The Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

CH 49

POV: Henriette Lilli von Bernstein

…

"Dad. I have a question for you."

“What's up, Lili? Tell me."

When I got back to my mansion, I was sitting on a chair facing my father. It was not a time for eating or drinking tea. I have something serious to discuss.

“This time, I was saved by Hal. But from now on, I don't want to always be protected by him.”

"Continue."

Perhaps feeling my seriousness, father also became serious and listened to me.

“Hal is very strong. I'm so proud of her as her bride. …… But I also don't want to just be protected. I also want to be a strong person who can stand by his side and support him.

"Hm. …… Eberhard is a boy so strong that it can be said that he is unusual for his age. Although his parents were northern generals, it could be said that it was a genius. Hard to believe.”

Dad's firm as always. But he thought about everything before he said anything. That's why I'm willing to listen to him even though he's loud.

"I understand. But I want to spend the rest of my life with Hal. I'll do anything for it. This is my own way of showing how I feel about her.

“..... It looks like you are stubborn about it. So what do you want to do?"

"I want magic training, dad."

I have a little more magic power than most people.I'm not as good as Hal, but I think I have the potential to become a witch.

"Magic. I've heard that magic training is hard. Will you be able to endure it?"

"Will I do! If I can't, do this. I'm not entitled to be with Hal. I want to be someone who deserves it. I don't want to be protected by Hal!"

Hearing my statement, father closed his eyes and thought for a moment. I wonder if he will allow me to learn magic, or not?

"…… Alright, I will send a trusted witch to teach you. Just remember, you said it yourself. Just don't forget what you said."

“Of course Dad. Thanks for that ……!"

Hal, I will do my best to become stronger. And I will be the woman who can stand beside you. Then we'll be together. Until then, I won't visit you. That's what I decided for myself

……, but please don't mind if I visit you once in a while, okay?

POV: May Arendal

“Sir! What are you doing here? in a hot, humid place like this?"

… When my father came out in a surprised voice, Hal and his father and Duke Lily's father were standing in front of my house. Yep. The surroundings were noisy because of the rough face, and the people on the street stopped and looked.

The Duke said, "My daughter is deeply indebted to your daughter, and I want to thank her."

The Duke said so and gave his father a package that seemed heavy. ……

“Daughter Duke? Is there something wrong with our store?”

My father, who had no idea what was happening, was in a state of panic. Interesting enough to watch from the side.

"No, that's not why I'm here."

“Mmmm, May. When do you achieve something like this. I mean, is the child who always comes to our house the legitimate son of the master? I'm sorry for calling you a bowler, please forgive me!

“Hahaha, this is too much, sir. It's okay to call me a bowler, as usual. …… Also, the unique May way of speaking is the same as yours, it's funny.”

Things smile happily. When Hal looks happy, I feel happy too. It's a strange thing.

“This workshop is small and dirty. , But…"

"Well, you're blocking my way."

"Excuse me."

"Sorry to bother you."

The duke, lord, Hal, and his guards came to Arendelle's workshop one after another. Rather troublesome. To be honest, I want everyone except Hal to leave as soon as possible.

“So, about the gift..”.

Hal's father started talking.

"Yes." Yeah."

“You can give it straight away, but he's still a kid. I'll let him take his gift once more when he's an adult, but for now I've decided it's better to give the gift to your Arendahl workshop."

"To my workshop, you mean?"

"Yes. I've heard that this workshop has a very high level of technology. I also heard that they have created a number of new inventions.”

It probably refers to many of the inventions I made with Hal, such as ball bearings and magic power batteries.I was happy to develop them, but it made it troublesome, he said, so I just taught the workers in the workshop how to make it and left the rest to them.

“So, I want the Arendahl workshop to be owned by the Farenheit.” family

“Hown!”

Dad jumped in shock. Well, I can understand his feelings. If they become clients, We will be prioritized to work, our revenue will increase, and most importantly, it will be stable. Unless the master, the noble, is forced to change his way of life, we need not worry about working for him. For craftsmen who are not good at doing business, this is something that drools.

“I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. Finally, we will be able to buy and join other small workshops that struggle to stay afloat, and we will be happy if they become bigger from now on.”

“The workshop I inherited from my father is now my own workshop. …… “……. It was worth the effort to come here from my hometown, my father. Your granddaughter has done an incredible job. …… ”

The father muttered something thinking about my now deceased grandfather.

"I'm thinking of using such a policy for the time being, isn't it a problem for you?"

"If you don't like it, you can reject it. I won't complain.”

I'm glad Hal said that. It is impossible for us commoners to refuse an offer from a noble. I had no intention of resisting, but the fact that she gave me the choice proved that she cared about me so much. This makes me happy.

"It makes no sense to refuse. We, Arendelle Workshop, would love to be acquired by the Frontier Count family!"

"Very good. ”

“I'll do my best.”

If our workshop will be owned by them, the workshop facilities will be upgraded. I'm glad to think that I can work on even more inventions from now on.

If Hal asks for my help again, as he did this time, I will polish my skills more so that I can help as well, and I will create more inventions!
