Chapter Index

    “Are Sena and Ishmael planning to get married next year?”

    “It’s already been 10 years since you two started dating. That’s normal. I’m just too late.”

    “Is that so? Anyway, what should I give them as a gift when they get married? I should go around and look for it in advance.”

    “Are you going out again?”

    “Yeah! Oppa, what did I see last time… .”

    Ada was excited to tell her adventures. Listening to her younger brother’s stories, Rupert was sometimes shocked and sometimes amazed.

    Especially the part where he fought a giant nine-headed snake, I didn’t know how to react.

    “Hey! That’s a hydra!!! I told you not to go to really dangerous places.”

    “Then what do we do? The townspeople are sick and collapsed because of that guy.”

    “Oh my, how can I stop this.”

    “Hehehe.”

    The two of them, who had been bickering and walking like that, finally reached their destination.

    “Wow!!!”

    “Isn’t it cool?”

    “Yeah!”

    When Ada saw the huge entrance that looked like the main gate of a palace spread out before her eyes, she started jumping around excitedly as if she had gone back to her childhood.

    “Brother, what is that!”

    “That’s a gyro drop. It goes up into the air in an instant and then comes back down to the ground in an instant… .”

    Ada asks, but before Rupert can even finish answering, she runs towards the entrance.

    Rupert was so shocked that he followed Ada and hurried towards the entrance.

    “Welcome. Welcome to Somerset Land, a land full of dreams and hopes.”

    Today marked the unofficial opening of Somerset Land.

    Since all the staff members who were supposed to work when the store officially opened were there working, Rupert and Ada bought their own tickets and went in.

    Ada is excited to wear a bracelet with the number 1 on it.

    It was a very special time with only Rupert and Ada as guests.

    ‘What my brother makes, Ada is always the first!’

    ‘Yes, we have to give it to Ada first, no matter what.’

    Since the two of them still hadn’t forgotten the promise they had made before, no matter what happened, Rupert was the one who would be with Ada the first time.

    Even Ada, who was out and about most of the year, would return like a ghost whenever Rupert created something new and be there for the first moment.

    “What is this?”

    “Hoohoo, this is cotton candy.”

    As Ada wandered around Somerset Land, food caught her eye.

    Rupert had laid out various snacks like an amusement park on Earth, and Ada began tasting them one by one with an expression of rapture as she looked at them.

    “This melts in your mouth! It’s so sweet!”

    “Eat slowly so they don’t steal it.”

    Ada, who was running around excitedly with cotton candy and churros in both hands, soon stopped in front of a jewelry store.

    Then, she started showing off several headbands she had on towards Rupert, perhaps because she found it fun to wear different headbands.

    “Buy me this!”

    “Okay.”

    Ada is now 18 years old, but she still looks the same as when she was a child.

    Rupert, who had previously wondered what Ada would do when she grew up, was now content with just being healthy.

    “Ugh!”

    “Eww!!! Hey! You’re not a baby anymore!”

    “I don’t know, let’s go!”

    Then Ada jumped into the air, spun around, and landed on Rupert’s neck like a feather settling down.

    Ada, who had loved riding Rupert’s horse since she was little, would often ask Rupert to ride her horse when she was bored, even after she grew up.

    Of course, even if Rupert refused, he couldn’t stop it, so now Rupert gave up and obediently gave in to the horse.

    “That’s the Merry Ground Hoon from Great Treasure!”

    “Not only that, but the thing next to it is the white horse from Snow White, do you recognize it?”

    “Yeah! That’s because I’m a former Snow White.”

    Ada began to chatter excitedly as she looked at each of the rides made based on the fairy tales and cartoons that Rupert had drawn.

    Rupert recalled old times as he watched the fairy tales and cartoons that filled Somerset Land, ignoring the warnings, and as he watched Ada excitedly chatter overhead.

    ‘When other kids come to Ada’s house, she doesn’t play with them because she says there’s nothing to play with.’

    Ada was the one who followed Rupert around all day when she first came to this other world.

    Of course, Rupert tried to be nice to his brother, but Ada’s response to his words about him hanging out with his friends and not just his brother shocked Rupert.

    So, this is the picture book I started making for Ada.

    ‘It’s not Ada! It’s Cinderella Ada!’

    Looking back now, the first fairy tale book I made was really crude.

    It was still Ada’s favorite book.

    Even though it was worn and worn out and had been repaired several times, Ada still never lent or showed that book to anyone.

    And Amelia, who I was able to meet thanks to the spread of .

    ‘Ada, become Snow White!’

    As word of the fairy tale spread, I came to my senses and ended up creating .

    That’s why I was able to meet Iolin.

    Besides, countless other works were started because of Ada.

    “Ada, are you happy?”

    “Yeah! I want to come here every day!!!”

    It was Somerset Land that was created for Ada.

    Somerset Land was a kind of ending for Rupert.

