Runs Romance Fantasy with Baby-nim Cash – Episode 248

☆ 248 ☆

‘What could she have been carrying around all these years?’

Camellia flipped through the book.

She expected a diary or a notebook filled with important records, but instead, she found printed letters.

‘Is it a favorite book?’

Even if it is, carrying it around for years?

Just then, the sound of a cuckoo singing drifted in from outside.

Camellia glanced at the documents on the desk, then back at the book.

‘Ugh, whatever!’

Camellia hid the book in her skirt.

She walked out of the office as if nothing had happened.

As she rounded the corner of the hallway, a palace servant stood there, sweating profusely.

“You’ve worked hard. Thank you.”

“Not at all, Young Lady Poshette.”

Camellia took out a gold coin from her bosom and gave it to the servant.

The servant’s mouth widened.

Still worried, he asked Camellia.

“You’re really not trying to interfere with the Princess’s measurement project, are you?”

“Why would I do that? The imperial citizens would suffer as a result. I was just checking to see if she was doing well. Why, do you think I don’t know what’s best for everyone and would ruin it?”

“N, no way, hehe.”

“Hmph!”

Camellia turned her head away and left the imperial palace.

* * *

A little later.

Luatisha, having finished the meeting, returned to her office.

Today’s meeting had been satisfactory.

If she just organized the notes from the meeting a bit more, she could leave work early.

“……Huh?”

Luatisha paused as she was about to sit down.

Mysteriously, the documents on her desk were scattered.

‘There are no missing documents, and there are no signs of tampering with the contents.’

It was unsettling to dismiss it as just her imagination.

Luatisha wasn’t exactly neat and fastidious, but she wouldn’t leave documents spread out like this, as if she had only glanced at them.

Document management was important.

It was a habit she had developed since she was young, working with Baron Dierre and Count Kandor.

‘There are many who want to ruin the measurement project.’

Especially the nobles on the Empress’s side would be most likely to do so.

If this project failed, Luatisha would lose the trust of the Emperor as well as the imperial citizens.

Luatisha quietly looked around.

This office had been personally selected and decorated by the Empress.

Rather than being flashy and distracting, it was comfortable and neat, with everything from the wallpaper to the furniture and decorations being top-notch.

‘There aren’t any obvious signs that someone touched or took something.’

At that moment, something flashed through her mind.

‘Could it be.’

Other people would have targeted the business documents, but Liriel was different.

As she deals with fraud and sorcery, she might have tried to find out about Akitoos [the book] and take it.

Luatisha hurriedly opened the drawer of her desk.

“It’s gone……?”

The Akitoos, which should have been neatly placed in the drawer, had disappeared.

‘Crazy…….’

Luatisha’s face turned pale.

The medium of her power, and the key to preventing the tragedy this fall.

Someone had taken that key from Luatisha.

Besides.

‘I’m summoning a 15-rated novel right now, of all things……!’

Luatisha grabbed her head.

‘Why now! Why did it have to disappear at this timing!’

Please don’t read it.

Please don’t look at it!

If it fell into Liriel’s hands, wouldn’t those dignified and noble priests be watching it together?

That novel is the most provocative even for a 15-rated novel—the first 15-rated novel summon, so I deliberately chose the strongest one—what if the priests collapse in shock?

What if it’s in the newspaper?

Priests shocked by the obscene novel that Princess Paeraton enjoys reading…….

‘Ugh, I feel like I’m going to die of embarrassment…….’

Ugh, Luatisha collapsed onto the desk.

In front of her, a notification window popped up.

[A new quest has arrived.]

* * *

At the same time, Poshette Marquis Manor.

Camellia, having silenced the maids, took out the Akitoos she had been hiding.

Turning the thick hardcover, she saw something written in ornate letters in the center, along with a classically decorated pattern.

“〈The Duke Who Kisses for 5000 Gold〉?”

The meaning of the sentence wasn’t immediately clear.

“Is this the title of the novel? What kind of title is this?”

Camellia frowned and turned the page.

“His hand gently ran through my hair. Warm breath touched my lips, and soon his lips parted and his tongue touched my……. Tongue?”

Both of Camellia’s cheeks flushed.

Thud!

Camellia unknowingly slammed the book shut and threw it away.

Standing far away, she clutched her heart and glared at Akitoos.

“W, what kind of content is this…….”

