Chapter 11 (2/2)

Sasha said, putting gloves on Alyssa’s hand.

“Come back early today. It looks like it’s going to snow heavily.”

“Okay. I’ll be back soon.”

Sasha rolled her arms out after seeing Alyssa nodding her head with twinkling eyes. She pushed away all the maids who were going to serve Alyssa, so only Sasha was in charge of her.

She had to tidy up Alyssa’s bedroom, organize the books and papers she was reading, and finally check the dressing room.

Sasha’s day was just beginning.

How long has it been?

Seidrick, who looked out of the window and looked at the landscape, was impressed.

It seemed that it had been about three months since he returned to the Cambridge mansion. When he went down to the south, he learned of the cheap cigars from the workers and was now strung between Siedrick’s fingers.

“You have no manner in the carriage.”

Pauline murmurs sullenly and opens the window of the carriage towards the cold breeze outside. Soon they will arrive at the Cambridge mansion.

“Hahaha. Sorry, sorry.”

Seidrick, who regained his former self and laughed, pushed the cigar to the floor and threw it into a small trash can.

Seidrick seemed a little bit more grown-up then. Not saying anything about the 24-year-old man. If he were like a boy before, now he felt like an adult who’s really in charge of the family.

The sudden death of Kendrick seemed to have made Seidrick grow.

In the south, Seidrick encouraged the workers and mingled without hesitation between them. He inspected the mine himself and worked day and night.

Thanks to this, the drilling of iron ore was stabilizing without difficulty.  The task this time in the capital was to find a company to supply refined iron. Perhaps because the capital’s commercial district was the most developed, there were many companies.

Thanks to this, Seidrick set foot in the capital after a long time.

But it wasn’t like he could stay long. A week later, he had to go back to the south and find a steel mill that had a furnace that could smelt good quality iron ore. He has a lot of work to do, so he didn’t know when he could sleep with his legs extended properly.
