How To Choose A Knight (28 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 42
“Who gave the order to switch the contracted trading houses? Three out of five? Are they out of their mind?”
“…….”
“Right, I’m the fool for even asking. The goods were apparently in complete shambles….”
In less than four months, her uncle Felix Broen, who had taken over Jade’s position, seemed to have meddled in—or at least attempted to meddle in—many matters.
He likely aimed to expand his influence over the territory and win over members of the family, but fortunately, not everything proceeded according to his plans.
Partly because Jade, anticipating such a possibility, had put measures in place to block Felix at every critical decision point, and partly because Mabel probably reined him in just enough.
In any case, even if it was only a moderate mess, it was still a mess.
“It takes a moment to break something, so why does fixing it take so damn long? Have you managed to get through to the head of Valm’s trading house?”
His grumbling reply dripped with exhaustion. Bernard answered cautiously.
“Apparently, he was quite offended by Lord Felix’s rudeness and took it very personally. I’ll try contacting him again, now that I can tell him Lady Jade has returned.”
“Fine. What were they even thinking, canceling a contract with the trading house that supplies our highest-quality goods—and sells them off so efficiently, too….”
Remembering Valm’s trading house master, whose love of alcohol had left him with a permanently red nose, Jade let out a deep sigh. She could almost hear his booming laughter and his sudden outbursts.
She tilted her head back slightly and closed her eyes. Clack, clack.
The stones in her hand clicked against each other—lapis lazuli speckled with tiny blue dots.
“You really should rest a bit.”
