It took only three days for Elena to read and understand all the books.
In the meantime, she was memorizing the book Jeremy had given her.
‘This is the power of acquiring knowledge.’
Elena closed the cover of the book she had read several times.
‘In the meantime, I memorized the theory quickly. Now, all that’s left is to put it into practice.’
Her two eyes shone.
Elena grinned and got up from her desk.
Today, for the first time, she was thinking of going out.
It has been quite a while since she opened her eyes to this world, but today was the first time that Elena would go out into this world.
Today’s destination was the commoners’ market in the territory.
She was planning to directly buy the ingredients for the potion there.
She could ask the maids, but she didn’t want to borrow someone else’s hand in obtaining the ingredients, which was the start of the production of potions.
Elena put on the robe and ran out of her room.
Before she went out, she had to stop by the Duke of Halos.
“Hah…”
When Elena asked the maid, who brought breakfast this morning, about today’s schedule, she told her to stop by the Duke of Halos before leaving.
‘Are you asking me to bother him?’
Elena’s lips twitched.
After he found out that she had a talent for magic.
Duke Halos became quite sincere.
He sometimes gifted her with jewelry and dresses and even sent the doctor and magic supplies when she collapsed from menstrual cramps.
In addition, various gifts often visited her room.
‘Thank you for your generosity, but it’s becoming a burden because it seems like you’re expecting too much.’
Suddenly, Elena’s feet stopped in front of the Duke’s office.
Knock.
After a small knock, the voice of Duke Halos was heard from inside.
“Come in, my lady.”
The butler opened the door just as she was about to come in.
As she passed the butler and entered, the Duke of Halos, who was reading the papers, welcomed her.
“Come here, Elena.”
“Did you feel comfortable last night?”
“Yes, yes. It was very comfortable.”
Duke Halos put down his papers and stood up.
And he guided Elena to the sofa.
“I heard you are going out today,” he said. “Are you going to the market?”
“Yes. I’m going to go buy some ingredients for the magic potion.”
“Ohh. I see.”
As the word ‘magic’ came out of Elena’s mouth, the Duke’s eyes lit up.
“If you talk to the maids, they will bring you those ingredients you require. Why are you going on your own?”
“I want to do the whole process of making magic potions with my own hands.”
Duke Halos smiled contentedly.
“It’s like the spirit of a craftsman. Hahaha.”
“Hahaha.”
Elena smiled awkwardly after him.
“Okay, then take this.”
The Duke of Halos took something out of his arms and handed it to her.
It was a small brown pouch.
Elena opened it as soon as she received it.
Gold, the common currency of the continent, was brimming inside it.
“Ugh. It’s too many.”
When she was a little startled, Duke Halos said.
“Buy everything you want, not just the ingredients for the potion.”
“Still, this is too much.”
Elena was genuinely astounded.
The materials she would buy today were enough for her to buy even if she only had 1 gold left.
But it seemed that she would pay ten times more.
“Didn’t I say I will give you all my support? So, don’t be afraid to take it.”
At the persuasion of the Duke of Halos, Elena had no choice but to accept the money in her arms.
‘What kind of bribe is this?’
She struggled to hide her smile, which was leaking out due to the unexpected pocket money.
“And since I told the knights in advance, go out with them.”
When Elena was about to get up, Duke Halos added those instructions.
‘After the pocket money, the knights are also included.’
Unlike the pocket money, the knights were a little burdensome.
Elena felt she was being treated like a real daughter.
“I’m fine….”
“I won’t be at ease. It’s not acceptable if our precious sorcerer gets hurt.”
Was the Duke of Halos such a clever character?
Elena tried to recall the original story; but unfortunately, the Duke of Halos was only a supporting character.
“If you still feel burdened about it, let yourself be accompanied by at least two knights.”
“All right. Thank you.”
Elena saluted the Duke of Halos and left his office.
‘It’s a burden, too.’
The elderly butler greeted her as she sighed deeply.
“Miss. I will bring the knights, so please wait in the hall.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
Elena followed the butler and headed alone.
Standing in an empty hall, waiting for the knights to come.
Thump! Thump!
It was noisy from the staircase.
Elena decided to look away.
“Sister!”
Lexion rushed out.
“Lexion?”
At the appearance of the child, Elena’s lips rose by themselves.
Lexion, standing in front of her, smiled brightly.
