The Neglected Princess

22. Transaction

Deon frowned thinking hard. He is confused as to how, because Olivia seems to need the land. Not long ago Deon remembered, if he had private land in his name a birthday present from his parents. The location is also strategic. It's just on the corner side.

"Did I trade that land, huh? How about I ask you first, "inner Deon.

Deon looked at Olivia, "Miss, how about I swap with the land on Bruch Street, C-8. If you want to see the land directly, I'll drop you off. The land is bigger than the land you just bought. Burch Street is also crowded.  However, the location of the land was in the corner. Whether you like it or not, I just want to try transacting with you." Obviously Deon.

Olivia was surprised, "At the corner? what does it mean to be on the street?" ask Olivia.

Deon nodded his head, "Yes, Miss." she replied.

"Hm, if you want to build a hotel, it is better in a corner. Moreover, I also want to create a mercenary headquarters. After all this young man seemed eager to own the land," Olivia's inner self.

"Well, I'll give you the land I bought. You sold how much land?" ask Olivia.

"Price you bought the land earlier is also okay. I also did not know what to use the land for because I did not think of anything." Answer Deon.

"alright. Come on, let's go back to the property agent. I'll have the seller change it on your behalf. And ask Mr. Seller for help to process the land you said earlier" said Olivia.

"Are you really?" ask Deon worried.

"Yes, I really mean it. Otherwise, how can I speak like this in front of you. Quickly finish the tehny, then we'll go." Olivia.

Deon finished his tea. And went with Olivia and Emma from the dessert shop, to the property they had just been to.

Arriving there. Olivia also said that if the ownership of the land will be replaced in the name of Deon. And ask the seller for help taking care of Deon's land letter given to Olivia. The seller understood, he said he would immediately take care of what was injured. At the promised time. A week later, they could already come pick up his land letter. Olivia thanked him, and said goodbye, and so did Deon.

On travel. Olivia and Deon are talking about Deon's land. Olivia asks, did Deon buy the land or get a gift? and Deon replied, if it was a gift from his parents.

"Oh, yeah. What's Miss' name? You haven't introduced yourself to me" Deon said.

"Oh, sorry. Even if it is too late, I will introduce myself. My name is Ivy" replied Olivia.

"Ivy? So, can I talk informally to you? I think we're the same age" Deon said.

"Yes, please. I, ah, I think it's better." Answer Olivia.

"You sure you don't want to see that land?" ask Deon.

Olivia thought for a moment. He looked at Deon, "Okay, come on ." replied Olivia.

Deon drives the way. They pass through small alleys to get to their destination quickly.

***

After a long walk. Finally they arrived. Deon, Olivia and Emma stood in front of the vast wasteland.

"Well, this is huge. Not only wide, but also long. Have you nothing to lose selling me for land in Verox?" Ask Olivia.

"It's okay. Consider it a thank you sign. I feel like you need this kind of land for your multi-storey building" Deon replied.

Olivia looked at Deon, "Deon .. Do you know where to get a construction permit? Doesn't building have to get permission from the government? Should I go to the Emperor?" ask Olivia.

"If you build a mansion and a castle I don't think you need permission" Deon replied.

Olivia tells Deon her plan in a whisper. Deon was shocked, when he heard Olivia would build a three-story building with many rooms called a hotel.

"Hm, I think I can help you. Do I want to help you?" ask Deon.

Olivia widens her eyes, "Really? Of course I would. Then, can you find an architect and a construction expert?" ask Olivia.

"Thank you, Deon. I want you to help me" said Olivia.

"No problem. Just tell me, if you need help. I'm going to hunt you down because you've been kind enough to give me the land in Verox. Just with my help, I wish I could help you, Iv. " said Deon.

"You're wrong. Your help is not a little help. Starting from the ground, taking care of permits to building experts. You want to help me. I'm really grateful. If you want, I'd like to take you on business. Of course we'll share the profits" Olivia said.

"Business?" mumbling Deon.

"Yes, business. Once the hotel is completed, I definitely need people to manage it staff. Food suppliers, and many other things. If you don't mind, may I ask you to help me? because I feel less about taking care of it myself" Olivia said.

"Ah, so. I-i understand. We'll think slowly about that. We have to get a permit and make a hotel plan first, then build the base. Take it easy, Iv. I'll find the nicest person, even if it's from outside the region" Deon said.

Olivia thanked him while smiling beautifully. Deon developed a smile, giving Olivia thanks. After seeing the land, and the surrounding, Olivia also said goodbye. Deon offers to drive Olivia.

"I'll send you" said Deon.

"What's? No need to bother." said Olivia.

"I don't feel bothered. Do you mind if I drop off?" ask Deon.

"No, that's not what I meant. I just feel bad" Olivia said.

"Forget that bad taste of your heart. Come on," take Deon away.

Eventually Olivia and Emma get an escort from Deon to Duke Hubbert's residence.

***

Arriving at Duke Hubbert's residence. Deon was surprised. His eyes immediately widened to see how luxurious Olivia's residence was.

"Iv ... What's your father's job?" mumbling Deon.

"My dad? He's a swordsman, usually going to war or exterminating monsters." Answer Olivia.

"So-so, apparently." muttered Deon.

"It is impossible for an ordinary swordsman to build a castle this grand," Deon's inner.

Butler suddenly came out and called out to Olivia. Conveying, if Victor's looking for Olivia since a while ago.

"Miss, thank goodness you're back. Mr. Duke's been looking for you since then," Butler said.

"Daddy looking for me? what's up, huh?" murmured Olivia was confused.

Deon's shocked, "Lord Duke? A-are you the daughter of a Duke, Ivy?" ask Deon.

"Ah, that .. I don't really want to hide it. There's a reason I didn't mention my family name. Sorry, Deon." said Olivia.

"It's okay. I understand," replied Deon.

"You want to go in first?" tawar Olivia's.

"No, thank you. I still have things to take care of. I'll go first" Pamit Deon.

"Yes, Deon. Careful. See you in a week" said Olivia.

Deon leaves Olivia. Olivia stared at Deon's departure, after Deon was not seen again, then he entered the castle.
