Undercover Infiltration Duchess - Chapter 212

Name of Happiness (2)

God must have forgotten to fill his conscience when he made this man. Edmond whispered sweetly with an endless sweet smile as Ezet stared.

“Buy what you like. Or maybe you should take this opportunity to be interested in other areas.”

“I’ve already worn more than 100 dresses, and there are so many jewels that I put on at the party. What else am I supposed to buy here?”

People who’ve spent money say they do. For Ezet, who was trembling at 10 Lund and 50 Lund at the most, it was not a hundred Lund nor ten thousand Lund, but a million units of money that he never had to squeeze in his life. It’s a number she’s seen in any city budget, so it doesn’t even feel like money.

‘I mean, even buying all the mystery novels from all over the world will leave me with money.’

Not only mystery novels but also fantasy novels can’t be spent every month.

‘I can’t read it even if I buy it all anyway, so should I build a library?’

But the Jaxen family’s estate already has libraries and welfare centers.

“Edmond, at least… Please change the contract so that I can spend my future budget on charity.”

“That’s not allowed.

“Why the hell?”

“The budget for welfare work is allocated separately. If you’re doing what welfare workers have to do, the people in charge won’t be able to fulfill their duties, will they?”

“Well, still…”

“Think about it, Ezet, there’s a separate institution for the relief of the poor in the estate, and what if you came forward and started charity?”

“Don’t you think they’ll like it? Poor people get more benefits, and employees get more comfortable…”

“No, because you’re doing charity work, there’s less to do for them. First of all, the budget allocated to the welfare department will be reduced, and next, the number of people will be reduced, or the department will be moved. Even the rest of the staff will be laughed at for not doing anything from other departments.”

It means that if Ezet conducts charity work, the poor will not be happy, as the Ministry of Health and Welfare budget will be reduced, employees will lose their jobs, and even the remaining employees will be less satisfied with their jobs.

“If the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s budget is reduced, where will the remaining budget go? It’s either blind money, or it’s just the employees’ stomachs that have always been fussing over the budget.”

“Well, that’s impossible.

“And what would you think if the poor, who used to benefit from the Landlord every month, had their benefits gradually diminished after you started doing charity work? You would think that the Land Administration would take the money in the middle to return to them without doing what it deserved to do. Or you may think that the lord is trying to abandon them because he has no intention of rescuing the poor.”

There’s a sense of Deja Vu. Ezet once again felt like her soul was being robbed by this logic. Maybe it was the time when she was caught up in Edmund’s logic in Madame LaPromet’s dressing room and had to buy all 26 dresses.

“What Edmond says is a leap! I don’t think that’s going to happen just because I’m doing charity work…!”

“Let me give you an example. Cleaning and laundry are strictly up to the servants in charge. What would they think if the owner came forward and cleaned the room and washed the clothes?”

“Wouldn’t they thank the owner for helping them?”

“No, at first they’d be sorry for being robbed of their work, and they’d be embarrassed, but they’ll get used to it soon. Because of the lack of job satisfaction, they will try to rationalize the current situation and become lazier and lazier. In the end, there will be cases where the owner will take care of it, even if there is cleaning and laundry.”

“No, it can’t be… ”

Ezet wanted to contradict Edmond. However, she couldn’t think of any good words to refute. Why didn’t she read a book like ‘The 50th Line’ to persuade others effectively even after being subjected to Edmond’s conversation once?

Edmond wedged in at Ezet, who only had his lips glistening, avoiding her gaze.

“Use it, Ezet; your sister has spent the whole budget. Every month. Every penny.”

“I’m not my sister…”

“Yes, so I’ll double the budget. Didn’t you say it?”

“I’m asking you to reduce your budget. What’s the solution to increasing it?”

If it’s 4 million Lund, the money equivalent to a small city’s one-year budget is the scale, and how can we use it every month and as an entertainment expense? No matter how hard she thought about it, Ezet’s head was about to explode.

“Ezet.”

Knowing that Edmond is giving her an even bigger headache after solving only one, her husband, without conscience, embraced her.

“When you have a lot of brain trouble, it’s helpful to move your body.”

“Are you saying we should take a walk at night?”

“Even in summer, the Palace is on high ground, and the night breeze is chilly. It’s a big deal if you catch a cold.”

“Then what… Oh, my God!”

Edmond suddenly hugged Ezet, and she panicked and put her arm around Edmond’s neck.

“Sweating moderately helps clear your head, change your mood, and improve your physical strength. Forget all the trouble today, and leave it to me.”

Saying so, Edmond laid Ezet on the bed. Watching his red eyes bend gracefully, Ezet felt the chills again.

“You can’t be moderate!”

“Because I ate what you gave me today. I’m still fine.”

Come to think of it, she remembered feeding Edmond a potent sex inhibitor. Even before attending the banquet, Edmond did not satisfy his needs, caressing Ezet’s chest. It didn’t seem hard to hold back.

‘So… are you all right today?’

Does it mean that he will simply serve? She was ashamed and sorry to receive unilateral service, but it was the day when Edmond and her marriage were confirmed. Even if they didn’t mix their body, she wanted to kiss and hug him and fall asleep.

“You don’t have to worry about anything tonight, Ezet.”

Without knowing what Edmond was up to, Ezet nodded and closed her eyes, leaning her cheek against his hand.

A moist kiss continued around the eyes. Ezet took out each pin of her hair and carefully arranged her hair, and Ezet breathed a relieved sigh and put her arms around Edmond’s neck.
