Otome Game Mob Villain Chapter 257

After the completion of the charcoal truck and pocket watch, my father and I began to move in different directions.

Father sent a letter to Renalute and approached him about a eting near the border.

He imdiately left for the imperial capital to confirm and put down roots with the Emperor of the Empire.

I, who was left in the Bardia territory, had a eting with Cross, Capella, Diana and others to discuss the formation of troops for the establishnt of the Second Knight Order.

There were many adjustnts to be carried out, such as specialising in combat and public works.

Among the units to be organised within the Second Order, the one that has been difficult to coordinate is the Intelligence Unit, which is mainly being considered by , Deanna and Capella.

Within the Second Order, the na of the intelligence unit is planned to be the 'Bardia Frontier Special Branch'.

The beastn have different attributes and specialisations depending on their tribe, so it is difficult to decide whether to specialise or to strike a balance.

While making such adjustnts, today I am waiting for a visitor in the reception room.

I took out a pocket watch from my pocket, checked the ti and muttered to myself, "It's about ti".

At that mont, there is a knock on the parlour door and the maid announces that I have a visitor.

I tell her to let him through imdiately and I wait for her to co in.

Shortly afterwards, there is another knock on the door, and when I answer it, the visitor enters the drawing room.

'Master Rid, sorry to keep you waiting."

'Hello, Chris. I've been waiting for you.'

Chris has beautiful blonde hair and a dignified look on her face.

As I answered, I urged her to sit down on the sofa.

Yes, Chris is the visitor today.

She smiled as she sat down on the sofa, as I urged her to do.

'Master Rid. What kind of product can I help you with today?"

'Ha, thank you for talking so quickly. I'll start with this.'

I slowly put the pocket watch on the desk as I answered her question.

This must be the first ti Chris has seen it.

She looks at suspiciously and asks , "Is this ?

'Is this ......?'

Pick it up and press the button on the protrusion. The cover will open. Be careful not to drop it.

I see. It's like an accessory locket that you put your portrait in.

She carefully takes the pocket watch and presses the button as I tell her to.

When the cover opens and she sees the clock face, she is stunned for a mont, but soon realises that it is a watch and stands up vigorously on the spot.

'Master Rid, is this a portable watch⁉?"

Yes, it's a watch you can carry inside your pocket. It's a 'pocket watch'. How's it look, isn't it great?

It's nothing , but great. Countries and aristocrats all over the continent want one like this. I even want one myself. ......"

She smiles at at Chris' words and calls out to Deanna, who was standing behind her

Diana, could you please put the things you were preparing on the desk?"

'Yes, I will.'

Diana places the ornate 'wooden box' on the desk between and Chris, and then bows and steps back.

anwhile, Chris sits down on the sofa.

I quickly offered the wooden box on the desk to Chris, who was sitting in front of , as it was.

'I've been aning to give this to Chris for a long ti. Open it.'

'Is it for ......? Well, if you'll excuse for being a bit presumptuous, I'd like to change that.'

Chris opened the crate in awe and rolled his eyes.

There was a "pocket watch" with the Bardia family crest on it.

In fact, from the ti I started developing the pocket watch, I had almost already decided who I would give the first finished product to.

One of them is Chris, who is standing right in front of .

She looks at with a puzzled look.

'Master Rid, no matter how much I want to, I can't accept such a precious item. Oh, no, if you can, I will pay you an appropriate amount."

It seems that Chris can't accept it for free, but wants it if she can buy it.

The Christie Trading Company that she runs has considerably grown in size compared to when I t her.

In addition, the company is also very busy, as if to say that 'ti is money'.

A 'pocket watch' that allows one to easily check the ti is definitely an attractive item for Chris.

However, I lightly shake my head at her answer.

'No, no, I want Chris to use that pocket watch. Of course, there are several reasons. One is as a billboard, and one is to show how it can be improved. The last one is ...... I want to sell that watch to the nobility of the Imperial Capital in a while. That's exactly what I want, for the right ......, no, too right price."

I grinned slyly as I finished.

Chris imdiately realised the intent of my words and smiled blackly.

"Master Rid is also a very business-minded man, I see."

'Thank you, I will take that as a complint.'

The eting with Chris began like this.
