To the market people, sugar peanuts seemed to be a rare crop. Stella, excited about selling an unfamiliar crop at the market, began explaining enthusiastically.
“It’s a sweet peanut. When finely ground and added to food, it gives a sweet and savory taste. It’s delicious even when eaten as it is.”
Stella explained with finesse, as if she were a seasoned salesperson, even though she had only tried it a few times.
“Really?”
“Ah, how can peanuts be sweet? I can’t believe what Rudina says, even if she says it.”
People were curious but hesitant to make a purchase. Darren, waiting for the right moment, took hold of the sugar peanuts and exerted force. A piece of peanut broke in Darren’s palm. Stella picked one up and chewed it, savoring the taste.
“Would you like to try one?”
As Stella extended another piece of sugar peanut, hands eagerly reached out. Eventually, after Darren cracked a few more peanuts and more people tasted them, sugar peanuts started selling like crazy. The counter was emptied shortly after they were displayed.
The time spent preparing to sell the crops was long, but the selling process was swift.
“Am I too late again today?”
Ian Blake’s voice was heard as Stella was tidying up the shop. At this point, it was suspicious whether he was deliberately coming late. Perhaps because Cookus repeatedly vouched for him, the man’s gaze didn’t feel as unsettling as before. He seemed more like someone with a lot of laughter and overly polite speech.
“No, you’re not late.”
The person most pleased to see him was Darren. On the empty counter, Darren had set aside a special bag just for him. The bag filled with sugar peanuts was quite hefty.
Ian’s expression noticeably brightened.
“All of this, is it all sugar peanuts?”
“Yes.”
As soon as Darren’s answer fell, Ian forcefully opened the entrance of the bag containing peanuts. Ian’s expression, upon seeing the bag filled with peanuts, brightened as much as someone discovering a bag of gold coins.
“Oh, what words should I use for a thank-you.”
“Just price them well.”
Stella said to Ian, looking into the bag and smiling.
Ian, who had tasted one sugar peanut earlier in the day, decided to buy all the remaining peanuts. He paid part of the fee in advance. As it was a rare crop, the price per bag was quite substantial.
Two Florins per bag, which was equivalent to two gold coins. Stella’s heart swelled at the thought of the bag quickly filling up with gold coins.
To prepare for any unforeseen circumstances, Stella decided to pay the remaining balance within the Moonlight Guild. The Moonlight Guild not only provided protection against unwarranted attacks, but also ensured that large sums of money coming and going would remain unknown.
Stella felt a slight pang of guilt, wondering if Ian had paid too much for the peanuts.
“Don’t worry. It’s a secret, only for ladies.”
Ian approached Stella closely, whispering. Stella shivered at Ian’s voice right next to her ear, unintentionally moving her body back.
Nonetheless, Ian chuckled and continued talking.
“I plan to sell a bag of sugar peanuts for 10 gold coins. So don’t worry too much. It seems like it will be a pretty profitable deal.”
Five times the usual price?
After hearing Ian’s words, Stella’s guilty feelings from a little while ago vanished completely. Instead, she began to feel a bit unjust, wondering if she hadn’t received enough money.
Stella’s heavily frowned expression, apparently amusing to Ian, made a subtle, chuckling sound, and then he left the Moonlight Guild.
Once the deal between Stella and Ian was done, Cucos approached with a thoughtful expression. He hadn’t forgotten to order Jack to close the guild door.
“Someone appeared, saying they want to buy… silver coins.”
Cucos refrained from addressing her as a princess, considering Jack, who was bustling around inside the shop. Knowing Jack’s character, who liked to boast, if he realized that Stella was a real princess, he would undoubtedly go around loudly claiming to be acquainted with the princess.
“Really? How much?”
Stella asked eagerly at Cucos’s heavily subdued words. Her heart raced even though she hadn’t heard the price yet.
Looking at Stella, who was visibly tense, Cucos, with playful eyes, spread out five thick fingers.
“5 shillings?”
Selling one silver coin to get five silver coins was thrilling to imagine. However, Cucos immediately shook his head, causing Stella’s forehead to wrinkle with an expression as if saying, “Surely not.”
“5 pence?”
This time, too, Cucos shook his head in a hesitant manner. There seemed to be a teasing smile lingering on the corners of his mouth, and he appeared to be in a good mood.
“Really?”
“5 pounds.”
“Wow!”
5 pounds. It was a price equivalent to 10 gold coins.
“Is that silver coin really that expensive?”
“Yes, it’s said to be a silver coin made in the early days of the Credion Empire. We need to investigate more precisely which era it was made in, but the value of this silver coin is tremendous.”
Stella was so delighted that she almost screamed. Now that she knew the silver coin was indeed valuable, she felt confident enough to assign tasks to Cucos without feeling guilty.
Stella extended the silver coin, whose value Cucos had verified and brought back, and said to him, “Find me a person. If you find one, the silver coin is yours.”

As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
