I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 89

#When it returned, the family was ruined (90)

“This is my first time seeing it in real life.”

“…I didn’t know you would visit me in person.”

“haha. “The Archduke has become a duke. Shouldn’t he personally congratulate him?”

“You can speak comfortably as before.”

Marquis Bloten.

He was one of the nobles who deserved respect, starting with his age and his actions.

“Is that okay?”

“of course. Please sit down.”

The Marquis sat down.

After handing over the car.

I looked at him.

“Is it okay if I visit here in person?”

“haha. What is the problem? Is it known that our relationship is close? Anyway, everyone knows this, starting with the 7 kingdoms and even Your Majesty. That’s why the checks on the seven families have become more fierce recently.”

That was why Bloten came to visit in person.

As the Archduke was elevated to the rank of Duke.

Because it was more advantageous to reveal the alliance publicly than to hide it any longer.

The duke and marquis were already inseparable.

Bloten said with a grin.

“You have been inaugurated as a duke, but it would be difficult to miss out on a congratulatory gift. Is there anything you want? “I will do my best to listen to you as best as I can.”

“It’s a bit big. “Is that okay?”

“When you say that, I start to get scared.”

Contrary to his words, the Marquis’ eyes were sparkling. Recently, the latter had been earning a huge amount of money through Forforence, which Ethan had introduced.

Kingdom Blacksmith.

That’s what it meant to combine the position of overseeing the kingdom’s best-produced products with a wide distribution network.

“Please take this first.”

“This is…”

“This is the recipe for the third and fourth items.”

“Are you giving me both at the same time?”

“Aren’t the marquis and the duke now completely one? “We will need more products to spread our wings in keeping the seven kingdoms in check.”

“…Thank you. “I will put it to good use.”

I wanted to hand over recipes for various items, but that was impossible.

This is because Ethan only remembered a few recipes well enough to understand them one by one.

For most items, we only knew about their efficacy and a few key ingredients.

That was precisely why I entrusted the restoration of the items to Ilya.

The Marquis asked with bright eyes.

“Now tell me the truth. “What do you want?”

“Do you have a trading network with the Kingdom of Ameria?”

“There is.”

“I want Menelian alloy. “I think it would be enough to make a great sword.”

“It’s an alloy…”

The Marquis, who was pondering, immediately said.

“I guess it’s for your sword?”

“yes. White flames are blooming, and the sword is slowly not able to withstand the fire.”

Blothen’s face hardened. Although the archduke was promoted to head of the family, it was not yet complete.

Because the Three Dukes’ right to challenge remained.

What if there is no weapon to withstand the white flame when the Three Dukes use the challenge?

If you are not careful, the family head may change.

As a marquis who had already chosen the Duke of Ardan and had fallen out with the 7th House of the Kingdom, he had no choice but to support Ethan unconditionally.

‘okay. A sword that can withstand white flames must be made of Menelian alloy.’

The Marquis nodded.

“I will save you in the near future. Even if you make a reservation.”

Ethan was secretly surprised by those words.

The alloy came up for auction at most three times a year.

If you’re unlucky, there are times when it never comes up for auction.

If there is no stock, you cannot purchase it at all.

A rare alloy.

The Dwarven Kingdom had one more system besides auctions to sell this amount.

It was a reservation system.

If you pay double the amount of the last successful auction price as an advance payment.

It was a system that ensured that goods were supplied within the deadline, even if it meant squeezing out non-existent quantities.

If the product was not received within the deadline, they would refund ten times the amount, so I was confident that I would be able to receive 100% of the quantity if I used the reservation system.

However, the price was the problem.

‘The market price of alloy is between eight thousand and ten thousand platinum coins.’

Recently, the last successful bid was for 10,000 platinum coins.

Marquis Bloten was confirming that he would win the bid for the alloy even if it meant spending 20,000 platinum coins.

Ethan immediately shook his head.

“I’m fine. Even if you find out when the next auction will be held and take action…”

“No. Aren’t you and I already one body? I think I need to get the alloy quickly, even if it means going through a bit of trouble. “If you fall, you won’t be safe just because you are the Marquis.”

‘…That’s so hot.’

but.

The marquis was a family that donated all of their family wealth during the Dragon Clan War. If you think about the fact that the head of the family at that time was Bloten.

It was easy to guess where this bold decision would come from.

Because there was already a precedent.

Of course, the Marquis did not really speak out willingly.

Although he was trying to show that he was okay, Ethan could already feel the damp cold sweat running down his back.

‘…It’s a winning bet.’

It was difficult for the Marquis of Bessus to attract 20,000 platinum coins with only his financial resources. They will probably act by selling some of the top units or taking out loans.

“I will just accept your heart. At least you don’t have to do that right now. Theron won’t exercise his right to challenge right away either. How about this?”

“What are you talking about?”

“6 months. “If the alloy doesn’t come up for auction by then, wouldn’t it be a good idea to utilize the reservation system?”

“…Hmm.”

Even though they are united in good faith, if the relationship is one-sided, it is bound to fall apart.

Rather than forcefully moving the Marquis, it would have been better to wait for the next auction.

