Why Are You Obsessed With Your Fake Wife? - Chapter 72.2

At that moment, Wayne’s eyes opened wide.

“What did you just say?”

They got a lot of monster byproducts, so they were thinking of selling it?

It was not easy to understand even though it was a simple sentence. It took him a long time to open his mouth.

“I-In monster meat or blood.… contain a considerable amount of poison and cannot be used.”

“I know.”

“Yes. Of course the Marquis knows better than I do…”

“And I know how to dilute it.”

“……What?”

Wayne asked again, eyes wide.

“Dil– how to dilute it?”

Even he, who has been wandering around the country all his life, has never heard of how to dilute monsters’ poison.

Wayne scrambled on in a panic, and with worry.

“I… Excuse me, but is there a way? If the detoxification is not done properly, it is likely to cause problems in the future. Please think about it again…”

“Did you forget about the thorny herb?”

“Ah.”

A dejected exclamation flowed out of Wayne’s mouth. If the source of the information about how to detox the poison was Nadia, it was a different story.

“Is it Madam who taught you how to dilute it? Well.… Madam, you must have thought about it thoroughly.”

The trust Nadia had built so far had been strong.

Everyone said if she felt the energy of the gold mine under the street, and even if they were ordered to dig, they would follow it.

“Then should I purchase some ingredients to make the antivenin?”

“As expected, you are just as sharp.”

As Glenn looked satisfied, this time Nadia stepped up and delivered the instructions.

“Scallop clams, sunflowers, and… No, I’ll write down a detailed list of items and deliver them. There won’t be any ingredients that are very hard to get… maybe?”

“I will do my best.”

Wayne bowed his head to answer, and Nadia finally smiled contentedly.

“I’m thinking of raising the brokerage fee a little, but you can talk to Edward about the details. Oh, by the way, this is a little reward.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Wayne was a merchant and didn’t mind the money he just received.

He also did not overlook the fact that it was necessary to value his client as an experienced merchant.

“I also have something I want to give Madam as a gift. Please have a look.”

“No, I’m sorry to keep sending you up, but you don’t have to.”

“It’s my sincerity. Please take a look. If you really don’t like it, I’ll take it back.”

As he clapped twice, his staff came with a big box.

Inside it was silk that looked luxurious even at first look.

It was an unusual kind of luxury even for Nadia, who encountered all kinds of luxury goods in the capital.

There was a slight surprise in her eyes.

“It is silk made of yarn woven by the elves of the golden forest. It’s not something anyone can get with money, but I was lucky to get it this time.”

“It must be highly valuable.”

The silk made from the thread of the golden forest was a luxury that even Callaine couldn’t get.

“It looks better on you than on me, so please take it. It’s my sincerity.”

“But…”

It was a precious item to receive. The reward she gave today looks like a penny.

When Nadia showed signs of hesitation, Glenn interrupted and said.

“You can make a party dress with these. I think you can keep it for a long time and use it one day, so you should take it.”

Glenn had given his permission, so there was nothing to wait for.

Wayne hurriedly put the silk down in front of Nadia and bent down.

“Then I take that you will accept it.”

“Your sincerity is very appreciated. First, you should go home and rest. I’ll send someone in a few days.”

“Yes.”

Before Nadia refused to accept it, Wayne quickly greeted the two and exited the hall.

The staff followed Wayne as he walked.

Behind Wayne, who was walking like he was chasing him, exclaimed.

“Master, oh my god, Master!”

“Hmm?”

Wayne turned his head, worried that Nadia might be returning the gift back, and fortunately, it was Nathan, his employee and also his assistant, who called him.

Nathan approached Wayne almost as if he were chasing him. Wayne opened his mouth and asked.

“What’s going on? Lower your voice. We are still inside the castle.”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

“Well, what is it?”

Nathan picked up a gasp of breath for a while and continued.

“That… I was wondering why you gave the silk from the golden forest to Madam. I thought, of course, that it would be a tribute to the Marquis or the previous Marquis.”

“What?”

If it was silk woven by the fairy itself, it was not something that could be obtained with money.

If they wanted to give something precious to a powerful person, wouldn’t it be more beneficial to give such a gift to Glenn, the lord of the Winterfell?

Wayne thought it was a reasonable question, but somehow his expression was strange.

Sure enough, wrath fell immediately.

“You stupid thing! What on earth did you learn from me?”

“What?”

An unexpected rant forced Nathan to stutter.

“Well, if I have made a mistake, please enlighten me.”

“I don’t think you can guess what you misjudged, so I’ll let you know. Do you know how Marquis’ family managed to obtain this much power?”

“The– the Marquis’ family is the highest…”

“Wrong! Tsk tsk, how could a merchant be so… Listen carefully. The first place who holds power in the house is the Madam, the second place is the previous Marquis, and the current lord is in the third place. Do you understand?”
