‘She’s his biological daughter, so it’s only natural that he would have affection…’
Considering the difficulty they had in approaching the Marquis until now, there was no reason not to be envious.
One of the nobles circling around approached with courage, holding a gun.
“It seems that the Marquis cherishes the lady a lot as well.”
“Viscount Sepeto. Come to think of it, you also have only one daughter, right?”
“Well, yes! You remember!”
Empowered by the Marquis’s acknowledgment, Viscount Sepeto eagerly brought his lady in front of him.
“Ah, hello. I am Leanna Sepeto…”
The young lady, who suddenly stood in front of the Marquis, introduced herself with tension.
“I think I can become friends with Dianne.”
Seeing the positive demeanor of the Marquis, the nobles were inevitably busy introducing their own ladies one by one.
“Marquis, this is my lady! She’s only one year younger than the lady!”
“Marquis, this is our youngest daughter…”
Every time the nobles introduced their ladies, the Marquis expressed great satisfaction.
Naturally, Daiane had prepared her face, thinking that he would like it, but she seemed rather perplexed, only rolling her eyes.
Misunderstanding Daiane’s reaction, the Marquis said affectionately, “Daiane, you can go and play with the young ladies.”
“Huh? Uh…”
“Yes, Lady! Let’s go to the garden together!”
The young ladies, pushed by their parents, awkwardly dragged Daiane away.
When Daiane reluctantly followed them a few steps, a loud laughter was heard from the entrance of the venue.
“Ahahaha! Otto Jajak is really something! Is that possible? If you find it hard to believe, I will show you right now! And look, the Marquis is also here!”
‘Now is the time!’
I followed the group of young ladies out of the venue. Slowly retreating, I hid behind the corridor as they gathered in groups and headed for the back of the hallway.
“Eunbaem, come out.”
[Sparkling? Sparkling?]As if Eunbaem had been waiting, it popped out of the bag. I took out a small gemstone that I had brought with me.
It was a magical stone that Count Repa had given me as a gift before. Also, it was the sparkling thing that Eunbaem had been investigating for the past few days.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I took it out, Eunbaem flicked its tail and emitted curiosity.
[Are you giving me that?]“No, not this one.”
Upon my words, disappointment flickered across Eunbaem’s face. Instead, I pointed to the inside of the venue.
“But someone in there has the same thing.”
[But, Mimala, you said I shouldn’t bring something that another Mimal has!]That was something I had said when Eunbaem secretly asked me about something sparkling somewhere.
‘Of course, you can’t steal it.’
But this time, the circumstances were different.
“Yeah, but not this time.”
At my words, a gleam returned to Eunbaem’s eyes. I smiled slightly and said, “You can take that one if you can bring it.”
“A mine.”
Having heard all the explanations from Phileen, Kairius tilted his head.
Aesilwood Jajak brought up the words he had thought of diligently.
“To be honest, since we’ve already received the investment, there isn’t a big problem with mining in the current state. However, who is responsible for half of the supply of magical stones from the mine? Isn’t it Hesera? Therefore, I thought that you, Marquis, would be the one who would show the most interest in the magical stone mine. So, I will give you the opportunity to invest first. How about investing in the mine business with me?”
“Well, nothing has come out yet, and why should I believe and invest in Jajak’s nonsense?”
“Yes, of course, you would think that way. Knowing that, I brought magical stones that I mined in my mine in advance.”
The nobles around murmured at Aesilwood Jajak’s claim.
“Did you really bring magical stones, Lord Aesilwood?”
Attention from the surrounding people was focused. Now, it was time to show the prepared show. Aesilwood Jajak ordered the servant he had brought to bring the magical stones.
“Do you have a gift prepared to give to the Marquis? Bring it!”
“Yes, please wait a moment.”
Jajak, who quickly received the box from the servant, opened it and presented it to the Marquis.
“Here are the magical stones I prepared to give to you!”
Silence spread around. Aesilwood Jajak only thought that the reaction was just the surprise of seeing the magical stones.
However, unexpectedly, the silence gradually became longer than expected. When an ominous feeling arose, a chilling voice broke the silence.
“What are you trying to do with me right now?”
“Uh, what? What don’t you like about it?”
“You’re putting down an empty box and trying to give me magical stones?”
“What? No way! Would I do that!”
Surprised by those words, Aesilwood Jajak nervously checked the magical stones again. But the Marquis’s words were true.
The magical stones that should have been quietly placed in the black box were nowhere to be found, and only the empty space where the magical stones had been remained visible.
“What is this? What’s going on? No, this is a mockery! Yes, yes! Did you dare steal this?”
“No, no! Lord Jajak! Absolutely not! Think about it! If I had stolen it, would it still be right here in this place? I would have run away immediately!”
Though I immediately suspected the servant, upon listening, the servant’s words made sense. There was no way the person who stole the magical stones would still be here.
However, he had clearly confirmed until the morning. Moreover, he had definitely checked when he arrived at this venue.
“It seems that to Jajak, I looked quite idle.”
The Marquis left coldly, warning Jajak as he departed. Even the nobles who had shown interest in the surroundings began to leave one by one.
“Well, I think… I’ll be going now.”
“Jajak, we’ll talk later. Much later.”
“No, really! I brought them! I really did!”
Faced with a situation he hadn’t expected at all, Jajak’s mind turned pitch black.
‘I can’t just stay still like this!’
The magical stones brought by Aesilwood Jajak were different from ordinary magical stones. He went to a corner of the venue, quickly took out the tracking orb from his pocket, and pressed the button to activate it. A young girl’s face popped up inside the tracking orb.
‘What? Is this real?’
With a visibly annoyed expression, the girl was seen smashing the orb with another stone, and the video was cut off. Aesilwood Jajak immediately recognized who the girl was. Anxious, Jajak shouted,
“L-Lady! Lady stole my magical stones!”

During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
