It was a e0e2a02db2 situation that made 01c4b7043c me sigh involuntarily, c1acb50e37 but since I ce6c8bee95 had promised to 8fbca0cd87 keep the children’s ca443feda3 secret, I couldn’t 8b6c81c04d explain myself.7d33abcf8f6ab84a

“Alright, I understand. I won’t ask 2f81cebcde anymore, so stop f075c2a235 crying.”3b792ef82aa8125c

Perhaps feeling guilty 1e5ffdc997 toward me, he e272836947 spoke calmly as 6d29925640 he saw the cb12ba36df children sobbing again.ccf6608bc7537523

He then asked the head a6964372dd maid to bring drinking water, 1f03748549 a cold towel, ointment for 2728f75661 wounds, and bandages.0201da024ba28d43

Hearing this, I was e876ee3f71 startled and looked over db89b29126 the children.a77656f112566d04

However, Euclid grabbed my 91302da9ec hand as I was 9315bac0d6 urgently checking the children.dc4f303c9eafc09d

My palm was slightly 897643ef96 torn, blood seeping through, 8c7c43fa19 and it was red bd37fa56e6 and swollen.db0a95f087160c42

It seemed I had injured 9ba584d255 myself when I stormed out, 99b5d5d9c8 furious after hearing someone verbally a2e236f97d abusing the children, practically breaking 105d8bc5b5 through the wardrobe.82400cf6aec793cb

The children, realizing 472f3400e2 I was hurt, a321001735 approached me with 2913672167 worried eyes but 255b458470 couldn’t even manage f738432acd to apologize, just 6d192260dc watching me nervously.5ccbce508cf22358

Thanks to that, the cd1e8c8394 children didn’t ask why b136d0a94a I had come out 089df5d62c of the wardrobe, and 25193a30ed I couldn’t bring myself 8f8bdd8c12 to tell Euclid that 72830771a7 I had accidentally discovered f349fda5f6 a hidden passage.309bba94e545cd3b

Rumors spread uncontrollably, and ac976246af it became an established 067b1e518b fact that I had edbdab6539 scolded the children.ea004928cd53011b

Particularly because Amy, who used 5973cf9b40 to visit the duchy daily, a371298b5b suddenly stopped coming altogether. People speculated that I had 7b2b57c29e driven her away out of aeb26e4016 dissatisfaction and reprimanded the children.a13b60e722546817

It was frustrating 628ee2fba4 to be labeled c7451187c5 as the villain e375abbdb2 who tore apart c7c76cb4f0 a supposedly close b1e5e4e037 relationship between an 2d478b254a aunt and his 34c05f2ae5 nephews.23cfcd130d93f7ac

Even the butler, who had 89ab15c52a regarded me highly for resolving 2f539b2da4 the family’s debts, and the cdf562f02d head maid, who had confided ad4da85ec7 deeply in me regarding the c4d6bd8a86 children, now seemed unsure of a447f30cb1 how to treat me.4b842b085eebb364

And so, today 03cc15a7e9 as well, I c402ae8ad8 sat in my 5f6a1ee255 office, accustomed to ef8ec8c275 being misunderstood as 29d3f6f98d the “villainess.”51efc6f4b9f612e3

Delano, clearly overly 01b82175cc excited about what 57a38c76b6 had happened during b853bde86f his days with 7ae407a8d3 Anne, began to fd6ade8e73 report.27b8a5923fba847c

“It’s ‘Gold’! Doesn’t the name sound great? From what I found bc01cb9a70 out, it’s a guild f52ea63a9b that has rapidly expanded bef655b9c5 its influence within less 8e76ef4f04 than ten years of 1887847eff establishment.

“They said they’ve done business with you before, Madam. I might be wrong, 83d373ff34 but I think they d781c143a8 offered us a better 0df8489903 price because of you.

Anne, listening to Delano’s 23b81871f5 praise of the ‘Gold’ 6bd1d9eb07 guild, looked more than 3839b779ac proud, as if she d1a7b52d8f was personally being complimented.4c2083817e8ae854

Even though I should 88da856d54 have been happy that 62b791e355 my dowry was sold 073fc968fe for a much better a6bc818023 price than expected, I d14f6f10b6 couldn’t help but feel 3b85c8a11b like sighing.4dc1f81f133bb808

Oblivious to my 69199a2c58 unease, Delano continued df32f422cf speaking in an c5e709fba3 excited tone.53adf67648681940

“The vice leader of the guild is quite a bold person. They said that expanding their a8343f059e distribution network to the north 1b49fc76a8 might be a good idea, 1380111c33 and even suggested establishing a 78d232cb90 branch in the Rudeon Duchy, 3ad2ff5930 pending approval from their guild 55a7a83e81 leader.

I watched, dumbfounded, 1791bd9529 but both Euclid, f719a35324 who was listening, bb9e6be8e9 and even Delano d3044a976f answered with faces 06f7c9b257 free of any 849df244c5 doubt.2084ea89c4e3ab0f

“Yes! If things go 3f261bd92d well, not only 8b9b6e15e6 could the Basilian bf725914fb Merchant Guild establish 4e170f6eb3 itself in the b6e0a29727 North, but the 57120c6863 Gold Merchant Guild 859fe1f367 might also secure a952af63a0 a foothold here.

Delano’s face was beaming with a31ceeb57e a wide smile.d52a939dacae31fb

He seemed to predict 68a7cb9754 that the introduction of 9ab029c26c another merchant guild besides d8a01da561 Basilian would help stabilize ccf1b1655d the market prices he b625d011db had been worried about.0c146dbc7a0b65ad

“To be honest, as soon as I arrived in the capital, I was planning to visit the Basilian Merchant Guild first. But thanks to Madam’s maid, b523c6bc40 I avoided making a foolish 5b856814c6 mistake.
