The Archduke’s Gorgeous Wedding Was a Fraud

I couldn’t see what was written on it, but in situations like this, it usually only means one thing.

“Is that building across the street for sale?”

“Ah yes. It’s been on sale since a couple of days ago. I heard that the owner had gone bankrupt and that the building was being auctioned off.”

“Do you know when the auction is?”

“Well… … Land and building auctions are typically held at the start of each month. So, tomorrow?”

Then it hasn’t been sold yet.

That’s fantastic. Because it’s an auction, no one will be able to outbid me.

“Seems like customers are frequent on this particular street?”

“Ah, if you mean the transient population, then yes. It’s not as many as on the main street, but it’s still a lot. There are many old shops here that sell items made with great care by artisans.”

“Oh, really?”

“Everyone who is looking for something unique comes here.”

With twinkling eyes, I looked at the opposite building. The butler Theobalt’s words from when I first arrived at the Schweiden Mansion were ringing in my ears.

“He claimed it was one of the highest-paying jobs in the country…”

I finished my calculation quietly and whispered.

Launching a line of luxury clothing under my own name and selling it to noble ladies.

Dress shops were a very valuable business among the nobility, as a dress should not be worn more than once. Once the brand’s value is established, people will flock to buy it one after the other simply based on the brand name.

Of course, the brand here referred to me.

“Dear customer, the fans have been wrapped. Do you want to take it right now?”

“Yes, there is a carriage outside, so please load it there.”

“Yes, I understand!”

“Oh, there’s something on the carriage’s roof, just ignore it. It doesn’t bite.”

The carriage, which was engraved with the sun and chariot patterns representing the Schweiden family, was magnificent. But I even put a black tiger on top of it, so I couldn’t help but draw attention to myself without wanting to. Maybe tomorrow or the next day, everyone will be talking about it behind my back.

I passed by the two ladies who were still staring at me, dazed. I was aware that if I approached them about giving them a gift, they might feel burdened or even refuse it. Maybe we’ll be good friends someday if we meet at a ball or something.

I crossed the street, calling out to Juliet, who was standing outside. According to the squealing sound behind me, the fan surprise appeared to be a success.

“Hmm.”

After a while, I took a look around the building which was on sale. I was only thinking about it at first, but when I looked around, it seemed quite plausible, and I fell in love with it.

I intend to open a store here and hand it over to Madame. If the business succeeds, wouldn’t it be easy to make a living for the rest of my life?

It was critical to lay the groundwork for my life after divorce.

You cannot fail if you are poor or have no family to support you. I am, but if I have the title “Lacius’s fiance” as I do now, I’d be fine with failing twice or three times.

Because madame is also staying in Schweiden after selling her small shop, I believe it will be a win-win situation for both of us.

“Wouldn’t it be great, Juliet, to see my clothing brand store here?”

“Indeed, Master. It truly is!”

“It’s right next to the road and visible as soon as the carriage turns the corner. So even if it’s not on Main Street, it’ll suffice. On the contrary, I believe a location that gives a slightly isolated feeling, such as this, is more special.”

That is the way human psychology works. If you’re new to shopping, you’ll probably go to the central store.

Picky people, on the other hand, are different.

A little more special, a place that no one else knows about and only you know about. They were bound to come across such a store.

“All right, let’s call the brand ‘Titania’.”

If you lack naming sense, the safest option is to simply use your own name.

Luxury brand Titania.

It was a name that already tasted good on the tongue.

I shook my head and fantasized about the future once. Because I am the brand, I will hang the dress that best suits me on one side. We’ll popularize a so-called “Titania design” and sell it exclusively here.

The profit would be approximately 8-2, and I would be 2.  Which is good if you think of it as one sturdy retirement fund that was better than a bank.

‘Heh heh, good, very good.’

I’ll have to ask madame for her thoughts.

In any case, by the time the original female protagonist appears, Madame will have created her own fabric that has never been seen before. There was no powerful investor to back it up in the beginning, so it only became famous after a long time, but that will not be the case this time. It will become well-known almost immediately.

It was an excellent long-term investment for both me and Madame.

‘Of course, why become a simple building owner? Since it has already come to this…’

Let’s become a tycoon.

“Master, ah. Over here is a small tea house!”

Juliet, who had circled the entire building, shouted loudly at that moment. I was already thirsty, so I decided to pay it a visit and went there.

‘It’s pretty shabby.’

The tiny tea house was on the verge of being destroyed by someone. I wasn’t even sure if it was operating at all.

Ring. The tea house where the clear bell rang was very cozy.

The chairs were squeaky and old. Each chair had shabby purple cushions on top. A dusty picture frame was hung on one side of the wall where the light emerald wallpaper had almost peeled off and the ceiling appeared to be collapsing.

I didn’t notice the rustic nature of the green wooden door on the tea making station at first. However if you try to ignore the designs, you will notice something different.

The sun and wind come in through the small windows. The atmosphere is not sophisticated but it wasn’t cold either. For some reason, I felt like I was in my old grandmother’s house in the countryside, and I felt at ease.

“Sit anywhere.”

The grandma, who appeared to be the owner, handed over the menu and said curtly. She is unaware that I am noble, but treating you as such indicates that she may be in a position to do so or that she is accustomed to it.

I didn’t feel bad about it, so I accepted the menu board. I noticed a familiar face while looking around the seat with a meaningless gaze.

‘Eh?’

A lady with bright blonde hair pulled back and dressed in a light purple dress to match the weather. A woman known for her suspicious expression, thin eyes, and incomprehensible smile hanging on her lips…
