Why Are You Obsessed With Your Fake Wife? - Chapter 72.1

Nadia wondered a little, but she didn’t bother to argue.

Maybe she was mistaking their eyes met.

“Since a while ago.”

“Oh, my God, I let you see a rough sight.”

“No, it was a wonderful sparring. I’ve never seen you use a sword yourself. I heard that none of Sir Fabian’s knights could beat you, it really seems so.”

It wasn’t just lip service.

Nadia didn’t often encounter real sparring between knights, as her main focus was on the estate’s paperwork.

She could see the corners of Glenn’s mouth creeping up when she said it was a wonderful sparring.

He covered his mouth with a handkerchief as if he was wiping his sweat, but he couldn’t avoid Nadia’s sharpness.

Looking closely, it seemed that his cheeks were slightly red.

She stopped and giggled at his appearance.

‘Men.…’

She felt like watching a puppy keep acting cute to hear more compliments.

Just as she thought they were having a nice and simple conversation, a servant rushed in from outside her sight.

“My lord! My lord!”

The servant, who rushed in, approached Glenn.

Rather than raising her voice, Nadia had  to stick herself to the railing and ask him.

“What happened?”

“Wayne, who went up to the capital, is back.”

“Oh, really?”

Nadia’s voice lit up. It was probably about the tea order.

Glenn suggested, as if he had read her mind.

“I heard you’re waiting for Alhyun. Do you want to go with me?”

The meeting place between Wayne and the Marquis of Winterfell was the Great Hall, not the drawing room.

The drawing room was too small for the sale money and other items brought from the capital.

Wayne said, pointing to a drooping pile of crates.

“Most of the jewelry and artworks were sold at auction. Excluding the auction house fee, the total amount is 84,030 gold. Please look at the books and documents here for details.”

“Hmm.”

Glenn and Nadia looked lightly over the papers they had been handed over, and handed it over to the servant.

It would be impossible to compare the book and the sales right now.

But Wayne was here for another reason.

“We’ll check the details a little later… Did anything happen in the capital?”

“Some people looked at the amount of treasure from the Dragon lair, but other than that, there was nothing else to say.”

“That’s a relief. Anyway, good work.”

“It’s something I ought to do.”

Wayne leaned slightly down in a polite manner.

Glenn and Nadia, who were looking at him, turned to each other at the same time.

Then they started talking with their eyes.

‘He is so humble, it’s kind of weird to make him work more…. To ask someone who hasn’t rested to go to the capital again…’

‘We can’t help it. Tell him we will give him more commission.’

One couldn’t be a good merchant just because they delivered the goods safely.

Good quality goods should be available at the lowest possible price and at the right time, and above all, they should be reliable.

Wayne Marcus was the best option at this point.

‘Then you should tell him. You are closer to him than I am.’

‘…….’

Nadia conveyed her intentions with her eyes and expression and began to make a different face.

It had to be Glenn’s role to open his mouth without a hitch.

“It would have been quite a long way to get back and forth from Winterfell to the capital, but there is no need to be humble.”

“No, I’m not. It’s my duty. It’s also beneficial for me because you raised the brokerage fee higher than usual.”

Of course, they were hoping for such response.

Glenn, who didn’t miss the opportunity, quickly continued.

“Then shall we try it again?”

“Pardon?”

“Going up to the capital. It’s hard to be self-sufficient in the north. Especially when you have a lot to purchase.”

“If you need something in large quantities….”

“Did you hear that the monster wave broke out recently?”

“Monster wave?”

Wayne nodded with a puzzled face at the sudden change of subject.

“I’ve heard the news. Rumors spread to the capital that a big monster wave occurred in Winterfell. I was a little worried, but looking at your faces now, it seems to have been resolved well.”

“Thanks to that, I got a lot of monster byproducts. I intend to sell it.”

“……What?”
