Chapter 30 However, it seemed that Io did not notice the faint upward curve at the corner of Pesha's lips. “Don't say such ridiculous things. The purification power that can be produced with herbs is extremely weak. Besides, you can't even use purification power, let alone ordinary magic. You're just an ordinary person!” Io's angry shout caused a commotion inside the banquet hall. Looking around at the unsettled people, Pesha spoke with a smile. “Whether it works or not will be…-

Chapter 29 Marquis Clark approached while calling out to Io, but stopped short when he spotted Pesha and Owen. “Oh, Countess Namoi. What brings you here? This is a place you cannot enter without an invitation.” His tone sounded strangely similar to his daughter’s, as if he naturally assumed that Pesha could not possibly have been invited. Annoyed, Pesha gave a short reply. “I was invited.” Marquis Clark looked surprised. “The invitation went all the way to the Namoi…

Chapter 28 Things were going almost too well. Well, it was only natural. Io had delicate and neat features, along with a gentle atmosphere. She was exactly the type who could easily pass as the perfect eldest daughter-in-law. Other than the fact that Owen was from Namoiy, there was nothing to find fault with when it came to his looks and achievements. So it did not seem strange at all that the two of them had fallen for each other at first sight. It even seemed quite…

Chapter 27 After the duke left, Pesha thought Owen might at least say something about the party, but he said nothing. Not only that, he even looked peaceful, perhaps because the troublesome matter had been resolved. Pesha was conflicted. ‘Is he really okay? Shouldn't I refuse even now?’ As far as she knew, the last time Owen had attended a party held in the capital was the very party where she had openly rejected his engagement. ‘Wouldn't anyone who went through something…

Chapter 26 “Even though the Empire has won the war against the monsters, that victory still feels like a distant story to the people living near the Abyss. Too many people are still losing their lives because of monsters. As you well know, monster aura is especially deadly to the elderly, the weak, and children. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, it leaves lasting aftereffects on their bodies for the rest of their lives.” Pesha looked at Duke Pontloy’s right leg. That limping…

Chapter 25 “Owen……?” The employee, who had been about to frown and treat them as troublesome customers, opened his eyes wide when he suddenly heard Owen’s name. “Count Namoi? Wh-who? This man?” Owen, who had suddenly been thrown out as bait, looked bewildered, while the employee stammered in disbelief. Meanwhile, Pesha casually shrugged her shoulders and said, “Yes. We came because of a business matter related to the East.” The employee, who had been flustered…

Chapter 24 “But the people who need that potion are only the people in the East, aren’t they? People from other regions don’t need such a potion.” “……” “Gathering and transporting medicinal herbs costs more money and is more troublesome than you might think.” “What are you trying to say?” “I’m saying that since this potion is only useful in the East, we also need to consider whether it will be profitable for us.” At those words, Pesha frowned. Yes,…

Chapter 23 “Go?” “I’m going to the capital too so I can negotiate with the Woods Merchant Guild.” Owen raised one eyebrow. He looked like he did not like the idea. “The journey to the capital will be difficult. You’ll be tired and exhausted.” “Even so, I want to go. I know Marquis Clark personally. He’s the father of Io Clark, my friend. I’ve met him several times, so it should be easier to talk to him.” Pesha spoke in a confident tone. It seemed like ordinary…

Chapter 22 Owen got off his horse and handed the reins to the stableman. During the week he had spent inspecting the area, he had lived almost like a homeless man at the border, checking the fortresses and walls and reducing the growing number of monsters. Since it was a place where a battle could break out at any moment, he had no choice but to remain extremely alert day and night. After staying on constant alert and finally arriving back at the castle, he felt as though he could…

Chapter 21 “I have seen more people corrupted by aura than anyone else. For a critical patient in that condition, there is nothing any purification mage can do.” “Why are you suddenly telling me that…?” He glanced at Pesha’s empty glass bottle before continuing. “If I had used my method, that man would have died while remembering nothing but pain. But thanks to you stepping in, at least he will be able to spend his final moments with his family without pain.” Pesha…
