“I apologize. Even after searching everywhere from the Duchy of Blanchet to the capital, this was the best we could do.”

The exclusive maid seemed to think my reaction was lacking.

“Since the master has reserved all the famous dress shops, we can now fill them with clothes that suit your level and taste.”

In addition, Johan prepared everything from dresses to jewels, famous works of art, and sculptures.

It was clearly felt that everything was perfectly prepared.

‘Johan started by making money, so…’

It seems there’s a lot of money rotting away.

But Johan’s overspending didn’t stop there.

“When you go to the ducal residence, there will be new dresses tailored to fit you.”

“…That will surely spread rumors in the capital.”

If you buy this many dresses, of course, gossip will spread like wildfire in the social circles.

‘I can see what everyone is saying.’

The best assessment would be that Libertan’s fake is being sold.

“Don’t worry about such things. It’s too precious a time for that.”

“Right, what’s important is not that.”

“This time when you go, there will be a high priest to heal you.”

I was greatly surprised at the words “high priest.”

“A high priest…?”

“The archbishop is most likely to come.”

Johan has a very bad relationship with the temple.

It’s because there were traces of the temple’s involvement in the destruction of the Blanchet Duke’s family.

‘And yet, you called them?’

And that’s for me.

And the archbishop, a high priest, is only one of three in the entire kingdom and empire.

“How could you possibly call them?”

“I had to comply with the temple’s request. I just happened to be able to give them a region they needed from me. So, the conversation was easily resolved.”

Johan spoke as if it were nothing.

‘There’s no way a highranking figure would move to an ordinary place.’

He must have spent a lot of money or something.

‘Ah, it feels like such a waste.’

It wasn’t my money, but I felt a great pity for spending that much on something that didn’t even hurt me.

Johan asked me cautiously, seeing my reaction.

“Is there a problem with a high priest coming from the temple?”

“No. Nothing like that.”

Although priests often came to Libertan, it had nothing to do with me.

‘And there was no healing me with sacred power.’

All I did was watch from afar.

‘It bothers me that I was close to Libertan.’

But the one most bothered by that part was Johan, so I decided to let it go.

“I wish Johan wouldn’t strain too much for me.”

“It’s not too much at all. And if the sacred power doesn’t work, we can find another way.”

Johan held my hand tightly and smiled affectionately.

“Oh, I returned all the confiscated property from the Count of Hetel to your share. I’ve organized the property list in your room, so take a look when you have time.”

“All of the Hetel Count’s property came to me?”

“It’s obviously yours.”

“But wasn’t the Hetel Count still on trial?”

I heard that the royal trial was open, judging their guilt.

“The deprivation of property rights was judged first. So I returned it to your name.”

As a result of the judgment, the Count of Hetel was completely expelled from the noble roster.
The Earl and Countess were sentenced to life imprisonment for their grave sins, and their daughters were stripped of their names and driven away as commoners without a penny.

‘Just as Johan said.’

“Then I’ll go back to work.”

Johan kissed my cheek and left to work again.

I went to my room and checked the documents Johan had told me about. Indeed, the entire fortune of the Hettel Count’s family had become mine.

“……Can it really become my property?”

Though the Hettel Count’s family was a poor Count’s family, a Count is a highranking noble.

The fortune that Countess Hettel had brought as dowry had become mine, making the total wealth larger than expected.

“What can’t be done? You’ve made the decision, after all.”

Betty showed me a letter.

“Use it as you wish, ma’am. Judging by the letter they sent, it doesn’t seem they have any remorse.”

It was an apology letter sent by the Hettel Count’s family.

They must be thinking that if they obtain forgiveness from me, they’ll find a way to thrive.

‘Initially, it will be hard to come out involved with Count Fenula of Libertan.’

I looked at a document concerning the Hettel territory within the list of the Hettel Count’s family’s properties.

‘They really plundered it horribly.’

The situation of the Hettel Count’s family must have been really urgent. I spoke while looking at the report of the Hettel territory.

“Betty, can you do me a favor?”

“A favor? Of course. What do you need?”

Competent Betty had done things ordinary maids could not.

“Then sell this money and jewelry, and donate it to the orphanages and the poor in the county.”

“……A donation?”

“It might be better in the form of sponsorship. Not only the Hettel territory but also other places in need.”

Betty blinked for a moment.

“You’re not going to use it for yourself?”

“This is using it for me.”
