The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman - Chapter 131



Chapter 131

16 years old (1)

High Theodor.

It was the name of Cecilia’s haute couture shop, which must have been named after her son Theo.

High Theodore was already famous in the social world even before it opened.

-Where did you hear that name? Where can we hear it?

-Hey! The clothes Prince Theo was wearing were from here.

-Oh, that’s right! Besides, the dress Mrs. Cecilia was wearing was also very beautiful.

– I heard they opened a big store in the city in front of you. Would you like to visit when you have time?

-great!

The performance that Theo showed at Ray’s birthday banquet and the fashion he was wearing began to rise to the public’s attention.

Cecilia also wore a beautifully decorated dress and showed her face everywhere in the social world, so many people showed interest.

where else is that

– Huh? Do you also run a fashion business at the Basque workshop?

-Ah, customer. That place is a partner affiliated with us. Since it’s not far away, would you like to visit it? There are so many pretty trinkets that your wife will love.

– Well, the price… … .

-of course! We are also running a discount event to commemorate the opening.

– Oh, then I can’t stand it!

In addition, as it became known that there was a Basque workshop as a partner, men who were not very interested in fashion showed interest.

It was thanks to those who came to the workshop to buy weapons and purchased items to present to their wives or lovers after seeing an advertisement on one side.

– You know who I am! uh! this person! Can’t hear that one!

-Sorry, customer. You can’t cut a line.

-If you continue to act like this, you will be doing business in Winterer in the future… … !

-The head of Ragnar is the boss’s husband, so would that be possible?

-Hey Iik!

Sometimes, there were those who tried to ask for favors or abuse power by claiming their status or occupation, but soon heard Ragnar’s name and rolled their tails.

Although every day was very busy.

A smile bloomed on Cecilia’s face, contrary to the buildup of fatigue.

It was a completely different look from the time when he was always stuck in the rose palace and was afraid that Kyle’s affection would leave someone else.

Then one day.

Wow!

With the sound of a slap, the tailor’s face jerked sideways.

“How dare you dare to say something so rude!”

A middle-aged woman dressed in an old-fashioned dress glared at the tailor fiercely.

Many people who were choosing clothes naturally turned to that direction.

“What you looking at! Did you see it?”

Then, when the middle-aged woman’s gaze shot sharply, people hurriedly left the shop.

Normally, in a shop under Ragnar’s protection, he would laugh and watch it, saying that he ran amok without knowing the subject.

Now, everyone was avoiding it because the other person’s status was their status.

Vivien Lee Narcio Mulligan.

As the hostess of the Narcio family, she was famous for her carefree personality, probably because she came from Mulligan, a great family that boasts a reputation comparable to that of Ragnar in the south.

Even her husband, the family head, avoids her seat when she gets angry.

“They said they don’t take personal calls, so I came here because I wanted to know how good they were. What are you doing here and there! where is your boss I can’t bring you right now!”

A few minions quickly moved to the rear.

Soon Cecilia appeared.

“Boss, I… … !”

“I’ll take care of the rest, so go in first and rest.”

Cecilia sent the teary-eyed tailor to the break room with her hand on his cheek and stood in front of Vivien Lee.

“You found it, ma’am?”

“Huh, yes. Are you the boss here?”

Vivien Leigh covered her mouth with a fan made of peacock feathers and blatantly scanned Cecilia up and down.

“Yes. Yes, but. If you tell us what caused you to be offended, we will take appropriate action.”

“Your year? How are you going to take action?”

Despite her blatant disregard, Cecilia did not raise an eyebrow.

“If you don’t tell us what you’re uncomfortable with, we can’t help you.”

“great. If you say so, I will tell you.”

“Yes. What could it be?”

“Everything from one to ten!”

Vivien Lee’s voice rose.

“Even when a VVIP comes, don’t you just tell them to wait and serve cheap refreshments, bring in an uneducated bitch and dare to tell them to do something about it as a tailor, and then say it takes at least a week for the clothes to fit? Even if I make it finely and ask for it to be worn, it won’t be enough!”

The faces of the tailor and his servants who were listening from behind turned red.

It was because it was a nonsensical house like one.

Serve cheap refreshments?

It was tea and snacks from the Western Highlands, which Cecilia had been airlifting herself, saying she couldn’t spoil the taste of the guests.

Each one was difficult to purchase even for ordinary nobles or merchants, so even if it didn’t suit their taste, they couldn’t catch it.

And a tailor with no education?

In the first place, all the tailors in the shop were celebrities enough to launch their own brands, but they only trusted Cecilia and joined them.

In particular, the tailor attached to Vivien Lee was a person who once served in the imperial family.

There was no way he was lacking in skill.

Above all, it was Vivien Leigh who made a personal attack while insulting the tailor who asked for forgiveness.

Same goes for waiting.

Because there are so many orders now, there are cases where ordinary people wait for at least half a year.

So, despite the guidance that we would not accept custom orders for the time being, I insisted on getting the clothes to the end, so I had no choice but to wait for about a week carefully.

Narcio’s sogaju is also Theo’s friend, so he wants to show respect to his mother.

By the way… … .

As soon as I gave this guidance, I immediately raised the slack.

Just because you’re making yourself wait.

“that’s… … !”

In the end, one of the impatient minions tried to protest, but Cecilia raised her right hand to stop her words.

Instead, he turned to the butler who was waiting next to him and ordered a few things.

“Is that it? bring it.”

“Yes!”

