For the children who needed learning, various people began to enter and exit Luben Castle.

‘They are all amazing people.’

The tutors recommended by Kashar were professors boasting impressive credentials.

I examined their portraits and chose those with the kindest impressions.

‘Physiognomy is a science after all.’

Of course, I also checked their reputations.

Everything was fine.

Just then, one of the tutors was walking down the opposite corridor.

It was Baron Babalon Brosse, who taught the history of the Rihart Empire and the continent.

“Hello, Baron Brosse.”

“Oh, Lady Hallen.”

Baron Brosse widened his eyes and expressed his delight.

As I felt every time I met him, just like in his portrait, he was a person with a very gentle appearance.

‘His eyes look extremely kind.’

Like a harmless deer, perhaps. Plus, even his voice was gentle, so it seemed I had chosen the tutors well.

“Are the princes participating diligently?”

“Of course. Today we learned about the early history of the empire, and both of them followed along quite intelligently. Prince Louis… was very energetic again today.”

Baron Brosse seemed a bit tired as he said this.

‘He must have asked various difficult questions again.’

Louis was very curious about strangers. So he would ask this and that, but since it might interfere with the lesson, I told him he could ask whatever he wanted if he got a perfect score.

‘Teacher, tell me about your first love!’

It was something similar to that nuance, so I was just leaving it be for now.

‘It might be his own way of increasing his motivation to learn.’

It’s not like he’s completely ruining the class.

I decided to think positively about it.

Still, I felt sorry for troubling such a kind person, so I wanted to take better care of Baron Brosse.

“If there’s anything lacking or uncomfortable during the lessons, please feel free to tell me.”

“Not at all, I’m always grateful for the warm welcome.”

He waved his hands as if it wasn’t the case at all.

“Even the snacks are quite precious. Choco pies, no less. My wife has tried and failed to get them several times.”

If there was a Street of Abundance in the imperial palace, there was Nike Square in the capital.

I opened a salon selling makgeolli and a high-end pastry shop there.

[Big news! The harmony of soft, melting white cream and bittersweet pie! A new dessert called chocolate appears. People of all classes line up. A special dessert shop never seen before. About the veiled owner.]

It was an article that appeared daily in the Rihart newspaper.

Here, very precious goods were usually obtained through connections, but I had decorated the shop as splendidly as the imperial palace to make people come directly.

‘I heard there was some resistance at first, but now it seems to be running well.’

The method to stop nobles who were about to start fights during the shop’s soft opening period was surprisingly simple.

‘Just send Kashar as a customer.’

It was magic that instantly quieted a shop that was on the verge of a fight.

Moreover, after Kashar’s visit, rumors about the shop were somewhat peculiar.

‘A delicious restaurant that even the scary Duke visits in person!’

‘We don’t sell unless noble people come in person! Limited to 20 per day!’

Now it had become trendy for nobles to visit in person.

‘Well, it’s not exactly like that.’

The more famous people visited, the better the shop did, so it was true.

‘I should go there sometime.’

The shop had been open for about two weeks, including the soft opening period, but I hadn’t visited in person yet.

But even just from what I had heard through the video orb installed in the shop or from stories told to me, I could tell how well it was doing.

‘It’s a bit worrying.’

The amount I could bring from my dreams was limited.

I couldn’t just bring things to sell every time, so I needed to think more about this issue.

“I’ll wrap a few as a gift for you. I happen to have some that just came in.”

“Really?! Well, I should decline… Ahem, it’s just that my wife wants to try them so badly. I’ll accept them with gratitude.”

He was a man who even expressed thanks so kindly.

He thanked me several times, then suddenly gave me a wistful look.

“Both of them are growing up so wonderfully. You must have put in a lot of effort.”

“Well, a little?”

At times like this, I should say no.

But after turning the duchy upside down, I wanted to boast a little.

Just then, a home-use magic tower was beautifully shining in the garden.

‘After history, the next class is basic magic, so they should be there now.’

It was the children’s favorite class these days.

Thinking of the excited children made me feel touched as I recalled all the hard work.

Perhaps thinking I was just looking out the window, Baron Brosse, who had been following my gaze outside, exclaimed in admiration.

“No matter how many times I see it, I can’t get used to this scenery. Truly, I’ve never seen such a beautiful castle before.”

The home-use magic tower was reflecting the sun, creating a rainbow.

Beneath it was a pure white pavilion and a small pond. A waterwheel turned in the pond as small fish swam gracefully.

It was a castle that looked splendid from the front, but had a quaint charm when viewed from a different perspective like this.

“It was all decorated by Eileen!”

Suddenly, Frigia burst in between me and the baron, clinging to me.

“Princess El?”

Baron Brosse blinked in surprise.

Even he, who had sent his child to the Imperial Academy, knew Professor Frigia well.

“I’m actually close friends with E-i-leen!”

‘Just say we’re friends!’

Thanks to Frigia boasting that she couldn’t be prouder, my face was the only thing burning up.

