Chapter 152: A copy cat!
Roland frowned, he could see that something was wrong with Lettice but he could not put a finger on it. He
wanted to hear more about this resort idea that she had in mind so he brushed the weirdness away.
"What else do you have in mind Lettice?"
Lettice sighed and smiled. "Mmm, we have our magical steeds. | know we do not allow people to race them but |
think they can ridden by a few selected guests. We can promote it as a special prize for those that win
something.
We can nthe stables Moonlit stables and have the winners ride through an enchanted trail. At the end of the
trail a picture of the guest is taken and a...mmmm....subu...susu...souvenir."
Realizing that she had a mistake, she rushed to introduce the next great idea she had cup with. "We can
add a crystal soaked spa as long as the mage estate is willing to cooperate and provide crystals infused with
magic for rejuvenating the body and spirit. We can charge eight gold per soaking session.
Also an open-air dining experience would be great, we can have two menus, ordinary food that are labeled
specialties of the resort and dishes made with magical ingredients. The price will vary, | cannot make an
accurate price base for now."
She stood up and planted herself in front of him, keeping a one arms length distance. She could see from the
light in his eyes that he was interested in what she was saying and impressed.
"The resort hotel should have a library. Nothing clams the mind like reading a book by the sea, accompanied by
the sound of waves. As for the grassland, we can have a section of it turned into a park and nit twilight
meadows Edward and Bella style. It can be perfect for picnics or twilight horse rides under the skies with natural
or man made constellations. We can charge ten gold for a one hour romantic magical experience."
Roland nodded his head slowly as she she exhausted her ideas and then he decided to ask a question about
something that was bothering him.
"What is Edward and Bella style?"
Lettice froze, she had absolutely no idea what it was either. Despite her face going pale, her mind worked quickly
and she found an answer.
"Horses!" she blurted out. "I named one female horse Bella and another Edward. They are always together in the
meadows like lovebirds."
"Oh, the horses can be used to endorse the meadow then." Roland laughed.
He had learned about endorsements from Sigrid. She had a large poster of him on the door of the restaurant,
enjoying food and drink. She had even given him one hundred gold as a payment for his services.

Roland did not know why he always gave in to her, he just always did.
"I was thinking that if we begin construction now and work all through winter, by the tspring arrives we will
be ready to open. In the summer, this will be the number one tourist destination of Eldoria." She finished with
flourish.
She even curtsied and giggled. Sof the knights were very impressed and they applauded her. Roland did not
applaud but he missed the rising glow of the sun because he was picturing what Lettice had described.
"Miss Lettice is really more impressive than many titled young women that | have seen." One of the knights
praised.
"Truly, not only is she a good horse rider but she is also caring, and enterprising. Miss Lettice, would you consider
marrying a simple knight like me?" One of the younger knights said.
He was smiling and laughing as if he was joking but there was a seriousness beneath his words. Miss Lettice was
a ward of the crown prince, beautiful, educated and could make money. Which man would not desire a woman
like that?
The other knights were laughing and teasing their colleague.
"Please put him out of his misery." Sir Samuel slapped the young knight on the back.
Lettice laughed along with them, waving her hands around. "You all like teasing me, | am not that great."
"Maybe not great but clever." Roland added to the knights teasing. "This is impressive Lettice, you have really
thought deeply about it and done sresearch. Your education was not a waste, truly." he praised Lettice. "You
have doneproud as my ward."
Just as he finished praising her, another thought crossed his mind. What was a tourist? When he opened his
mouth to ask the question, he yawned instead.
"We should return to the house your highness, the crown princess must be awake by now." Sir Samuel
suggested.
Roland nodded and the group returned to the castle. One hour later, at the table when Roland and the Thorin’s
were preparing to have breakfast he told Sigrid all about Lettice’s business plan.
The more he talked, the deeper the cunning smile on her face grew. It looked like there was a copy cat in the
castle that had copied her business plan from A to Z. Lettice was so stupid, she had not changed or added a
single thing.
Behind her, Lanai and three maids that had stayed up late with Sigrid because she could not sleep last night
traded frowns and questioning looks.
What the crown prince was calling Lettice’s business plan sounded like what the crown princess had been telling
them about last night. She had written down sof the ideas and they had contributed their thoughts and
opinions.
When they went to bed at three in the
night, the business plan was left on
the table. It was aege {the raping

At that exact moment, Lettice walked into the dining room, She had changed into a new dress and over it she
had draped on Roland's velvet cloak. At first glance, she looked like a wealthy daughter of a noble family.

Lettice made the briefest of curtsies as if she was being forced to greet Sigrid. "Your highness, greetings. It is a
lovely morning, is it not?"
"A lovely morning indeed. | cannot tell you how excited | am to meet Bella and Edward." Sigrid smile deceptively.
