Capitulo 89

Episode 89

Upon learning of the Cassel family’s tyranny, Aster sent a reply.

It seemed that he didn’t know anything.

Word was that they not only monopolized all the logistics of small business, but also bought a lot of farmland in someone else’s name.

«There seems to be a lot more cracks here and there than I thought.»

And at the end of the letter, something completely unexpected happened.

[ It seems that the Cassels and Sir Raymond are not getting along. Traces of collisions were found everywhere]].

The black and white photo accompanying the letter showed signs of burns on several buildings belonging to the Cassel family.

Buildings smashed, people injured.

«It’s terrible.»

I felt a deep anger.

In the original, the Raymond I remembered didn’t have such a bad relationship with the Cassels.

Miss, they say the ship is ready.

I raised my head at Lily’s voice.

I’ll be leaving soon.

Today we decided to take a boat and go into the Savons Islands.

On the Savons Islands, stolen from the Wilhelms, they were collecting salt for use in cosmetics.

Not wanting to end there, I was thinking of setting up a resort on one of these islands.

From large spas and pools to luxurious rooms.

I wanted to create the perfect dream place where I could rest, play and eat after everything was done.

When I went down to the second floor, three gentlemen escorts and a car were waiting for me.

Perhaps because it was a hot day, Fio lay limp as Lily hugged him.

It must have been the heat due to the weather.

Fio.

I was worried when I saw him whimpering helplessly.

But when I think about the relationship with Andrew because of Fio, I also thought it was causality.

Give me some cold water and some ice.

Yes, I will.

Lily grabbed the cold water and got into the carriage with Fio.

All the way to the port, Lily seemed to have all her nerves on Fio.

We have arrived, miss.

At the driver’s words, I got out of the carriage.

Larensi did not compare to the more developed eastern commercial part, it was still a fairly large port city.

It was a busy time for loading and unloading goods from ships coming and going.

But there weren’t many people working.

«It seems like a lot of people are fighting with Giovanni.»

However, it won’t be easy to see that there are people already working.

This is the boat, my lady.

At the escort driver’s words, we boarded the ship.

It was about an hour from the port, we arrived at Fahiti, the largest island of the Savon Islands.

The white sandy beach, the clear sea where you can see coral reefs, and even the palm trees that can be seen in the distance.

It really looks like a painting.

Lily murmured excitedly.

We toured the entire island.

We marveled at the beautiful natural scenery that we could only see in a dream.

I can’t imagine what kind of resort to build here.

The freestanding buildings , a hotel and a spa.

To do that, it would take a lot of money.

A perfumery at this time would not be enough. Of course, it’s not impossible if I borrow power from my family.

Still, I wanted to do this on my own.

It may be difficult at the moment. We have to expand slowly.

I looked around the island and we returned to the boat.

We sat under the palm trees and had lunch.

The menu consisted of toast and iced tea with ham, cheese and tomatoes on buttered toast.

Even the gentlemen were eating and resting, but I could see people watching me in the distance.

They looked like they had something they wanted to tell me.

Lily, would you go and ask who these people are and why they are hanging around?

Yes, miss.

Lily jumped out of her seat and went back to talk to them.

They are people from the island of Fahiti . They say the young lady is the owner of the island, so they said there is something they want to show you?

To me?

Yes . It looks like she wants to ask for something …. If she’s busy, I think it would be better not to go .

Lily had a look on her face that he didn’t like at all.

She added that she thought it would upset him if she took care of this for nothing.

However, seeing as they had come all this way, there must be something important.

I approached them with the gentlemen.

As I approached the residents, their faces visibly lit up.

A strong middle-aged man among them stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and greeted me.

It is an honor to meet you, Princess Pioneer. My name is Marco, the village chief.

Rise.

Being polite is too formal to be called a commoner.

He looked like he was either a gentleman or a dropout from the academy.

Is there something you want to tell me?

Yes, princess. There’s something I really want to show the princess, so I came to you without any excuse.

What do you want to show?

Marco nodded.

Not long ago, during an earthquake, a cave was discovered. And strange things keep happening in that cave.

Strange things? Can you be more precise?

After a moment’s hesitation, Marco opened his mouth.

To put it bluntly…. A ghost appears.

Lily, who seemed to have nothing in the world to fear at the word ghost, fainted.

She was immediately taken to the village headman’s house.

Miss, I… I have to come with you….

I shook my head when I saw Lily’s face turn bloodless white on her lips.

You stay here. The rest of you follow me.

I left the room holding Fio, who was moaning by the bed.

Marco, who had been waiting in front of me, jumped out of his seat.

Then let’s go take a look

Thank you. Princess.

With Marco in the lead, he directed me to the place in question.

We were told the general situation along the way.

Not exactly a ghost. It seemed to show people or scenes in memory.

For Marco, there was no such thing as a completely unknown person.

Like someone I desperately wanted to see, or who was reliving intense memories from the past.

It’s all speculation, but in my experience it is.

Why would you think that?

The things I saw were not dead.

After saying that, Marco closed his mouth.

If it wasn’t a ghost, there was something to look forward to.

[What do we do when we see something like a ghost?]

Fio muttered quietly into my arms.

I leaned back a little and whispered.

You didn’t think real ghosts would come out, did you?

Fio wiggled his ears and said nothing.

I laughed.

It looks like there are seasonal stones.

[ Seasonal stone?]

There wasn’t just one kind of seasonal stone.

Spring of birth, summer of flowering, autumn of harvest, and winter of death.

There were four types.

Each of these seasonal stones had its own characteristics, and there was a high probability that such a creepy type of stone was a winter seasonal stone.

[I heard that and it seems plausible.]

Seasonal stones were harder to obtain than magic stones, and each was traded at a very high price.

If the seasonal stone mine was here, it really was like sitting on a money cushion.

I walked down the road with light steps.

Passing through the forest, I saw a large cave on one side of the beach.

Here it is.

Inside the cave felt unseasonably cold for this tropics.

I looked at Fio.

I thought Fio’s gaze would be more confident than mine, a novice mage.

He simply bowed his head.

[I don’t think this is enough, I think we should go further in.]

I looked at Marco and asked.

Have you ever gone deeper?

Yes, it’s not very deep, but you can go in another 15 minutes or so.

Let’s go in a line that doesn’t overdo it.

Marco had a reluctant look on his face, but he had no choice but to ask.

If he sees any abnormal symptoms, he should leave immediately.

He caught up with us firmly and went deeper into the depths.

It is cold.

It may be cold because it’s a cave, but it’s unusually cold here.

When I exhaled, a white breath came out of the air.

After a while, Fio barked into the air.

[The seasons are right. I’ve always been in a place where the power of autumn is, so I didn’t know, but this is the power of winter .]

Fio sniffed up to his nose and his eyes sparkled.

Until before , it was hard to believe that he had a pitiful expression on his face because he didn’t want to come .

[The amount of reserves is considerable . What hasn’t been discovered yet is that this area is in the tropics, so maybe that’s why].

My heart pounded at Fio’s words.

I was just thinking about salt or mining, but I didn’t think this kind of bonanza was hidden.

I felt I had to tell my mother about this right away and make plans for the future.

That’s it, let’s go back.

I looked back and said.

However, the faces of the gentlemen protecting me were strange.

His face turned white as he looked into the air, as if he had seen a ghost.
