A letter arrived from the Sinope estate.
Since Emily often received letters from her nanny, she opened the envelope without thinking much about it.
"This."
Cezanne stopped what she was doing and turned around at Emily's sigh as she read the letter.
“Did something happen?”
“Nothing bad happened..., but I think I should go down to the Sinope territory.”
“Are you suddenly talking about the territory?”
Instead of answering, Emily handed Cézanne a letter. It told of carrots, a specialty of Sinope.
[ To the young lady I miss so much.
Hello, Miss!
How are you? I trust you are doing well.
If I see even a single teardrop in your eyes, I will rush in there and carry you out.
By the way, what's the weather like there these days? It's very hot here. It's the height of carrot harvesting season.
But there was a problem with this carrot.
Do you remember Grandma Juliet, who often scolded the young lady?
Toto, the grandmother's grandson, started selling carrot cakes, and they became incredibly popular.
It's so popular that people start waiting in line from dawn, even though it opens at 10, and by 1 p.m., it's all sold out.
Toto's store is almost taking over the carrots in the neighborhood, and most of the residents have to help out at Toto's store.
I think I should commercialize Toto's Carrot Cake, but I don't have any experts on this, so I'm writing this letter.
These days, it's not easy to make a living just relying on a carrot field, but if Toto's store is commercialized, jobs will be created for the residents, and Toto will be able to make a lot more money...
Miss, can you help me?
Then I'll wait for your reply.
Stay healthy!
Nanny Dream eagerly awaits the young lady's visit. ]
Cezanne, having finished reading the letter, returned it to Emily and asked.
“Madam, do you know much about business?”
"No."
“So how do you plan to help?”
"Hmm..."
Emily looked up at Cezanne blankly.
"I'd like you to speak to the Marquis. What do you think? Since he's a businessman, wouldn't he be able to help?"
“You mean Killian?”
Cezanne, lost in thought for a moment, soon nodded.
“I think it will be of great help.”
Although Cezanne was someone who only did illegal business, Emily thought she might be of some help.
“He's busy, so I wonder if I’m just causing trouble for no reason.”
“I don’t think you need to worry about that.”
“Why? Is he free these days?”
“Well, yes. That’s right.”
Cezanne wanted to answer that no matter how busy Killian was, he would make time for his wife, but she held back. Cezanne wasn't the type to speak carelessly about the feelings of those she served.
“Anyway, let me tell him about it this evening.”
“Yeah, okay.”
Emily hummed, excited at the thought of returning to her hometown after a long time.
Killian returned home around dinnertime. Despite his busy schedule, he tried to get home before dinner and have dinner with Emily.
“Are you here?”
Alvin came out and greeted him.
“What about my wife?”
'As soon as you get back, you start checking on your wife.'
Alvin looked at Killian with a pleased expression and answered.
“She is in the study.”
And at the end, he added one more word.
“Madam has been waiting for you all day today. If she had known you were coming home, she would have come out to greet you.”
“She waited for me?”
Killian asked, trying to keep his mouth shut and pretending to be calm.
"Why?"
“I think it would be better to ask the Madam directly.”
Alvin, who had already seen Killian's face relax, swallowed a laugh inside.
Killian went up to his room to change his clothes. He always wore black when going out, but he tried to wear bright clothes at home.
Ever since Emily said that color suited him better, he's only been reaching for clothes in that color.
After a quick shower and a change of clothes, Killian went straight to the study. There, Emily was reading a stack of books. No, she was sleeping.
Killian looked at the title of the book she was reading.
Easy-to-understand business
This is how I started my business
The Bible of Business
How to Unconditionally Succeed in Business
They were all books about business, books Killian didn't usually read.
‘Why this book all of a sudden...?’
He didn't know what kind of business she was going to start, but Killian was willing to invest without hesitation if Emily said she would do it.
'But what if she succeeds and leaves me?'
Killian's face hardened as a sudden thought occurred to him.
'It's okay. We can never get a divorce unless it's my fault.'
As he was putting away his books with a serious expression on his face, Emily opened her eyes and stirred.
