After all, choosing her as a chaperone was also to secure the coffee trade route, which is Armand's main item.
Eating a pheasant and an egg. Ditch and catch crayfish. (Korean Idioms. Meaning: Solving two problems at one time with a single action. To kill two birds with one stone).
There was no better choice for me than Marquise Vaslane.
“… Maybe it’s because of the coffee bean distribution channel?”
"That's right."
Isidore, who immediately understood my intentions, laughed out loud, just like the first time I saw him at Blanche.
"Haha! The princess must be the first girl in the history of the Empire to use a chaperone as a business channel. In fact, that's why I fell in love with you."
I rubbed the nape of my neck shyly.
"When I saw the sales slip, I saw that the Ferdin merchants were raising the cost of green coffee beans little by little."
It's not a dangerous level to rush right away.
However, securing a new distribution channel for business expansion is an essential process, and just in time for me there is a chaperone preemption.
For various reasons, I thought Marquise Vaslane was the best fit for the chaperone, but I didn't know she's a very special person to Isidor.
“Whoa, I’m suddenly nervous.”
As I muttered softly as I patted my chest, Isidor reached out his arm and gently stroked the back of my hand.
"Do you care because it's my family?"
"Of course."
At first, I wanted to maintain a smooth relationship with the Vaslane family, but now I sincerely want to look good to Isidor's aunt.
“…So, by the way, who is Marquise Vaslane? What does she like?”
He smirked when I actively asked.
"If she knew a little bit about you, my aunt would like you as much as I do."
"Sir, you think so because you are stuck in a bean pod. I'm serious." (In korean a bean pod has been put on to describe the expression "love is blind". Bean pods are similar in size as human's eyes. So it is a symbol of eyes covered by a bean pod which means you can't see anything. And that means love is blind).
"I'm on the objective side."
Isidor muttered softly, scratching his chin with an ambiguous look on his face.
“Actually, even as her nephew, I don’t know about her clear preference. My aunt is a person who doesn’t reveal her inner feelings well. She is a person who is prudent, always keeps the line, and has a clear domain."
"I see."
'She's the type that's hard to persuade.'
If she was anyone who could come over with the gift offensive, Isidor would have immediately given a word, but Marquise Vaslane seemed to be a person with high self-esteem.
'Still, Isidor gave me quite a few hints about her personality.'
I was in agony, he pulled a coin out of his pocket.
It was the same coin on the front and back.
He seemed to look for a new one because I was disappointed that I lost it.
