Chapter 7

Regina watched as the first mansion was being redecorated, she felt one step closer to opening the most profitable business in this world. She looked at the roof before frowning slightly, she had to make the roof damage proof.

"Is there away to replace the roof with a more durable material?" Regina asked the head construction worker, he scratched the back of his head and stared at the roof for a while.

"Yes young miss, but i would like to ask, exactly what material do you intent to use?" He asked Regina. She wasn't sure, she had only been this this world for a few days so she found herself unable to reply immediately.

"What is your strongest material?" She asked so they wouldn't suspect her to be an imposter.

"That would be dragon scale enforced glass.

"I want the roof to be completely taken off, replace it with dragon scale enforced glass." She said making her decision. Alein leaned towards Regina.

"Miss, there is currently a national shortage of dragon scales." Alein said quietly next to her. He wasn't surprised that she didn't know, after all she was formerly obsessed with beauty.

"Why is that?" Regina asked slightly displeased with his information. She really didn't know a lot about this world, however she was able to work out that dragons existed here.

"Well a few days ago the Kingdom of Farben had and argument with our Emperor and they stopped trading. Due to that all trading routes have been cut of including the roads to the dragon lands." That was stupid, have an argument and leave your country without trading routes. I guess there was only one solution.

"Is that so?... ok then we'll go and get some." She said as she put away the blue prints in front of her, she wasn't the kind of person to waste time, she wanted to get this over and done with.

"What?" Alein said a bit taken back, was she actually that fearless or that stupid? Go to the dragon lands? Did she not value her life?

" You heard me, we'll go to the dragon lands and get some dragon scales. I can't stand the food here so this shop has to open quickly so you people can taste delicious food." Regina really hated food without taste, the food in this world was just too bad, she couldn't stand it!

Alein couldn't understand her logic but he could only bow and help his mistress into her carriage.

Regina quietly savored the flowers in the green house with her uncle next to her, they were beautiful purple flowers. Apparently they had been in the Regilor manor for more than two centuries.  She dropped the medical book she had been reading in other to really appreciate such beautiful flowers. "You really want to go?" Her uncle asked, he really didn't understand his niece. Since she had been dumped by the second prince she hadn't been the same. She was most likely still disheartened by that event, his niece had suffered.

"It's good experience, and i wouldn't mind seeing a real dragon." Her uncle only sighed, His father hadn't come back from the imperial palace yet so he couldn't ask for his advice, but he couldn't say no. He could try to persuade her, but as soon as he attempted to persuade her to stay a middle aged guard immediately came in and bowed in front of the two.

"Master, young Miss, The Emperor has summoned you to court."

Her uncle's face darkened, if it was just  marriage decree then they wouldn't need to go to the court, something must have happened. "What happened?" He asked darkly and the guard gulped, he suddenly felt that his life was coming to an end, he didn't sign up for this!

"The Miss has been accused of attempted murder on Isabella Mandrie ."  In a fit of fury Domnitor threw his teacup to the floor. The sound of shattering ceramics echoed and sent chills down the guard's spine.
