How To Get Revenge On My Sister Who Stole My Husband (16 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 74

“Indeed, that makes perfect sense! With that method, we could dramatically increase wheat yields! I must send a letter to my estate’s stewards first thing tomorrow!”

“Please do, Your Highness. It’s also the perfect time for sowing right now.”

When I replied with a smile, the princess clasped both of my hands in hers and said, her face glowing with excitement,

“You’re a genius! Ah, how fortunate it is that you stand on my side and the Duke’s! Lately, whenever I think of the Viscountess, I can’t help but smile—it’s becoming quite troublesome! If I were a man, I’d challenge Viscount Leonard Klein to a duel right away! Or perhaps I’d secretly send someone to get rid of him before anyone even noticed.”

“…Are you bringing that up again? And please, stop talking about duels or eliminating people—it’s rather embarrassing to hear, Your Highness.”

The Duke spoke sharply, clearly displeased, and the princess burst into laughter.

“Alright, alright! I’ll stop. If I go on any longer, our dear nephew’s heart—just barely mended—might stop again from jealousy.”

“You really don’t have to give me gifts every time like this…”

Feeling awkward, I opened the box. Inside lay a deed rolled up and tied with a violet ribbon, and a silver ring set with a large pearl. I looked back and forth between the box and the princess in surprise. She pointed at each item with her index finger and explained,

“The deed proves ownership of a three-story townhouse located in the Riperton district just outside the capital. The ring is the signet ring Princess Liz wore before her marriage.”

“What? Isn’t Riperton the area where the royal family’s summer palaces are clustered? And this signet ring you yourself once wore…! Both of these are far too generous for someone like me, who isn’t even of the royal bloodline, Your Highness!”
