100 billion...

100 billion?!

Lelia was so bewildered and dumbfounded that she just blinked.

Please hand it over to Alchemy when the necessary compensation is ready.(☏•̀ᴗ•̀) * Your wish will come true soon!

"......"

Lelia hung limply on the sofa.

100 billion?

[From where do I get 100 billion shillings? It's not even a billion... It's...]

Until just a moment ago, she was so happy that she almost felt like flying in the sky. And now, she felt very heavy.

"No, this is not the time."

She didn't have time to be depressed. Lelia immediately wondered what to do.

The only way to get that amount of money is to start a business again.

To do so, she must return to her home country, the Superion Territory.

She had to come here because she had to get the other half of the holy relic and the medicine to cure her grandmother's illness.

"Because Griffith said he was coming soon..." Oscar will also arrive by the appointed date.

"Well, when they come, I'll go back to my home just by looking at their faces."
She will give Kalix a lot of painkillers and sedatives, deal with the matter in Superion territory and come back to see him again.

After receiving the final compensation and curing Kalix's eyes, she will save money by gaining other people's favorability.

"Ah..."

All these things were so far from happening that she was at a loss and sighed.

But on second thought, it was a blessing.

She can solve everything just by taking her time.

Lelia was seized with anxiety and uneasiness. She felt like a candle swaying in the wind, but her core was strong.

***

The next day

[Let's raise the favorability of Romeo and Kalix by the time the other friends arrive.]
That's why she went to see them, but their rooms were empty.

"Where have they gone?"
She asked the soldiers who guarded the area, but they answered, "I don't know."
There were no servants who passed by, so there was no one else to ask about them directly.

[I'll go for a walk, then.]
Lelia would rather go out for fear that Ruth might come again.

She was about to change her clothes and go out whenshe heard a knock.

No way.
Lelia opened the door with anxiety, thinking it was Ruth again.

But there was a knight standing outside instead.
"What's the matter?"

"Prince Cedric is in a hurry to find Sir Raymond."
Prince Cedric? What the hell is going on?

Lelia asked with a wrinkle between her eyebrows.
"What is he calling me for?"

"I don't know that either. I've only been told to bring you to him in a hurry. Let's go right away."
The knight was wary of Lelia escaping and responded in a coercive tone.

[Wait a minute, please.]
Lelia closed the door and took the medicine out of the item window just in case. It's a medicine she had used in front of the Emperor.

She followed the knight towards the residence of the princes. As she got closer, she saw a group of people in the large expansive garden of the Imperial Palace. Judging by their outfits, they all looked like nobles. The strange thing was that they are all men.
