A tremendous amount of money came in from Matop.
I’ve become a fantastic unemployed person who can play and eat as I please until I die.
This time, I sold all the accessories, dresses, and weapons I got from the 2nd Prince Beltran and exchanged them for money.
Thank you, sucker.
‘With this amount, there shouldn’t be any money worries!’
[Snickering.]Financial problems have been completely resolved. If it weren’t for personal issues, I could become independent right away.
On a whim, I went to find Mario, the deputy commander of the mercenary corps.
“What’s the matter, Miss Lily. The commander hasn’t returned yet.”
“I want to secretly purchase real estate. Do you take such requests?”
“Yes? Of course, as long as you have the money… um, how much are you looking to invest?”
Putting in the request out of the blue, Mario, who was momentarily taken aback, changed his expression as if to say, “When did this happen?” He then came forward seriously and sat down to face me.
“I will propose a fee of 50,000 Larites for the request.”
In Korean won, it would be about 100 million won.
It might be considered a bit expensive, but considering the difficulty of purchasing real estate as a third-party, it seemed appropriate.
Mario nodded gladly.
“Alright.”
“But, please strictly adhere to confidentiality. No one should know that I, Elodie Ferdia, am the owner of that property.”
Since the name Lily Arselle unintentionally became famous, it seemed safer to create another identity for real estate acquisition.
“You don’t have to worry about that, ma’am. If you give a down payment of 5,000 Larites, I’ll start right away!”
Mario replied confidently and handed me the contract.
After confirming the terms and paying the down payment, Mario asked for detailed information about the request.
“Do you have a place in mind?”
“Well…”
If it was too rural, it wouldn’t be suitable since people in a small community tend to be curious about newcomers. I aimed to live quietly as an unemployed person, and if my identity as a noble became known, it would be troublesome.
Looking at the map of Wilentia that Mario spread out, I pointed to a location.
“I prefer a small city with a moderate floating population. How about around the port in this area?”
The place I indicated was a port city where you could immediately cross the ocean and enter the Kagentel Empire.
It was a question laid out in case something happened, and I could escape to a foreign country by boat.
Not knowing my intention, Mario was nonchalant.
“The land prices there are quite high. Is it necessary for it to be a port?”
“The land price doesn’t matter. The most important thing is that it’s comfortable to live in.”
“It’s not bad to live there. I’ve been there a few times, and the city atmosphere is lively and nice. There are many foreigners, and the public order is well maintained.”
“Is that so?”
It sounded promising.
Being separated from Somnia, having a high floating population, and good public order.
“Then, please check that area. A clean three-story mansion should do.”
“Yes, understood.”
Mario could sense why I wanted to buy a house, but he never asked until the end.
That aspect was the reason why I kept placing requests with the elite Sky Mercenary Corps.
“Then, please take care of it.”
With enough money and the ability to buy a house, the only reason I couldn’t be independent was the existence that wanted to kill me.
The prime suspect behind it all was currently Duke Angelos.
‘What should I do?’
Locked in the room, I pondered intensely, squeezing my head.
While it might be possible to torment Duke Angelos, I didn’t have the ability to eliminate him.
Even though I know the original work’s content, the development has changed completely since I intervened. So, the weapon to remove the Duke wasn’t enough.
Of course, in the original work, Duke Angelos faces a crisis. When 1st Prince Adenmir, who ascends to the throne, tries to kill Estelle, he faces the blade of retribution from Dorothea Angelos and Duke Angelos.
Then, can’t I just wait?
‘No, that’s not an option…!’
It would be too late by the time Estelle appears. There’s a risk that, following the flow of the original, I might also face the danger of death.
It was most beneficial for my survival to leave Somnia as soon as possible.
“Then, wouldn’t it be better to fake my death…?”
How about disguising it as death, just like when I fell from the cliff during the last attack and suddenly disappeared?
“No, that would be difficult too.”
To do that, I would have to deceive all the Ferdia humans, which was not an easy task.
Even during the last disappearance, they searched the entire continent. Those people were thorough.
And… there was one more reason why I couldn’t leave the capital.
Waking up Dad, Duke Severus.
Although I was trying to exclude that matter and plan my independence, I couldn’t leave Somnia without resolving it.
So, practically leaving for the port city was the backup plan.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
