To be honest, and without hiding any thoughts in my mind and without lying, my investments were a huge success. A month has passed since then, the perfume that I invested in and the tea business has become popular. It was difficult at first because of the prejudice that people has on tea, and the person who started the perfume products wasn’t well-known. I had to ask Saman for one of his weird ideas to make the project work. I had chosen to start my official business under another name, as an unknown investor. Caroline’s brother, Sir Robert, was the intermediate person between me and my investments’ partners. I provided the money for their projects and my business as well. I was decided to make a small café for noble children. They have to come in alone without the adults and purchase what they want.
My café sold different drinks amongst them was milk tea, ice tea, white tea, oolong tea, green tea… I r
« I never thought that Madeleine would tell you this. I was thinking of helping him in his business. I remembered you from his coming-of-age ceremony, I thought that that girl must be someone who has a lot of talents, but she doesn’t have the courage to show it, » I said.« Oooh my, you remembered me from that time. It really means a lot to me. I’ve always thought of opening my own business, but I’ll try my best at this job. »«Thank you for helping him. He is quite shy, I still remember when he used to get bullied because he didn’t have any friends… Being different is hard.»« You are right. You seem like a wise lady. Excuse my previous behaviour, but as soon as Sir Madeleine has told me about you, I did some digging. You are truly amazing. You’ve attended the Bendione academy at an early age. »
Edward sent me a letter the next day saying that he expects me to win the competition because he has plans to change the prejudice that the women of the kingdom have on themselves. Sending letters was too much. I guess I’ll make plans to craft my communicator faster. I think that it will be a great thing to do right now, I’ll send a few ones to all my friends and partners in the investments. This way, I’ll be able to exchange pieces of information faster. Lately, I had received a gift from one of my partners. It was a luxurious pipe. I hoped that it would be something else when it arrived. I guess I’ll have to make a trip to the capital, to meet the one who sent me this. Well, at least, there was someone who thought of it. He is the count Lucio Ramirez. A person who had only the title but no money on his account.In my last life, his products were popular because they wer
Any noble can join today’s competition. Because of the increase in the number of demons spotted, the king has planned for this competition to help reduce their numbers and protect the citizens. The hunting contest will occur in the forest of Dijan. It’s where Damien’s last expedition happened.«Oooh my God! Isn’t that General Hawk?» said one of the women.« I hard that the prince of Dominic country is in love with her. He proposed to her many times, but she rejected him. He is really determined to take our only female general ! »« Don’t you think that it’s good for us? Having a female general is a disgrace. Women’s place is in her husband’s home. »«I agree. I can’t understand those women who go to the battlefield or do a job that isn’t
«Thank you for fixing this up. I thought that my maid would be coming soon to help me. I’ll scold her later,» she said.« As expected from a doll, she can’t do anything herself. No wonder I didn’t see you earlier. I don’t like playing with dolls if you see what I mean. Should I call for your maid to escort you out, because we can’t guarantee your safety here? You know this is a competition if you didn’t hear it right. »« Are you saying that I am an idiot? »« I don’t see any alternative since you aren’t participating. Did you lose your way? If this the case, notify your knights, they’ll escort you to a safe place where you belong, or are you trying to prey into what doesn’t to you? »« And does it belong to you? »
«It’s time for us to return, my family is probably freaked out. My mother is a worrywart, she’ll cry. I don’t want to trouble them,» I said.«Don’t worry, they probably know that you are with me. She won’t cry, but you’re right; we’ll get to know who won the competition.»«You said you are expecting me to win but you are making me lose here.»«I am not in the competition. I am hunting for fun.»I see. So now, I hope that I hunted enough to win the competition. Seriously, I am not interested in winning it. I am doing it for Edward. We talked, flirted and laughed all the way. We had to take a detour since the cliff is so high.«Look, isn’t he Madeleine? The one riding that horse,
«My Lady, help me. I can’t die, my family counts on me. I did everything following your orders. You can’t abandon me,» the lackey cried.Reina showed an annoyed face. I know this, she is probably thinking ‘is he serious? He was made to take the blame in the first place’. This show is entertaining, I wanted to investigate what happened today, but Edward beat me to it.« Who sent you? Speak, who sent you to frame me? You are ungrateful, my family had taken you under her wings to make your life better, but you harmed us. How can you be this bad? I can’t believe that there is someone who wants to harm us, » then she showed fake tears.I wonder what she thinks. She is probably wearing a necklace that makes her thoughts unreadable. I feel sleepy. Reina kneeled, holding her mouth crying. I must applaud her; she is too g
