In the original story, this fact was somehow revealed, causing the work in the two large textile workshops to come to a complete halt. As a result, a flood of orders came to the smaller workshops, but they couldnât produce enough fabric to meet the sudden demand. Eventually, the price of fabric skyrocketed for a while until it could be imported from foreign countries. And at that time, Aria had to go to some party⦠but that wasnât an important issue for Grace.
âIt would be good to have some fabric in stock, but it would also be nice to have one workshop to expand.â
This way, there wouldnât be a big problem for the people at the orphanage later. Even if there was an overflow of work, they wouldnât ignore the people who helped them when they were in need. Grace felt proud that things seemed to be progressing steadily.
It was really difficult to escape from the overwhelming sadness, but working made her happy. She felt like she had found her worth.
Grace was pleased.
ââ¦?â
Until she saw the couple in front of her.
ââ¦His Highness?â
Grace didnât even think of hiding the title, even though she knew Lily was behind her.
Benjamin was smiling affectionately at the beautiful woman standing next to him.
He was naturally affectionate, so it wasnât surprising. He handed Aria a beautifully wrapped gift box. That was also not surprising.
Grace thought to herself.
âBecause Benjamin Felton has a crush on Aria.â
Aria was reflected in Graceâs deep turquoise eyes.
Aria Miller.
The protagonist of âThe Saintâs Wishâ and a being loved by this world.
It wasnât an exaggeration to say that she was loved. In other words, she was beautiful enough to be loved.
âAll the descriptions about her appearance in the novel were not lies.â
Not only were they not lies, but they couldnât even capture Aria properly. She was truly, incredibly beautiful.
Grace couldnât help but think that if she were to face a goddess, she would have such an appearance, even though she had never seen a goddess before.
No first snow falling from any sky would be as white as Ariaâs hair. Her hair was also wavy, but unlike Graceâs rugged hair, it was beautiful waves.
Under her lush eyelashes were golden eyes that shone brighter than gold, and no jewel could express Ariaâs eyes. No star could sparkle as beautifully as Ariaâs eyes.
âThatâs why sheâs the female lead.â
Despite having white hair, her skin did not look dark at all. Her cheeks were naturally lovely pink.
Unfairly, she looked good with Benjamin, the supporting male lead in this novel.
âThatâs why itâs only natural to like Aria.â
Grace understood. How could anyone not like such a person? So perfectâ¦
âSo pretty.â
A voice whispered in her ear.
â©Yes, unlike you.âª
Every time Benjamin said something affectionate, Grace couldnât help but feel secretly excited, feeling like a fool.
At that moment, Benjaminâs pupils shook as he noticed Grace.
âMy Lady?â
He seemed startled as if he had been caught. Grace pressed her hood tightly against her head, trying to conceal her face.
âLily, letâs go quickly.â
âYes? Okay.â
Lily knew that the atmosphere between the two was not good, so she immediately turned her head and followed Grace. Benjamin hurriedly followed behind Grace.
âMy Lady, My Lady. Where are you going? You have a lot of luggage. Let me carry it for you.â
âNo, itâs okay. You have a company with you.â
âItâs not really importantâ¦â
Grace stopped walking and looked up at him in response to Benjaminâs words.
Grace looked up at him and said,
âAre you saying that the only saintess of this empire is not important?â
ââ¦.â
Benjamin looked at Grace with surprised eyes.
âThatâ¦.â
âNo matter how much Iâve been locked up in the room until now, I know that much. Donât treat me like a fool.â
Why am I so angry?
Grace clenched her fists tightly and glared at him.
âHave a good time with the beautiful Saintess.â
Then she abruptly turned her head and headed back towards the orphanage.
Benjamin couldnât follow Grace.
