Pseudo-Villaines

Makar Plan (1)

It has been a month since the construction of the port started. Jean oversaw this development directly.

He does not trust the kingdom of Bucharest. Jean believes the corrupt people will do misappropriation with the pile of money they receive. Therefore, Jean had to keep an eye on everything.

Thanks to that, everything went well. The first three days, the workers immediately removed the debris that was still scattered. Seven days later, reconstruction began. Up to now, it's probably been 50 percent so.

Jean is accompanied by two new Vassals. Rose held all military affairs and Priscillia was Jean's administrator.

"Everything went according to plan, sir. If progress like this continues."

"You're right. The sooner all this is done, the better."

Jean agrees with Priscillia.

"Alright, I'm leaving the rest to you two, Rose, Priscillia. I'm going to go around this town. See you soon."

Jean got on her horse after patting both of them on the shoulder. Not to forget, she also floated a kiss to Priscillia and Rose's lips, making the two girls' cheeks flushed red.

Jean smiled and immediately spurred on her horse, leaving the two girls still blushing.

Somehow Utah is a lot quieter than usual. Though it was still day. Jean drove his horse to a place. Not a mysterious place. Just an ordinary restaurant that is often visited by many people.

As soon as she got there, Jean put her horse in an available cage. After stroking her mane, Jean entered the restaurant.

Just like the conditions on the city streets. This restaurant is also quiet. The tables scattered in various corners were empty. Jean didn't see a single customer.

"Welcome sir. Is there anything we can help you with...."

A servant approached him. However once he knew who was coming, his expression instantly changed.

"I'm sorry for my impoliteness, sir. I didn't know you were coming to this place."

Jean shook her hand. Well, it's not the officer's fault. He had indeed come to this place without any reservation.

By the way, this was the base for the White Wolf he had sent from the Dublin kingdom. There are actually a few more places. But this restaurant is the biggest.

"Call 01 and 02 to face me now."

The waiter nodded. He left while Jean sat waiting. Moments later, two people came up to him and knelt down.

Jean gestured for them to sit on the bench. As soon as they sat down, one of them gave her a few sheets of paper.

"That's all the information we get based on your needs. Not much, but we can guarantee the accuracy that's in it."

Jean skimmed and nodded. He pocketed all the folded sheets into his pocket.

"Mr Jean, it is undeniable that this kingdom will suffer the same fate as the kingdom of Dublin. Therefore, please, save both."

Jean, who wanted to stand, stopped. He had not expected such a sentence to come out of the mouths of his men. With a cold expression, Jean said to his men,

"I'm not a hero. So I have no obligation to save anyone."

Jean could see the bitterness perched on the faces of his men. But yeah, he's not done talking.

Jean stands. He looked at his two men before leaving.

"Therefore, work as hard and as best you can."

After saying that, Jean stepped out of the restaurant, followed by the respectful gazes of her two men.

Saint Georgia City, Capital of Dublin.

"That boy was overdue. If allowed to continue, that bastard would be even more arbitrary. In any way, we have to stop him."

Inside his dining room, Viscount Lostov could not help his sense of regret.

He's not alone. The same was felt by the other two influential nobles. Earl Baldric and Duke Cassilas.

"You're right, Viscount Lostov. He had been willing to make a peace treaty with the enemy. In fact, he also provided them with help with benefactors. All of his actions really gave me a headache!"

Earl Baldric also spilled his wrath. Duke Cassilas nodded. He also agreed.

In various ways, they had actually attempted to crush Jean. Either that by trying to boycott and isolate her from other circles of nobility, or trying to make it seem as if Jean had betrayed the kingdom.

Result nil. Jean didn't care if she was ostracized by the other nobles. He had earned a favorite spot in the heart of the king. Giving him territory and the title of Baron is proof of that.

So too about betrayal. Jean may have acted very brashly by making a peace treaty with the kingdom of Bucharest. More than that, they also get great help.

But Jean managed to convince the king that both were very profitable. With a peace treaty, the Dublin kingdom has time to reorganize their powers.

Regarding the help that Jean gave to the kingdom of Bucharest, Jean also said that this brings profit that benefits the kingdom of Dublin in the future. The Kingdom of Dublin will receive more income than the tribute paid through Jean.

Wherever you look, Jean's argument makes perfect sense. He was also not indicated to do any other strange things. No matter how hard they tried to find a loophole and investigate the mistake that Jean might make, these nobles did not find any fault.

"In the end, this all happened because of the stupidity of the king who had given the boy a chance. Instead of getting rid of the boy, all we have to do is clear the root of the problem."

Viscount Lostov and Earl Baldric were stunned by the words of Duke Cassilas. It didn't take a genius to understand Duke Cassilas intent.

During this time, Duke Cassilas had been trying to instill his influence in the body of the royal family. He even married his younger sister to the king in order to control the Dublin kingdom under his feet.

Yet the man was constantly resisting his influence and trying to maintain his authority as a ruler. It was time for Duke Cassilas to make his nephew, prince Hans Cassilas of Dublin, the new ruler he could control at will.

"You both must have the same thoughts as me, right?"

Viscount Lostov and earl Baldric nodded."

"Therefore, we must move immediately. Remember, this is a secret between the three of us. None of you can leak this to anyone, including those closest to you. Understood?"

Again, the two nobles nodded. They did not dare to go against Duke Cassilas' will. Soon, their conversation was over.

Completely unnoticed by the three, Natasha Lostov, the daughter of viscount Lostov, eavesdropped on their conversation.
