With his small body, he was infinitely kind to the children, even though he was smaller.

“Well, it may seem sloppy, but I have a plan. Create a children’s scholarship foundation in conjunction with an orphanage and make regular donations to develop the image that you are contributing to society. And when the time comes, who will be the owner of the scholarship foundation… Nazar?”

A lady who loves money so much. He said he would forfeit not only the scholarship he received from the academy but also his own money.

‘I can’t believe there are people who say this person is an evil woman…’

Not long ago, one of the gang members kidnapped one of the gang members, causing a bit of a headache.

‘dare. They were saying that the young lady was a wicked woman.’

A very confident voice. There were even members of the organization who sympathized with him, and the distinguishing feature was that they were all from duchy.

‘Do not worry. I caught it at the perfect time that no one would suspect.’

The first thing the young lady said after founding Michelangang was the reorganization of the orphanage and the establishment of educational facilities. It was no exaggeration to say that at least in the duchy there were no children going hungry.

‘It took a long time.’

Nazar shook his head and opened his mouth.

“That’s a good idea. In fact, I was so impressed that I couldn’t answer right away.”

The young lady blinked her eyes cutely.

“…Isn’t it amazingly organized? The idea is to ostensibly do the project that was originally supported for later purposes.”

“I was thrilled to be able to see once again the lady’s compassionate and kind side.”

The young lady turned her head, fanned her hand, and spoke calmly.

“…Oh, no, I’m neither kind nor merciful. This is… I mean… that’s that! When children grow up, they all become workers. Just by providing the cost of education, 10 years later with a small salary, yes! It’s beneficial in the long run, it’s a slave contract!”

A smile appeared on Nazar’s lips. To that end, I will take warm care of the children who are worried about starving to death every day.

“Yes, I understand. However, the food to be fed to children must never be of poor quality, and it must be delicious and high-quality for anyone, even if not for the nobles, right?”

“Well, if you get sick, it’s a big problem. Rather, hospital costs are higher… .”

The young lady’s voice gradually became quieter, as if she had noticed something strange even as she spoke.

Then.

“Why! Are you dissatisfied? They say I want to do it?”

The young lady finally screamed.

That sight was so cute that I almost burst out laughing, but I barely held it in by pinching my thighs.

‘If you laugh now, she’ll get upset.’

It was a clear intuition that came from long experience.

And his intuition was correct.

“Do you have any more questions?”

Marian cleared her throat slightly and looked refreshed.

Her tightly folded arms showed her own sense of distance.

“We will proceed perfectly to your satisfaction.”

Nazar immediately realized that she was in a desperate situation.

“Hmm. Well, I’m looking forward to it!”

“How are you and the princess these days?”

“…Cecilia?”

A smile appeared on the young lady’s lips. Would she be so happy just by mentioning her name?

“Yes.”

Nazar nodded casually.

“Just. It’s the same.”

Because the young lady is secretly shy. I just said she was the princess, so why should I ask why she came to mind?

The girl, who was speechless, chattered for a while.

He looked like a father listening to his daughter’s complaints.

‘Let me help you a little bit.’

Nazar laughed like a fox. As much as I made fun of my owner, I was planning to make up for it in my own way.

He opened his mouth when the girl finished the conversation and was about to leave the room.

“Lady. There is a clever idea that will definitely increase sales in the west and east.”

Marian put her hand on the table so hard that it made a clicking sound.

“ugh. More than now?”

His voice was slightly crying as his palms shook from the impact of his weight being placed on him.

*

‘Ah, that’s embarrassing.’

I raised my head, secretly rubbing my throbbing palm on my skirt.

“If you really say this, does that mean I need to help you?”

“Of course. It seems like you’ve already done it a few times, but wouldn’t two people be better than one person?”

“What do you mean? Please explain in an easy-to-understand manner.”

“There are fewer customers taking out than expected.”

After hearing Nazar’s clever idea of how to dramatically increase the sales of my stores in the west and east, I fell into inner agony.

After listening to it, it seems to be true, but…

Even in modern times, marketing using handsome and beautiful women as advertising models is not uncommon, and if the target is Cecilia, who is rumored to be the most handsome girl in school…

“Umm.”

Of course, I believe that Nazar will not do anything to harm me or lie to me, but I have a feeling that he is planning something else… .

‘what… . Just looking at the reactions of the academy students, it seems like there is no one more qualified than Cecilia… . Above all, there are things I don’t want to do to other people… . Even if we think of this as an elimination method, it can’t be helped, right?’

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Which is correct?”

As I was walking around campus as usual, I was startled by a voice I heard next to me.