Knowing that no one was there, Camellia glanced around.

And then she slyly picked up Akitoos again.

“Ahem, it’s not that I want to read it, it’s to get to know Luatisha properly.”

Her grandfather had said so.

You must know your enemy and yourself to win.

It’s absolutely not because I’m curious.

Camellia swallowed as she opened the book.

“N, no! W, why is there a tongue……. How does a tongue……. Is this really happening?”

Camellia’s eyes widened.

As she hurriedly turned to the next page, that important scene was over, and the story went back to the past.

It showed how the heroine met the Duke.

‘T, they have such a bad relationship, but later on, they do something like that?’

She couldn’t believe it.

Turning to the next page, the heroine was suddenly scattering 5000 gold coins at the Duke.

Saying, are you the guy who kisses for just 5000 gold?

‘C, contract marriage in this way?’

The Duke felt like he was being sold for money and was displeased.

But instead of getting angry right away, he wanted to embarrass this audacious woman.

So he hugged her waist and just like that—.

“……?”

Camellia’s eyes widened like a rabbit.

“T, t, this shameless……!”

A man putting his hand on a woman’s waist without her permission!

And even her, her lips……!

How could such a thing happen in the world!

Even if it’s a novel, it’s too much!

“L, Luatisha has been cherishing this kind of novel for years?!

Luatisha Paeraton was the most famous lady in high society.

How could such a person read such things behind the scenes!

She’s not just reading it, is she?

“How could she do that! It’s so shocking!”

Always carrying around such obscene and lewd content without any shame!

“Luatisha, I’ve always thought of you as my rival. But to enjoy reading this kind of thing……. I’m disappointed! It’s too much! You’re not qualified to be my rival!”

Even though she said that with her mouth, Camellia’s hand turning the pages was getting faster and faster.

Her eyes couldn’t leave the book.

In the novel, the heroine said to the Duke.

“You say you don’t like it with your mouth, but your body is honest.”

Camellia flinched for a moment.

That’s exactly what she was doing now.

‘N, no! I’m just checking! I’m definitely not reading it because I like it!’

At that time, a close maid came in with a knock.

“Young lady, it’s time for dinner. Everyone is waiting.”

“I’m not eating!”

“Y, you’re not eating? Our young lady not eating?”

“I said I’m not eating! Get out!”

Camellia waved her hand without taking her eyes off the book.

The maid was shocked by the sight and left the room.

Not long after, the door opened again.

“Melli, are you really not going to eat? Did something happen at the imperial palace?”

“We have veal tenderloin steak for dinner tonight.”

“Yes, and for dessert, we have vanilla ice cream with raspberry confit. You like that, don’t you?”

“Sister, are you really not eating? Did you finally get a terminal illness or something?”

The Poshette family, who had gathered in a crowd, looked at Camellia worriedly.

“I’m not eating! I have important things to do! Don’t bother me!”

It’s a very, very important thing.

Because it’s about revealing the true nature of that Luatisha Paeraton!

The faces of the family members were distorted with worry.

For a child who would jump out of bed even while sleeping if it was mealtime, to skip dinner……!

The Poshette Lady was about to cry.

She carefully approached her daughter and then stopped.

“W, wait a minute……. Melli is reading a b, book while saying she’s not eating?”

“……!”

The Poshette Marquis’s brow furrowed at his daughter-in-law’s words.

He had found his granddaughter coming out of Tormellan Palace [Luatisha’s Palace] while he was leaving the outer palace of the imperial palace today.

And now, in Tormellan Palace,

‘Lulu is working.’

The Poshette Marquis knew very well that his granddaughter was very conscious of Luatisha.

And what was underlying that emotion.

‘It seems like she was stimulated. It seems like she finally thought about studying.’

“It’s Lulu after all.”

The Poshette Lady and the Lady immediately understood what he meant.

She’s the Paeraton Princess for nothing.

“It seems like she was influenced by the Princess.”

“Let’s not disturb her reading and leave.”

“Make sure to prepare her meal when she’s hungry later. Prepare everything Melli wants to eat so she can have it.”

“Yes, Marquis.”

The family members left the room with pleased smiles.

Even during that time, Camellia couldn’t take her eyes off the book.

That’s because the Duke was now giving the heroine 5000 gold in return for leaving him!

Dugeun, dugeun [sound of a heart beating fast].

