Hanyoung, who was looking, answered her.
“That’s where the lady keeps her cherished items. Should I ask in a letter if we can clean it up? It’s rarely used even when she returns to the mansion.”
Ah, it’s where my mother uses.
The duchess gave up right away.
“No, that’s fine then. How about here? It’s quite spacious and welllocated. What was this room used for?”
A spacious room that was just out of the space that Arthur decided to use caught her eye.
Hanyoung looked at it and answered.
“It’s a room where we store jewels and luxury goods. Lately, many paintings have come in, so we’ve hung up expensive paintings as well.”
She remembered.
It was a large room used to show off when occasional visitors came.
A room where they stored the jewels.
“……”
Perfect. It suited Christina.
“The sunlight must come in well, right?”
“Yes. We’ve hung up blackout curtains so the paintings won’t get damaged right now, but the window is wide and facing south, so it will be bright if you pull the curtains.”
Good. This room looks okay.
She looked at a few more rooms, but none were as good as that room.
Conveniently, it was a room adjacent to the area that Arthur uses, and it seemed symbolic that it was located between ‘Arthur’ and ‘Julius’, which she liked.
Hanyoung also agreed with Matilda’s opinion.
“Can we remove the things here?”
“Yes. If you give us about three days.”
For once, the duchess gave an order in good spirits.
“Good. This room, help me redecorate it. As the new mistress’s bedroom. Don’t skimp on money, we’re definitely using more than 1000 gold.”
It was a gift for Christina.
[This is the time separator]After Arthur left his seat, saying he would be back shortly.
Left alone, Reyna was standing blankly in front of the fireplace and then crouched down.
“……”
I don’t know Arthur.
Reyna was surprisingly shocked by that statement.
Of course……. It was true that I didn’t know him very well, thinking that Arthur, the successor of Julius, the reformer of the century, and the man promised the rewards of the royal family, would not have money and would not know worldly matters……
But other than that, I know you really well.
She felt somewhat lonely.
How Arthur used strategy in the Flamber Plains battle.
How Arthur rescued Prince Kyle.
How tense that battle was…….
How he wrote a poem after the last battle ended.
I memorized all of them even though I only received them through newsletters……
“……”
Reyna looked sulky.
Well……
No matter how hard you collect and memorize newsletters, it’s not enough to know all about him……
That Arthur does not eat mushrooms.
That he looks incredibly cool when he writes poetry.
That he is very generous.
That his voice is very good.
They were things I couldn’t know from a newspaper article.
“……”
Reyna felt a little gloomy.
Arthur, after all, was a man beyond the newspaper to me, and it was a new realization.
Reyna, standing blankly, gazed at the firewood burning in the fireplace, lost in thought.
’30 gold a week…….’
The meaning of giving a salary that one would have to work for a year as a weekly wage went beyond simply a large amount of money, it meant that you could save money quickly without spending living expenses.
Even with the extraordinary salary, the money I could save after spending the living expenses of two people was only about 10 gold a year.
I’ve barely saved up 60 gold by working my entire life, but he’s giving me 30 gold a week, I couldn’t believe it and an indescribable feeling welled up,
my mind was wondering whether Arthur’s proposal was really possible, and was diligently calculating.
If I accept Arthur’s proposal and everything goes as he said, 120 gold a month……
Then, even if I give up the generous salary of the Julius ducal house, I could immediately become independent and buy a quite decent house.
A much better house than the small house I originally aimed for.
As long as I don’t covet a too luxurious house, I should be able to save some living expenses for a while…….
“……”
No……
Reyna buried her face in the palm of her hand and bowed her head after a dry splash.
I need to think about living expenses……
I shouldn’t be captivated by a large amount of money at the moment.
Just because you have a house doesn’t mean you can live for free.
From the start, Lord Arthur said he would give me a weekly wage of 30 gold, but he didn’t guarantee how many weeks he would let me work.
If the Duke finishes his conversation well with Lord Arthur, Lady Christina will return to her place immediately, and I could be fired as soon as tomorrow.
So, this wasn’t a job I could do for life.
And, Reyna was enough with just 50 silver if she took care of her grandmother.
The reason she needed money so far was only because of a house to be independent with her grandmother, but as Julius decided to stick a doctor to her grandmother, Reyna no longer desperately needed dangerous money.
After all, even if he gave me 30 gold every week, I didn’t know where to use it other than the house and my grandmother.
I didn’t want to take big risks.
Besides, there was already a Taylor for her grandmother.
I even decided to meet Taylor and hear the story next week.
In this situation, if Lord Arthur’s talk of a weekly wage of 30 gold catches me betraying Julius,
If Lord Arthur and Duke Julius make peace peacefully in less than a month and I lose both my lifetime job and Taylor……
That would be a stupid thing to do.
After all, I won’t be here for long……
Reyna covered her face with both hands.
“……”
You’ll regret it.
……right?
If my grandmother passes away, I……
……so, while she’s alive.
“……”
As I thought about it, as always, my throat was choked.
Reyna closed her lips tightly.
While my grandmother is alive……
I didn’t want to take any risk.
The love and grace I received from my grandmother
I haven’t paid anything back yet.
My grandmother won’t be with me forever.
I had to repay when I could.
“……”
Money didn’t matter at all.
My grandmother was most important to Reyna.
Already verified care.
And, a gamble I had to choose to give up that.
There was no need to think.
Besides, Lord Arthur will have to leave for the capital for the improvement ceremony soon.
If I betray Julius recklessly in this situation.
In Julius’s territory without Lord Arthur,
Who will protect my grandmother for several months?
“……”
Reyna blankly looked at the mirror.
The pale face with makeup removed looked raw.
“……”
……what if I speak honestly and ask for help?
That my grandmother needs a doctor.
Can you promise even that……
And the money you mentioned…… even if I can’t work with you for long…… how much can you guarantee?
To live safely with my grandmother…… to spend several years together.
If so……
Then I am.
“……”
Reyna blankly looked at the burning firewood in the fireplace.
Next week……
Next week.
The day to meet Taylor was approaching.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
