Chapter 118 (1/2)

”T-ThThat is…” (Marchioness)

”It's just a pearl necklace. My husband gave me a gift even thought I was not my birthday…” (Iris-sama)

In response to Marchioness stuttering words, Iris answered lightly.

Then, on behalf of the marchioness who could no longer speak, the other ladies stormed Iris with questions.

”Wh-Where did you purchase it?!” (Other Lady)

”It seems my husband got this from the person who he had took care of. Well, perhaps it's thanks to my husband's habitual business” (Iris-sama)

”W-Wh-Wh-Who was it! No, who was this person who gave you this?” (Other Lady)

”That person only gave a disguised name even to us, so we don't know the real name of that person” (Iris-sama)

”Pardon me, Count Bozes. If Possible, I'd like to introduce myself to that person… ” (Other Lord)

”Can you give me a rough estimation of how much you acquired it?” (Another Lord)

In the back, the husbands of the ladies who surrounded Iris, from Count, Marquees to Duke, also stormed Count Bozes with questions. When they got home, their wives would be demanding information, so it was natural to seek some.

Of course, all of the could roughly figure how much it would cost. But if they could get some quotes from Count Bozes, they might be able to vision whether if they could obtain it. [No matter how rare it was, if there's one exists, there must be at least another one] they're betting on that smallest possibility. It was natural to think so.

However, those who were from viscount house of below did not seem eager to ask for information. It was obvious that no matter how much cost was, they would never be able to obtain it. But, in order to make their wife to give up, they still wanted to ask the rough price if possible.

Honestly, I can't tell everything. After all, the only money I actually paid was the cost of that building and its renovation cost, and a little sum of money I gave before she left the territory. Right, that necklace is national treasure grade, No, it is even more valuable than that. If I were to speak honestly, imagine what would they say about Bozes Family. (Count Bozes)

[A villain who tricked a foreign princess and took her heirloom]

[The kingdom's Disgrace]

[Evil should be perished]

If I were to speak the truth, no matter how much explanation I give, I don't think everyone would be convinced. If I see from a third-person point of view, I will still not be convinced and will certainly condemn the other party. (Count Bozes)

In fact, the Bozes Couple intended to return the necklace when Mitsuha earned the money the count had given her, or when she married off somewhere, they can say, it's a celebration…

If possible, they hoped that the groom would be from Bozes Family, but even if it was another family, the idea remains the same.

But there's no use saying that now.
