I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 7 Moving
previous story:
Eva contacts Duke through a crystal ball and they talk about a lot of things. Including the cancellation of the engagement. Then talk about other things too.
It turned out that there was a specific reason why the Duke had returned to the main mansion and tied the cooperation with the Magic Tower. It was all because her relationship and the King were deteriorating.
***
Eva had no idea what was going on between the King and Duke. He only heard the issue of the engagement cancellation. He never knew that the relationship between the two was deteriorating and now the Duke wanted to make a cooperative relationship with the Magic Tower.
After the conversation was over, he closed his eyes and slept comfortably.
The next day, after finishing breakfast I went to see Vivian. I looked for her in the dorm but the girl wasn't there. I searched for him in the capital.
Vivian once told me that she bought a new building that she used as an office for her work. After all, the robot sales business is getting bigger and wider. Plus his restaurant business. He also opened several shops. So he decided to add some manpower that helped him take care of the administration and also opened a new office.
This is the first time I've seen an office building in the world. The outer appearance of this building was the same as the multi-storey building in the capital. There is no special sign that distinguishes this building from other buildings.
When you go inside, the atmosphere is very different. The hall room is very spacious on the first floor with one receptionist there.
"Welcome" The female receptionist said with a friendly smile. There are no special rules for office uniforms. They wear makeshift clothes. And this woman was wearing an ordinary dress like any other woman in the capital.
"Is Vivian there?"
"Miss Vivian is on the second floor" he said. It seemed that he recognized Eva and immediately allowed her to enter. Vivian teaches her employees very well. Especially to recognize the faces of important people and be friendly to them.
I headed straight to the second floor. There I could see a long hallway with each room on its side. I don't know what rooms are.
It just so happened that two other employees came out of one of the rooms and we passed by. I asked where Vivian's room was and they answered easily. They even smiled kindly like they knew me very closely. I don't know them very well. Vivian may have given my identity to them that's why they're so friendly.
Vivian's room is at the end of the hall. The room had a glass wall on its left side so I could see the tables and chairs inside.
The moment I entered, Vivian who was focused on the documents in front of her immediately turned her head towards me with eyes twitching in shock.
"You didn't say you wanted to come here?" vivian was confused.
"Em surprise!" I said happy. But I was instantly speechless as I felt Vivian not welcoming my arrival at all.
He now had a confused and doubtful face. She tried to smile which made her look even more terrifying.
"Is there a problem?" i asked.
Haa~ Vivian sighed.
"I wish I could keep it a secret from you. But it didn't" Vivian said later.
I frowned at me. "What's going on?"
"There's been a lot of trouble lately." Vivian said sadly. "I don't know why this happened. Though previously the kingdom is very friendly with this robot business. But suddenly they asked for property rights" Vivian resigned.
"Why could it happen? They were very friendly before?" I muttered confusedly.
Vivian shook her head. "I don't know. A few days ago the palace envoy suddenly came and asked for the ownership rights of the shop. They say that we have to hand it over or they will forbid us to open a shop in the capital."
I blinked in disbelief. I told Denis before that this isn't mine, right? I didn't invent those robots. And Denis accepted it with pleasure. Even though I'm sure this matter isn't related to Denis, still he should know isn't it ?
"I'll talk to Denis. Everything was fine before. Why is it like this? Why are these people greedy?" I said angry.
"No, no. Your Majesty has no problem with this." Vivian quickly stopped me. "I'm sure it's the nobles' wish. They see that this business is expanding all over the world. So they wanted it" Vivian said sadly.
Hearing his words, I caught a fact. "What royal envoy is Marquis Zent?"
Vivian's face immediately paled and she gave a small nod.
"So this is really the decision of the nobles of the royal faction! Although Denis was not involved, the King was still involved. Because that person made the final decision. Marquis Zent dared to do all that as well because the king agreed to it!" I said pissed.
"...."
Vivian did not answer. He just lowered his head.
"So what else do they want? Are they really going to forbid us from setting up shop here?" I asked again.
Vivian nodded. "Over in this country. They gave us a week to think. They say we have nothing to lose even if they take ownership. The profit will be divided by 50%. They also say it is our duty as people to help the government develop better" he continued.
What the fuck! They're really sneaky. Even though I was born in this kingdom since when I wanted to give up everything for the government. Maybe it's okay if it's really my business. But everything from the beginning was Ren's and I was just marketing it because I wanted to make money.
"I can't give up her property" I said resignedly. "If they're going to kick us out, shut them down. I'll find another alternative to the place" I said later.
There's no way I'm stopping the sale just because the Well empire is against us selling. I really didn't expect that this would happen. Didn't Denis even come here alone to cooperate? How could they suddenly think of such an ugly initiative?
"What about Denis? Does he know all this?"
Vivian shakes. "Don't know. But I'm sure your highness doesn't know this news because he's not in the capital right now"
"Sission again?"
"Yes"
"so thats. Denis might really not be involved."
Now I have to decide on a new place to open the store. I thought of the Dark Elf Kingdom as the first choice. But come to think of it as impossible. The elf village was very closed. Those traders could not enter and exit freely. Although Ren helped me to come up with a new policy, the other elves would not agree. I'm gonna trouble Ren for this.
The second alternative is the Kano kingdom. But I'm not sure. I need to talk about this first with Sayn. Moreover, Sayn's power in the Kano kingdom was not very influential. I'm afraid the same thing will happen again. King Kano wants to ask for property rights.
The third alternative is the Magic Tower. But the Magic Tower is not a kingdom, it is an organization. And the place was very closed, just like the elf village. They only allow their members to enter the oak inside.
I'm really dizzy now. I need to find a suitable place. If only online stores existed in this day and age....
