Isekai: Princess Marquess Becomes Entrepreneur of Tempe

Chapter 39. Locke Armelin's

"Later the pipe please be plugged in this direction, yes! Yes, that pipe. Must be able to drain the waste properly all the way to the tank later!" elona said as she gave instructions to the construction workers.

Early in the morning Elona had arrived at the field, precisely in the area she agreed with Ryndall a month ago, to erect a building that would later be used as a tofu factory complete with its waste disposal tank. In the area currently there are several construction workers and land dredgers who are working in accordance with the instructions from Elona.

A three-meter-high copper tank had been prepared, and it would be buried into the ground. There are three types of pipe holes that have been made on the side of the tank. The other is located at the top, and the other two are at the bottom with different sides. In addition, two pipes with a large diameter and one small diameter pipe have been prepared.

"Why are three pipe holes made, miss?" ryndall asked cluelessly as he checked that the tank was in perfect condition when he arrived at the area.

"The one down here is to drain the waste from the plant into the tank, the second one down this to remove the remaining solid waste, and the last one above that to the gas line." obviously Elona.

"The gas that Miss said could explode it?!" Ryndall immediately asked in a horrified tone.

"Yes that one. We just need to set it up so it doesn't explode."

"How is it?"

"Later if everything is done, I will show you directly how." said Elona.

The plant is planned to have several rooms, including for soybean storage warehouses, milk making rooms, tofu making rooms, and waste disposal rooms before being drained into the tank. Elona also prepared two empty rooms just in case he might need a place for something unthinkable now.

Before long, a luxurious horse carriage stopped right near Elona. From inside the cabin, a pair of men and women descended in unsuitable clothing when worn in a dirty field. However Elona recognized the couple, and greeted them with a surprised face.

"Sister Stefan! Brother Iris!"

Elona immediately ran over and hugged the one-of-a-kind brother. For months the girl had not met him and only communicated by letter.

"Hello, my dear sister. How are you?" stefan asked while stroking Elona's head.

"Very good! Why don't you tell me if you want to come here!"

"We want a surprise!"

"Elona! This you?! Oh my God, your body is so beautiful!" Iris walked around Elona's body with a look of amazement. Her current weight has indeed touched the number that the girl wants, which is 55 kilograms. Elona smiled happily.

"Hehe, yes brother. My diet program worked! I've replaced my old, oversized clothes with new ones, hehe."

Elona hugged her sister-in-law now. "Why are you here?"

Asked that, Stefan and Iris looked at each other, then turned to look at Elona. "You don't know, yeah, if you're famous in the capital?"

"Known? What does brother mean?"

"This product of your soy milk is very popular in the capital, baby. It tastes good and the nobles always come to the One-Even Cafe to drink it, including me!" Iris said with a laugh.

"Oh yes, the cafe. You're so good at working with Duke Eckart's cafe. I was also shocked to see soy milk under the Locke Armelin brand everywhere. All my business friends asked me that." Stefan explained.

Elona did indeed simply give the brand name to his soybean product 'Susu Locke Armelin' just so that buyers know that the production was done in Armelin by the Locke family.

"Known to get there?" Elona asked confusedly.

"Yes! Until the reporters wanted to interview me about the success of mining land here. They think I'm taking care of the business. I tried to answer as I could!" stefan.

"Well, as you can see for yourself," Elona pointed towards the fields, where the workers were working on the second cycle of soybean harvesting.

"Everything is going well now. The land is getting more fertile. Now I can grow soybeans without having to do the liming again." continued the girl.

"Oh, how's that about Cafe One Sip? Why our products can be present as a new menu in a famous cafe so?" this time Iris asked.

"Ah, if that, thanks to someone! You two come here!"

Elona invites Stefan and Iris to walk to the middle of the field, to approach someone who is working hard to dig the ground at this time.

"This, Uncle. Take a break" said Art, handing over the bottle. The old man took it and thanked him.

"You young man, your body is still very good, yes. We who are these elders feel defeated, hahaha!" said another man, looking at the muscles of Art visible from the tunic arm he rolled up.

"Ah, Uncle could have! I still can't compare to you guys who have more farming experience than me!" exciting Art.

Art's association with the citizens of Armelin did bring him closer to them, without them knowing his true identity. And Art was comfortable with all that.

"By the way, you look close to Miss Elona. You have a crush on him, huh?"

"Eh?!" asked like that, Art's face immediately flushed in embarrassment. It was also met with laughter by the uncles of the field workers.

"Haha! You young man! Can't hide his feelings well!"

"I remember my youth! Keke!"

The old men chuckled at Art's behavior. But someone else said, "Darling you are different castes. Although it could be that the young man of the village married the noble lady, but that would be the gossip of many parties, hmm..."

"What a pity your fate is, son. If you were born into a family, your love would soon be delivered."

They also shook their heads, thinking about Art's next fate, without them knowing that they were talking to a duke's son.

"That!"

From a distance, a voice appeared calling out the name of the young man. The one who was called turned to the source of the voice. Elona waved her hand. "Let's have a minute!"

"Well called the idol, tuh!" seductive a worker.

"Come right up to him!" yell at the other.

"Yes, yeah. I'm leaving first." said Art, then walked over to Elona.

Halfway to where Elona was standing, his steps came to a halt, when he saw a pair of men and women standing behind Elona. Especially seeing the women. Art gasped, his eyes widened when he recognized the faces of the two people. And the two men also seemed to recognize Art's face. The young man is not ready if he has to face the couple now. He stepped towards Elona.

Because it did not arrive, Elona also approached Art who stood sculpting. The girl grabbed his arm. "Come, come! I'll introduce you to my two brothers!"

Elona pulls Art's arm to approach Stefan and Iris. Getting closer, Iris' eyes rounded after seeing the man's face. Especially Stefan. His forehead wrinkled and his breath was restrained once he recognized who had been pulled by his beloved sister's arm.

"Sister Stefan, Sister Iris. This is my friend Art from Rudiyart village!" elona said as soon as she arrived in front of her two brothers.

"Err, salute, Mr and Mrs Locke." Art was still trying to act in front of Iris, her distant cousin.

"You..." Iris stared in disbelief. The woman covered her mouth with a fan in her hand.

Stefan is not silent. As soon as he saw the young man and recognized his face, he immediately snatched the collar of Art's tunic and lifted it up. His roaring breath held back the emotion that was about to explode. Hatred just like that, especially when he remembered the mischievous behavior that his wife's distant cousin had done to him.

"You!! What are you doing here, huh! What have you done to my sister?!"

Art was immediately dragged towards the front. Iris was shocked by her husband's actions, but she understood why. The one who doesn't know anything here is Elona. The girl was so shocked when in an instant her brother turned violent towards her friend like that.

"Sister! What is?! Why attack my friend? What's wrong with him?!" Elona screamed in panic. He tried to release his brother's hand which still pulled Art's collar. The young man tries to escape from Stefan's clutches.

"Friends? What friend!! Don't you know who he is?!" Stefan's still emotional and trying to beat Art.

"Art is my friend who has worked so hard to help me from scratch! He's a friend from the village who's very meritorious to me! Does your sister recognize him?!" Elona explained with great difficulty. Stefan looked at his sister in surprise.

"From the village, you say?! You really don't know who he is?" ask Stefan. Elona looked at him confused.

Stefan snorted dejectedly, "Hey, what lies did you tell my sister, huh! Tell the truth! Tell me you're-"
