Khalif looked at Elena, as staring at hiht that further advice was less
“If you want to do it, do it alone Then there’s no proble to do I have a proet a diploma”
There was a real reason, but Elena ot up fro that further conversation was less
“I’m sorry, but I need a diploe your er connections than you think”
“Oh, really?”
Khalif laughed sarcastically
“You’ll be surprised when you hear it”
“Ah! Because it’s so terrible? My junior, here’s your award You can get started with the nobles who live in a very high place, in other words, the people who don’t have enough money to rot”
“I know I know thenificant Khalif was also a little annoyed because he still didn’t see
“Really? I’reat you are You reat dukes A servant? Or a horseood ireat dukes?”
“Hey!”
The impatient Khalif shouted Theinvolved with Elena
“Just do it You don’t know the end of it”
“But I’m serious? If the Grand Duke were a first-time customer, wouldn’t I have a firm foothold?”
“What? G-Grand Duke?”
Khalif stareat for him to say
“Princess Veronica and I have a special relationshi+p”
“Is that true? If you’re lying…”
“Your Highness told me that she only wanted to deal with the art dealer she was introduced to”
Khalif hesitated, not knowing how to take that word He heard rumors that Princess Veronica returned to school, but he didn’t expect her to be in a special relationshi+p with the inco freshman No, apart from that, he couldn’t decide how far to believe that story
“I got it as a gift frohness Would you believe it if you saw it?”

“That’s what it is”
“It’s different It’s just that it’s not worth the attention of the art world yet, but it’s not that they can’t paint”
Khalif felt soely persuaded
“The value of art is ulti price The artist’s life would be worth living if he heard that it was collected by Princess Veronica, not anyone else”
“That’s true”
“When the artist’s reputation rises, the value of his work increases It seeo up, so she won’t lose anything”
“… That sounds like it, but it’s strangely convincing”
Elena didn’t say anything wrong It’s just that Khalif doesn’t know about the contradictions in the art world
‘That’s ridiculous With the sa, even if you draw the same portrait, some people are called masters, while some people are street painters all their lives and end their lives as painters’