Soon, the butler brought a notebook with a lot of stains on it and put it in Cecilia’s hand.

One of Vivien Leigh’s eyebrows twitched.

It was hard to guess what Cecilia was going to do.

Cecilia, however, passed the notebook here and there with an expressionless face, then stopped in one place and said,

“Vivien Lee, you must have visited our shop 15 days ago.”

“By the way?”

“Even then, you kicked the shin of our staff member who was guiding us to wait.”

“what?”

Vivien Lee’s face contorted.

“A month ago, at a jewelry store affiliated with our shop, you threw cold water on the clerk’s face, saying that the credit would not work.”

“you… … !”

“Three months ago, she said that the dress she bought five years ago from another shop was damaged and demanded a 100% refund and compensation for the damage.”

“this person!”

“A total of 12 similar requests for refunds, 21 cases of assault by hairdressers or tailors, and 34 cases of non-payment of repayments… … .”

“What are we going to do now!”

Vivien Lee’s face turned red.

I don’t know where the hell did you know that, but I’d be embarrassed in front of so many people!

Then, it was only then that she saw the name of the notebook Cecilia was holding.

– List of truths.

Uh, that’s me, you told me that it’s ji, ji, the truth, right now?

“Anyway, we, ＜Hi Theodore＞, don’t think we can match Vivien Leigh’s clothes. I’m sorry, but the exit door is right in the back, so I think you can go through it. then.”

Cecilia bowed slightly with an elegant greeting and looked back at the staff.

“What are you all doing! Since the truth has gone, I will not stop doing what I am doing!”

“… … !”

The staff all smiled and went back to their seats.

Vivien Lee’s body trembled.

Have you ever experienced such humiliation in your life?

The escort knights who had followed her also took their hands to her waist while stiffening their faces.

It was their business to punish anyone who dishonored the name of Narcio’s mistress and Lady Mulligan’s.

But,

Chow ah!

“this. My hands are slippery.”

“Kyaaagh!”

Suddenly, a vase appeared above Vivien Leigh’s head, and the water inside poured out.

A sudden thunderbolt.

Vivien Lee screamed and glared at her back, and the gazes of the escort knights also hurriedly headed there, but their bodies stiffened.

The Maehwa Palace Lady stood there with an apologetic face.

“Stop making a mistake trying to look closely at a flower because it is pretty. What should I do with this?”

However, unlike the way he spoke, his eyes didn’t do that at all.

indifferent look.

“I heard that Narcio cuts off your hand when you make a mistake like this. Should I give up my hand?”

When the Maehwa Palace owner quietly put her hand forward, the escort knights were startled and backed away.

Vivien Lee just trembled in anger with her wet face, but didn’t say anything.

It was obvious what it would be like to fight Ragnar’s first wife and the ninth dragon here.

“… … let’s go!”

In the end, Vivien Lee chewed her lower lip and left the shop with a jerk.

Wow!

Soon cheers erupted from all over the store.

The Maehwa Palace looked back at Cecilia, who was standing there with an expressionless face smiling brightly.

“I came here after hearing rumors that this place is so good at the foundation. Can I talk to you?”

Cecilia gazed at the plum palace in silence for a long time, then quietly turned around.

“… … Please come inside.”

* * *

Time flew by.

In the meantime, Theo trained ＜Nibelune＞ to the Temple Knights, officially named the ‘Kriemhild Knights’.

When the confusion slowly subsided, he handed a letter of introduction to Vittorio, who was leaving for trade again.

In order to save the half-collapsed Bacchus family, along with a letter asking what it would be like to join hands with the Shipping Federation instead of the Ceres Merchant Merchant.

The reply came back quickly.

with very brief content.

– When did you go there?

For Naban, it was something he would not be able to pray for.

I had heard about Theo from a newspaper article about him being in the Floating Islands, but I never thought that he would bring the entire Shipping Federation to the north.

Of course, there was no reason to refuse.

Because the head of the household and the elders had already been dragged to Winterer, Bacchus’s family was rapidly declining, so there was a corner where he could breathe.

Thanks to this, Navan quickly began preparing to form a joint venture with Vittorio.

“I wish you well in the future.”

“We are. Let’s get rid of it quickly when there’s no guild in the north.”

“The monopoly market is the best market that all merchants aspire to. Whooping!”

Bacchus was in charge of transportation and protection so that the shipping federation could safely focus on trade, and the shipping federation was responsible for quickly procuring goods from each region.

The ratio is 4:4:2.

The Shipping Federation and Bacchus each allocated 40%, and Theo’s 20% share.

In addition to thanking Theo for giving him the opportunity, it was to use Theo as a neutral ground in the event of a conflict.

Thanks to this, Theo gained a voice within the joint venture, and was able to quickly expand its scale by connecting Hi Theodore and the Basque workshop.

You will need a significant amount of money to move forward in earnest.

It was clear that this joint venture would be a great help in the future.

Time flies by quickly as I organize things like that,

The new year has arrived.

“Theo, are you 16 now?”

“Yes. I see.”

“Big! Still, it’s a sun chick. I envy you, I envy you.”

“Selford could be nine this year… … !”

“Hey! hey! Won’t you be quiet?”

The north has long had a tradition of counting age based on the New Year rather than the birthday.

So now, Theo was able to reflect on his new age.

It was still a long way from turning 20, but after returning, I was able to have the idea that time is still flowing.

Of course, there was no time to enjoy the emotions.

– Mission directives.

Because the war that started in the north was rapidly expanding in earnest.
