Chapter 18

    Alyssa, who is now used to it, took out her hand towel andid it on the ground. Sitting carefully on top of it, Alyssa stared beyond theke.


    Alyssa, who was staring at theke quietly, looked at Seidrick and spoke carefully.


    “Thank you for yesterday. I did it as you advised, and they really liked it.”


    “That’s good.”


    “So I prepared something, but I couldn’t bring it because I was in a hurry. Well. Instead, why don’t I listen to your concerns?”


    “You don’t have to.”


    Alyssa shook her head despite the gardener’s firm refusal.


    In fact, Alyssa has been on the brink sinceing to Cambridge, hoping that someone will need her. Someone not to forget Alyssa.


    This was the reason why she became so stubborn even though she knew she shouldn’t lean on this good person.


    “No. I might be of use, right?”


    “You won’t understand my concerns.”


    Seidrick said to cut her properly. That said, Alyssa didn’t back down.


    “What is troubling you? Huh? I am a surprisingly broad person. I can understand anything.”


    In the end, Seidrick sighed.


    “…It’s hard because I don’t have money.”


    It was a fairly condensed word of the situation Seidrick was facing, but when he thought about it, it seemed to be a suitable subject for his concerns.


    “Money…? Ah. Do you need money?”


    “I have something to buy for my family, but it’s too expensive.”


    Although the word “for the family” may not be used well by a gardener, Alyssa did not have any doubts. Her heart was filled with excitement because she was about to do something useful to listen to someone’s worries.


    “What to buy… Then how about borrowing money?”


    “Well. Ites with a price.”


    “Then… how about an investment? Invest.”


    Alyssa smiled brightly.


    “I’ll invest in you. Buy what you were buying, and if you make a profit, you can share that profit with me, right?”


    Seidrick took a breath. Invest. He has never heard of such a concept of investment. However, Alyssa is right. If he attracts investors like that, he can buynd and share the burden of investment money.


    “…Because what I want to buy is not very valuable.”


    When Alyssa’s words gave him great enlightenment, Seidrick answered back after gathering his astonished mind. By taking advantage of the status of a gardener, not a duke now.


    “Ah… is it not profitable?”


    “…I want to buy a chicken.”


    He wondered if that was the most appropriate answer. It’s what a poor gardener would buy for his family. Alyssa opened her lips nkly, then epted.


    “If I buy a chicken, how about giving the eggs?”


    “That’s…”


    Seidrick nced at Alyssa. It was a face with widespread willingness to help him buy chickens.


    “…Let’s do that.”


    “Thank you!”


    “I think it’s something I should be grateful for.”


    Seidrick retorted as if he were dumbfounded. She was going to solve his problems and buy him chicken.


    Alyssa smiled vaguely. Unable to understand its meaning, Seidrick turned away from Alyssa. I don’t want to get too involved.


    “Then I will bring money to buy the chicken now. Stay where you are.”


    Alyssa sprang to her feet and started running to the mansion. Because of Alyssa, who was in danger of falling any minute, Seidrick couldn’t move on the spot as if it were really frozen.


    As promised, Alyssa brought in enough money to buy chickens, and Seidrick brought five expensive native chickens to the quiet gardener’s house. Then the real gardener of the Cambridge family looked at his master in amazement.


    “…Duke?”


    “It’s a gift.”


    “Suddenly?”


    “I’ll take the eggs from time to time. That’s all I need.”


    The gardener said,ughing awkwardly.


    “…It looks like it wasn’t just a gift.”


    Seidrick smiled awkwardly too.


    ‘You have to give me eggs once a month, okay?’


    ***


    In fact, it’s not a big deal.


    She just invested a small amount of money in someone and decided to get the eggs back every month for that. However, the little fact that there was someone in need of Alyssa and that helped him excite her.


    She never expected to wait this long to get an egg.


    Besides, today was the day she decided to visit the cemetery with Ophelia and Juliana. It should be a sad day, but she was happy to think that she was a little help to them.


    Alyssa bit her lips.


    “…Are you sad?”


    Sasha asked as she was getting her clothes done.
