Chapter 14
At my words, Marie looked touched . It was because the management of finances was often given to the most trusted subordinate .
“Then let’s go before we’re too late . ”
“Yes . To where?”
I spoke as if it was obvious .
“We have to eat supper . ”
Since we’ve earned money, now it was time to go eat filet mignon and strawberry cake .
“N, no . You don’t have to come here because of me… . ”
Marie appeared lost with the veal tenderloin steak sitting in front of her .
Just to note, the cost of food at this restaurant was about 30 cena . Considering that most restaurants served a meal at 1 to 2 cena, it was an incredibly expensive restaurant .
She seemed so touched to the point of being contrite and appeared to be at the brink of tears, so I spat out a curt explanation .
“It’s not because of you . ”
“Then?”
“It was because I wanted to eat it . I, too, like veal tenderloin steak . And the strawberry cake . So don’t think too much about it . ”
However, it seemed she didn’t believe my words . On the contrary, she spoke with her eyes that were wet with tears .
“I will serve milady well from now on . Truly . ”
“I said we’re not eating here because of you . ”
“I’m also just saying it . ”
Look at this? I giggled and asked what had been on mind .
“Marie, don’t you find it strange that I changed so suddenly?”
At my question, Marie pressed her lips together . No matter how bright and pure this girl was, there was no way she didn’t notice the difference in my behavior .

“It is strange . But it’s okay . ”
“Why?”
“Because milady is milady . Also, I like the confident milady more than the previous milady . ”
Just like that Marie abruptly shook her head .
“That doesn’t mean that I disliked who you were previously . It’s just that my heart ached when I watched milady in the past . ”
Then she burst into a wide smile .
“Anyways, be it milady from before, or the milady now, I like them both . Hehe . ”
I nodded my head .
As more food was being served, the conversation was momentarily halted .
This time, Marie asked .

“But what will you do now, milady? Will you continue performing as a bard?”
“No . ”
I shook my head .
I did not wish to live the life of a musician .
It was hard to earn that much money every single time, and it was necessary for musicians to undergo extremely hard labor in the first place .
It was because, in order to earn money as a musician in this era, it was necessary to be subordinate to an aristocratic family and create art like machinery . It was no different for any other artist, painter, et cetera .
‘What should I do?’
I was filled with wistfulness .
Just because I wanted to live like a sloth, didn’t mean I could do absolutely nothing . There had to be a means to eat and live .
Rather than uselessly reincarnate as the princess of a broken grand ducal family, it would have been better to reincarnate into an heir of a considerable amount of estate .

‘First I need to earn money . Enough money such that I can live blissfully for the rest of my life . ’
There were few jobs that met those conditions .
No, there were many measures to earn money, but all of them required an equivalent amount of labor . The only to amass wealth without effort or labor was to inherit it .
‘Creating and selling magical artifacts won’t work either . Unless I have a justifiable reason, my usage of magic will be strictly controlled and limited by the world’s balance . ’
No matter how much I mulled over the matter, none of them matched my conditions .
Everyone in the world wished to be lazy and merely eat and play, but, in reality, even if they worked like ants, it was hard to earn enough to eat . To achieve living the life of couch potato was something of that high of a difficulty .
‘First, let’s solve the problem of board and room, and then I have to find a way to exert minimal effort and strike it rich . ’
There will always be a way .
Soon, I thought of a method .
“First, we’ll head to the West Empire’s city of liberty, Renault . ”
