I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

Kayneth let out a small sigh and left the Spey One clothing store with Rosen.

and… … .

“Yes, just turn right from this side.”

I explained to the coachman the location of the Arden Clothing Store.

An outlying area quite far from the center of the islands.

“… … It’s a little far.”

Rosen’s expression hardened slightly.

It’s definitely 30 minutes away from the center, so if it’s far, I’d say it’s far.

“The competition to get into the main street was so fierce. As a result, I moved out of the suburbs where I was less competitive.”

“okay.”

It has been a long time since the main street has been fiercely competing with large-scale merchants. Even belatedly, if you open a store on the main street, it will collapse in an instant.

The carriage, which got out of the main street, finally stopped in front of the building of the Ardennes clothing store.

“oh… … .”

The moment Rosen saw the exterior of the building, he clapped lightly.

“I don’t think I’ll fall for the Spey One apparel store at all.”

“There are still many areas missing. At least it was far from the center, so I was able to purchase the land at a low price. Then, after demolishing the old building that remained on the land, we built a new building and opened the store.”

The first and second floors were used as stores, and the third floor was used as an office or rest area for employees.

Rosen nodded once at Keynes’ explanation.

Then, as soon as I entered the store, a middle-aged man in a suit came out to meet me with the sound of a bell.

“welcome.”

The man who bowed his head at a 45 degree angle towards Keynes and Rosen was none other than the manager of this store. It was a man named Aaron.

“You are looking for… … . young master?”

“Yeah, it hurts. And now, I am not ‘Bocchan’, but ‘Viscount’.”

Kayneth smiled a little at Aaron’s surprised expression.

Aaron was living in a shack in a slum until just two years ago. He got a job at the Ardennes store and became an employee at an Ardennes clothing store that only handles high-end items.

And he was quickly promoted to the position of manager, and he is the de facto head of the Ardennes organization.

He looked puzzled at the appearance of Viscount Kayneth L. Ardenne and cautiously asked a question.

“What happened today… … .”

“A senior at the academy said he wanted to drop by. Let me show you the finest dresses and accessories favored by aristocrats these days.”

“… … We will prepare it right away.”

Aaron showed off his professional look and called the staff to introduce the finest dresses and accessories. These days, they are the most favored products by noble ladies.

Even the names of artisans who designed and crafted dresses and accessories were only masters who could not be known by nobles.

Have you ever heard of a familiar name?

Rosen looked at Kayneth with admiration.

“All of them are top-notch designers and craftsmen in the empire, right?! Did you sign a contract with them all?”

Kayneth was a little surprised by her reaction, but smiled a little.

“It was possible thanks to the competent person who oversees the business.”

“Even if you are not humble about that part… … .”

“no. This isn’t humility. I only exercise the right to make final decisions on important matters. All other parts have been handed over to the general manager of the Chamber of Commerce.”

Kenneth cut it off and answered. This is because he did not want to make his subordinate’s ball his own.

Then she let out a small exclamation.

“If the story is true, then it seems that the commander-in-chief is really competent. I really want to meet you.”

“I’ll introduce you later if I get a chance.”

Rosen smiled and immediately turned to the dress and accessories.

She started looking at the products one by one.

“Oh, this design isn’t bad either. Besides, I like the color. I should have bought it in moderation at the Spayone clothing store… … .”

Even though she said it in such a regrettable tone, she spent a whopping 215 gold coins.

She bought one pair of shoes and two dresses. And jewel-encrusted accessories.

“Next time, I should try to find the Arden clothing store first rather than the Spay One clothing store.”

“If you do, all I can say is thank you.”

Among the nobles, she, who is a big hand, becomes a customer.

Kayneth would have no reason to refuse.

Meanwhile, Aaron, the manager, was startled by the sudden sale of 215 gold coins and began to carefully pack the goods.

And while Rosen was counting with two platinum coins. The women coming down from the second floor met Rosen’s eyes, and soon clapped as if they were happy.

“Oh, aren’t you Her Highness, the 1st Princess of Crantes?”

“You said Her Highness Princess Crantes visited this place?”

“He said he was on the first floor.”

