Chapter: 782
“I’m here to deliver the emperor’s message to you.”
“I was with His Majesty just now”
“……this is what he said this morning.”
Vellian cleared his throat. “The Emperor said he would give the new Duke the land of the Southwest as a congratulatory gift.”
Of course, the Emperor had talked about gifts this morning and ordered the butler to send them to the Empress.
Vellian took on the role of a troublesome aide who was ordered to inform the Empress himself, instead of the butler.
He was tricked into coming here while His Majesty went on a picnic.
Astelle, who was indifferent to this remark, showed a surprised look.
“That’s too much of a gift.”
The Emperor wanted to give a territory gift to the Duke who had just inherited the title? That rarely happens.
There will be many protests of disapproval because of that.
“Are you going to refuse?”
“It’s not even a gift for me. Brother Fritz will tell His Majesty in person.”
She said so, but she herself would say no to Kaizen directly.
It’s not good for the Reston family to stand out too much.
“Since you’re here, there’s something I want to tell you.” Astelle brought up another story.
“Yes?”
“I want to build a pharmacy that researches and educates herbs in the capital city.”
It was something Gretel had long wanted.
Astelle also wanted to repay Gretel in that way.
“His Majesty also allowed it, so please prepare the official procedure.”
‘Herbs?’
Vellian looked carefully at Astelle and bowed politely.
“Alright.”
