‘Customers would be happy to drop the down payment if I told them there was a privilege if they remanufactured clothes through the Holt Merchant.’

Madame Siren gulped and read the last part of Frey’s letter over and over again.

[If you want, please tell me that you will attach the Rose Quartz filled with divine power to the new clothes you make through the upper house of Holt. Don’t worry, the color of the jewel can be changed with the magic of the Grand Duke.]

It’s a garment imbued with divine power.

It is clear that they will try to buy each other even if they give more money.

‘Because the nobles who have quick information are still anxious about the Count Vliette family’s entanglement with the Fog of Fall.’

But what if you buy clothes with divine power?

In front of the Emperor, she could draw a line by implying that she had nothing to do with the fog of Fall Mist. If she touches the fog of Fall, an abnormal reaction will occur as soon as she wears clothes filled with divine power.

In particular, nobles who had a deep relationship with Count Vliette will scramble to find it.

‘When I read the first part of the letter, I thought she was simply making substitutes.’

It wasn’t just clothing if the Grand Duchess could process and adorn it with jewels containing divine power.

Even considering the penalty, there was enough reason to place a new order.

“Indeed, Her Highness, the Grand Duchess, knows the fashion needs of the capital’s society.”

Madame Siren said in admiration. In fact, she was worried that the atrocities of Count Bluett’s funeral would disadvantage her.

As soon as the atrocities became known to the world, she didn’t like the Top of Vliette, who sent someone to the clothing store to threaten her.

[“Madame Siren. No matter how much you say you made a mistake, this floor is narrow, so it’s better to continue what you’re doing.”]

[“But the Fog of Fall is a bit too much of a mistake…”]

[“So, aren’t you going to wrap up the social season? Customers will be very disappointed.”]

She had been awake for days at the thought of working with an employer who insisted that her poisoning with the fog of Fall Mist was a mistake.

However, the generous VIP customer allowed her to change to Holt, so there was no reason not to.

“It’s a proposal from Frey, so there’s nothing to consider. Leave it to me to reach out to customers and convince them.”

The calculator in Madame Siren’s head ran quickly.

Few issues in the Empire were as sensitive as the Fog of Fall.

Things should be easy these days when the Prince, the empress, and even Gelon are trying to subtly reveal their sincerity and innocence.

“I won’t be able to break all the deals, but I think about 80 percent of my customers will covet the Rose Quartz, which contains divine power.”

“Surely it will. It will be worth investing in if it is a garment imbued with divine power.”

“Isn’t it true that there are workers ready to meet the date at the top of Holt?”

“Sure. Her Highness, the Grand Duchess, was most concerned about that when making plans.”

“Then I’ll inform the top of the Vliette that I’m quitting.”

Everyone, including Bien and Norma, seemed to give their strength as time seemed to be running out.

“I will attach an escort to you, so please come back in peace.”

“You won’t regret accepting the Highness’ proposal.”

Madame Siren instinctively noticed that the two employees held Frey in high regard.

If so, it’s time to actively demonstrate the sales skills she learned from dealing with picky customers over the years.

“It is an honor. It reminds me of the first time I made a dress for Her Highness the Grand Duchess. It was the first time I saw you.”

“Oh. Even then, Her Highness must have stood out the most among her peers?”

“Sure. She was around seven years old, but from then on, her eyes were so intelligent… and told me that she was satisfied with the dress I designed, and that also told me about her favorite dessert shop.”

“Lady Frey’s favorite dessert shop? Where is it?”

As expected, the Grand Duke’s employees listened to her story with great interest.

It took just 10 days for the designers who moved after receiving my proposal to send their design sketches to Holt.

‘I thought it would take at least three weeks.’

It seems that everyone, including Bien and Norma, gave their strength as time seems to be running out.

Frey knew it would have a significant ripple effect because it was related to the fog of Fall, but she never thought things would work out like this.

Of course, it was Daniel who helped her the most.

Even though there must have been a lot of things to worry about, such as the raid of the undead monsters, Daniel opened and closed the gate without showing any sign of displeasure.

He mobilized Prause’s intelligence department and leaked the clothing store was related to the Vliette Merchant.

Thanks to this, about 85% of the clothing production requests in charge of the clothing store belonging to the Vliette Merchant Merchant were canceled.

‘I heard that quite a few people have put new requests on our side while maintaining the existing deals.’

So, most of the demand for the social season part has been received.

