“Wow.”
I put my hands over my mouth in shock due to the bright gold shine that was reflected on my face.
The heavy bag was filled to the brim with shiny gold pieces.
“This is 100 gold coins. I came down from the capital in a hurry, so this is all the cash I had.”
A hundred... a hundred pieces of gold!
One piece is enough to cover one person’s living expenses for an entire month with the utmost luxury.
And I have 100 pieces! I'm rich now.
Is this the same feeling when you save a very rich person, and he offers you a huge sum of money as thanks?
What an impression!
My heart started beating hard because of this sudden money.
Huh, what am I going to do with all this money?
I tried hard to lower my cheeks and smile, which was rising against my will due to happy imaginations, and I bowed to Lloyd in gratitude:
“Thank you, Mr. Lloyd.”
I will accept it without hesitation.
While I was placing the heavy bag in my lap, the assistant handed me a piece of paper and a fancy pen.
"What is this?"
The paper was surrounded by beautiful gold engravings bearing the seal of the Hilderius family, a document of grant.
When I read it carefully, I was even more shocked.
“The Hilderius family grants the above-mentioned amount of… ones, tens, hundreds, thousands… ten thousand?”
There was written a huge number of 10,000 pieces of gold.
My eyes widened and I looked at Lloyd in amazement.
“H…this, what does it mean?”
“I know that this amount is not enough to pay for my arm, but my sister stopped me. She said that Amiya suddenly receiving a huge sum of money is not a good thing for her.”
No...in fact, this is a very huge amount!
I began to feel short of breath in front of this wealth that suddenly became mine.
“So, I will deposit this amount into the Imperial Bank in your name first. You can withdraw it with this document at any time you need.”
As soon as Lloyd finished speaking, his assistant pointed to the bottom of the paper, smiling brightly:
“You can sign here.”
I grabbed the fountain pen with a trembling hand and fell on it.
“There is a risk of losing it here, so I will send the document to your home as soon as we return.”
I looked at Lloyd's face, and suddenly a holy aura seemed to radiate from behind him.
To give me this huge sum because I saved his arm! If I could go back in time, I would be ready to sacrifice my life for him.
Wow! I'm rich now!
With this money, I can return to Zironia and buy a mansion with a garden.
Not only that, but I can buy a private car, hire maids and a driver, and live with pride.
Since I took on this character, I started out as a common orphan who had nothing, and was even expelled from the temple.
Then I lived for long days depriving myself of food and good clothing.
Those days began to pass before my eyes like a memory lane.
Because of the severity of the emotion, tears began to flow from my eyes.
“Are...are you crying now?”
Lloyd was confused by my sudden tears.
“These are tears of joy! I have lived in extreme poverty all this time. Thank you, young master. I hope happiness will always accompany you.”
I bowed to Lloyd repeatedly and then left his tent.
With the loud celebration atmosphere, my enthusiasm for becoming rich began to burn more and more.
I wiped my tears and shouted at the top of my voice:
"Oh! I'm so rich now!"
Passers-by looked at me strangely, but I didn't care.
Because I'm rich.
On such a happy day, wine cannot be forgotten.
"Booze! Booze!"
❁*Safa: Wine comes instead of Satan😑❁
I merged with the people, lost my mind, and started drinking enthusiastically.
Because of my high mood due to money, I did not feel drunk no matter how much I drank.
Yes...until I saw a strange-colored bottle of wine that Mika brought.
“Oh, what is this?”
“Yes! This is the ‘Mika’ wine that I made myself and presented to you earlier, Senpai!”
An evil aura emanated from Mika's smiling face.
Mika was very cunning.
Well, it's true that I got here because of a disaster that happened after drinking it, but in the end I earned 10,000 gold, right?
"good!"
I snatched the bottle from Mika's hand and drank it in one go.
I heard people around me laughing and applauding my strength in drinking.
I must have been drunk before, otherwise I would not have drank that unknown liquid and ingredients so quickly.
As soon as the sticky smell of alcohol crossed my throat, the world began to spin uncomfortably for me.
“Oh! The wine tastes great!”
Here my memory stopped.
And...then...then? What happened next?
I hit my head hard trying to recover the memory.
I opened my heavy eyes with difficulty, and found that the night had become dark, and the drinking session had ended.
The people who were drinking with me turned into puppies sleeping in their places.