Frigia was my friend and interior design partner, coming and going from the duchy.

Now she had become so brazen that if the mist barrier didn’t open, she would throw a fit and tell Mihail to open it.

As I kept my mouth shut, the two of them continued to make my face burn.

“Is that true? You have quite an excellent eye!”

“Of course! Eileen is amazing. She even signed a design contract with the famous merchant guild, Elvitor!”

“That Elvitor? Is that true?!”

“Well… it is.”

It’s not that amazing. I just came up with ideas.

Even though I was speaking awkwardly, the admiration didn’t stop.

“I didn’t know you were so talented. As expected of the Duke’s lover. If you’ve signed a contract with the guild… I suppose you’re taking commissions from Elvitor now.”

Baron Brosse’s face became quite serious.

Frigia, who caught onto this, immediately switched to business mode.

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

“I was thinking it would be nice to have a resting place like that in the garden. A pavilion, was it? And since winter is coming, I’m also envious of the ondol flooring in the princes’ study room.”

Rooms with ondol flooring didn’t have carpets.

Even without carpets, the tutors who felt the warm floor all asked about this mysterious warmth before leaving.

“You should put in a request quickly.”

“I think I should. Others are eyeing it too.”

The guests were all faithfully spreading rumors about how beautiful the mist-covered duchy was.

The baron was discussing estimates with Frigia, not realizing she was the guild master.

‘Business skills, I respect that.’

So that’s how you become a guild master.

It was a moment that made me want to applaud.

But the conversation was inevitably interrupted.

“Excuse me, Baron Brosse. I’ll guide you outside the mist.”

Eshtra came to escort the baron out.

The magic circle that made the Mein appear as ordinary people was a collaboration between Mihail and Frigia, laid on the castle floor.

It was activated by the home-use magic tower.

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

The magic pillar, useful in many ways, was always satisfying to see.

“Oh my, is it this time already!”

Surprised by Eshtra’s appearance, the baron pretended to check his watch.

Eshtra also appeared human.

The baron was startled because of the sunglasses she was wearing.

‘Like a special bodyguard, I suppose.’

Since the magic circle didn’t cover the sunglasses, Eshtra stood out.

“Then I’ll put in a request through Elvitor. I look forward to working with you!”

“Take care on your way back!”

I waved to the baron, who looked like he was being dragged out.

This way, the fame of the duchy was growing day by day.

“Huhuhu, welcome, customer.”

Frigia, who had hooked a customer, let out an eerie laugh.

Such a pretty face, but when it came to business, her eyes rolled back and she became quite frightening.

I smiled awkwardly and asked about something Frigia would like.

“Have you received many requests?”

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

Her eyes burning with determination were quite passionate.

“It might not be as much as the contract the Duke secured, but we’ll still earn a lot!”

“Of course. You’ll earn a lot!”

I should ask her next time what she plans to do with all that money.

I applauded, saying it was great, while making a mental note.

Just then, light flickered in Frigia’s pocket.

It was a signal that a crystal ball communication had come in.

“Ah, it’s an alarm. I’ll be heading back now!”

“Take care.”

Frigia came and went busily today as well.

‘Louis and Evan went to their magic lesson.’

Looking around to make sure no one was there, I took out a notebook from my bosom.

The small notebook had neat handwriting in Korean that only I could read.

‘Things I want to do when I have a lover.’

There were various things written, but number 1 was undoubtedly this:

Step 1. Go on a first date.

The first item on the long-awaited bucket list was none other than a date.

‘And while enjoying a festival!’

According to information, there would be a street festival in the capital tonight.

‘Since we haven’t been on a date since we started dating.’

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

“…But how should I ask?”

I should have experience asking for a date.

Plus, Kashar’s temperament…

‘He’ll tease me a lot again.’

If there’s one thing I learned about him after we started dating, it’s that Kashar is much more sly than I thought.

Because of that, I felt a bit awkward asking him directly.

But there’s no harm in trying, so I adopted a classic method that suddenly came to mind.

‘Of course, in this world, it’s letter paper!’

I ran to my room and wrote a letter.

My first love letter, written by my own hand.

[This is the timeline separator]

The next day.

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

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

“Wow, as expected of our Louis!”

I hugged Louis and praised him highly.

‘I actually knew.’

The baron had been troubled for two days in a row, I wonder what he asked?

Feeling a bit scared, I turned to Evan.

“Evan, is the magic class fun?”

“Yeah. It was fun.”

Evan nodded and answered shyly.

“…I’ll do better.”

“You can take your time.”

The day must have been quite tiring, as the children fell asleep quickly.

“Mmm, Eileen…”

“Bulgogi… delicious…”

I carefully slipped out of the room while the twins were asleep.

‘Dress okay. Makeup okay.’

My reflection in the mirror looked styled yet natural.

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

His appearance under the bright moonlight was…

‘Maybe it’s because he’s my man, but he looks even more handsome.’

It was truly fantastic.
