SWSBG – CHAPTER 18

Surprisingly, the first merchant to visit the Princess was Andrassy, the last one who came to see her when she first called for a merchant. He came ten days after receiving the medicine.

“I didn’t know you’d come this early. You haven’t used it in 10 days yet.”

“If it was a medicine that was only used for 10 days and showed an effect, I would sell it because it would turn black horses to white horses. Ma’am”

He spoke so passionately about the benefits of holding hands with me that it made my ears ache.

Andrassy offered conditions that would tempt anyone.

“Consider it positively. Go back. Andrassy.”

Agnes was sipping tea the whole time, listening to his story and not making any decisions.

Rather, Niall, who was listening by her side, became impatient and asked if it would be better to sign a contract with him.

“Niall”

“Yes ma’am.”

“Have you ever run a business?”

“No.”

“Me neither. Is there a merchant among the duke’s servants?”

“…none.”

“How can you tell if those conditions are good or not?”

Niall belatedly opened his mouth wide and closed it silently.

“Stay still. Until we figure it out and bring us the best conditions.”

Agnes smiled brightly.

After a while, she called Andrassy and other merchants at once.

“I gathered you together to choose someone to be my business partner.”

The five men looked at each other with a wary look.

“As you know, making money by selling this medicine is swimming on the ground. If it weren’t for the prestige of the duke, we would have distributed it ourselves.”

Agnes deliberately clicked her tongue loudly. She didn’t forget to look arrogant.

“After much consideration, I will sign a contract with the person who brought the most satisfactory conditions among the five here.”

A fat man looked up and asked.

“You mean here?”

“Yes. Tell me the conditions you brought first.”

He sweated and stretched the conditions he had been thinking about.

“Only 30% of the selling price?”

Agnes snorted.

“What kind of nonsensical terms did you come up with? All right. It’s better to just distribute directly from the duke family.”

When she got up from her seat, someone raised her hand.

“Madam. I’ll do it.”

“Wait! I can give you more than that.”

Soon the drawing room was in chaos, and the final victor was, again, Andrassy.

“Sixty percent?”

“Yes ma’am.”

Andrassy said with his eyes wide open.

Agnes sent all the remaining merchants who were holding out not to leave.

“Go get the contract.”

Andrassy quickly took the contract from her seat when the Princess finished signing.

“What should I name it?”

He asked with a pen in his hand.

“What’s the name of the medicine?”

Agnes pondered for a while and smiled.

“Let’s go with Elemer.”

Elemer is the goddess of beauty in the legend. Andrassy wrote its name on one side of the contract.

“I will never let you down. Ma’am. I’ll send someone to explain my future schedule soon.”

As soon as he finished talking, Andrassy went out the door.

Agnes left the room holding the contract he had given her in her arms. Unfolding a happy world of imagination

“What should I do first when I get the money? Okay. Let’s buy his clothes first. He has to change that worn-out cape. And what else should I do? Ah, sword.  You should change your sword. I heard yours is wearing out.”

Then a gray-haired man suddenly stood in front of her.

“Who are you to block my path?”

“I’m Josef Inga. Duchess.”

He introduced himself by greeting me half-heartedly.

“Oh, okay. Inga. Do you have anything to say to me?”

“As the hostess of the Duke Arpad, you have prestige and a face. Why do you often meet with lowly merchants?”

Agnes’ mouth hardened.

It is also upsetting to hear such rude words in and out of the hallway, but what is more upsetting is those around them who watch them quietly.

“Do you know what I’m doing with them?”

“I heard that some bluffers sell medicine.”

Josef openly laughed at her.

“I guess you still don’t know how things are going and the Lady is still young. You shouldn’t start such a business recklessly.”

“You really don’t know anything. What I’m trying to sell to a noble woman is……”

Agnes was furious at what he said.

“Noble woman? What do people who sit and drink tea in a room know?”

Agnes shut up at his blatant ridicule.

It’s not because I have nothing to say. However, I thought I would not be able to hold back my anger if I opened my mouth more.

“…I understand your opinion.”

“The master is so generous that he probably didn’t say anything else, but please be careful.”

She didn’t answer.  The vassals who had gathered in three or five rushed past again.

Josef also disappeared between the crowd.

“Madam, what’s wrong?”

Ney, who came late, saw Agnes’ face and asked.

“Don’t leave me alone.”

“I will make them kneel in front of me crying and praying for the grace of the Lord.”

Her eyes are burning brightly.  Her hidden sympathy was shining like the sun.

“Sigh.”

Ney, who knows the character of the princess, shook his head.

The day after Andrassy went, a person came from the shop.

He knocked on the gate with a fairly large box of gold coins.

“What is all this? Is it the price of selling medicine?”

“Andrassy said it was a down payment.”

It was clearly seen that he was writing a number that would never make the contract impossible.

She received a box of gold coins and gave it to Niall. As expected, his lips were twitching with joy.

“For now, call the most famous tailor in the area.”

Without saying anything, Niall brought in a tailor.

She showed gold coins to the tailor who brought a lot of fabric and said.

“Build a male cloak worthy of the duke’s prestige.”

“If he’s going to wear it, I’ll make it right away.”

The tailor took the gold coins and walked out in a beat.

And as the tailor had promised, before the splendid cloak was completed.

The second carriage arrived from the shop of Andrassy.

A wagon was filled with gold coins. Several men were mobilized to carry gold coins.

“Maybe it was delivered by mistake?”

Laslo, who saw it, said something innocent.

Agnes grabbed his hand.

“Duke.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll make you happy now.”

She kept her word.  She called the merchants, and changed everything Laslo was wearing: shirts, vests, coats, and shoes, to the finest.

Even the horseshoe was changed to something embroidered with gold thread.

“Princess. This is too much.”

He waved his hands showing reluctance.

“Is it too much? It’s still a long way from the clothes they wear at the palace.”

In fact, this is not satisfactory either.

What is offered at the palace takes too long to get, so I just bought the best thing I can buy with money.

“Is that so?”

He stared at Agnes, blinking his eyes.

“Okay. What about a new shirt?”

“Very good. The fabric is very soft. Look. It can’t even scratch my skin.”

Laslo’s face was a little reminiscent.

It’s strange that her skin doesn’t get red scratches because she always wore only the cotton he brought.

I was touched for no reason when I remembered it.

“Duke. Don’t be satisfied with this. I’ll give you something better than this.”

“Is there anything better than this?”

Laslo’s eyes widened.  Agnes laughed.

* * *

After summer, autumn has come. Immediately after harvest, a festival was held at the temple. This is to pray to God for next year’s good harvest.

“You’re always the same.”

“Madam.”

Agnes was amazed that she was always sitting in the same position and writing something whenever she came to Adrienne’s room full of grass smell.

“There’s a festival in the temple. Don’t you want to go out?”

“I’m comfortable here. Should I bring tea?”

“It’s all right. What are you studying these days?”

“It’s nothing much, but I’m experimenting with more different herbs in the antipyretics used in the market.”

When asked about the study, Adrienne’s face brightened at once. She explained in detail what was not asked.

Agnes held it for a few minutes and shook her hand.

“Okay, okay. You’re doing a great job. What are you going to do with the money you earned?”

“Oh. Hmm.”

Of course, Adrienne’s share increased as the amount of money coming into Agnes increased.

At first, she could just stack it on one side of her room, but as the amount increased, it would be difficult.

“How long are you going to keep gold coins in the basement of Estar? Go outside and spend some money. Wear a lot of jewelry or fabric.”

“I don’t want to buy anything.”
