Capitulo 108

Arc 12 The secret of the male protagonist.

Episode 108

Sales of the pop-up store, which I thought would sell well, exceeded my expectations.

Does it sell well among young people?

Yes.

As I looked at the report Lily had brought, I tilted my head.

Is the buying age lower than you think?

Yes. These days, the smaller size is popular with academy students.

Hmm.

The younger they were, the less resistant they were to new cultures.

Also, downsizing by reducing the price burden seemed to fit well.

And this is a special report he asked to deliver separately.

The report, which is not extensive, summarized age, gender and sales volume.

The product sold heavily to women, but the middle-aged group also showed significant sales to men.

Mmm.

As Aster began to wear perfume, the demand for it slowly began to increase, especially among noble men.

It breaks the preconceived notion that men don’t wear perfume.

It would not be a bad idea to launch a perfume for men.

Ms. Niveia said the same thing.

Now the perfume business is on the right track.

It will be fine if I don’t touch it.

I have to tell Niveia to take over the business in the capital from now on. I want to focus more on the hospital and resort business.

Yes, I will pass it on.

It was definitely a place that would have been better if not for me.

Had it not been for Tatiana’s interference, it would have lost its name by now.

Now, Niveia was without a doubt the best perfumer.

Aster met Andrew after a long time.

It was to hear the results of the southern inspection.

In the past, just looking at Andrew’s face made her stomach twist with a sense of inferiority, but now she didn’t mind.

It was a strange thing.

Just having someone who absolutely trusts him (Karina) can make a big difference.

My brother has been through a lot. By the way, it’s a big deal for the Grand Duchess to get involved in something bad, yes.

The human trafficker Karina accused was blunt, saying he did it alone.

He didn’t even open his mouth to the arduous questioning, but for the urgent, the Grand Duchess sent an assassin.

Of course, the dungeons of the Imperial Palace could not have been so easy to get through.

The assassin was caught immediately, and this time the Grand Duchess looked genuinely embarrassed.

But Tatiana quickly shook her head.

I don’t know, your majesty. All this was done at will by the butler.

He left the butler and the servant at once.

The servant, who did not see Tatiana, did not miss the opportunity and bit(accused) the butler.

It was an old case and there was little evidence, and the situation quickly changed when the perpetrator who had been caught pointed out the culprit.

In the end, the Grand Duchess was acquitted and released.

Aster regretted it, but decided to step back in response to the strange defensive reaction of the gathering of elders.

Tatiana is so kind that the people around her seem to have tried to help her in what she wants.

I knew she wouldn’t believe it, but Andrew had no choice.

The Grand Duchess is someone you don’t really know. When I remember what she did to Karin, she’s brutal to the point of being cruel, but in someone’s eyes, she’s an idiot who doesn’t know anything.

Aster knew that Andrew no longer loved Tatiana.

The love that had embroidered the social world as short and splendid as firecrackers had disappeared without a trace.

But it didn’t matter to Aster.

Karina had already chosen him and he had no intention of letting her go.

By the way, the two fought and even talked about divorce, so it seems they have reconciled.

Reconciliation… Is there anything else I can do?

Andrew’s lips trembled when he said that.

He felt his stomach twist at Aster’s question, knowing that he had even filed for divorce.

Karina was originally his.

It was he who first found her and shared his love.

I hope you two get along again. Bonds are precious in the imperial family, so it would be nice to see the nephews as well.

Aster smiled coldly, took a cup of tea and shook his head.

He looked like he was really worried about his brother, but he knew very well that it couldn’t be so.

For it was none other than Aster who brought his life to the bottom.

Although they were both born of the same father, they were inferior to each other.

Contrary to his seemingly smiling face, Andrew had already given an answer.

He would kill him and ascend to the throne himself.

And he would get Karina back.

For that, he could do anything right now.

* * *

I headed to the site where they were building a hospital to meet Sasha and Fio.

Sasha was sitting in the carriage and said she was feeling sick.

Fio was more relaxed than usual because it was just the two of them in the big carriage.

I reached out and touched Fio’s fluffy fur, deep in thought.

Raf’s neighborhood, where most of the capital’s commoners live.

It was a bit far from the place where Tatiana and Daniel built the hospital in the original story.

«Originally I was going to build it on the nearest plot of land, but…»

However, we chose this place because it is the best place for the establishment of a hospital for everyone.

[Are you anxious?]

I’m not particularly worried.

[I don’t know what, but when you’re anxious, you touch my hair.]

Whether it was because it was always by my side, or because of the gentle touch, I felt strangely relieved.

I always get nervous when I’ve just started a new job. I guess it’s because they always fall out or fall apart.

[Yes? I thought you were really good at it].

It’s because Fio couldn’t see the old me. At that time, no matter what I did, it didn’t turn out well.

[Is that also because of the power of the bracelet?]

Maybe.

Fio already knew a lot about the bracelets.

In case you knew anything else, I told him everything I knew about them.

Fio was surprised by the power of the bracelet, but his instinct was not.

Rather, he even warned me.

There had to be something other than what I know. Until I get the bracelet back and we break it, we won’t stop being alert.

To remove Tatiana’s bracelet and take her to the forest, the most important thing was to remove the original restraint.

I thought I had caught her in a human trafficking case, but things worked out with ridiculous ease.

The rest of the world was not uncomfortable with that fact, but I was not.

The generosity of the accustomed world saved Tatiana once again.

[Don’t worry too much. Because you’re one of the hardworking people I know].

The way she wags her tail as if to comfort him was like that of an unstoppable dog.

I smiled and stroked his head.

Is anyone else Lily?

[Yes? No, it can’t be! I think all humans live hard].

It was so cute to see him hold up his tail in shame and have her act like a puppy.

When there’s work, she goes with me, but usually Lily takes care of him, so it was natural for her to be affectionate with her.

Also, doesn’t Lily give Fio much affection, unlike the first time she was reluctant?

I will.

[Heh, of course not.]

This kid who bluffs without knowing anything.

I didn’t intentionally add any extras.

Here we are, miss!

When the carriage finally stopped, Sasha shouted in a bright voice.

I got out of the carriage with Fio.

Welcome, princess.

Robert was there to greet me.

Compared to when we met before, his complexion was improved and he seemed to have gained weight, so he was much more pleasing to the eye.

Long time no see, Robert, how have you been?

Yes, I had a great time. How are you, Matthew?

My mother’s fine. Allison’s helping out a lot.

Speaking of the current situation, we headed to the construction site.

With the help of wizards, the hospital was being built quickly.

At this rate, it can be completed by fall at the latest.

It is very fast.

I toured the construction site, encouraging the mages and workers, and handing out special rewards.

I added that the price will be paid for sure as the schedule is tight for quick completion.

On the way back after seeing the people who received their bonuses and were smiling broadly.

Princess, princess!

Sasha, who was waiting for me, ran to me with a pale face.

What’s the matter?

Duke Malphyrion has come to visit us in a hurry.

Daniel?

Yes.

When she looked back, Daniel was standing there with a slightly pale face.

What’s the matter?

The Cassels caught Sir Raymond.

How the Cassels captured the monster was unknown.

But that wasn’t the reason Daniel ran so fast.

Why?

The Cassels are going to sue you for being behind all this.

What nonsense is this?

The idea that Raymond, who was initially selfish in the first place, would listen to anyone, didn’t make any sense. I don’t know if it’s Tatiana’s request.

I don’t think it’s easy.

That…. Tatiana is going to be a witness for the Cassel family. Say Sir Raymond just listened to you and lost his place with the Cassels. They’ll say you were using black magic and were going to officially leave.

It was really absurd bullshit.
