Chapter 4
The scumbag that killed her mother . ”
Garbage .
Her father’s words were stuck in her head and didn’t leave .
She thought she could feel no more pain, but the hurt cut deep inside her chest .
Tears came out, but she held it in .
“If the experiment succeeds, maybe you’ll recognize me . ”
If my mother came back to life, my father might forgive me .
Rurutia grabbed ahold of the Mana Stone . She endured to the limit but eventually collapsed .
When Rurutia woke up, a family doctor was taking care of her .
If I open my eyes, they might take me back to the lab . Rurutia pretended to close her eyes tightly .
The doctor, who was sitting next to Gael, saw her stirring .
“Rurutia, you won’t be able to live past twenty . ”
“I don’t care about that girl’s life . What I want to know is the state of the magic power tube . ”
“It’s gone . It’ll be hard to use magic in the future . ”
“Well, I’m afraid we can’t proceed with the experiment . ”
Rurutia’s lips curled gently with her eyes closed . She was very happy .
I don’t have to be my father’s slave anymore .
Finally released from the experiment, Rurutia took on various classes to broaden her horizons .

It was because the entitled females of the day had to be refined and dignified in order to get married off to a rich and respectable husband that it was imminent that they started their education early on .
Whatever her father’s intentions, Rurutia had fun studying . In particular, the history class that Gust Espeda taught was especially fun .
Originally, he was a supervisor guarding the iron ore mine in Bruque . Now he was in charge of the upper echelons of Bruque .
Top management was once fashionable among the nobles .
Now only a few tops survived the rigorous responsibilities .
One of the few establishments that survived was the Top of Bruque, which makes daily necessities for free for the citizens . But the market was in constant flux . Pretty soon the Top of Bruque was charging for their items .
The nobles, who constantly thought of ways they could remain on top, made and sold expensive items that only could be consumed by themselves .
Gael also conceived of a line of expensive sculptures to sell to the nobles .
He summoned his minions and explained his business plan .
”I plan to make and sell sculptures . It’s a business that will never fail because it only needs black crystal stones and excellent craftsmanship . ”

“Yes . But since the color is dark stone, it will be the most durable even though it will be the hardest to work with . You have no choice but to get started right away to save time and money . ”
‘”Are you saying my plan is wrong?”
The black mineral was a symbol of good luck . There were a lot of people who coveted it .
”I’m sure you’ve thought of something nice, but the cost of raw materials is high . There’s only one mine where black crystals are mined!”
Brucke’s vassals looked at each other .
There were also several nobles who thought they had a nose for business and eventually went bankrupt .
A business failure would certainly not bring the Brucke name down, but it would certainly have a bad influence .
“Don’t worry, I’ll manage it myself . Haven’t I impressed you enough with my outstanding abilities?”
Gael made several contributions with his magnificent magical powers and was granted additional honors . Thanks to this new business venture and his contributions, his realm grew into the largest territory in history .

This led to more people following the Duke with Burcke gaining many disciples for his liege .
“That’s a good idea . ”
“You think so, don’t you? So I’ll increase taxes . ”
“Of course, you should . ”
“Haha . It’s nice to be cool . If I succeed, I’ll give you a nice villa . ”
“That’s very cool . I’m already looking forward to it . ”
Everyone was excited about the success, but only one man didn’t laugh .
It was Gust, a young heir to the Espeda family, one of Brucke’s vassals .
The empire’s only black crystal mine was owned by another family . If rumors spread that the Brucke’s family was going to start a business, the price of the gemstone might steadily increase ten or twenty-fold their normal asking price .