“…I guess so. However, if you want, I will make a reservation for you, so just let me know at any time. Never feel pressured. “I’m also making an investment.”

Marquis Bloten.

He was truly a passionate nobleman.

I couldn’t help but feel grateful for his words.

The Marquis must have decided to purchase the alloy, even if it meant making a reservation, based on his future self rather than his present.

“Have you had dinner?”

“I haven’t eaten yet.”

“Let’s eat first and then talk.”

Ethan led the Marquis.

* * *

In front of the banquet hall.

The Marquis’ eyes lit up as he shook hands with Elena, who was already out.

‘…huh?’

Immediately the marquis opened his eyes wide and asked.

“Grand Duchess. “There is one thing I would like to ask.”

“Please tell me.”

“Speaking of that bracelet… is it an item you purchased from a separate place?”

“no. “I made it separately, but…” “

…Are you saying this is an item made by the Grand Duchess herself?”

“…yes. “Are you sure it’s not that good?”

Not so good?

No, the problem was that it was too good. Even though the bracelet on her hand is made up of inexpensive jewels that are not very valuable.

Because my eyes were instantly taken away from the numerous ornaments I had seen.

‘oh my god.’

A bracelet with a flowing wave pattern.

The Marquis had a hunch.

That bracelet would definitely cost a lot of money.

‘If there is a rumor that it is an item made by Ardan’s eldest daughter…’

Ardan.

Although it may have declined compared to the past, its reputation as the best swordsmanship in the West Continent has not gone anywhere.

No doubt, nobles who are seduced by Ardan’s name will appear at random.

Not only in the Heidern Kingdom, but also in other kingdoms and even the Zeno Empire. The Marquis’ heart beat rapidly. The scent of gold was literally emanating from the Grand Duchess.

It also has a scent similar to that of a peacock.

gulp.

The Marquis swallowed his saliva and asked.

“Ah, that’s absolutely not the case. I did it because I was surprised. “The only reason I asked was because I was wondering if there might be a talented designer in the capital that I don’t know about.”

“…yes?”

“If there is such a designer, we need to recruit him as soon as possible.”

Elena’s face became confused.

Because I heard something completely unexpected.

“…Does it really look that good?”

“exactly. Other than sincerity. “Do you have a design draft like this?”

“There are quite a few pictures, but…”

The Marquis’ eyes lit up.

“…Can I take a look? no! Please let me see it. “Please ask me to come here.”

“That…”

Elena’s eyes naturally turned to Ethan. Ethan was now staring at the two people.

‘Did your sister have that talent?’

If you think about it, Elena in her past life was a girl from a prestigious family who led the trends in society.

Drawing designs for clothes or accessories herself and submitting requests for production were an everyday occurrence for her.

If you consider the talents of your past life.

It was no wonder the Marquis’ eyes sparkled like that.

Elena’s design had spread beyond the Kingdom of Heidern to the Six Kingdoms and the Zeno Empire.

“Do whatever you want, sister.”

Elena.

It was a family that worked hard for them for over ten years.

As such, I planned to spend the rest of my life helping her as much as possible so that she could live the life she wanted.

I don’t do anything I don’t want to do.

So that you can do everything you want to do.

“…then. “Can I come over?”

“of course.”

Soon, Elena stood in front of the Marquis holding a thick book.

“These are my paintings….”

“I’ll take a look at them in a moment.”

Saruk.

Every time the bookshelf turns over.

The Marquis’s eyes were becoming more and more wide open. Each design was truly fresh and old-fashioned.

The Marquis asked with bright eyes.

“Are these items related to the tea ceremony?”

“…yes. I looked around and couldn’t find a place that sells these items. “That’s why I drew it.”

“…Amazing. “It is truly amazing.”

The Marquis, who looked from the first page to the last page without even being able to breathe, looked urgently at Ethan.

“Huh… How on earth did the duke family become a family?… Not only did they possess a genius in swordsmanship, but they also possessed a genius in art.”

“Is it that much?”

“of course! A talent like an awl is bound to come through the sleeve. Be sure to check out the grand duchess’s design! I really want to try using it. “If you utilize these, reserving metal won’t be such a burden!”

There were more than one or two paintings of the Grand Duchess.

There are over a hundred designs.

What if the family’s artisans and the Grand Duchess’ groundbreaking designs came together?

‘It can generate massive cash flow!’

In that case, the archduke would be able to reserve the metal he wanted without too much of a burden than expected.

Products with Elena’s designs will definitely sell like hot cakes.

“Will you allow it? These products would be such a waste to be locked up in paper like this! It will definitely be able to lead the trend on the continent!”

The Marquis was so excited that he forgot all about his body and was spitting out words.

“I’m going to hand you the best contract I can. Please allow it! “At least for your new sword!”

The Marquis’ eyes were completely sincere.

Behind him, Elena was looking at Ethan restlessly.

“How is your sister?”

“…huh?”

“I want to?”

“Well… I still have a lot of work to do…”

Contrary to what she said, her eyes were sparkling. Just by looking at it, it was a face that made me want to do it.

Ethan smiled and looked at the contract.

“The conditions are not bad.”

“There will be no contract like this anywhere else in the world.”