«Hey Bonine, do you know what Edward’s servants say about him?» said Davina.After speaking to my father, I returned to my room. I wanted to think more about what he said to me. The Azur order really exists, but why is my father such an important thing from us? And why is it even secretive? The world is full of weird things. I was lying thinking when Davina came and lied down next to me. I can see that she didn’t sleep well too.« No, how they talk about him? » I asked.«I thought that you heard it. I am disappointed, you who is sensitive about everything that is said about him.»« I never cared about people’s talk; you know how women tend to change the reality of things. »« You’re right. I heard a maid saying that a beast tamer appear
We returned the next day like scheduled. I was so curious about the Azur order that I went to see my father in his office immediately after changing my clothes. I wouldn’t say I like it when I don’t know anything important like this. Perhaps it’s the reason why my father was murdered in my last life. If I know what this is about, then I’ll know what William is aiming for or at least part of it.«I was waiting for you, Bonine. I know that your curiosity is bigger than you,» said my father.I smiled knowing that my father knows my character, I doubted him in my last life, he always had a stern face that I thought he didn’t care about us. Even when I used to ask for something, he answered me in a poker face; I had a hard time translating his emotions.« I came to know what I need to know and I’ll tell you what you need to know. I
« I am sorry father, but you should go somewhere else, » I whispered.«I won’t…»« You don’t have any choice. I am sending you. I’ll see you if I could. »I don’t know where I sent my father, but I made sure to fuel the spell enough for it. I know that this might be a mistake, but I wasn’t going to let my father hinder me. He exhausted all of his mana.« I will be your opponent, William, » I said, taking my sword out and pointing it towards him.« I don’t want to fight you, Lady Bonine. I know that you have exceptional skills, but you won’t be able to fight me. »« How would I know if I don’t try? »«Lady Bonine, I wa
I felt that something was going to happen. My mind was restless this whole afternoon. I changed my clothes in a simple dress. I can’t deny that I had a hard time calming Caroline, who was scared to get exposed. I am glad for one thing; I gave all my family jewels that have a special stone, as long as they are wearing it, I would sense that they are okay. Once the stone gets destroyed, I would feel it and rush to help them. As long as he has it, I won’t feel worried about anything.«My Lady, you won’t sleep. It’s already past 10,» said Caroline.I stared at her and asked if my father got back from the castle; she shook her head negatively. I requested her to make another teacup. I had already decided to stay awake until my father returned. I closed my eyes, resting my head against the sofa. The sleep submerged me, but I had to make sure that my father was alright. I was
«Caroline, I’ll be going out today. Just cover for me, I don’t know the others to know about this,» I said.«But my Lady, you are creating troubles for me. I won’t be able to get away if I am found out,» she replied.« Don’t worry; my father knows that I am such a troublesome child. »As I finished putting on my clothes, I jumped from the balcony, leaving Caroline dumb-founded. I heard that there is good competition at the GREAT WIZARD. It’s a place that I remember from my past life; I passed by it when I went strolling the capital with Edward. I still remember it; it was a raining day. I teleported myself to the capital. When you are sneaking away, you don’t need a carriage.I wandered through the street and came across the market. It was placed in a series of rooftops co
« Bonine. Lately, you have been absent-minded. What happened? Is it something that is bothering you? » Inquired Davina, worried.« It’s nothing. I’ve been having trouble sleeping. Lately, it must be because of it. Davina, do you respect Sir William Ramezinat ? »«Actually, I despise him.»« Why? »« I don’t know; I don’t like him. He gets on my nerves every time; he shows up. »He got on my nerves too. Since that day, he’s been visiting the Rayginaz state every two days. I don’t know how to get rid of him. After his third visit, he was casual to the maids; they admired his handsomeness. I need to be wary of the changes that occurred. If I were in his shoes, I would plant a spy on my father. Someone who could&
« You got used to it, pinning me down this way. Are you playing the tough guy, Edward? » I asked coming closer to his face, but it wasn't easy to maintain the position, so I let myself sink into the bed.I felt his breathing above my neck; it was tickling me. Ignoring my question, he went at it again. He made me want him and backed off. I felt his strong right hand over mine freeing the other one, and his other hand on my right hip. I moved my free hand to his chest, unbuttoning his shirt.«Don’t move. You won’t get away if you keep moving,» he whispered.« How did you get here? »I remembered that if my father saw him, things could get ugly. I don’t want him to go anywhere. He scrutinized my face as I felt his hand down my spine.&laqu
« I heard from your brother Durian that you beat your father. Impressive. What a pity! I wasn’t here. I had to run an errand downtown, » said Davina.« What a pity indeed! I didn’t beat him by the way. I thought that you are going to leave. Anyway, how come Durian told you about my duel with my brother? Strange indeed, is there some improvement? » I said, putting my fingers on my chin.« I told him that I want to exchange letters with him and he accepted it, » she replied, proud of herself.«I guess he is the type of person that waits for the girl to make a move.»Davina looked up, opening her mouth to talk but finished by keeping silence. I peeked at where she was staring at; Durian was standing in front of my father’s office reading documents; the door of the office was opened. I looked b
