EMPRESS TO PRINCE

CHAPTRE 28

Day changes, day becomes night and night becomes day, once the cycles of nature continue to spin non-stop.

Day by day walking so quietly, Arana felt so comfortable living inside her small pavilion, which she owned, what else Bai min was still serving his sentence of staying inside the family ancestral hall within the next 3 months, it makes Arana's day go so smoothly without anyone bothering her.

But immediately Arana's heart was a little disturbed because soon his engagement with the prince of Jikxi will take place and will be in the kingdom, he said, and right on that day Bai Min had already finished receiving his sentence, it did not bode well for Arana.

Although Arana did not expect her engagement to this forced-impressed prince of Jikxi, but if that damaged her it would certainly be another story, of course, Arana would not let her life always be under pressure from Bai min already when her Arana started to stand upright and fight back.

Although behind Arana there was no high-powered person to support her, Arana was very confident just to face a Bai min alone, Arana's own genius was more than enough, but to face her family, of course, Arana needs a supporting figure with a high position.

Arana began to realize that Prince Jikxi is the right person to be made the strongest shield behind Arana in the face of the Huan family minister, but does prince Jikxi want to do just that? of course not! Arana is not a fool, if Arana wants something there will definitely be a price to be paid by her, everything in this world is nothing free.

"It's better that I go see the development of my business, which has begun to grow rapidly in the city" Arana muttered stopping her thoughts as she stepped away from the residence, if Prince Jikxi can not support Arana later, does not mean Arana has no other way, right? Arana thinks she can find another way someday.

On the other hand, during the punishment period Bai min continued to curse Arana very cruelly either in his heart or in his mouth, he hated his sister so much, so much, not only did Arana snatch Jikxi's prince, she even humiliated Bai min in front of the nobles while dancing the sword back then. (although it was Bai min's own deed but not Bai min his name if not blame others😪)

"i will definitely avenge all this!" bai Min growled with a very high anger.

Although Bai min served his sentence in brackets inside the ancestral hall for three months without anyone being able to visit him except for the mother who insisted on continuing to see Bai min whenever the opportunity arose, Bai Min was still able to get all the information that was going on out there through his loyal servant who was made as a substitute for his eyes and ears.

Bai Min was so angry that on the first day he was serving his sentence in a state of severe pain due to lashings that he heard the marriage decree of Arana and also the prince Jikxi of the emperor had arrived at the residence of the minister of Huan and it had been gladly received by the Huan minister himself, for it was instantaneous that hatred appeared within Bai min's deepest heart.

Since Bai Min had disliked Arana from birth, now he also had to add his hatred for Arana because the love of Prince Jikxi, was very troublesome, why should Arana? why not himself? what can be seen from the child who was never cared for by his family in the eyes of Prince Jikxi? why did Prince Jikxi choose Arana? the question that always pops up in Bai min's mind, the more thought gets Bai min to hate Arana.

Bai Min could not accept everything, when Bai min was feeling tremendous pain and still had to be confined in a dark, quiet room for the next three months, on what basis can Arana get a man who is so in his puja so easily?, a man who has great power and the most handsome face in this entire empire, the, Bai min would not let go of it at all, Bai min wanted either Arana or his second Jikxi prince to feel what Bai min was currently feeling, yap Bai min was planning to take revenge on the two people who had made himself into what he was today.

Bai min's hatred deepened for Arana, even though Bai min knew the cause of the punishment he had received because of his actions that had dared to offend the prince of Jikxi, who was the only one who had dared to offend him, but all that Bai min blamed on Arana too, Bai min hates for everything that befalls his current misfortune.

Arana is clearly innocent but the human heart is very complicated, so sometimes can not distinguish between good and bad, not infrequently also deliberately blame others without feeling guilty.

Arana went to visit her restaurant, seen the restaurant that used to be small has now turned into a 5-star restaurant that is visited by many high-level nobles, there were also millionaires as well as merchants from other empires who stopped by just to fill their hungry stomachs after a business trip or young masters and misses who were just taking a break time to enjoy their favorite meal at the restaurant.

Seeing this pleasant scene before her eyes, Arana ceaselessly thanked the god who had blessed her with a genius brain, despite all the misfortunes that Arana suffered inside the residence of the Huan minister, Arana was still able to grow very well outside the residence.

For a moment Arana thought, whether she could live better after bearing the status of princess a few more days?, considering her engagement only counts the day and after the engagement, Arana's status will change to a royal princess.

"Miss!" call Parta with a little scream makes Arana wake up from her daydream.

"what's wrong, uncle?" asked Arana when she saw what surprised her was her restaurant manager Parta.

"is she having a problem?" parta asked when she saw Arana who kept pensive all day, Arana did not even answer when called by the party repeatedly.

"nothing, just thinking about the little things, what did uncle call me?" said Arana with a friendly face but still looks flat (typical Arana is flat and cold like Prince Jikxi)

"i want to hand this over" Parta said while giving Arana a restaurant income/expenditure notebook.

Arana took the book and checked the contents inside her, everything is nothing wrong precisely the monthly income of his restaurant from month to month is getting up and growing very well making Arana smile with satisfaction when she sees him.

"Thank you uncle, you've done very well" Arana said sincerely.

"this has become my duty, Miss" said Parta.

"oh yes uncle, how is the shop next to us, which one of them is willing to sell it?" ask Arana seriously.

Arana plans to enlarge her restaurant, although it is now quite large but its capacity is still lacking if it receives VIP guests from other empires or when the kingdom is holding certain celebrations that will make its restaurant full of visitors, he said, so Arana decided to enlarge her restaurant again.

"Both stores next to us are willing to sell the store to you, miss, but the price is still quite high, as it will be troublesome for you to intervene miss" explained Parta who is in Arana's nod.

"If those two want to sell it that's a very good thing uncle, the shop on our right is as big as our restaurant, this one, the place can be developed into a very decent inn to receive some noble guests, and the shop on our left will be made to enlarge our restaurant" arana said seriously while considering everything.

Arana wants to build an inn not without reason, because her restaurant is already quite famous in the city so if juxtaposing an inn next to her it will be more profitable for her restaurant, tourists from other empires can stay and eat in the same place, if managed well then the results will be great profit.

In the world of business there is no word that is much better than profit, a businessman must know how to make a profit in his business, although the businessman is likely to experience a loss it will still be done as long as it has a fraction of a percent profit in his actions.

By trying as much as possible will certainly achieve what is in the direction ahead there, which is certainly no word give up and complain if bad things happen, because not all days will remain bright there will certainly be a time when the sky will blacken with a storm that arrives crashing without permission, for that do everything with the right strategy and tactics are needed, in order to have a place to shelter when the storm hits.
