"What happened to my wish?"

Ramon and Milia kicked the door open at the same time, and Tia came in from the door.

"Who let her in?"

"How did she know we were here?!"

"Get her out now!"

……

The nobles who were discussing the matter suddenly became busy and a few of them even squatted in the corner of the room.

"Lock the door."

Tia still had a gentle smile on her face as she walked towards them step by step.

Memories that had faded with time reappeared before my eyes and overlapped with each other.

"Lord, of course we must fulfill your wish. Only you can lead our territory to flourish!"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

"The Lord has always been fair and just, and has contributed to the development of the territory. He is a well-deserved good lord!"

...With one polite remark after another, everyone seemed to have forgotten what they had done.

"Then can I come in?" Tia's face was full of curiosity, and her eyes made people feel uneasy.

The person who spoke first wanted to slap himself in the face. Why did he speak so early?

"Yes, yes, of course. The entire territory belongs to the lord. Of course the lord can go wherever he wants." The man could only smile and hope that Tia would let him go.

"I can't know?" Tia seemed very satisfied with the answer, and turned to find the second person who spoke.

"Okay, okay." The man was still wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, but in the blink of an eye, the person was in front of him, so he could only smile along.

"Then tell me what you did?" Tia turned around and sat on the chair in the middle. She raised her arm and waved her hand downward, and the green vines blocked the exit.

"You don't have to rush. There's still plenty of time. You can talk slowly."

Seeing that he didn't need to help block the blockage there, Miriam turned around to pour a cup of tea and placed it next to Tia.

"Bring him a cup of tea. It seems he's been discussing this for too long and his mouth is too dry to speak."

Tia was already feeling annoyed because of all the trouble these people had caused, which had caused him to run around non-stop this morning.

Now seeing this group of people acting without taking responsibility and wasting her time by playing dumb, she couldn't help but want to curse them.

Of course, she is a noble and cannot do anything too uncivilized, so it is better to just make sarcastic remarks.

The man was already trembling with fear, and after hearing this, he did not dare to hesitate any longer. "It's just that I lack the ability to express myself. I have been thinking about how to explain this matter to the lord, so I didn't answer.

I... I didn't do anything actually. I just have a shop at home, but the business wasn't very good and it needed to be renovated, so I closed the shop for a while. And the group of people who were just eating for free couldn't submit satisfactory design drawings.

The store is closed, but now I don't know what to do with it, and I can't start renovating it. I lost a lot of gold coins in vain."

The man stuttered at the beginning, but he became more and more confident as he spoke, and his words convinced himself.

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head respectfully, but his eyes looked around, hoping that someone would pick up on him. However, with the previous experience as the lesson, the air was still very quiet, and everyone was waiting for Tia's response.

"How dare you close the store without design drawings before deciding to renovate?" Tia's tone was full of doubts, as if she was asking a question, but also as if she was thinking to herself.

The man didn't dare to reply without permission and chose to continue playing dumb.

"Are you kidding me?" Tia picked up the tea that Miriam was about to pour for the man and threw it at his feet. "If you have forgotten what happened over a month ago, I can help you recall it."

"Your Excellency the Lord is unaware of this."

"Then tell me, what don't I know?"

"This..." Harry didn't expect Tia to interrupt him in such a tough manner, and he was stuck there for a moment.

But he was the main initiator of this matter, and he couldn't keep playing dumb here, otherwise if the truth was revealed, he would be finished!

"Business is tough right now. Ever since the lord reorganized the territory, every household has been severely weakened. Smaller businesses have taken advantage of our situation and quickly snatched away a lot of our business. We have no choice but to close our shop this time."

Harry's tone was earnest, and he made an extremely exaggerated and sad expression as he spoke.

"Didn't you bring this upon yourselves? The fact that your business was taken away is a sign of your incompetence. If one company didn't prepare blueprints before renovation, you could say they were just stupid, but if so many companies didn't prepare blueprints before renovation..."

Tia stood up from her chair again and walked in front of Harry.

"Why do you think this is?"

Harry looked down at Tia, but inexplicably felt that he was being looked down upon.

He knew that Tia should have known all this for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't have known they were having a meeting here and would have broken in without a second thought.

But...but he couldn't admit it. Once the people here admitted it, they would undoubtedly hand the evidence to the lord.

But if you don't admit it...

Harry finally hesitated for a long time and lowered his noble head. "It's my poor brain and lack of skills that led to this situation. I'm sorry for causing trouble to the Lord. I hope the Lord will forgive me."

Tia didn't respond and turned to walk towards the others. Everyone was admitting their stupidity. Every step Tia took was like stepping on their spines, making a creaking sound.

"As a noble who serves as a role model for the common people, you have done something so foolish. You should be ashamed of yourselves, but this matter can still be redeemed."

Tia returned to her seat again and took a sip of tea slowly.

Everyone looked with hope at the lord who was sitting in the seat and had the power of life and death over them, hoping that he would show mercy and let them go.

"All you need to do is prepare a new design and redecorate the store!"

The air suddenly returned to its lowest point, and everyone felt as if they were in an icy cellar. They had saved their face by not admitting it, but Tia's move had cut off their financial support, forcing their shop to close for at least another two weeks.

What Tia said meant that the store could not make minor changes, but major changes would require a complete new design drawing. It would take some time to design it, and it would also take some time to move things in and out.

But the shop next to them has already opened and is taking away their business.

In the end, they used money to defend their pitiful dignity.
