Chapter 48: Eckhart Beck’s Visit

DESPITE knowing that San Luenne’s royal family would eventually be destroyed by the Empire and Federation’s combined machinations, Bertine saw no real changes to her daily life. She kept her ledgers up to date, accepted orders from her customers, placed her own for the specialty products, and shipped them. So the cycle went.

But her heart was in turmoil. I wonder what steps His Excellency plans to take regarding San Luenne. Bertine herself had been tossed into the maelstrom by the royal family and certainly not of her own accord. Still, she couldn’t help thinking about the situation since she was involved as well. She hoped that someday Cecilio would confide in her everything about his plan.

“Yet there’s nothing I can do about it even though I know now what will happen.”

By using this argument to convince herself, she tried her best not to dwell on the matter. But it wasn’t long before her mind wandered back to it anyway. How exactly do Prince Claudio and Prince Ehrenfried plan to defeat the Luennian royal family? Bertine spent her days in a fog of uncertainty and worry.

The stingers sold well, as usual. Sales of the jarred fruit and seafood products were steady too. According to the letter she received from Delio, Cecilio’s father, many of the locals in the Callisto district were sowing stinger seeds to grow more of the plant. The community there decided to save their profits from the stingers’ sale and purchase a larger boat than the one they were using now.

“A larger boat is much more stable than a smaller one. There’s less risk in it capsizing too. The stingers are doing a great job in protecting our lives,” Delio wrote in his letter. Bertine couldn’t be happier to hear how the venture was making their lives better. She pressed the letter to her chest and closed her eyes.

In addition to all the work already done so far, Bertine decided it was time to meet with Evance again in earnest. He sent her no letters, nothing, which made sense in light of his disdain for writing.

Which was why she reached out to the company that employed interpreters in the Empire. The president responded to her query. She learned that instead of attending school, Evance became an apprentice for a renowned architect. He was currently studying under and living with his mentor.

“I don’t understand. Why didn’t he enroll in the school?”

While reading the letter, she learned the answer to her question. Evance had apparently been refused admission by the architecture school.

“Then he should have contacted me straight away. I could have done something to help him. Honestly, that dolt.”

Aggravated by Evance, whom she considered a thoughtless younger brother, Bertine nevertheless wrote a letter to him and sent it to the architect’s address. The company president had kindly included it in his letter.

“I decided on a location for my hotel in your homeland and have arranged for the former manager of an imperial hotel to assist me.
