Chapter 78 A New Challenge “Open your very own shop by Lake Valpide!” “What?” Gelfry’s bleary eyes widened as he forced himself to read the text despite his hangover. He snatched the magazine from Jamer’s hands and scanned the article quickly. “No money? Can’t read? No problem! If you have a product to sell and the passion to try, you can become a shop owner in the new lakeside marketplace. … Submit your application at the Market Office by the lake. Qualifications will be…- 3.0 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 77 Negotiations Break Down “What did the head of the Merchants’ Guild say?” Perel scratched his forehead. “He said he’s been encouraging shopkeepers to apply for stalls, but the opposition among them is too strong.” “So… are they saying the marketplace plan is canceled?” “He said he’ll try persuading them again.” I let out a scornful laugh. His real intentions were obvious. “There must be conditions, right?” “He suggested giving subsidies as…

- Chapter 76 Love Triangle “No use arguing. I’ll tell the Grand Duke himself about this matter of protection.” As I declared that and turned to leave, Tiern quickly stepped closer. “I’ve already spoken to the Commander.” He said it firmly, as if conscious of how I once accused him of not even daring to speak to the Grand Duke. “Then… did the Grand Duke approve?” “…… He said what matters more is Your Highness’s forgiveness.” Hmm. So he actually swallowed his…

- Chapter 75 Goldrain’s Competitor (2) “If you have any questions, feel free to ask.” When the Duchess smiled and made eye contact, several officials flushed red. Adem suddenly raised his hand. “Your Grace, does ‘moving in’ mean shop owners don’t have to buy the land or building to open a store?” A mere trainee official speaking up first was bold. He could feel his superior’s glare from the front row, but he couldn’t hold back his curiosity. “That’s right. Since…

- Chapter 74 Goldrain’s Competitor (1) “I just came back from training, so you might find the smell of sweat unpleasant.” “I didn’t smell any sweat at all. When I leaned against you earlier, you only smelled nice.” It was true. When my face touched that firm chest, along with the pleasant warmth, there was a cool earthy scent that made my heart skip a beat. At my words, the tips of the Grand Duke’s ears turned red. “Still… my body must be dirty from dust.” He turned…

Chapter 58 It was the third day of being trapped, unable to eat properly. Was it three days? She just stared blankly at the sun rising and setting in the sky outside the window. Viscount Muteso, perhaps because he had decided to kill her, didn't bother supplying her with food or drink. "Ha, I'm hungry." She could feel the weight she'd gained over the past few days dropping off again. She felt dizzy. In some ways, it was surprising that she could still feel hungry even in this…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 57 After Reston left, the Count of Rotheroa visited Aileen's room. It was the first time since Aileen had come to Rotheroa. Aileen received the Count in the small sitting room attached to her quarters. “……You're not lacking for anything, are you?” The Count of Rotheroa's lips twitched. It was lamentable that this was all he could manage to say at this moment, but it was the Count's best effort. Aileen stared at the Count with indifferent eyes. Not once during her time here…

- Chapter 73 Sparks of Passion A short while ago, the Grand Duke called me in to tell me the outcome of the punishment for the criminals. “I remember you said you’d handle it yourself, but…” He hesitated, then told me they had found out who was behind it. I thought for sure he’d name the head maid. But the name that came out of his mouth was, unexpectedly, “Is the person you had in mind the daughter of Count Avoir?” “Lady Meisel?” When I asked how he figured it out,…

- Chapter 56 Aileen clenched her fists. Her heart pounded heavily. She felt suffocated by the silence emanating from the Crown Prince and the Duke of Chesskant. “……It's not a bad method.” As soon as Crown Prince Christon's words fell, Aileen let out a breath that was almost a sigh. “However, for that to be possible, we'll also need the cooperation of the Count of Rotheroa.” Crown Prince Christon turned his gaze to Reston. “That shouldn't be difficult. He may not be good…

- Chapter 72 Wounds Cut by Words This wasn’t removing the head maid’s title in name, but it clearly meant that from now on Bennet would handle all the actual duties of the position. Marzella, however, couldn’t find the right words to protest. The Duchess had just told her she was still the head maid. But the authority of her title had already crumbled. The “Zella’s Parlor” that she had spent years improving — saving budget to replace the leather on the sofas, changing the…
