By now, she had become shameless enough to demand the opening of the fog barrier.

As I stayed silent, the two continued to embarrass me.

“Is that true? You have excellent taste!”

“Yes! Aileen is so amazing. She even finished a design contract with the famous Elvitor!”

“Elvitor? Is that true?!”

“Well… it is.”

It’s not that impressive. I only contributed some ideas.

Despite my awkward response, their admiration didn’t stop.

“You’re truly amazing. Fitting to be the Duke’s lover. If you’ve made a contract with Elvitor… you must be taking commissions from them.”

Baron Brose’s face became quite serious.

Catching on, Prizia immediately switched to sales mode.

“Is there anything you’d like to change?”

“I’ve been considering adding a gazebo in the garden. Also, as winter is approaching, I’m interested in the ondol flooring in the children’s study.”

The rooms with ondol had no carpets.

Even the tutors who felt the warmth of the floor without carpets were all curious about the mysterious warmth.

“You should put in your request soon.”

“I think I should. Others are getting interested as well.”

Guests had been diligently spreading rumors about how beautiful the fogcovered mansion was.

The baron, unaware that Prizia was the owner of the top brand, was discussing quotes with her.

‘I admire your sales skills.’

So this is how you run a top brand.

I wanted to give her a round of applause.

But the conversation had to end.

“Excuse me, Baron Brose. I’ll escort you outside the fog.”

Eschtra had come to guide the baron.

A magic circle, a collaborative work between Mikhail and Prizia, was placed on the floor of the castle to make mine look like an ordinary person.

It was powered by the domestic magic tower.

‘As long as the tower doesn’t break, it will continue.’

In many ways, the magical pillar was satisfying no matter how many times I saw it.

“Oh, look at the time!”

Startled by Eschtra’s appearance, the baron pretended to check his watch.

Eschtra also looked human.

What surprised the baron were the sunglasses she was wearing.

‘She looks like a special bodyguard.’

The magic circle didn’t cover the sunglasses, so Eschtra stood out.

“I’ll make sure to place a request through Elvitor. Thank you!”

“Take care!”

I waved at the baron, who seemed to be pulled away.
The reputation of the ducal house was rising day by day.

“Hehehe, welcome, customer.”

Frigia, who had lured in a customer, let out a gloomy laugh.

Though she was pretty, her face became utterly terrifying when it came to transactions.

I awkwardly smiled and asked Frigia something she would like to hear.

“Did you get a lot of requests?”

“Of course. The teachers of the princes are spreading the word! Even those who haven’t been invited to the castle keep coming to see the catalog!”

Her eyes, ablaze with will, were truly passionate.

“It won’t be as much as the contracts that the duke has secured, but we’ll still make a lot!”

“Of course, we will make a lot!”

Next time I meet her, I’ll have to ask her what she plans to do with all that money.

I applauded in satisfaction internally.

Then, Frigia’s pocket flashed a light.

It was a signal that a message had come through the crystal ball.

“Ah, it’s an alarm. I’ll go check it out!”

“Take care.”

Frigia was busy today, as always, coming and going in a hurry.

‘Louis and Evan went to magic class.’

I looked around to make sure no one was watching and took out a notebook from my pocket.

Written in the small notebook in Korean, that only I could read, were the words:

‘List of things to do if I get a girlfriend.’

Many things were listed, but the number one was this no matter what.

Step 1: Go on a first date.

The first item on my longawaited bucket list was a date.

‘And while enjoying a festival!’

According to the information, a street festival was going to be held in the capital tonight.

‘I’ve never been on a date since we started dating.’

I had been to places like room cafes before, but it was hard to call that a date.

“…But how do I say it?”

You have to have asked someone on a date before.

Besides, Kashar’s temperament is…

‘He’ll tease me a lot.’

If there was one thing I learned about him since we started dating, it was that Kashar was a lot more cunning than I thought.

That made it a little hard to say directly.

But there’s no way I’d die from it, so I opted for a classic method that came to mind.

‘Letter writing is the way to go in this world!’

I ran to my room and wrote a letter.

My very first love letter, written by my own hand.

(This is a time marker.)

The next day.

The day passed quickly, and it was late evening, time to put the children to sleep.

“Aileen, I got 100 points in history today!”

“Wow, as expected, our Lord Louis!”

I lifted Louis in my arms and hoisted him high.

‘I actually knew.’

The viscount was in trouble for two days straight, what did he ask you?

Feeling somewhat scared, I turned my head toward Evan.

“Evan, was the magic class fun?”

“Yeah. It was fun.”

Evan, who nodded shortly, answered shyly.

“…I’ll do better.”

“Take your time.”

The children, perhaps tired from a strenuous day, quickly fell asleep.

“Uuh, Aileen…”
“Barbecue tast…y.”

I carefully slipped out of the room when the twins had fallen asleep.

‘Dress okay. Makeup okay.’

My reflection in the mirror was a madeup yet not overly madeup style.

As I stepped outside, I saw Kashar. He was holding the letter I had sent in advance.

Under the bright moonlight, he looked…

‘Does he look more handsome because he’s my man?’

He was truly fantastic.
