It's been two years since the extermination of the bandits. I'm glad that the days went peacefully and quietly. The path in Randall's territory was already safe from the threat of bandits. A few days after the extermination, idiot Geitz and Albert Nii-san returned to the capital to continue their studies.
The extermination of the bandits two years ago was Albert Nii-san's stage. after all, he prepared a strategy for the bandits and even managed to kill their leader. So it's only natural that father gave Albert Nii-san an award. The soldiers also adored him for his outstanding magical talent. Yeah, as expected. Of Maya okaa-san's flesh and blood.
We also found the spatial bag they used to hold their loot. So we use the bag to take out the merchant's merchandise and return it to them. Their views of Marquis Randall finally improved.
My father also went to the capital to meet the king. He returned a national treasure that somehow fell into the hands of bandits. Many rumours circulated about it, but the truth about this was never revealed. At least not yet.
In retaliation for Father's actions, the king gave the right to administer the territory of Baron Sinovac, namely the city of Chevron. This Sinovac region has been integrated with the Randall region. This brings many advantages. But the biggest advantage was that the Randall region had complete control over the food supplies shipped from Sinovac. in this way, 70 per cent of the food supply can be managed independently, and concerns over the food crisis in the Randall area will also be reduced.
While during these two years, I continued to train with my two brothers and Marquis Randall's knights. Even so, my brother only trained with the knights for one year because they had already left for the capital to study the academy the next year.
Hehe, I'm a bit lonely. They seemed lonely too, so we promised to exchange letters. And now, I must send letters to three people. Lili-chan and my two sisters. hahhh, I really want to go to the capital and meet my sister and Lili-chan.
As for finances, I continue to sell and auction off my bounty through the guild. I still have a pile of rewards from the dungeon. Not to mention the various materials I took from the monsters. So I'm not at all worried about the real money. But maybe because in my previous life I didn't get to enjoy wealth, I became a little obsessed with money. But not too much.
Even if I have a lot of money, I won't let them settle for sure. I decided to build various business networks such as restaurants, baths, inns, etc.
Well, so far, I just opened the service industry. Maybe later I will also try to produce something.
All the built businesses came down to a guild that I founded independently. La-Sa Guild. This guild is registered under my name. Of course, the father who knows that the La-Sa guild dominates his territory is mine. Even he was in shock.
But yes, my father lets me do as I please as long as it doesn't harm Marquis Randall. after all, my business activities benefit my father. Dad also knows that I don't like being flashy, so he decided to keep this a secret from all my moms and sisters. Thank you, dad! Ah yes, I took this name from one of my two lovers on earth. How I'm romantic, right?
Besides building a Guild and a few other businesses, I also built several orphanages in Romeon and Chevron cities. Indeed something called an orphanage already exists in this world. Usually, orphanages are managed by the temple authorities. But there are not many. Its size is not large and cannot accommodate many neglected children.
Based on my observations and the information provided by the spies scattered throughout the Randall territory, there are at least hundreds of children aged 6-10 years who are abandoned and have nowhere to live. They are usually located in slum suburban areas.
Often they become targets of child abduction and end up being sold into slavery. Yup, like isekai in the anime I watch and the LN I read, slavery is legal in this world.
Kidnapped and made into enslaved people, but abandoned children are often recruited by criminal groups and forced to commit theft and robbery. Some were even forced to beg, and the group took the money. Tsk, if I run into bastards like that, I swear to kill them on the spot!!
Well, maybe I'm too sentimental about children. My past while living on earth also affected me. But I don't care. It cannot be denied that there is an intention to use them as a long-term investment by teaching them to read, write, and count. Who knows, they could be recruited as employees in my company in the future.
But apart from that, they deserve to live happily. They deserve to have a good education and a bright future. So that someday, they can face this abominable world without having to bow their heads and lick its filthy soil.

Right now, I'm in my father's study. I don't know the problem, dad hastily called me. is there something? Could there be something wrong with Chevron's city expansion project?
A few months ago, through the La-Sa Guild, I proposed a proposal regarding the widening of the city of Chevron. After explaining how much profit can be achieved if the city is widened, my father agrees.
This project is finally running. More than 1000 people are employed in this project. More than 300 stone and wood artisans and various food stalls were opened there. Make Chevron's economy more vibrant and dynamic.
It is planned that the vacant land will be built in a rather modern market district when the project is completed. My guild and I's research and development team have prepared the market blueprint.
Wow, if there's a problem, -it will be serious. I hope it's not too heavy. While there was a little tension inside me, dad finally came into his office. He immediately approached me and said, "Miss Lilianne Balzaac's birthday party will be held in two weeks. we will leave for the capital in three days. So be prepared."
Of course, when I heard that, I immediately slapped my forehead. How could I forget Lili-chan's birthday when she already told me in her letter?!
Yosh, it's decided! Today I will make the best gift for her. I hope he likes my gift. After all, I miss my two brothers. At the same time, I might find a new business ground in the capital!
My capital is coming!!
