It is something that those living in that era would never know, but the history of the end of the Arsul Dynasty has enjoyed tremendous popularity to this day due to the dynasty on the verge of collapse, talented people who appeared like comets, and fierce competition among them. Movies and dramas based on the history of this era have been huge box office hits, and there are even games that are re-released with different numberings every once in a while when they are almost forgotten. Let me summarize it simply.

But could Christie, who was only about twenty-four at the time and fearful of the judgment of future generations, have ever imagined that she would one day become a figure of conflicting evaluations and a cult figure because of her man-traveling, eventful life story, and the various incidents she caused?

On top of that, at this very moment, in front of the other merchants, he had been pretending to be Chloe’s close friend and sister for an hour, which was not in his destiny.

Growing up as the only daughter of the Abbott family before inheriting the Juaron family name, she watched her family slowly decline as she grew up, and she hated it when her plans were ruined by unexpected circumstances. She also didn’t like the fact that Chloe kept shoving that disgusting lump of chest fat towards her.

“So one time, heh heh, I went to a store after drinking a lot and I was sitting there with a red face pretending not to be drunk, and then this guy suddenly got up and bowed his head in front of a broom that was standing on the side of the road! He said, “Come on~.” ”

“Ahahahahaha!”

As Chloe laughs and shakes her shoulders at the merchant’s story, Christie’s shoulders also shake as she is pulled by her strong arms. However, Christie only shows a forced smile and barely suppresses her boiling insides.

She thought it was foolish and foolish to leave one’s body to external factors and let someone else decide one’s future. She absolutely did not like the way the merchant, who always told such a thrilling story as if it was funny, and Chloe, who belonged to a military organization that should value conduct and principles, laughed and said such a trivial story.

It was good that everything was in its place. Change had to be predictable and self-directed. Again, Christie was extremely wary of being in a situation she couldn’t control. After all, the reason she was wasting her time with these miserable people in a place like this was because she had let her guard down. She shouldn’t have been tempted by a married man who was obsessed with sexual frustration. That wasn’t something that could happen in the open. It was clearly a genetic defect that the siblings lacked self-control as a pair.

“Hahaha, my stomach hurts. Oh, my stomach hurts. How long has it been?”

Chloe wipes away the tears that are streaming down her face with her fingers, whether or not she knows what Christie is thinking, and asks, pointing to the merchant’s stomach with her chin.

“It’s been about six months! I’m moving around a little bit now and then.”

A woman who answers cheerfully, stroking her lower abdomen as if she had been waiting for me to ask her.

“Is it your first? I was thinking about having one too. I’m newly married and can’t see my husband’s face often because of work… … .”

Chloe said, showing the ring on her hand. Chloe trailed off when Christie nudged her side with her elbow as if to tell her to stop talking.

“First. Well, this is the third time the kid has come to see me.”

Chloe nods to the merchant’s words. Given the times, it was a rather bland reaction. As it wasn’t a pleasant story, Chloe doesn’t say anything in particular.

“But this time, the son of a proper family is the father! So it would be good for everyone to be at the top. If you plan to continue doing business like this! You will have less to worry about, your income will be stable and steady, and thanks to that, you will be able to find a good groom. Isn’t that good?”

As she spoke, she glanced at Christie as if she knew it would sound like a tempting suggestion. Christie found her knowing attitude annoying, but decided to nod appropriately. Of course, it wasn’t like Christie had any particular aversion to the sacred duty given to women in this world, namely marriage and procreation for the sake of the species.

The more she took, the more she feared losing it. Christie thought it was crazy to make a contract based on trust with a man who had no concept of loyalty. If she had to get married, if she had to fulfill her duty of childbirth, then it had to be a man who would never betray her, no matter what. Of course, he would betray her sometimes.

Christie had once expressed this belief to others, but she had only received a less than pleasant response, so she decided to keep her mouth shut. After all, extraordinary thoughts are difficult for those who are not extraordinary to accept.

“Instead of us being in the dark about complicated tax rate calculations, we will take care of calculating taxes for you, and we will also share useful information. Compared to when you run a business on your own, there are many things you have to do outside of business, so that part is a bit annoying… .”

“Oh, hmm. Joan. In front.”

A woman who had been riding silently alone in the driver’s seat interrupted her pregnant colleague. It was the woman who had said she had greeted the broom.

From here, Arlix Manor

Joan turned her head and scanned the writing on the sign, then straightened her heavy back and began searching through her luggage for the pass that must have been mixed in.

“I had to pay a toll, right? How much is it?”

“I don’t know. Oh, if you pay regular premiums to the top, they will issue you a toll exemption ticket like this.”

Joan answered Chloe, holding up a piece of paper scribbled in a stiff handwriting. Chloe poked her head out and frowned, trying to read the words written on the paper, but gave up, using the shaking of the carriage as an excuse, and took out the sack containing her travel expenses from her bosom.

Christie had a fleeting suspicion that perhaps Joan’s colleague had been trying to stop her from revealing some kind of secret, just as she had done to Chloe, but as soon as they paid the toll and passed through the manor, an even larger number of carriages and merchants began to gather in their direction, so she didn’t have time to think it through, and decided to let it go.

“Wow… … . What kind of animal did you catch?”

“Whale~ If it’s such a large specimen, I should bring the lords who would die from hunger.”

“That thing is huge.”

Merchants walking along the street gathered together and began to gossip among themselves.

“Oh, here. We’re new here from Fraua. I heard you’re serving liquor! I talked to you on my way here, so everyone, say hello!”

Joan shouts loudly, pointing at the carriage being pulled by Chloe. The merchants’ eyes instantly turn to this direction.

“Hello! I’m Betty, twenty-seven years old. I work in wood and sometimes minerals.”

“Let’s go to Meladi, a herbal medicine store. Even though it looks like this, there aren’t that many business opportunities, so let’s get along without worrying about it.”

“Hi, my name is Amanda. I’m a small livestock person. Do you have a sale area in the western region? See you often!”

In any case, it was obvious that she would have to rub elbows with these stupid faces for a while in order to safely reach the woman named Zanne, so instead of freezing the mood, Christie decided to continue the conversation with Chloe, linking arms with a cheerful expression.

Fortunately, there is no record in any of the documents that Christie Joarron, the woman who would eventually come to be remembered as the tyrant who succeeded Uriel and put an end to the long Arsul dynasty, was ever surrounded by mediocre merchants.

And if we go back to Maybaon and look at Ray’s case, later on in this world, when steam engines were invented and factories began to mushroom, if it weren’t for the document discovered by construction workers digging the ground, it’s possible that no one would have remembered the childhood of Ray Enel, who was reincarnated from Earth.

The document, which was quite voluminous, had the name Kyle DeBroglie on the cover and a small warning that read, “Do not read by anyone other than myself.” Here is an excerpt from the section about Ray:

I really want to eat it. If only it weren’t for my master’s companion, I would have just eaten it.
