The Dead Villainess Is Pregnant With The Male Lead's Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 34

Commoners rarely had access to education, but the children of commoners working in state institutions such as the Imperial Palace or the Mage Tower were an exception.

They were granted the opportunity to receive free education at the Imperial Common Academy until adulthood.

It was an offer no parent could refuse, and Veronica was one such parent.

‘How lucky I am!’

Veronica, racing on horseback so frantically she barely had time to eat, still prided herself on being fortunate.

When she was pregnant with Jediel, she had written a fairy tale book.

It was both a gift for her precious child and a hobby to soothe her mind—a story starring a little wizard.

‘Oh! This is really good! It’d be a shame to let it rot away. How about actually publishing it as a real children’s book?’

One day, Onyx spotted the book she’d left on a shelf and connected her with a publisher.

Thus, almost by accident, the book became quite popular, leading her to publish a series of five volumes consecutively.

Veronica thought she was simply lucky. The Empire was not yet in an era where children were respected as cultural participants.

Most places lacked proper cultural or even educational facilities for children.

Consequently, apart from folk tales, there had been virtually no original children’s books—until Veronica’s creative fairy tales opened a new horizon.

However, despite its popularity, the book didn’t bring in much money. Being aimed at children, its price was naturally low, and the market of book-buying customers was limited.

Moreover, due to the underdeveloped concept of copyright, many people adapted her stories into plays or recitals, but those adaptations didn’t translate into income for Veronica.
