“Since things have come to this, may I ask for one more favor?”
“I’m getting scared of what you might say.”
“Have you happened to see my maid, Shuna?”
“I have. She’s been bringing us meals since yesterday afternoon.”
Ruela clapped her hands together as if pleased.
“Our Shuna also doesn’t have clothes like mine. So, if you could buy the necessary things for her as well, I would appreciate it.”
“Do you realize you’re asking for too much with such a bright and polite tone?”
“It means Cozette is an important person to me to that extent.”
“Seeing the young lady made you realize that. Rumors can’t be trusted. As an important person, I also have requests for the young lady. Will you listen?”
“What is it?”
“No matter how much you’re paid, dealing with the joke of a compensation is quite challenging, as you said, right?”
“I understand.”
Even in Ruela’s weakened voice, Cozette firmly stated her requirements.
“So, later, after the two months you mentioned, appoint me as your exclusive designer.”
“After two months, who knows what will happen to me…”
“So, don’t make such an uncharacteristically uncertain expression. Please stay here and appoint me as your exclusive designer.”
“I don’t have money?”
“You’re leading an expedition to restore the Kurain Kingdom to Helaene. How big is that effort? Going there and not receiving any reward?”
“In fact, His Highness promised to lower the ducal status and grant the Kurain Kingdom as a territory.”
“Isn’t that too weak?”
“Weak? You’re receiving a former kingdom as a territory.”
“Then you can use that as a dowry.”
Ruela couldn’t help but feel perplexed, not understanding what Cozette was talking about. However, when she heard the next words, her face turned bright red.
“You like His Highness, don’t you?”
“What? Well, I… Does it show that much?”
Seems like she reacted too honestly. After Cozette chuckled for a while, she wiped her eyes and spoke.
“So aim for something higher. If you like him, you should take it.”
“Take it?”
“When you conquer the Kurain Kingdom, His Highness will return to Leorre. After that, when the right time comes, you will likely succeed the throne of Helaene. If that happens, even if the capital of Helaene is nearby, do you think you can live as you do now, seeing his face every day?”
Can’t see him?
She hadn’t even considered such a thought.
For Ruela, survival was the top priority, and she thought that if she could safely capture the Kurain Duke, she would naturally stay with her current comrades.
“I guess you haven’t thought about that part. Except for Miss’s maid, Shuna, everyone here will return to their respective places. Even if you receive the Kurain territory as a reward, no one, except the maid, will stay by your side.”
Do I like Kite?
Of course.
If there was someone here whom I relied on the most and whose heart I was closest to, it was Kite. But does that mean I want to have him to that extent?
The definition of ‘having’ that Cozette is talking about is different from possessing an object, so it was a problem that Ruela had to think deeply about.
Having someone means entering their life, similar to saying that you’re stepping into the other person’s world. Ruela, who had no connections here, was more likely to enter his world than pull him into hers.
But what do I know about Kite right now?
His rank? Friends? Habits? Except for those, I don’t know anything.
I don’t know what kind of person he is, what thoughts he has, or how he has lived… I don’t even know if he has an engagement partner right now.
Because of that, Ruela couldn’t immediately answer whether she wanted him when asked by Cozette.
Ruela looked at Cozette.
“I haven’t thought about wanting Kite yet. However, if such feelings arise, I’ll do my best to make it work. Anyway, I’ll make this promise to Cozette, even though I don’t know anything else. If I stay here even after two months, I’ll become the exclusive designer for the most famous young duchess in the Freita continent. Wouldn’t that be enough?”
“How famous do you think you’ll become?”
“I’ll become a person whose name is on everyone’s lips. But to do that, I’ll need Cozette’s help first.”
Cozette nodded.
“Alright. Since you were originally someone with a name, I don’t think it will be that difficult to become famous as you said. Now, I’ll leave the finishing touches on the dresses to my employees and leave right away.”
After saying goodbye to Cozette, Ruela went downstairs.
In the hall, her colleagues were laughing and chatting while sitting on an open carriage disguised as an art installation. When they saw Ruela, they waved and shouted.
“Ruela, it’s this carriage. You made a good call not to take it out. Sitting here and drinking tea gives a different feeling.”
Seeing Rafa, who had vehemently complained the most, satisfied with the situation, Ruela burst into laughter.
“It looks like you’ve already prepared for the hunt.”
“Yes, we were waiting for you, Ruela.”
“Alright, let’s depart right away. Oh, the medicinal herbs I picked yesterday need to be taken to the medicine room.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
