"No, I didn't get them back. I didn't have to get those cheap gems back, to be honest."

The baroness replied in a confident voice. It meant that she didn't have to pay attention to a few pennies of old jewelry, as she recovered her wealth in just a few months.

"That's very fortunate."

"And now is not the time to pay attention to those little things. I'm going to do my best to help him until his business stabilizes."

A spark seemed to come from her eyes to help her husband's business. It was a passion not found in the nobles who were already born with everything.

Mielle asked her with a curled head, "Is that so? But wouldn't your husband be okay with it? That's what he's been doing. I think it would be better to hire an expert."

As for Mielle, it seemed incomprehensible that she was actively helping her husband's business. She asked, "Don't you know it's enough if you are giving him a few words of advice to keep the mood in order? What is the need for you to do your best?"

"No, we've been working together so far. The expert may still be a bit far off."

The answer was as firm as the glare of her eyes. There was as much difference between wealth and power as there was heaven and earth, but there was no difficulty in expressing her opinion.

"It's interesting that you worked together. What kind of work are you helping?"

The baron's wife made an impassioned speech about her role as if she had been waiting for Aria's question.

"He's too busy with outside work to manage the internal affairs in detail. So I'm usually in charge of internal management. I'm handling the management and accounting of imported materials. It's not difficult yet. It's possible by myself."

She seemed proud of what she was doing. It must have been a great deal if she was really dealing with those things alone.

Aria replied with pure admiration, who realized they had not succeeded simply by her investing. "You're in charge of a lot of work. Since you are dealing with an uneasy task for others, your husband may be able to put himself at ease."

When Aria answered that question, recalling a book that had emphasized that people should be careful when assigning people to areas where the money would flow, the baroness slipped her cheeks.

"... thank you. Of course, as Lady Mielle said, if the business is more prosperous, then we'll have to hire."

"Yes, it'd better. Even if you can't help it now, you'll have to pay attention to your family. It would be efficient to leave the job to an expert then."

When her name was mentioned in Mrs. Baron's mouth, Mielle smiled with great joy. She was a woman who thought that aristocratic women should work hard to protect her family, so she didn't back down.

"No. That's not what I think, Mielle. I think it's a good idea for her to play a role in monitoring them even if they hire people later. She doesn't have to abandon her ability, does she?" But the same was true of Aria, who remained steadfast in the argument.

"Your argument makes sense, but... who takes care of the family then? Mrs. baroness should take care of it so that the baron can concentrate on his work outside in peace."

"The family business is of course important. So I'm not saying she should stay in business. I'm just asking her to take the watch. She has enough power to do it."
