章節 49: A Work Day
Madelaine. Month 10, Day 15, Year A.F 652. The city of Rosalia, Kingdom of Rosalia.
The morning sun shines upon me as I walk through the busy streets of Rosalia, I look around as I smile, watching the festive mood permeating through the street as the decorations are put up and the children's laughter rings.
Though there arent any holidays coming it is quite understandable, after all, It isn't every day that a royal wedding happens. Then the feast and festival that should follow are sure to be quite exciting.
I tap my chin with a smirk, though for me perhaps, the most important part would be that the wedding is going to make me so much money.
The thought of so much wealth is quite exciting, and with the various restaurants I opened around the city, it will surely be within reach.
The ridiculous salary I earned made it possible for me to buy the failing restaurants and the closing inns, all ready due to the information Michael told me of the First Prince's wedding.
Though it is unfortunate that neither I or Michael can come to the wedding itself, seeing as we're human and all that.
It doesn't change the fact that the city's occupants would enter a spending spree. Especially from the foreign delegations and countryside nobles coming for the event.
Hm, maybe that's understating it. Since, this is the event of the continent, seeing as the two biggest nations in Brieslin would enter an alliance and unite in marriage.
Michael did say that the Iridian Principalities are currently in a state of panic. Mostly, those of which are bordering the two nations.
Ah, why am I thinking too hard on this, I think to myself as I shake my head. Im sure Michael already has it under control....maybe.
I hear the sounds of a carriage passing by as I look up, "Eh, I'm already here" I say to myself as I look up a building, its golden paint shining through the street, the prominent clothing store throughout the continent of Brieslin, Golden Wear.
A smile escapes me as watch the store be filled with various demon nobility each one spending their coins upon its products, such a sight has always put a smile on my face.
A hand holds my shoulder as I recoil in shock, I look to the hand's owner and see Cyril smiling with excitement.
"Madelaine, why have you visited? I don't think we had an inspection today." She taps her chin before she smirks, "You plan on buying a dress for the festival?"
Before I get overwhelmed, I raise my hand to calm her down, "Calm down, I came here to deliver great news."
She grabs my arm as she shouts, "Really!?" She drags me back to her office, going past her seamstresses as she excitedly dragged me.
"Now that we're alone, What is it?" She spoke as she enters her office, I look to her excited expression as she waits for my words.
"How about you take a seat first." I gesture her to her seat as I walk to a chair.
She looks at me, her expression filled with curiosity as she sat back, "Now what is it!?"
Rummaging through my pockets, I take out an invitation, "You have been invited inside the royal palace."
She chokes on air as she takes in my words. Well, she should be, after all, not everyone gets the chance to meet with the royal family.
Her eyes were filled with excitement as she spoke with a shocked voice, "Why has the royal family asked for me."
"Well, not you per se," I smile at her, "It's just that they have chosen Golden Wear to create the clothes for the royal couple."
I gesture to her, "And I don't really know anyone as good as you when it comes to sewing."
She then tears up before giving me a hug, "Thank you, thank you. I never thought someone would ever say that to me."
"You belittle yourself a bit too much, you've been working as a manager here for the past two years and Golden Wear has flourished here more than any branches." I rub her back, comforting a friend.
She wipes her tears as she replies, "Thanks."
"No problem," I smile at her as I stood, "Well, I better get going then, you should start preparing as well, there are only a few weeks left till the wedding."
She nods as she taps her chin in thought, "Yes, of course," She realizes something before she bows to me once more, I can feel her overwhelming gratitude, "Thank you for this opportunity, Madelaine."
"It's fine, you deserve it." She chokes in tears as she nods, I wave her goodbye as she waves back.
"Well, that was nice, I'm sure her skill will impress a lot of nobles still staunchly against our products." I giggle to myself at the thought of those that are against the new brand of fashion Golden wear has been pushing for, their stupefied expression once they see its special beauty and the royal patronage of their new princess.
Ah, just the thought of all those new customers brings a shiver up my spine. I grin to myself, unaware of the children running away.
"Well unto the next stop!" I say to myself as I skip towards another of Michael's business ventures.
Ha! another one of his seemingly endless ventures. I tap my chin in thought as I walked through the street.
How many ventures has he had already? From the businesses and properties I manage, I'm sure he's involved in printing, forging, textile, cotton, wool, grain, fashion and now trading.
How much does he even have now, I think to myself as I walk for a few more minutes, stopping only when the noises of chatter and arguments reach my ears.
I look up from my thoughts and see the wide and tall building brought about by the expansive records and administrations of the A&M Merchant Company.
The magnificence and decor of the building as countless carriage riders pass through it is nearly uncountable.
"Wow, I guess here is one of his cash cows."
