Chapter 214 – The Princess of the Fallen Kingdom (1)
On the way back from a date with Raize, Dojin chewed on what Raize said and headed to her mansion.
‘The Empire might be targeting me…’ .’
Personally, I wasn’t afraid at all. It’s only a kingdom, but didn’t you get to the point where you could aim for the king’s neck by breaking through the best powers that protect a country?
Even though it’s an empire, I didn’t think it would make such a big difference.
‘You have to be careful about things like secrets, but….’
Dungeon stuff. So, it was necessary to be careful about things called mysteries and ancient spells.
While walking down the street, Dojin collided with something. Startled, he looked down and saw a hooded blond woman looking up at him with a startled expression.
“Miss-!”
The moment someone behind her shouts and pulls her hood over her woman, the presence of the blond woman in front of her disappears.
Do-jin, who watched it right in front of her nose, let out a weak exclamation. I don’t know if it’s magic or something, but a hood that erases my existence?
Isn’t it really equipment specialized for assassins? That said, the people in front of me looked too weak to be considered assassins, but…….
‘I don’t know.’
Do-jin spewed a little life to see if the opponent he bumped into was an assassin or not.
I thought that an assassin would react somehow- However, the woman who was hit by Do-jin’s life in the front stopped trembling.
‘What?’
“Lady, behind me-“
It was the woman standing in the back of her who responded.
A blonde woman pulled over her hood her.
She hid the woman in front of her behind her back and stanced cautiously.
A shiny dagger was visible through the long sleeve of her. It was too small and feeble to kill Dojin.
“… It doesn’t look like it, I’m sorry.”
“… ?”
Seeing the reaction of trying to protect someone rather than kill them, Do-jin was convinced that the two were not assassins.
Then, I don’t know why he’s wearing such suspicious things. See if you like it Or a nobleman trying to hide his identity his.
As she bowed her head to apologize and passed by, the woman who bumped into Do-jin of hers earlier secretly grabbed Do-jin by the hem of her dress.
Dojin looked back at the two with her slightly annoyed face.
“… What is it?”
“… There is no way to breathe life into people and just leave.”
“You apologized.”
“It’s not like that… You should give me clothes or something.”
“Ah-.”
Seeing the woman shrinking her body and saying that, Dojin sniffed at her. Slight ammonia smell. Do-jin, realizing that she had killed her, let out a sigh and took out one of her gold coins her from her bosom her.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t carry anything smaller than this.”
When she threw a gold coin instead of laundry, the woman standing behind her looked at Dojin as if surprised to receive the gold coin.
However, the blonde woman gave the gold coin back to her dojin her and she asked him for something else.
“Do you think we’re doing this because we’re short of money?”
“… What do you want?”
“Actually, it’s my first time in this city and I don’t even know where the clothing store is.”
“Ask the others.”
“Just take me to a store that sells clothes like that.”
As she said that, she pointed to the clothes the people around her were wearing. Modern outfits made and distributed by Nahee Dahee.
Upon hearing that, Do-jin admired inwardly, thinking that the marketing that Na-hee and Da-hee did was really working.
Are newcomers to the city interested in modern attire?
“… I will only take you there.”
“Yes! Thank you! Let’s go, Nanny!”
“My lady, it might be dangerous….”
“It’s okay! Trust me!”
After talking about this and that, the two looked at Do-jin as if to guide them.
Do-jin sent her eyes telling her not to let go and follow her, and she took the two of them to the top of Earth.
* * *
“Welcome! This is A&Z!”
“Welcome!”
Do-jin, who was looking at the store in front of the store, which was more crowded than expected, looked back at the two people who were following him as if it was over.
Of course, the two of them were already preoccupied with her store her, not Dojin.
“This, what the hell is this….”
“Could you pile up clothes like this and do business….”
As if it were a reproduction of a modern clothing store, clothes piled up and dozens or hundreds of clothes, shoes, and accessories on display.
It was a modern shop made in a fantasy-like way, where it was enchanted so it was impossible to steal it, and even if you touched it with dirty hands, you could make it clean with clean magic.
“Clothes cost… To start with a silver coin.”
“My lady, this is….”
Seeing the reaction of the two, Dojin thought so. If one silver coin is set in Korean currency, it is approximately 100,000 won.
It was a very expensive price for poor people in another world to buy. I was talking about African residents, but would you buy it if you asked those African residents to buy clothes worth 100,000 won?
With just 100,000 won, they could get food to eat and drink for a whole month.
“To start with a silver coin… It’s really cheap.”
“You’re right. I wonder if there will be anything left.”
“…… ?”
However, the reaction of the two was the exact opposite of Do-jin’s idea. Do-jin, who began to anticipate the identity of the two people, thought of getting out of this place as soon as possible.
“Then I’ll be on my way.”
“Oh! It’s not Dojin!”
“What is it, Do-jin? Where!”
And at that time, Na Hee Da-hee, who was managing the clothing store diligently, found Do-jin and ran quickly.
