Rishi didn’t think that Jarmet would easily agree. When she brought up Merthium, Jarmet lifted her head.
“Merthium transactions are not profitable because the trading volume is too low. If it’s known that we have Merthium, we’ll have to hire mercenaries to guard against thieves, and it’s troublesome…”
“What if the trading volume of Merthium is too high?”
“That’s unlikely. Currently, Merthium is…”
“Let’s start with 50 kilograms of Merthium.”
“What?”
“50 kilograms of Merthium.”
Jarmet stopped breathing, staring intently at Rishi’s lips. The look of ‘Is this woman in her right mind?’ was vividly reflected in Jarmet’s pupils.
In this vast Eldrond Continent, Merthium mines are not abundant, and the reserves are low. Rarely does any mine deal with over 10 kilograms of Merthium at once.
But suddenly, 50 kilograms.
Jarmet, who closely monitored international affairs, knew at least that the Green Countess didn’t own a Merthium mine.
“Countess, I may be just a merchant, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay for the Countess to waste time being teased by me.”
“Am I teasing you?”
“Merthium 50 kilograms. Even if someone hears it, it will sound like a joke.”
“If I don’t have 50 kilograms of Merthium, why did the Crown Prince ask you to meet me? To tease you?”
Only then did the Crown Prince come to Jarmet’s mind. It was indeed questionable why the Crown Prince had asked her to meet Rishi.
“No way… Is it true?”
“Yes, Jarmet. I’m not good at joking.”
“But, as far as I know, the Green family doesn’t own a Merthium mine…”
“You don’t know everything.”
Jarmet quickly shook her head.
Thinking about it, there was no reason for Iris, the guardian of the relic-holding Green Count, to call Jarmet, the owner of a small top, to mock her. Moreover, involving the Crown Prince was even less likely.
It was a well-known fact that the Pope had personally participated in K and Rishi’s wedding, giving them his blessing. Rishi, blessed by the Pope, would not openly do anything wrong.
“Is 50 kilograms the end?”
“Would it be like that?”
Rishi’s attitude was confident.
Jarmet swallowed dryly.
She couldn’t act hastily.
“Why… why choose me? There are many places much larger and more famous than our top.”
“Because I trust you the most.”
The simple answer made it even more sincere.
“I think you can sell it the best.”
With Rishi’s added words, Jarmet felt a surge of pride.
She wanted to surprise Rishi by selling Merthium at a better price than expected.
“It’s better to cautiously trade a smaller amount than to sell it all at once. If you open trades with other suppliers besides Matop, Matop will also be eager to raise the amount and the price.”
While Jarmet explained how she would trade, Rishi listened with a subtle smile. It was a smile that seemed to say, “I trust you with everything.”
After chatting for a while, Jarmet, who suddenly came to her senses, said,
“All right, Countess. I will transfer half of the management rights.”
Rishi gracefully smiled and extended her hand.
“Call me Iris, Jarmet.”
+++
Jarmet performed even better than Rishi had expected.
Not even two weeks later, a report negotiating the amount Matop would pay per kilogram of Merthium was sent.
2 gold bars per 1 kilogram.
A gold bar was 20 gold, equivalent to 20 million breeks in Breek units.
In other words, it meant receiving 40 million breeks for 1 kilogram of Merthium.
“As expected, choosing Jarmet was the right answer.”
In her past life, Viscount Witelo had sold Merthium for about 1 gold bar per kilogram. Even dealing only with Matop, after some time, they negotiated down the trade amount, and eventually, she remembered negotiating around 10 gold bars.
Rishi had no plans to trade a large amount of Merthium at once, and Jarmet had the same mindset.
The plan was to secure enough funds to carry out the planned business and, for the time being, stack Merthium in the warehouse.
It had already been two months since the wedding.
A few days ago, Tiolette, the designer, sent a bill for the dresses she had acquired for the wedding.
[Although I know that it will be paid by Viscount Witelo, I am sending it to the Countess as well. A similar bill has been sent to Viscount Witelo.]The amount on the bill was enormous. However, even more substantial than this was the amount spent on decorating the wedding venue and hosting the party.
Those bills were probably on their way to Viscount Witelo. Perhaps they had already been received.
“I’m getting a bit nervous.”
The gold mine that K gave to Rishi in exchange for selling Viscount Witelo was probably in operation by now. Since Globron wasn’t involved in significant businesses, there was almost no place where money would come out.
Rishi looked down at the bills with a cool gaze.
“Now, Globron Witelo. What are you going to do?”
+++
Globron stared blankly at the pile of bills on the table.
After Rishi’s wedding, everyone had left the Green Count’s estate in a daze after being attacked by the Lamia tribe, which resulted in them being put to sleep.
So, they had forgotten about the existence of the bills.
Dresses, renting Matop machines, decorations, food supplies, hiring labor…
The total amount added up to a little over 55 gold bars.
It was an astronomical sum, surpassing 1.1 billion breeks.
As a duke of the Gavizar Empire, Globron received an annual salary of 5 gold bars from the country. Of course, there were taxes coming in from the duchy, but he couldn’t use that money freely.
Even if they scraped together money from various sources, the Globron family could barely use about 50 gold bars a year.
Most of the additional income from the gold mine or other small businesses was also used to turn Britney into the Crown Princess, so there wasn’t much money left. Globron was waiting for the new year, anticipating the arrival of his salary and taxes.
In such a situation, he received an urgent letter.
To make matters worse, the mine manager sitting across from Globron was delivering shocking news.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
