Mob to Duchess

Chapter 3

My health has regained quite a lot, and my beauty really does shine. No wonder all those lower useless princesses wanted to hide me. I have wavy orange auburn hair, which looks like autumn. My body had regained its glow that had diminished but to an unbalanced diet that had risen from poverty. My beige skin tone reminds me of those goddesses in some shows that I use to watch. My eyes are sharp yet soft if needed, while they are emerald in colour sometimes a slight blue could be noticed. But that is if you look very closely. My lips have a soft pink to them and are plum as well.

If i had awakened my memories before my mother got sick, she could have lived happily and without worries. But she had a deadly disease so I could do nothing. i guess this was all for the plot.

What I have now is money, but I have no power to help in case I end up colliding with my Nemesis, duchess of the black dragon. The king shouldn't be able to find me now, so I'm not worried about him. But because of the duchess to be, I have to make a force of my own. Something I found was that Spies in this world are terrible at their job. I mean seriously, I could spot them from a mile away.

Which is why none of them dared to come close to me. As I might be pretty, but I'm also pretty deadly. So I've decided I'm going to make a spy guild myself.

Now how do I look for someone?

As far as I can see, this can go bad, and my training is really harsh.

1 month later.

A month has passed by, and I have no suitable candidate. As I walked down the street. I see a woman who has been hanging around the workshop for about 10 days now. At first, I thoughts be wanted something. But she hasn't said anything, and each day it seems like she wants to say something.

Out of curiosity, I asked her coldly. "Why are you always here?"

"Do you own the road? Why can't I be here?" She says with anger in her eyes?

"Very well, then why do you look at me with such anger in your eyes? I'm not really kind enough to let someone do that to me." I say coldly

"I- I am not looking at you with anger." She yelled and blushed? Before I could say something, she said. " I wanted to work for you, and while I have minimal qualifications, I believe I can learn quickly."

I was a little dumbfounded for a second, although I did not let it show on my face.

I looked at this woman again while she looks like she is wearing tattered clothes. Her body posture is poise and alert. She should be around my age. she had dark brown hair and orange eyes. 'This is not a simple woman.'

"Why should I hire someone like you?" Everyone I have selected thus far has been women and gone through a good process for me to be able to let them work for me.

"I was a daughter of Earl Badji. I fell in love with a man and ran away with him. Turns out what he wanted was not me but money and after my family refused to help me or take me back, I have been roaming the streets, and then I heard about you. You are a strong independent woman, and I wish to be like you and help you in any way I can."

'Hoh. This woman can be useful'. But first, I need to make sure if what she is saying is the truth. "Come back in 5 days. I'll tell you if I have a use for you. What is your name?"

"I- it's Raven."

"Not using your family name?"

"My family has abandoned me, so I have abandoned that name as well."

She sure is mighty as most noblewomen will rather die than abandon their family name.
