Chapter 116

Listening to her cautious phrases, Zachary nodded with a critical face as he opened his mouth calmly.

“If oyster farming is absolutely potential, it could be of nice assist.”

“Actually? Do you actually suppose so?”

As Iellie requested with twinkling eyes, he glanced away earlier than his low voice resounded once more.

“By the way in which…”

“Huh?”

“How have you learnt that?”

His voice carried a touch of restraint. Iellie gazed at Zachary, feeling puzzled by his demeanor as he gently bit his lip, an indication of inside turmoil. A faint unease had been nagging at him, inflicting a faint sense of discomfort tickling the nape of his neck.

“Most individuals don’t consider concepts that properly.”

“Zachary?”

“Typically you seem like somebody from one other world.”

For a short second, Iellie discovered herself perplexed.

He silently met her gaze, his eyes crammed with an unstated message. Immediately, a reminiscence from their go to to Florente Island resurfaced in his thoughts—the picture of her slender determine, gazing up on the evening sky. It felt as if it might vanish at any given second.

“That’s proper… since you consider issues that nobody else can consider with out hesitation.”

As he clenched the fist of his left hand that was resting on his lap, his respiration turned barely unstable as he continued.

“Len, it’s okay for those who don’t say something you don’t wish to say. However…”

Zachary calmly put the fork down.

Click on.

The sound of the fork and bowl colliding is exceptionally clear.

“…Each time I come throughout one thing I don’t find out about you, it appears like I’m transferring away from you.”

“….”

“I’m sort of afraid of that.”

Iellie remained silent, her ideas swirling inside her whereas Zachary’s gaze bore into her, crammed with anticipation.

She took a breath.

There have been sure issues she had saved hidden from him, comparable to the truth that she was reincarnated on this world.

Nevertheless…

“Zachary, I can promise you this one factor.”

“What?”

“I’ll by no means go away you.”

When Iellie uttered in a agency voice, Zachary seemed shocked earlier than he chuckled.

“I need this duchy to prosper, and I need us to stay fortunately collectively.”

“Len.”

“I’m your spouse, mistress of the North and Duchess Hessenweiz.”

With a composed demeanor, she positioned her hand neatly on her lap, her voice resolute and unwavering.

“Now that I’m the Mistress of the North, I simply needed to do every part to one of the best of my means.”

He held his breath. She all the time stated what he needed to listen to.

His blue eyes trembled barely.

“I don’t know what precisely you’re nervous about.”

As she spoke, a faint pang of guilt tugged at Iellie’s coronary heart. Observing her habits, Zachary should have sensed one thing amiss. It felt as if she was deliberately disregarding his discomfort, and that realization weighed closely on her conscience.

“I’ll all the time be by your facet.”

“…Thanks.”

Solely then did Zachary placed on a barely relieved face. Iellie checked out him and smiled awkwardly.

‘And after some time… then.’

She has a secret.

It was a reminiscence from a earlier life that now felt like an outdated dream. It was a narrative nobody would imagine, however nonetheless… wouldn’t the day come when she might inform him that story, too?

‘Actually, I too.’

Iellie seemed bitter.

How you can clarify the eager for a previous life that felt distant, and find out how to persuade Zachary. On the thought that she simply needed to stay with the given current, she swallowed her breath.

‘It’s irritating’.

An outdated secret that couldn’t be revealed even to the particular person she cherished essentially the most.

Iellie bit her lip.

If she realized one thing whereas engaged on this venture, the idea of aquaculture farming was truly not a quite common idea within the Empire. The fishing business itself was affluent, however in actuality, they didn’t even consider elevating fish or shellfish.

Deciding to fulfill and discuss to the fishermen in particular person, Iellie narrowed her eyes.

‘Truly, that’s comprehensible.’

Rising one thing was restricted to animals and crops. It have to be as a result of the tactic was harder than agriculture or livestock farming. In comparison with different thriving industries, this was why the fishing business was comparatively underdeveloped.

