Although the ties with Fersen had been severed and peace had returned, it didn’t imply they lived leisurely.

Surprisingly, Luna was busier than earlier than they defeated Fersen.

“The doc overview you requested is full. Every part is so as.”

A serious cause for her busy schedule was these paperwork.

“I’m sorry for providing you with a lot work.”

“In no way. The extra work you give me, the extra I really feel my occupation as a lawyer is justified. It makes me completely satisfied.”

Previously, he consistently apologized, a lot that he typically questioned if he was a lawyer or an offender. He had even thought-about altering careers when his knees had been almost worn out from kneeling a lot.

Nonetheless, he didn’t change jobs as a result of Antes moved to Vincent’s territory.

Anyway, in comparison with the previous when he repeatedly apologized, saying, ‘I’m sorry, please present mercy,’ now he was main a satisfying life.

“But when I’ll ask, I’m curious as to why you purchased these quarries?”

Royer’s query was cautious.

Whereas he did assist as instructed, even when the quarries had been low-cost, shopping for about thirty deserted ones piqued his curiosity.

Luna, having reviewed and arranged the paperwork she obtained from Royer, stood up and replied:

“I’m in search of one thing.”

“What are you in search of? Can I make it easier to?”

A diamond. I need to grow to be the richest within the Empire.

There should be one among the many thirty. If not, properly, it’s a bit troublesome and cumbersome, however she’ll purchase different mountains.

‘I ought to have learn the novel extra fastidiously. Then I wouldn’t have had to purchase thirty mountains to discover a diamond.’

It’s absurd that there got here a day Luna regretted not studying a novel, which isn’t even educational. She chuckled on the absurdity.

“Woman Luna?”

“No, it’s high-quality. Isn’t it about time we left?”

Luna, who couldn’t fairly admit she was after a diamond, modified the topic. It was certainly time to go away the mansion.

“Sure. If we depart in half-hour, we’ll arrive proper on time.”

“Okay. I’ll change and head out.”

“Sure, please take your time.”

After Royer left, Luna, with Laura’s assist, ready to go away and got here right down to the primary flooring.

Royer, who had been ready whereas having tea, escorted her to the carriage.

“Luna, take care and return safely.”

The Baron’s voice lacked power, and his expression appeared unhappy. So, Luna advised he come alongside.

“Would you want to return with me?”

“…No, I’ve to move to the Peils territory tomorrow. I can’t.”

There was a deep longing within the Baron’s eyes, however sadly, he couldn’t be part of her.

All as a result of stern educating of Tein, the secretary and tutor Luna employed a number of days in the past. As per Luna’s request, because the day he was employed, Tein rigorously educated the Baron.

Consequently, the Baron had been engrossed in his research, wanting more and more drained every day. His solely breaks had been meals and sleep.

Luna recalled what Royer as soon as instructed her.

“He’s proud and cussed about his work. He can’t stand issues or folks being unsure round him. He’ll absolutely mildew the Baron into a reliable administrator and lord. I assure it.”

It was a secret between the 2 of them that the Baron didn’t know. There was no approach she would’ve employed him based mostly on a number of questions, even when really helpful by Royer.

Tein was chosen primarily as a result of he was emphasised to be able to overhauling the Baron.

As a result of he certainly was doing so, Luna smiled brightly. The Baron, unaware of this, waved her goodbye together with his exhausted face.

“I’ll be again.”

“Secure travels.”

“Miss! Be sure you select a very good home!”

The carriage departed amidst the farewells of the servants, chopping by way of the wind. After about an hour, they arrived on the mansion of Viscount Clea.

“Good to fulfill you, I’m Kayle Clea.”

Viscount Clea greeted Luna, who had alighted from the carriage.

“It’s an honor to host such a distinguished visitor.”

He made positive to keep up his manners, in order to not offend Luna, true to their earlier correspondence.

It wasn’t like this with everybody. The truth that she was really helpful by Antes made all of the distinction.

His lover… Given the continuing rumors, she’s no bizarre individual.

The Viscount greeted Luna with extra rigidity than common, having the given activity and completely no room for errors.

Luna, unaware of all this, greeted the Viscount with utmost sincerity.

“It’s you who’s gracious. Thanks in your sort reception. I’m in your arms.”

She was nothing like one would anticipate from Antes’ lover, so formal and stylish. The Viscount, feeling a bit extra comfortable, smiled at Luna.

“Thanks in your sort phrases. You should be drained from the journey. Would you wish to relaxation a bit earlier than we begin?”

“No, I’m fairly alright. I’d like to start out touring the mansions instantly.”

Having solely traveled for an hour, Luna felt fairly refreshed.

Her eyes sparkled with pleasure on the concept of seeing new mansions, making the Viscount calm down a bit extra.

“Understood. I’ll take you on to the mansions that match the standards you talked about.”

To reduce touring, they began with the one closest to the Viscount’s mansion.

“It’s surrounded by quite a lot of flowers and timber, also known as the forest backyard.”

