CH 77

Damon and Arsene were heading somewhere with something precious in their arms.

The employees who found the children walking side by side, had a mother’s smile.

Until a year ago, when the two children showed up, the employees were scared and would sneak away, but now they don’t have to do that anymore.

‘They said that Her Highness’s spirit taught them how to control her power.’

Damon and Arsene no longer curled up for fear they might hurt someone.

“Oh my, Young master. Where are you going?”

When they spoke to each other affectionately, the two answered proudly as if they were waiting for someone to ask.

“Lady Frey was busy, so I wrote a card.”

“Cookie too!”

Damon and Arsene peeked at the presents they had prepared for Frey, who had been overworked for weeks, then hid it in their arms.

It meant that they would not give gifts to anyone other than Frey.

The employees burst into laughter again as they looked at the two dainty faces.

“Her Highness will be very happy with the card and cookies.”

“Yes!”

“Right?”

The two laughed and moved on again.

The employees felt a warm feeling when they saw the two children carrying snacks to Frey’s office every day.

“How can they be so kind? I guess it’s because they grew up watching the Grand Duchess?”

“Since Lady Frey stopped by the boys’ rooms every single day even while overworked, it’s only natural that the boys are attached to her.”

Apparently, when the grand duke first picked up the abandoned children, the whole castle felt like it was creaking.

Employees recalled that Frey was acting as a lubricant.

But it wasn’t just an attachment that made Damon and Arsene go to Frey’s office every day.

“Arsene. Doesn’t Lady Frey still have a different color when she talks to the duke?”

“Yes.”

“Oh my God…”

The two children pouted and sighed.

Clearly, Daniel and Frey, despite being together for a long time, did not exude the same color airflow.

“She has many colors.”

“Does Frey hate us?”

“It’s not a sour color.”

While staying at the castle, Damon and Arsene realized something while watching the numerous employees.

When a man and a woman look at each other, if the colors of the air currents that sway are different, it means that they will soon be separated.

Usually, one side leave far away.

“Frey, you can’t leave!”

“Really!”

The two of them arrived at the office at the same time.

Tok-tok!

“Give me the password. What does Frey value most?”

“peace!”

“Ding dong deng Correct!”

Frey opened the door to the children, even making loud sound effects. As soon as they saw her, Damon and Arsene brightened up.

“Frey!”

“Cookies and cards.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Frey smiled and accepted the lovely gifts from the children.

Frey was already in a bad condition because It’s already been over 20 days since Frey was processing the rose quartz to be attached to the Sacred Tower, but she couldn’t show it.

“Thanks, would you like to eat cookies together?”

“Yes!”

Frey knew that the team she was working with was hoping for a break from the two kids.

“Shall we take a break?”

“I will die…”

Employees quietly delivered snacks for others who were overworked.

Frey took the children to her desk, which she always kept clean, and ate a snack with them.

“Damon, Arsene. What are you doing?”

“Ummm, nothing.”

“By the way, Daniel is worried about you.”

“Thank you for telling me instead. But I talk to Daniel whenever I need to, and I prefer working here now. What I want is here.”

Frey simply spoke of the circumstances of an adult that she had to safely take over the Vliette Merchant.

‘But why do the two children look like they are carefully checking the men in the office?’

* * *

“There is less than a week left before the date we promised Karuna.”

Lina looked at the calendar and said.

Bien and Norma, who were drinking strong black tea as a potion next to her, also stretched.

“I know. I’m glad I almost finished the work on time. It was hard when I started.”

“Master Wiz was very happy when he said that now all he had to do was watch the young children practice their abilities, right?”

In order to build 50 sacred towers within a month, there were many incidental things to do.

Craftsman was called in to design the body of the sacred tower, and sculptors had to be hired to carve large rocks into beautiful shapes.

The work of selecting high-quality rocks that can last for a long time in the rain and wind, and the work of transporting them from the mining site to the workplace.

During the three weeks, the work stormed like a storm. But looking back, it was well worth it, and Frey felt proud.

“I was so proud to see 50 stone pillars lined up in the garden, which will be the body of the sacred tower.”

“Right? Thinking that it will be sent to all parts of the empire and fulfill their role my shoulders tense for no reason.”

“Isn’t it so beautiful after making it all? Any special assignment like this is I always welcome.”

Vikram, half-asleep on his desk, eavesdropped on the conversation and sent chills down her spine.

‘Welcome? You’re welcome?!’

