I Am The Villainess With A Maxed-Out Luck Stat - Chapter 121



Only Noblemtl

121. No business sickness, no business sickness!

“Launching a jewelry brand?”

Seraphine looked as if she couldn’t believe her ears when she heard my ambitious business plan.

“This is not an ordinary piece of jewelry. It is a masterpiece that will make the loose jewelry market nervous. Don’t you see signs of a big hit already?”

My ambitious business plan.

That was to start a jewelry business as a weapons dealer acquired from Count Vermon.

“Hmm… … . Well.”

But Seraphine was surprisingly cautious.

I thought she would respond right away if she was kind to me.

She hesitated for a moment and then asked cautiously.

“But why do you insist on expanding your business? Isn’t the arms business already doing well?”

“That’s true. But there’s no guarantee that the current situation will last forever.”

“There are no guarantees?”

“Count Vermon’s arms dealership grew explosively during the time when the late Emperor was waging wars of conquest. But now is a time of peace.”

Instead of providing war supplies, current arms dealers were supplying weapons to places like royal families or dukes that owned knights and mercenaries.

“Since the war ended, domestic demand for weapons has not been what it used to be.”

“So?”

“The Earl of Vermon tried to find new markets for weapons by opening up overseas markets, but a variable arose.”

“If it’s a variable, is it a problem with the supply of magic stones?”

“Yes.”

As the supply of raw materials suddenly decreased, finding a sales channel became difficult.

“But the remaining magic stones can be made up for by trading with the Kingdom of Pyron… … .”

“Because there is such a thing as a one in a million chance.”

Seraphine tilted her head, but she couldn’t spoil the original work any further.

“Anyway, I plan to diversify my business in the future. Instead of using magic tools to support war supplies, I’ll be making more everyday items.”

“So you’re starting a new business?”

When I previously took the self-defense magic tool from Count Vermon.

‘Even back then, I thought it was such a waste.’

It’s a useful magical tool for both self-defense and everyday use, but it’s only used for killing.

“We don’t plan on expanding the scale any further right now, and for now we will only produce a limited number of products and sell them in small quantities.”

Basically, magic stones are expensive and difficult to craft.

So the plan was to create high-end jewelry aimed at people with purchasing power.

A special piece of jewelry, one of a kind in the world.

Besides, I’m super lucky. Can’t I just push through anything with luck?

“Then, did Your Highness give his permission?”

“Of course. If I do something secretly and get caught, my brother will turn around and come running to the duke’s residence.”

“but…….”

Seraphine nodded.

She too had been banned from entering the ducal palace due to Ikart’s misfortune.

I specifically asked for Ikart’s consent by letter.

[Do whatever you want.]

―The answer that came back was so cool that it was almost cold.

‘By the way, I wonder how Ikart is doing.’

You must be busy adapting to the changing environment.

He suddenly left the duke’s residence shortly after I returned from Garrett’s estate.

‘I took Philip on my right and the Earl of Vermont on my left.’

Even until the last moment when the carriage departed, the image of them bickering with the Count of Vermont was vivid.

[Why is the Count sitting next to me?]

[Please allow me to watch from the side. If you leave my sight even for a moment, I’ll be worried to death.]

[… … Do you want to get kicked again?]

[If you kick me yourself, of course. Even your kicking would be like a gift to me.]

[Please get out.]

‘I hope you survive until the end.’

Our family… … no, our money line. Anyway, fighting!

“Is this really okay?”

“Don’t worry.”

Seraphine’s worries still seemed to have not been erased, but you have to experience anything to know the outcome.

I handed Seraphine the prototype that was inside the box.

“Now that I think of it, I’ll give this to Yeong-ae as a gift. Please take good care of it for me, Yeong-ae.”

Time passed quickly, and the morning of the hunting festival finally dawned.

In the middle of summer, when the hot sun radiates heat.

A competition of dancers was expected to unfold, showing off their burning vitality even in the scorching heat that seemed to burn everything.

‘It’s an event that has nothing to do with me and is a billion light years away from martial arts.’

This time, as always, an invitation came from the royal family.

‘Is this the life of an extrovert?’

Or is it the fate of the possessed who cannot refuse the original event?

First of all, since the hunting festival was the second episode of the original, I was moving to the town of Khorne, near the capital.

The original heroine, Seraphine, was also in the carriage I was riding in.

“Your Majesty, look at this! It’s finally a forest path.”

She was staring out the car window, her eyes captivated by the exotic scenery.

