Chapter 62

***

Today is the day to present the scrolls.

The first place I thought of for the presentation was the Ruby Palace in the Imperial Palace.

The Ruby Palace was used for important banquets by high-ranking aristocrats with the permission of the royal family, but unfortunately, it was under construction for new renovations and could not be rented.

Instead, the queen indicated another direction.

"We're having a charity party at the Marquis Cherish's estate this time, so why don't you present it there?

The Cherishes were a family of the Queen.

Since they had a great deal of influence in the empire, many powerful nobles were sure to come.

It was certainly not a bad proposition.

However, as the Queen is politically opposed to Reynos, I also asked Reynos for his opinion in advance because it could cause an unexpected misunderstanding.

"I'll find another place if you're uncomfortable.."

"I'm fine, so do as you want, my lady."

Reynos seemed really fine when he said it.

Eventually, I decided to accept the Queen's offer.

'The highlight of the charity party, announcing the scroll at the charity auction.'

Only the emperor, the empress, and Marquis Cherish were informed about the scroll. It was to be a dramatic announcement.

Although it was well known by the cheap-lipped Marquis Cherish, who boasted that she was going to announce something amazing at a charity party.

I decided to throw away the extent of the smoke to attract even more guests.

'I'd appreciate it if you'd promote it like that.'

"Thank you for the invitation, Marquise Cherish. It really is a lovely party."

"Your compliments are very much appreciated. I can't tell you how happy I was when I heard that you would be attending."

Marquise Cherish frowned one eye. She also gave a bright smile to the Leather who had followed me to the party.

"It's nice to see you like this, Raz."

Raz was Leather's pseudonym for the merchant group Luminous.

Yes, Leather, who was not familiar with the aristocratic culture, responded vaguely.

"With today's meeting, I hope Cherish and Luminous will maintain a close relationship. Like Lady Ciella."

"Yes..."

"I heard that you have been looking for talented people to sponsor at Luminous recently. I'd like to sponsor someone with you if you have a good candidate. Or maybe you would like to invest in our mining business-"

Marquis Cherish, who wanted to hang her leg on Luminous, prodded eagerly.

Leather, who was not immune to noble ladies, only broke out in a cold sweat. As he did so, his eyes met mine, and he smiled soundlessly.

'Oh, please help me.'

'Yeah, no,'

I winked.

'There will be a lot of things like this in the future, so shouldn't you adjust?'

I left Leather behind. Don't call me heartless. Lions push their cubs from the precipice to raise them.

In the empty position left by my departure, a group of nobles, eager to make a connection with Luminous, rushed in.
