A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 55

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Selesina was staying at the mansion in the Royal capital for the time being and actively participating in evening banquets in order to promote Selur Honey.

Thanks to that, Selur honey had already established a good reputation even before it’s launch.

However, in comparison, Selesina was completely drained out…………….

“Thank you for your hard work Lady Sele.”

“Hisui……..thank you.”

Hisui prepared some tea and madeleines for Selesina who was resting on the sofa. Warmth permeated through her tired body.

“Today was the final evening banquet that you were going to participate in right? We had planned to go to Selin village tomorrow but………………..would you like to rest here for a little bit?”

“…………No, let’s go to Selin village. I am curious to know how the guards are doing, whether they are used to the village yet and I have to talk to Miss Chloe about the hand cream.”

“Understood. I’ll make the preparations.”

“Thank you.”

Seeing Hisui off, Selesina realized that he had come to have a very good command over his work even without any formal graduation.

No one would ever be able to imagine that he was an orphan living in a small hut prior to this.

No one would believe it even if Selesina were to tell them.

“Yosh! Hisui is doing his best for me so I must do my best as well!”

However, what Selesina had to do right now was to rest properly and prepare for tomorrow’s schedule.

If she were to fall sick, it would only increase Hisui’s work.

“…………..I have to increase my physical stamina.”

Selesina went to the bathroom in order to prepare before bed.

“Lady Selesina, Mr. Hisui, I’ve been waiting for you~!”

Selesina had gone to the village the following day in her carriage, as usual, to find that Chloe was waiting for them at the entrance to the village and waving at them.

“Why are you at the entrance of the village……….?”

When Hisui, who was acting as the coachmen asked Chloe what she was doing there, she proudly replied as if it was only natural.

“There are enough people in the shop today so I’ve come to welcome Lady Selesina! I wanted to quickly have a discussion about Selur honey with her and I couldn’t wait! Right now we’re having a storm of inquiries from various places. If this is the case before launch then just imagine what would happen once we launch it…………”

“Please calm down Miss Chloe.”

She would talk endlessly if they just left her like this.

Hisui somehow managed to calm Chloe down and park the carriage. He opened the door to the carriage after and helped Selesina alight. With this, his work with the carriage was over for now.

“Good morning Miss Chloe. I’m looking forward to our discussion.”

“Lady Selesina, good morning!”

They exchanged greetings immediately headed to the branch of Picott company to have their discussion…………but before that, Selesina glanced over the village and found that the guard station at the entrance fo the village was complete.

It was the biggest building in the village with 2 floors. She looked carefully to find that there was a big entrance near the entrance to the village and 2 guards were standing there.

‘Amazing, they finished it quite well.’

Chloe began to explain once she noticed Selesina watching the guard station.

“It was completed 5 days ago. The 1st floor is the workplace and the 2nd floor is the rest space and nap room.”

“Is that so. I was surprised that they constructed it so fast.”

Had it been a simple house it would have been fine but the station had to be constructed with some amount of care, after all, it was 2 storeys. It must have been quite a task.

“The men did their best. Right now they’re constructing the homes for the guards. After that is done, they will make the barn.”

“It’s going pretty well.”

“Yes. Ah, they’re also making a well right now. As expected, a well isn’t that easy to construct so it hasn’t been completed yet.”

Chloe pointed to one side of the village square.

The men were in the midst of constructing it, they were digging a deep hole at the moment.

‘Uwahh, that looks difficult……..’

But it was a great help that they would finally have a well in the village, she really wanted them to give it their best.

“It’s changed a lot even though I’ve only been away for a short while.”

“Selin village is still a small village so it will change more and more hereafter.

 The next thing we need is an inn here.”

Selesina nodded at Chloe’s words and suddenly realized.

“The men constructing the well, where are they staying?”

She was anxious that they may be living in tents just like the guards. As a contractor, she couldn’t let that happen.

“They’ve divided themselves between Mr. Anton’s house and the nap room in the guard station. There aren’t too many of them so it has worked out.”

“Is that so? Thank God.”

Selesina was relieved to know that they weren’t camping out and at the same time she was grateful to Anton for various things. She was reassured to know that he looked over the village so well.

‘There are so many things to do, it’s too much!’

She looked to the village square to find that some of the tents that the guards had put up had reduced. Looks like some of them had got their houses made.

She then looked behind, towards the potato fields. The young man from the village, Reo, was giving some instructions and was in the middle of harvesting the fields with the children.

They regularly used potatoes to make potato chips and sell it at a stall in Harmil but it was considered a great success even now.

‘Today’s a good harvest too!’

The bud on the great tree hasn’t bloomed yet but it seems to have grown a little bit so there’s no problem there.

“Shall we go to the store? Sorry, I took my time looking at various things.”

“No, it’s reassuring to see Lady Selesina looking around the village. See, everyone looks so happy.”

Chloe said.

The children were waving excitedly from the potato field towards Selesina.

“Lady Selesina~!”

Gisele was also amongst them and she looked super energetic. Since she was blessed by the spirit of the earth, she was full of enthusiasm.

Selesina waved back at them and cheered them on.

“Please do your best~!”
