Chapter 132

* * *

A territory near the borderlands.

“The territory name was Bellus, right?”

“Yes, Miss. The meaning is lovely…”

“A territory with a name meaning lovely, pretty, and cute. But the atmosphere is quite gloomy. The trees are as dense as a jungle too.”

Max, who had been excitedly trying to explain to me, drooped down. Grans beside him patted his shoulder.

‘Hey, I know the stuff that comes out in that wheat bread best.’

Actually, it was bluffing.

‘I was just Player 1 Han Ina who only knew how to romance the Male Leads as Coriko and dominate at Frazier House.’

But now I’m Tulia Frazier.

Even a direct granddaughter with incredible power!

Plus, the owner of a nightmare-like personality who turns opponents into punching bags whenever she feels slightly annoyed!

So I had used Tulia’s power in advance to receive letters from people who knew the destination well.

* * *

[This is something only the Belus Territory Residents know through word of mouth, but there are rumors that dangerous Sorcerers roam in groups around the Western Forest at night.

Based on the map you sent, at the signpost there’s a large oak tree with no leaves to the left…]

Clara was reflecting on the contents of the letter she had written so earnestly when she suddenly came to her senses at the touch of a hand on her shoulder.

“Clara.”

“Oh, yes. Head Maid Adel.”

She politely clasped her hands together in front of Adel.

Adel had a quiet and calm personality even before being selected as Tulia’s personal Maid. Thanks to that, she also had a cold side in some ways.

Adel who was only kind to Tulia.

In other words, if they were people who had tormented Tulia, she was merciless even if they were Fraziers.

Adel asked.

“How is Lady Aubrey?”

“She was exactly the same as usual today.”

What Clara pulled out from her pouch were glittering gold coins.

Precisely 2 million gold.

According to the judgment, it was the budget allocated to Viscount Lilius and Tedrick.

Of this, only 1.5 million gold was Viscount Lilius’s monthly budget, and the remaining 500,000 gold was the budget for Tedrick who was banished to the Border.

An amount so insufficient that even starving for half the month wouldn’t be enough, truly less than workers’ wages.

“To think she’s trying to secretly send even this all to Master Tedrick. How remarkable.”

Aubrey was embezzling even the 1.5 million gold that should go to Viscount Lilius and sending it all to Tedrick.

“What should we do? Head Maid.”

“As Lady Tulia ordered, send it as is. Don’t forget to steal one or two of the reply letters Master Tedrick sends. That’s also what Lady Tulia instructed.”

Tedrick sent letters to Aubrey every month whining for more money.

Saying he felt like he was going to freeze to death because he couldn’t buy even one more warm log with the 2 million gold sent monthly.

[Mother’s one and only son is dying every day from a severe cold! Please send more money! 2 million gold is nowhere near enough! The blankets are like thin paper and the sleeping bag is hard!]

2 million gold.

2 million gold.

2 million gold.

The reason Tulia was secretly stealing one or two of Tedrick’s whining letters asking for more money was obvious.

‘She’s planning to send them to Viscount Lilius.’

So that their already ruined relationship would be completely torn apart.

Sometimes it was incomprehensible.

Why this incredibly smart young lady who seemed capable of court intrigue had lived being neglected by her wicked relatives until now.

“Then go back and carry out Miss’s orders, Clara.”

“Yes. Head Maid.”

Clara quickly bowed her head and withdrew.

After being miraculously rescued from the Illegal Slave Auction House by Adel sent by Tulia, she absolutely obeyed Tulia.

Clara headed straight to where Aubrey was staying.

Aubrey had been sentenced to indefinite house arrest and was confined to live in small, old Annex Buildings.

As soon as she saw Clara bringing the shabby meal befitting her house arrest, she screamed as if having a fit.

“How many times do I have to tell you to assign a different girl as my Maid instead of you?! Get out right now and call the Head Maid! There’s a limit to ignoring what I say!”

Clara set down the tray with a click, her face expressionless.

“I’ll collect the tray in 10 minutes. Oh, Madam. Since you smashed all the dishes last time, we won’t provide dishes anymore.”

“What?”

Aubrey, who stood up a beat late, trembled with humiliation looking at the tray left alone.

“How dare, how dare you treat me like this?! I’m a daughter-in-law of Frazier House! I’m of different birth than the likes of you!”

On the old wooden tray, there wasn’t a single dish. Just one hard piece of Bread, one Cucumber about to go bad, and a small amount of Butter carelessly spread on the bread with a teaspoon.

“Of course. You’re different from lowly things like me.”

Clara glanced at her pocket watch to check the time and continued in a flat voice.

“Then to make your situation the same as mine, I’ll report to His Grace the Grand Duke right now that you sold me to an Illegal Slave Auction House.”

