At the thunderous roar echoing inside the Magic Tower, not only the other dwarves but also the nobles and commoners who were leaving turned around with wide-open eyes.
“If you buy everything like that, what will we do? You ignorant fools. Let these people buy at least one less each!”
At the dwarf’s rebuke, other dwarves, who were eager to buy even one more, coughed awkwardly.
Cough.
“Just one, well…”
“I’ll concede.”
Touched by the kindness of the dwarves, the commoners who were about to leave came back and embraced each magic tool the dwarves handed over.
“Th-thank you, Dwarf-nim.”
“No problem. We’re just helping each other!”
It couldn’t help but be a heartwarming scene. Everyone who wanted one could get a magic tool without leaving anyone out.
I kept my voice as low as possible and asked Leian with a whisper.
“Leian. I’m rich now, right?”
“After the full-scale sales process, you’ll be able to receive compensation, but [DASH].”
“As expected, I knew Leian would agree.”
“…….”
Rich. Not rich yet, but a prospective rich person!
[Cough, cough [DASH].]Unfailingly, greed reared its head.
Even though it wasn’t time to sell yet, all of Magician Elbi’s magic tools were sold out.
Sold out!
[Cough. I could starve for a month. Well.]With the background music of the dragon of greed, I looked around with a proud feeling.
From beginning to end, the nobles who witnessed this scene had their mouths wide open in surprise.
“What… what is that?”
Dwarves are frantically trying to buy as much as possible.
Even commoners, who didn’t care about magic because it was expensive, came to buy magic tools to the extent of forming a queue.
It was nothing short of proving the potential of these magic tools.
The first magic tool released by the rookie magician Elbi was a massive hit.
Currently, sales are taking place at the Magic Tower, and commoners who heard the rumors are said to be flocking in.
In addition, as I expected, people who cannot constantly activate temperature control magic inside their homes, that is, lower nobles, also sent their servants to buy magic tools in bulk.
Every day was a sold-out march, and under the command of Magic Tower Lord Isis, the magic users affiliated with the Magic Tower were sold out every day while making Elbi’s magic tools. However, it was said that they couldn’t handle the demand that was skyrocketing like crazy.
Whether it was because I pinched the nose of the affiliated magicians or not, unlike before, Isis was in high spirits.
“Hahaha! You should have seen it. Everyone clenched their mouths and watched that scene where they used to keep an eye on me! How refreshing it was!”
“Wow, you must be happy. As expected, the greatest magician Isis.”
In response to my endless admiration, Isis blushed and avoided eye contact.
“Well, of course. Who do you think invented it?”
“Right, right. It’s the era of the great magician Isis.”
“You always choose good words to hear.”
This is what social life is like.
According to what I heard from Isis, the magicians affiliated with the Magic Tower knew that Elbi was a magician of the tower.
But when Isis developed a magic tool that didn’t meet their standards, they mocked her, saying she wouldn’t even sell one.
‘But she sold them all without exception, didn’t she?’
It felt good.
I kept cheering vigorously and asked Isis.
“Leian. Do I become rich now?”
It was a contract to monopolize distribution excluding Magic Tower sales.
The biggest advantage was that it could be sold at branch offices nationwide. Of course, the contract upper echelon takes a certain percentage.
‘By the way, can Matapju handle the contract well?’
I looked at Isis silently.
Fluffy pink hair, a cute figure, a mischievous and adorable face…
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Oh, no reason.”
It was a pitiful scam contract. What should I call Matapju, which is embarrassing to reveal.
I smiled as if I didn’t know anything, being careful not to reveal my true feelings.
Isis, who was staring at me with narrow eyes, returned to the main point and spoke again.
“So, the thing is, there’s a proposal for an exclusive contract. Quite a few of them.”
“Wow, congratulations.”
“The first one who proposed it was Marquis Angelos.”
“Ugh.”
I don’t like Angelos.
“The second one who proposed it is Viscount Hiklmaier.”
“Hiklmaier?”
It’s a name I’ve heard somewhere before.
Ah, thinking carefully, I remembered where I heard it.
Felix Hiklmaier.
A man who participated as a delegate for Marquis Seberes in the Isthar Temple, he is the deputy and aide to the Marquis.
In other words, he was my cousin.
“Do you know him?”
“No.”
If asked if I know him, no. Even if I know that side, they won’t know me.
“And, Dob, Jurtaeng, and Salr upper echelons. There are a few more, but there are about five places worth signing a contract.”
Except for Felix Hiklmaier, all were upper echelons I had heard of.
“Does Viscount Hiklmaier operate the upper echelon too?”
“He owns a large upper echelon abroad. It seems he’s starting a business in Wilentia this time.”
I’ll have to find out more details, but according to Isis, it seemed to be a sizable upper echelon.
“As expected, although I have a genius talent in magic, I’m a gem at contracts.”
“How are you running Matapju…?”
“The underlings take care of it themselves.”
How excellent must your magical abilities be to put an inexperienced human in the top position?
I felt sorry for Isis’s subordinates.
“Anyway, I’m considering the conditions and deciding, but I thought it would be nice if the investor came along.”
“Is that okay?”
I widened my eyes. I’ve never heard of an investor being involved in a monopoly contract even if I am the only investor.
Even if I am the only investor, it’s a radical treatment to accompany them.
But Isis answered without hesitation.
“Of course. You’re special.”
Am I special?
It was the first time I heard such words from someone.
Because everyone I’ve met so far treated me like a useless existence.
I hesitantly opened my lips and asked.
“Is it because I’m my mom’s daughter?”
“That’s one reason. But not the only one.”
My appearance was reflected in Isis’s blue eyes.
“For some reason, when I look at you, it feels like we’ve known each other for a long time. It’s strange.”
Isis stared at my face as if trying to find a reason.
But I’ve never met Isis before.
‘Maybe there are traces of my mom on my face.’
Then, with a smirk, he asked again.
“So, are you coming with me?”
“Yes. But there’s a problem.”
“What’s the problem?”
“Magic Tower’s Elvi is a non-existent person. How are we going to do this?”
As if to say, “What’s the worry in that?” Isis shrugged his shoulders.
“Of course, we have to disguise ourselves.”
What does disguising oneself mean?
Somehow, with a rising sense of unease, Isis declared with a smirk.
“The first opponent is Marquis Angelos.”

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
