"Is there a lot like this in there?"
"The brother who lived near the orphanage showed me a stone like this there."
"really? Are you sure it's Spinel?!"
"The stone looks like this..."
The followers glanced at each other when they heard my words.
Viscount Dubos approached me and asked.
"Who is the owner? Where's it?"
"See!" I shouted and gave them a vague picture of the place.
...***...
Viscount Dubos sent the administrator to the place Leblaine had told him about.
And three days later, the administrator actually brought in a box of spinels.
"It is true that there are owners of spinel growth places that we do not know..."
Viscount Dubos was shocked, and the followers asked the administrator.
"How did that happen?"
"Women named Sesera are smart. It seems the commoners knew that if people knew he had a spinel growing place, it would be taken."
"That's why he didn't sell Spinel to the market?"
"The woman needs time to get ready to set up shop."
The faces of the people became bright.
"We don't have to rely on the church anymore. I'll call the messenger who's negotiating."
Duke, who knocked on the handle of the chair, opened his mouth.
"No. Don't let the church know we have spinels."
"Why is that so..."
"Nos, buy all Spinels as soon as the owner sells them."
"Do you need to save that much?"
"Not to hoard. But it will be distributed at a low price in the market."
People were smiling but Henry was deep in thought.
"You're trying to lower the value of Spinel."
If spinel is supplied too much in the market, the price will inevitably fall.
If the price of Spinel, the source of the church's funds, was lowered, the church would certainly be hit directly.
The followers, who understood the Duke's intentions, asked in a worried voice. "It's gonna affect us too."
Henry replied, "The church will not last long. They'll be forced to sell Spinel's mines that are no longer valuable."
Then Spinel will eventually become monopolized. Raising the price is enough.
"But we had to spend a lot of money to buy all those spinels and resell them at a low price. Will we survive..."
Isaac, who was sitting leisurely beside Henry with his eyes closed said, "Are you an idiot?"
"I'm sorry?"
"Have you forgotten who we are?"
In addition to being a hotbed of criminals, there are other nicknames for Dubbede.
Gold From the West.
They have relentless financial power.
In cash games, Dubbede always has a 100% winning percentage%.
The followers bowed their heads at once.
The meeting was over and the follower who was walking out said,
"Isn't little lady full of luck?"
"Yes, without him, we would be fooled by the church."
"He's saved Dubblede more than once. Like the goddess of luck."
Each follower falls into their own mind.
'Is he an angel too?'
'Little series Dubbede....'
'Mur...'
At the time, Leblaine did not realize her fans were growing.
...***...
I woke up after a long nap.
A few days ago, for the first time I used holy power alone without Boone's help because of Roman. I have wasted more holy power than planned.
'Since then, I've almost been a real little kid, so I don't feel well.'
I stretched myself and got out of bed.
"I'm laper, I want to eat rhoti."
I was shocked because I unconsciously sucked my finger.
'This time is serious, I used too much force.'
More than when I tried to maintain Boone's form.
His mind went back to being a child because he used too much holy power.
Suddenly, I felt like crying. There was no one in the room, so it was scary.
"Yes..."
As I cried, the servants entered the room.
"Oh my goodness, little lady. What's up?"
Shocked at the sight of my tears, the servants quickly approached me.
"Not alone."
The servants were agitated and calmed me down.
"Come on, Little Miss, don't cry. We have good news."
"Good news?"
When asked, the servants exchanged glances with each other and smiled.
"Your room is done!"
Finally finished.
I slept in the guest room that the Duke had given me when I first came to Dubblede castle.
After I was adopted, I got a room in the west building, but was put on hold to install a security device.
'My room....'
For some reason, my heart was pounding and I was crying.
Having my own room, decorated just for me, was the first time since my first life.
'Even in my first life, it wasn't my room.'
They gave me an empty room and just gave me a new table and a bed.
The servants drove me to my new room.
'We're already in the west building.'
"Here we go."
I opened the door and took a deep breath.
Great windows and beautiful walls.
All the furniture in the room was white, and the corners were decorated with beautiful golden frames.
