Isekai: Princess Marquess Becomes Entrepreneur of Tempe

Chapters 37. Nibbles

Falling in love is a million things. A series of romantic words flashed in the poem, rhyming verses sung in the song. If you don't meet it feels empty like something is missing. It felt like there was a lot to say when we met.

This is exactly what Arthur Eckart feels today. She has become more and more irritated since she realized her feelings for Elona Locke. However, the girl is getting busy with her time just when Arthur's desire to meet exceeds the previous.

Today it has been three months since Elona made an offer to Duchess Nania Eckart about marketing soy milk in powder form. Of course, the lady Eckart was very enthusiastic to hear it. He is willing to provide packaging capital. Duchess Eckart is even willing to help Elona obtain trademark rights and market them.

Previously, only One Sesame Cafe in the branch of Rudiyart City alone could provide soy milk menu. Now, since there is a powder version, now Elona's small factory-made soy milk can be marketed in all branches of cafes in other cities because it is easy to carry and more durable in storage.

The results of sales of liquid soy milk original taste and taste variants and powder versions, have reap profits as much as many times the actual expenditure. Elona was able to continue planting soybeans for the second cycle, and also helped repay the previous bank loan debt used by her brother to pay the limestone as much as 60 tons.

The busyness of Elona is so dense in the fields and soy milk factory that makes Elona even no time to exercise the afternoon again on the edge of the lake as before. His meeting with Arthur at the Rudiyart City art festival was his last in three months.

Well, Arthur would still meet him in the fields, but even then if Elona came to visit his soybean plants.

Today, the girl spends more time in the workspace to manage her soybean production and distribution business thoroughly. Even at night, Elona is too tired and often falls asleep early before Arthur can come to her through the window like he used to.

"Why after I realized my feelings, the girl even became hard to find, anyway! Argh!!" arthur shouted in his study at the Eckart residence.

His secretary, David, who had noticed his young master's behavior earlier, could only shake his head and sigh. He was the same age as his master, but David never experienced what Arthur felt. For him who has an indifferent personality, feelings and work should not be mixed like this. David has never experienced falling in love himself, but at least he knows when to be professional.

But his young master was hard to remember. Even David will get a splash because of Arthur, and all his work will still fall apart. So, rather than advising, it was better for David to choose silence. Today, David is focused on his desk, sitting still and doing his job as a secretary, trying not to know about his young master.

"David! What do I have to do?!!"

It is from being silent, it still has to be bothered too, said David with a kiss in his heart.

"Write a letter." said David briefly and accordingly. Arthur looked at his secretary in astonishment.

"Ah, smart!"

The young master immediately took out a blank piece of paper from his desk drawer. Arthur started writing something. Shortly after, he ripped it off. His face looks agitated. Then take another piece of paper, and write again. Then it was torn again. And so on until the floor around his desk was filled with clumps of paper. His hands scratched his head.

"David! What should I write?!"

God save me from this man...

David let out a long sigh many times and lamented to himself.

"Ask him the news. Ask about his current activities. When he has free time. Then tell her that she's free to meet him again somewhere."

Like a teacher dictating to his students, Arthur was following what David had suggested. He wrote carefully, then smiled happily. Then, Arthur put the paper in an envelope.

"Here, take it to Locke's residence." Arthur handed the envelope to his secretary. David was surprised.

"Me?! I'm busy, sir!"

"I'm busy too. I'll do all your parts. Hurry there!" Arthur shook his hand to throw his secretary out of the room.

David could only grumble. He could not refuse it, especially after his young master offered to represent his work. Although his employer often acts silly, he can work twice as fast as David.

"Want to meet Miss Elona? What's the need?"

David's arrival was greeted by a female servant who stood firmly in the front yard. The name tag said 'Mai' was embedded in his chest. David got off his horse's saddle and thrust an envelope.

"Want to deliver a letter from Mr. Arthur." replied David. Mai opened her eyes in surprise.

"What's it say?" ask the servant girl. David shrugged his shoulders.

