Oh? This is truly a good idea.” Thurul seemed quite impressed with my ideas. “Yes, the limited edition pens will allow me to sell them for fifty gold or more. Nobles like to have their fancy things, after all. Once I introduce the pens to the public, and they become popular, I only need to announce the limited edition pens. We can do one each month, and then they will become something like a collectible. But before I can even sell them, though, I need to get a patent from the king. Right now, I am…

The next few days, I spent them lounging about with Sophie. I helped train her a bit in magic and gave her some ideas on what she can do with spatial magic. Like inscribing runes into items to make them into storage devices. If she were to sell such things, she could make a pretty penny for herself. Of course, this would need Adel’s help as well to make sure she was protected and did not get scammed. But today was a day that I decided to do something about my own money situation. I still had some…

“Annie, Rina, Brooke, this here is Sophie, she will be staying with us from now on. So please treat her well.” I decided to give Sophie a proper introduction to the maids. “Sophie, Annie is the head maid, so if any troubles crop up, just ask her. Annie, I will let you assign whoever you want to Sophie. Just know she is quite the shy one.” “Then I will have Brooke wait on Miss Sophie then.” Annie gave me a bow before turning to Sophie and bowing to her. “Miss Sophie, it is a pleasure to be…

It was late at night by the time I finally reached the inn. Sophie had fallen asleep in my arms and looked to be sleeping quite comfortably. When I entered the suite, my maids were actually up waiting on me and went right to work preparing a bath. I reluctantly woke Sophie up, who was very confused at first but quickly turned as red as an apple as she realized she had fallen asleep. I chuckled as I let her down. “No need to feel embarrassed. You have had a long day. Annie and the girls are getting…

“Don’t get ahead of yourself. You snot nosed brat! Men kill her!” I guess nobles will always be nobles. They let their status go to their head, causing them to have a huge amount of pride. I guess this was going to end up in a fight no matter what. If I had been a bit quicker, then maybe this could all have been avoided, but now it is too late. The guards that were surrounding me all attacked at once. Either with weapons or magic. It all came flying towards me. I stood there with my mana shield…

“Urgh! She’s already sent back to the Count. You can’t…. Cough! You can’t get her back now!” Hearing the leader’s words, I sneered and began squeezing his neck tighter. “Where is the teleporter? Either you take me there, or I kill you and every one of your men. And do not think that I won’t. I know this place is not overseen by the knights and guards.” I was being serious this time. Just thinking about how scared Sophie must be right now. Being kidnapped and taken back to the place she…

“Why are all demis so stupid!? Get rid of her and do it quickly. Our boss does not like to wait.” The leader of the group yelled out. On his words, three men charged at me. I could only try to protect Sophie while fending them off. But I was naive. I did not take a good enough look around my surroundings. Right as the three men struck out at me, two more came from our back and grabbed Sophie! Before I could even react, I was surrounded. I quickly kicked one of them away while slapping the other two…

“Which one of you would like to go first?” From the sound of the fortune teller’s voice, it seemed she was an older woman, but I do not know if this was the truth. From the smoothness of the skin on her hands, it seems more like she would be someone younger. I guess most wouldn’t see such details when they were not looking, but I was a bit curious, so I was taking in all the details I could. It’s not like I would go and ask her personally who she was or how old she truly was. Going that far would…

“I would not have offered if I was not willing.” I said with a smile. Only when I answered did Sophie raise her head once more. I do hope she will be more comfortable. But I fear she will lose her spot at the academy now that she is going against the count. “Why? Why would you go so far for me, a person you just met?” Sophie asked suddenly. I can understand why she would ask this. I would ask the same thing. A complete stranger was going above and beyond to help them. It just didn’t seem…

The more I think about it, and I know that violence is not the answer, but if it truly comes down to it, I will use what force I need to. I do not wish to deal with such things, but now that I have decided to befriend Sophie, I will protect her as such. A person who abandons their friends is not a person. At least, this is how I see things. I know some of the ideals of this world are much different from Earth’s, but I still can’t stand by when a young girl is being forced into things. “Sophie,…
