Isekai: Princess Marquess Becomes Entrepreneur of Tempe

Epilogues. Weddings

"I don't want to be just a girlfriend. We're fiancees, yes!”

“Hah?! Wait a minute!” Elona sees Arthur's hand opening a velvet box, inside which is a diamond ring of the work of famous designers in the country.

“You proposed to me like this, did you tell Kak Stefan?” ask Elona. Arthur shook his head.

“Not yet. Stefan's business later! You first, want ya?”

“You really are, there are no romantic-romantic, anyway! It's we're still in the horse-drawn carriage, you know!” elona said astonished. Arthur shook his hand.

“That time I had prepared everything to be romantic, but instead you were invited to walk by Louis! I don't want to lose another chance!”

Hearing this, Elona laughed. Arthur was so upset to see it.

“Do not laugh, answer first!”

“Iya, yes, I want!”

“Yay!”

“Taking engaged to use force, anyway!” groused Elona. Arthur just laughed.

“Let it, the important thing is I get you!”

“But, you know, if whatever my answer is, it will not be valid if it has not been approved by Kak Stefan as the head of the Locke family?”

Elona's question was about Arthur. “So, huh? Shit, why until the last second, Stefan is always a barrier, anyway?!”

*****

One year later.

“Hey, the show will start in an hour, why aren't you ready yet?”

Louis entered Kiara's preparation room. The servants were busy pacing the room preparing dress, jewelry, and makeup equipment. While still wearing a towel on his head, Kiara's hand is still struggling with linen paper and quill pen in hand. Louis shook his head when he saw his lover was still busy with his work.

“Wait a minute, it's a responsibility if you have to delay now. Here's the rest of this one report only!” kiara said as she continued to write.

Lousi sighed inexhaustibly. “You why since working with Elona, so crazy work like this, anyway?”

Exactly a year ago after being released from prison, Kiara came to Locke's residence to sign employment papers. From that day onwards, Kiara will replace Ryndall who has been acting as Elona's temporary secretary. Ryndall is Stefan's secretary.

Elona has no secretary. During Ryndall's time as his secretary, Ryndall's previous job was replaced by Iris, which made the woman quite miserable. Especially after Iris got pregnant, the woman so should not be tired. Although Iris forced herself, Stefan banned her. Finally, Stefan's been overloaded all along.

While tidying up the remnants of his work, Kiara idly asked Ryndall his experience working for Elona.

And Ryndall replied, “You should get ready to work hard with Miss Elona.”

And this is what Kiara is doing right now. The girl was still busy even though she should have been getting ready because the important event would start in an hour.

Kiara was engrossed in writing several reports of tempe sales that had not been realized when the explosion occurred. After the soybean factory was rebuilt within three months, the Elona soybean business can be re-run. The factory could be built without any financial constraints, all thanks to Arthur forcing Elona to help financially from the Eckart family finances.

But as usual, Elona does not want to be helped for free. Arthur's help was considered a loan. Arthur could only shake his head inexhaustibly thinking about it, but left it alone as long as Elona was still willing to accept his help.

And this is what Kiara is also working on now, writing a debt payment report to the family of Duke Eckart, whose status is the fiancee of Elona himself as the owner of the soybean factory.

With the help of Kiara as her new secretary, Elona's job is getting faster. Moreover, Kiara already has experience about soy even though it is only a theory, but enough compared to other people in this world. Kiara is a very fitting candidate to be able to help Elona in her business.

After the soybean business was stable again, Elona and Kiara began to continue making tempe and marketing it. Because this tempe is made by Elona for ordinary citizens who want to enjoy eating meat from vegetables, the sale was done in places that are more price friendly for non-noble people, so the sale was done, such as shops and grocery stores.

In the cafe is also sold even though it has been varied with various kinds of spices and cooking styles, such as steak tempe. The new food is very popular among nobles who only want to eat vegetables, making Duchess Nania Eckart can expand her target market to those who are vegetarian.

In addition to 4 basic soy products, namely soy milk, tofu, tempeh, and soy sauce, Elona also widens its wings in the soybean business by adding variants such as tempe mendoan, tofu silk, and soy sauce, bongkrek and the like that can be made from the four basic products earlier.