When it came to putting his body into research or work, Vikram was more confident than anyone else.

Since he did not win the position of the youngest elder in the Magic Tower by winning a lottery, he was objectively recognized as competent.

Furthermore, the sacred tower was the top concern these days, so Vikram did his best this time too.

‘But how do those people not get tired?’

Vikram said that additional overtime work was welcome, and he was a little scared of the three people who were talking about it.

No, everyone who teamed up with Frey to build the divine Tower was not normal.

‘But after all, the one that seems the least human is over there.’

Vikram glanced at the closed door. 

Frey almost lived in that room.

‘I don’t know the details, but it seems that in order to contain divine power in rose quartz, it must be processed through divine power and magical power, but she did even that alone to keep the secret.’

Most of the superior magic was conceded to the production of the body of the Sacred Tower.

‘Everyone is strong. At this rate, I can’t even be able to get performance-based pay.’

Vikram was devastated at the thought of the performance pay that had been blown away.

But not as much as Frey, who was left alone in the room.

‘It’s really bad…’

Frey looked at her face reflected in 50 pieces of rose quartz the size of a human head.

Frey tried to pretend she was okay in front of the children, but it seemed like the dark circles had already stretched to the corners of her eyes. Her vitality had long since disappeared, and there was no more magic or divine power to wring out.

‘I knew the schedule was tight, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.’

While others designed and built the body of the tower, Frey took on the most important task.

The most important task of processing rose quartz in a special way and containing the divine power.

However, now that about 35 pieces of rose quartz contained divine power, Frey’s exhaustion kept stirring up miscellaneous thoughts.

‘If I die from overwork like this, am I going to be possessed by another romance, or I Will return…?’

It was around the time she was about to lose her mind.

“Frey. I’ll go in.”

Daniel’s voice came through the door.

Frey, who was trying to open the door by staggering, stumbled.

‘If I hit my head on the corner of the desk like this, I will really be reincarnated… hmm?’

However, Frey didn’t feel anything like a hard corner, only the warm and wide arms of the man.

“Frey.”

Daniel’s expression hardened strangely as he quickly opened the door and accepted Frey as she was about to fall.

Frey was obviously quite exhausted. In this situation, Daniel thinks it’s too much to be in the office.

‘I see why Damon and Arsene told Frey to go.’

Daniel took Frey, he was holding onto the sofa, and sat her down.

Then, he handed out a potion for energy recovery that he ordered his doctor to prepare specially.

“I don’t know how it compares to the unusual tea you drink, but it’s better than not drinking it.”

“Thank you, Daniel.”

“I think you are working too hard.”

Frey carefully drank the potion he offered. I immediately recovered from the exhaustion and felt emotional at the same time.

[“Tsk tsk tsk. What kind of part-time job is that? Don’t overdo it and live the way you want, kid.”]

[“Self-management is also a skill… Right, Mom?”]

There was a time when Frey had no choice but to work part-time while preparing for the employment test. It was because Frey thought that her cousins, who were busy treating Frey like a piece of baggage and putting her down, would not lend her money for her studies.

But even though he said don’t overdo it, what Daniel was saying had a completely different meaning.

“There must be something I can do to help, Frey. Anything you can ask me to do, please.”

He threw out the words not to overdo it and did not laugh at herself for being exhausted. Rather, Daniel was upset that Frey was trying to do it by herself without asking for anything.

“I wish I could help you.”

‘In my past life, I think I lived without knowing that worry could be kind, but now someone is willing to help me.’

Frey smiled and rested her head on his shoulder. Her body, which did not stagger or slide even when she put her weight on it, felt reassured.

“Then let me ask you a favor, Daniel. You can transfer the father’s divine power contained in the divine power scroll to rose quartz.”

Daniel was obviously just asked for it, but somehow his heart was filled with pride because Frey acknowledges his usefulness.

Daniel unknowingly smiled.

“I will. Wait a little longer.”

“Thank you.”

‘It felt like my heart vibrated as Frey glanced into my eyes and said thank you.’

He slowly reached out and patted Frey on the shoulder.

“Well, by the way, I’ve had some discussions with Baron Holt since you didn’t want to enlist my help with the Top Vliette management.”

“Discussion?”

“Baron Holt would sell some of his stakes to me since I told him how to bring huge profits to the guild.”

A huge profit

Frey, who was leaning lazily and listening to what Daniel said, opened her eyes wide.

‘That is the way…?’
