Chapter 42 The First Secret Plan (6) In Britannia, gastronomy was merely a luxury for some eccentrics, not a matter of public interest. But when it came to alcohol, the story was different. In a harsh world without any decent entertainment, alcohol was one of the few pleasures and comforts in life, regardless of social status. The liquor tax of 15% per bottle was also a massive financial resource the royal family could never let go of, so they had immense interest in the production and distribution of…-

Chapter 90 The next day. I brought the cookbook and visited the kitchen of the Deste Estate. This time, Uncle Popina, who had once been my fellow overweight companion but was now becoming the most handsome person in the village, came with me. “Uncle, why do you keep getting more and more handsome?” “My wife asks me that every morning too, while looking annoyed.” “And what do you tell her?” “I was born this way. I just neglected taking care of myself before.” “That…-

Chapter 41 The First Secret Plan (5) A commotion broke out at the Renoir household. Serena, who had vanished without a trace, had returned safely with Jurgen. “My daughter, let me hold you. Come here, are you hurt anywhere?” “Serena! Where on earth have you been!” “Are you alright, Miss? You’re not injured, are you?” The workshop team members who had scattered in all directions gathered, and even Serena’s father, Viscount Renoir, and her mother came running out barefoot. Serena’s…

Chapter 89 Whenever the hot summer arrived, Lady Stria would always travel to her summer villa in the north to recover her health. After losing her daughter, the old lady had become very weak. Even making that trip was difficult for her. But staying in the capital or at her territory was even more painful.

Chapter 30 What Do You Take Me For? Ferda tilted his head in confusion. “What does that have to do with plotting or instigating rebellion?” “It’s because you are arming soldiers through corporate sponsorships and constructing roads connecting to the Empire. Isn’t that clearly preparation for a smooth invasion?” That logic was absurd beyond reason. Ferda responded calmly. “Improving roads serves the purpose of facilitating supply lines, trade, and securing easier support from…-

Chapter 29 When in the King’s Territory, Follow the King’s Laws That day, Ferda stood at the highest point and spotted a group riding toward Baldrova’s royal territory. There were about twenty of them, all mounted on horseback. Unless a horse was raised in the Far East, most would instinctively recoil at the presence of a dragon.

Chapter 88 “A... first aid kit?” The young parents slowly opened the box. Inside were disposable bandages, gauze, ointment, and various medicines. The Salvation Priest smiled kindly as he explained. “These are emergency medical supplies that can be used at home to treat sudden fevers like this, upset stomachs, or minor bruises.” “Oh!” “I-I can definitely see how something like this would be useful.” The way the young parents looked at the first aid kit completely…

Chapter 28 The Purge Unit The title of “Sage” is one that cannot ever be self-proclaimed, as it is held to the strictest of standards. Among the known sages of the Serdes continent, Hellus Fobidas became a sage through an unusual path. This was because he was not from Escolaea, the city of scholars, nor was he a commoner-born magician expected to shine with innate genius. Hellus himself left behind this anecdote about how he became a sage: He said that one day, while sleeping as usual, he awoke…

Chapter 87 “Y-Young Lady...” The Head Priest suddenly asked in a thin, hoarse voice. “W-What was that just now...?” He pointed at the empty space where I had just taken the documents out. “Oh, my storage space?” I thought it was something serious. I let out a small sigh and opened my storage space again, pulling out a book. It was Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the most famous self-improvement book from our village library, A Guide to Refinement When the World Oppresses…

Chapter 27 Because It’s Embarrassing Count Consillus was startled and asked again. “The Regent? You mean… Valdrova’s fiancé?” “We’re not entirely sure about the details either… But what’s clear is that he managed to convince Branch Manager Stefan Pascal. That man is not easily swayed, no matter someone’s rank or status.” “Ahh…” Count Consillus let out an involuntary sigh. Ferda Valdrova. What kind of image did he have now? It was the worst. So far, all he had…