What will happen?

Camellia turned the page nervously.

And.

“The end……?”

A blank white page was greeting her.

“It ends here?”

Camellia unknowingly jumped up from her seat.

No way!

“How can it end here!”

At such an important scene!

Besides—.

‘Somehow, if he succeeds in catching her, it feels like it will be much hotter than before.’

They broke the bed even with the misunderstanding that they didn’t love each other!

How chaotic will it be once they confirm their feelings?

The Duke’s castle might collapse this time.

Besides, what’s the reason why the Duke decorated the rose garden!

The great event wasn’t just happening on the bed.

‘Or the misunderstanding could deepen because the Duke caught her by giving her 5000 gold.’

They misunderstand each other more, resent and hate each other, but never let go, and do this and that……!

“Oh my!”

Camellia covered her hot cheeks with her hands.

‘……Is the next volume with Luatisha?’

Of course, it will be.

She’s been carrying it around for years.

Camellia hid Akitoos well under the cushion and pulled the bell cord.

A close maid came into the room with a brightened face.

“Young lady, are you hungry? I’ll bring you food right away! I’ve prepared everything you like!”

“Food is not the problem right now.”

“Yes?”

“Find out when Luatisha goes to work at the imperial palace these days.”

“Young lady, I’ve prepared food, you know? There’s meat. I took out all the carrots and peppers. Aren’t you going to eat?”

“That’s not important right now! Hurry up and find out!”

“Yes……. You have to tell me right away if you get hungry?”

The maid left the room with a worried face.

After the door was completely closed, Camellia took out the book from under the cushion.

And opened the first chapter again.

It’s definitely not because she wants to read it again.

This is only to properly understand her rival.

The thought of accusing Luatisha of having such a book has completely disappeared.

“I, it’s not exactly because I’m curious about the next volume.”

Camellia muttered primly.

“Just, I just don’t want to win in that way.”

I want to win with my own ability.

How can I say I won when I’m just standing still and Luatisha falls because of a scandal?

“……So, finding out when Luatisha goes to work is also to show my ability.”

It’s definitely not because I’m expecting to bring the next volume!

* * *

“This is a big problem.”

I nodded at Count Kandor’s words.

“It’s a big problem. To take Akitoos.”

At that time, Azul took his hand off the drawer of the desk.

“How is it?”

Azul shook his head.

“The spirit magic hasn’t been broken. There are no problems. The water keeps flowing.”

Surely I wouldn’t just leave important things like Akitoos without any measures.

Invisible and unfelt water is flowing in the desk drawer of my office in Tormellan Palace.

It’s normal for it to be reflected and reflected in the water shadow, making it look like there’s nothing in the drawer.

“But you saw Akitoos and took it?”

It’s not just human spirit magic, it’s high-dimensional spirit magic used by a hybrid of spirits and humans.

There’s no trap that explodes when touched, but the fact that she saw Akitoos was shocking.

“It must be a great ability user.”

“That’s right.”

“Have you identified who took it?”

At those words, I pulled the bell cord.

Then Sid came out of the small room connected to the office.

With a trembling palace servant.

“P, please save me, Princess! After hearing that I would never touch anything……. She just said she was checking to see if the measurement project was going well!”

“Okay, just tell me who it is.”

“I, it’s Young Lady Poshette!”

At that shout, Baron Dierre raised one eyebrow.

“Young Lady Poshette? That’s unexpected. I thought she would be Liriel’s minion.”

“Hmm, I’ve heard that Liriel has invited Young Lady Poshette several times.”

I shook my head.

“Young Lady Poshette didn’t move under Liriel’s orders. She’s been a troublemaker since she was young, but she’s not that kind of kid. She would hate Liriel more than cooperate with her.”

“Then…….”

I nodded.

“If Camellia Poshette is really such a great ability user that she wouldn’t be caught by Azul’s spirit magic—.”

I have to bring her to my side.

Count Kandor, who read the rest of the story, smiled.

“It seems like the Princess already has a plan.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

At that time, Baron Dierre tilted his head.

“But you seem strangely anxious.”

“Huh? R, really?”

“Was there something in Akitoos that Young Lady Poshette shouldn’t have seen?”

Uh…….

W, well, that’s…….

I avoided Baron Dierre’s gaze.

How can I say this when I’m so embarrassed!
