The meeting of the Countess of Charophet’s family was the first in several years.
It was because Gwen, who inherited the title after the death of the previous Earl, ignored her vassals and ran the family in an arrogant and extravagant manner.
There was a lot of disagreement among the vassals about the fact that Gwen had stepped down and the new count was the eldest daughter, who was nineteen.
“The Countess Charophet’s family is in deep trouble! The previous two counts were a mess, and now a girl who isn’t even twenty is taking over the family!”
“But wouldn’t he listen to us better than the previous two? He seemed to have a rather obedient and gentle personality.”
“Would someone like that come and immediately wipe out Gwen Sharope’s minions? He might not be someone to be taken lightly.”
“Hey, from the portrait, you look like a delicate and frail girl. What? Let’s not act so scary. Hehe!”
It was when the people gathered in the conference room were chatting loudly.
Squeak.
“Count Charophet has arrived.”
The door opened and Shailene appeared. She was all dressed up, as if she was attending a party.
Although she was quite immature in some ways, her fairy-like beauty simply captivated the audience.
Shailene, sitting at the head of the table, smiled gently.
“Hello, everyone. This is Countess Shailene Charophé.”
A heavily armed sword stood guard behind her.
Shailene opened her mouth again softly, checking the faces of the seven vassals one by one.
“The reason I called you today is because I want to start a new business in Yeongji and I wanted to ask for your opinions.”
“Yes, please feel free to tell us.”
The oldest of them, Count Walter, displayed his seasoned sociability.
“As you all know, the specialty of our territory is peaches, right?”
“Yes.”
“How about sprinkling gold dust on peaches to make them golden peaches and selling them for 10 gold each?
Shailene laughed heartily as she continued to talk nonsense.
The attendants all looked at her with bewildered faces. They were all meeting Shailene for the first time.
No one knew what her true personality was like. This meant that no one could tell if what they saw was real or fake.
“We can increase the rarity of our territory’s specialty products while pursuing high profits. Isn’t that a good idea?”
“… … But because of the price of gold, the margin won’t be as high as you think.”
The youngest of them, Baron Dumore, cautiously retorted.
Then Shailene clapped her hands and gave the answer.
“Then just sprinkle fake gold dust on it! Honestly, what good would it do to the human body to eat real gold? Just sprinkle some edible powder dyed gold and make a golden peach that looks like real gold.”
“No, that’s a bit… … .”
The moment when the vassals, with a sad look on their faces, tried to put the brakes on her business.
bang!
Suddenly, a sword came in with an exaggerated slash and plunged into the middle of the round table.
“I see there is someone who is dissatisfied with our Count right now?”
The people who passed by were frozen by the lively gaze and voice.
The black eyes that flashed like a beast were usually not ordinary.
“Oh, Carl. Calm down. It’s not time to draw your sword yet.”
Shailene waved her hand calmly to stop him. The sword backed away meekly, growling in warning.
“Anyone who rebels against the Count will learn how deep my loyalty runs.”
Shailene burst into laughter at the sight of her vassals still unable to move due to his momentum.
“Don’t be too scared, everyone. My knights are originally tough and aggressive. However, they are also very loyal, so I cherish them very much.”
“Isn’t that natural, considering that my salary from you is close to 1 million gold per month?”
The sword spoke, the corner of its mouth drawn askew.
Then the eyes of the deceased widened.
“What, what did you say? Did I hear that wrong?”
“No, I heard clearly that it was 1 million gold.”

“How could such a large sum of money be given to a mere knight… … .”
“Have you all forgotten? That Count Charophé is the master of the magic light!”
Shailene, who had let them babble on for quite some time, intervened at the opportune moment to say:
“I really like people who are loyal like a knife. I hope we can become such loyal friends.”
Her bright smile sparkled like gold.
The vassals, who were quickly calculating in their heads, began to compete with each other to flatter Shaylin.
“Haha, we are the same. Since we are already on the same page, I am really looking forward to the future we and the new count will have together.”
“I can only admire how you came up with such a novel idea like the Golden Peach!”
“The new count has given our Charophé a very noble character.”
Shailene asked, smiling silently as she listened to the pouring praise.
“So everyone is in favor of the Golden Peach project?”
While the six vassals nodded, the remaining one raised his hand.
“Please wait a moment. Making a golden peach is too reckless!”
It was Baron Philippe Dumore who had reacted negatively to the Golden Peach from the beginning.
Philip jumped up from his seat and tried to convince Shailene and her men.
“Even if you use fake gold dust to fool people, what will happen if you get caught later? It will cause great damage to the Charophet Estate!”
“Oh, of course I thought of a solution for this.”
Shailene crossed her legs haughtily, biting her nails.
“I’ll give money to those who find out it’s fake to keep their mouths shut. As you all know, I have a lot of money because I have a lot of magic power. If necessary, I can ask the Diat family.”
“Ha, are you serious about that right now―”
“Philip, you! Stop it!”
One of the vassals stopped Philip, who couldn’t hold back his laughter. Other vassals also joined in and criticized him.
“The Count is so thoughtful, so what are you complaining about? Why are you driving people around so recklessly?”
“Or are you ignoring the new countess because she is young and a woman?”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!”
Philip burst out in shock. Shailene stepped in before their argument could escalate.
“Everyone, calm down. If you don’t know me well, you might misunderstand. I’m this prepared and meticulous.”
She spoke shamelessly, then added, deliberately glancing at Philip.
“But honestly, it’s a bit unpleasant, so be careful next time.”
“… … Okay, I understand. But I’m against the Golden Peach.”
Philip apologized but still stubbornly expressed his opinion. His vassals clicked their tongues at him.
Shailene pretended not to listen to his words and ignored them, glancing at Philip with a strange look.
After that, Shailene’s antics continued. She would call a meeting at every opportunity and push for strange business.
“I thought about it. We should spread a rumor that a spirit made of rainbow feathers lives in our territory. Then, many tourists will come to visit.”
“But there are no spirits with rainbow feathers in our territory.”
Shailene responded brightly to Philip’s stiff rebuttal.
“You can make it by catching any animal and dyeing it with magic dye!”
“Wow, how could you come up with such a brilliant idea! You are amazing, Count!”
Then the other vassals praised and exalted her as before.
Philip protested with a scrunched up face.
“Wait a minute, are you suggesting that we dye innocent animals and use them to make money? Does that make any sense?”
“Philip, it’s you again!”
“Understand, Count. That young man is very dissatisfied with life.”
“We fully support the Count’s opinion. Don’t be discouraged.”
Before Shailene could say anything, the servants came forward and comforted her while criticizing Philip.
“But I don’t think this is right. I’m absolutely against it.”
Philip firmly held onto his will despite the jeers from those around him.
‘Hmm… … .’
Shailene squinted her eyes and observed him, while continuing to spout nonsense.
