Chapter 05
Listening to the aide’s words, a memory of Yvonne came to mind.
Yvonne, who was especially specialized in fire magic among all magic, was not satisfied with just making explosives, but was also enthusiastic about burning documents and objects herself.
‘Yvonne really burned a lot of things here and there all this time.’
I have to carry this past with me as well.
After clearing my throat once, I calmly promised the aide.
“I won’t burn them.”
“Is that true?”
“I’m telling you it’s real.”
I answered sincerely.
‘I don’t even know how to use magic right now, so how would I burn them.’
To the aide who didn’t believe me, I spoke desperately.
However, because Yvonne’s voice was originally on the sharp side, the aide, misunderstanding that I was angry, was horrified.
“T-Then, work hard!”
…And he left immediately.
Looking at the door through which the aide had fled, I scoffed in disbelief.
“Why is he so scared like that.”
Tired of the reactions of those who were scared of me way too much, I clicked my tongue.
Even if I stay still doing nothing, everyone is afraid.
But after thinking about it a little, it seemed okay too.
‘If they avoid me on their own, I’m thankful.’
I laughed self-deprecatingly.
Originally, my complex about having nothing and not even having a family was so severe that I acted with a low posture toward people.
My school days were the same.
Even in the company I joined immediately after becoming twenty upon graduating high school, they considered me someone easy to ignore and exploit.
It must all be because of my attitude.
‘Now it’s a different life.’
Since it is difficult for a person to change in an instant, I haven’t adapted perfectly yet, but I am Princess Yvonne Argenthose.
Although relationships are very twisted, having a family and possessing a lot, for now, are conditions much better than before.
I even like the setting that Yvonne was not a pushover in personality.
Having received the punishment of paperwork from the Duke yesterday, I realized that I cannot obtain a lazy and peaceful life for free in this world either through house arrest.
So, until late at night, I recalled detailed memories and organized the current point in time where I possessed Yvonne by referring to the original work.
Currently, the male lead Crown Prince Adrian and the female lead Princess Cordelia have just returned from the battlefield.
Although Cordelia Mare is an illegitimate Princess of the Mare Kingdom, it was the time when she proved her ability on the battlefield and began to date Crown Prince Adrian in earnest.
‘It can be said to be after the middle part of the original work.’
The content of the early to middle part of the novel is the female lead’s unfortunate past and growth, and the fight alongside the male lead met on the battlefield.
As the relationship between the female lead and male lead, who returned to the Belvent Empire on good terms, seemed unusual, Yvonne, unable to hold back her jealousy, throws a bomb in anger.
And Yvonne begins to torment the female lead Cordelia in earnest.
‘It would have been better if I possessed her before throwing the bomb.’
Honestly feeling regretful, I smacked my lips.
There are many novels that go into cute childcare stories by possessing the character from childhood!
Why did I have to possess her in this difficult situation and timing of all things.
‘It can’t be helped.’
The bomb-throwing event can’t be helped, but from now on, it’s different.
Not only have I not become a blackened Grand Warlock yet, but I have also never tormented the female lead since then.
I just have to worry about what to do and how to do it with these tremendous stats to eat well and live well.
However, there is a big problem I had dismissed as nothing special.
That I genuinely do not know how to use magic.
I was so scared that maybe I couldn’t use magic because I became Yvonne.
Moreover, there is another unexpected ambush,
That is exactly…
“Foolish Yvonne who loved only magic!”
I ground my teeth, blaming Yvonne who walked only the single path of magic.
The problem was serious.
Information about this world was not properly embedded in Yvonne’s head.
Yvonne’s memories began to merge naturally with me slowly so I came to know, but just as written in the novel, this villainess sister did not learn anything, savoring her own excellence.
Yvonne who knows nothing but magic.
In another sense, you could say her head is a flower field.
Yvonne, who didn’t even know information about her own motherland properly, was just a pretty mage villainess sister with a good body.
It would be correct to summarize her as an eccentric genius who is smart but hates studying.
“Haa.”
A sigh flows out automatically.
In a situation where I don’t even know how to use magic right now, since I know nothing, there is only one hill for me to rub against (rely on).
There is only this well-off Duke of Argenthose family.
Since Yvonne’s position in this family is very shabby, I must somehow improve the relationship with the scary Duke and the Young Duke Varden, the successor who is detestable (unlucky).
‘What to do.’
Sighing gloomily, I looked at the documents piled up like a mountain.
My hand went to the documents habitually.
Hm. The habit of being very close with documents for 5 years hasn’t changed.
“Sickening, really. It’s an ill-fated relationship, us too.”
I smiled crookedly toward the documents densely written with letters.