"Come away" he replied indifferently.

"Tell your master, lest he dare to play Miss Elona!" Mai receives the envelope from David's hand while throwing a threat.

"will not. My master was already entangled in his heart by Miss Elona." David said, then scrunched his forehead, "After all, why did you bother?"

"Did you never feel you had to protect your master from all sorts of dangers?"

David chuckled amusedly at her, "My master is already that strong, why would I protect her again! Does your non need protection to that extent? Is he that weak?"

David never objected to his master being in a relationship with anyone, but he never really agreed. For him, love and feelings are mortal and illogical. So, she could not see what importance Elona Locke had in the eyes of this Arthur Eckart and the servant before her.

"I warn you just this once, never try to insult my young miss! To me, he is my life!"

Mai stared intently at the man before her. As a co-worker of the marquess family, in addition to being trained to serve, Mai is also prepared with martial arts if at any time Elona is in danger.

"Alright, alright. I'm sorry. I didn't insult him anyway. I mean, trust your Miss Elona, if she's not that weak."

After David apologized, Mai put the little knife back in her storage and said, "You don't know anything."

"Hmm, yeah. I'm sorry." said David again. He will lie if he does not admit that he was scared enough. All this time he had no expression of anything. But only this time there was someone who could threaten him to such an extent.

"All right, I'll go first." David immediately climbed back on his horse. But before leaving, he looked closely at Mai, then smiled. A very rare smile, considering David is famous for his indifferent and cold attitude.

"Hmmm..."

"What?" Mai opened her eyes at him.

"You're beautiful too when you're angry and judes so."

"...!!"

"See you later." David breezed away with his horse while shaking his hand. Her recent utterance managed to make Mai's face very red to the ears. But he can't say anything. Even when he had delivered the letter to his young miss, his face was still very red.

No one has ever praised him like that.

"Mai, what's wrong with you? You sick?" elona asked worriedly as soon as she saw her favorite companion's maid coming to deliver a letter with a face so red as a tomato. But Mai shook her head quickly.

"It's okay, Miss! Excuse me first!" mai said as she shouted, then hurriedly left after putting Arthur's letter on the table. Elona was astonished to see it.

"Hmm, Miss. For the factory equipment and equipment checking report I've been working on."

What happened to Mai?

Elona soon awakens from her daydreams about Mai when Ryndall submits the results of the factory report to her desk. Ryndall put the report on the table, right on top of Arthur's letter that had not been glimpsed by Elona.

"Thank you, Ryndall. I'll check later." said Elona.

"Oh yes, Miss, what about the snack that Miss said the other day?"

"Oh, about that." Elona looked at her sister's secretary. "Yes, there is one snack that makes it the same way as soy milk. This difference is added acidic liquid, then compacted. So it's like soy milk but it's a solid version."

"Acid waters?"

"Yes, we can use lemon juice for that." explains Elona, considering that in the world where she lives now does not have vinegar, then the girl should look for alternative acidic liquid.

"What's the name of this snack?" ask Ryndall.

"The name knows."

"Know... Well then, since it's almost like milk, are we going to make it in our little factory?"

Ryndall asked as he pointed out the window to the bottom of Locke's residence. It appears there some workers and servants passed by to make and distribute soy milk made by Elona.

"Oh, no. To make this know must be calculated carefully, especially about where the waste will be drained." Elona immediately prevents the idea from Ryndall.

"What's with the waste from food manufacturing to know that? Can't we just drain it into the river?"

Elona sighed and looked at Ryndall, "Sister, the sewage knows it stinks a lot and can pollute the environment. The fish in the river will die if polluted with this waste in just a matter of days."

"This waste is poisonous...?" ryndall asked, he was trying to digest what his master had just said.

"It is poisonous, and can even explode if the gas is collected and sprinkled with fire."

"What?!"

Elona nodded. He did not realize that he had forgotten something, namely Arthur's letter which has been hit by various documents and business reports on the table.
