Even though it was a shameless remark, Ivonne threw it out with the idea that she has to give it a try.
Fortunately, Blitzen replied without much displeasure, saying he would do so. In fact, for Blitzen, it wouldn’t be a bad thing if Ivonne willingly divorced and parted ways without any scandal with this much money.
He was preoccupied with the rumors of noble society due to his complex about his lack of magical abilities. Even if she had to attach additional conditions to lighten the gossip, he would have considered it.
“But… as you know, you’re a commoner, and to inherit the property of nobles, you need to work in the imperial palace or at least have the status of a minor noble, right?”
“So?”
“I was thinking of managing the funds for you since you don’t have a national bank account. How about that?”
Blitzen said subtly, as if testing the waters. In contrast, Ivonne was simply dumbfounded. At first glance, it seemed as if their positions had been reversed.
“It would be good for you to entrust the money to me. Besides the 500,000 gold, Azolt Mine is owned by the Ulfes County estate, so it’s not even transferable to a commoner.”
The Sortanic Empire had a distinct boundary between nobles and commoners, with a bias towards nobles. Perhaps they even enacted a law stating that “the property of nobles is solely for nobles,” allowing only nobles to sell and transfer it among themselves.
For a commoner to inherit the property of a noble, they either had to go through a very difficult and complicated trial for permission, become a granted minor noble, or simply give up.
Ivonne’s eyes, piercing through Blitzen’s inner thoughts, became slightly melancholic.
‘For a rare moment, he readily agreed to my request. Well, it’s not going to be easy even to get a worthless mine that will soon become defunct, I suppose.’
However, even if that was the case, he had just given it to her under the pretext of ‘financial management,’ and now he was trying to take it back.
Unlike a commoner owning a noble’s property, it was very easy for a noble to possess a commoner’s property. Blitzen couldn’t be unaware of this. However, naturally, Ivonne had also anticipated that Blitzen would come out like this.
“No, I’ll manage it myself.”
“Give me 10,000 gold each month for proxy asset management… What?”
Blitzen, who was muttering about taking away not only what he had given but also everything else, widened his eyes.
“What do you mean? You don’t have a status, so-“
“Oh, no. I have a status.”
“What?”
Although she had taken a while to release the fox into the nearby forest, Ivonne had meticulously prepared to live alone without any problems. Moreover, in the meantime, didn’t Blitzen bring Celestia?
Under the hope and possibility that the two might meet each other, Ivonne had prepared to abandon the male lead of this world in order to lead a peaceful and comfortable life, despite his ailing body.
“In any case, what method are you using…?”
Blitzen’s astonished question made Ivonne, who had adorned herself for the first time in a while, smile more brightly than ever.
As if the sunlight filtering through the falling cherry blossom petals had turned into a smile, Blitzen’s eyes momentarily grew hazy with that ephemeral beauty. Whether he said it or not, Ivonne swallowed a chuckle in response to Blitzen’s question.
‘In novels, sometimes the people around the lead are made foolish to reveal the lead’s extraordinary qualities.’
Although with the relative condition, this is often followed by explanations to convince the readers. Among them, there are methods like ‘problem-solving known only to the lead,’ which Ivonne used.
To create a more poignant and beautiful romance between the noble male lead and the commoner female lead, she sought to understand and utilize this nobility-biased empire for her future endeavors.
One of these methods was the one that Blitzen mentioned earlier, the quickest and surest way for a commoner with nothing to gain a definitive status in this world.
To become a maid in the palace.
- It came amid the peaceful single life
Time seemed to flow much faster, and it had already been six months since the breakup between the female lead of this world, Ivonne, and the male lead, Blitzen.
Once referred to as an unfortunate commoner woman who suffered the pain of a breakup during the clear spring, full of dreams of love. For Ivonne, who came from Ulfest County, that too had become a thing of the past. Rumors said she wouldn’t last more than a month, but Ivonne spread a new rumor in just a week.
‘The first-ever perfect score maid of commoner origin,’ a very positive rumor for commoners but quite embarrassing for nobles.
Thanks to this, the two-story house on the hill that Ivonne purchased with a portion of the 500,000 gold given by Blitzen was named the ‘Tens Manor.’ Since the maximum score is 10, it meant a mansion of 10 points.
The story of the purchase of ‘Tens Manor’ was quite interesting.
It happened when Ivonne had just arrived in the capital city. Since the palace was in the capital, Ivonne, who had come from Ulfest County in the southeast, was trying to find an inn at the Travelers’ Guild.
Strangely, on that day, the fox caused some trouble. The fox, which lingered near Ivonne’s few belongings as if asking to be taken along, was surprisingly quiet during the several changes of the carriage.
Eventually, Ivonne decided to follow the fox’s footsteps, wanting to give in to it at least once. They arrived at the two-story house on the hill, a little distant from the city, and unexpectedly heard a welcoming voice from the manager of the mansion standing in front of it.