    Since it was the beginning for Ada, Rupert wanted to end with Ada as well.

    “You should thank Rash.”

    “Huh?”

    “Do you remember when you were so chubby?”

    “When are you talking about the enemy!”

    Ada was unusually flustered by Rupert’s sudden revelation of his past.

    “Back then, after eating something delicious, you patted your stomach with the palm of your hand.”

    “That wasn’t it!”

    “That’s right.”

    Ada, unable to refute Rupert’s words, grumbled for a moment, then grabbed his hair and bit his neck.

    “Okay! Okay!! I was wrong!!”

    “Housing!!!”

    Ada had always been the type to bite someone’s neck whenever she got angry, and Rupert couldn’t help but laugh at his brother’s unchanging behavior, even as he screamed at the bite.

    “Who prepared these flowers?!”

    “I did it.”

    “Do it again! Didn’t I say that color combinations should only use three colors: white, red, and blue!”

    “Yes, I understand!”

    Somerset Land, which is about to open, is busy decorating.

    “Thank you for your hard work, Baron Esteban.”

    “Oh! Baron Dumas, you’re here already?”

    “As a vassal of House Somerset, shouldn’t you come early to help?”

    “Hahaha. That’s right.”

    Esteban, who was busy giving instructions to the staff above, was very happy to see Dumas arrive early.

    “Saxony Estate, or rather, Ale Estate now. Is everything okay?”

    “Thanks to the help of His Highness the Duke and the Baron, I am adjusting without any major problems.”

    “It seems like it was just yesterday that Agora was opened, and now it’s a wedding. Doesn’t time really fly?”

    “Yes, really.”

    Esteban’s words brought back memories of something that had happened only a few months ago.

    -Revenge, shall we begin?

    The first thing Rupert did after being elevated to the title of Duke was to elevate Dumas and Esteban to the title of baron.

    The title of baronet was an honorary title, so it could be passed on without going through a generation.

    This was the signal for Rupert and Dumas’ revenge.

    ‘As an honorable noble of the Empire, I apply for Agora from Viscount Haxen!’

    Rupert used the Agora, which had been used by those who were jealous of Rupert in the past to bring him down, this time to bring down Schweinhaxen, Dumas’ enemy.

    Originally, the Agora was not easily opened because it required the consent of more than 50 nobles.

    ‘We have to work hard to bring them over to our side one by one over the next ten years.’

    The agora was a place where preparations had been made for this day since the moment Dumas ascended to the rank of baronet, and the Viscount de Haxen had no time to respond.

    Of course, even if there had been time to prepare, the result would not have changed.

    Rupert, one of the seven great nobles of the empire who can serve as the judge of the Agora, has now participated, no, he has become one of the eight great nobles.

    ‘Would you please leave the rest to me?’

    These were the words of Dumas, who was in charge of treating the losers as the winner of the Agora.

    It is said that no one has seen Count Haxen or his son Schwein since then.

    “But can’t you leave this to your employees? I bet you’re very busy these days.”

    “No matter how busy you are, you can’t leave the wedding preparations for Lord Rupert, no, the Duke, to someone else.”

    Esteban, who had become a baron together with Dumas, was now called the greatest merchant on the continent, beyond the empire.

    The Yuren Group, which pioneered the Western Continent route through Lambus, was growing like a tiger with wings.

    Especially now that every country on the continent has accepted Rupert’s work, it was only natural that the Yuren Group that managed it would spread out to every corner of the continent.

    Esteban, who has to manage not only the empire but also overseas businesses, is really busy.

    It was to the point where it was even said that he was the most difficult person to meet on the continent.

    “The Imperial Palace, Bluewell, and the Magic Tower. Our Somerset Dukes must not be pushed aside compared to those three places.”

    “Of course. This is my chance to repay the favor I received from Rupert, even if only a little, so I will do my best to help.”

    At first, Amelia and Xenia were strongly opposed to Iolin’s suggestion to hold the wedding at the palace.

    It was natural that Amelia and Iolin didn’t even listen to Xenia’s suggestion to have a wedding at the castle tower.

    It is a famous incident that the two women stormed out before Amelia could even finish saying the word ‘blue…’.

    The place that Rupert suggested to them while they were arguing over where to hold their wedding was Somerset Land.

    All three women dramatically agreed to Rupert’s proposal, but that wasn’t the end of it.

    With the royal family, Matap, Bluewell, and other celebrities from all walks of life in the empire, as well as guests from other countries, a wedding befitting their status had to be prepared.

    “Hmm… .”

    “Why? Is there anything about the decoration that you don’t like?”

    “That’s not it… .”

    Esteban, who was planning to make Rupert’s wedding more grand than any other wedding, suddenly became worried about Rupert after the wedding.

    “It’s something you have to handle yourself.”

    Esteban, who had difficulty handling just one wife, quietly prayed for Rupert.
