Viese, who was dressing up to go to the Palace and coming out to ride a carriage, asked the servant dissatisfied.
âHe, Herringa, and Dillardâs carriage.â
âI know that! I mean, what are they doing at the mansion? We donât even have a weekly meeting today.â1
The servant, who was the target of Vieseâs anger, cried and answered in a small voice.
âTh, theyâre going to meet Lady Florentia.
âWhat?â
The servantâs shoulders shriveled at Vieseâs harsh question.
âBeing busy was all a lie! You came all the way to the mansion to meet a great person, after all!â(Sarcasm)
Viese huffed angrily.
The servant, who was waiting next to him to lower the carriage door and footrest, was anxious that the household of the vassal family would run into Viese while coming down to ride the carriage.
Fortunately, that did not happen.
Likewise, it was because Seral, who had finished dressing up, appeared.
ââŠSlow people, arenât they, honey?â
At a glance, Seral soothed Viese with a soft voice.
âI canât believe, youâre running straight away when a child calls you. They must have pride.â(Sarcasm)
âHuh. Everyone must have been curious about what was going on.â
Viese climbed into the carriage and said grumpily.
Saying something completely different from when he was angry.
However, Seral, who is used to that look, said peacefully as she got into the carriage and closed the door.
âGood day, weâre on our way to the Palace for good things. Donât worry about that, honey.â
âHmmâŠâ
Viese nodded, coughing vainly at his wifeâs words.
âYeah, I was a little sensitive. Whatâs wrong with that business thatâs going to fail and humiliate itself anyway.â
âYes, the Empress has already given her permission, so go and give her favorite gift and have a good time, letâs go.â
Seral said, pointing to the carefully wrapped tea set placed on one side of the carriage seat.
âWhen people find out what youâve won for the Lombardy Construction, maybe in a few days everyone will be talking about you.â
âYeah, that kidâs business will be a laughing stock and forgotten.â
With Vieseâs fishy words, the carriage departed to the Imperial Palace.

When the carriage running along such a well-polished road crossed the threshold of the Imperial Palace, Seral suddenly asked.
âBut you donât have to talk to the Lombardy Construction in advance?â
Viese answered Seralâs question with a smirk.
âI donât have to tell them in advance to use the authority of the direct lineage. How can it be âauthorityâ if I ask for the understanding and push things forward?â
âOc course?⊠â
Seral nodded in agreement with Viese.
âOh, thereâs the Empress!â
As the carriage began to slow down, Seral looked out of the window and shouted with delight.
The corners of her lips rose slightly after seeing Empress Rabini waiting for her in front of the entrance to the Palace.
The appearance of the Empress coming to meet him in person made Viese shrug.
âHere you are, Lord Lombardy. Welcome Seral.â
The Empress greeted the two with a very happy face.
In addition to the Empress who greeted them warmly, the Empressâs maids came out and climbed the stairs lined up side by side.
The Empress was very pleased with the tea set brought by Seral.

She thanked her and even made tea by herself using a new tea.
âDid Lombardy Construction want to take charge of Angenasâs development project?â
âYes, it is.â
She couldnât stop laughing at Vieseâs quick answers.(Laugh at vieseâs stupidity.)
âCertainly, if it an experienced Lombardy Construction Company, youâll be able to move forward quickly.â
âYouâre right. In addition, buildings like a large number of luxury houses for vacation spots consume a lot of time and materials unless they are skilled workers. If you leave it to Lombardy Construction, you wonât have to worry about it.â
But the Empressâs reaction was a little strange.
Apparently, his wife said, âthe Empress has already given her permissionâ.
Empress Rabini, who seemed to be agonizing, made Vieseâs back sweated a lot.
âWell, tell me what youâre worried about and I can explain.â
âAhh, cause you were Lord Lombardy, Seralâs husband, Iâd trust you to do the job. But thereâs one condition.â
âWhatâŠ?â
âI understand that when you start working, you will split the payment several times from the beginning, right?â
âYes, usually after completing construction before starting, in the middle. Itâs divided three times.â
âThen, can you adjust the payment to the latter half of the construction and after completion?â
âYesâŠâ
Viese rolled his head fiercely.
Due to the nature of the construction project, many people were paid in installments of four or five times, not three times.
It is not about building a few buildings, but about developing an estate called Angenas itself.
It was an unreasonable request to pay such a huge amount of money later in the construction and after completion.
Viese had to say no.3
But the moment he saw the Empressâs eyes as if to test himself, such courage disappeared.2
And a few days ago, Shananet said, laughing at himself.
âDonât think about stopping her, focus on making your own progress. Itâs the only way youâre gonna win.â
How dare to thinkGallahanâsdaughter is comparable to me.
Heâll show them the difference with this Angenas business ticket.
Thatâs how Viese decided.
If this happens, no one will be able to ignore him again.
