"Huu..." Noel took a deep breath as he sat down in his chair. It had been a while since he managed the territory, so he knew there would be a lot of things to handle. "Anyway, give me the work, Rose."
Rose nodded. "Actually, there isn't a lot of work left. The only thing that will need your attention is probably the train that is increasingly popular and the road project to other kingdoms."
"Hmmm?" Noel widened his eyes in shock. "Nothing left?"
"Yes. Anna has handled everything." Rose confirmed it. "However, the train has become a bit too popular. If we want to continue our production of trains, we will need a lot more materials and craftsmen."
"I see." Noel looked down, falling into deep thought.
"There are several trading companies approaching us, wishing to cooperate with us for the transportation."
"The scale of their companies will become much bigger, so of course... Do you have a list of their names, and have you done a background check?"
"Yes." Rose nodded and showed the documents. "Shouldn't we accept everyone? This is just a business agreement that allows them to use the trains to transport the items."
"Not yet. While it's true that allowing them all to utilize the trains will increase the scale a lot, it will cause a massive influx of items."
"Ah. The price will decrease by a lot."
"Yes. The merchant aside, how about those who are producing those items? With a lower price, their income decreases, and most likely, they will try to change the items they wish to change."
"But if we don't accept any of them, there will be a riot."
"Yes. For the time being, I'm thinking of accepting several of them. And it'll be much better if we can utilize other lords in the north." Noel nodded.
"Alright. I'll tell Roel about it. How about the date?"
"Set it up one month from now."
"Understood."
Rose immediately worked on the problem while Noel took care of the rest of the problems. He was a bit surprised that Anna had taken care of most of their external problems, but this also meant she'd got the Wheel of Destiny.
...
Stargaze Family.
His fiancee, formerly his subordinate, Alicia, walked to Dylan's office. "Dylan. A letter from your sister has just arrived."
"Hmm? That's weird. Hasn't she sent a letter a week ago?"
"Yes. It's probably regarding business or something." Alicia nodded.
"Let me see." Dylan nodded. He had been learning a lot of things as the new lord of the Stargaze family, considering Kevin fully focused on his job as an Arbiter to suppress the royal family as much as possible.
When Dylan read the letter, his expression turned serious.
"A conference to regulate a merchant, huh?" Alicia frowned. "This kind of action..."
"Yes. It's her husband." Dylan nodded. "If things are going well, that means the people in the north will be much more solid. If that's the case, we should provide the venue as well as the security."
"Indeed. I'll take care of the security." Alicia smiled. "This is what I've been doing, so it shouldn't be too hard."
"Mhmm. I'll handle the rest then. I hope that my brother-in-law succeeds this time. If we get an influx of goods, it should fix a lot of problems in our territory."
