However, he occasionally took risks, but when he did, he would always be fully prepared, conducting

orough investigations to ensure the most accurate information.

There might be losses. Even if Everfort Granary did not follow the way of her previous life, she wasn’t

worried.

Losing once, twice, or even three times wouldn't break him. As long as he was alive, he had an indomitable

spirit.

This spirit would allow him to achieve great things.

So, Isolde said, “It’s fine. As long as we don’t end up in debt, I'll go crazy with you!”

“We won't, but we might end up with nothing!” Collin said.

Currently, he only used half of his strength to accomplish five-tenths of the work.

But once his ambitions were ignited, he would use all his strength to achieve ten-tenths.

He wouldnt go beyond his limits, so the possibility of debt was small, but the risk of losing everything was

greater.

Isolde patted his shoulder and said, “Go ahead and do it. I've lost everything. There's still the village to rely on.

Morcover, as a princess, the King will at least ensure | have food to eat.”

In other words, she would likely receive a fief, though the official decree hadn't been issued yet.

When Collin heard this, he felt a surge of passion. His long-suppressed ambitions were ignited by Isolde.

He said excitedly. “With your words, I'll go all out!”

Isolde smiled, “Ctoanytyou need me.”

“Definitely!” Collin said.

There was no wine in the shop, so Collin ordered a servant to bring coffee. He handed a cup to Isolde and. held

one himself. The sunlight slanting through the shop door made his eyes shine. He raised his cup and declared, “I

swear, within ten years, Everfort Granary’s branches will spread across the entire country!”

Isolde clinked her cup with his. “To Everfort Granary!”

Today was the 10th day of the 10th month in the 17th year of the King.

After drinking this cup of coffee, Isolde said to Collin, ‘Let's draw up a contract. The profit split will be said earlier,

but I won't make an appearance. Don’t publicly announce that | have as Granary.”

“Why is that?” Collin did not understand. Although she was conferred the title of Marshal, she was also a

princess. These businesses were left to her by her mother and had no ties to court interests. Why couldn't it be

known?

Collin understood what she meant. She was about to make a big move. She did not want anyone to know that

Everfort Granary had her share, lest they target it to strike at her.

The contract was dated the tenth day of the tenth month. Isolde signed her name, stamped her seal, and

pressed her fingerprint, officially becoming a partner of Everfort Granary.

The King’s decree was issued, and Ashley entered the palace on the 21st of October.

This meant she still had to stay at the Valen residence for eleven more days.

Ashley quickly becfamiliar with Margaret, and the two grew quite close. At one point, Ashley even hinted at

wanting to recognize Margaret as her godmother.

Margaret considered it but ultimately didn’t take the bait.

Margaret had a sister who was a concubine in the palace, so she didn’t lack connections to powerful figures

in the court.

Moreover, dealing with people in the palace wasn’t easy. Sometimes, she would even beg you.

Ashley knew her thoughts. Margaret, with her nose in the air, would never look favorably upon a commoner like

her, the newly appointed Concubine.

She was not in a hurry.

She still had ten days to make good use of

After finishing her tasks, Isolde finally had sleisure tto rest at home.

The Sharp family sent her many tonics, saying that she had been injured repeatedly and her health was poor, so

she needed to replenish her strength.

The three-year curse still loomed over the Sharp family. No one mentioned it, but everyone felt its weight. Not

talking about it didn’t mean it wouldn't happen. They could only use various methods to prolong the inevitable.

While Isolde was at home, Ashley visited her every day.

In truth, she and Isolde didn’t have much to talk about, but she cearly every morning and stayed in Isolde’s

room until noon.

Although Isolde didn’t like Ashley, she couldn't just kick Ashley out.

With Hattie and Hazel in the Ningser Pavilion, no one could pry into its affairs.

After two or three days of this, Margaret couldn't sit still anymore.

She looked down on Ashley, so she had no interest in forming an alliance with her. L he also couldn't just watch

as Ashley leaned toward Isolde.

Her reluctance to get close to Ashley wasn’t because she thought Ashley lacked ability. On the contrary, Ashley

had killed Kamari and taken his head. Her courage and determination were extraordinary.

The reason Margaret didn’t want to associate with Ashley was that Ashley would eventually have to compete

with Margaret's sister for favors.

She didn’t want to be put in a difficult position.

Now that Ashley was getting close to Isolde, Margaret felt uneasy.

After much deliberation, she sent someone to invite Ashley over.

This time, Margaret didn’t put on an air of superiority. Instead, she wore a warm smile as she watched. Ashley

gracefully enter

Ashley was far too clever. Seeing Margaret's expression, she knew her plan had succeeded.

Margaret asked about Ashley’s family, and Ashley answered each question in detail.

When she learned that Ashley was the granddaughter of Finnian, Margaret was taken aback. “You're the

granddaughter of Finnian?”

“Yes, Mrs. Valen!” Ashley replied humbly.

Margaret knew of Finnian, but she hadn't realized that Ashley was his granddaughter. She had only heard. that

Ashley was the granddaughter of a famous scholar from Zloimond and hadn’t made the connection to Finnian.

She knew that the King had repeatedly ordered people to invite Finnian into the court.

Margaret straightened her expression and smiled sincerely, “So you're the granddaughter of Finnian. My

apologies for not recognizing you earlier.”

Ashley smiled and said nothing.

Margaret said, “I've always wanted to meet Finnian, but I've never had the chance. If he comes to Argentum in

the future, | hope you'll introduce us.”

“Mrs. Valen, you're too kind. If Finnian comes to Argentum, I'll certainly invite him to visit the Valen residence,”

Ashley said.

Margaret coughed lightly, and the maid behind her smiled and said, “Madam, since Ashley is leaving for the

palace from the Valen residence, you could consider her your daughter. That would make you and Ashley

relatives, so you will meet Finnian.”

Margaret scolded jokingly, “Shut up. Ashley is a noble of the palace. How could | dare to be her mother?”

Ashley didn’t put on airs. She quickly stood up and curtsied, “If you don’t mind, | would truly like to recognize

you as my godmother.”

Margaret looked at her, her face filled with pleasant surprise, “Really? You're willing to be my daughter?”

When Ashley heard this, she knelt down shyly. “Mother. I, Ashley, pay my respects to Mother!”

Margaret was overjoyed and hurriedly said to the maid, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help Ashley

up!”

The maid immediately went forward to help Ashley up. “Please stand up. Even if you've recognized Mrs. Valen as

your mother, such a gesture is unnecessary. You are now the King’s noble concubine.”
