Sigh. I opened my mouth after a faint sigh.
“Let’s go with Carlott.”
The reason was simple.
Carlott seemed more transparent and easier to deal with than Yan, whose thoughts were unknown.
Nevertheless, I was merely choosing the lesser evil between the worst and the worst.
“Yes. Tell Carlott.”
“Yes, Father.”
“Is there anything else you need?”
“It’s okay.”
Okay, it was. To get rid of the useless escort!
But since that was something he wasn’t willing to give in to, I had no choice but to back down as well.
“According to the butler, you haven’t been buying anything recently.”
“Ah, that’s…”
Every other day, I used to call dressmakers and merchants to the annex and buy all sorts of dresses and things.
But since I regained my memories of my previous life, I stopped all that.
When I thought of myself as a member of the Ferdia family, I could spend money without concern, but now it’s different.
The things I have are not mine, and the money I can use is not mine either.
So, I couldn’t recklessly spend the family’s money.
“It’s not good to overspend. I’m trying to cut back.”
“Why?”
“What?”
“What do you think of Ferdia?”
Being suddenly interrogated for saying I would spend less money, what’s this situation?
Unable to answer, I stood there frozen as the Duke sighed faintly.
“The family is not so impoverished that it cannot afford even the price of your dresses.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Tell the butler to allocate an additional 100,000 larits to Elodie every month.”
“100,000 larits?!”
100,000 larits.
With 1 larit being worth about 2,000 won, 100,000 larits amounted to… a staggering 200 million won.
Even though I could spend it like water, adding 100,000 larits more for allocation.
‘Even for Ferdia, don’t they teach about money?’
Are you spoiling your daughter?
Looking at my astonishment, the Duke asked a terrifying question.
“Is it not enough?”
“No, no!”
It would be difficult if he allocated even more money to me.
Regardless of how much I spend, all the money goes under the Duke’s surveillance, so there was nowhere to spend it anyway.
“So don’t think unnecessary thoughts and buy what you want. I will receive a report from the butler every month, so know that.”
“……”
Even the reports.
Suddenly, I had a thought.
Rather than living frugally, he handed me more money and insisted I spend it.
This could be ‘Ferdiastyle financial education’……
My soul utterly shaken, I rose weakly from my seat.
“I’m sorry to have disturbed you when you’re busy. I’ll take my leave now……”
Since there was nothing more to discuss, I hurriedly said goodbye, and the Duke gave a slight nod.
As soon as I came out of the bedroom, a sigh of relief burst forth.
“Phew.”
Not being in the same space as the Duke any longer, I felt like I could finally breathe.
Having unexpectedly met the Duke after meeting the Duchess, I returned to the annex utterly worn out.
Masa, who was loitering in front of my room, found me and widened her eyes.
“Young lady, why are you so late? You’re still alive, right?”
“Does that sound insincere, Masa?”
“Of course not. I’ve been waiting anxiously for you. I was worried.”
Masa hurriedly checked me over before letting me go, having confirmed that there was no injury anywhere.
She seemed quite worried about me meeting the Duchess alone.
‘In fact, the Duke was scarier.’
On the contrary, I felt that the Duchess and I had good communication. Not long ago, I was only trying to avoid her, not even talking.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I forgot my situation. The Duchess is nice to me only because my ability is useful; she clearly doesn’t like me.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have looked at me like an object even though I was someone else’s child and crying.
But from the Duchess’s perspective, it was natural.
I was an illegitimate child.
So let’s just stay like this, not stand out more, and leave when the time comes.
With renewed determination, I poured the precious pouch I had carefully brought onto the bedroom floor carpet.
Clatter.
The glittering gold coins revealed themselves.
“What is all this?”
Masa looked at the money and me in surprise, her face astonished.
“This is, well, money.”
“I know it’s money. I have eyes, you know.”
Masa seemed curious about the origin of the money, but I pretended not to notice and collapsed onto the carpet.
“One, two, three……. ten!”
Ten gold coins worth a thousand Larite each. The money in the pouch amounted to a whopping ten thousand Larite.
I had just heard Duke Ferdia talk about a hundred thousand Larite per month, but this money in my hand felt more real.
In any case, I was thrilled.
“Money……!”
I had earned money.
A private fund that would not be traced by the family if I ever used it!
The very first thing I did with this precious money was to hand Masa two thousand Larite.
“For me? You’re giving it to me?”
“Yeah. You got the poison for me this time. It’s a reward.”
“I only did what I was supposed to do… but I’ll take it!”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
