I rembered that later in the novel, Kerin Workshop was exposed for using toxic materials. If I gave her sothing from there and she fell ill because of it, it would only be a matter of ti before rumors spread and I beca the Arlo familys public enemy. There was still a chance for
to develop an unfavorable relationship with Rose, so this was definitely a place to avoid.
I continued walking until two other workshops ca into sight, smiling wide.There, I see the signboards!
Although Fyodor Workshop boasted a long history, it was on the verge of bankruptcy. On the other hand, multiple craftsn collaborated at Grada Workshop to systematically produce things.
I stepped toward my destination when Geraldine, the leader of the escort knights, asked, Are you sure you want to enter this place, Lady Floyen?
It was natural for him to doubt my decision; I was heading towards the shabby Fyodor Workshop, which was located deep inside an alleyway.
Its definitely this place.Anyone who heard the rumors would avoid Fyodor Workshop because it was on the verge of bankruptcy, but I knew things that they didnt.
Yes, I replied to Geraldine.
When I entered the store, I found a man sitting in the corner of a workshop filled with shabby handicrafts. A normal person wouldve backed away from the scene, perhaps even stumbled, but I approached him resolutely. In addition to his untidy appearance, the mans long, disheveled hair covered most of his face. Despite being young, he was devoid of vitality.
Im sorry, but Im not in a state where I can make anything right now. I apologize if I have disrespected you or your family in any way, but please visit another workshop.
I was the only custor in this workshop, yet he still refused . I laughed with reassurance.Its a good thing I decided to co here.
Other people would have left with indignation, but I knew why he was behaving like this.Its because he inherited the family business.
From the day he was born, Ian Fyodor, the master of Fyodor Workshop, had been under imnse pressure to beco a craftsman like his father, his grandfather, and all those before him. When the expectations beca too much to handle, he lost the motivation to make anything and neglected his workshop.
I want to request sothing from you.
Why? I could hear the distrust in his voice.
Because you will soon beco known as the best craftsman in the empire.
Six months later, the princess would wear a necklace with an unusual design on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony. It would beco the hot topic of high society and propel Ian Fyodor into fa.
His value is going to skyrocket in the future, so it wouldnt hurt for
to buy so of his works in advance.
In other words, I wanted to invest in him for the sake of my prosperous future. I glanced at my lottery ticket, Ian.
Only you can make the thing I want.
Are you trying to intimidate
now?
What do you an by that?
Well, he just Ian looked at the knights standing behind
and trailed off.
I turned around, but it didnt look like any of them were threatening him, thinking,Theres no way these good-for-nothing escorts would stand up for .
Is there a reason why I cant request sothing from you?
Instead of answering my question, he spoke coldly. Why are you being so stubborn?
Because I believe you will make it better than anyone else.
At my earnest words, Ian parted his lips.
you believe in ?
Yes. I smiled and imagined the prosperous future I was going to have after selling a handicraft that this man made.
Can you tell
what you want then? Ian asked with a low voice. He sounded unsure, but I had definitely acquired his approval.
Finally! It seems like Im getting my hands on sothing from him after all.I happily recalled the object I had in mind.This should be good enough, right?

At that mont, the door to the office opened. Roy Hamilton, the dukes lieutenant, strode in. He was a prudent person, so he only reported to the duke when there was a major issue.
What is it?
At the dukes question, Roy swallowed nervously. A ssenger from the emperor is here to see you. It seems like he wants you to visit the imperial palace.