Unlike the bustling and vibrant capital city, the forest-surrounded town of Korn exuded a mysterious feeling.

She kept exclaiming, then turned to me and said, “Ah.”

“It’s raining outside.”

The sky seemed to be getting a little cloudy. As I entered the village, thin raindrops splashed against the car window.

“Did you know? It rains half the time in the village of Korn.”

“If it rains and gets cooler, it might be better for the hunting season.”

Outside the window, a procession of carriages carrying nobles attending the hunting festival could be seen.

The hunting festival was held in a forest near the village of Khorne, one of the Emperor’s private territories.

As we entered the dense forest, the tall trees stretched so high that they blocked the sky.

A forest path so wide and dark that you can’t even guess its size.

As we passed through, a huge outdoor stadium and stands appeared.

‘That’s today’s stage.’

Soon the carriage slowed down.

As I was getting off the carriage, a system window appeared before my eyes.

Ppeorong!

【SYSTEM: You have entered the occurrence area of ​​Episode 2.】

[Episode 2. ‘The Master of the Hunt and Treasure’ begins.]

[Action restrictions apply to the villainess Roselia.]

It’s finally here.

“Your Majesty? Why are you doing this?”

When I stopped the carriage without getting out, Seraphine, who was following me, tilted her head.

‘I’m sorry in advance, Young Lady Seraphine.’

From now on, it was time to move according to the original’s will, not my own.

* * *

In front of the hunting grounds, the nobles who arrived at the outdoor arena got off their carriages one by one.

“You thief X! How dare you touch my necklace?”

A sharp scream echoed through the peaceful forest.

People’s attention was immediately drawn to the source of the commotion.

“Yes, yes? Your Majesty, what do you mean? This is a gift you gave me.”

The incident was triggered by the necklace Seraphine was wearing.

The gorgeous necklace decorated with rubies and pearls looked very expensive at first glance.

Roselia cursed at Seraphine for stealing the necklace, and Seraphine hesitated in embarrassment.

Roselia herself was also embarrassed.

‘Now this is how you build up.’

That necklace was something he had given to Seraphine a while ago.

‘When you willingly gave me a gift, now you’re accusing me of being a thief.’

There was absolutely no such thing as a split personality.

I feel sorry for Seraphine who got slapped in the middle of the night, but I think I understand the original author’s intention.

‘I guess they’re trying to portray the poor heroine as someone who is being bullied by a villainess.’

As it happened, nobles who would act as wind catchers gathered.

“What the hell is going on? Who stole what?”

“It looks like they’re fighting over a necklace… … .”

“Is it Princess Roselia again? I thought it was a bit quiet these days.”

People were whispering, but Roselia didn’t care at all.

“Are you lying now?”

Excited, Roselia finally raised her hand.

Crack-

Seraphine, who had been hit hard on the cheek, held her swollen cheek.

“Oh, Your Majesty… … .”

A shocked Seraphine looked up at Roselia, tears welling up in her eyes like glass beads.

That was when.

“Your Majesty!”

At that moment, Crown Prince Perwin appeared, flanked by his courtiers on both sides.

At his appearance, the onlookers parted like the Red Sea. Some were busy hastily greeting him.

Perwin stepped forward, ignoring the nobles’ greetings.

“Roselia. What are you doing here?”

Perwin, who had identified the source of the commotion, frowned in annoyance.

Roselia quickly clung to him.

“Your Majesty, that young lady stole my necklace! And then she shamelessly took it away. It’s really creepy!”

“That Young-ae?”

Perwin wiggled an eyebrow.

His gaze turned to Seraphine, who was shedding tears sadly.

Roselia could clearly see what would happen next.

‘It’s obvious, it’s obvious.’

Perwin, who was moved by poor Seraphine, will protect her, and Roselia will hold a grudge against Seraphine because of this.

Of course, the current Roselia had no intention of doing that.

She just wanted this banal romance to pass quickly.

“Please punish that young lady, Your Majesty!”

“As much as you want.”

Perwin nodded at Roselia’s urging.

“But the hunting festival will start soon. Why don’t we go in first and settle the squabbles later?”

He reached out his hand to Roselia without any hesitation.

‘What is this mild reaction?’

Shouldn’t Perwin look at Roselia like she’s a bug when she acts up?

Roselia wasn’t the only one who was confused.

The nobles who were watching the situation were also unable to hide their bewilderment and were in an uproar.

At the same time, a system window appeared before Roselia’s eyes.

【Error! The male protagonist Perwin deviates from the original scenario.】
