Chapter 46: Sophia Philinover (1)

If you’re going to do it, do it right

This was Milton’s resolution as he prepared for the banquet If you think about it, this was the first banquet since Milton became the Head of the Forrest Family It was necessary to hold a banquet if you considered the amount of funds that were recently invested in Forrest Territory

Milton built an annex on the Manor grounds for the banquet and made sure the lobby of the banquet hall was luxuriously decorated He also hired famous musicians and chefs from the Capital at an exorbitant price In an aristocratic society, luxury was sometimes a necessary political expenditure Milton wanted to take this chance and throw the largest banquet ever held in the Southern region and reolden age

On the day of the banquet, the invited guests trickled into Forrest Manor one by one On the surface, the banquet was for those who had invested in the development of the port, but the invitation also had in a small print, ‘fahter, bring them nobles who had awareness would quickly understand what that meant

Milton Forrest was currently the nuion Many nobles brought their daughters with thest thehter to Milton While he e and he felt that his daughter, Flora’s, beauty didn’t lose to the ladies in the CapitalCullever believed that with these qualifications, e was possible However, when he arrived at Forrest Territory, his confidence diminished

“Father, is this truly Forrest Territory?”

His daughter asked while looking around with surprised eyes and Viscount Cullever, just as shocked, replied

“It is indeed I’ve passed by it once in ed a lot since then”

The nobles who had arrived at Forrest Territory were all shocked at the changes It was no longer the Forrest Territory of their memories As the population increased and s were built until eventually, Forrest Territory becah for two carriages to pass side by side was built and with that road as the center, smaller streets were built perpendicularly, with clearly distinct residential and co the streets like a maze would be a security concern, Milton had spent a lot of time on the placement of the roads

“The road is clean and very nicely paved And all the residents are neatly dressed”

“Oh, Father! There’s a shop that specializes in accessories I only saw the store in the Capital…could we please drop by?”

Looking at his pleading daughter anted to go shopping, Viscount Culleverhis mind

“We still have soht Coht it’d be better if Count Forrest saw his daughter beautifully adorned

“Truly Father?”

At her father’s perhter’s face blossoive you soo back to our rooo, but I’ll be back soon”

“Yes Thank you, Father!”

After dropping his daughter off at the shop, he directed his coachman to take him so developed”

“Yes, My Lord”

While it wasn’t a large amount, Viscount Cullever had invested in Forrest Territory’s port develop how the Forrest Territory had developed, he was now curious about the port and wanted to see it with his own eyes Although it took a while to get to the port, once he saw it, Viscount Cullever was aed port”

When Viscount Cullever had seen the blueprints for the port, he had thought it was quite large He also believed that once it was developed, the location of it would be great for co it with his own eyes, he felt it was even better than what he had ih for multiple shi+ps to enter And if the city under construction back there is used as a co Viscount Cullever greatly ad port

‘Once this port is completed, without a doubt, it will becoion Then Count Forrest’s benefits would be…’

Just thinking about it was dizzying Viscount Cullever saw others who had thought similarly to him

“Oh, isn’t it Viscount Cullever?”

“Can’t be, Viscount Carbon? Viscount Ra here?”

“Hahaha… Aren’t we all investors of this port? Since we caht to come and see it for ourselves”

“Is that so I too came for that exact reason The location of the port isn’t all that bad”

All the nobles gathered here acted dignified with each other, but they were all thinking the sa They had all been surprised at the development of Forrest Territory and wanted to see how the port they had invested in was coht

‘Is Forrest Territory becoion?’

‘If the Southern Region changes, then at the forefront will be Count Forrest’

They were the Southern nobles who had been subtly discriainst by the Capital But that wasn’t because the Southern Region was bad, but because the Southern nobles had never united as one The Capital nobles treated them as country bumpkins who only kne to farm in the South However, about 40 percent of the food production in Lester Kingdom came from the South The South had st them and with no one to lead them, they could only do as the Capital ordered It’s not that the Southern nobles didn’t know their proble about it But recently, the House of Forrest was getting stronger and was bringing the Southern nobles together economically It was the focal point thatfor for athered here all thought the saes for those standing in the front of the line than for those standing in the back’

‘If we’re going to be connected, it would be better to be connected by blood’

‘My daughter’s looks won’t lose to anyone Personality… can always be fixed’

These nobles felt it would be best to have an intimate relationshi+p with the House of Forrest The nobles who had daughters all felt that Milton went from the number 1 bachelor to the only bachelor they wanted to have as their son-in-law

On the day of the banquet, all the invited nobles gathered at the banquet hall Milton had given the chefs so that the new dishes be served at the banquet He had given them recipes for macarons and cheesecakes that the ladies would like, and a chicken recipe that all Koreans love Since Milton wasn’t a professional chef in his previous life and his only knowledge consisted of what he had heard and read before, he wasn’t able to answer all the questions the chefs had But even so, soh quality

“Ohh… This fried chicken is quite areasy tastes of it very well”