Beautiful peach colored sofa. On the table and bookshelves lay a sweet scented candle.
It's so big that it can't compare to the guest room I've been in all this time.
"It's a room to receive guests. That's your private library door where little miss can read or study."
"There's a bedroom on the right side. And there's a bathroom and a dressing room."
"In the dressing room, you've got new clothes, new accessories, and more."
"There's also a big, wide bathtub in the bathroom, and...."
I became stiff as the maid explained the structure of the room.
"Little lady?"
The servants looked at me in wonder.
"Didn't you like it?"
I couldn't say a word, I somehow felt uneasy.
Duke Amity allowed me to stay in Mina's beautiful room before handing me over as a ritual offering.
Duke Vallua also let me rest in such a beautiful room before the torturer.
"It's time to fulfill your duty, Leblaine."
"You have to pay the price to enjoy the things I've given you."
The voices of Duke Amity and Duke Vallua came to my mind.
I curled up in the corner of the room and begged
"It's my fault. I'm mistaken. Please kill me, forgive me." I was so begging for that.
Then, the people I knew came in from outside the door.
The employees flooded both sides like the Red Sea, and the brothers, who were walking past him, looked at me.
"What's with this noise."
Isaac looked around my room and continued to speak.
"Your room is close to mine. Hey, dik. You can't just come every night to my room and say you're scared."
Then he said, "Come just three times a week. Do you understand?" and pretend to cough.
"......."
"What, why don't you answer? Oh I know. You can come four times a week. Is that enough?"
"......."
"What's wrong? You why?"
Isaac looked back at the servants as if he was wondering what was going on. But the servants shook their heads as if they knew nothing.
Henry asked, "What's wrong?"
"This is Bwaine's room."
"This is your room, Leblaine."
"But this is a princess's room!"
Henry asked back, "Sorry?"
Isaac said "What are you saying?"
"The room is too big and too cyantic..."
"What did you say? Hey, dik. The bigger and the better, the better! And your room so far has always been spacious and nice."
"That's the guest room. The guest room is good! But Bwaine's room was narrow and dark. So this is my room. It's big and it's my room!"
Stop talking like the old Leblaine! But my mind didn't cooperate, I kept feeling scared.
If you give me a nice room like Duke Amity and Duke Vallua at first, it will probably be taken again later.
What if the pain is repeated?
What if I repeat it again?
It really hurts when I think about it.
The pain felt like it was as if my body was split open and then stuck back together.
I saw them with a frightened face. Their eyes are trembling.
...***...
Henry stared blankly at Leblaine. Then as tears began to pool in her eyes, she regained her senses.
"You don't have to live in a tight, dark room right now."
"......."
"This is your room, and this castle is your home."
Henry wiped Leblaine's wet eyes with his sleeve.
"So please don't cry. It broke my heart."
He patted my head very carefully.
When Leblaine had calmed down, Henry said to the servants,
"For now, take her in the living room."
"Yes sir."
Just in time, Leah came and saw the boy and said, "Oh my God, little lady!"
Henry turned around when he saw Lea taking Leblaine away.
But Isaac stood up with an unchanging posture as Leblaine began to cry.
"What, don't get in the way, go."
henry said, furrowing his brows. Isaac looked at his brother, desperate like a dog with ears and tail hanging.
"Brother, what kind of room did Leblaine used to live in?"
Born the youngest of Dubbede's three children, she couldn't easily imagine a cramped, dirty room.
Same with Henry.
"There is a note about Leblaine being sent by the Empress to the Administrator's Office. That note will tell you where she grew up."
"Let's go."
"Good."
They immediately headed to the administrative office where Nos was located.
When the two brothers, who had come out of nowhere, asked Leblaine's notes, they were all confused.
"Do you have any data from the orphanage? Same with the room."
"Yes, I checked it out a few days ago, and here it is."
Isaac looked into the image provided by the administrator and narrowed his eyes.
"Not this, the room where the boy used to live. Not a warehouse."
"That's his room."
"What?"
