The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 68
Chapter 68
“That’s…”
“Gosh, I told her I was worried because you couldn’t sleep these days, but I didn’t expect her to make something like this.”
Did she tell her he couldn’t sleep well before? Vivian got up from her seat after confirming it.
“But Lady Yuria is also more ambitious than I thought. Isn’t spraying it before going to bed a little impertinent?”
“You, don’t tell her anything weird.”
“Oh my, I’m scared. I can’t say anything. But as I said before, it suits you! I mean, you’re the only one who can pull it off, right? Ask her to make some perfume later!”
In the room where Vivian had left him, Crown Prince Enoch again reflected on the conversation he had with his sister.
Did she say it was a gift Lady Primrose had made for him?
‘It certainly…. is to my taste.’
The conversation with Vivian, the conversation with himself… Taken together, it was right that Yuria had made them it for him.
She must have said it was a test or whatever it was so as not to burden him.
‘Did the Lady look tired that day because she made the room spray despite being busy and not having enough time?’
Rather, because she made the room spray, Yuria wouldn’t have been able to sleep longer.
But thanks to that, Crown Prince Enoch was able to fall asleep. He mulled over this fact once again.
‘She made it… for me.’
Would it be right to feel sorry?
But rather than feeling sorry, was it selfish if he felt gratitude for her sincerity?
[1. Do not use in a confined space.]
[2. Don’t use it in close proximity to fire.]
…
An instruction manual so meticulous that he wondered if it was necessary to write this on a prototype.
[I wish you calmness and a good night’s sleep.]
And the last sentence at the end of it.
They were all words Yuria was saying to him.
‘She made it while thinking of me and wrote it because she thought of me.’
A soft handwriting overall, but pretty and elegant. Containing her sincerity towards him in each letter.
“Is it only for one person, Enoch Piaast…?”
She didn’t work hard just because it was her dream. She worked hard for him.
In his mind, it was not difficult to imagine Yuria trying her best for Yunette. He could even draw her focused profile and frowning expression in detail.
Enoch was always looking at her, after all. Even when she didn’t care about herself.
‘The Lady makes me feel weird, both in the past and now.’
But one thing was added to his imagination of her today. The appearance of Yuria thinking about him.
As he drew that image in his mind, a serene calmness came to him.
The night after that tumultuous morning was also hot, and the sound of rain hitting the window was noisy. Nevertheless, it was okay.
He felt like everything was okay…
“In the time I’ve served Your Highness, I’ve never seen you sleep so well in the summer!”
He lay in bed at nightfall for a few days.
At first, the aides seemed relieved that Crown Prince Enoch’s rhythm might have been stopped.
“Did something good happen to you, Your Highness? You suddenly started going to bed early a few days ago.”
“It’s nothing special… It’s thanks to this thing.”
The crown prince pointed at the room spray and grinned.
“I don’t think I’ve seen this before. May I ask where it came from?”
“Yunette’s representative made it for me.”
“Ah, last time, you said were going to sleep early for just one day because of Yunette’s representative…”
“… And just continued to do so,” he swallowed his words.
It was a great thing that Crown Prince Enoch was falling asleep so early, but the aide was worried that he was saying something he shouldn’t.
But fortunately, the crown prince wasn’t shaken by those words.
“She made something really great.”
He kept a normal expression when he heard those words, trying to be as careful as he could.
The aides looked at each other’s faces as soon as they came out of the crown prince’s room.
“Yunette’s representative is a woman, right?”
The identity of the head of Yunette was a secret.
They didn’t know why, but even the crown prince’s entourage, who came and went with the representative of Yunette, didn’t know anything about her.
They only assumed that it was a young woman after hearing her voice.
At first, the crown prince met her alone, but as Yunette’s work grew, they felt like she would have no choice but to reveal herself.
‘Why does she try to hide her identity so much?’
They were very curious about the identity of the person who attracted public attention, but Crown Prince Enoch’s assertion that she was trustworthy meant they could only trust and follow her.
It was also not easy to inflict damage on the crown prince in the first place, as he was an excellent swordsman.
Rather, it was not his safety that bothered them, but the opposite.
