"What?"
'This is impossible.'
Even if I were the wife of a duke, or rather a princess, I must have brought a dowry.
Even if Belle had a daughter out of wedlock, she was known for her extravagance before marriage.
Especially since the Marquis, who cared so much about appearances, showed off a lot.
“So whose money was I shopping for?”
“You were asking Mr.
Kalsen to pay on the account, or you were recording the required amount in the notebook and taking it.”
'This is impossible.'
I thought I was financially independent, but I was a parasite living off Leon entirely.
In a situation where I might have to beg for my life, this was the worst possible.
Now I understood why Kalsen laughed at me when he received a list longer than I was tall.
I didn't understand why he was angry and looked at me disapprovingly when I was shopping with my money, but now I fully understand his behavior.
I rubbed my face several times, feeling anxious.
After thinking for a long time, I made up my mind and left the bedroom.
When I came out, I took firm steps, but with each step, I unintentionally started to move excitedly.
'Wait, not now.
Calm down.
It's not time to indulge yet.'
As I walked down the hallway, I braced myf.
In front of Leon's bedroom, I took a deep breath several times and nodded to the servant standing at the door.
He told the servant about my arrival, Leon's loud voice was heard from inside, and then he opened the door himf.
'Leon, I need money… you'll understand, right?'
Leon did not open the door completely, but rather peeked out half his face, looking at me with a suspicious look.
I opened the door violently and entered.
Leon quickly retreated.
"Leon!
What should I do?"
I covered my face and spoke in a moaning tone, then quickly passed him inside.
I heard Leon's quick steps following me.
“Bill Bill, why does your voice sound like that?
If you eat the dirt from your nose, it's dirty.”
I ignored his interruption, and turned around suddenly.
Leon handed me a tissue.
“Don't eat it, wipe it.”
I ignored his handkerchief and looked at him with pleading eyes.
“Bill Bill borrowed a large sum of money from a friend.
When I was in the capital, I wanted to buy a lot and eat a lot, but I had no money!”
“I have a lot of money!
How much?”
“30 solar”
“It's crazy...”
“Crazy?”
"What?
Belle Belle, you're crazy.
Beautiful.
Your eyes are like emeralds."
“I've heard this a lot.”
“I'll buy you jewels!”
'Leon, don't change the subject, give me the money.'
“Not jewels, give me money.”
“…like age.”
Leon called Calsen in a calm tone different from his usual tone.
Kalsen approached, frowning slightly, and looked at me disapprovingly.
Feeling unable to meet his gaze after witnessing my tear-jerking act, I desperately avoided his eyes.
“I have a lot of money, don't I?”
Calsen nodded and replied hesitantly: “Yes, you have a lot, but the lady has also spent a lot so far.”
'Since I've spent so much, can't you generously give me this time without a sullen expression?
Didn't you see how I tried my best and spoke in a whining tone?'
“Belle Bell needs an allowance to maintain her appearance.”
"What is this?"
'Don't pretend to be ignorant.'
“To be Leon’s wife, I must have some money, and buy what I want to feel psychologically stable...”
“This is hard!”
“It's not difficult.”
'Just give me the money.'
'Don't avoid it by pretending it's difficult.'
Shouldn't I be grateful that I don't interfere in running the family?
“My friend said that her husband gives her 5 dollars a month as allowance to maintain her appearance.”
'Did I exaggerate the amount?'
As I watched Calsen's expression, he said, “Lie, you have no friends, Pill Pill.”
I frowned at his words, and Leon quickly added: “I’m Pill Pill’s friend, Calsen.”
Leon gritted his teeth and called Calsen's name again.
Calsen took a deep breath and spoke: “Madam, we will do our best to settle this debt.
As for the appearance maintenance expense, I will discuss it with the other assistants and we will consider it positively.
Of course, if my master orders it, there will be no need to discuss it.”
Kalsen passed the ball to Leon again.
“Leon?”
Leon stared at Calsen.
'Solve your problem later.'
“Give Bill Bill the money too.
To buy candy and chocolate.”
There was a deep meaning in his words that he would give me just enough for candy and chocolate, and nothing more.
I get that.
“Bill Bell was bad.
In D.C., I felt lonely without Leon, so I went shopping to calm my loneliness and spent all that money.”
“You spent a lot here too.
Hee hee.”
“Hmm...”
'That Belle is not me.
Can you stop?'
I swallowed my words that would not be heard and smiled gently.
“Okay, I'll just rely on Leon and Calsen.”
I went back to my room and hit the pillow on the bed hard several times.
I was so angry and couldn't take it.
"Ah, do I really have to do this?
Bill Bill?
I'll make the money myf even if it's disgusting."
As the debt began to be settled, I wrote a letter of apology to Elizabeth.
Since I understand the language of this world easily, writing was not difficult.
“Can you deliver this message to Calsen?”
Calsen took the letter she wrote and met Elisabeth himf, of course with the money.
Thanks to Leon's generosity, it was decided that I would receive 1 dollar per month as an allowance to maintain the appearance.
I was satisfied, but later I discovered that this amount was much less than what ordinary noblewomen's wives received.
After a little thought, I decided to start making money with this valuable expense.
I tried to remember the events of the novel, but since the story had not begun yet, I could not find any information to make money now.
However, the sacred things that would be valuable in the Great Beast Era were carefully preserved even before the heroine appeared.
I remembered the locations of these things relatively accurately, even though those memories were from Saint Cassia’s explanation to Leon about holy things.
After the idea of making money through sacred things came to me, the anxiety that tormented me was:
‘Is it permissible for me, not Cassia who will become a saint, to search for sacred things?’
But Leon didn't fall in love with Cassia because of the sacred things, so it seemed good to find some first and l them to Leon.
After all, I would give the sacred items that Leon would use directly to him, even if I would literally l them.
Although the era of monsters and destruction is still far from this peaceful life, the idea of sacred things made me realize that I am truly inside the world of the novel.
'The world of the novel...'
I propped my chin and lost myf in thought.
If I hadn't been there, would the story have been one of a hero saving the world instead of a tragic story?
With a touch of romance with the saint?
'Yes, if I hadn't been there...'
I felt sad when I came to this idea.
Is this a fear of entering a world headed toward destruction?
I shook my head vigorously to get rid of this gloomy feeling, but the sad thoughts did not go away easily.
'Just think about making money.
Even if the world was headed toward destruction, wouldn't you need money to prepare?
The closest place with something sacred...'
I hit the table and suddenly got up from the chair.
“I have to go pray at Ruler Tia’s temple.”
The largest temple of Ruler Tia in the north was located here in Aster.
Fortunately, the legendary Holy Sword, Essar, was sleeping there.
The sword that was almost attached to Leon in the second half of the novel.
“What?
Ma’am, all of a sudden?”
Amy and Mary looked at me in surprise, exchanged glances, and asked me.
“What?
Didn’t you know how much of a believer I am?”
