Chapter 122 Chapter 122. No Banquet is Complete Without a Young Lady (1) Time flowed on without pause. Early dawn. Having put the finishing touch on the ritual by offering Cola produced at the factory as a dedication, Stella made her preparations to depart. "Could you cinch these backpack straps tight for her?" "You still can't tie own straps properly?" "No, it's not that. Just reminded me of old times." Come to think of it, back when Stella was just a little girl, Jurgen had always looked after her…- 2.8 M • Completed
- Chapter 121 Chapter 121. Situational Awareness (3) Penelope walked through the streets of Notaris, luggage bag in hand. She had no particular destination in mind. She had made up her mind to accept Great-Uncle Hector's proposal. What came after was obvious. Penelope would be married off in an arranged political marriage almost immediately. She would be sent off to a place far away, both politically and geographically. Clarisse would want that too, and most likely, she would never have reason to return…

- Chapter 120 Chapter 120. You're Perceptive... (2) The second floor of the factory, a rest area set aside for the workers. "Are you quite sure about coffee at this hour?" "For the sake of my body's necessity, I require caffeine intake......" Serena accepted the cup of coffee Jurgen had poured her. She was the same Serena who had leveled the sharp accusation of "you're deceiving innocent Penelope—what are you plotting?!" but...... Soothed by Jurgen's composed manner, she seemed to have settled…

- Chapter 119 Chapter 119. You're Perseptive... (1) When the end of the world was drawing near. Who would be the most frightened? It would probably be the prophet who had seen that prophecy. In other words—what you don't know can't hurt you. And so Serena became frightened. So frightened that she could do nothing but spin in circles where she stood. "Aren't you getting dizzy?" Brigitte's gaze—placed there in lieu of a comfort doll—spun round and round following Serena. "Why on earth......?" No…

- Chapter 118 Chapter 118. The Saint (6) A hospital on the outskirts of Nortaris. "How is she?" "It is fortunate you arrived in time. She has passed the critical point. We will need to monitor her condition for the time being, but you may set your worries aside." At the doctor's words, the rims of his doctor's eyes flushed red. "Thank you, truly thank you, doctor..." It was Cecily who had insisted on coming to Nortaris, but it was Hector himself who had permitted it and brought her along. Had anything…

- Chapter 117 Chapter 117. The Saint (5) Hector, arriving without warning, had a serious conversation with Penelope that lasted around ten minutes. "Haaa—" After the conversation with Hector came to an end. Only after he had left did Penelope breathe out the breath she had been holding. They had spoken only a little further on the fine details. The conclusion of the conversation had been decided from the beginning. She was to step back from Y&P Trading Company now. Something similar had happened…

- Chapter 116 Chapter 116. The Saint (4) Cecily, in poor health as she was, could not be made to stand in a long queue. For a family of the Rosemore's standing, it was customary to keep a villa in each region. Hector headed for the townhouse where Cecily would be waiting, both hands laden with chicken wrapped up in bags. A villa kept immaculate by its staff despite having gone long without its owner in residence. The sound of slippers striking the smooth marble floor rang out as Cecily came rushing…

- Chapter 115 Chapter 115. The Saint (3) Bell's death, the suspicion of Clarisse's connection to Dark Mages, interference that could pour in at any moment, and the stabilisation of CCC Franchise stores. The crises Y&P would have to navigate going forward were many and plentiful. But the Culinary Revolution still had a long way to go. While living in the safe house out of Bell's sight, there had been ample time, and Jurgen had been preparing the next item alongside Brigitte. It was Y&P's next…

- Chapter 114 Chapter 114. The Saint (2) The reason the Church's Saint Stella had come to Nortaris was not because of Cola. A Saint was on the idle side when she had no work, but she was not idle enough to come all the way to the North simply to conduct a Consecration on Cola being supplied to her convent. Therefore, the reason Stella had come all the way to the North in one breathless dash, not minding the long journey, it was because a letter had arrived from her long-time comrade Hanbin. And so, the…

- Chapter 113 Chapter 113. The Saint (1) There are times when customs one could not understand in youth become comprehensible with age. For Hector Rosemore, tradition was one such thing. In his youth, he had felt dissatisfied that birth order was the most important factor in determining succession. He had felt it unjust that simply for being born second, he had to join the military rather than the family's internal business. And beyond that, he had been indignant that barring a marriage, his children's…
