Not the Novel World
17. Angrier

Seint looked puzzledly at Lilian, what he had in mind now was how Lilian could know of a plant that even others did not know.

He smoothly explained the process and benefits of the plant, which made Seint even more astonished was that the girl was reported to have lost her memory, he did not remember anyone even his parents and older brother did not he remember, but strangely the girl smoothly explained the plant that everyone thought had no selling point.

Indeed, before the girl's behavior always attracted her attention, the girl deliberately hid her talent in everyone and acted contrary to her true nature. Seint would even be fooled by the girl if she did not see the girl's talent in person by accident.

Every afternoon Seint always saw the girl was practicing archery accompanied by her servant near the suburban forest. The girl had even secretly learned war strategies near the lake end of the city.

One day Seint is caught off guard by the girl as she watches the girl train and ends up as everyone knows, the girl follows her wherever she goes. Everyone thought that the girl was crazy about him, but the truth was that wherever Seint was, she always gave threatening signs if Seint dared to divulge to people about her talent.

Therefore Seint did not feel disturbed at all by the presence of the girl nearby, because the girl was near him just making sure Seint did not open his mouth about the talent he had.

Until one day the girl was reported to have an accident that made the girl remember nothing. Seint was eager to visit the girl but he had no good reason to see her up close, all he could do was pretend to pass in front of the girl's residence as long as the girl was in the care.

One day when he and Artem were wanting to pass through the girl's residence, suddenly the girl with the maid who always accompanied her out of her residence, she said, they looked like they were debating something until finally the girl walked cheerfully towards the direction of the market.

Seint followed the girl from behind even though he had to hear the nonsense Artem always pointed at him. Until Seint saw the girl stop at the sugar candy seller, his face looked very happy when he received three sugar sweets from the seller and gave one to his servant.

When Seint wanted to follow the girl back, Artem suddenly pulled her and said that the royal warrior had seen her and was now chasing them. Seint ran around the market streets to trick the soldiers into no longer chasing after him with Artem, as he ran away from the soldiers, he accidentally hit someone because he was too focused on looking back.

He fell silent when he realized that the girl he hit was the girl he had been following, the sharp look of the girl was directed at him, the girl even snapped at him because the sugar sweets he was holding fell to the ground.

As Seint was coolly recalling his encounter with Lilian, he was struck with a punch on his arm.

"Why are you staring at me like that." Lilian said after hitting Seint's arm.

"What-like?" Seint.

"Like this." Lilian displayed an expression just like Seint had shown earlier.

Seint restrained her lips so as not to smile at Lilian's behavior. "Ohh just curious." Said later.

"Any wonder about what?" Ask Lilian.

"About how you know about all this." Seint.

"Good God you said seven words, that's the longest I've ever heard of you." Lilian.

"Jawab only!" Sein said annoyedly.

"Where do I know, I don't remember it, maybe it's one of the memories I had before I lost it, seeing the plant I became like I knew in detail about the plant." Said Lilian origin, Lilian's answer was not entirely lying because indeed Lilian knew the plant from memory in her old world.

"Totally so." Inner Seint.

Suddenly Artem came carrying a large basket of coffee fruit that he had harvested with the workers who worked on the Seint plantation.

"Lillian is this enough?" Artem asked while pointing at the basket.

Lilian nodded for a moment. "Quite, this coffee fruit I will take home to my residence to be sunbaked there, because tomorrow I have to go home to check other ingredients for the festival later, looks like you have to stay here at least until tomorrow, you have to determine first how many workers to work here, he said, direct the workers to pick the red coffee and immediately send these fruits to the city, I will wait for you there, until you are done with the business here, I'm not going to start the coffee bean separation process without you guys because you also have to see for yourself the process from the beginning." Lilian.

"Are you leaving in the morning?" Ask Artem.

"Yes.because there will be a lot of preparation that I have to do there, because this is a festival that will be attended by many people I decided that our coffee will be included in the race, I will participate in the competition, there besides I will introduce our chocolate and shop decoration, I will introduce our coffee as an early promotion. Until we no longer need to bother gathering a lot of people for promotion, there later let them see and try it." Lilian.

"That's a good idea, Lilian, I think you're very good at trading." Artem said with a smile.

Lilian simply smiled in response to a remark from Artem. "Of course I was an expert, in my previous world, my mother had a bakery that was quite large and liked by many people no wonder I understood so much about shops, promotions and more." Inner Lilian.

"It looks like I have to get back to my inn before it gets dark, my body feels sticky and sore all over." Lilian.

"Then go and rest." Seint.

"Tumben is a good man" Lilian said, "then I say yes." Lilian.

"Do we need to take you ?" Artem.