Even in the cutting-edge era where everything is digitized, my senior, including our boss, made us print and keep all documents as paper documents until the end.
They are people who are very old-fashioned and have no interest in nature conservation.
And organizing the printed documents in order was also my share, working for low pay.
Trying to shake off the gloomy past and concentrating on the documents, I frowned.
“Umm.”
The Argenthose family operates a magic artifact sales merchant guild named ‘Hose.’
These documents are records related to the sales performance of magic items sold from January to last May of this year at a branch called ‘Marta’ among them.
Barely rummaging through Yvonne’s scant basic knowledge to think, Marta was a place at the northwestern end where there were many monster hunters.
The volume of documents was large only because there were many trivial lists sold such as teleportation scrolls, healing potions, pathfinding artifacts, elemental magic enhancers, etc., but the content was very simple.
‘It could be organized easily. Only the content is large, it’s nothing special? Why is it disorganized like this?’
I was so dumbfounded that a sigh came out automatically.
According to the aide’s explanation, I just have to check this sales list and organize whether there are errors or not.
‘Who organizes and brings a sales list like this?!’
Reading through the documents just written in strings in chronological order, I realized that it was really an easier and simpler task than I thought.
Oh my god. This body shall organize it for you.
‘This is exactly modern civilization, Excel! The power of tables!’
Eyes flashing brightly like a hero who came to spread modern civilization, I placed a blank paper on the right and started turning the documents at a fast speed.
Whirik whirik.
Although I was upset that the speed of turning documents became a bit slower after resting for a week, I soon found my original speed.
There are a total of twelve shops where the Hose Merchant Guild supplies goods to the Marta Branch.
I wrote the names of the twelve shops from column 1 to column 12, and wrote the sales items straight from row 1.
And to organize by month, I made five sheets exactly the same from January to May.
From now on, checking the items written in strings on the documents and organizing them is the end.
‘Huhu.’
As I concentrated, I got a little excited.
And doing simple work, my complicated mood became calmly organized and comfortable.
Five hours of stabilizing my anxious heart due to magic and concentrating.
I worked hard, forgetting even to eat. Before long, putting down the pen, I blinked in confusion.
“What… It’s already all finished?”
What happened to the aide’s words who confidently asserted that I would have to sit for a few more days?
‘The aide is quite an exaggerator.’
After clicking my tongue tsk tsk, I placed the documents, summarized and organized into a few sheets, on the aide’s desk.
Following my usual habit, I matched even the angle of the documents well and finished organizing around the desk neatly.
Since the aide did not return after going to work at the Magic Tower following the Duke, there was no one in particular to report my clock-out to.
Although I finished all the work, I thought I should come tomorrow as well and somehow stamp my attendance (make my presence known) to the Duke.
‘And… paperwork might not end with this.’
Well, it doesn’t matter.
If it’s this amount of work, it was very satisfactory, and besides, getting off work is early too.
There is no commuting hell subway or hell bus transfer either.
Although the Duke and Varden living together were a bit scary, they are excellent superiors just for not calling me out while working, at least.
‘And above all, the welfare here is too good.’
In terms of work-life balance, it is top tier.
‘Hehe.’
I smiled contentedly, thinking of the aesthetician who would be waiting in my room.
I should hurry and get a cool and fantastic massage.
And what shall I eat for dinner tonight? The Argenthose mansion chef, who cannot make a dish he cannot make, is also the best.
Coming out of the office smiling foolishly, my dedicated maid waiting in front of it met my eyes and flinched her shoulders, perhaps terrified again.
‘When will this friend get better.’
Perhaps because I am gradually adapting to this status and situation, it became bothersome to explain to the maid that she doesn’t need to tremble like that.
Instead, I firmly explained my mood.
My mood right now is…
“Meat.”
“Yes!!!”
Watching the back of the maid dashing toward the kitchen vacantly, I felt a little sorry.
Was I too cold?
I should have said, ‘I want to eat meat.’
I regretted it slightly, but while eating the meat dish the maid quickly conveyed to the kitchen and brought to my room, I realized that was a useless worry.
Anyway, whether I say it long or short, meat is always delicious.
Moreover, meat eaten after a bit of labor is more delicious, and life satisfaction also went up more.
Right, helping with even these menial chores somehow, I will survive hard in this Argenthose Company (?).
Nyam nyam, delicious, meat.
That night.
“…Yvonne did this?”
“Yes, Duke. Isn’t the idea too, surprising?”
As the aide exhaled nasal breaths in extreme excitement, Duke Argenthose, feeling burdened, stepped back slightly.
And he looked at the documents held in his hand again.
‘I knew Yvonne was bright, but what on earth is this?!’
Engulfed in shock, the Duke’s pupils shook wildly.
“I cannot believe it.”
