Chapter 155: A Visit to the Count
Resolving the problems in Safiro took several days longer than in Prudencia. It was so much faster than Arabella formerly thought though.
Still, her preparation time for the division of work between her assistants was lessened due to it so she was behind her schedule. She would have to work at night as well to sort out the work for her assistants.
However, it was all worth it since both Prudencia and Safiro were finally out of dire straits. As long as they were managed properly, the two territories would recover over time.
Arabella had been busy in Safiro the whole week but she still had a lot to do.
The day after the execution in Arno, Arabella visited Cordelia with Ferdinand to thank the Count for taking in people from Safiro and for helping out with cooked meals.
It was also a chance to tour around the Countdom since Arabella didn’t get to look around the last time she visited with Raymond.
Ivan was also there waiting for them. After his work was done in Arno, Ivan was teleported to Cordelia to reunite with his family as a reward for his hard work.
After all, Duke Arno even borrowed him for a few days to ensure that all the goods sent to Safiro were of satisfactory quality to Arabella or to the Imperial Palace’s standard.
Since he was already punished by Ferdinand, Duke Arno didn’t want to get punished by Arabella as well.
Thus, the Duke was trying to curry Arabella’s favor by treating Ivan well and trying to show that he was very much willing to help Safiro recover.
Duke Arno didn’t know Ivan just began working for her recently so he didn’t know much about Arabella yet.
