The 10 Legendary Swords
Economic Progress Vinterm

"Make me the one in charge of the trade?!"

Aiyla pointed to her chest when she heard this offer, Arav had since last 10 minutes tried to persuade this girl to support him in terms of the economy in Vinterm, but it was not as easy as she thought.

"I apologize, how could I suddenly side with someone who is my current enemy?" Aiyla chose to throw her face away.

After the war he had gone through where perhaps he could easily forget all that he had gone through with great difficulty. Arav knew full well the reason Aiyla had rejected her offer was about the losses this girl had experienced before.

Arav scratched his head, he had a lot of resources from within his territory but had enough difficulty to sell them and compete with the rich merchants in the capital. So by asking for the help of Aiyla who is a fairly influential trader will probably be more effective in the ease of penetrating the Antasia market.

"If you're offering someone a deal then all you're supposed to do is tell them the profit first ..." Aiyla took a long breath.

"How much do you want?" Arav replied while frowning.

He knew very well it was quite difficult to make a deal with this girl, let alone one that an expert bargained for like her.

"Give me a position equal to the members of the Nine Roses, after that we only talk about this business, how?"

Arav remained silent for a long time before he nodded slowly, "Where do we start? I hope you don't let me down after this ..."

"You better not underestimate this girl's ability ..."

Some time passed since Aiyla worked for Arav, the position that Aiyla wanted was to be able to take part in making decisions like the other Nine Rose members did without any pressure, she said, also plays a role in Vintetm's finances more precisely as a financial manager.

First of all this got a good response from Arav and some members of the Nine Roses even city officials, only Masket strongly opposes Arav's decision to hire a girl who about a week ago was his enemy.

"This girl may have bad intentions to harm you! Please think again about this ..." The mascet's actions are reasonable given that he is most responsible for Arav's security other than Maya's.

"Who's the girl who just said that to me? Huh uh? Just a bodyguard dares to defy his employer's decision?" Aiyla gave a cold look at Masket, she was famous for being good at talking so that it was difficult for her opponent to talk or argue with her.

"It ... Already ..." Arav let out a long sigh while mediating, "Please stop this quarrel, especially for you, Aiyla don't provoke Maskets ..."

Aiyla gulped down her own saliva, she looked at the Masket who seemed to be showing a triumphant smile towards her.

"That goes for you too Masket ..."

JEDER!

It felt like Masket was struck by lightning hearing those words, making Aiyla laughingly look at him.

"Hmmm ... If it's your wish then I'll accept it but I don't fully trust this girl ..." Masket smiled thinly.

"Wouldn't you try to be a bully between the two of us?" Aiyla showed no less similar reactions.

Arav smiled awkwardly at the behavior of these two girls, "The two of you should cooperate with each other ... I hope that in the future you will not be hostile so that this plan goes smoothly ..."

After speaking, Arav immediately invited Masket to take care of important documents in his office and let Aiyla take care of this trade. Gold collected in the mine along with other precious stones became their main income at this time, besides they also found several new mining locations near the previous mine.

The resources produced are quite large because metals and even materials for the manufacture of armor and swords are available in abundance. This certainly makes Aiyla quite busy maybe for the next few weeks.

Seeing the potential that Vinterm had made several other regions in an uproar over the rise of this small, newly established territory to achieve great progress, plus the leader is someone who is 15 years old obviously raises a variety of questions but Arav does not take heart all this.

Maya met Arav 3 days later, she as usual always reported the results of the development of cases about the Black Rose organization.

"May ... Did you manage to find something in my father's residence?"

"To my knowledge there is no movement of the Black Rose group in the Duke Ariville area, I think they are only targeting Vinterm as their main target ..." Maya as usual shows her respect to Arav.

Besides Vinterm who almost occupied the largest position of the strongest region in economic affairs, The Arivilians were not defeated in showing their progress in the military, which is now overcoming the remnants of the rebels who are still fighting around the border.

"I heard that the five thousand troops who were planning to conduct a small scale enemy war could be overcome well by Duke Ariville, but less than two thousand of them managed to escape when entering the capital area ..."

"Mothers are the most heavily guarded territory, it's impossible if they can get in and out this easily let alone the teacher being there too ..." Arav shook his head, feeling that something was amiss from all of this.

Melida should have been able to help him with the problem of this rebel escape, but seeing her teacher just not acting up to this point made him have to dismiss the thought of getting further involved in the matter, after all, there is still Duke Ariville who will overcome this problem.

"I heard that Garlet is now in a stable condition, is Clare doing her job well?"

Maya sighed, "Since you sent her to the city of Garlet ... He didn't stop urging me to ask you to allow him to come back, Esmee is currently comforting him. And for Miss Caroline .."

Long time no news about this girl makes Arav curious about the development of Caroline after studying at a special academy in the capital.

Maya explains the achievements Caroline has in designing and making a war formation strategy increased rapidly over the past few years.

In addition, he was also proficient in mastering the science of martial arts at a young age, but his physical abilities did not support him to be at the forefront of battle.

"It doesn't seem in vain that I sent him to the capital to study ... In the future I plan to make him the youngest war strategist in the history of Vinterm and even Antasia..." Arav laughed a little at this good news.

The other students even consider Caroline as a genius in their school, but there are those who are not happy about this resulting in Caroline getting various pressures.

"During this time, one of the members of the Nine Roses, Chika had always kept her while in the capital ... I don't think it will be easy for him to get unfair treatment from others ..." Maya confirms.

Arav heard a sound of happy tears nearby, seen Masket who from the beginning just stood next to this young man moved to hear Arav's kindness, "After this ... If you'd like, would you take me to see Caroline?"

"After our task is completed, perhaps we will meet him a few days before the meeting of the five rulers of the region takes place ..." Arav smiled widely, but in his heart Arav felt a strange thing from this meeting to be held in about 2 weeks.
