After looking at Edwin for a while, Olivia leaned towards him and whispered.

“If you’re going to get the ring, wouldn’t you need time to follow me? I’m going to receive only a very precious ring, and you said you’d bring it within three days from last night, so there are only two days left, right?”

At that, Edwin made a face as if stabbed. Olivia, who had confidently smiled in front of the carriage a moment ago, now elegantly waved her hand while laughing.

“I’ll be back.”

While progressing with the Yennev Street project, the one thing Olivia desired was for the green-eyed people to live proudly in Yennev, transforming it into a street that serves as a lasting haven.
“…As always, it feels challenging to me, but you always give me difficult tasks.”

And the middle-aged man who grumbled as he spoke was someone who could handle it well enough.

“I think you can handle it well enough, Mr. Schren Kaelin.”

At Olivia’s sincere words, Schren chuckled. And as if erasing the exaggeration, he shook his head.

“Do we really need to split the payment into two this time? Even ten percent…”

“I can pay the entire amount at once. Why bother?”

Olivia said nonchalantly, looking straight at Yennev Street. To remember the moment for the changing scenery that she wouldn’t be able to see again.

“I’ve heard the situation from Lord Szelin so far, may I take a look around the street for a while?”

“Sure, Count Interfield. Would that be okay, Miss?”

At Schren’s request, Howard nodded. And to guide Olivia through Yennev Street, he went ahead.

“Hey, it’s really unusual to see a gathering of people with green eyes.”

Schren Kaelin. As a peculiar fact, he was the architect who was in charge of the canal construction in the Tristain Song District, the princess’s territory. In this redevelopment, he is planning the layout of roads and houses.

“As the lady said, it would be good to leave the land like this. The road is long and wide.”

Watching Schren seriously looking at Yennev Street, Howard corrected his words with a calm voice.

“Miss.”

“Oh, right.”

Turning around as if to say so, Schren, who was scratching his head, turned around again. And muttering as if whispering, he said.

“Well, if there was a distribution that would warrant dividing the payment like that, it’s only natural that things are going well for you.”

Howard felt puzzled by those words.

“Originally, isn’t payment divided into three?”

Normally, it was the most popular method to pay in three installments: advance payment, intermediate payment, and the final payment. However, Schren, as if he didn’t know, widened his eyes and began his story.

“Of course, it’s common to divide the payment, but for the lady, or rather, for you, Miss, she decided to split the payment in a slightly different way.”

Before Schren’s eyes, the scene from a few years ago unfolded vividly. It was a vivid autumn when the yellow fields made the heart generous.

It was also the day when the construction of the canal in the Tristain Song District, the princess’s rich territory, began.

At the mention of a project directed by a lady like a saint, the architects and workers who participated were disappointed to see a lady with green eyes in a silver dress.

However, when people gradually opened their hearts to the lady who gave clear orders, it was when they began to understand her.

“Before paying the fee, I would like to propose two payment methods to you all. The first is to pay the advance payment, intermediate payment, and the final payment after the construction is completed as usual.”
“There are two payment methods, so those who were listening attentively chuckled at the no different first option. At the same time, the lady spoke calmly.

“The second is to pay the advance payment first, and after the construction is completed, pay the intermediate and final payments at once. Of course, we’ll also add fifteen percent of the total amount, including the intermediate and final payments, as compensation for the delay.”

“Fifteen percent?”

At Howard’s surprised voice, Schren, who had come out of reverie, chuckled. It seemed surprising even to the nobleman himself. Well, they also had their eyes wide open.

“There must have been a budget.”

“So many people chose Option 1. Of course, I chose Option 2 and received an additional fifteen percent. But it seems many people just chose the first option. Of course, I chose Option 2 and received an additional fifteen percent. But it seems many people just chose the first option.”

“How…?”

Schren spoke to the curious knight as if teasing.

“According to the rumors among us, at the time of the wheat harvest, the lady bought all the unsold stale wheat that should have been paid to the workers as an intermediate payment at a cheap price.”

Stale wheat. As soon as he heard the words, Howard reflexively thought of the lady who solved the food shortage in the Retail Territory during the Spring Harvest Festival.

“And the next Spring Harvest Festival, she sold it to another territory and used the profit to cover our payment.”
