Chapter 68: Potential Sons-in-law? [2]

"Are you saying I should go with you?" Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Haha! Of course."

Oh, I got caught.

I knew it would turn out like this. If I decline here, I'll lose a perfect promotional item.

I guess I'll have to start from the bottom and work my way up.

But even that won't be easy. Princess Justia, whose judgment is twisted, may exert an uncomfortable influence.

'Still, it's not that far from the Empire, so it might be worth a visit.'

A week would probably be enough.

I was willing to spend that much. If only the dried persimmons would sell like hotcakes.

Moreover, by joining the Western Nations Alliance, there was also personal benefit to be gained.

There are many noble ladies there who have received help from me, like Princess Justia.

While I'm at it, I might as well get something in return. I nodded with a big smile.

"Okay. Okay then."

***

Duke Paley III of Crawford looked dubious.

As a person known for being a womanizer, he was aware of the existence of Cordyceps sinensis extract.

But the problem was that he knew it too well. Because he's been to the Kingdom of Deliat quite a few times to take that elixir.

But the next day, the king's attitude changed 180 degrees.

"Hahahaha! Good morning!"

"Did you sleep well?"

"Thank you, this is truly the best experience I've ever had. It works much better than what I used to eat!"

Look at that face, so full of satisfaction.

Perhaps because his expression had relaxed, he looked at least 10 years younger.

But as they say, too much of anything is worse than not enough. I had to stop the king, whose confidence was fully charged.

"Avoid consuming more than one box per month. It can actually be detrimental to your health."

"It's okay. It's okay. A brave man like me can easily overcome such minor side effects."

"But according to the craftsmen…"

"Okay. Just deliver three boxes a month. No, you said you could store them for a long time anyway? Just give me a year's worth all at once."

It was an atmosphere where it seemed like no matter how hard I tried to persuade him, it wouldn't work.

I made a troubled expression, but Princess Justia just smiled brightly. It probably just means deliver whatever you want. I had no choice but to nod.

"Yes, I will do that."

One pill of Cordyceps sinensis costs twenty gold coins. It was an expensive item, costing a whopping 200 gold per box.

Although it was more expensive than some jewels, the king didn't even ask the price.

Because he was full of determination to buy it no matter how much it cost.

'How much money do i get in a year?'

I sold a one-year subscription to one person and it cost 7,200 gold.

Where else can I find such a high-value-added business that fails so hard?

Moreover, if other nobles also purchased the single ring, they would earn hundreds of thousands of gold.

I traveled all over the West with Princess Justia.

But wherever we went, it was a total hit.

There were already about 40 people who had prepaid for a year's worth.

"It's so popular, it's an unexpected success."

Princess Justia glanced at the ledger and stuck out her tongue. Because the amount written was enough to surprise even the heir to the country.

But I had already anticipated this situation.

"Well, I only stopped by people who were worth living for."

"I didn't know that even noble ladies would buy it."

"It's probably a gift."

She wouldn't understand.

How many noble ladies have returned safely to their families thanks to the Empire's approval?

Wouldn't it be like pulling up someone who was falling into hell?

'At first , it was a token of gratitude, but they will continue to buy it in the future.'

Once you see the effects, you can't stop.

There are no serious side effects to Cordyceps Sinensis Danhwan. The repurchase rate will probably be incredibly high.

Besides, word of mouth will spread among the ladies as well. Now that the original goal has been achieved, it's time to head back.

But then, suddenly, Princess Justia spoke to me in a sly tone.

"Your Highness the Duke."

"Your expression is quite impure. What could be going on?"

"What's wrong with my face?"

"For a moment, it was sinister… No. Let's get to the point. What is it?"

"I'd like to buy just one box of that too."

"Oh, yes. Are you going to use it as a gift? I'll wrap it nicely and send it to you."

"No. Don't you have some left over after selling it?"

"This one?" I showed her the single-ring box I had brought as a sample. Then she nodded with a pleased face.

"Yes."

"The storage box is luxurious, but it needs more packaging when giving it as a gift. I'll wrap it in a furoshiki and give it to you."

"Okay. I need it right now, so give it to me quickly."

"What do you mean?"

Princess Justia handed me a large ruby.

A jewel that is easily worth over 200 gold.

The price is sufficient, but I cannot understand what her intention is.

Tak!

"Huh?"

While I was briefly distracted by Ruby, she was already opening the locker. Cordyceps sinensis pills wrapped in shiny gold foil.

It was completely dried, but it was well-processed so that it didn't crumble.

'It's truly a luxury product.'

If it weren't for me, how would I have upgraded that squishy ring like that? I felt a moment of pride.

But then Princess Justia suddenly started making strange noises.

"Pewpwww!"

A single ring that approaches the corner of the mouth, drawing a winding trajectory. I grabbed her wrist with a puzzled expression.

"Why are you doing this?"

"They say that if you do it like this, it will be well-received."

"If it were regular food, then yes. But this is Cordyceps sinensis pills."

"That's right. If a woman has done this much, then you should understand. Please eat this quickly."

"No, what is that…"

"Eat! Eat! I said EAT!!!"

There was madness in the eyes of the princess who was recklessly drinking the single-ring medicine. Keep the excitement alive on m-vl-em,pyr

An illustration of Sarmatian nomads from around the 4th century BC suddenly came to my mind.

You know how fathers and daughters used to kidnap men they had chosen as potential sons-in-law?

Princess Justia would probably have been more than enough.

'That's why I didn't want to get involved with her!'