“My goodness, Miss, it’s so lovely!”

“It hasn’t been lengthy because it was constructed, and up to date renovations have been accomplished, so it’s prepared for quick use.”

Although Laura was impressed and the Viscount launched the property, Luna appeared misplaced in her personal ideas.

The mansion was so lovely she needed to signal a contract immediately.

‘I assumed the Duke’s mansion was the grandest…?’

It was nearly as lovely because the Duke’s mansion proper from the beginning.

After all, it was a lot smaller than the Duke’s mansion, however it was newly constructed and thus extra fashionable and refined.

“Might I take a second to go searching alone?”

“Please do. When you’ve got any questions, be at liberty to ask.”

As Luna pretended to leisurely discover the mansion, she shortly distanced herself from Viscount Clea and immediately pulled on the arm of Royer who was following her.

“…How a lot do you assume it’s?”

“Pardon? What are you speaking about?”

“The mansion. It’s nicer than I assumed. Is it costly?”

She had heard of luxurious mansions being purchased, however she didn’t know their precise costs. Seeing it in individual, it regarded very costly.

Royer, seeming a bit puzzled by Luna’s involved face, replied:

“It is likely to be fairly costly, however I don’t assume you have to be the one apprehensive about that. It’s folks like me who must be involved. After all, I can’t even afford it to start with.”

“…So how a lot is it roughly?”

“Maybe 1,000,000 gold or so?”

One million gold wasn’t a small quantity. Laura’s jaw dropped in shock, and Luna additionally widened her eyes and requested Royer:

“Simply 1,000,000 gold?”

For such an impressive mansion? With this expansive land? Virtually like a small fortress?

Whereas others might need apprehensive, Luna appeared to deal with 1,000,000 gold as a trivial sum, making Royer secretly swallow his tears.

“Sure, in the event that they ask for a excessive value. Given its measurement, it most likely gained’t attain 1,000,000 gold. 5 to 6 hundred thousand must be enough.”

Listening to the agency reply, Luna’s cheeks flushed.

With out even listening to the precise quantity, she regarded as if she had already purchased the mansion.

“Miss, are you going to purchase this mansion!?”

Laura, too, couldn’t disguise her pleasure in regards to the concept of dwelling in such a ravishing mansion.

Luna, giving a quick nod, approached Viscount Clea with fast steps.

“I’d like to purchase this mansion.”

Usually, actual property brokers begin by exhibiting the costliest and finest home first. Then, they regularly present lesser-quality homes, hoping to make the client determine on the primary, dearer possibility.

Believing it will be finest to only buy the mansion she favored now, Luna made up her thoughts.

Nevertheless, the Viscount, who must be welcoming such a direct transaction, responded…

“Wouldn’t it’s higher to see the subsequent mansion earlier than deciding?”

For some cause, the Viscount stopped Luna’s hasty resolution, suggesting she see one other mansion.

“Why?”

“I’ve many good mansions to indicate, and I hope you make a alternative with out regrets.”

Viscount Clea gave a pleasant realtor’s smile.

However she felt that she had already made a alternative with out regrets.

“So, are there any defects on this mansion?”

“No, completely not. It’s simply…”

The Viscount hesitated. It’s uncommon for somebody to determine on such a pricy mansion instantly, so he was stunned.

‘I ought to present Woman Rosemary’s mansion.’

He had supposed to ask her for tea after touring a number of mansions.

He had deliberate to say, ‘Oh, the proprietor occurs to be right here,’ and naturally supply tea and a dialog. However shopping for proper initially…

“Truly, there’s a mansion I’d love to indicate you, particularly because you appear to love flowers.”

“No, I don’t notably like flowers.”

She most popular cash over flowers.

Immediately dealing with Luna’s agency stance, the Viscount wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied:

“The mansion is barely greater…”

“If it’s too large, it’ll be inconvenient. I’ll have to rent extra employees.”

“It’s not that large. It’s simply barely bigger. It’s situated close to the Imperial Fort, has a fantastic view, and is handy for outings.”

“This place additionally appears to have a very good location.”

“That place is a lot better. The backyard may be very lovely.”

“Isn’t this place, with all its blooming flowers, lovely too?”

“That place is roofed with fastidiously chosen high-end roses. It’s incomparable. It’s improbable, enchanting, and wonderful.”

“…”

Actually, to that extent? Confronted together with his persistent rebuttal, Luna was speechless.

Now she was interested by what made him so eager on exhibiting that specific mansion.

‘Viewing another gained’t damage.’

Evaluating extra choices is all the time higher. Lastly, Luna smiled barely and replied:

“Tremendous. You appear so keen to indicate it, I’ve no alternative.”

“Thanks. You gained’t remorse it.”

“I’m wanting ahead to it.”

Following Luna, who determined to go to the subsequent mansion, Royer contemplated the Viscount’s phrases.

‘A mansion close to the Imperial Fort lined in high-end roses? It sounds acquainted…’

However he couldn’t fairly recall, so he quickly put it out of his thoughts.
