“The entire empire…?”
Having come from a time past, she knew well the significance of the railway rights.
Only then could she guess the reason why Carson, whom she had met in a time long past, had become the lord of unified Lusonia.
Of course, it was just speculation, but if he had the rights to lay a railway connecting Landhill and Lusonia, it was plausible. Having lost a sibling, he had not only lamented his situation but had carved out a life for himself.
Lusonia, which bordered the sea, held great geographical importance. If so, both sea and land would inevitably fall into his hands.
“I hope you get it.”
“What? The railway rights?”
At Ines’s words, he chuckled.
“Why?”
‘Why?’ She thought the question was very strange. Did he not know she wanted to put the world at his feet?
“Because you are the lord, of course.”
“Very well. If you wish it, gladly.”
Ines turned her head back down the mountain. She closed her eyes and tried hard to recall where she had worked at the time.
Had she known then that the task was for him, the blistering heat of midday wouldn’t have felt so hot.
“There’s not entirely a lack of problems.”
At the mention of problems, Ines’s head snapped up.
“Problems?”
“You know Drophinnua? He’s in a much better position than me.”
“But isn’t Count Graham facing trial now? Can you entrust railway construction to such a person?”
“Graham is but one of the Queen’s shadows. Drophinnua is a shadow of a shadow.”
“So, you’re saying the Queen might promote someone else?”
“Exactly.”
Carson raised an eyebrow when Ines, who had been listlessly following his fingers as if looking at the clouds in the sky, suddenly took an interest in the railroad line.
He was pleased that she seemed interested and excited. There was no story he couldn’t tell her if she was this curious.
“Drofinnua is a capable man, and he already has good conditions in place for management. The royal family will most likely support the most reasonable plan.”
“Such as?”
“First of all, distance is most crucial. Shorter distances mean reduced time, and that is directly related to the royal income.”
“Is there another reason?”
“Count Grahm has invested a lot of effort in this for a long time, and because he was the Lord of Rusonia, he has already secured all the land for the railway in his territory.”
“Didn’t the Lord get permission from all the landowners?”
At the question ‘Didn’t he?’, Carson paused for a moment. Her words were true, but for some reason, he did not want to say to her that ‘he didn’t.’
“That’s correct.”
Ines let out a big sigh. Seeing that, Carson quickly continued.
“However, it’s not like we don’t have advantages.”
“Such as?”
“First, I have much more money.”
There was also the matter of finding the Empress’s weakness.
“Our family also has a gold mine.”
At the sudden comment, Carson couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“You said earlier that it wasn’t urgent, so you had forgotten.”
“Back then… I didn’t think we’d need money.”
Ines turned her head, pouting her lips and looking straight ahead. Carson squinted one eye again. He couldn’t even tell himself what he was thinking while looking at her.
He swallowed dryly and continued talking.
“Another advantage has just come to me.”
“…?”
“Didn’t we just gain a robust investor?”
“Ah…”
“If a huge amount of money is invested, we’ll face managerial difficulties. Besides, there’s no gold mine anymore… If we run out of funds midway, I will take over the management.”
“What if we don’t face managerial difficulties?”
“We’ll have to make sure we do.”
Ines blinked her eyes for a moment. Sometimes, his words required some time to think over.
“But that’s not a sure thing, right?”
“That’s true. That’s why I’m a bit annoyed right now.”
He had been preparing meticulously. It was clear that the Empress had expedited matters when Grahm was about to face trial. That’s why he had to leave his domain in this uncertain state and leave this woman behind.
