Chapter 139
* * *
“We apologize, benefactor miss.”
Klaus’s subordinates prostrated themselves flat and banged their heads on the ground.
“Please forgive our prince’s rudeness. For the Lupinus bloodline, ‘Wolf’s Submission’ is that important, so our prince unknowingly got very angry.”
“We apologize, benefactor miss.”
“We apologize.”
Thanks to the subordinates sincerely apologizing, I suppose.
Klaus and I shut our mouths tight without any more arguments and only looked in opposite directions from each other.
No, actually I was looking at Poop Star.
‘Hey, Kim Ddongbyeol.’
How are you going to take responsibility for this?
To be precise, it was Tulia’s personality that emerged from within me that made my relationship with Klaus hit rock bottom.
Anyway, since that damn Kim Ddongbyeol was the beginning of all this trouble, I blamed that bastard.
‘…We did fight terribly, but actually that shouldn’t have happened.’
After all, the male lead is the male lead.
I need to somehow keep him by my side and quickly raise his affection level.
But if I just told him I’m not interested in you, do you have prince syndrome, are you a terminally ill axe maniac, and all sorts of harsh and rough words, and now suddenly ask him to come with me…
Even if he’s the male lead, wouldn’t he be pissed off?
Wouldn’t I look like a crazy girl?
‘I want to receive Coriko’s buff.’
If I were the female lead, even if I said such things, it would have been easily resolved somehow.
I let out another sigh—I don’t know how many times I’ve sighed internally—and started walking.
That’s right.
It was to break through this predicament by using Max and Grans’s brains instead of my own.
When I had taken a few steps like that.
Swoosh.
“…?!”
I was suddenly stopped. And then, once again as expected.
“…”
Klaus Rosevar pulled me into his arms.
“Geez, really…”
Experiencing this situation for the second time, I now looked at the subordinates instead of Klaus and asked.
“Hey guys.”
“Yes…”
“Is your prince really actually insane?”
“…Ahem.”
“Well, that is…”
While even the subordinates carefully averted their gazes.
Klaus, who had suddenly pulled me into his arms, said “Ah” and rubbed his face roughly with one hand again.
“This is driving me crazy. The submission hit too strongly.”
“…?”
“Damn it…”
Even in this situation, Klaus’s body clinging to me felt thin enough that I could occasionally feel his bones, but the fundamental body type itself was solid like a war horse.
Contact where such a unique balance could be felt raw.
If I described it as feeling like a thoroughbred stallion that hadn’t been able to consume food for a long time, would that be too harsh a description for him?
Anyway, what I’m more curious about right now is.
“…Could you help me understand what you mean? No, no. Just in case, I’ll say what I’m guessing right now, so just answer ‘yes’ or ‘no.'”
I asked while being held in Klaus’s arms, just in case.
“That damn submission thing.”
“Yeah.”
“By any chance, even if you’re just a little bit away, you tremble like a dog with separation anxiety…”
“…”
“Do you have to keep clinging to me like this all the time? Because you feel like you’ll go crazy if you don’t?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Seeing the subordinates who couldn’t dare lift their heads, and Klaus Rosevar who didn’t answer but started turning red not just in his face but even his ears and neck, I got the feeling.
“…Wow. I guess I’m right.”

Several days later.
The work of collecting the corpses of victims in the cave and distinguishing and categorizing the corpses of heretics was still ongoing.
“Miss, there’s nothing good for you to see.”
“I’m the lord here, so I should see it.”
“As expected, miss… you are outstanding.”
Grans had a really strange personality.
Among the trio including Adel and the personal physician, he had the most taciturn personality, but when it came to me, he would reveal such doting aspects like this.
I crossed my arms and watched the workers moving the corpses.
The fact that all the victims were children made me feel disgusted.
“There were also children who begged to be left alone, saying they would stay quiet.”
“Yes. There were quite a few of them.”
“Then the parents sold their children…”
“When you’re poor, there’s nothing to eat. They probably meant for their children to go to a good place and not starve.”
“If that’s the case, it would be rather good. It would be even better if the children believed that and met their end.”
Since most of the corpses were dismembered, it was difficult to identify them. I nodded at the words that at least a few of them could be traced for identification.
“Are all the heretics dead?”
“Three are alive. They’re already being transported to the main castle.”
“It would be better for grandfather to check personally. This isn’t something that can be concluded at my level.”
Perhaps the temple might get involved. The fact that such heretics were conducting human sacrifices was indeed a huge matter.
Then, body heat stealthily clinging to my shoulder. I pushed it away with my hand.
“Hey. It’s cold, so get away from me.”
“You told me to go away earlier, so I stayed away for a whole 10 minutes.”
“You were only away for 10 minutes, right? And you know what? You’re really getting in the way.”
“Ha.”
