[Episode 14]
“Yes?”
“Nothing else.”
“Ah yes. I’ll be back soon.”
“yes.”
While Myla was gone, I crawled under the bed.
Then I sat down on the floor, opened my bag, and laid out my collection.
‘I don’t know what the market price is for these things.’
The problem is that there are not many people who can entrust the disposal of this stolen property.
‘It’s probably because I stole it… I can’t ask someone in the family for it.’
While I was contemplating, I heard a voice outside.
Startled, I wrapped the wrapping cloth again and shoved the things under the bed.
“My lady, I brought some thin soup. First of all, after eating this and eating pudding, I eat something with a little more ingredients for dinner.”
“yes.”
Myla sat me down at the table and sipped the soup she had brought into my mouth.
After receiving and eating it, the soup bowl quickly fell to the bottom.
“Ah, my lady really eats very calmly. How are your cheeks so plump?”
Myla smiled happily as she wiped the soup off my lips.
“Thank you, Myra…”
“No, I am really grateful. I am enjoying this luxury thanks to the young lady.”
“Luxury?”
“You get promoted, your salary goes up, and you see such a cute lady every day.”
Thank you for saying that.
I’ve always been someone’s ugly duckling, so sometimes this kind of affection was a little strange.
‘As long as you listen carefully…’
It’s not difficult to be cute. He knew very well what to say to make the other person feel good.
“yes! If Myra can do it, I can do it too!”
“Aigoo, be gentle with your heart. Will you be able to listen to me in the future?”
Mayla asked, stroking my cheek. It was a strange feeling, but I nodded my head obediently.
“yes!”
“Then, shall we prepare to go to the Duke?”
“yes.”
With my permission, Mayla called the other maids.
“Hello!”
“Hello lady.”
“I will help you dress up.”
Three maids rushed in and greeted each other.
“Ugh well, make a bouquet!”
I smiled broadly and nodded.
I sat quietly and dressed resolutely. In fact, I thought I was dying because I wanted to move.
“How can my lady be so grown-up?”
“When I worked for another aristocratic family, we had to attract attention with all sorts of toys in front of them to really dress them up.”
“That’s right, I really want to raise a daughter like a young lady.”
The maids whispered in low voices.
You seem to think that I can’t hear you, but as I said before, my hearing is quite good.
‘Fortunately, my reputation is in good shape.’
The dressing up time was quite long.
Sometimes it takes 30 minutes just to pick out clothes.
As a result, it took an hour even for a child, and it often took twice as long if he was crying or whining.
‘I’m having a hard time too, but what about the other kids?’
But anyway, since I’m an adult in spirit, I was able to hold on somehow.
“All right! miss!”
“yes!”
The boring dressing up is finally over. I jumped down and stood in front of the mirror.
A pale pink dress similar to her hair swayed. The ribbon on her head adds to her cuteness.
After dressing up, I picked up the tiger doll lying on the bed.
‘Come to think of it, this was dirty then.’
The tiger doll was sitting on the bed quite fine.
“Let’s go!”
“Your lady.”
I headed to the Duke’s office.
“Hello, Muchin Knights! Come see Harabuji.”
Arriving at the door, I bowed my head with a broad smile, and the soldiers standing guard widened their eyes.
A polite greeting is a first impression worth a hundred points.
Then a soldier crouched down and met my gaze.
“Haha lady, did you tell us?”
“yes!”
“I see, did you talk with the head of the family in advance?”
“Uh, Harabuji told me to come.”
“Yes, please wait a moment. I’ll tell you inside, lady.”
“yes!”
The soldiers said something inside and then nodded.
“I think you should go in and see.”
“yes! Cheer up, crazy knights!”
I took a deep breath and entered the office.
“Is that the child?”
“That’s right… Erno-nim’s pastime this time.”
“…It’s a bright Ande, but it’s a pity.”
I pretended not to hear the voice that came before the door was closed.
Before coming here, it was difficult, but as expected, Duke Miriel was not alone in the office.
“Hello, Harabuji’s father.”
The two people who were standing in confrontation turned their eyes to me.
Behind Duke Mirelle was a cute little girl hiding behind Duke Mirelle’s legs with a frightened face.
‘For now…’
I jumped up and hugged Erno Etam’s legs and buried my face.