“What, what? C-Clara! Tulia definitely said she’d keep that matter secret…!”

“That was Lady Tulia. But I’m the one who was sold, aren’t I, Madam.”

“That was because I, I temporarily lost my mind…!”

But Clara’s eyes were full of raw hatred.

In the end, Aubrey trembled.

She crammed the bread about to go bad into her mouth without any more complaints.

“Clara. If Aubrey says anything, answer that you’ll report to the Grand Duke. Well, if you really want to report it, that’s fine too. Since you were the one sold, you have the right to that much revenge, don’t you?”

Tulia didn’t know, but those were words no Noble would say.

Clara looked coldly down at the once beautiful and cruel Noble Ladies, Aubrey Frazier, who was choking on bread.

Aubrey’s hair had turned white in just a few months.

She was no longer the young, beautiful, elegant noble lady draped in wealth and power.

Her shoulders were hunched and her dignified grace was nowhere to be found.

She had become just a crazy woman steeped in delusions that someday her son would grow up to cut Tulia’s throat, drink her blood, and avenge today’s humiliation.

‘Ah. Right. There were olive fruits that only grow in Belus Territory. Lady Tulia might like them. Should I mention it to her?’

Clara, who had locked a large steel padlock on the door Outside the annex, hurried to write a new letter.

* * *

“Huff, gasp. Miss. This is really my first time seeing such rough terrain.”

“You guys, were you soldiers instead of Knights?”

“Actually, we see this every day! Perfect for morning training!”

“A strong and good morning!”

The Knights straightened their chests and immediately started jogging.

Max scratched his head.

“Lady Tulia. You handle the knights quite well.”

Grans, who had been following behind me, answered from the side.

“Our lady is naturally good at everything.”

“Indeed, she is the Marquis’s daughter.”

“She’s grown up well on her own from birth.”

“They say good seeds bear good fruit…”

‘Are those two getting along well or badly?’

Sometimes it seemed like they were building rapport over me, then competing with each other over me again. It was amusing.

Whether the two of them fought with their eyes or not, I continued deeper into the western forest.

‘Definitely. There was a cave in the western forest in the game too.’

But Clara’s letter was bothering me.

‘Why did she say sorcerers are appearing in groups in the western forest?’

Sorcerers were mentioned in too, but they were really just descriptions with no presence.

They didn’t even appear in Belus Territory.

‘Hmm.’

What happened in Belus Territory just 2 or 3 years before Coriko appeared?

But I couldn’t not go in. Because the item I was looking for was right in the center of the cave, deep in this dense western forest.

Namely, fertilizer.

So, the full name is ‘Rainbow Fertilizer.’

“…”

It was an embarrassingly childish name to say out loud, but this item’s effects were amazing.

Originally one of the common settings in martial arts novels. A warrior who takes an elixir or spirit pill gains tremendous spiritual power.

You could say this was the fertilizer version of that item?

‘It’s an item that can turn even a desert where not a single blade of grass grows into fertile land if you plant it there.’

In , if you obtained this item, you could see the ‘wealthy farmer’ ending.

Because you could buy large amounts of barren land cheaply and turn it into the continent’s greatest granary.

But I couldn’t settle for just the wealthy farmer ending. The reason? It was simple.

Because what I need to see is an A-rank ending.

I gritted my teeth and glared at Poop Star flying around leisurely today as well.

‘I sent a letter to Ramus Jeremiah the day before departing for here.’

To be precise, it was a commission.

To definitely obtain one ‘jewel’ that I wanted.

‘Originally I wanted to make the commission earlier, but this guy’s down payment is no joke.’

In the end, I desperately saved my allowance, secretly sold the jewelry I had, and gradually received surplus budget as bonuses with Grandfather’s permission, finally managing to prepare the down payment.

Thanks to that I became penniless, but I didn’t regret it at all.

“I will accept the commission. Lady Tulia Frazier.”

Because Ramus Jeremiah only accepted this enormous down payment when he could guarantee 100% success.

What I wanted wasn’t anything else. It was the hidden item from inside that jewel.

‘White Tulip Seeds.’

An incredible item that creates explosive wealth synergy when combined with Rainbow Fertilizer.

If I succeed with today’s plan and get both items in my hands.

‘The first place to empty their pockets will naturally be the Imperial Family.’

If she knew what White Tulip Seeds were, Empress Carmi, who especially values beauty, would completely lose her mind.

Maybe she’d even try to please me, begging me to sell them to her.

Clang, clang!

I could hear the sound of money piling up in real-time surround sound.

Standing in front of the cave, I shouted loudly.

“Guys, let’s go!”