"No need, Brother Zheyan already told Uncle Wilson to come here to pick me up." Lilian.

"Good." Seint.

"What the hell is this guy, just now he's being nice is back flat." Inner Lilian.

"Then I'll see you in town." Said Lilian and walked away.

"What I just feel like, Lilian feels different and more and more beautiful." Artem.

Seint stared intently at Artem and walked away leaving Artem alone.

"Mistake wrong again." Artem said as he patted his head many times.

°°°

After all Lilian had finished preparing, Zheyan and Asgar left for the capital. After a long journey they reached the capital at noon.

Upon reaching the gate of the residence, they were greeted by several soldiers who were on guard and one of the soldiers came to pay their respects.

"Sincerely, Mr and Young Miss, the great sir told me to let you know that Mr and Miss have arrived to see the great Master in his study." Said the soldier.

"Alright, drop our luggage and bring the fruit basket to where the fruit basket I previously sent." Zheyan.

After giving orders to the soldier, Zheyan and Lilian walked towards his father's room.

After entering the door of the room, they looked down respectfully at the back of his father.

"Sincerely Father, we have returned from the estate safely without any lack". Zheyan.

Duke Marven turned around and looked at his two children who were still looking down.

"Sit down!" Duke Marven.

Zheyan and Lilian straightened up and sat down on one of the chairs in the room.

Looking at his two children who were already seated, Duke Marven walked over to sit in front of his two children. Before asking, he looked closely at his two children.

"Two days ago I got some letters from you Zheyan, now explain to me what the letter means!" Duke Marven.

Zheyan looked at Lilian for a moment and looked back at her Father, "Look at Dad, Dad, as Zheyan had written in the letter that the plantation land that we will make the herbal plant is not so we use it for herbal plants." Zheyan.

"Why?" Duke Marven said coldly.

"Because the land is overgrown by cacao trees, all this time we thought the tree was useless but when we visited the place who would have thought it turns out Lilian recognized the tree and she knew how to process the fruit from the tree." Zheyan.

Duke Marven raised his eyebrows and looked towards Lilian. " Can you explain to Dad how you can recognize that tree and even know how it's processed ?" Duke Marven.

Lilian gulped her own saliva when she saw the cold gaze of her father. "Honestly, Dad, I don't know, but when I saw the tree, at first glance, a memory popped into my head about the tree." Said Lilian nervously.

Duke Marven stared intently at Zheyan, "How can you make a decision that remains questionable?" Duke Marven then looked at Lilian. "Lilian doesn't even remember the way home from the market, how can you make a decision just because you hear an opinion from your brother that is not necessarily the truth" Duke Marven said.

Zheyan was silent and could not answer his father's questions. True what his father said but saw Lilian's expression on the plantation made Zheyan sure that his sister did know about the tree.

"Why do you just shut up Zheyan? I know you won't be able to refuse your sister's request, but you also know that the tree is useless in this kingdom." Duke Marven's words are rising.

"No, the treefather is very useful and will bring benefits to our family." Lilian said in a bold manner.

"How can you be so sure? You don't even remember anything right and the tree has been declared by plant experts if the tree is useless." Duke Marven.

"Then I'll prove the plant experts wrong." Said Lilian firmly.

"What way do you prove it?" Ask Duke Marven.

"Give us a chance to cultivate the fruit of that tree." Lilian.

"A chance?" Duke Marven.

"Yes Dad.we have agreed that we will process the fruit into one of the ingredients of making food and drinks that we will reshuffle in the festival." Lilian.

Duke Marven pinched his forehead. "You're going to race that fruit at the festival?" Ask Duke Marven.

"Yes Dad, we've also been working with the Baron family." Lilian.

"CHAYAN..." Duke Marven said in frustration.

"Give us a chance, Dad." Zheyan said and immediately knelt down in front of his father and was followed by Lilian.

Duke Marven exhaled heavily. "Wake up, I'll give you a chance but remember that race is one of the great festivals in the kingdom so don't embarrass Dad, especially if you've already established cooperation with the Baron family." Duke Marven.

"Good Dad." Zheyan and Lilian said.

After that Zheyan and Lilian stood up, before they said goodbye to come out, Zheyan only remembered something and then he took something out of his pocket and gave it to his father.

His father's eyes widened to see the insignia of the crown prince in his hands now. He then asked for an explanation from his two children.

"I.i.that Lilian's father again found a tree that was considered useless in the Crown Prince's estate but...." Zheyan stopped seeing his father's angry face.

"HOWEVER?" This time Duke Marven's voice was completely thunderous, people from outside the room could even hear his voice.

Lilian's body trembled then spontaneously hid and hugged Zheyan from behind.