When I groggily got up, I saw the bottle of wine that Mika had made.
There was a little wine left.
Actually, I don't know what I mixed it in, but it tasted amazing.
As soon as I saw the remaining wine, I remembered something.
Lloyd, the savior who made me rich!
Although he had previously targeted my neck and carried out a massacre in front of my eyes, those insignificant memories were forgotten in front of the amount of 10,100 pieces of gold.
I will make my savior taste this amazing taste!
I grabbed the bottle of wine and staggered to Lloyd's tent.
Then…then?
My memory was cut off for a while, and the next thing I remember was Lloyd's handsome face as he drank with me.
His long eyelashes softly cover his violet eyes, and his nose is straight like a sword.
I fell asleep looking at that face.
Yes, I only fell asleep because of the wine.
For some reason, it was on top of Lloyd's naked body.
We just slept and nothing happened.
As I was reminiscing, I came back to reality and looked at Lloyd's face.
He was still deeply asleep, as if he didn't feel anything.
I will run away quietly.
If I run away he won't know.
I will leave here silently.
Once I decided and got up quietly...
Swish.
At the slight sound of the quilt falling, Lloyd suddenly opened his eyes.
“From there!”
He quickly got up and grabbed my arm to pull me towards the bed...
My eyes met his as I was trapped in his arms.
His fierce gaze calmed down and turned into a violent shake.
If we were to give an example of an “earthquake in the pupil,” it would be what I see now.
He inspected his body from top to bottom, then inspected mine, and an expression of complete shock appeared on his face.
Sure enough, it was the same expression I had drawn minutes ago.
He was confused and stepped back, then quickly got up and turned around to cover the lower part of his body with the quilt.
His ears were very red.
Since I lived 30 years before reincarnation and 10 years after, it was not difficult for me to know what this meant.
Lloyd, it's okay, it's just a normal physiological phenomenon. Healthy young people in their twenties have this happen to them every morning.
There was a terrible silence for a moment. I could not bear the silence, so I said:
“Mr. Lloyd, we just fell asleep!”
Although the words did not make sense in light of Lloyd's nakedness and my wearing a very thin nightgown, I felt it necessary to explain the situation to the shocked Lloyd.
He wiped his face with his hands after hearing my words.
Then he looked at me warily, and as soon as he saw me his face turned red again and he turned his head:
“I understand, so... get dressed.”
Yes! When I bent down in response to his reaction, I saw my body blatantly exposed.
Big chest, slim waist, and fresh skin.
It seemed that I had acquired the features of the most beautiful woman in this world directly. Every part of my body was attractive.
Even I was amazed by this texture.
This must be a great test for you as a strange man.
I'm sorry, Lloyd.
I started looking around for my clothes to comfort him.
When I found my clothes lying under the bed, I secretly screamed, "How lucky!", but I soon felt extremely desperate.
I didn't expect this.
My clothes were completely covered in vomit.
Lloyd Eliar Hilderius was a man far from sentimental.
His only interest was training the body, sword skills, and increasing military strength.
So, in the 40 years between his previous and current lives, he had only known three women.
His mother, his twin sister, and his fiancée.
Among them, his fiancée was the only one who could be considered a woman.
Eveliana Rosiplier.
Lloyd grew up in a family where his parents were devoted to each other, so from the age of 12, he focused only on his fiancée, who was in a political marriage, and did not meet any other women.
The problem is that his fiancée, whom he should have seen as a woman, was cruel and evil, and after breaking off the engagement, she married the Crown Prince and ripped out Lloyd's heart.
After his return in time and his determination to take revenge, women were to him just a memory of the shock of breaking off the engagement and ripping out the heart, nothing more and nothing less.
Because of his constant focus on training and strength, his knowledge of sexual culture was almost non-existent.
In short, Lloyd had no experience with women.
The appearance of a woman with the face of his fiancée in front of him was a new shock to him.
Although she had the same face as the one who brutally killed his followers, she treated the injured with sincerity.
Moreover, this weak woman, who was terrified by the slightest killing intent, risked her life and jumped into the destructive rays to retrieve his severed arm, even though it would have inevitably killed her.
Lloyd remembered that he had lost his arm in his previous life because of his fiancée's scheming, and he was desperate, thinking that he would lose it in this life as well.
But Kai's sacrifice and her recovery and treatment of the arm were a huge shock to him.
“It's not Eveliana.”
