As Rang made his way back from the garden, he came across a familiar figure. Yuri, was there, as always, looking eager and slightly anxious.

"Master Sang-bum!" Yuri hurried over, her eyes wide with concern. "Are you alright? You left breakfast so quickly; I was worried."

Rang offered a small smile. "I'm fine, just needed some fresh air."

Yuri's shoulders relaxed, but she continued to hover close. "If there's anything you need, anything at all, please let me know. I'm here to help you, always."

Rang chuckled inwardly at Yuri's dedication. It was endearing, in a way. "Actually, there is something you can help me with."

Yuri perked up immediately. "Anything, Master Sang-bum!"

Rang thought for a moment, considering how best to approach the idea that had been simmering in his mind. "Tell me, how difficult would it be to obtain luxury goods from faraway lands? Things like spices, fine silk, or rare gemstones?"

Yuri blinked, surprised by the question. "It's... not easy, Master. Such items are usually brought by merchants who travel the Silk Road or other dangerous routes. They're expensive and hard to come by, which is why they're so highly valued."

Rang nodded, his mind already working on the possibilities. "What if there was a way to get these goods more reliably, perhaps even in larger quantities? Do you think there would be a market for that?"

Yuri's eyes widened with realization. "You're thinking of starting a business, Master?"

Rang smiled. "Something like that. I've been considering how to secure our future, and I think this could be a profitable venture."

Yuri nodded enthusiastically. "That's brilliant, Master Sang-bum! If anyone can make it work, it's you. I'll do whatever I can to help, but why do we need to do it? the duke has so much money and as his husband you can always have it."

" Because," Rang trailed off as he thought ' I don't have much time left, after Ji ah enters the scene, i will be kicked out in no time, it wouldn't be good as the Kims will not take a divorced son who was abandoned by his husband in. ' " cause if one day Duke decided to kick us out we will have our own wealth to relay on." 

Yuri's face fell at that but soon she regained her cheerfulness " Don't worry Young master I'll always be will you through life and death."

As Yuri prepared to leave to start gathering information, another knock came at the door. Rang glanced up to see a tall, impeccably dressed man enter the room. He wore a formal uniform that marked him as someone of high status.

"Master Sang-bum," the man said with a bow, "I am Shin Joo, the Duke's personal butler."

Rang studied him, noting the butler's polished demeanor. "i know, Shin Joo. So what do you want?"

Shin Joo's expression was polite but reserved. "I've been assigned to assist you with your transition into this new role."

Rang raised an eyebrow but did not press further. "I appreciate your presence, Shin Joo. but i don't need you."

Shin Joo ignored Rang's impoliteness . "I will leave you to your tasks then. If you require anything, please let me know."

With that, Shin Joo made a courteous exit, leaving Rang alone in the room. Rang watched as the butler disappeared down the corridor, his mind already shifting back to his plans.

With Shin Joo gone, Rang turned his focus back to his business ideas. He began outlining the details of his luxury goods venture, jotting down ideas for sourcing products, identifying potential markets, and considering ways to make his business stand out. He also made a mental note to keep his interactions with Yuri discreet, so as not to draw too much attention.

 Despite the watchful eyes and the challenges ahead, he was determined to make his mark in this world. With Yuri's help and a carefully laid plan, he was ready to turn his innovative business idea into a reality.

As Rang glanced out the window, he saw Shin Joo's figure moving off in the distance, heading away from the estate. It was clear that the butler's presence would be a constant factor in his daily life, though he was now free to work without immediate scrutiny.

 This was just the beginning of his new life—a life where he could finally take control and shape his own destiny. And he was enjoying in this fiction world. Though Rang's personality was not much different from Sang-bum's, the only difference was that Rang was a brain psycho machine though a loner.
