Being trapped in the Portrion mansion, and still moving people outside to devise a massive plan, it would have been interesting to see how far he would rise if he regained his memory.
“Walter. Since recovering the memory seems difficult anyway, shall we break into the Count’s place and kill the Count and his wives? Then we can advance our plan, and I can break the magic that binds you to the mansion.”
Cassius offered his own comfort.
Then Walter, who was silently sipping his liquor, answered.
“That won’t do. The deal proposed by the Fourth Lady is quite attractive.”
“Fourth Lady?”
“Edith.”
Cassius felt a momentary sense of incongruity. It was the first time Walter had shown interest in a woman, even calling her by name.
(This is a time separator.)
The next day, Sophia kept her promise and called the costume room staff for Edith. Edith knew why she kept her promise.
“Edith. We’ll have lunch with the other ladies tomorrow. The second and third wives are very fussy, so it’s best to prepare perfectly.”
‘Even the appearance must be dressed as a noble lady, which will be advantageous to Sophia.’
But knowing her intentions didn’t mean she would bite the designers.
“How about this design? I can tailor the waistline to fit your body.”
The designers quickly showed Edith the items they brought. If the other party was a noble, they could sell readymade products with a little extra money.
“That’s fine. I’d like to buy all the things I’ve just seen. I need to try different things to distinguish what suits me.”
Since Sophia was going to pay, Edith expressed her intention to purchase without hesitation. The more flashy dresses, the better. The gems on the dresses would later become her personal funds. The more secret the act, the more money was needed.
Moreover, buying luxury goods with an enemy’s money was quite pleasant.
If she saw Sophia’s mouth twitching with annoyance, it would seem like she could breathe for a while. She picked out a few more pieces of jewelry, imagining Sophia’s crumpled face.
Thanks to this, the costume room staff became even more friendly.
With her excitement and sycophantic flattery, Edith was able to hear a little bit about the outside world as well. With Sophia’s money, she got emergency funds and information, so her lips naturally curled up.
(This is a time separator.)
Some time later, Sophia, who had finished her work and returned without any particular thought, looked at the items Edith had bought and froze.
The pile that looked like a mountain was worth at least several tens of gold.
“Sophia, thank you. I picked as hard as I could to look as much like the Fourth Lady as possible. What do you think?”
When Edith whispered in a small voice, Sophia’s expression crumpled even more in her brows. Mocking me with an innocent face.
“Edith, I’m glad you liked the things from the costume room.”
Sophia flashed a generous smile that everyone could see, then added quietly so only Edith could hear.
“You’ve done this much, so you must proceed with the plan quickly.”
“I know well. Call the costume room staff and thank them again, Sophia.”
After sending the costume room staff away, Sophia patted Edith’s back, saying that a walk in her newly purchased dress would refresh her mood.
‘The excuse is to see the selfwriting, but she actually wants to set me up with a man.’
The fact that the contraceptive effect of the onebicus flower still remained was not important. Edith felt every hour that she needed to escape from here as soon as possible before anything bad happened.
“It’s Hans, the stableman who has come to attend to the lady.”
“…….”
In that sense, the fact that a man other than Walter came to pick her up was nothing short of a big crisis. Hans was a man who had been stopped by Walter when he tried to lay his hands on me on Sophia’s orders, all the more reason.
“You don’t have to worry with that look. Walter sent me. I’m not stupid enough to defy that boy’s words when my steppedon hand hasn’t even healed.”
Hans spoke without regret, but Edith didn’t want to mingle with him.
“I’ll walk instead of riding a horse.”
“Do as you please, madam.”
How reluctant was the step she took following Hans.
“It will be difficult to mount a horse in that outfit.”
Edith was purely glad to hear Walter’s gloating voice. Walter signaled Hans to come in, then took the reins of the horse.
“I was worried about what to do if another man came out leading the horse.”
Walter looked at her as if time had stopped for a moment and then replied.
“You are more beautiful than last time.”
“Sophia called the costume room people. She said I have to prepare for Thanksgiving.”
Is it suspicious that I dressed up and looked at me like this? Edith felt a little embarrassed by herself, who had been all dressed up with Sophia’s money.
“Anyway, I came to hear that the madam will give me freedom, so please let me know if you change your mind in the meantime.”
“That means…….”
“I will do it, a deal.”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
