters’ territory.
Because they were afraid that the cubs that followed them would attack the village, the hunters who were trying to escape were forced to become baits.
They went into monster territory to send them back.
It was an inducement in and of itself.
They had no choice but to pass through the monster’s territory.
Then they discovered a Mana stone mine.
As soon as they made the Elbash forest known, it became a hot potato.
Cartal made the decision to drive the monsters away and seize control of the forest.
It was absurd to think that the Mana stone mine had not been developed because of the monster area, so he had no choice but to make a risky choice.
After all, even if they are found in the territory, Mana stone mines are not completely owned by the lord.
Some rights had to be given to the Emperor, the country’s owner.
Instead, as part of his owner’s responsibilities, the Emperor assisted in the development of the mine.
There was no reason to retreat.
In the end, he successfully drew Imperial support.
Furthermore, in order to fill in the gaps, they set out to find someone to work with on the development of Elbash Forest.
Many people approached, but it was Count Maient who was chosen in the end.
Serdel’s fiancée and his estate were close with Count Robbesta.
It was the most important factor in receiving assistance.
On the contrary, if it wasn’t for those two reasons, there was no reason to stick to Serdel’s words.
“Is there anyone in particular you have in mind? I’m not sure if you’re aware, but we’ve already had numerous discussions with Count Maient.”
“But this is just a discussion, and no exploration or development has yet begun.
How fortunate is this? It would have been more difficult if the engagement had ended in the middle of the day.”
“Hm.”
“Please give me some time.
I’ll recommend the right person, not the self-centered individual who easily betrays trust.”
It was the first time he’d seen Serdel look so confident.
Even though the breakup was significant, he couldn’t take his gaze away from the way she acted confidently rather than heartbroken.
“—When Count Maient arrives, I will accept the letter called off engagement and reclaim the right to develop Elbash Forest.”
“Thank you very much, Father.”
“—There is no need to bow down as a result of this type of incident.
Take a rest.” Cartal, who was the first to rise from his seat, left the dining room.
He was followed by the butler and the maid.
Redan spoke to Serdel, who was holding a glass of wine, with an inward sigh.
“What exactly are you doing?”
“What?”
“No, you said the engagement had ended.
How did you manage to be so carefree?”
“You’ve been saying the same thing for a long time.
What am I supposed to show you, brother?”
“—That’s.”
Redan’s mouth was closed as he prepared to say something.
Serdel stood up with a glass of wine in her hand, leaving him unsatisfied.
“I’m tired, so I’ll go and rest first.
Brother, take a rest.”
“H-huh?”
He tried to reach out to her, but Redan, who raised his hand, scratched his head.