Klaus’s pupils, filled with raw, wild colors, immediately narrowed.
“I don’t like being stuck to your side either.”
“Then go away!”
“Damn it! You’re the one who made me like this!”
“I told you not to say such things outside because people will misunderstand, didn’t I?”
Klaus Rosevar.
He was firmly under the magic of submission, staying close by my side.
No, more than just staying close, he would embrace my shoulders and waist, and sometimes even press his lips to the nape of my neck.
Though he would startle himself and pull away afterward.
‘He’s being controlled. Poor guy.’
I found common ground between Klaus and myself in my own way, so I didn’t entirely dislike him.
No, from the beginning.
‘There would be extremely few women who could dislike a face like this.’
Perhaps because he was a prince born from beast bloodline.
I could bet my entire fortune that any woman who received his gaze would have even the fine hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.
I too agreed that Klaus’s appearance was quite exceptional.
The problem was this guy’s consistently low body temperature.
Was it a characteristic of the Lupinus Royal Family?
The cave was already freezing cold, but the more he clung to me, the more my body temperature dropped.
Thanks to that, today I had even put on a fur-lined overcoat before coming out.
“But I wonder what the heretics were hoping for by performing human sacrifices.”
Max, who followed me around every day, expressed his doubt. Grans slightly furrowed his brow.
“That day there was definitely some strange orb floating near the altar, but it disappeared during the battle.”
“We keep searching but there’s no trace of it.”
“None of the heretics survived, so where could it have gone?”
“Even Commander Samut continues searching for that mysterious orb, yet he says not even the slightest trace can be found.”
“It’s as if it evaporated… It seemed like an important clue, what should we do now that it’s gone?”
What Grans and Max were seriously discussing was precisely the ‘Rainbow Fertilizer.’
That very mysterious object that had completely disappeared during the battle that day.
‘That’s in my possession, guys.’
I received it as a Hidden Quest reward.
Thanks to that, I now had both the Rainbow Fertilizer and White Tulip Seeds in my hands.
If there was something they had in common, it was that rainbow colors beautifully rippled along their outlines.
I had admired them as if entranced while lying alone in bed last night.
And how my heart had raced.
‘Finally I… will become filthy rich.’
Tulia Frazier, who had lived as the beggar of beggars, always watching others’ faces! Han Ina!
Will become wealthy!
‘Whew. Let’s stay calm for now. Stay calm.’
I tried to suppress my excitement and called out to Grans.
“Grans?”
“Yes, Miss.”
“How is what I had you prepare separately coming along?”
“As you instructed, we’re preparing all one million pyeong of forest land. There are many vines growing, but fortunately we have plenty of idle hands so the work is progressing quickly. In about four days, it will be completely prepared like any other field.”
“Good, good.”
* * *
Grans had said four days, but this border was a place where poor people gathered to live.
Meanwhile, when a large number of jobs offering proper wages were created, many farmers rushed to take them.
Thanks to that, the work was almost finished in three days instead of four.
“Wow. It really is vast.”
Like the French Plains, the endlessly stretching fields with no mountains in sight gave me a sense of liberation, like looking out at the vast ocean from a ship’s deck.
“What are you looking at?”
Of course, I wasn’t alone in peaceful solitude.
The wolf hybrid (at least a dazzling handsome man) who clung to my side all day was attached to me today as well.
“Can’t you tell by looking? I’m surveying the plains.”
“For that, your eyes look a bit more sunken.”
‘Wow. Sharp guy.’
He seemed to have been studying my gaze all the while.
“The land is so vast it looks just like the ocean. I was amazed by that.”
“Is that so. But the ocean is much more enormous than this.”
“I suppose so. I’ve never seen it in person.”
“…You’ve never seen the ocean? Not even once?”
“No.”
I had only seen it on TV or my phone, but had never actually seen the ocean in person.
That’s why I was so envious when my younger sibling would brag about going to the ocean with the family…
“Should I take you to see the ocean?”
“Huh?”
“What’s so sad about that that you’re making an expression like you’re about to cry now? It’s ruining the mood.”
“I look like I’m about to cry? What are you talking about? Is talking nonsense your hobby?”
“Now that’s more like your usual expression.”
He really was an unpredictable prince bastard.
I glared at Klaus once, then completely escaped from my reverie.
Right. What’s important is what’s spread out before my eyes.
Money.
Money.
Money!
‘This abandoned land will become a golden goose that produces the most valuable crops on the entire continent within a month.’
Laughter naturally leaked out.
“Stay away for a moment.”
“Running away won’t help.”
“I know well from experiencing it for days, so stay away for a bit. I have something to do.”
Finally leaving Klaus at a distance, I bent down toward the ground.
The land that had been rotting and abandoned for so long, the vast forest land of Belus Territory.
I finally planted the ‘Rainbow Fertilizer’ into this place.