A woman’s remark caused a small commotion on the second floor.

But their eyes were never kind. After all, they are all daughters of the imperial family.

Seeing that, Keynes let out a small sigh and stepped in front of Rosen.

From noble mtl dot com

“nice to see you.”

“Oh, who are you… … .”

At the appearance of Keynes, the young ladies who tried to approach Rosen slightly blushed.

With a height of 160cm, Kaynez has yet to break out of a boyish tee, but he still has a look close to a handsome boy.

He bowed his head to the young ladies and introduced himself.

“I am Kayneth L Arden. He is the one who runs this Ardennes store.”

“Ah, then the third son of the Spey One family… … .”

“Yes that’s right.”

After confirming the identity of Kayneth, the young girls brightened their faces.

But is it because I was with Rosen? Some young ladies had doubts about Keynes and Rosen’s accompaniment.

“I came across it by chance when I was about to stop by the main street.”

“But why come here… … .”

“I just happened to be introducing a clothing store run by our store when Mr. Rosen said he was visiting a clothing store.”

“Oh my, it was. I wonder what Her Highness Princess Crantes bought. Since you are such a noble person, you wouldn’t be satisfied with just a few items. manager? Could you introduce me to the items that Her Highness purchased?”

“Oh, now, please wait a moment.”

A sudden call from the manager.

Ardennes belonged to the upper middle class among apparel brands. If you are an aristocrat or higher than a marquis, you will usually visit top-tier brands to purchase products.

Even more so if it was the eldest daughter of the Crantes family, the head of the aristocratic faction.

However, upon seeing Rosen’s visit to Arden, the young ladies,

‘They say the situation inside the Crantes family is not good… … . Do you think it was real?’

‘I have to properly embarrass myself at this point.’

With that in mind, I checked the catalog Aaron had brought.

And as Aaron pointed out the products one by one, the girls’ faces slowly hardened.

Arden’s top-notch products that are difficult to purchase with their finances. Even though it is a mid-to-higher brand, the reputation of the designer and craftsman and the gems that became the raw material of the product further increased its value.

Rozen looked at the girls’ expressions, then crossed his arms and smiled.

“It looks like I bought too much at the Spey One clothing store a while ago, so I’m going to do just that much at the Arden clothing store. I was just about to visit because I was curious because it was a store run by a junior, but there was a good clothing store like this, right? Ho ho ho ho, I hope you guys like it too.”

Numerous boxes piled up around Rosen. Crantes’s young butler quietly began carrying boxes into the wagon.

After visiting Spey One’s clothing store, Rosen purchased a large amount of products from Arden’s clothing store.

At her wealth, the daughters of the imperial family briefly lowered their heads as their shoulders shrank.

But is it because of some rebelliousness? The young ladies raised their heads with distorted faces and engaged in a fierce snowball fight with Rosen.

And Kayneth, who was watching the scene, let out a small sigh.

‘ha… … . If this happens, all the customers will be blown away.’

Perhaps having read that thought, Rosen quickly smiled and turned his head away.

“I have to go back. Because you have a restaurant reservation. and… … I really enjoyed today. Mr. Keynes.”

Rosen leaves the clothing store with her butler.

She immediately boarded the Crantes family carriage.

And when Rosen left, the ladies’ fierce gaze turned to Keynes, and it seemed that he, an aristocrat of the imperial faction, was very uncomfortable with the way he hung out with the next head of the aristocratic faction.

Realizing that, Kayneth smiled bitterly and obediently lowered her head.

“I sincerely apologize if I have caused you any inconvenience. but… … Please know that all funds used by Her Highness, First Princess Rosen G. Crantes are linked to the sales of Arden. Of course, the same goes for Spey One Corporation.”

“What is that… … .”

“… … Even the next head of the aristocratic faction is a customer to the merchant.”

“Yes, you are not wrong. However, it would be appreciated if you also consider where the generated sales will be used. As Arden and Speyone grow richer, the Emperor faction will become stronger as well. In addition, the bigger the conflict between Spey One and Ardenne, the greater the damage to the noble families.”

The ladies pondered for a moment at Kayneth’s non-excuse, and then nodded.

