Episode 33

The old wooden wall was filled with memo papers for sale information.

'Oh, this property will go up. Maybe in a few years……. It's already for sale, too.'

Wherever I went, it was money. Feudal values ​​fell to the ground, and noble ladies who asked for money were loved. It was also common for noble ladies like Elisha to come to see real estate.

Elisha was familiar with the circumstances of her capital through her past life memories. Seeing Elisha looking at her notes, her owner spoke to her kindly.

“Welcome. Is there anything you are looking for?”

The present capital was prospering day by day. Buying real estate worth investing in the future was a great concern for noble ladies.

“Yes. I want to see some properties around Yurif.”

“Ah, you mean the resort of nobles, Yurif. It has hot springs, is very close to the capital, and has gates, so it's the best choice! These days, many beautiful mansions are built, so it is very popular. Buy it and you will never regret it. You can use it as a vacation home or as an investment property. Come on, these are the mansions currently for sale over here.”

Elisha looked at her list. She didn't have what she was looking for.

“Is there any land near Yurif's Enchanted Forest for sale?”

The owner's eyes widened. He looked around and lowered his voice.

“How did you know about that property? You are a person with a bit of information. It's going to be auctioned off soon, but……. It's not something you're looking for.”

“I want the land.”

Elisha said clearly.

“It's fine even if it's not right now, so if you have any related information, please give me.”

The owner's eyes narrowed. Elisha looked at her without averting her eyes.

In her past life, Elisha had frequented Carola's real estate office on errands. Carola would send her Elisha to her real estate office to listen to her story and pick out one of her recommendations. Because of that, real estate was fast.

“I have already been there. There won't be a chance that that much land will be released to Yurif for a while. I'm not looking for a short term investment property. I want you to show me the property for sale.”

Elisha skillfully used terms known to traders. It was a term she could understand even after visiting real estate once or twice, but when Elisha, who was a young lady and was like a lady, spoke, her feelings were quite different.

Elisha moved her hand for a swipe of her. The owner looked at Elisha's hand. Elisha was wearing a black diamond ring with an enormous Al.

The owner gave a sly smile and showed me a scrawled note.

“The estimated price is about this.”

Elisha nodded her head.

'As expected, it's expensive because it's a resort town for nobles.'

A little more expensive than expected price. However, it was a must-have property to make Lucerne a homeowner.

“I'm telling you like someone who knows something, but the land is a sale that even most businessmen would be tired of. If we don't clean up the forest and build a hotel, we won't be able to deal with it. Besides, there are some dirty rumors going around.”

The owner seemed to believe that Elisha had some money, so she slowly told her story.

She said, “It is a land where the landlord is missing, so it is a land of misfortune. If you want to buy a vacation home, I'll relay the one for a good price.”

Elisha shook her head.

“I like a little bit of land. Besides, I really want to build a new villa. The entire city is a hot spring area, so if you dig here, you might find a hot spring.”

After hearing Elisha's words, the real estate agent made a sad face. It was the eyes of a rookie who could pick up something from somewhere. Elisha didn't care. She was also what she intended her to be. Later, this conversation could also enter Lucerne, so it was good to have a gap.

“It is not a hot spring area that comes out just by digging the ground. Buying land without hot springs is a waste. You can use poison to save money.”

“I am rather lucky. Please write down the property information.”

The vendor reluctantly wrote down the information. Elisha memorized the information roughly into her mouth just in case.

'I need to get some money…….'

She had to find a way to convince Lucerne to buy this.

If I had to, I had to borrow money. Of course, with a clear way to repay it. A peek laughed out.

'To prepare to pay off the debt of 30,000 gold coins, I might have to go into debt.'

It was a very Cartier thing. They are people who are united by desire, and like Elisha, they have driven those who are obsessed with their families to extremes. In time, it would make me make more and more illogical choices.

The promised 10 minutes passed. As Elisha was about to leave, she found a pamphlet on the desk across from her.

“A new mansion is being built,” She said. It is a very pretty bachelor mansion.”

The staff in front of the table smiled and explained.

Elisha picked up the pamphlet. And she read it.

'Rose Mansion.'

