The Neglected Princess

21. Supporting Leader?

A few days later. Olivia and Emma come to a property agent. Emma informs Miss of her employer, if there is a strategic location that Olivia might like. The arrival of Olivia and Emma is welcomed by the property agent owner. They immediately asked the type of house Olivia wanted.

"Miss, what kind of house do you want?" ask the property owner.

"I want to find land to build a building. Is there?" ask Olivia.

"Oh, of course. Just sec. I'll get you the list" said the middle-aged man, who was busy looking for the list in his desk drawer.

Not long after, the man found the book he was looking for and gave it to Olivia.

"Please, Miss." Said.

Olivia looked through the contents in the book. He looked for the land address Emma had informed him about in the book. And it turns out there really is. Olivia immediately said that she wanted the land.

"I want land on Verox A-10 road. Is this the price?" ask Olivia.

"Yes, Miss. That's an old price. We have not raised the price yet" replied the seller.

"Well, I I'll pay cash with gold coins" said Olivia.

Olivia took out a bag and gave it to the seller.

"Take. It's two thousand gold coins. I give more as a bonus" said Olivia.

"Thank you, Miss. Please fill in and sign this used. The ownership papers will be made soon, you can come a week after this." Seller says.

"alright. Oh, ja. What you pu .. "the words of Olivia came to a halt. Because a man came suddenly and shouted.

"I want to buy it" said the man approaching the seller.

"Yes? Buy what, sir? do you want to buy a house?" asked the seller to look at the man who had just arrived.

"Land. Land on Verox A-10 road. I want that land. How much?" asked the man staring intently at the seller.

Olivia was shocked, "What the hell is this. Come directly to ambush. Not knowing how to be polite," Olivia's inner frowned.

"Pardon me, sir. That land, it's been sold to this lady" said the seller.

The young man looked at Olivia, "How much do you ask? I'll buy it double. No, three times the price you bought" said the man.

"I don't want to" replied Olivia.

The man frowned, "Hey, Miss. Don't let my patience run out. If you're not happy with my offer. You can open the price" said the man.

Olivia looked at the man beside her, "Who are you? Ah, naw. I don't care who you are or where you are. However, I want you to know that all these things have rules. I took the land first. Why are you forcing me to hand it over to you. How much you pay, I don't want to. Can you understand my words?" said Olivia.

"Why is this woman so persistent. Anyway, I can't lose that land. Because it was the land of the late Father and Mother," the young man's inner self.

"It's so annoying. It's better to leave before getting involved in anything untoward," Olivia's inner self.

"Yes, Miss. Be careful on the road" said the seller.

Olivia and Emma leave the property immediately. The young man tried to persuade the seller, but the seller refused because Olivia had already signed the property's handover letter. The young man had no choice. He immediately ran out to chase after Olivia.

On road. Olivia nagging. Emma also responded. They were gossiping about the strange man who suddenly came and was being disrespectful that they met at the property agent's house.

"That's weird. Many land options were in place, but he chose those that others had already bought. Don't-don't have anything," Emma murmured.

Olivia looked at Emma, "What's wrong? don't tell me it's problematic ground" asked Olivia.

Emma shook her head, "No, Miss. I have investigated and the land has no problem. The property agent is also an honest and trustworthy person. What I mean by that, maybe the land has been targeted, but first by Miss." explained Emma.

"Oh so. Anyway, I paid in full and the land is already mine. Who quickly he can," said Olivia.

"Miss in robes, wait .." shouted someone.

"Who?" inner Olivia.

Olivia stopped her steps and turned around. I want to know who called him. Once she knew who called her was the arrogant man she met at the property sales, Olivia wanted to turn around and leave. However, the man prevented and said he wanted to say something important.

Olivia was finally willing to listen to what the young man wanted to tell her. The young man tells Olivia to drink tea at a dessert shop so that the conversation is not awkward.

***

Olivia sat facing the stranger. Emma sat at the other table not wanting to disturb. The young man finally introduced himself to Olivia. His name was Deon Fillene, a Marquis.

Olivia frowned, "Why does her name sound familiar, huh? maybe he is one of the supporting characters in the novel. However, I don't remember it. I will try to remember again. Let's listen first, what this young man wants to say." Olivia's mind

"I'm sorry, I've been disrespectful to you, Miss." Deon.

"Yes, it's okay. I also apologize for my insolence." replied Olivia.

"That's ..this is about the land you bought. Do you really not intend to sell it to me?" ask Deon.

"Unfortunately no. I desperately need that land, sir. Its strategic location makes me interested in buying it," replied Olivia.

"Yes, it is located in the middle of the city. With easy access and crowded roads. Do you want to create a Mansion or Castle?" ask Deon.

"I will build a high-rise building. Bigger and bigger than the castle. Speaking of land, what is the reason you urged me to sell it? I feel you are eager to own the land. Can you explain it to me?" ask Olivia.

And finally Deon explained what really happened. If in fact the land was sold by his Uncle without Deon's parents' knowledge. And not long after it was sold, Deon's parents found out. Both are trying to raise money. Unfortunately, fate says something else. Not to buy back, Deon's parents were involved in an accident and died. Deon's mother died on the spot, and Deon's cared for father left a message in order to repurchase the land because it was a precious ancestral relic.

"That's it, Miss .." said Deon.

"Hm, the touching story. I am mourning the passing of the Marquis and the Marchioness. However, if I were to give it to you, I would find it hard to find a similar location" Olivia said.