*

Cecilia felt good.

Not only did my plan to fuck my brother succeed, but I never thought I’d meet this kid as soon as I got home.

I wonder what that little head was thinking so hard about, but it was walking as if no one was around.

Fortunately, despite her defenseless appearance, it was somewhat funny to see the students moving out of the way for fear of being caught.

‘It’s not bad.’

Did I call it too suddenly?

She pursed her lips as she tried to suppress her anger.

“Cecilia.”

Then he looked up at himself with those clear eyes.

“With me. Do you want to go on a date?”

“Uh… ?”

Cecilia’s relaxed expression suddenly heated up.

“Ah. Sorry, I said it wrong. therefore. It’s a kind of advertising model.”

While listening to Marian’s explanation, Cecilia became strangely grumpy.

“Hmm. okay… . I see.”

“By any chance, no, sorry, you don’t like it after all?”

There’s no way I wouldn’t like it. But it is true that I was a little disappointed. It was the first time she had mentioned the word date directly. But there was another intention mixed in there. But, what can I say, I am so happy.

still.

“Then, Marian, will you please do me a favor?”

His round eyes seemed to have heard an unexpected answer, and he nodded, finding peace.

“Ugh.”

Cecilia stretched out her hand and hugged Marian’s waist.

“Why… ?”

“It’s like this, right? Are you practicing in advance?”

“Ugh. That’s right.”

The time when they had a sweet time. Esteban scratched his head, remembering what the nobles under him had said.

“What should I do? Your Majesty.”

Even those close to him seem to have no solution.

“How would you like to manage it?”

There were so many problems that I couldn’t count them all, but if I were to pick the biggest problem, it would be.

It was a mass exodus of the territory’s residents.

The fact that the emperor does not touch means that the lord is no different from the king.

To the point where they ignore not only taxes but even minor laws.

The country was in such a mess that even he, who had no interest in the people, could tell.

Meanwhile, this is a territory that has established a policy of paying taxes that are more than 40% lower than other territories and even providing subsidies.

“Cecil Aines. Is it him again?”

“Yes… .”

Esteban touched his forehead.

It was annoying, but it wasn’t just him.

It was something anyone could think of.

‘Yes, anyone.’

As if imitating him, all fiefdoms in each region implemented similar policies.

All are neutral nobles who are not under Esteban’s reach.

It was a problem that could explode at any time, so much so that it was surprising that it didn’t happen sooner.

He just covered it up because he was a noble who followed him.

“Damn.”

How can these people be the only ones left?

They were like bugs eating away at the country.

“Where is the biggest problem?”

“This is the Viscounty of Arlong in the north.”

“Along… . If that’s the case, isn’t it near the Duke of Ataraxia? No matter how out of control it is, even the chaos.”

“The Duke of Ataraxia is in trouble due to the succession competition. There is no time to manage other places by now. Above all……”

The aide looked at me as if he couldn’t explain it in words and held out a document.

“Lower taxes immediately, crazy! what? Early opposition ticket?”

Esteban’s hands were shaking as he quickly looked through the documents.

“Well, that is… Viscount Arlong, who became the new lord… This is a law that has just been implemented… Not only are the people of the territory deserting, but now there is even a riot…”

The aide closed his eyes tightly and continued his explanation.

There is no need to hear any more.

“Damn.”

Esteban slammed the table.

Even if you change your lord, you have to petition first. Kill the seeds of rebellion right away, if only to set an example. If you give that order, you will be able to suppress it a little faster.

No matter what happens in the future, we need to put out the urgent fire first. That’s efficient.

however.

‘If you are the crown prince, you should take care of your people at a time like this. I believe that you are not so immature that you do not know what the country is like now.’

A voice passing through my head.

The girl who always rejected him. Far from being kind, it was more like a sharp remark. But she wasn’t wrong.

“Assemble the knights.”

“What do you plan to do?”

The aide asked worriedly.

A few years ago, high-ranking nobles began to die one after another. The characteristic was that they were all people who turned to His Highness after the princess died. The incident, of which no trace could be found even after thorough investigation, stopped at some point, exactly when they declared neutrality.

It was from then on. Even the prominent families that had supported His Highness from the beginning declared neutrality.

The rest of the family now wants to get some bean paste from His Majesty.

Esteban jumped up.

“Behead Viscount Arlong and establish a new lord.”

“Yes…?!”

The aide looked blankly at the back with a pure white cloak fluttering around.

“This is the only way for now.”

Cecilia’s prediction was correct.

It’s just that the corruption of the lords was more severe than she expected, and as a result, Esteban had no time to devote himself to the romance business.
