Chapter 65
TL:Zimming
‘Oh, no . ’
Dubbled was not a family that loved each other just because they were a family .
The ancestor saw their children as a tool of power, and even the duke’s father slaughtered up to ten brothers and left only two .
What I said probably doesn’t make any sense to Javelin .
‘Oh no . I was just trying to get along, but I made her even angrier . ’
I made a desperate excuse .
“Well, I won’t upset you anymore . I’m really going to stay quiet . Be quiet, not to be seen by you . I’ll walk carefully so that I won’t bother you . So can you forgive me…?”
When I looked up with a desperate face, Javelin’s eyes were distorted .
“You’re…”
“… . ?”
“… . go inside . ”
Javelin walk past me .
After she’s completely gone, I breathed a sigh .
Leah muttered with a guilty look,
“Little miss, because of me…”
‘No, it’s not because of Lea . ’
I opened my arms with a disheartened look . As always, Lea Hugged me .
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The administrators hurried through the hall .
“Your Excellency, the Empress has fallen!”
When I heard a loud cry, I held Lea’s shoulder tightly in my arms .
‘It has started . ’
Adolf rushed into the palace to check the situation . The royal physician was looking at her, and the empress showed no sign of waking up .
“What is it?”
When asked why, the physician were at a loss .
“We have no idea . She was healthier than usual a week ago . The pain she used to complain about is gone . She have been walking a lot, and she had a great complexion, so why did this happen all of a sudden…”
“It could be poison . ”
“There was no such thing in the tests . ”
The royal physician asked the Empress Dowager’s maid .
“Did she eat the wrong food?”
“That can’t be true! Her majesty owns a poison tester, if there’s a problem, the tester would have collapsed too . ”
The empress also didn’t have a particular allergy .
“Have you noticed anything unusual lately?”
“Other than taking the medicine of youth…”
“The medicine of youth . Do you mean the medicine they sell on the market?!”
The physician groaned and saw the empress who had fallen . Why is she so immature when she gets older?
Medicine that did not receive confirmation from the physician could not be brought into the palace .
It was strictly forbidden because it could be used as a poison .
“But it didn’t happen to anyone else . ”
The maid glanced at Adolf .
“Not the medicine on the market, but the priest has prepared them with similar efficacy . ”
At her words, people looked at Adolf .
He was very confused too .
‘What the hell is going on?’
He must have stolen the manufacturing method from the top of hope and made it the same . But why only the empress?
In this case, it is all his fault that the empress collapsed but he couldn’t say that the priest himself had stolen the recipe .
If they find out that the priest who manages the central church committed theft, he will be kicked out immediately .
‘I need to blame the people on the top of hope . ’
Adolf immediately contacted a worker on the top of the hope .
Martin, a worker who has been working at the top of hope for three years, clucked his tongue .
He was so greedy for money that he accepted the priest’s offer . But he didn’t know it would bother him so much .
“Is there really no one who’s sick after taking the medicine?”
“Yes, people has never visited us because of that reason . ”
“Then make a problem . ”
The priest handed over the medicine bottle . He said to mix this powder to the stocks there .
It wasn’t that hard to mix the powder in the medicine .
Martin, a member of the guard, knew the patrol route and the shift times of the guards better than anyone else, and even knew when the workers were leaving .
He took advantage of the absence of people and came into the warehouse .
Fumbling against the wall in the dark, he found the stock of medicine for youth .
In the past five years, the top of hope has grown so much .
There was too much luggage in the warehouse, and it’s dark inside .
As soon as he was wiping out the sweat with the back of his hand, he tore through the sack .
“What are you looking for?”
“What else…the medicine of…ugh!”
A light came into the dimly lit warehouse .
A girl was smiling as she sat on a sack .
“Luminous medicine?”
“Wha, wha, what! who are you?!
He was frightened, struggling and waving his hand .
When he turned his head, it was the vice-president and her aide Curtis .
“What are you doing here?”
Martin’s face turned pale at their question . “Th, that…” he exclaimed .
“I, I was told to search for something by the owner . ”
“How do you know the owner?”
Once the vice-leader tries to grasp the situation, he must flee .
The girl walked softly and held out her upper body with her hands on her back .
“What kind of excuse is that?”
“… . what?”
“When did I give such an order?”
Martin laughed at the child’s words .
“How can a little girl be the owner…gasp!”
Seria caught him by the neck . Seria, who looked down at him was about to twist his neck like a bug .
“Shh- the owner didn’t allow you to speak . ”
“… . . !”
No way!
The top of hope has grown in just five years .
She monopolized Spinel and controlled the business .
Does it make sense that the owner is a girl under 10?
However, even the upper ups of the top were very polite to the child .
“Let it go . ”
The child came to him slowly .
“I think I treated the workers pretty well . ”
Martin’s throat was parched by the girl’s words .
The child’s little hand touched Martin’s shoulder .
“Huh? What do you think . ”
“That, I…”
The child shrugged at Martin, who was scared and couldn’t answer properly .
“Well, that’s enough . ”
“…pardon?”
“I didn’t want to forgive you . ”
For a moment, he felt the back of the child’s hand shining, and he felt burning sensation all over his body .
The child’s hand shone red and his body seemed to be burning as if he had swallowed a fireball .
“Agghhh—!”
Martin, who was shaking as if he had been electrocuted, said, “Sa,save me!” He was screaming and fell down .
The child with an expressionless face, left .
Curtis gulped as he looked at Seria staring at the child’s back with her forehead narrowed .
The child must have been very powerful to make a man like this .
Who would have thought that the powerful owner, would be a child who looked less than 10 years old .
“She grew up wonderfully!”
Seria said .
LeBlaine, whom she met after a few years, had become a true young miss of Dubbled .
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, she wore three hats, two mufflers, gloves and various accessories .
“Ah, I think this would look good on you too . ”
Seria, who put so many things on me, brought me another bunch of things in her arms .
“That’s enough . I don’t need it . ”
“You look good in everything . ”
I put the things Seria give me and folded them as I put them in a box .
These goods are all precious stock for making money .
“Did you already take care of Martin?”
“Yes . ”
“Okay, then I’ll go back . ”
“Stay a little longer . It’s your first time in the top . I have a lot to show you,” Seria said, glistening her eyes .
“Are you okay with showing yourself to Curtis?”
I nodded at her words .
“He’s the one Seria trusts . Then I trust him too . ”
“You say something pleasant . Now, this is what you asked for . ”
I got the paper envelope Seria gave me . I checked inside and nodded .
