The Duke Daughter Life

04| Smoothly teasing

...HAPPY READING...

Wanner's face looks chaotic, this morning he meets his father and asks if it is true that Lail has ended their engagement. Instead of getting an answer 'yes' Wanner actually received a kick from his father.

The corner of Wanner's lips was slightly torn as a result of the kick. It turns out that Lail did not lie about the engagement, but who would have thought that Lail revealed the reason that he had an affair plus the one who came to see his father was Lail's own father. Therefore, his father is so enraged and asks Wanner not to see Lail again.

"Ah, slowly," complains Wanner when Aikkan treats the wound on the corner of his lips using a cotton swab that has been covered with medicine.

Currently, Wanner was in Aikksa's house, being in the living room accompanied by a medicine box. Wanner grabbed Aikkan's hand which held a cotton swab and kissed the back of Aikan's hand full of love. Aiksa was impressed, the two paddled each other long enough and ended up making out with each other. Aiksa smiled triumphantly at how Wanner was so obsessed with her rather than Lail.

"I managed to get a Wanner. Next, just wait for when we'll get married." Aiksa sat triumphantly, sitting on the lap of Wanner, Aikasi had forgotten his activities to treat Wanner's lips.

"Take it honestly with me. What did you say yesterday was true that Lail threatened you?" wanner's gaze shrouded in lust faded, changing into a look full of probing that made Aiksa like he was caught red-handed.

"Did I ever lie to you, Marquess?" Aikan's eyes glazed over, his shoulders then slumped weakly seeing the doubt in Wanner's eyes. "Why did the Marquess suddenly ask me that? Is the Marquess doubting me now?"

Wanner shook his head quickly, turning his gaze into a loving one before bringing Aiksa's face closer to her. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for asking that question. I shouldn't have put a little doubt on an innocent woman like you."

Aiksa nodded weakly, reviewed a thin grin and challenged Wanner's lips to truly belong to her.

...Raitle, Jaik Village, farmland....

Lail got off the horse-drawn carriage when he came to the countryside where most of the land was farmland. Lail could see how the green expanse with a neat pattern left her eyes wide open. Village Eve is so cool, but for now it feels so dry and scorching.

A week has passed since Lail ended her engagement to Wanner, and now she has spent time secretly helping Anom work out some of the problems at Raitle. A few days ago, Lail accidentally heard that the farmers in the jaik village messed with rainfall that was not in accordance with their expectations this year so it is likely that many farmers failed to harvest, so Anom will intervene to provide food assistance for farmers who will fail to harvest but, unfortunately, Anom has not found a solution to overcome the problem.

Lail entered the path flanked by rice fields, not far from there stood a small hut, filled with some elderly people staring at the nelangsa of their rice fields. Lail approached in the company of Daval behind him. Lail was wearing a black tulip-arm shirt and an accordion skirt, not too conspicuous even did not show that he came from a high noble family so some farmers did not know that Lail was the daughter of their landlord, so just be casual and ask Lail what she meant.

"What's up, son?" an elderly man asked while fanning his face with a worn hat, the sun was actually burning them, fortunately there was a hut to shelter.

Lail confirmed the wide-brimmed hat on his head and asked while looking away at the rice-planted farmer's rice field. "I was just wondering why your faces look so sad."

A middle-aged woman with a slightly stocky body let out a sad breath as she replied, "The low rainfall this year will make us fail to harvest."

"really. We will have difficulties if that happens" said another farmer.

Lail approached the paddy field then observed it more clearly. Daval notices Lail, holding a smile at how serious Lail is about this problem.

"Hm, looks like it can be done," muttered Lail.

Lail came closer and revealed a solution that made a twinkle of hope in the eyes of the peasants appear. Lail explained that this could be dealt with by creating irrigation lines. It should have been used since ancient times however, it does not seem like many farmers know about this way.

Long enough Lail talked with the farmers, even Lail took the time to see some other farmers fields that grow chili, tomatoes, and other vegetables. In less than a day, Lail managed to mingle with the citizens of Jaik, if you remember in his old life, maybe Lail could not blend in such a way because there were too many restrictions for him.

Lail was back in the afternoon with Daval. Tired all day walking around, Lail fell asleep in a horse-drawn carriage in the care of Daval. Daval approached, draped his cloak over Lail's body and sat back on the bench across from Lail in a horse-drawn carriage. Daval is constantly thinking about what causes Lail to change so quickly, this change makes Daval does not recognize Lail, like a new person even so Daval prefers the current Lail.

Before long, Lail arrived at the mansion in the afternoon. Lail awoke to find Daval's robe on his body while the owner was just about to wake up because they had reached the mansion.

Daval nodded and got out of the horse carriage, put a footing on the exit and was ready to grab Lail's hand so as not to drown when descending. However, just as he was about to enter the mansion, Anom and Redia had been waiting inside.

"Nobody anywhere? Since morning I've been looking for my sister out of worry!" Redia suddenly crammed into Lail.

Lail tried to hold back his frustration at Redia being so dramatic while Anom looked furious behind Redia without letting go of Lail's eyes.

"What's the brother of the Marquess' house?" asked Redia after letting go of her embrace.

Lail raised next to an eyebrow to see the innocent look of Redia when asking the thing that actually provoked Anom's emotions.

Lail was not immediately angry, but instead exhaled a tired breath as if understanding Redia's stupid attitude. "No. I just came from Jaik Village."

Anom's anger receded, changing interest and curiosity about what Lail was doing. Lail reviewed a thin smile then passed by Redia just like that.

"I was walking around with Sir Daval and it seemed like Jaik Village caught my attention, but when I got there some farmers were having problems" Lail explained.

Anom nodded to justify. "Indeed, they were worried that they would fail the harvest because the rainfall did not match their expectations."

Lail commented a faint smile seeing the anxiety of decorating Anom's face.

"What do you think of this, Redia?" Lail looked back.

Redia was surprised because Lail asked her a weighty question, plus a question thrown with a sarcastic smile that made Redia feel humiliated before answering.

"Why did you ask me?" Redia.

"Didn't you help with my business a lot? So, I'd like to ask your opinion."

Redia swallowed the nervous saliva plus when Anom looked at her so seriously, but in the end Redia just shook her head and said she didn't know about it. However, Redia did not want to lose in a landslide so she replied to Lail.

"What do you think of my brother?" Redia asked while slightly weaving her lips yet, hurriedly lowered her head. "Ah, sorry, sis! I forgot that brother wasn't too interested in Raitle's problems."

Redia's words made some eavesdropping servants hold back laughter, Lail knew what Redia meant, it was like stressing that Lail who only knew how to have fun where to understand about taking care of the various problems in Raitle, Raitle, or more roughly, a stupid woman seems unlikely to know the way out of a problem.

"Hm ...." Lail touched her chin as if thinking then looked back at Anom.

"I have spoken with the citizens of Jaik and proposed the construction of irrigation on their farms. After looking around the area, I think the irrigation line can be made in a short time so that the farmers will have no trouble in the future even if low rainfall will occur again," lail made everyone speechless, while Anom was stunned with a happy twinkle in her eyes.

"How can you think of getting there? I've only just realized that."

Lail glanced at Redia then looked back at Anom. "I want to discuss this matter with dad, do you have any free time?"

Anom nodded steadily then turned around while folding his hands behind his back and had Lail immediately follow him towards the study.

"Sorry, yes, Redia. We can talk next time and thank you for worrying about me" said Lail while showing the triumphant exertion that makes Redia actually dampen anger.
