“But if you’re still curious about what happened on Palavi Island, I can tell you this.”
Agatha continued talking after deliberately lowering her voice and increasing her speaking speed.
“This trade will bring great benefits to both Nobilis and Aratus, as well as to all those involved in this enterprise. His Majesty will be very pleased.”
At the mention of the investment that not all noble families were currently able to participate in, laughter began to spread throughout the previously silent garden.
“Yes, Baroness Mident asked such an obvious question.”
“It was widely rumored that His Majesty was very pleased at that time.”
After that, Agatha didn't need to continue the story. Those who were watching her mood added and developed the story on their own.
“By the way, all this year’s wines are delicious.”
“I need to buy some red wine from the southern part of the country.”
“Is this the wine that came in through the Nobilis top?”
“Since Lady Agatha must have been picky about it, the quality is guaranteed.”
“I need to buy a few more boxes too.”
Agatha laughed, tapping the glass. Like a calm sea, the story of the Mainukor delegation was no longer told, but the underwater world was not like that.
“I think I had too much wine. I’ll go rest in the garden for a bit and come back.”
“Yes, Ma’am. Have a nice day.”
Agatha left Isabelle, who had come with her, among the ladies who had become quiet for a moment and went out. As she sat down on a sofa under a bright lamp, Lady Iris approached her.
“There was no evidence that Baroness Mident was attached to Neuta.”
“I thought so. She was originally a bit of a rude person.”
It seemed that word had spread that Prince Ferdinand was among the Mainukor delegation.
The appearance of Agatha, who had just married her seventh wedding, and her second ex-husband would have been a delightful story for people like Baroness Mident.
'Should I give you a little attention?'
Agatha tends to turn a blind eye to whatever stories are being told behind her back, but this time it was different.
It was right in front of her that the Baroness opened her mouth.
Besides, thinking about what would happen in the future, it might have been a good idea to give it a little push at this point.
Because sometimes there are bound to be people who think, “Isn’t this okay?”
“Baroness Mident’s cash flow isn’t all that great right now, is it?”
Madame Iris smiled after hearing Agatha's words.
“I heard that the top investment did not yield good results.”
“Oh, she must be in desperate need of help, but I don’t know if anyone has the time these days to do so.”
“But since the family has the strength, wouldn’t it be possible to hold out for a while?”
“Then that’s really fortunate.”
In the upper reaches of Nobilis' influence, there would be no one willing to lend money to the Baroness Mident.
It may not have been a great means, but it would have been a light warning.
Agatha got up from the sofa with a much lighter heart.
“I guess I should go back to the mansion now.”
Enoch would be waiting. It just so happened that he had just had enough time.
When Agatha expressed her intention to return, Countess Jodolf, who had hosted today's tasting, came out to say goodbye.
“Are you going back already?”
“Yes, I had a great time today thanks to you, Ma'am.”
“Don’t worry. There must have been some shortcomings, but I’m glad that you said you enjoyed it.”
“Then see you at the next meeting.”
“Please go in carefully.”
The moon is full. Agatha, who had been blankly looking out the window of the moving carriage, opened her eyes wide.
As soon as she passed through the front gate of the newlywed mansion, she saw someone in front of the main mansion in the distance.
He is her husband.
"Enoch."
“Hello, Agatha.”
Agatha ran into Enoch's arms as soon as Leon, who escorted her today, opened the door.
“Agatha?”
The man who naturally held her in his arms whispered softly as if asking if something had happened.
“I’m glad you’re in the mansion.”
“...”
He let out a long breath and smiled lukewarmly.
“It feels like it was worth waiting until late.”
“I have a question.”
“What could it be?”
Agatha rested her chin on Enoch's solid chest and looked up at him. The hand that still had a rough look on it lightly stroked her cheek.
“Tell me. I’m curious.”
“I went to the salon today and met Baroness Mident.”
“Mident.”
“Seeing she dare mention the Mainukor Empire delegation in front of me, I thought that there must be someone like her who would bring up such a thing.”
“...Was that so?”
The man who had been staring at her like sugar slowly moved his gaze beyond her. Agatha frowned.
“Where are you looking? I’ve already taken care of Mrs. Mident.”
“Well done.”
The man returned his gaze to the original position and smiled softly.
“It’s your turn now. Has anyone dared to say anything to you?”
“It didn’t exist. Even if it did exist, I made it so it didn’t exist.”
Is that true?
Agatha narrowed her eyes and stared at Enoch. She seemed a little dazed, perhaps because she was a little drunk.
The hand that had been patting her back moved down, and before she knew it, Enoch was picking her up in his arms.
