"I am even more grateful to hear such comfort from the young Lady."
Deputy Lord Ivan spoke to me in a slightly dazed voice.
"Not because she's my granddaughter, also she's just an adult, but she's very broad-minded and smart."
My grandfather secretly compliments me next to me.
"This Lombardy delivery business is also her work."
"Oh, is that so?"
The eyes of Deputy Lord Ivan, who looks at me, have changed.
I smiled and pointed to the spot where the tea was ready.
“I have prepared a tea to help you sleep well. I'll tell you while drinking."
The tea I carefully selected myself is actually a calming tea rather than a good night's sleeping tea.
It certainly works, after sat down and drinking a few sips of tea, Deputy Lord Ivan's complexion improved significantly.
His face, which seemed to be frozen, melted warmly and became soft.
It's just good enough to poke and go down at will.
"How is the damage situation?"
As I had said before the arrival of Deputy Lord Ivan, Grandpa starts the words first.
"Fortunately, so far, there aren't that many casualties. But..."
Deputy Lord Ivan unexpectedly candidly spoke of the situation.
"At this rate, we're not sure whether the people of the territory will be able to farm properly in the spring after winter."
"What's wrong with farming now? You'll have to worry about getting through the winter right now. The winters in the North are harsh."
"...That's true."
Deputy Lord Ivan's shoulders drooped further down.
And I could be sure when I saw it.
He stopped by the Empress's Palace early this morning, and his relationship with the Empress is not the same as before.
If he still had a strong relationship with Angenas, Deputy Lord Ivan would have kept his eyes on me and grandpa until the end.
Indeed, the Empress cannot continue to be faithful to Ivan, who can no longer provide Triva trees.
What if we don't fight each other with blood on our necks by blaming the landslide on each other right now?
Anyway, what's important now is that Ivan, the head of the North, is now in a kites-like position.
"The Ivans were rash in this case. You should've done enough logging. They say the walls can be rebuilt, but what about those who have fallen victim to the landslide?"
Grandfather said in a stern voice.
I quickly sided with Deputy Lord Ivan.

"Nobody knew it would rain so much, Grandpa."
"But a Lord must be prepared for such a situation."
It's not really my grandfather and me at odds.
Just stick to the role, according to the pre-arranged script.
Instead of scaring and screaming on one side, cover and soothe the other.
Then the target person naturally leans emotionally on the one who protects him and listens to him.
"It's no use arguing now, Grandpa. The most important thing is to get people back to their original lives quickly. Isn't it, Deputy Lord Ivan?"
Let's cover up the past and come up with a solution.
It's a favorite word for people who have responsibility.
Deputy Lord Ivan was no different.
"Yes, families in the North are now focusing on damage recovery."
"And to help you with that, I asked to meet Deputy Lord Ivan today."
"Help me...."
"The most necessary thing to make the North back to normal again is wood, right?"
"Yes, that's right."

"But you can't do active logging because you're worried about another landslide, right?."
"The roads to the undamaged logging grounds were blocked by landslides of course..."
"Oh, my God..."
I said it after I put in a twist.
"Clerivan Pellet, the owner of Pellet Corporation, is my teacher who taught me from an early age. And fortunately, there is a large amount of Triva woods that was not used by Pellet Corporation. We're thinking of selling the wood at a cost due to the dire circumstances of the North."
Actually, it wasn't Clerivan's, but I wanted to do that.
"Is that true? Do, as much as money. No, it's a little hard right now, but if you give me time, I can pay for it!"
Deputy Lord Ivan was delighted.
Ivan is by no means a poor territory.
But they can't spend a lump sum of money right now when mining, agriculture, and forestry, which are central industries, are all closed.
"You can let go of those worries a little. Half of that timber will be purchased by our Lombardy and sent to the north as relief supplies."
"Oh, no, that's wi cost lot of money..."
Surprised by what I said, Deputy Lord Ivan quickly stopped talking.
He realized that the people he's facing now were none other than Lombardy.
In fact, that amount doesn't affect Lombardy's finances even if we spend ten times.1
Deputy Lord Ivan hesitated and lowered his head slightly.
"It's embarrassing, but Lombardy's help... I'll take it. Thank you."
And the voice that was continuing to speak was dull.
"I've been asking for help from place to place all day long, but I've only been rejected... How should I express this feeling?"
Deputy Lord Ivan said facing my grandfather.
Grandfather spoke in a relaxed voice to such a Ronchent Ivan.
"What am I looking for? This child has full control over this work."
"Ah..."
Ronchent Ivan, who was about the same age as my father, looked at me and said.
"Thank you, Lady Lombardy."
"Natural disasters can happen to any of us. We should help each other at times like this."
"If there's anything that Ivan can do to repay you..."
Yeah, that's it!
This is exactly what I wanted to hear!
With a slight smile, I sneaked out the main points that I prepared for this occasion.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