Soybeans that were once underestimated and only became a complementary ingredient of soup, are now a favorite food for the community, especially among ordinary people. There are no shops, shops, and cafes that residents can enter without seeing the Armelin Locke brand displayed on its shelves. A remarkable achievement, considering the making of tempeh and know itself is actually just an effort Elona to repair the land used in the damaged mine in the area of Armelin.

Kiara was also able to realize her father's desire on earth for her to work in a soybean factory, although different from the world today. Therefore, Kiara did not want to waste the opportunity to work with Elona as well as possible.

“Kiara..” call Louis. But Kiara didn't heed it. Kiara sat at the dresser while her hair was tidied up by the servants, but her hands did not escape from her quill.

“Hmm...” replied Kiara.

“Kiara..”.

“What, Louis? A minute yes..”

“Wulandari Sudirja!”

“Why did you call me by that name?”

“You were so indifferent from earlier, anyway!” louis said sebal.

“Iya, yes. What's up?”

Louis pulled out a velvet box from his pants pocket. The young man opened the box and there was a ring there.

“I don't know, Louis who was in your favorite story proposed you get engaged in what way. But this is my way. You like?”

The novelty enveloped Kiara's heart, and involuntarily her tears trickled down her cheeks.

“Like... love it... even this is better than the one in the story...”.

*****

An hour later.

Kiara and Louis got off the carriage cabin in a hurry. The event they were about to attend had just begun.

“You are still working, when the time has passed!” Louis blames Kiara, making the girl resentful.

“You too, hell! Why even invite me to get engaged when I'm dressing up!”

They were present at a wedding hall. Seen around the building there is a pink and white decoration as a symbol of love. Louis and Kiara joined hands entering the room. Visitors' seats are almost full. They both walked to the front seat that had been specially provided.

Not far from them sitting, David and Mai looked at each other, joining hands while sitting. Iris also sat at the front, holding a tiny baby boy who was just 6 months old.

A priest was in front of the room. Next to him, the duke who had only served a year, Arthur Eckart, was ready in a white suit, and a red rose was embedded in the pocket.

The young man could not lie that his hands were trembling at this moment, but his heart was already very excited. His excitement got a small laugh from the soldiers who attended and sat in the row of the back seat.

“Tuh look, Young Master is shaking!”

“Hahaha! Looks so nervous for him!”

The pastor got ready at the podium and said, “Let's get the bride. Lady Elona Locke!”

The building door opens. And it appears Elona Locke entered the room so gracefully and beautifully with her white dress and hood on the head. Elona's hand browses Stefan, who is standing next to her, delivering his beloved sister to the altar.

Everyone was amazed by her beauty, not least Arthur Eckart. As soon as he saw his future wife enter the room, on one side he wanted to directly run towards Elona and hug her. But on the other hand, he also wants to expel all visitors so as not to linger enjoying the beauty of Elona.

Elona reached the altar and stood next to Arthur. The priest also began the wedding ceremony.

“For both brides, say the wedding vows I will say after this, please,

I am willing to be a good husband and wife, who will always take care of my partner, from now until forever. To love and cherish one another, until death do us part.”

“I am willing.” says Arthur. And followed shortly by Elona, “I am willing.”

After they exchanged rings, the priest began to say again.

“Now, the groom is allowed to open the head covering of the bride and kiss her as a sacred symbol of the marriage bond.”.

Arthur slowly opens Elona's head covering, which is greeted by a sweet smile from the bride. Arthur's heart seemed to want to be dislodged to see the girl who will now be the woman.

“Cium! Kiss!” exclaim Iris encouraging from the direction of visitors. The audience immediately followed his actions, except Stefan who grumbled bitterly because he was still not willing to release his sister for Iris' ignorant cousin.

But Stefan also knows that they both love each other, so the man is forced to release his sister by throwing various threats on Arthur before, to always keep Elona.

Arthur and Elona approached each other, and their lips touched each other, accompanied by the cheers of the guests who attended enlivened their holy marriage.

In such a tender kiss, Arthur and Elona tied their vows of allegiance. There is no more sadness that Elona will experience as in her past life in the future. Even if something bad happens, Elona is so sure that she will face it with her loved ones in this world.

Especially with Arthur Eckart, who began this moment officially became her husband. And Elona was sure that her man would stay by her side for the rest of her life.
