A week passed, after the incident in which Viggo desperately invited Patrizia to sleep together. During that time Patrizia avoided Viggo and every day Viggo always sent gifts to Patrizia as his apology. Viggo sends dresses, jewelry and flowers. Even Viggo sent a gift of a pair of gray eyes because Steve said that Patrizia really likes to collect eyes.
Not happy that Patrizia was angry to get all the gifts. Honestly, he was deeply troubled by the crown prince's miraculous behavior but he could do nothing, he could only accept it. Moreover, Patrizia still needed the crown prince in his plan. The girl is busy with her thoughts.
"Healing Viggo to thwart Queen Andora's plans that would make Zello crown prince."
"Have full power over the city of Alodia."
"Get everyone sympathetic."
"Become the richest man in this kingdom."
After saying his last sentence, Patrizia immediately remembered the diamond and gold mines managed by the Gilda leader, Duke Chester.
After the arrival of Patrizia to the guild, that same day Duke Chester went straight to the city of Alodia.
FLASH BACK ON
Patrizia and Felix are in the castle where Patrizia lives. They had just returned from a place where there were many gold and diamond mines. The gold and diamond mines were north of the Alodia forest.
Felix was petrified as he saw how many gold and diamond mines there were. There are 31 gold mines and 25 diamond mines.
Felix was also very surprised when he first saw the city of Alodia. According to rumors, the city of Alodia is very scary because the city is cursed, especially the city has long been uninhabited and destroyed by the fire that occurred several years ago. But what Felux sees today is very different from the rumors because now the city of Alodia looks very beautiful and far from a creepy impression.
"So you've been living here all this time?" ask Felix.
"More precisely alienated by my own family."
Felix looked at the sad Patrizia.
"Don't pity me. I'm glad they exiled me to this place. Otherwise, how could I know about that gold and diamond mine? Aren't I very lucky? I can be the richest man in the kingdom maybe even in this world without doing anything."
Felix chuckles. "But you've got permission from the royal side to manage those gold and diamond mines right?"
"Why did I ask their permission? This city is mine." Patrizia gave Felix a file.
Felix's eyes puffed up when he saw the file. There it is written if Patrizia is the owner of the city of Alodia complete with the royal seal listed there.
"Hows it? Do you want to manage my mines?" ask Patrizia.
"Alright, I accept it."
"We agreed?" Patrizia extended her hand and was welcomed by Felix. "It's good to do business with you, Mr. Duke."
"It's nice to do business with you too Lady." Felix smiling.
FLASH BACK OFF
"Sam, is my business doing well?"
"Yes Lady even our sales are highest in this kingdom. Many gold and diamond artisans from other kingdoms bought us gold and diamonds because the quality is much better" explained Samuel. In addition to being his bodyguard, Patrizia also made Samuel as his right-hand man.
Zia, where are you? Come quickly. Princess Celia has been waiting for you since.
Patrizia frowned when she heard the message from Steve but a second later her eyes were puffed up as she recalled her promise with Celia. Two days ago Patrizia got a letter from Celia, the girl invited her to meet at the capital market. And now Patrizia has forgotten his promise.
It was too late for Patrizia to use her teleportation magic to go there with Ruben, Samuel and Imelda. If using a horse carriage I don't know when they will arrive.
In an instant they had already reached the forest near the market then they immediately went to the teahouse as Celia was waiting for her there.
Tea shop..
"Can I call you brother?" ask Celia.
"Of course, Princess."
"Not the princess but Celia is just Celia."
"All right, Celia." Patrizia smiled fakely.
"Sister, did you live in the city of Alodia as a child? Brother is not afraid? Alodia is a cursed city. You know the story too, right?"
"The city of Alodia is not a cursed city that happened 17 years ago it is not because of its cursed city but because of someone who abused its power." explained Patrizia.
"..indeed, when I first lived here, I was afraid because there was only me and my nanny who lived in this city. But after some time we get used to it."
Celia hugged Patrizia who was sitting next to her. "So great."
After hearing the words of Patrizia earlier Celia increasingly liked Patrizia. Likes in the sense of idolizing.
Hix.. I am so excited to hear your story. Ck! You drama queen!
Isn't my acting awesome?