Because there wasn’t a single story wrong.

“… … Certainly not.”

Kayneth was slightly relieved at the young ladies who seemed to agree.

“Of course, as a merchant who runs a store, I am seeking a lot of personal connections. However, I am a vassal of the third prince of Lyard E Labadian. Arden will always be with His Highness, the Third Prince.”

The third prince of the Labadian Empire. The moment Ryard E Labadian’s name was mentioned, the young ladies had to cast aside their suspicions.

As nobles of the imperial faction, they couldn’t carelessly suspect the vassals of the third prince who supported the crown prince.

“I understand what the Viscount is thinking.”

“Thank you for your understanding. However, I would like to express my deepest apologies for making you feel uncomfortable. If there is anything you want from this store, I will give you at least one as a gift.”

Aaron’s face hardened slightly at Kayneth’s remark.

However, he quickly straightened his expression and handed the catalogs to the ladies one by one.

“No, this far… … .”

“that’s right. You don’t have to do this… … .”

“A minimum reward for hurting you guys. And for me, I’m just honored to be able to give gifts to beautiful people like you. I think this blue diamond necklace would suit Lady Rexle. This necklace… … .”

Keynes gave a detailed explanation of the product.

And for the eight young ladies, necklaces, rings, earrings, dresses, shoes, etc. I received expensive items as gifts.

The total payment amount is 4 platinum coins and 57 gold coins.

Keynes broke out in a cold sweat.

‘Yeah, that’s okay, it’s okay. Compared to the net income you earn per week… … Because it’s cheap.’

Chapter 65

65. Rosen G Krantes (3)

The net proceeds from the auction house alone easily exceeded 30,000 gold coins.

Of course, I received most of them in platinum, but the value won’t change.

How many golds exist in this world? And is it okay to just pour gold and platinum coins into the gold shop?

Kenneth had doubts about that idea several times.

‘First of all, since gold coins are issued and used continentally… … .’

There are currently 29,800 tonnes of officially registered gold on the continent.

It will be less than the gold holdings of every country on Earth.

However, if all 29,800 tons of gold is converted into gold coins, approximately 600 million coins are created.

In addition, gold mines were continuously being discovered, and gold and silver treasures were also secured in a secret place called a dungeon.

but… … .

‘… … If I keep pouring gold coins like this, there might be a problem someday.’

Kayneth sighed and handed five platinum coins to Aaron.

“The change is gone. Hand out the bonuses to the employees, and deal with the rest as usual.”

“Ha, but to say change… … .”

Who would say that 47 gold coins is change?

When Aaron made a puzzled expression, Kayneth waved his hand a few times. As if to handle it properly.

Leaving Aaron behind, Kayneth personally saw off the young ladies.

‘… … I’ll have to exchange the gold coins for platinum at the bank.’

Keynes decided to exchange 1 platinum coin for gold points instead of 100 gold coins.

Surely, his actions would not cause all the gold coins on the continent to run out, but he still needed to think about what if.

The moment I was alone with complicated thoughts, the waiting carriages lined up in front of the store disappeared.

Has it been like 5 minutes?

The Crantes family’s carriage once again appeared in front of the Ardennes clothing store.

with my daughter

“Did everyone go back?”

Keynes laughed bitterly at Rosen’s reappearance.

The person who said he was going back has come back, so I have no choice but to be absurd.

“… … Were you waiting?”

“Sure. Because I wanted to have various conversations with Kayneth in many ways. The shopping is roughly finished, so shall we stop by the cafe and talk?”

At her one-sided suggestion, Kayneth let out a small sigh and nodded.

“Whoa… … . I do. Coincidentally, there is a cafe run by our company around here. Let’s go there.”

“Oh, is this your own store again? Do I have a picky appetite?”

When she smiled mischievously, Keynes said, ‘I’ll have to try to live up to expectations,’ and then walked out of the clothing store.

And he guided her to a cafe located a 3-minute walk from the clothing store.

“Oh, what a pretty looking cafe.”

“This building is also new. And to decorate the interior and exterior with an underwater atmosphere, we hired experts to even proceed with the interior.”

“… … Definitely great. I think it’s a great idea.”
