Certainly, here is the translated passage as per your guidelines:

“Proposal?”

I was confused by the sudden remark, but decided to listen to what he had to say.

“It’s about the martial arts that your wife practiced before.”

‘Taekwondo?’

My eyes widened as he continued to speak.

“I want to teach it to Laila and the knights, do you think you can teach it?”

“Yes?”

“I think it can be useful in an emergency.”

“……”

“I will pay for the lessons.”

The knights were not pleasant, but it was a good suggestion since there would be contact with Laila.

‘Naturally, taking the opportunity to show the warm mother’s nature to the world?’

Laila, who embraced me despite the slander of commoner friends. So I thought my sincerity and sincerity would communicate.

If I succeed in making Laila my ally, there’s no need to worry about Marlboro.

In a romance novel, the male lead must be the female lead’s fan.

‘If you win over the female lead, the male lead will automatically follow, right?’

Two birds with one stone.

‘Yeah! It’s better to take this opportunity.’

I put my finger to my chin and spoke seriously.

“Um, will Laila want to learn from me?”

“Don’t worry about that. She will do it if I propose it.”

“I see. Then, how much do you plan to charge for tuition?”

A hopeful light appeared in Philip’s eyes.

“One twohour session, 10 times a month for 10 gold pieces, or I’ll give you another house from the list for a oneyear contract.”

I was quite surprised by the substantial amount. Giving a house for a year’s employment was rare, even in my previous world.

But I remembered that Taekwondo is a very special skill in this world. It’s not unreasonable for Philip to charge this much. Maybe only I know it in this world.

“It’s a very special secret.”

“I agree.”

“So we need to adjust the conditions.”

“How will we adjust?”

“First, match the reward to the value.”

“Um… I guess it was a little short.”

The gentlemanly dignity was evident as he stroked his chin.

“So, how much do you want?”

I was emboldened by his attitude that seemed to give anything.

“Give me everything you can give.”

Philip’s eyes widened, and he was momentarily speechless.

“And only until the contemplation period ends, I’ll only teach Laila two hours a day.”

“…Just Laila? Not the knights?”

“Yes. I want to keep something special. So I’ll teach the method indoors where others can’t see. The rest will have to be practiced on your own.”

“…Can’t I see?”

There was a hint of regret in Philip’s tone.

“You can observe.”

“……”

After a moment of contemplation, he clapped his hands lightly.

“Fine. Then I’ll hand over the house that was on the list.”

“Yes?”

I was flustered because the price he called out was beyond my imagination.

“You’re going to give it all? Wasn’t the financial situation not okay?”

“That’s true. But that’s now.”

I unconsciously smirked a bit.

Is this man strange? Why is his attitude different from before?

Philip smiled brightly.

“I think it has more value as a secret, as you said.”

I was so startled that I reflexively stopped him.

“Isn’t it better to think again?”

“Yes?”

“You don’t have money, do you? What are you going to do if it’s tough to give it all?”

“I’ll handle it. I’ll manage somehow.”

From what I knew about the financial situation, he was very confident with nothing at all.

‘Is it because he has the ability?’

Actually, he can endure somehow. He’s a kingmaker.

‘Well, it’s like a mouse worrying about a cat ……’

Philip won’t have financial troubles for much longer.

And it’s not like Philip’s going to starve if I take those buildings. There’s also the territory’s tax.

Then, suddenly, I became suspicious.

“Ah, I hope we don’t catch the elephant.”

“That’s a bit……”

It must have been that business he was going to take care of himself.

‘Have you not yet given up on elephant hunting, human!’

He was merciless towards the elephant even as he sent the dog to the countryside.

Philip’s one eyebrow raised hesitantly. He who had momentarily rubbed his chin let out a small sigh.

“I don’t want to say this, but it must be done. There are costs that need to be handled quickly, such as debts and interest.”

Though the subject was missing, it was a talk about the debt and interest I had incurred. It was a bit surprising that he wasn’t asking me to pay it back even in this situation.

“I will try to make it so that you don’t have to catch the elephant. Trust me and bear with it a little longer.”

“……?”

At my words, Philip looked bewildered, but soon nodded his head.

“Do as you wish, ma’am. Then back to the main topic, when and where shall we send Laila?”

I pondered for a moment before deciding on the time.

“7 in the morning.”

It’s a bit annoying to wake up early. But it looked like a good time to function without hassle.

“Let’s start three days from now if Laila agrees. You decide the place. Wear something comfortable for movement.”

“Understood.”

Seeing color in his handsome face made me smile too.

Upon returning to the mansion, a waiting servant suddenly came out and bowed.
