ALL NOVEL The Young Lady Who Broke Her Engagement Is Only Obsessed With The Ending
Chapter 87
Bordeaux Andelman, the Lord of the Wizard Tower.
As the child of a former Lord of the Wizard Tower he was a person who was appointed and raised as the next Lord of the Wizard Tower from birth. He was also a great wizard of the 8th circle, yet he looked too young to be in his mid-thirties. “Sit down.” A chair and a tea table appeared as he tapped his hand. On top of it, there was hot tea and cookies that appeared good to eat. “I can prepare a meal for you if you wish.” “It’s all right.” As soon as he took his seat, his next words flew like a bullet. “As people say, I am a very closed-minded wizard, so I don’t have the talent to speak in a noble way like you.” ‘Even if I stab you, not a drop of blood will come out.’ It’s like talking to a living ice doll. “How did you sweet talk Maro?” Contrary to the topic she expected to continue talking about, the wizard tower’s requisition of monster corpses, he instead presented her a question she hadn’t thought of. “I didn’t sweet talk him. He’s the one who did it.” “Then, the next question. Are you sure you’re just here to trade monster bodies? I heard you went to enter the palace twice as soon as you got back from the expedition. You’re not sitting here while contemplating the details of your deal with the Emperor, are you?” He was too aggressive and straightforward from the beginning. Serdel sighed and took out several magic bags from inside her magic bracelet. The longer she talked with someone who kept his people so isolated in the tower and was this wary, the worse it would get. It would just make her tired. Rather, it would be more effective to just show him the things as soon as possible in order to hopefully change the atmosphere. “Can you take a look at this?” She took out the highest level mana stone and held it out. His eyes twinkled but shone sharply. “You must have seen and heard about the size of the mine and the condition of the mana stones.” “It’s an overwhelming size compared to any other mine, and it is said that the regeneration speed in the mined site is also fast because the mana stones grow so densely that there is not even a space to step without walking on them. Is that right?” Serdel raised her nose, a little proud. “That’s right. The amount of magical power flowing through the mine was so great that I dare to say that the mana stones will never dry out.” “That’s charming.” There was almost an exclamation in his murmur. “Would you like to check this as well? I have a monster sample here, so take it out and have a look.” He immediately slipped his hand into the magic bag and pulled out the corpse. Fortunately, its blood didn’t spill out everywhere because it was frozen under the influence of magic spells inside the bag. However, it was eerie because it looked the same as it had when he died. ‘The smell is still there.’ As she was clicking her tongue, Bordeaux suddenly summoned up a research table and placed the corpse on it and took a close look. His concentrating eyes were sharp. “As expected, it’s a monster from Elbash Forest. The amount of magi in the body is high, and the purity of the blood is also high. I was a little unsatisfied with the research I was doing—” “Would you like to look inside the bag a little more? You’ll find something even more coveted than that.” Her words came out with a relaxed smile, and heat was now radiating from his eyes. He immediately reached into the bag and pulled revelaing the body of the Raunel, which Belters had cut in two, that was now dragged out into his hands. “It’s a Raunel! I can’t believe I’m seeing such a rare variant of monster here!” Even though it wasn’t in perfect condition, she felt like her hair was rising again with the unusual intense aura she could feel. Bang! “Kyaaak!” “Oh my, the child was hit!” “Oh my, oh my—” Her body hardened again as the sound flowed into her ears, overwhelming her. Unknowingly, her gaze gradually turned to the Raunel’s eyes. She saw her Oppa through the big glass-like eyes. Even though it’s just a corpse, is it’s ability not dead at all? Just before sinking deep into the hallucination, she came to her senses saved by the tingling sensation in her clenched fists. ‘I almost looked bad in front of him!’ Serdel, who managed to calm her beating heart, took out another magic stone and pushed it in front of him with a calm face. Startled. “….” The Lord of Wizard Tower gaze was fixed on the Raunel’s. His gaze, after staring at it for a while, turned to her. Then, after checking the magic stone in her hand, his eyes lit up belatedly. “I think I’ve shown you everything I’m going to show you. Now, what are you going to do?” He straightened his posture. “Tell me what you want first.” After washing his hands in the whirlpool of water he created floating in the air, he naturally turned and sat down. What the Emperor wanted was three wizards of 4th circle or higher. ‘What I want is a close relationship with Wizard Tower, so once this transaction is successfully completed, that should follow naturally.’ “Please transfer at least six wizards of 4th circle or higher levels to aid the Imperial Wizard.” “Ah, as expected. The imperial family is involved. The Emperor has asked for 3 Wizards with 4th or higher circles before. Don’t put the Young Lady’s head too far on the line if you’re only dealing with frivolous negotiating.” As expected, he is not easy. “Will you listen to my explanation?” “I refuse. The Wizard Tower has no intention of getting involved in politics.” “Is that so? It’s unfortunate that the Lord of the Wizard Tower will experience the fact that you won’t get anything by sticking to tradition.” “What do you mean—” Serdel packed the magic bags containing the mana stones, magic stones, and corpses back into her magic bracelet. “No way, are you going to leave like this? Just in case you haven’t realized, even if this deal breaks down, the Wizard Tower won’t have any regrets here.” “There is nothing to regret here, but that doesn’t mean that you will continue to not regret it, right?” “Then you’re saying you’re going to wait until the Wizard Tower becomes desperate?” Instead of answering, Serdel raised her head proudly. Now that he has seen such good specimen with his own eyes, she doesn’t think he’ll even be able to look at the scraps he’s been working with until now. ‘If you bend or act weak and careful here, you’ll only look like a pushover.’ Let’s go a little rougher. Before that, she couldn’t stand the fact that her forehead was frowned at the terrible smells emanating from hands. Without realizing it, she continued to bring her hand to her nose. Why do I keep smelling it even though I know for sure that it should be washed away by now—? Then a whirlpool of water appeared in front of her. “Oh my, thank you.” When she washed her hands clean she could finally smile, then a warm wind blew and dried any remaining water. He even put lotion on the back of her hand. ‘You seem to be acting very carefully.’ She felt refreshed by the sweet scent of flowers. However, the lotion wasn’t very moisturizing. “It would be a good idea to think carefully. The Wizard Tower is the only customer who would buy such a large amount of monster corpses and be able to pay the resulting price. In addition, the Wizard Tower will also be the biggest consumer of mana stones. If Young Lady leaves your seat like this, The deal is broken.” “Is that a threat?” “It’s not a threat, it’s a rather blatant reminder of the facts. Are you going to lose such big hands like this? Don’t underestimate the influence of the Wizard Tower. We can also pressure merchants and prevent them from doing any business with you, Young Lady.” It’s a threat, well. “Even with the manastones you have mined, you won’t be able to show them properly in the market, will you be okay?” Serdel hoped The Emperor’s favor was worth all of this trouble. “It doesn’t matter. There are other Wizard Towers, not only the one in the Empire. Do you think there’s no place to sell it?” Serdel showed her teeth. “It’s a bit uncomfortable to bring in wizards from other countries, but if you put such a restraint on business that I have no other options then you won’t be able to do anything and all of this would have been in vain.” She shrugged her shoulders and blew away his last threat. “His Majesty has already given me permission to import and export. If you don’t hold onto me today, you’ll regret it—” “It’s going to be this way. Ah, I understand.” He flicked his fingers out of the blue. The tea table disappeared and a grand table appeared. On top of it was corn soup, salad, freshly baked bread and even cheese, and smoked chicken. “I think I’m losing my mind, so I need to fill my stomach. Have a seat, Young Lady.” She was dumbfounded. What the hell is this random and reckless behavior! “I don’t have much appetite.” “Anyway, if I don’t open it, Young Lady won’t be able to leave this space. So, let’s eat together.” Is he trying to drag out the time? After having battled through their gazes for a while, Serdel nodded as he placed chicken legs he had neatly cut with a fork and knife on a plate. Sitting down helplessly, Serdel began to eat. “….” What is this taste? The corn soup was savory and light, and the smoked chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, melting in the mouth. Glancing at Serdel, who muttered, the Lord of Wizard Tower continued to place pieces of meat on her plate. It was the first time in decades that he had a meal with someone. The Wizard Tower shows unity in front of a common purpose, but other than that, it was rare to eat together because of everyone’s strong individualistic tendency. He picked up some bread, cut it in half, put chicken, cheese, and vegetables inside and then put the sauce on it. The sandwich was also given to Serdel. He even offered her apple juice in case she was thirsty.
