TVOTP - Chapter 25




Well, what do you think?

Anyway. I'm rumored to be a bad girl, so I don't think this is okay.

I'm just going to shamelessly gulp down this expensive gift and swallow it.

To be honest, I thought about sending a letter to Iels Townhouse to thank them for such a precious gift.

That's because it's polite.

But I didn't like the fact that my letter would arrive there, so I decided to stop.

The high-profile public confrontation has finally ended.

If I don't contact him anymore and it ends cleanly, it will be good for his reputation.

"Yes, this is right."

I nodded and carefully put the bracelet with the deep purple Thiels back in the box.

As it was my precious treasure No. 1, I took it to the light green locker in the lab.

Inside the locker was a diary that still wouldn't be opened, and a book on rare disease treatments.

And add the Thiels bracelet I got from Rudnine!

I called Carol to test it, and this light green locker can only be opened by me, so it also serves as a sturdy secret safe.

"Oh, I'm proud!"

You could say it was a sense of pride, but for some reason, I felt courageous.

Although my first Thiels was given as a gift, I will buy a little bit of Thiels every time I have money.

I had faith that I would be able to treat it step by step.

In the meantime, due to the ridiculously expensive and difficult rarity of getting, collecting Thiels felt like a mountain and was too daunting.

Even though I am the Imperial Princess of the Argenthoz, I have various handicaps.

However, when he saw Thiels, who was gifted to him by Duke Rudnine, in front of me, I was filled with hope.

'It's a mountain of dust!'

I was a Korean office worker who survived even in worse circumstances.

And I forgot something important, but I know about this original story.

So I'm in an advantageous position.

I bravely closed the door of my locker and sat down in front of a large desk in the lab.

"Now, let's think about it carefully."

First of all, I quickly borrowed ten million gold from the Duke of Argenthoz, so I have the starting funds.

Barden asked me why I spent so much money on IOUa,  but now ten million gold is enough.

"I have to build up my credit and borrow a large amount of money gradually."

In order to do business, I first thoroughly reviewed the contents of the original novel.

As I said before, I like to make a chart and memorize the events that happened by year.

It was a novel that I liked very much, so when I racked my brains, I came up with quite a few things.

After a long time and painstaking work, I finished organizing the events of this novel by year in a few pages.

"Hmm."

I carefully examined the ticket and pointed to a spot, and my eyes lit up.

"Yes, this is it."

Now it is early July, when the heat begins in earnest,

According to the original story, Adrian and Cordelia returned together in the late summer of that year

A skin disease of unknown cause spreads among the nobles.

"I don't know the cause of skin diseases."

A tricky skin disease that is difficult to treat properly, even by famous doctors and priests.

However, Cordelia discovers a cure for this skin disease.

She procures the grass of 'Rhodia', which is a cure for skin diseases, for the nobles and provides it free of charge.

"That's why the nobles who rejected Cordelia as an illegitimate Princess came to regard her as a benefactor."

I tapped on the desk.

As more nobles supported Cordelia, the evil woman Yvonne became even angrier.

'...But Yvonne is not going to go on a rampage. Haha.'

Grinning, I took out a new piece of paper, unfolded it, and made a plan step by step.

In the original, the skin disease event was said to be in late summer, so it should probably be mid-August.

Therefore, there are no rumors of skin diseases yet.

I remember that Cordelia, who was worried about the skin diseases of the nobles, accidentally found Rhodia grass and brought it with her.

'Cordelia doesn't even know it yet, do you?'

So I decided to take the cure of Rhodia grass first.

'Cordelia, I'm sorry. Even without the support of the nobles, you're a mistress anyway.'

I felt a little sorry and apologized to the heroine.

Well, what do you think?

Live happily ever after with Adrian, who is the male protagonist and even the Crown Prince (although it seems very strange to me).

'There is no need to track down or harass her. I'll go my own way.'

I felt sorry for her because I felt like I had handed over a bomb to FL, but now was not the time to worry about her.

'Because my nose is stone!'

I threw away my guilt in 0.1 seconds and looked through the plan I had written down to "Eat Well and Live Well Using the Original."

I immediately contacted Baron Gardner, the head of the upper Hoz capital branch.

Worried when he received my call late in the evening, I asked him to introduce me to a suitable agent who would be in charge of purchasing and selling goods on my behalf.

"Hmmm. It's not a big deal, I see."

Baron Gardner readily replied.

He had sold Yvonne's magic artifacts on behalf of her before, so he didn't suspect them.

He looked through the ledger without thinking about it and quickly gave me his name and contact Information.

'Yes. It's just the beginning.'

I clenched my fists as I watched the magic communication device's connection light disappear

And the next day.

I got rid of my lazy life and got up early in the morning.

As I was washing and changing my clothes, I heard the maids whispering softly.

