Chapter 90: Volume 6 - CH 26

I Will Avoid the Male Lead and Make a Harem

“You appear to be in a good mood, My Lady.”

William, who was quietly waiting for me outside, said.

“Yeah.”

“Did everything go smoothly?”

I gave him a cheerful smile.

“It’s all because of William.”

Suddenly, the world appears to be beautiful.

He returned my gaze and asked, holding my hand so I could safely board the carriage.

“Are you returning to Count Castle now?”

“No, there’s a place I need to stop by.”

There was somewhere to spend the rest of the money.

⇺⇺⇺⇼⇻⇻⇻

We arrived at an old building that was on the verge of being demolished.

There was a pleasant smell of wet straw everywhere as soon as I walked in.

The smell of labor that worked nonstop permeated throughout the building.

Instead of asking the overbearing William, I knocked on the thin wooden door.

Knock- knock-

“Is this Penny’s brewery?”

Rugged clothing and rough hands.

A middle-aged man who was sweating profusely looked back at me.

“Who……?”

His features were strikingly similar to Penny’s. It seemed like he was Penny’s father.

I was wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and William, who was standing next to me, introduced me.

“This is Lady Selina Crawford from Count Crawford.”

“…What? Oh, my!”

The man was startled and quickly bowed his head.

“Lady Crawford!”

That was undoubtedly the reaction upon a first time seeing the lord’s daughter.

‘Yeah, there’s no way Selina has ever been here.’

Selina was a terrible homebody who didn’t even leave her room.

Still, Penny was her only close maid, so I’m wondering if she ever met Penny’s parents.

“Please stand up. What about Penny?”

“Pe-penny is……”

Perhaps because he was seeing a nobleman for the first time, he found it difficult to raise his head and flinched.

It was back then. A friendly voice called out from behind.

“My Lady……?”

It was Penny. In just a few days, she had become haggard.

“Penny.”

She didn’t appear well, possibly because he hadn’t eaten properly while away from the county castle.

Looking at the berry basket she was holding, she appeared to be helping her sick younger sister while also assisting with brewery work.

“Lady Selina! What are you doing up to here?”

Meanwhile, I was moved by the sight of Penny greeting me.

“How come you’re all dressed in black? Oh, my God, how can black look so good and pretty on you……”

Not only me, but everyone in the County Castle wore black to mourn.

It was because of Marquis Whiterot’s death.

Cedric took the tightrope as a chance to complete the peace treaty with the barbarians, while Camilla tried to figure out what had happened.

“Five.”

Because it was the Middle Ages, most commoners had a large number of children. Five of them should come as no surprise.

Her mother died young, and my father runs a brewery by himself…… It looked unreasonably heavy.

I was concerned that Penny and Penny’s father, who was illiterate, would properly write the ledger.

‘I wonder if this magic crystal can cure illness.’

My magic crystal was a bit unique. I can use it as much as I want for as long as I want and wherever I want.

Originally, magic crystals, like disposable batteries, could only be used for a limited time.

Ripped and pierced flesh can be reattached, but can diseases be treated?

I decided to give it a chance.

“Where’s your sister?”