'A mansion for single women. Complete escort. A paradise for safe, wealthy single women with maids. Recommended for heiresses!'

It was a publicity pamphlet for a mansion planned to be built in a wealthy small town near the capital.

“If you write down your address, we can send you the information. Would you like to receive it?”

“Yes. Like.”

Elisha wrote down the duke's address.

'Someday.'

When I divorced Lucerne, I wanted to buy a mansion like that before it was too late. The body of a woman living alone was quite dangerous even in the city.

Mansions with bodyguards and maids become fashionable in recent years. It was Elisha's dream in her previous life to find such a mansion and live a quiet life.

“Ah.”

Elisha, trying to leave her estate, found the streets hectic. People were flocking to her from all sides. Ian and Nora raised their hands, buried in the crowd.

“Lady! Come through the back door!”

The coachman frantically pulled her horse. Nora was looking there too. Elisha went to her back door without delay.

Beep! Beep!

Someone blew a trumpet that made a loud noise in the road. The side of the back door of the property was a quiet, very narrow alley.

Elisha realized why people were heading to one place like a school of fish.

'Ah, it's Lucerne.'

A large hotel was built in the center of the capital. The hotel had a very large balcony.

The hotel was famous for being frequented by members of the royal family. A princess in a golden dress stood above the hotel.

She said, “She posted a message of victory from the general. Blessings from Saint Undine!”

The public went wild as she shouted at her people. Eventually, as the shouts subsided, Lucerne appeared.

He was dressed in an elegant navy blue military uniform trimmed with gold and wore black boots.

When he appeared with a large body, people's shouts grew. He reigned like a god in front of people and looked more handsome than usual. The closer he looked, the more distant he seemed.

'I can't believe I really married that person.'

Elisha laughed lightly. The distance was close, but strangely it seemed distant.

“Long live the general!”

“The Great General protects our empire!”

It was almost religious fever. Before I knew it, Elisha took a step into her alley and was watching it.

'Is this the person I saw last night?'

It was far off when Lucerne fell asleep on his lap. If it hadn't been for the promise he had made to dinner today, Elisha might have thought that was her dream.

'Ah.'

Suddenly, Elisha felt as if her eyes met Lucerne, who was looking down on people.

'It can't be. How many people are here I'm having all sorts of delusions, too.'

Elisha watched the girls in front of her with tears in her eyes in particular. They may have the same imagination as Elisha. That Lucerne is looking at me…….

Suddenly, Elisha's gaze landed on an old poster on the wall between the alleys.

-Saint Undine protects us.

She said that when the saintess dies, she will bless her people for several years, and her soul will remain in the empire and wander. Saint Undine was the most popular woman ever because of her beautiful appearance.

She-she won thanks to Undine-sama.

Someone scrawled their wind on the edge of the poster. Elisha thought that being a saint was a very busy and exhausting job. Elisha, who lived through hell in her previous life, hoped her death would just be the end.

'Do I have to protect her until I die?'

A life where there is nothing more to think about or work for. I just wanted a break. However, even after the saintess and hero died, people really wanted many things.

'The knights aren't coming.'

The alley was quiet, but there were so many people outside the alley that it made my stomach ache. I didn't know if I took a step outside, I might get caught up in people like that school of fish.

Elisha turned her back to go inside the property. In the meantime, the door to the estate was closed, as if afraid of an angry mob coming in.

'The carriage will be all right, right?'

That was the moment.

Puck!

Something hit Elisha on the cheek. Elisha stumbled. Her eyes were blurred.

“Ah!”

Elisha screamed. Two of her men who smelled like her homeless were giggling at Elisha.

“Town!”

Something stuck in her mouth. It was a smelly fabric. The next moment, the men put a leather pouch on Elisha's head. Dirty leather smelled of damp mud.

'Nora…….'

Her eyes were blurred.

Puck!

Her body fell to the floor.

“Quickly take it off!”

“You look like an aristocrat, but can you really rape me for two years?”

“Okay. If possible, make a mess of her and dump it at the crossroads.”

No.

Elisha struggled. Cheek, take. Her dress is torn The cold wind touched Elisha's skin.