"The Princess finally got up on time!"

"Hey! Nope. She used to wake up at four in the morning. It's half past six in the morning."

"That's true, but... But I'm glad she did. She will gradually return to normal."

'Didn't you wake up early at about six in the morning...'

How diligent and sleepless was Yvonne originally?

I felt that Yvonne lived a tighter life than Korean office workers.

After eating, I contacted the female merchant of the upper Hoz, whom Baron Gardner had introduced me to early in the morning.

A light flickered on the magic communication device, and a woman's voice came from over the receiver.

"I've been waiting for you, please call me Randy. Are you Princess Argenthoz?"

"That's right. Nice to meet you, Randy. This is Yvonne Argenthoz."

I gave her a simple statement.

Randy was a little nervous, but she was a smart guy who understood exactly what I was briefly explaining.

Moreover, I liked her because she was calm.

I then gave an order to supply Rhodia grass.

"We gather all the information about where Rhodia grass is grown and how much it is in current quantities and report it as soon as possible."

"Yes, Princess."

She accepted without expressing any doubts.

By the time Randy sent me a reply, I had a snack and lunch to my fill and looked at other plans.

Just as I was getting a little sluggish, I got another call from Randy.

"Princess, I would like to report on your order."

"Yes, I'll report it."

I wrote down on a piece of paper what Randy was saying in a calm voice.

Rhodia grass was selling at a cheaper price than I expected.

Rhodia grass, which grows only in late winter and early spring in the fields near the Mare Kingdom, is commonly used as an antipyretic.

However, many antipyretics were much more effective than Rhodia, so they were not treated as good medicines.

'It is an antipyretic.'

I carefully put the information into my head and asked the most important question.

"So, what is the current price of Rhodia grass?"

Yes. Rhodia grass stored in a dry state is currently estimated to be about two thousand gold for one kilogram.

'Two thousand gold.'

Compared to Thiels, who is twenty million gold for 1 gram, Rhodia grass, which is two thousand gold for one kilogram, felt really insignificant.

When I thought about the price of Thiels, I wondered what I was going to buy.

I swallowed my tears and repeated the Korean proverb that I had shouted thousands of times in my previous life.

'Collect the dust.'

All the while, I heard Randy's voice over and over again.

"And dried Rhodia grass is only traded in the herbal markets of the Mare Kingdom and its neighbors, in the southwestern part of the empire."

'I see.'

It was quite far from the capital.

Rhodia grass wasn't grass everywhere, so I felt like I had to hurry.

I quickly made up my mind and resolutely gave additional orders.

"Now. I'm depositing ten million gold in front of Randy. Let's buy all the dried Rhodia grass. Everything except the warehouse rental fee."

"Do you mean all the dried Rhodia grass currently on the market?"

Randy, who had been answering calmly until now, seemed a little surprised.

"Yes, I will sweep them all up. Ten million gold is enough?"

"Oh, yes, there aren't that many Rhodia grass on the market... You can purchase all of them. It is expected that it will probably be able to monopolize all the dry Rhodia grass on the continent."

"Yes, and..."

I added that I had one concern.

Later, Cordella could find Rhodia grass, so I had to ask Randy separately.

'There's nothing good about my existence being known.'

"Randy. There may be people who come to Rhodia grass in the future, but at that time, we will try to find a way to prevent the fact that we have resold it from being revealed."

"I see. Since it is a dry paste, it is easy to operate due to accidents during transportation. Then, I will report back after the purchase."

"Thank you."

It's a good start.

I grinned, cut off contact with Randy, and returned to the lab.

But it's just the beginning.

As soon as summer begins in earnest, skin diseases will return.

Then I will take a different action from Cordelia, who gave the nobles a free Rhodia grass.

It will be sold at a fairly high price.

'Well, it's Yvonne the evil girl anyway. I'm going to raise money by selling the medicine to the nobility at a high price.'

Why would I give Rhodia grass to my reviled nobles for free?

Of course, I'm Yvonne with a conscience, so I'm going to process and sell Rhodia grass in a very plausible way so that the price feels legitimate.

I've been thinking about it, but I don't need to look good to the aristocracy,

If I can regain my magic, I'll become a powerful high-ranking nobleman.

I plan to eat well and live well. I have no intention of dominating the social world.

'Rhodia grass was an event that the author put in because of the possibility that Cordelia had to win the favor of the nobles to become the Crown Princess. I'm going to use it in reverse.'

I don't want to be the Crown Princess.

I shuddered at the thought of Adrian's sunny smile.

"I'm going to make some money quickly, buy Thiels, and regain the magic that is the greatest benefit of this evil sister."

Once again, I felt fortunate that Yvonne was not a saint or a heroine, but a villain.

After all, possessing an evil woman who can act as you like is the best.