It’s like I was hired(?) by Erno Etam to scratch Duke Mirel’s insides, so show me some cuteness.
“Dad!”
“…okay.”
Subtly lukewarm response.
‘Are you interested in me already?’
Maybe it’s because of the proposal to adopt her as a daughter and knowing the heroine’s abilities.
‘…but that’s why I’ve already gone crazy.’
I was expecting it, but seeing Erno Etham’s attitude, which was actually lukewarm, made me feel a little strange.
‘are you okay.’
I was just a little surprised that it ended earlier than expected!
Of course, it’s better to choose a heroine who was born with everything rather than a creepy lizard-beast who can’t even help.
‘Because I would have done the same.’
Yeah, what do you like about me?
After trying to convince myself, I turned my head and looked at Duke Miriel.
“Here you are, fluffy.”
“…yes! A-ring, come.”
“There was a floating stone at the place you told me about. Thanks to that, business got back on track. Because it was a headache.”
“Hey Dahan!”
“And while I was away, I heard that something scary happened with him. I heard you helped.”
“Your father is sick, help him.”
At those words, I felt Erno Etham’s eyebrows twitch and look down at me.
I quietly shut my mouth so that sparks would not fly on me.
“Yes, I like the price. I believe that those who do a reasonable job should be given a fair reward.”
“Remuneration?”
I pretended not to know Then Duke Mirel rubbed his chin lightly.
“It simply means the right to wish.”
“Wish ticket?”
Just the words made my heart race.
“Tell me anything you want. If you want to inherit your direct family name, don’t do that. If you want to inherit a mine or a business later, that’s fine too. What do you want?”
Duke Miriel spoke at length about what he could do for you in a serious tone.
I didn’t worry too much.
In fact, there was only one thing to be gained from the Etam family.
He didn’t want a great business or a great building, let alone a direct family member who could be the successor of this family.
“Money.”
I folded both hands and held them out.
“what?”
“Give me money for my eunuchs!”
“money?”
“yes!”
“Ask for money? how much?”
how much?
To be honest, I hadn’t even thought about it until now.
After thinking for a while, I stretched out my palms and held them out.
“Bae hundred…”
“One hundred?”
“Yeah… 1 million roasts…”
“Huh 1 million roasts?”
Here, a million roast is simply one million won in Korean money.
[Input, Yang, each] The artist unified the unit with Korean money, perhaps because it was cumbersome to calculate.
Of course, I was easy to calculate.
‘One million won is a lot of money, but…’
Is that the case in this world?
‘Erno Etam gave me 10 million roasts, but…’
I didn’t know the price of this world well.
“Did you just say 1 million roasts?”
Duke Mirel’s questioning was unusual.
I glanced over, shook my head, and put one hand down and hid it behind my back.
“No, five or fifty…?”
“50?”
At this point, I felt a bit of a backlash.
Isn’t the duke too petty?
Contrary to my thoughts, my fingers folded two more.
“Seventy…”
It was a bit unfair.
Of course, it’s just that the future heroine was deprived of what to do, and it’s just that she sold the information she read the novel.
But still, I think 300,000 won is too harsh.
Even if you report it to the newspaper, the reward will be higher than this.
“Is that the value you put on your information?”
“…”
He held out his hand to me.
The wrist was filled with a platinum bracelet that glowed iridescent whenever it reflected in the light.
And my wrist is also filled with a small bronze-colored bracelet.
This is the pass to the bank, the key to the safe, and at the same time it served as the account transfer.
Platinum means VVIP and I am just a regular customer.
If you put the bracelet and the bracelet together, you can send or receive the desired amount to each other.
Even at the store, if you are a ‘Magic Tower Merchant’, you can pay directly with this bracelet without having to carry heavy currency.
Of course, if you do not have a ‘magic payment machine’ because you are not a ‘Magic Tower Merchant’, it is cash payment.
I hesitantly held out my hand with the bracelet on, and Duke Miriel put his bracelet on my bracelet.
Faaat-
A small halo of light leaked out and quickly went out.
“I think your information is worth at least that much.”
The halo disappeared and a hologram appeared above the bracelet.
【Deposit amount: 100000000 Lo
Total amount: 110000000 Lo】
100 million?!
My mouth dropped wide at the amount I saw for the first time in my life.
