I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 131: MEETING THEM AGAIN: PART 1

A sudden feeling is swelling up inside her, she smiled at Silvester.

"Sure I'll contact you when something happens"

"No, Eve, you can call me if you're also bored."

Silvester smiled and hugged Evelyn before he hopped in the carriage. He waves his hand and Evelyn also does the same.

Before he went, Silvester had done his part and gave the information of what he learned to Edickart. He also said what he learned from Evelyn that the statues have a black magic on them.

Of course, he didn't disclose how he knew about the black mana that it came from Eve. He only says that he also has means of knowing just what Edickart said in the "tea time".

Now, Evelyn will be staying at the territory of the Duke of the Emsworth. She decided to keep a close eye with her family as she got the information from the elementals a few days ago. And it's the time that she needed to make a move.

So, right now, Gil, Evelyn, Cassandra, and the newly arrived Chrisfold are touring a house, no a mansion that Gil look into as they planned to settle in the Levinsgtone Kingdom for a while.

"What do you think? It has 20 rooms, a garden, a greenhouse and a vacant lot that you can do a lot of things here." The real estate agent said with a funny mustache on his face.

"This is nice... So, who's noble house is this?" Cassandra asked with raised brows.

"Oh this is from a fallen noble four years ago, it was seized because they can't pay their debt anymore you know a typical noble who loves to spend their money on unnecessary things" The agent said, his palms are folding together and is smiling at Gil, who will be the one paying for the mansion if he ever did a good job in explaining. In simple terms he's trying to suck up.

"Right typical noble" Chrisfold agreed.

The agent then looked at the people who were touring the mansion.

Two young men, one with silver hair and a smokey grey eyes that seems to know everything, and he also has an exceptional beauty, who is also said to be a famous merchant from the Corora town of the Perspiru Kingdom where his main product is an expensive winery.

While the other is a man with darker shade of brown hair and has a muscular body that you can see the form through his fitted clothes and also his chiseled jaw that also looked like a masterpiece sculpted by a famous sculpture. Basically, he's handsome with a great physique.

The agent then looked at the woman who asked a question earlier. She has raven hair that was tied in a bun, thin glasses with her droopy purple eyes, she also is a beauty, it's just that the two men have looks like they came straight from a painting.

Lastly, the real estate agent looks at the woman who is sitting nonchalantly where they are the break room. She has a black mask on her face but he can say through her butterfly like lashes, her cat-like eyes and her cherry lips and porcelain skin, the woman is also exceptionally beautiful.

The real estate agent has a feeling that these people will bring a new wind to the Emsworth duchy. And he needed to be with them if he wanted a better position.

"We'll take it."

The real agent snapped back as he heard the woman who was sitting on the couch spoke.

"How much does this cost?" Gil asked and the real estate agent happily replied.

"A three-hundred million gold if-"

Evelyn cut the man off as she nonchalantly announced.

"We'll buy it"

The real estate agent, Cassandra and Chrisfold looked at her in shock. 

Well it's to be expected as three hundred million gold is a big sum of money. Cassandra knew that Evelyn and Gil have been doing business but she didn't ask about it before because she only thought that they were only making enough money.

She never saw them as someone exceptionally rich like this.

Gil smirked when he saw the wide open eyes of Cassandra and Chrisfold. Evelyn made eye contact with Gil and the others.

'Why are they looking at me like that? Did they think that I simply live my life peacefully? I'm from a different dimension and besides I'm a business major in college. It would be strange if I didn't use that.' she thought then she ignored the stares as she spoke to the real estate agent.

"I also need a warehouse that is near an open field where the land is fertile oh I will buy the land too, also an office that is near the business district would be perfect. How can we have a business permit? Do we need to go to the land owner to get it? What I mean is the Duke?"

The real agent was stupefied.

"Y-yes"

"Perfect Gil you have your Id as a merchant right? Cassandra has hers as a herb specialist and Chris is oh right you still have to get one."

The real agent watched as the youngest in the group gave orders.

"Me and Gil will get the business permit, hey you"

She was looking at the dazed real estate agent.

"Can you schedule a meeting with the Duke? I'm sure the employees know you. We will have a good reputation if someone introduces us there. What's your name?"

"Oh I'm Ben." The real estate agent said. His funny mustache is going up and down because his lips are twitching in excitement.

"By the way can I ask you something Ben?"

"Yes, yes!" Ben replied with enthusiasm, he now knows that he only needed to listen to this lady and he is sure that it will bring him luck.

"Do the people in the capital and the duchy know the face or remember the face of Lady Evelyn?"

Ben paused for a bit. He was confused with the question. Nonetheless, he answered her question honestly.

"No, Miss Adelyn. The citizens don't know Lady Evelyn's face because she never got outside of the Duchy estate and four years ago the Lady died so no one got to see her face until the end. Only a portion of nobles can remember her face because only a portion can look at her in the eyes as they said that Lady Evelyn doesn't want people who don't have a higher or equivalent status to look at her. And some of them want to forget her as they want to erase the scary event that happened four years ago when the Duke went on a rampage"

Chrisfold, Cassandra and Gil silently listen to the agent's story and after he is done they look at Evelyn.

"Hmmm is that so? How unfortunate..."

Ben knit his brows, he didn't know why she asked that but seeing the woman with a black mask on smiling, the opposite to what she said left him in confusion.

"Should I look into it? But there's no portrait of the lady or everyone in the Emsworth family because they hate doing those stuff and the Military General, Duke Keene is scary so no painter has the guts to go in the mansion." he said unconsciously.

Evelyn, who is wearing the black mask smile.

'This is the first time that I'm thankful that my father is adamant on things with connection to portraits she thought.

***

A few days later, Ben, the real estate agent, comes back to the mansion. Well, technically he's waiting outside the carriage. He saw that there's a few servants and knights in the mansion. He thought about why they didn't hire a lot when they had enough money to buy land, warehouse and an office in a business district that cost millions of gold.

Step, step.

His eyes bulged and his mouth almost didn't close because of shock when he saw two people walking outside the mansion.

"It looks like I'm seeing genes that are exceptionally made of pure beauty." he mumbled.

"We should go." 

The sharp tone of Evelyn wakes Ben up in his stupor. 

"Ye-yes, Miss Adelyn. I already made an appointment."

Evelyn, who is still known as Adelyn nodded. Gil extends his hands and let her in the carriage prepared by Ben.

The carriage has already reached the Emsworth mansion. Evelyn looked at the carriage window and outside and saw the intricate design of the gate and a few minutes later she also saw the familiar garden with a pavilion and a fountain, that was the favorite place of her father.

She also saw her window from a distance. The second floor of the east wing, where the curtains are down in her room.

Gil looked at her and asked her using telepathy.

'Are you alright?'

She turned her head to look at Gil and smiled.

That smile means that she's okay and he didn't need to worry.
