After returning to Ordis from Blionia, the three-day Midsummer Festival ends here.

Alisa, Ryan and others have returned to their daily routines, but recently Alisa and Lisha have beenhaved a little strangely.

They always hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly back to their room after training and refused to let Ryan get close.

The depressed Ryan could only go back to his room alone to sleep. "Just prepare a birthday gift... Is it necessary to keep it so confidential?"

June 23rd is Ryan's birthday in this life, and he himself doesn't care much about it, but everyone, including Qiya and Yartina, seems to be looking forward to this day.

On June 20, Ryan kept his promise to Edel and took Alisa, who had finally moved out of time early in the morning, and took the Duke's Mansion special car from Ordis.

When they walked north through Lackville and arrived at the fork in the north of Languedoc Canyon, the group could easily see the rest stop near the fork in Edel.

"Oh~" Edel narrowed his eyes happily when he saw Ryan bringing Alisa to visit. "I didn't expect you to come so soon. I haven't even prepared yet. Please sit there casually. I'll make herbal tea for you."

As Edel said, the rest station on the roadside was full of flowers. As soon as the car stopped at the door of the rest station, Ryan and others smelled the very pleasant fragrance after deliberately matching the fragrance of flowers.

Edel enthusiastically welcomed Ryan and others into the store, and there were also various potted plants and flower baskets, making people feel as if they had entered a country of flowers.

Not to mention the civilians who were accompanying Ryan and the personal guards who were coming to him, Edel made tea for everyone, curiously looked at Lixia in professional clothes beside Ryan.

Seeing Edel's desire to speak but stop, Ryan chuckled and introduced to her, "Edel, this is Lisha Mao, my girlfriend, now serves as my secretary."

"Don't look at her soft and weak appearance, she is actually very capable in both civil and military affairs."

"ah……"

Edel was stunned, and then the naturally stunned eyes circled between Lisha and Alisa, her meaning was self-evident.

"Cough~" Seeing Alisa snorting and turning her head, Ryan could only stand up and explain to her, "That... Lisha is the side room I booked, Alisa has known about this for a long time."

After all, Edel was also a noble family. After hearing Ryan's explanation, she clasped her hands suddenly and said, "So that's the case, but... Miss Alisa doesn't mind?"

Alisa was a little helpless to say this Tianlan Dai Senior, who was not polite at all. She smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Reinhardt and Lisha are sure that their relationship is much earlier than me, and we both were still in the stage of resisting each other."

"Besides, this is the system of the nobles. I was mentally prepared as early as when I learned that my fiancé was the heir to the duke's family."

Ryan touched his head embarrassedly, "That's it. Fortunately, Alisha and Lixia get along well, at least they don't have to worry about them playing palace fighting dramas at home."

"Prefection?" Alisa looked at Ryan squintedly and complained, "What? Do you really want to marry a lot of side rooms and wait for the show?"

"No, don't label me."

Lisha knew that Alisha was just joking, and when Ryan hurriedly waved his hand to explain, a light smile appeared on her face.

After all, I only saw it a few days ago. After drinking Edel's delicious herbal tea, Ryan and others said goodbye and left. There is still something important to do next.

The rest stop opened by Edel is at the fork in the road leading to the towns of Alsta and Aragon Mine.

To the east is Alsta, a small border town in the northwest of the empire, and to the north is Aragon iron mine, one of the two pillar iron ores of the empire.

The Aragon Iron Mine is located just below the foot of the Aragon Mountains, which stretches from the Empire to the Julai Special Economic Zone and Northampulia Autonomous Prefecture.

The mining town has a longer history than Mainz in Closbel, and is mainly composed of ancient wooden houses in its sturdy style.

Ryan's plan to inspect Aragon Mine Town was a temporary decision. Not to mention the imperial government, even the noble officials who followed him were confused and obviously not prepared.

When Ryan got off the bus from the Mining Town, he happened to encounter a scene where miners gathered in the square in the town to protest.

These miners who were holding mine hoes were strong ones, and opposite them were three men in suits and ties, probably officials sent by the imperial government to urge them to increase their mine output.

"Why do you make us work overtime to mine? It's not the war time. As a miner, I refuse to execute the government's orders on behalf of the miner."

The government official in the lead wearing glasses and smirked with a fake face spread his hands and said, "Oh my ~ the mine manager, it's too unreasonable for you to say this. The government's requirements are absolute. You miners just need to obey the order."

"You and I have our own tasks. If we cannot complete the task, we will not be able to get it. Next month, iron ore output will increase by at least 20%. If we cannot do it... I am afraid I will have to make some compulsory measures on behalf of the government."

"you!"

The thick and generous mine manager looked at the smiling fox opposite him and wanted to yell the mine on his face. A strong blue-haired young man beside him hurriedly grabbed him.

"Dad, don't be excited. We are responsible for beating people. Let's protest to the Lamar State Government."

"Haha! Protest?"

The noble officials laughed, and another official with a popular face said sarcastically, "The Aragon Iron Mine is under the government management. What's the use of suing the noble master?"

"Not to mention that they do not have jurisdiction, even if there are, those nobles who do not care about the lives of civilians will pay attention to you?"

"oh?"

A playful voice sounded from behind the government official, "Who told you about your preconceived prejudice? The nobles are not in charge? The Aragon iron mine is managed by the government?"

"How do I remember..."

Ryan, wearing a gorgeous purple dress and a sea blue shawl, walked to the center of the venue. "The royal family is the one who manages the two major iron mines? Are you trying to rebel here by turning black and white here?"

"you……"

When the other party saw Ryan's dress and the noble temperament naturally displayed on his whole body, he immediately knew that he had heard the bad words behind him.

"Noble? Who are you?"

"Slow down..."

The official in the glasses had lost his smile at this time. He looked at Ryan with a faint sarcastic smile on his face in horror.

"Your Excellency... Could it be Duke Kane?"

"What?!"

“Haha~”

Ryan politely reached out and stroked his chest and bent over slightly. "The current Duke of Kane, Reinhardt de Kane, is very happy to meet three officials from the "Prime Minister's Sect."

"So……"

After Ryan stood up straight again, the faces of the three people on the opposite side had turned pale. They knew that they had kicked the titanium alloy steel plate this time.

"Please explain to me in detail why, when did the Aragon iron mine, which His Majesty handed over to Prince Olibat, become the Prime Minister's private property?"