In the process, Frey also found out that the Top of Vliette was intimidating the designers not to leave the job out of urgency.

‘If I hadn’t said that, a few designers would have remained loyal.’

Thanks to that, she was fortunate to be able to use the customer networks and designs of famous designers.

“Lady Frey, the carriage is ready.”

“Thank you, Lina. Was the Rose Quartz transported well?”

“Yes my Lady, reports have come in that it arrived safely at the clothing store street in the central shopping district.”

“I’m glad I didn’t get lost in the middle.”

Because it was overworked daily, Frey didn’t have the confidence to reprocess that much Rose Quartz and then fill it with divine power.

She headed for the carriage where Daniel was waiting.

Today is the day they regularly visit the Central Shopping Center. It would be nice to follow him, discuss the night market with the merchants, and see his face reflected in the dressing room.

‘Since I have to receive the support of the merchants, I have no choice but to act like a politician during the election season.’

As they approached the central shopping district, Jakov greeted us with a friendly attitude.

After they exchanged greetings.

He explained the results of the night market with a pleased face.

“Thanks to the Sacred Tower, interest in the central shopping district of Prause estate has grown.”

“Really?”

“It is natural. Right now, only the central shopping district is protected by the Sacred Tower, but as a merchant, you can predict that the entire Prause will be safe in the future.”

This is asking for more sacred towers to be installed. But Frey didn’t feel bad because they evaluated my work well.

“It’s all in my heart to help the Prause estate and the merchants.”

“They complained so much about how they couldn’t even open stalls when they said the empty shopping malls were full.”

It was not yet the time to evaluate that Prause has emerged as a tourist destination.

However, it was nice to hear that the lodging industry is booming as people interested in investing come and occasionally go to preoccupy the place.

“It is fortunate that the central shopping district seems to be gradually regaining vitality.”

“Thanks to Her Highness, the Grand Duchess, who cares for everyone day and night. When funds are raised, we will also consider the cultural space you mentioned.”

“If there is a theater, it will be perfect. I will help wherever I can.”

After divorcing Daniel, they will continue to be business partners with Jakov.

When Frey said this, Jakov and the merchants were very moved.

“This is so…I would not dare to imitate Her Highness’ great love.”

Great love?

It was a questionable expression, but she loved making money and decided to move on.

“The clothing store is gathered here.”

“Thank you. I will slowly look around.”

Every alley in Prause’s shopping district had similar types of businesses.

Only flies flew here when the capital’s clothing store was in full swing.

It was probably because the latest fashion revolved around the capital, so the nobles of the Grand Duchy also placed orders in the capital.

‘There is a lot of work to do in the capital city, so designers and assistants are dying, and flies are flying here.’

Frey thought it would be perfect for mixing half and half, but it was easier than she thought.

A famous designer in the Capital designs clothes serves customers and takes measurements.

Prause’s skilled seamstresses are in charge of the production.

‘Currently, designers need to open the gate for designers to move quickly, but if there is a direct gate to the north and the capital in the future, the collaboration will be easier.’

The people in charge of Prause’s clothing stores were so thankful they had plenty of work even in the off-season.

Daniel also thanked her.

“Thanks to my Wife, the clothing store is booming even before the social season. Everyone covets the Rose Quartz, which contains divine power.”

“Thanks to Daniel’s help. A direct gate to the capital should be opened in the north before I leave.”

“…”

As Frey whispered, he made a dissatisfied face for some reason.

‘At the time of marriage, I said it as if the gate could be made soon, but just now, I said it as if it was a distant future.’

Frey slowly turned around.

“Anyway, looking at this scenery, I can feel the social season is just around the corner.”

Frey bit her lips to avoid showing her expectations.

There is only one thing she looks forward to in this social season as she has decided to throw away her worldly desires!

‘Damon and Arsene would be adorable if they wore custom suits, right?’

They are twins, so if they wear a custom-made twin, they will look lovely and lively. Since it was the first time introducing the two to the social world of the capital, Frey wanted to dress them in the most suitable clothes.

‘My kids will look great in whatever they wear.’

As Frey looked at him with a throbbing face, Daniel insinuatingly asked if she was thinking the same thing.

“By the way…I think Prause will have to ask for clothes to be made soon.”

“I think so too. I want it to be custom-made so that anyone can see that it is unique in the world.”

Then, unlike before, he smiled and was satisfied like an innocent boy.

“Then I’ll do that.”
