“Whoooo…”
Milton sighed exhaustedly in his roo ladies he had to dance with And as for his disappointment in the ladies who had tried their best to initiate bodily contact with every dance…
“That was great What a catch”
Nope, there was no such disappointment It’s not like he’s a hero in a romance novel who considers all fe How could Milton not like his popularity with the wole? With a clenched fist, Milton recalled all the young ladies he had erated and a scam, they were still quite beautiful”
Looks-wise, the aristocratic young ladies were all above average This was because, in most cases, theladies all had a genetic advantage Not to mention, the aristocratic ladies all paid attention to their faces and took special care, unlike the coe important, but the beauty of the person was equally i ladies often dreaht with their beauty andthem Of course, the man in their dreams is handsome, powerful, and above all, only loves her They were basically i a Cinderella story where they were the main character, but it’s not like it never happens There have been cases where the young lady wields her beauty as a weapon and marries way above her station So it’s natural for thee beauty
‘Well, there’s no one as beautiful as the Charlotte Merchant Company’s head But then, her beauty wasn’t that of a human but that of a fox spirit”
Anyways, in Milton’s life, no, not even in Park Moonsoo’s life, he has never been this popular with beautiful ladies before How could Milton not enjoy the peak of his life when it ca with them one-on-one tomorrow? The first person should be…”
Milton smiled happily as he recalled the shortlist of candidates in his mind
The day after the banquet
Instead of returning to their own territories, many of the nobles continued to stay in the Forrest Territory All of thehters In order to hter to Milton, the nobles spared no effort Thanks to that, Milton was able to s, Milton carefully considered which of those ladies would be decent enough to marry And so, ten days passed
“They all kinda suck”
Milton sighed afterto be picky He thought it’d be easy to pick a suitable wife since there were so many candidates But once he had hts disappeared
‘I want to tell the people in Korea who call woers to come and live here’
This was a completely different level They all pretended to be modest at the banquet hall, but it was all a lie Is it because they think that since Milton was s for them? They quickly showed their true colors
One woman subtly hinted that she didn’t want to spend her entire life in the country, so they should quickly ht she was better since her family was more traditional
But the worst one was the woman Milton had ant she was Themaid accidentally broke the plate and dirtied her dress She i maid across the face in front of Milton
Then calmly spoke…
[Since there is no Lady in the house, the servants naturally have no respect Do not worry, My Lord, I will correct that]
Full of pride as though her actions had been correct
“Truly eye-opening She’s vain but doesn’t have basic manners That’s what it is”
No et le
“I can’t help it It’s not that I’ to hie for the tiuest has co anyone today?”
After dealing with vain aristocratic young ladies, Milton had wanted to forget about everything and just take a break
“That is… Young Lady Philinover says she really wants to see you, My Lord”
“damn it…”
Milton couldn’t help but curse He was tired and annoyed, and now there was a wo her way in…
“Tell her I’m tired today and can’t meet with her”
“Yes, My Lord”
Milton sent his chamberlain back
A while later…
“My Lord, as she left, Young Lady Philinover asked me to pass this on to you”
“Huh? What is it?”
“I’m not sure what it is, My Lord She asked that I deliver it to you and then left”
The chae paper scrolls
‘It’s too big to be a letter Wonder what it is’
Intrigued, Milton decided to check its contents
“Here, give it to me”
Milton received the scrolls from the chamberlain and opened them
Then…
“This is… a blueprint?”
Blueprints were drawn on the scrolls And they weren’t just ordinary blueprints either
“Isn’t this a blueprint of our territory?”
Looking at the drawings, even Milton, who knew nothing about civil engineering, was able to see at a glance that it was al, outer wall extension, port develop?
The blueprints were either as currently being worked on or what must be done for the development of Forrest Territory
“…Who did you say delivered these?”
“The daughter of Baron Philinover delivered them, My Lord”
“Philinover? Philinover… Philinover… Ah! Is it that person?”

‘I should meet with her’
“Request Lady Philinover to cootten tired ofladies, it beca them for business
A while later
A beauty with slightly curled, bright red hair soon appeared in front of Milton
“I aain, Count Forrest”
Sophia gracefully greeted Milton
‘She definitely feels like a Capital’s noble’
While Southern nobles weren’t mannerless, they lacked the sophistication due to subtle differences Co lady in front of Milton was both clever and sophisticated
