Episode 107

The unsuspecting men flew like fallen leaves and crashed into the carriage wall.

They were lying on the ground and shaking.

Didn’t you hit them too hard?

[Last time I hit him very softly, but I couldn’t catch him…].

In a word, it was the sound of a power control failure.

Soon, the carriage door opened and Lily entered.

She was speechless for a moment when she saw the men lying down.

And she deftly pulled out the ropes and tied them.

It’s not just once or twice, they are persistent people.

Lily rolled them off tied to the ropes and dropped them from the cart. She went out and called to the gentlemen who were standing clueless.

Take them away.

The knights trembled in surprise when they saw the monsters suddenly appear.

Make sure you find the culprit.

Yes! Princess.

The knights dragged the men away with stiff faces. They looked quite heartbroken at having missed their gang.

«If even the Pioneer knights didn’t notice, I would have sent someone of a fairly decent level.»

He acted like a gentleman and finally, when cornered, revealed his true form.

«What the hell does he think of me?»

Ethan probably thought of me as someone funny because of my reputation.

Ha, even after losing my ex-fiancées to Tatiana.

It’s been a long time since I abandoned that image, but it didn’t seem easy to change the image he had of me.

No need for me to introduce myself and dispel preconceived notions.

Ethan will probably feel deeply how stupid it is to treat someone with prejudice on this occasion.

As I was leaving for the south, Filia made collaborative arrangements for me in the capital.

Unlike me, who had thought of a permanent store, she suggested a pop-up store upstairs that is open only for a certain period of time.

And I wish there was something more special.

At Filia’s words, we decided to launch a new fragrance.

I think it would be better to make a more popular fragrance.

The idea was to develop a product that would be easy to reach even for people who don’t wear perfume well.

I needed a fragrance that was different from the floral and citrus series, which were popular and simple in the past.

Karina is a spicy scent, so people really like it.

The two suggested several scents, but neither was satisfied.

I wanted something soft and fluffy with a scent.

To be precise, the fabric softener perfume that was popular in my previous life.

Lella, who noticed my concern, asked.

Princess, do you have a scent you’re thinking of?

There is a scent that comes to mind, but I don’t know how to describe it.

I began to explain the smell of fabric softener as best I could.

Like a soap… It has to be incense? It’s the kind of scent that comes from a blanket that has dried well in the sun.

Their expressions began to darken at my explanation.

Rather, I decided to give up quickly because I seemed to have added to the confusion.

No, I think we can proceed as we both think. After all, there are two experts.

At my words, Lella opened her mouth with a determined expression.

I will make sure to create the fragrance that the princess expressed. Just leave it to me.

I nodded my head involuntarily at those powerful words.

And today was the opening day.

Since it was the first day, Lily and I decided to sit in the teahouse in front of Filia’s cafe and observe the situation.

Lily’s face was a little prickly.

What’s going on?

It’s not a complete store, and it’s unsatisfactory because they don’t seem to trust us when we sign a contract based on trends.

At Lily’s words, I smiled slightly and comforted her.

From Filia’s point of view, I would have wanted to reduce the risk. And it wasn’t all bad from our point of view. There’s no way we would always succeed.

Lily was still dissatisfied with my words.

I smiled and opened the newspaper.

On the front page was a lengthy article about a seasonal stone mine found in the Savons Islands.

It was also written about the size of the reserves, how big the assets would be in the future and what would happen after I married Aster.

They go a long way.

There was also an interview with a magician who expressed concern about the current situation where the Imperial family manages most of the seasonal stone mines.

I flipped through the newspapers to see if there was any other news.

«Wilhelm left the knights.»

Wilhelm, who has come to his senses, has finally come to terms with who he is.

He was ashamed of his past and descended to the marquis.

With all his knightly honor and pride, it was as if he had lost everything.

Turning to the gossip section, there was an article that Andrew had returned to the Archduke’s residence.

«The tone has definitely changed.»

Perhaps, if he had been the same as before, he would have only written stories that criticized Andrew and favored Tatiana.

The Archduke, tired of the male bias of the Grand Duchess, asked for a divorce, but decided to meet again through the mediation of Marquis Liberty….

It was unknown whether or not Tatiana had returned to use the power of the bracelet, whether it was through the mediation of Marquis Liberty or not.

«Andrew hated Tatiana first even though she did not pass the purification process.»

Raymond also seemed to have escaped her distorted magic.

But he was disappointed with Tatiana and did not hate her like Andrew.

Wilhelm did the same.

Why is Andrew different from other male protagonists?

And how did she escape his brainwashing?

Miss, look. It seems to be open.

On a thoughtful day, Lily called urgently.

Professor Wilson, who recently returned to the academy, has been obsessed with coffee these days.

He had been to many cafes, but here the coffee was special.

Although the price was not very cheap, the coffee with a slight acidity at a reasonable price was perfect for his taste.

What I drink every time, please.

Wait at your seat and we’ll bring it to you soon!

Today he made his way to his usual seat, guided by the familiar face of the clerk.

It had been a day like no other.

Having received a cup of hot coffee, he opened the book he had brought and tried to concentrate on reading.

Well?

In Professor Wilson’s eyes, however, the sign next to the stairs leading to the second floor appeared.

The stairs behind the sign that read ‘Perfume’ were decorated with white cloth and blue roses.

After thinking for a moment, he put down his coffee and walked up the stairs.

At the top of the stairs, he could see a rather spacious glassed-in terrace.

Decorated with exotic plants and flowers from the south.

Even a table decorated with vines in the middle and a sofa that looks comfortable.

Like a scene from a fairy tale, Wilson held his breath for a moment.

Welcome.

An exotic-looking woman greeted Wilson.

Are you looking for something?

Wilson hesitated at the thought that he might not be the place to be.

Oh, no… . I just came out of curiosity.

If you don’t mind, may I guide you?

A colorful perfume in a pretty glass bottle was placed in front of him as he sat down.

The clerk deftly sprayed perfume on the scented paper and handed it to Wilson.

This fragrance is popular with men because it combines a light woody scent with an orange scent. His Majesty wears it often, so it is very popular among noble men.

Yes, Your Majesty? That…

Wilson’s face was even more puzzled at the emperor’s sudden appearance.

As if to reassure him, the clerk continued, recommending tea.

Don’t worry too much, as Princess Pioneer, an investor in our boutique, has sent you as a gift something suitable for His Majesty.

Ah…. I’ve heard.

Heard that it is fashionable to wear perfume regardless of gender among nobles these days.

Also the story of Princess Pioneer at the forefront of that trend.

Ah, this is the boutique run by Princess Pioneer!

Yes. This time, the coffee gave it a good shot, so I’m selling it on a limited basis.

Wilson hesitated at first, but thought he was familiar with the brand because he had already heard about it through the media or rumors.

So, would he like to keep testing?

Yes!

Wilson tried all the perfumes she recommended.

This is a perfume that is limited to our coffee this time. The general smell of…

The explanation given by the employee contained words that were difficult to understand.

But the moment I smelled it, I was sure it felt better.

The soft aroma that seemed to come from a quilt dried in the warm sunlight captured his heart.

If this is enough.

Wouldn’t it be nice to spray it on from time to time without feeling too heavy?

However, the perfume was quite expensive, so it wasn’t easy to decide.

Added the clerk, as if eavesdropping on Wilson’s troubled mind.

Now, to commemorate the opening, the 30 ml size is discounted, so why not give it a try?

A faint smile hung on Wilson’s face as he left the café.

He had a shopping bag in his hand that he didn’t have when he entered the café.
