I was surprised.

I stared blankly at Maria Patron's necklace hanging on her neck.

Why is Shananet's necklace hanging over there?

It was absurd and I was overwhelmed.

"Why is the necklace..."

In my murmur, Maria Patron touched her necklace with her fingertips.

Perhaps I misunderstood my gaze at the piercing, but she had a superior smile around her mouth.

"What a lovely necklace, isn't it? I've been praised by other ladies for having a good eye today."

"...It's a beautiful necklace."

The ladies with Maria Patron were a little upset but admitting that the necklace was a pretty good thing.

It was Lombardy's Madame's item, and now Shananet has it, so it's a 'modest' necklace, not a really simple one.

Still, it was a necklace of good quality enough for ordinary nobles.

It was even more than enough for a woman like Maria Patron.

"Where did you get that necklace?"

I immediately grabbed my hair and wielded it, holding back what I wanted to yell at her to give the necklace.

Thanks to it, my voice was shaking to pieces.

"Oh, this necklace is not something you can just pay for."

Maria Patron said, furtively covering it with her hands as if I were greedy for her stuff.

Another noblewoman next to her asked to check.

"Did you say that Lady Patron's precious person gave it to you as a gift?"

"Yes, it was my birthday not too long ago."

I doubted my ears.

What did I just hear?

Who gave you that necklace?

"So, Lady Patron's lover gave you that necklace?"

"Yes."

Crazy.

Vestian son of a bitch.1

Even a cannibal living in the forest would turn around spitting phlegm because he'd get sick if he ate something like you.3

He stole the things left by his wife's mother and gave them to his lover?

How rotten can a man do such a thing?1

"It's a very special thing that's been handed down to his family for generations."

It was the moment when the legacy of Madame Lombardy turned into a family heirloom of the Schultz.

I was so angry that I became dizzy.

Seeing Maria Patron using it, she seemed doesn't know what necklace it was.

If only she knew that was Shananet's necklace.

And she wouldn't have acted like this if she knew it was my grandmother's necklace.

No matter how stupid and thoughtless she is.

She wouldn't walk in front of me wearing that necklace and recognize it.

So Vestian lied to Maria Patron about the origin of the necklace.

Then Maria Patron spoke in a shy voice.

"Although we have a lot of time apart for reasons. He's a person who makes me feel loved for such a special gift."2

She deserves what she does!

You have to speak properly.

The situation is that Vestian is a married man with two children, not love, but an affair.

And Maria Patron thinks I don't know about their affair, and she's splitting it up.

She is stealing Lombardy's money, in front of Shananet's nephew.

In front of me, Florentia Lombardy.

Okay.

Vestian wasn't the only one to be punished.

I thought for a moment about how to deal with that brazen woman.

It just so happens that today was the perfect day.

When the plan came up, my head, filled with anger, calmed down.

I took a glass of fruit juice and poured it over Maria Patron's clothes.

I didn't even pretend to be a mistake.

I'm holding back what I want to pour into her face.

"Gee, what are you..."

Embarrassed, Maria Patron grabbed her own dress dripping with juice and tried to argue with me.

I gave her a big smile.

"Oh, mistake."

And I made an offer to Maria Patron that she would never refuse.

"Your clothes got dirty by mistake, so I'll compensate you."

"You know how much these clothes cost..."

"Premium dress at the Gallahan Clothing Store."

Maria Patron's mouth, which was bursting with complaints, is closed.

"I'll make up with that. Let's go to Gallahan Clothing Store."

"Well, then..."

I got up from my seat first.

Then ladies who were next to her asked.

"Can we come with you?"

I answered with a nod.

"Yes, go ahead."

The more spectators the better to spread the rumors.

"Huh? Did you ask for 8,000 gold, now?"

Vestian's startled voice roared in the Pellet's office.

"Yes, that's right."

But Clerivan's voice in response was calm.

"I knew you'd ask for a certain amount of money in exchange for the right of the mine. But it is, 8,000 gold?."

For a very large number, Vestian gulped.

"Isn't that too greedy?"

At Vestian's rebuke, Clerivan seemed to laugh in vain.

Who wants to steal other people's things first?

He must be told that he is too greedy.

However, Clerivan remained calm, recalling what Florentia had ordered.

"It's a secret. Pellet is not really my company."

"Well, then..."

"Can't I have the money to build a business like this and buy a mine? Of course, it was invested by many people."
