Chapter 13 The Villainess Builds a Department Store The ten francs Uncle Guillaume had given us were worth roughly 100,000 won. It certainly wasn't pocket change, but neither was it enough money to buy something that could fill this enormous room. The children each sighed or frowned as they fell into deep thought. “What can you possibly buy with a measly ten francs?!” Felix grumbled.

Chapter 12 The Villainess Builds a Department Store “How old are you, anyway? You’re about my age, aren’t you? You’re not a little kid anymore, so don’t you think it’s time to stop acting out just because things don’t go your way? How long are you going to keep behaving like this? Other people aren’t trash cans for you to dump your emotions into.” There were people like that sometimes. People who, instead of making a legitimate complaint, acted as though they intended to…

Chapter 12 Baroness Corvas desperately wanted to say, “Wouldn’t it be impossible even if you had any ingredient you wanted, with your level of skill?” but she held her tongue. They had invested far too much into this—her marriage to him, the money they had poured into this perfumery, the many years they had already wasted, pretending to be noble ladies while going around orphanages, and the countless hours they had spent digging holes and burying things. They could not give up…-

Chapter 11 Prim calmly spoke again. “But Rosien, I’ll be back soon after I go.” “……What?” “We said we’re family even when we’re apart, right?” “No! We said we wouldn’t be apart! You promised me. You promised we wouldn’t separate……” Rosien knelt on the ground in front of Prim as he spoke. His desperate, urgent voice made Prim’s heart suddenly drop and ache as though it had been crushed. A sharp pain throbbed through the back of her head, as if…

Chapter 10 — You and I have been through something very important together, after all. You are also proof of my miracle. In other words, my lily of the valley is a sacred relic touched by my power, so it is as if there is a wide-open road between you and me. That is why I can do it with only a little fragrance. ‘……Then.’ Prim tightened her clasped hands. ‘What if I offer more fragrance?’ — Well…… if it is a fragrance you made properly, it is not completely…

Priestess Marcellia had died young from an illness after years of hardship, and the orphans of the orphanage, now without a guardian, had been scattered in all directions.

Chapter 14 The fish market was filled with the salty smell of the sea. Dried fish hung in rows along one side of the wall, while piles of salt were heaped up across the floor. Song Do-hyeon entered, his splendid silk robes fluttering behind him. “Greetings.” “Well, look who it is. Isn’t that Haengsu Song?” The owner of the fish shop, Mr. Jang, jumped to his feet with delight. His face showed a mixture of pleasure and nervousness. “What brings you here?” “What…-

Chapter 13 The next morning. Ha-yoon had been unable to sleep properly since before dawn. The unfamiliar bed, unfamiliar ceiling, and strange noises coming from outside the window had kept her awake all night. ‘Ugh, my first day at work… I don’t want to go.’ Going to work was something she had done countless times in the twenty-first century. But this time, everything was different. “Was this how I was supposed to tie my hair?” Ha-yoon got up and stood in front…

Chapter 12 “This is Man-sang, where you’ll be working from today onward.” Im Sang-ok dismounted from his horse and led Ha-yoon inside. When Ha-yoon looked up, a magnificent building filled her view. “Wow…” The enormous complex, with buildings lined up and connected on both sides of the main hall, was impressive enough to leave her speechless. ‘So this is Man-sang…!’ Seeing the new place where she would be working from now on, Ha-yoon unconsciously swallowed. Shouts…

Chapter 19 ‘Why did I save you? This bastard complains even after being saved? If you’re alive, then just live, you bastard.’ Those were the harsh words his master had thrown at Han Si-woo when he was despairing after losing his family. And his master was a man who belonged to no organization. No matter how many times Han Si-woo had asked him about it, ‘Worry about your own life, you bastard. Don’t bother yourself with how other people live.’ That was all the answer he…-