Ruben stared flatly at Patrizia while pinning his head on Celia's stomach. Celia let go of her arms to Patrizia and stroked Reuben's head again. Yaps, at this moment Ruben the adorable cat was in Celia's lap.
MODE!!
After drinking tea, Patrizia and Celia were in the sword shop. Patrizia invited him because he was looking for a sword with a pheonix engraving on its handle. Actually Ruben sent Patrizia, what's the purpose?
Netra Patrizia sparkled when she had found something in her way but when she was about to take the sword there was another hand that took it first. Patrizia lost quickly.
His position was now that of Patrizia and the man was both holding a sword with the pheonix engraving. Seeing that Ruben smiled mysteriously.
"Deliver! I saw it first." Patrizia said flatly.
"But I touched it first." The low voice ran through Patrizia's ear.
Patrizia looked up to see the man's face but his face was covered in a mask. Kernyitan appeared on Patrizia's forehead as he stared into the person's eyes. It's like he's seen it, but I don't know where Patrizia remembers it.
They stared long enough until the man turned his face first. The man's ears were red.
The romance. Inner Ruben.
Be quiet!
The man jerked Patrizia's hand and immediately left with the pheonix sword. Patrizia was off guard and it was all because of Ruben's unqualified babble.
"Sister, let's find another sword." suggested Celia.
"No, I'm not interested in buying a sword anymore. Let's just get out of here."
They were all in one of the food shops. When the cool eating lunch suddenly heard a noise from outside.
A 10-year-old boy was beaten by a bakery owner because he was caught stealing his bread.
Patrizia who saw it was angry and immediately saved the child from the rampage of the shop owner. Patrizia was cruel but she never hurt children.
"Why did you hit him?" patrizia asked coldly as she stared intently at the middle-aged man who owned the tavern.
"She's a lady thief, that kid's been stealing bread in my shop a lot of times."
"Sam."
"Good lady." Samuel took out a bag of gold coins and gave it to the owner.
"That's the payment for the bread that the boy stole. Now let her go."
"Thank you lady." said the shop owner's son.
Patrizia looked at Samuel. Samuel understood the meaning of the gaze then he again took out a bag of more gold coins than before.
"Take it and do not steal it again." counseled Samuel while giving a bag of gold coins to the boy.
The boy looked at Samuel while nodding after that he looked at Patrizia. "Thank you lady."
"Hm, go."
The people who saw the incident were again amazed at Patrizia. The more people who like it it will be very profitable for Patrizia in the future.
"In addition to beautiful lady Letizia is also very generous."
"Yes, lady Letizia was like a helper goddess she did not hesitate to spend a lot of money just to help the street child."
"Lady Letizia really deserves to be the queen of the future. I am very supportive of the lady's relationship with the crown prince."
"I agree, lady Letizia would rather be with the crown prince than lady Sienna."
Patrizia's smile expanded upon hearing the praise from everyone but the smile faded away as people began to match her to the crown prince. It sucks!!
On the other hand there were people who were very happy to hear everyone match themselves with Patrizia. Viggo, the man turned out to be there in disguise. He followed where his brother and his heart went.
It did not feel like the day was getting dark, Patrizia and Celia were going to go home but when they were going to ride a horse carriage, suddenly there was an arrow that shot towards Celia if Patrizia did not pull it, the arrow would instantly strike right in Celia's heart.
Patrizia smiled obliquely, she knew the arrow was not in the show for Celia but for her. Patrizia had already sensed that someone had been in love with her since lunch at the food stall.
The rats had started to move.
Yes, after this you will continue to get attacks. Be careful.
"Celia, are you okay?" ask Patrizia.
Celia nodded with her pale face and her heart pounding crazily. The girl hugged Patrizia tightly.
Patrizia looked at Steve. "Steve, take Celia home. I'll take care of this."
"Be careful."
"Hm. Sam, Imel, you go home first. Ruben will stay with me." Patrizia took over Reuben's body from Imelda's sling.
"Well lady." they answered in unison.
Everyone left Patrizia. The girl walked towards the forest holding Ruben, knowing that her loved ones were following her into the forest. Patrizia stopped her steps, she prepared to attack but before that happened a familiar voice sounded. The voice of the man he had been avoiding this week.
"Do you need some pretty help?"
