The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 83.1

Chapter 83.1

Yuria continued in a soft tone of voice, “Failure is the mother of success. Please encourage the researchers who fail their research not to be too discouraged. That will be a great foundation.”

“Y-Yes… I’ll do that.”

It was an unexpected reaction. He hadn’t thought of it at all.

When the person supplying the research funds said this, the vice-guild leader relaxed.

In fact, one of his concerns was how to make Yuria understand that it was difficult to say that they weren’t working hard just because they failed.

“I’m still surprised that the researchers are doing better than I thought. I thought it would take a little longer, or a lot of them would fail.”

However, Yuria first understood this and spoke kindly.

‘She’s a really… good person.’

Thanks to this, being brave wasn’t as difficult as he thought.

Recalling the atmosphere of the guild that had sunk so rapidly recently, he told her he originally wanted to say.

“Have you thought about what would happen if you showed this medicine to the public?”

The Primrose duchy approached him one day and said they wanted to support the alchemy guild.

Their words were great, and they offered to provide much-needed support.

After all, without sponsorship, the guild would soon be disbanding. Either that or they would just go on like this while lacking support.

However, even he himself did not know what and how far ahead the Primrose duchy was thinking.

He just handed it over to the guild leader, believing that they were secretly hostile to the temple.

‘Either we can’t do research because we have no sponsor, or we can’t do research because we’re persecuted by the temple. It’s always one of them.’

Thinking that it was all or nothing, he made somewhat of a gambling judgment.

‘And she didn’t seem worried about us making medicine the last time she looked at the research journal.’

And the vice-guild leader could feel that it wasn’t just the vigor of a young person who didn’t know how scary the temple was.

The others were probably dull, but it wasn’t for nothing that he had been appointed guild leader before.

‘There’s no reason to invest money in an alchemy guild unless you are a spy from the temple.’

And also, even if she was a spy, this method was too grand.

The Primrose duchy was too big to use them like that.

“Don’t worry.” Indeed, Yuria smiled calmly after hearing the vice-guild leader’s words. “I think I know what you and the guild members are worried about. I was going to tell you soon… but thank you for bringing it up first.”

Then, Yuria asked him to wait a moment. She said it would be better to show him directly rather than explain a hundred words.

‘Will she reassure the guild members at once? What could it be?’

The vice-guild leader trusted Yuria’s words and consoled the depressed members of the guild.

“I think the Guild Leader, I mean, Lady Primrose, the representative of the Guild Leader, has an idea.”

And finally, the day that Yuria had spoken of came.

“His Highness Crown Prince Enoch.”

“Oh, my God.”

The vice-guild leader lost strength in his legs when he saw a sight he hadn’t even dreamed of.

He was barely caught as he was about to tumble to the ground.

“G-Guild Leader!”

“No… I’m the vice-guild leader now. But why is that person here?”

The vice-guild leader barely regained his balance and looked straight ahead.

Shiny golden hair as if it had no impurities, and a face that seemed to have a gentle yet resolute disposition.

He couldn’t believe that someone he had never dreamed would come to the alchemy guild in such a shabby place—no, it was now a clean and spacious place thanks to Yuria buying the whole building next door—had actually appeared!

Everyone opened their mouths as if their jaws were falling out.

But at the same time, they couldn’t even think of being polite and rubbed their eyes.

“I can’t believe I’m seeing His Highness for the first time in my life.”

“My eyes aren’t wrong, are they?”

“Are you sure… he’s the crown prince?”

“Look at that face. It has ‘crown prince’ written all over it.”

“Ahh.”

She started hearing the guild members whispering that he was as handsome as they have heard. Yuria waved her hand at the commotion and confirmed that the man next to her was Crown Prince Enoch.

“Everyone, be polite.”

“No, it’s alright. I was the one who appeared out of nowhere.”
