Isekai: Princess Marquess Becomes Entrepreneur of Tempe

Chapter 65. Coronation Event

Next day.

"It doesn't fit the storyline! You should be with me and not him!"

The words were faintly ringed in Elona's ears, for the girl heard them when she became Tara, as the real Elona traveled with Louis to the city. Those words were thrown at someone, probably without that person noticing.

Kiara Perez's. The protagonist of the Heart Story webtoon. Whether recently or years before in this world, Elona is convinced that the protagonist is also the reincarnation of someone in the modern world, just like her.

Although Elona himself was not convinced of his own conclusion.

Is it possible that two souls can move into the same fantasy world? Is Kiara also actually a fan of the Heart Story webtoon?

In order to ascertain all her doubts, Elona was now in the grounds of Perez's residence to meet the girl.

A servant who opened the mansion fence was shocked by the presence of Locke family members in front of them. The meeting between nobles should indeed begin with a letter or invitation, not suddenly like this. Especially if the one present was precisely the higher noble of the castle to the house of a baron who occupied the lowest rank. The occupants of the house must have immediately come to greet.

"Miss Kiara Perez, is there? I want to talk to him."

"Sorry Miss... Miss Kiara is not home right now."

What... is not home? Is he still at Armelin?

"Welcome, Miss Elona Locke. My name is Penny Perez." The voice of the hostess who had just entered the room sounded. Mrs Perez curtsy in front of Elona.

"Greetings, Madam." said Elona.

"You looking for Kiara? I'm sorry, my daughter's been out of town for two weeks and she hasn't been home yet."

"I know where he went. He went after Louis to my town, Armelin. That's right, isn't it?" elona asked while looking hard at Penny Perez.

With that kind of eye gaze from someone whose caste was higher, it naturally made the madam bow her head in fear.

"Punish my daughter, if her actions trouble you. Kiara loves Mr. Louis very much. It does not mean to hurt your heart. He's actually a very good boy!"

"I didn't come here for that. After all, my engagement to Louis had ended a long time ago, so it didn't matter Kiara wanted to chase after the man. I'm here to ask you something else." said Elona.

"Say, Miss."

"A few days ago, my marine factory had a fire."

"Oh, sorry, I'm so sorry" Penny said sincerely. But Elona did not heed it.

"The way that he blew up my factory is unusual. The culprit is not from here." said Elona, then hold back his statement for a moment because he wanted to see the reaction of the hostess.

"You mean, Miss?" penny didn't understand.

"I mean, it's like the culprit's not from this world."

At that instant, Penny Perez broke out in a cold sweat. His face suddenly turned pale hearing Elona's words. "I don't understand what you're saying" he said.

"Mistress Perez, is it true that Kiara is not from this world? Answer the truth." Elona finally asked her important point.

"What do you mean?! I really don't understand!"

Elona breathed. The girl had guessed that Kiara's mother would not give any explanation.

"Mrs... actually, I am also from another world.” said Elona admitted her identity.

“What? You too-er!” Penny Perez slipped before she closed her mouth. And Elona caught hearing that.

“So right, that Kiara is also from another world? Aye right?!”

Penny Perez immediately moved out of her chair, wanting to avoid the conversation from Elona. However, the girl prevented him by holding his hand.

“Wait! I need an explanation from you, Madam. Because in the story, you are the person closest to Kiara Perez. There's no way you don't know this!”

“But..”.

“I gave up Louis to be with Kiara. I went to Armelin City and built something that could improve the welfare of the citizens there.

Then suddenly, everything just crumbled. Residents lost their jobs again!” exciting Elona. Penny Perez was stunned to hear that.

“Please, say something you know! It concerns the lives of many people!”

*****

At Locke's residence, in the capital.

“Sister Ryndall,”

Elona called her sister's secretary who was now in the study. Ryndall stopped his work for a moment. “Ya, Miss?”

“Please help me to send a letter to Sister Stefan. Tell him I found the culprit of the factory explosion.”

“Really?!”

“Iya. Tell him also to block the passage in and out of Armelin to another city. The culprit is most likely still in that city.”

Elona immediately explains to Ryndall what facts he has just discovered from the family home of Baron Perez. The secretary looked at the girl in surprise. He seemed to be in disbelief. But the fact that his young lady alone could come from another world, it was not impossible if there were others who also fared the same way.

“Good, Miss!” Ryndall took out a quill pen and new linen paper to send letters. When he was done, Ryndall rushed out of the study to send him the letter.

****

After Ryndall leaves the room, Elona goes to her sister's desk. Some untouched documents and piles of letters were still lying on it. Stefan actually left the house in a hurry and did not have time to clean up anything once he heard Elona fainted at Armelin.

Elona examined the pile of letters, just in case something important might not be seen by her brother. His eyes were fixed on a striking golden-coloured letter paper, with a red seal on top of its cover. The red seal is very recognizable because it depicts the logo of the kingdom where he currently lives.

“What is this? Invitation letter from the kingdom?”

Elona immediately unsealed her and read her letter. It contained an invitation of attendance for a duke's coronation party this afternoon.

“Ah, will there be a new duke crowned? Who are you?” elona murmur.

The invitation was clearly intended for Stefan, as he was the head of the Locke family. The problem is, Stefan's not in place. Her brother must have never seen this important letter.

The coronation of the duke was an important event for any noble to attend. There will be a new relationship and a new business. Not infrequently there is also betrothal matchmaking occurs for parents whose children have not found a partner.

Absence for reasons not strong enough meant insulting the duke who was being crowned. And Elona wouldn't want anything to ruin Locke's good name.

“Alright, then, I will be present to replace Kak Stefan.”