The two clung to Do-jin and started flirting about why he was here.
“Why are you here? Huh? To see if our clothing store is doing well?”
“Nothing! Don’t worry boss~ We’re doing a good job!”
“Not. Do-jin, did you come to buy clothes too? Pick, pick, pick!”
Looking down at the two people talking loudly, Dojin carefully covered his ears.
Ching-al-chong-al-chong-al.
The voices of the two people, like bullets, were fatally painful for Dojin.
“… CEO?”
“That person is the owner of this store. Miss.”
“I know that much, Nanny.”
And the blonde who overheard their conversation slowly approached. Na-hee and Da-hee looked back in amazement when they saw the blonde who approached like a ghost without any warning.
“Oh, it’s a surprise.”
“Cow, guest? What are you doing?”
“… I want to buy some clothes.”
“Aha, yes! What clothes do you need?”
“If you want, we can even coordinate!”
“No, Cody is done.”
Having said that, the blonde looked around and then turned her eyes to the place where women’s clothes were piled up.
Then he opened his mouth, swiping through them with his fingers.
“From there to here. All.”
“… Yes?”
“Didn’t you hear? I asked for everything from there to here.”
The two people, who did not know that they would see with their own eyes the existence they had only seen in dramas, shouted at the blonde with sparkling eyes.
“Please wait!”
“Employee! All staff mobilized!”
After a while, the clothes that had filled the walls were stacked one after another and loaded onto a delivery wagon.
The blonde and the nanny rode the wagon to their house, and Na Hee Da-hee was delighted with the sales of several gold coins at once.
* * *
Right after the blonde woman bought hundreds of clothes at once, Nahee and Dahee immediately displayed the same clothes in the store.
Surprised by the insanely fast production speed, as if it were really made in a factory, Dojin asked the secret.
“… No, how do you make it so quickly?”
“Yes? There’s nothing I can’t do because I spend money!”
Dahee heard the words that seemed to throw away everything called Chaesanseong. What? Can I spend money? These kids didn’t seem to know what a business was.
It’s a pity that there is a pocket called Dojin, but if it wasn’t for him, it would have been a steamed bun without an encore, and a Nobelpia without Top Toon.
Do-jin couldn’t understand what kind of self he was doing business with.
There was one more thing I couldn’t understand.
“And, what do other clothing stores say if you do business like this?”
“Why other clothing stores?”
“When I heard about it earlier, I heard that it is very cheap at this price… You guys even give out clothes for free.”
“Ah- so what do you think other tailors who are out of business will say?”
“Okay.”
Upon hearing those words, Nahee waved her fingers left and right and began to tsk tsk her tongue. He even explained it to Dojin.
“You know one, you don’t know the other.”
“… What?”
“What other people say, hire them too!”
“… What?”
Dojin laughed at the absurd solution.
However, Na-hee and Da-hee took Do-jin into the clothing store as if they had really solved it that way.
Inside the shop, I saw tailors working hard on making clothes. Seen a lot.
“Voila! A clothes making machine commissioned by the Mage Tower! As fast as a factory!”
“And- the artisans who have been making clothes for decades handle them! Dee is good at it!”
The tailors who heard the voices of the two raised their heads and looked at them. And he greeted them both with a bright smile.
“Gosh! Bosses! Welcome!”
“Bosses! I made all the clothes here!”
It wouldn’t be like hard labor, working in your own shop. The tailors’ faces were full of smiles.
Do-jin cautiously went and asked about the unknown question.
“Why do you work here?”
“Yes? I do it because I get paid.”
“No, the reason to shut down your own shop and work here….”
“Ahaha! The number of digits is different. Digits!”
At those words, Dojin could see them smiling brightly.
Having your own store in a different world didn’t mean you could make such dramatic profits.
Two or three big silver coins at best. Just slightly better than others. Nahee and Dahee offered ten times the sales as a condition of working at their store.
If you exclude the maintenance cost of the store, the material cost of clothes, and everything else, the net profit from sales is not so much.
In such a situation, sales ten times, net profit soared dozens of times, and at best a hundred times.
“I’m happy! To the extent that I want to do it for the rest of my life!”
They came here after being offered a hundred times their annual salary.
Hearing those words, Do-jin glared at Na-hee and Da-hee.
‘These years…….’
It’s not money, just look at it.

What the new country was most concerned about was tradition. Things that make me nostalgic for my old country.
Even more so, wasn’t the king of the kingdom the one who beheaded the evil nobles and gained the support of the common people?
If the king’s lineage remains, he may try to rebuild the kingdom again by inciting the people and rallying forces.
So the nobles didn’t want the king’s lineage to survive.
“Are you sure?”
“Cluck- What kind of ability do you think this old man has been able to live on?”
The Republic’s Elector Counts hired the Imperial Assassins. An assassin who possessed the mysteries of the empire and said that he could kill even the gods.
