Chapter 44.2
In the first place, only a swordmaster could recognize the aura of the magic stones. Even the wizards wouldn’t know for sure. In addition, the device used to discover the magic stones was also a massive piece of equipment. So, there was no way he could’ve noticed.
“I know this is no ordinary matter.”
It seemed that Zello had come prepared with some calculations in mind.
“The leader of the Hyllan Merchant Association plans to develop it for personal use. So it’s a necessary part of the project, and they’ll offer a generous price.”
He didn’t waver despite Leilia’s words. Eventually, as he continued to resist selling the land, she used her last resort.
“It seems like you’re worried that we’re trying to buy land that could become very valuable at a low price, right? However, if you don’t sell the land, it can’t be developed. In that case, it will still remain undervalued.”
She was right.
Zello pondered for a moment.
“Let’s do this.”
She set conditions for him.
“I’ll give you 10% of the profits from the land in exchange for selling it.”
It was an unprecedented offer. Zello’s eyes widened at the unprecedented condition. After calculating it in his mind, he nodded in agreement.
“Very well.”
When he gave his approval, Leilia smiled.
Giving up 10% of the profits for the magic stones.
It wasn’t a bad deal.
Zello handed over the land documents, and Leilia provided the contract. After carefully reviewing the clause about receiving 10% of the profits, he nodded in satisfaction.
“May I participate in the development?”
It seemed he was considering the potential profits and expressed his desire to participate in the project.
“That will require further discussion.”
“Please let me know after you’ve discussed it.”
Leilia contacted Lucis to discuss the matter. Meanwhile, Cassel was naturally by her side.

Summer was coming to an end. The scent of autumn seemed to linger in the air, and cool breezes blew in the evenings. Cassel and Leilia, who had come to this territory in the summer and dedicated themselves to constructing the warp until autumn, finally saw the result of their efforts.
At last, the warp was completed.
By gathering top experts and negotiating closely with the Wizards Association, they were able to build the warp in a short period of time.
“Are you holding a celebratory banquet?”
As Leilia asked Cassel, he nodded and replied to her.
“We’ve never held a banquet since coming here, and some of our subordinates have been insisting that it’s time to hold one.”
He was right. They hadn’t held a single banquet since arriving, and even though she had met the vassals before, it was still rare for her to see them all together in one place.
“It’s definitely time for that.”
It was now autumn. With the busy season approaching, they had to hold the banquet now or not at all. Furthermore, with the warp completed, it was the perfect occasion to hold a commemorative feast.
“Then, I’ll prepare the banquet.”
Before she could speak, Cassel spoke up first.
“Don’t make it too extravagant.”
“Hmm.”
Leilia hesitated. It was because she was thinking of using the influence of the leader of the Hyllan Association.
“Let’s just use what we have. Isn’t it unnecessary to sponsor something like this?”
“That’s true, but…”
Despite that, she held his cheek firmly.
“I don’t want my husband to look shabby.”
“Well, then.”
“We’re going to hold it on a grand scale.”
Leilia grinned brightly.
It seemed that this banquet would be anything but ordinary.

As Lucis looked over the items, he glanced at the list that Leilia had written down as needed and snapped his fingers.
“Are you planning to hold a banquet?”
“And?”
“Such a scale.”
Lucis furrowed his brow.
“Your Highness Cassel, look at this.”
Then, he showed the budget proposal that Leilia had prepared to Cassel, who was also at their meeting again today.
“Mm.”
Cassel looked at Leilia wordlessly. She was smiling brightly.
His face flushed slightly.
“Let’s go with this.”
Lucis ruffled his hair in frustration.
“No, I meant for you to stop her!”
“But my wife wants it.”
Cassel responded as he glanced at Leilia. It seemed that if this was what she wanted, he genuinely wanted to fulfill her wishes.
“Lucis, this is the first banquet Cassel is hosting since coming to the castle. We can’t be frugal!”
“That’s true, but it’s rare to even prepare fireworks made with magic. Without a wizard, they can’t even be set off!”
“But Cassel can do it.”
Lucis fell silent at her words.
There was a wizard here.
“Oh, I forgot that His Highness Cassel is also very knowledgeable in magic.”
“Do you think I would do it without a plan?”
Nevertheless, it was still a little excessive.
“Let’s make sure to get the fruit from the Hyllan Association.”
“Of course.”
“Madam Leilia, why not reveal your true identity?”
In the end, Lucis spoke up.
“Not yet.”
Leilia shook her head.