“When did you come?”
The way she was still rubbing her eyes as if she was half asleep was incredibly adorable.
“I just got here.”
It was almost overwhelming to see so many emotions racing through him in such a short moment. Fortunately, Emily didn't seem to notice what Killian was thinking.
“Have you eaten?”
“I haven’t done it yet.”
“That’s great. Let’s go down together.”
Emily, who was about to leave the room with him, noticed the book in Killian's hand.
“That’s the book I was reading...”
"Here."
Killian returned the book to Emily and asked, pretending not to know.
“But why were you reading those books?”
Killian's voice sounded somewhat tense as he asked.
“I have something to say about this anyway.”
Emily was about to show him the letter, but then remembered the nanny's expression, "I'll bring the young lady out with me."
Cezanne also strongly advised not to show the letter directly to Killian, right?
“I’ll tell you while we eat.”
"All right."
He followed Emily out of the room with heavy steps.
As the owner and his wife appeared at the restaurant, Mayo quickly set up the food.
“Today’s dishes are mussels and tomato soup, ravioli, beef shank steak, and assorted vegetables.”
The menu on the table, which was becoming increasingly more extravagant, was astonishing.
“It must have been hard for you to prepare all this by yourself.”
“Thank you for your hard work! Enjoy your meal.”
Mayo returned to the kitchen, and the two picked up their forks and began to eat.
Killian, who had put food in his mouth, also secretly applauded Mayo. Mayo, who had become increasingly interested in cooking, was improving his cooking skills by the day.
It was worth spending the money to learn cooking from the royal chef.
When Emily just ate and didn't say anything, Killian glanced at her.
Finally, unable to contain his curiosity, Killian timed his words and spoke to Emily just as she picked up her glass of water.
“What were you trying to say earlier?”
"Ah!"
Emily picked up the napkin she had spread on her lap and wiped her mouth.
“Did you know that Sinope Territory is famous for its carrots?”
Killian knew that very well, too. He had grown up drinking Sinope's carrot juice.
Emily continued speaking comfortably as Killian showed a knowing look.
“One of the Sinope residents has opened a carrot cake shop, and I want to help him expand his business.”
“So that’s the kind of book you were reading?”
Killian sighed in relief.
"Yes. It's a place with nothing but carrots, but I guess Toto's carrot cake has brought in a lot of tourists. Expanding the business will boost Sinope's reputation, and the residents will be able to live more comfortably."
Emily asked cautiously at the end of those words.
“I’m only a lord in name, but I want to help them, but I don’t know anything... Could you help me?”
"That's about it." Killian said without a second thought, "Okay."
“I think I should go down to the estate and take a look.”
“I will go with you.”
Killian's words brought color to Emily's face.
“Then I’ll schedule it for when you have free time.”
Killian is a busy man 365 days a year. But, as Cezanne expected, he's the kind of man who can make time for his wife.
“I will pack my bags by next week.”
"Just ask Giovanni and Alvin to be a little more patient," Killian concluded, as if nothing was wrong.
“Come to think of it, this is my first time going back to the place I used to live after getting married.”
Killian, momentarily stung by those words, cleared his throat and coughed. From somewhere, he heard his father-in-law's voice yelling at him.
“Is this your first time going to the Sinope estate?”
“I went there.”
“Yes? Really?”
Emily's ears perked up at the story she was hearing for the first time.
Killian blurted out his words without realizing it and replied vaguely.
“../I stayed there for a while when I was very young.”
“That’s interesting! Then maybe we’ve met.”
“That would have been difficult. You were young and probably spent most of your time in the castle.”
Emily smiled awkwardly at Killian's firm answer.
"Anyway, thanks for coming with me. I hope it won't be too complicated."
“Don’t worry too much, it won’t be that difficult.”
Anyway, Killian knew someone who could help with this.
Since Emily often received letters from her nanny, she opened the envelope without thinking much about it.
"This."
Cezanne stopped what she was doing and turned around at Emily's sigh as she read the letter.
