Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 357 The Frost Family's Gains



"About that, a few weeks ago, Otto was visited by two youths from the Morning Star Academy. After that, the other morning, he left the city, saying he would pursue his life elsewhere." This housewife commented to Suse, showing in her expression her doubts at the time this happened.

But she, nor others who knew of the occurrence, had judged him for leaving this place without checking Suse\'s condition. After all, everyone had already figured that she had died, so it was better for him to move on.

However, with this woman right in front of her, this housewife could not help but feel bad for this mismatch of fate. \'He looked for you for months, but when you finally returned, he had already moved on...\'

\'Sigh!\'

\'What a cruel life...\'

As this housewife innocent of Suse\'s actions lamented, this redheaded woman had a strange expression, feeling a bit of anger and doubt.

\'How could he have left? Was he not after me? How can he abandon the mother of his children and just leave like that?\' She thought about it with her twisted mindset.

But after silently thinking several negative things about her useless husband, who did not serve to satisfy her and was also this disappointment, she decided to put things aside. She had her own stories and had no other option at the moment. So \'tolerating\' this was something temporarily acceptable...

"Marita, I understand. He thought I was gone for good, maybe even dead. It\'s my fault." She commented in a tone that made her sound like a sorry-good girl. "Anyway, I need to find my family. All I want is for things to return to normal, even if he left like that."

"Hmmm, I understand you." That woman nodded but had an apologetic expression on her face. "Unfortunately, when other neighbors and I asked where he was going, he didn\'t tell us."

"He only commented that he would let fate choose his new home and that he just hoped he could raise his children in peace."

Suse clenched her fists as she heard this, feeling her chance to return to a good life as a housewife slipping away from her.

"You said he talked to students of the academy before he left. I wonder if that has any bearing on this unexpected change?" She managed to think about it in the few seconds she had after hearing the answer from that woman.

"Maybe. But I have no way of knowing for sure."

Suse said. "It doesn\'t matter. Can you at least tell me what they looked like?"

Hearing this, this housewife smiled. "Of course! That young man was so handsome. I honestly would never forget his face. He is..."

...

While Suse was getting the description of Lothur\'s refined appearance, Viktoria was with her father in the Linn Province government building.

After the Province Conference ended, they had an appointment to receive the awards from that competition, making the proper formalities.

So, after passing through that place full of enemies, they did what they should since even if some groups had something against them, it was not the will of the emperor.

The emperor no longer cared about political issues involving imperial succession, as this was no longer his business. He was the strongest in the state and was ready to leave his position in no time.

So how could he act petty to try to harm the Frost family that was no big deal in his eyes?

Plus, as the leader of the state and someone who presided over the value of his own words, he would never allow a winner not to get what they deserved.

Not to mention that not rewarding the Frost family could create a situation where even the enemies of the family would be uncertain about the future. After all, things might be good for them as long as the sovereigns saw them on their side, but what if their situation changed in the future?

So even the enemies of this family within the province did nothing to try to hinder the transfer of land into the Frost family\'s possession!

Thus, in a matter of hours, Viktoria and Aiken received the papers that gave them the right to land previously from other organizations and privileges in terms of paying taxes.

There was a deadline for such families to leave these areas and a time for House Frost to begin to be affected by the awards of this conference edition. But this was not long, and in a short time, this organization could have a territory 20% larger than the current one and have to pay minus 30% taxes!

With this, they could make more cash and improve investments in their young talent!

Viktoria followed this with her father and had a smile on her beautiful face as she took the papers confirming the transfer of property. But, at the same time, she could not help but pay attention to the date when they would have these possessions in their \'hands\' after the Secret Realm.

"Well, it all worked out fine," Aiken commented to her in satisfaction, feeling one less weight on his shoulders.

The family\'s situation was still worrying. But now they could at least take some steps to strengthen themselves a bit instead of just trying to hold off their opponents.

"Yes, in addition to our results, the Dohmen family has been demoted. Now Lothur\'s allies, House Christen, will have a good chance to be appointed the new noble house." She commented to her father, who had already heard about why Lothur had killed Oliver during the tailors\' match.

"Hmm, I hope he can reach a deal with that family in the future." He said as they were already leaving to return to the Frost estate.

At the same time, their enemies, particularly those who would have to renounce their land after the Secret Realm, were on the outskirts looking at them with hatred on their faces.

"Just wait! The Secret Realm is just over there!" One of the several patriarchs who had had to sign the agreements in that place today said in a low voice.

But one of the most skeptical of them then commented despondently. "Tsk! Even if our plans work out, what can we do about it? That family will have those privileges that belonged to us for the next few decades!"

"Then the bastard who controls that family will be the only real beneficiary."

"Damn it!"

"All the fault of the incompetents handling the surveillance of that family! How did they let us compete with that little monster?" An obese man questioned his companions, feeling wronged.

And so, as the Frost family began their plans for the coming months, their enemies lamented, hoping that their future actions would at least lessen their recent losses.

But some were already planning to act against Lothur since security in Peters City would diminish in the coming days, as several families would return to their territories after today.

With this, it was time for the local plots to return to normal, except that Lothur would be the new center of attention for these specialists!
