Chapter 84 Eve Festival (2) “But from here, I can’t see all the way to the back.” From the terrace, parts of the market were blocked from view, so my shoulders kept leaning over the railing. “Look, there’s Leta and Morina!” “Where? …Ah, I see them. Looks like they bought candied fruit. Looks tasty.” Down below, Leta had been given rare free time and was strolling arm-in-arm with her younger sister. “You should just go out there,” Tiern said when I leaned forward for…- 3.0 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 83 Eve Festival (1) Meisel frowned, not fully understanding. —“It would be unfortunate, you see. If another disturbance happens, as Merchant Guild Leader, I could be blamed again.” Gelfry tapped his plump fingers on the desk. —“Of course, if, like last time, there’s some other unknown culprit, my innocence will be proven. Wasn’t it said a hooded woman was involved?” ‘Cause a disturbance at the lakeside market, just like last time.’ His demand was…

- Chapter 82 An Unreliable Husband That necklace was too valuable to sell outright. ‘But maybe I could use it as collateral to borrow some money?’ So, I took the sapphire necklace to the Barcot Bank in Goldrain. The bank director rushed out to greet me, and though surprised when I said I wanted a loan, he agreed without hesitation and handed me 150,000 coins—a huge sum. When asked if he needed to appraise the jewel, he waved it off, saying, “For Her Highness, that alone is proof…

- Chapter 81 Intercepting The three young women who had just been humiliated flushed red with anger and embarrassment. “Well, I’m busy, so I’ll be going. I have an important meeting soon,” Cecilia said with a mocking smile, then left the dress shop. Meisel and the two noble girls fumed silently, while the shopkeeper and staff wisely backed away. *** On the way back, Meisel said nothing. At first, the two barons’ daughters tried to chat with her, but since she gave no response, they…

- Chapter 80 Adoration Meisel stood in front of the mirror, dressed in a dazzling rose-colored gown. The jewels sewn onto the hem clinked pleasantly against each other, but she still wasn’t satisfied. “The middle looks too empty. I need more gems added.” Behind her, the two young noblewomen who had been invited sighed quietly. Normally, Meisel wouldn’t even glance at them—daughters of mere barons. But today she had dragged them along only to flatter her and play the role of attendants…

- Chapter 79 When the Name Was Called “Ah…” The Duchess gave an awkward smile, but Loic didn’t immediately withdraw his hand. If he didn’t sometimes do things like this, she might even forget that he was her husband. Only when her frown faded and her cheeks flushed red did Loic slowly let go. “Sorry. You looked upset.” The Duchess self-consciously touched her forehead. “It seems the Merchants’ Guild interfered again. They probably blocked Goldrain’s clerks from applying…

- 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…

- 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…
