Chapter 20 “What is it?” “The merchant just said it, didn’t he? ‘We dug it up together with emeralds while mining near the Abyss.’” “Ah……” Swapp was located at the far eastern edge of the Empire, bordering the land consumed by monsters, the ‘Abyss.’ Because Swapp existed, the Empire could remain safe from the Abyss, but in the eyes of the people of the Empire, Swapp was nothing more than another land of monsters, just like the Abyss. “At auction houses…-

Chapter 19 Until she had solid evidence, she could not confront Count Tompkins. “First, please inform the Merchants’ Association before any greater damage occurs. I think it would be better to proceed with purchasing wheat after most of the triticale circulating in the market has been collected.” “Let’s do that.” Owen seemed like he would leave after giving his answer, but for some reason, he did not leave. Instead, he quietly looked at Pesha. “Why are you looking at me…

Chapter 18 Anyway, Iona eventually displayed her abilities and played a major role, and thanks to her, they were able to overcome the food shortage. As a result, Owen also became grateful and interested in her…… Well, Owen's feelings were one thing. But Pesha couldn't let him get arrested either. His false accusation would soon be cleared up, but if Owen were taken away, she might have to take responsibility for Swape, which would have to survive the winter without food. Iona…

Chapter 17 Iceberg was officially approved as a painkiller in the Swap Estate. After granting the approval, Owen canceled the large order he had placed for Hoban and changed the order to Iceberg instead. “That’s a relief.” Pesha rested her chin on the balcony railing of the castle and looked out at the garden, which was slowly being put in order. The newly hired gardener had been diligently taking notes and eagerly learning whenever she explained in detail how to grow flowers…

Chapter 16 Thinking about it that way, suggesting to Owen that they bring in Iceberg instead of Hoban did not feel like such a burden. After all, speaking to the lord on behalf of the medical staff guarding the patients or the people of the territory was not that difficult. “By the way, what should I do about this?” Just as Pesha was about to fall into thought again, someone knocked on the door. Since it was late, Pesha assumed it was the maid who had come back to retrieve…

Chapter 15 ‘Where is she going?’ The sight of Pesha setting off in a carriage with only one maid somehow looked rushed and suspicious. As soon as Pesha’s carriage left, Jane ran to the stable, mounted a horse, and followed after her. “There’s definitely something going on…!” He adjusted his horse’s speed and followed from a distance as he thought. Could she be trying to leak secrets about our territory to one of the Emperor’s informants? Or does she have some…

Chapter 14 “What is this?” “Water infused with Iceberg.” “Ice… what?” The doctor frowned and asked again. “Iceberg. It’s a precious medicinal herb brought from the North. So hurry up and get rid of those cigarettes and give this to the patients.” The flower was actually a wildflower that grew everywhere in the North, but calling it a precious medicinal herb seemed more likely to make people trust it. As expected, however, the doctor still looked doubtful despite…

Chapter 13 When Pesha let out the words with a sigh, Sally tilted her head as she patted her back. “Hm? What did you say?” “Nothing. I-I think I’ll go outside for a bit. My eyes are stinging…” “Of course. Oh, Doctor! I’ll help you!” While Sally went to help with the work, Pesha hurried out of the raccoon den. She had only been inside for a short while, but the smoke smell was already clinging strongly to her neat clothes and neatly braided silver hair. She…

Chapter 12 A lord's main source of income was usually the taxes collected from the people living in his territory. But the situation was a little different in Swaph, the polluted land. Because the land was contaminated, there was hardly any farmland, and the constant attacks by monsters made hunting difficult. There were no special local products to speak of either, so there was simply no money to collect from the already-empty pockets of the people. Perhaps she should even be…

Chapter 11 Owen's ice-cold voice fell sharply upon the butler. “Any objections?” As he spoke, he pressed his foot down even harder on the butler's hand. “Ahh! None, none!” When the butler surrendered, Owen kicked his hand away as if he had nothing more to say to him. The butler curled up like a pill bug, trembling as he clutched his injured hand. Pesha shook her head as she watched him. Serves you right for betraying someone who trusted you. Thinking that, she…