“Does the Duchess want to fulfill the fishermen in particular person?”

Even different individuals had been like that. However Iellie pushed via her personal concept that she ought to take heed to the opinions of individuals within the discipline essentially the most. The Duke additionally agreed along with his spouse’s opinion.

“It’s the primary time I see you all. I’m Iellie Hessenweitz.”

So, Iellie went on to the fishermen.

The fishermen had been stunned at first that the Ducal couple who dominated the huge north got here to fulfill them, and the second time they had been stunned on the Ducal couple’s easy-going perspective.

“Maybe you heard in regards to the purpose we got here at this time via different directors.”

She was an individual with a really pragmatic view that if that they had expertise, they need to be actively utilized. Due to this fact, the sensible administrative issues had been defined prematurely by dispatching administrative officers. Iellie stated.

“As we speak, I got here as a result of I needed to listen to the overall opinion of fishermen on the aquaculture enterprise.”

Despite the fact that it was fairly shocking that the Duchess confirmed respect to the mere fishermen, she didn’t thoughts. These weren’t the individuals she directed, however the residents who supported the North.

‘The nobles themselves can’t exist with out residents.’

She principally had the concept individuals within the North must be revered as a lot as potential. She doesn’t must suppose onerous. Didn’t the noble have accountability and authority after delegating rights to the residents?

‘Moreover, it’s not a direct employment relationship or a vassal relationship.’

Nevertheless, it was true that her habits was considerably uncommon, contemplating the habits of different nobles as an entire, and it was inevitable that the fishermen had been nervous due to it.

Iellie laughed out loud.

“I feel everyone seems to be a little bit nervous, you don’t must.”

“No, that’s…”

“I need you guys to be happy to inform me something.”

She uttered warmly. The Duchess didn’t hesitate to speak with the fishermen from the starting stage, and the Duke took a step again as if he didn’t wish to intrude with the Duchess’ affairs.

“Zachary, do you’ve gotten one thing to say?”

“Nothing. You are able to do no matter you need.”

The Duke was merely demonstrating infinite belief in his spouse, and that sort of belief by the duke naturally turned a consider making others belief the duchess as properly.

Iellie nodded her head.

“In case you inform me something with out hesitation, I’ll pay attention rigorously.”

At the same time as she spoke in her candy voice, the fishermen’s eyes had been critical as they checked out her. Is it okay to speak to such a valuable particular person? One of many fishermen rigorously opened her mouth.

“Excuse me, Duchess.”

“Sure, go forward.”

“Thanks very a lot for supporting the aquaculture enterprise. I owe you a terrific favor.”

The pretty younger fisherman hesitantly opened his mouth. Zachary furrowed his eyebrows subtly. Realizing that he didn’t like the thought of one other man speaking to Iellie, she glanced at her husband.

‘Zachary, don’t intrude and keep nonetheless.’

Seeing her piercing eyes, he closed his mouth with a sullen face. The fisherman stated cautiously.

“The enterprise has been deliberate prematurely by the Duchess, so it’s continuing safely.”

“Is that so? Thank God.”

Iellie sighed in reduction.

In truth, the thought she supplied was easy. Threading scallops or oyster shells on wire and sending them all the way down to the ocean. On this approach, oyster larvae are collected, and farming begins. Competent directors within the north cooperated with the fishermen and proceeded with the venture step-by-step.

“By the way in which, could I ask you a favor…”

“A favor? Sure, inform me something.”

Her demeanor was nonetheless form. The fishermen appeared to hesitate for a second, after which he stated as if he had made up his thoughts.

“We are able to perform the aquaculture enterprise on our personal, however it’s troublesome to interrupt via the gross sales shops.”

“Hmm, talking of gross sales…”

“Isn’t it of no use simply by having a product?”

It was a slightly difficult assertion. With these phrases, not solely Iellie but in addition all of the individuals gathered on the desk turned agitated.

“We’ve to promote it as a result of the North is legendary for issues like fur, however the fishing business is small.”
