12: A Visit To Lora

Under Carra's drastic reforms, the operation of the two stores where Carra's inheritance was, gradually improved.

The two shops were located on Barma alley. The most prosperous road in the capital, and the geographical position was superior. If Angelina was not for the trouble, they would not be making losses every year.

Before, when Carra got the account of the shop, she was really shocked. Fortunately for her, this soon changed. She was so excited when she learned that she had two stores in prime locations under her name, but she was also sad on the account of deficits, year after year.

Whereas, the other shops under the name of the Cawthorne family on the nearby alley were flourishing.

But now, one of the Cawthorne's shops had been seized, and the other one had gradually declined after the rise of Carra's shops. Angelina Cawthorne really fell ill this time. What's even more depressing was that she couldn't take what she wanted from Carra.

It was impossible to see anyone who would embezzle Carra's inheritance now. If she had a bad relationship with Carra and she exposed her, she would lose the prestige and status of herself as the mistress of the house. What more, her life in the service of the king would be very sad.

Therefore, during this period of time, Carra lived a very happy life. She was going to the streets from time to time, experiencing the customs of the Athurian empire, going to tarvans and restaurants to listen to folk gossip, and grasp the latest world situation.

Nowadays, the Central Plains was divided into four parts of the world. Among them, Athuria had the most extensive territory and the most abundant products. There were three continents around it, namely Burham continent to the north, Jadea continent to the west, and Nuport continent to the south. The most powerful.

Burham was dominated by nomads. It had a sturdy folks who were good at riding and shooting. They had coveted the territory of Arrthuria for a long time, and had repeatedly sent troops to violate the border.

Seven years ago, in the battle of Arthurian City, the house of Wulnar had severely damaged Burham's 300,000 army. General Baxter was shot and killed by the then 16-year-old Wulfgar.

General Baxter was the most brave general in Burham, but he died in the hands of a 16-year-old general in Arrthuria. The whole country of Burham was shocked. Burham's king took the initiative to negotiate peace with Arrthuria and promised not to send troops to Arthuria in the next ten years.

In view of the situation, Arrthuria agreed to negotiate a peace with Burham. That battle could be said to have hurt both sides.

In the past 7 years, the Arrthuria Dynasty could be regarded as a state of peace and security under the current Emperor Ming's governance. Walking on the prosperous road of Barma alley, Carra thought of the house of Wulnar for no reason.

For such peace and tranquility, the house of Wulnar paid a huge price, the former general Wulnar gave his life, and the current war general lost his health.

Lora was located at the intersection of Barma alley and Olive Street, in the prosperous area of ​​Shanti. Before Carra reached the door, she heard a loud noise in the store.

"Bold, youre so bold!" Audrey's sharp and arrogant voice came into Carra's ears from far away.

Carra frowned, why was it her again! This girl was not at ease wherever she was. Carra walked into the store and saw Audrey glaring angrily at the current shopkeeper, Hawley.

The maid Reina who followed next to her was holding a set of packaged jade heads in her hands.

Hawley was Vira's distant nephew. He was thirty-five or six years old, with upright face but no lack of shrewdness. Carra was very satisfied with him since he had been working conscientiously and fulfilling his duties as the treasurer of Lora.

Hawley did not show weakness in the face of Audrey's unreasonable clamor. Although he bowed down and saluted respectfully, he still insisted on standing firmly and did not give in.

Seeing Carra walking in, Hawley was obviously relieved. He saluted Carra, and respectfully said. "Welcome, eldest lady."

The second lady of the Copperstone was too unreasonable, and she was really hard to deal with. But the eldest lady must have a way, Hawley thought with relief.

After contacting him during this period of time, he admired Carra very much. Although the eldest lady looked gentle and weak, her knowledge and courage were unusual.

Carra nodded to Hawley, glanced faintly at Audrey, whose nose was upturned, and said, "Well, since my sister has taken a fancy to this set of jewelry, there's no need for quarrels. You can just tell the storekeeper, and he will send it to you at home. When you go home, it will arrive after you. Why bother to lose your temper here and lose the dignity of the family."

Audrey snorted coldly and said arrogantly. "What qualifications do you have to raise this up with me? You are disfigured and suitor-less, and now even Algernon despise you. If I were you, even if I didn't hang myself, I would live in the monastery for the rest of my life. It's embarrassing for you to come out hereand show your face around."

Hearing Audrey's words, the people watching the lively encounter outside the gate began to discuss in whispers.

"It turns out that this is the Copperstone's family."

"Yes, and that's miss Carra."

"Seeing that she is covered in a veil, shouldn't she be really disfigured?"

"Yes, she is. Alas, what a pity!"

"I heard that the king gave her in a marriage to Wulfgar, but he refused."

"Then she was turned down twice, alas."

"As a Machan, would she ever bel married out?"

"Maybe the king will order her to marry a human to preserve whats left of her dignity."
