“I looked around and the landscaping of the estate seems a bit lacking. How about cutting down all the trees with many branches and decorating it with a water feature?”
“Oh my, as expected from someone from above, you have a unique aesthetic sense!”
“I wonder why we didn’t think of that sooner! Haha, isn’t that the difference between the Count and us!”
Today again, the other vassals flattered Shailene, but not Philip.
“No. If we cut down trees recklessly, nature will be destroyed, and if we move the capital’s scenery to Baekjakryeong, it will be excessive and ridiculous.”
“Dude, if that’s how it’s going to be, why do you keep coming to meetings?”
“Hey, if you’re going to bother me, just leave! If you’re not satisfied, then step down and leave!”
When the normally cheerful atmosphere in the conference room turned cold without Philip, the vassals grouped together and cornered him.
But Philip never gave in and insisted strongly.
“This is a total waste of money. And in my eyes, the landscaping of the estate is not bad. It is obvious that if you mess with it, you will ruin it.”
“No, the author keeps… … !”
“Stop it.”
As the noise among the people grew louder, Shailene firmly intervened.
She quickly wiped away her bright smile and spoke with a calm face.
“Actually, I have something to tell you. I am the new count, but I have no experience in running a fiefdom, and I cannot stay here forever.”
As the story continued, the ears of the deceased perked up.
“So I’m planning to appoint someone to run the Charophet Estate as my agent.”
In other words, they were looking for someone to act as the master of the estate in her place.
Since there was no position of power for the deceased, their eyes all shone with greed.
“I will tell you at the meeting tomorrow, so please make sure to attend.”
Shailene smiled faintly and left the conference room with Karl.
While the rest of them were growing increasingly greedy, only Philippe Dumore sighed.
The next day, the meeting with Gashin.
The vassals who had gathered one step ahead of the count were each excited.
“Hehehe, of course the Count would choose me, right? Of all of these, I have worked for the Count’s family the longest!”
“Ah, I think it’s me. It’s as if the Count and I are in sync, and it’s just entered my head.”
As the six were dreaming vain dreams, Philip thought with a dark face.
‘I’m really starting to have delusions about the Countess of Charophet. What should I do with this…?’
I was just in my thirties, and I thought my hair was going to turn gray from stress.
As Philip let out a heavy sigh, Shailene entered the conference room.
“Everyone is here.”
Unlike usual, she was dressed neatly and simply in a high-necked dress.
Everyone looked at Shailene in an unfamiliar manner, feeling both elegant and weighty.
Shailene, who went to the top seat, got to the main point without hesitation.
“The person who will take charge of and run the Charophet Estate in my stead is―.”
Everyone swallowed dry saliva and focused on what she would say next.
Blue eyes landed on the one sitting across from me among the seven faces.
“This is Viscount Philippe Dumore.”
When I called out the name of the person who had made a decision in his heart yesterday, sighs of shock came from all directions.
“What, what did you say?”
“Are you kidding? Why, Viscount Dumore… … .”

The vassals asked with faces of disbelief. They could not understand why they would appoint Philip, who opposed Shailene’s opinions on every matter, as their agent.
Even Philip, who was involved, looked bewildered as if he had no idea what was going on.
But Shailene didn’t smile as bashfully as before, but spoke coldly.
“Whenever I brought up an absurd business idea, the only one who opposed me and tried to stop me was Viscount Dumore.”
For a moment, an ominous aura enveloped the six vassals. Perhaps, striking back then was a very wrong choice.
“While everyone else was trying to please me, only Viscount Dumore stood up to me with sincere concern for his lands. Who else could be more suitable as the Earl’s representative?”
Shailene gave the attendees a cold look. No one could refute her words and just looked bewildered.
Then, Count Walter protested as if he was being wronged.
“Now, wait a minute! Of course, I knew that the Count was talking nonsense, but I just did it because it seemed to be what the owner of the land and the head of the family wanted!”
“That’s right, we didn’t really intend to do as the Count said!”
The other vassals also agreed, crying as if they had been scammed.
Shailene looked at them and smiled, tugging at her lips.
“Isn’t it too cowardly to say something like that now? You must be ashamed of yourself.”
“… … !”
At that one blow, everyone’s face turned red and their mouths shut tightly.
Count Walter, who had just noticed Shailene’s intentions, said with a hollow laugh.
“… … The Count has tested us.”
Shailene didn’t deny it.
In order to short-term select trustworthy people, she deliberately played the role of a naive and vulgar count.
If you are someone who truly cares about your spirituality, you will not spare harsh words for yourself.
‘I never thought there would be only one Baron Dumore.’
Still, one out of seven was saved, so it wasn’t a bad achievement.
Shailene, who had no more business with the other vassals, raised her finger and pointed to the door.
“Everyone except Baron Dumore, please leave.”
The attendants had no choice but to give up their seats, even while grumbling.
Her face, which did not smile brightly, was quite stern and gave off a sense of dignity befitting a countess.
So, Philip, who was left alone with Shailene, finally came to his senses and asked.
“Then… … are all the golden peaches, rainbow spirits, and landscaping projects you’ve been talking about so far false?”
“yes that’s right.”
“Ha… … That’s really fortunate.”
In the midst of all this, Philip was relieved that the most important thing was that she did not truly intend to ruin the estate.
Shailene, who was looking at him like that, had eyes that sparkled like Bartholomew when he discovered a talent.
“Baron Dumore, I heard you’ve served our family for three generations.”
“… Yes, that’s right.”
“Then this time, will you help me, Shailene Charophée?”
Shailene quickly got up from her seat and approached Philip first, extending her hand.
How could Charophée refuse Dumore’s offer of cooperation?
Philip pressed his trembling hands and made his thoughts clear for the first time.
“If your Majesty truly values the land, I will always follow your words.”
“Then we will work together for the rest of our lives.”
As the expected answer flowed from Shailene’s mouth, Philip finally shook her hand.
It was the best combination for the revival of the Charophet Estate.
