“For now, I’m thinking of trying my hand at a business. I’m still undecided on what kind of business it will be.”

Mikhail was secretly surprised to hear her answer. She had lived a life of abundance, so it was strange to hear that she would personally dive into business.

“Have you arranged the capital?”

“I plan to do it soon. I’ll need your help for the capital.”

Blair had already entrusted her jewelry and valuables as a princess to Mikhail and had almost exhausted them.

So Blair had made plans to secure capital for her business. She intended to use her knowledge of the future.

However, she had no intention of appropriating someone else’s business idea. She had accidentally returned to the past like a miracle, but it didn’t seem right to use it solely for personal gain.

Instead, what she was aiming for was…

“If my memory is correct, Ivan will buy several paintings at the auction soon.”

At a family dinner, Ivan had cursed at the cheap paintings he had bought. But two years later, the artist who had painted those paintings became famous for sponsoring generations of artists, and the prices of the paintings he had painted had skyrocketed.

Only then did Ivan proudly take out the paintings he had randomly stashed in the warehouse and proudly displayed his artistic vision.

Blair planned to take a bit of what would belong to Ivan.

After all, she had lived her whole life taking what belonged to him, so wouldn’t it be fair to take this much?

She justified it in her own way.

“It will take two years for the value of the paintings to rise, but I was planning to take a break until I give birth to Asiel, anyway.”

Even after the business-related discussion, Mikhail skillfully guided the conversation, ensuring that Blair didn’t focus on the sounds from the adjacent room.

As someone who had lived as a guild master and traveled to many countries, he always had fascinating stories to tell, and he watched Blair’s eyes sparkle more than usual.

After a while, when the adjacent room quieted down, Mikhail naturally concluded the conversation. Thanks to him, Blair was able to finish watching the play she had seen in her childhood.

Finally, the play came to an end.

“Shall we go?”

Mikhail extended his hand to Blair. She took his hand and stood up from her seat.
Here is the English translation of the Korean paragraph:

However, not long after, Mikhail stopped at the door.

“It’s a shame, but my escort ends here. It’s not the right time yet.”

Blair, who had been quietly observing his demeanor, suddenly asked, “Are you a noble?”

Even in Blair’s known future, Mikhail’s identity had not been revealed. She had naturally assumed he was a commoner, but upon meeting him in person, she found that he was very proficient in the manners of a noble.

In response to Blair’s abrupt question, Mikhail smiled faintly and said, “If it seems that way, I’m glad.”

He responded smoothly and skillfully avoided giving a direct answer. Sensing this, Blair didn’t press further.

Mikhail lightly kissed the back of Blair’s hand and let it go.

“Then, I will see you again soon, madam.”

“Welcome back, madam.”

Upon arriving at the Duke’s residence, Mason and the servants who were waiting greeted her.

As Blair entered the mansion, she asked him, “Where is the Duke?”

“His afternoon schedule ended early, and he returned a while ago.”

Blair’s heart sank upon hearing that Herdine was at the mansion. Although there had been no incidents between her and Mikhail at the theater, she felt anxious, as if she were returning home after committing adultery.

In reality, all of this was part of the plan to ensure a safe divorce, just as he wished.

As always, Blair hoped not to encounter Herdine anytime soon as she climbed the stairs.

But fate was not on her side.

Waiting for her next to the door was Herdine, her husband, who hadn’t been seen for the past two weeks, with cold eyes.