“It’s cold, so why don’t we go in first and finish talking? I’ll take you to the bathroom.”
"...Great."
That night seemed to have been a bit warmer. When Agatha woke up in the morning, she recalled the conversation from last night, touched her forehead, and tried to agree.
It was fortunate that Enoch had no problems.
After Agatha took action, no one ever asked her about the Mainukor delegation again.
The warning delivered by the Baron Mident family was well-known throughout society.
Autumn, when the leaves begin to fall.
The biggest news that came as the autumn social circle opened was, of course, the appearance of a delegation dispatched by the Mainukor Empire.
Agatha, who was renovating the capital Aratus Mansion, the honeymoon mansion, and the Nobilis 1st and 3rd mansions to welcome fall, put down her documents when she heard cheers coming from afar.
“I see they’re here.”
“I must have just passed through the gate.”
First Assistant, Ethel, who had been reporting on the status of the mansion from the front, opened her mouth.
The moment to sigh.
The maid, Jessie, came in with a polite knock and greeted him politely.
“I’m back, Ma’am.”
The maid who had been sent to the vicinity of the city gate at the time the delegation arrived returned.
“How was it?”
“The delegation was coming in, so they were scattering flowers on the street. His Highness the Second Prince was at the forefront of them.”
“It’s going to get really noisy from now on.”
The social world was abuzz with rumors that her second ex-husband was coming.
Agatha warned the Baroness, but now that the real thing has appeared, she wonders how much chaos there will be.
It wasn't very good timing for the appearance, as Neuta also had to be concerned.
“But, Ma’am.”
"Yes?"
Jessie, who had been fidgeting with her hands the whole time, suddenly opened her mouth.
“I heard a new rumor on my way here.”
“What rumors did you hear?”
“They say that the second Prince’s son is in the delegation.”
"What?"
Agatha blinked rapidly in confusion. Jessie had seen Fernand’s son, Adan Mainyu, since he had been with Agatha during her second marriage.
“You saw it with your own eyes?”
“Yes, I saw it at the end of the delegation.”
You brought your son with you to Roxbad?
"Oh my God."
Should I say he's generous or stupid?
Agatha's head started to hurt. Honestly, she didn't care what Fernand did with his son, but bringing him to Roxbad was a different story.
Judging from the fact that he accompanied the delegation, the son must have been at least an adult.
She think he was about sixteen years old.
‘...Surely you didn’t come here to look for a bride, did you?’
Agatha shook her head, trying to erase the absurd thoughts that had suddenly occurred to her.
The social circles and the entire capital will become even more noisy.
“Ethel. Let’s find out why the Second Prince brought the son here.”
"All right."
Agatha doesn't know what they are thinking, but the more prepared she is, the less shock she'll experience.
'I need to pay more attention to Neuta.'
Plus, trends in social circles.
Agatha immediately took out the letter. The recipients were Madame Iris and Madame Charlotte.
The delegation dispatched from the Mainukor Empire entered the capital of the Roxbad Empire to a grand welcome.
Although he had been married to Agatha Nobilis, this was the first time that Prince Fernand had visited the Roxbad Empire.
Fernand, who had been looking for Agatha until he met the Emperor of Roxbad, bowed to the majestic sound of the horn.
“His Majesty the Emperor of the Roxbad Empire.”
The appearance of the Emperor of the Roxbad Empire, Warmila II.
“Welcome to Roxbad, Prince Ferdinand.”
“I am embarrassed.”
Platinum blonde hair and blue eyes.
The middle-aged Emperor had quite a few similarities to Agatha, as expected from a close-blood relative.
The Count of Montiol, the representative of the Mainukor Empire who had received Fernand's nod, politely handed the letter to the Emperor of the Mainukor Empire.
“His Majesty the Emperor of the Mainukor Empire has asked me to convey his regards to His Majesty. This is the letter.”
The Emperor burst into laughter when he received the letter from his chamberlain.
“Yes, it looks like the agreement will be carried out as is. The welcoming ball will be held soon, so get some rest until then, Second Prince.”
“I am embarrassed.”
The Emperor's gaze briefly fell on a young man who resembled Ferdinand among the delegation.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly, but the only people who noticed were the chief chamberlain and the captain of the guard who was close to the Emperor.
Agatha continued talking after deliberately lowering her voice and increasing her speaking speed.
“This trade will bring great benefits to both Nobilis and Aratus, as well as to all those involved in this enterprise. His Majesty will be very pleased.”
At the mention of the investment that not all noble families were currently able to participate in, laughter began to spread throughout the previously silent garden.