“The atmosphere is weird! I’ve never seen His Highness make such a face!”
“The room spray may help, but… Maybe it’s because ‘she’ gave it to him… It’s more effective…”
“Will His Highness have a fiancée now?”
They were worried about the danger, but it was also true that this approach was unthinkable.
Could Crown Prince Enoch, who had not had any scandals so far, finally…?
Each of the entourage members made various assumptions and continued talking loudly.
“What if it’s a married woman?”
“Don’t say anything ominous! I’m worried because His Highness doesn’t seem to have a lady he’s interested in…”
“Come to think of it, we don’t know anything about the representative of the Yunette.”
“His Highness only said that he was going to do business all of a sudden.”
“Does anyone know how they came to meet each other?”
While each one of them said different things, they soon reached one conclusion.
They didn’t know what kind of person that woman, the representative of Yunette, was.
They decided to keep an eye on her for the time being.
‘It’s not like forbidden love, is it?’
While suppressing their uneasy assumptions.
***
As I said to Serian last time, I wasn’t lying when I said that I would devote my efforts to research and development.
While attending the festival of the founding of the empire, I was unexpectedly able to hear other people’s skin concerns.
“If I get pregnant, I’ll have stretch marks… It’s going to be troublesome. Is it possible to manage this with cosmetics?”
“I would really be thankful if Duchess Primrose could talk to Yunette!”
There was no need for my mother to tell me anything. I, the head of Yunette, was listening to everything next to her.
So I decided to release a massage oil that was more moisturizing than traditional creams.
“Even if I can’t do anything about stretch marks that have already appeared, I can prevent them.”
This would be a little helpful for people who were struggling with skin problems.
And it could be used not only for stretch marks but also for various types of massages, so many people would experience its effects.
However, it didn’t make me feel good to hear pregnant women say thank you for simply developing a massage oil.
It wasn’t like I was giving things away for free… Even more so when I remembered the faces of the ladies who spoke so earnestly to my mother.
“I would like to donate a certain amount of money from the sales of the cream for stretch marks to pregnant women in need. What do you think?”
The cream was not expensive, but I wanted to support people who could not buy it due to financial struggles.
Crown Prince Enoch nodded happily at my words, then smiled warmly.
“From time to time, you seem to think more of the people of the Empire than I, the crown prince.”
“That’s not true.”
He gave me a ridiculous compliment. I was embarrassed to glance at Baron Alocasia next to the crown prince.
‘Today is also the day that the merchants of the imperial family attend the meeting.’
No matter how casually he said it, he was someone who served the crown prince. I had no idea what he was thinking.
Swallowing my embarrassment, I quickly changed the topic.
“Then we can look for additional places to donate. But the problem is that private welfare facilities are usually associated with the temple… ”
“That’s true. And recently, there have been accusations that the temple used the donations for private purposes. It’s not the first time something controversial has happened, but they manage to escape.”
Baron Alocasia, who had been watching the situation, gave his opinion.
“What about Baron Polishas’ foundation? He’s putting a lot of effort into women’s welfare.”
“Indeed. It’s a place that hasn’t had any scandal in years. ”
“I can trust that place, too.”
After making some additional adjustments, quite some time had passed.
I looked at the clock on the wall.
‘I didn’t notice the time because the sun is setting late in the summer.’
Both the staff of the Imperial Merchant Guild who had come with him and the staff of Yunette were organizing their surroundings.
“It’s already dinner time. Then I’ll take my leave.”
“Ah, Director. Are you leaving now?”
Ever since other people started attending the meetings, Crown Prince Enoch has always called me director.
They would be able to guess a bit of my identity if he called me lady, so this was right.
I pulled the hood that covered my face a little more for no reason. And at that moment, a gentle invitation came from Crown Prince Enoch.
“If it’s okay with you, would you like to have dinner?”
“What?”
“I’ve heard from people around here that there are some good restaurants in this area.”
“Hm… I can wear a hood during the meetings, but I think my face will be revealed when I eat.”
It was difficult for me to refuse.
“Not the staff, just me and you, Director.”
Unexpected words came out of his mouth.
