Here is the English translation of the Korean paragraph you provided, keeping the names and genders accurate and consistent:
“The scent of tangerines fills the air. I like it,” Kikojellia said, and Socor nodded in response.
“I wonder if we could get 2 gold for a sip,” Socor said.
Socor had a habit of converting everything into money, given that he had a poorer father compared to his uncle, the former Armenian Duke.
“How much is this, and how much is that?”
Money was all that occupied his mind.
“You still speak like a bourgeois,” Kikojellia said, setting down her champagne glass with a calm but slightly annoyed expression at his persistent mannerisms.
Socor chuckled as he looked at her.
“I enjoy living a life where I can have this every day.”
Kikojellia glanced around for no apparent reason and then spoke.
“Well, I suppose you would. But it’s been over a year now. You should get used to it.”
“Of course, I should. Whether it’s me or my wife, we should live like royals.”
“Yes, I suppose.”
“By the way, it’s about Ollentia. It seems she’ll be appointed as the judge soon.”
Socor didn’t forget Ollentia’s determined gaze. In the end, his cousin was going to preside over a court case.
They had to prevent the fact that she belonged to the Konggaru family from becoming known. If they conducted a court case, it would be very difficult to live with their heads held high in the Bonos Empire.
At that moment, Kikojellia, gripping the napkin on her lap tightly, said,
“Luxus Marquis will find a partner next spring.”
Socor tried to recall Luxus Marquis’s virtues as he spoke about him.
“He’s quick-witted and good at communication.”
Kikojellia laughed sinisterly.
“Yes, Luxus Marquis is a greedy person. So, he’ll surely delve into new businesses all over the world. Since the lord of the house often leaves it empty, he needs stability. That’s the lady of the house’s responsibility. Moreover, once he marries, he can take the young lady’s substantial fortune. Of course, he won’t be able to take all of it, but…”
Kikojellia planned to proceed with a strategic marriage using Ollentia’s substantial inheritance. She had already told Luxus Marquis that she would send Ollentia no matter what, and they would divide her fortune.
Kikojellia intended to invest with Ollentia’s inheritance, and Socor had no intention of giving up on that money either.
Although Socor felt a bit strange at the thought of Ollentia marrying Luxus Marquis, he agreed with his wife’s plan.
Socor, who had taken a bite of the avocado tartare served as an appetizer, said,
“It’s fortunate that Luxus Marquis is so infatuated with Ollentia. After all, he’s handsome.”
Thinking of Ollentia’s fair cheeks and fantastic platinum hair, Socor laughed lightly. His small eyes narrowed, and his eyebrows rose.
Kikojellia pursed her lips at the mention of appearance.
Here is the English translation of the Korean paragraph you provided, keeping the names and genders accurate and consistent:
“How many beautiful young ladies are there in the Bonus Empire? Lady Ollentia catching Luxus Marquis’s eye was just a stroke of luck. Luxus Marquis is the only family besides the Armeniaca that can rival the Grand Duchy. It’s a good thing for the lady.”
Kikojellia said so even though she knew Luxus Marquis was a wanderer.
Count Socor raised his head for a moment.
“In terms of status, yes, but it’s a fact that his reputation isn’t good. We should have a deep conversation with him someday.”
“Is it necessary to go that far? Bringing him into the family before marriage…”
“Is it a problem?”
“A problem. If there’s a problem, it’s the lady. Even her childish behavior and her tone of disdain. If I were a servant, I would want to step on her slowly. If I ever touch Luxus Marquis’s feelings.”
“Madam, please don’t speak so carelessly, even though it’s just the two of us. She’s not to be treated that way.”
Socor’s voice was quite firm.
Kikojellia paused for a moment and then put on a playful mask on her face again.
“I didn’t act like a countess for a moment. I’ll be more careful.”
“I hope you do.”
“Anyway, I hope Archbishop Werbu issues a special marriage permit for Ollentia before she becomes a judge. We’re in a hurry.”
Kikojellia’s heart raced at the thought of using Ollentia without hesitation.
Socor was in the Armeniaca Duke’s Long Gallery. The long gallery, a narrow and long corridor, displayed the Duke’s beautiful artworks, sculptures, and more.
The paintings and sculptures, depicting the exploits of ancestors with long-standing sacred powers, were magnificent. Many of them held sunlight or created white orbs.
Armeniaca meant apricot tree in Latin, and in the Bonus Empire, the apricot tree was famous for chasing away ghosts. Therefore, Armeniaca people often had people born with sacred powers. Of course, such abilities had completely disappeared about a hundred years ago.
