26 – Red Garden Landscaper 12

“Huh… ”

The two of them fell asleep in front of them after their passionate play.

Watching them, Bertina was lying on the bed with a quiet smile.

‘Anyway, he’s a mischievous man… To play with a woman’s heart like that…’

I knew about Isolda after hearing about it from Bahamut.

Lee Sol, who approached for the purpose of stealing his property, was defeated and became a slave.

In the meantime, she said that she had always hated Bahamut… But the two people Bertina saw today did not simply look like a master and a slave who hated him.

‘Well… even when I first met Bahamut, I didn’t expect a relationship like this to happen…’

Although it started through defeat and intimidation, even for Bertina now, Bahamut was not simply the owner holding her leash.

A person who has the ability to defeat her, and at the same time predicts the future and moves the situation accordingly. At the same time, Bertina was already deeply immersed in his charm, who knew how to read a woman’s mind and manipulate her mind.

‘In that respect… maybe you and I might become competitors. Still, he was once considered my successor.. Interestingly, this relationship ended.

With that thought in mind, Bertina cautiously approached Bahamut, who was sleeping next to her.

A lovely owner who made me forget the remnants of my husband…

After lightly kissing him on the forehead that allowed her to say the title ‘you’ again, Bertina put a sweet smile on her lips.

“Welcome, Mr. Lee Solda Evergarden.”

“Nice to meet you. Please do well in the future.”

Isolda stood in front of the building, feeling a bit uncomfortable in the uniform she hadn’t worn in a while.

Those who greeted her from the entrance.

All of them were key employees of the Beden Merchant Company that Lee Solda thought would one day be purged, but to Isolda now, they were colleagues who would work together with her in the future and people who had the potential to become her ‘friends’ in the future.

“I’ve heard the story. From today, Isolda Evergarden, who will manage the administration of the Merchant Beden here. I met these people in the past through bad luck. From now on, I swear here that I will do my best to wash away that blemish and at the same time raise Beden to the top spot.”

It is Lee Sol who proudly declares with sincerity.

Although, there were still those who looked at her uneasy like this.

However, while feeling their gaze, Isolda did not show an inch of shaking.

Because in her mind, the future direction was already decided.

It is the right way to confidently say that you are not ashamed of anyone and that you will not hurt anyone.

It was clear that it would not be an easy road.

The way she walked in the past… even though it drove countless people to pain, the efficiency was definitely outstanding. That’s why Isolda’s parents showed her the way, and Isolda herself was the one who knew the validity of it.

But.. even if it feels slow and difficult…

Isolda decided to move forward believing in this direction she would pioneer in the future.

in order to be able to apologize.

in the distant future

for her sins.

So that I can ask for forgiveness in front of them.

To be a little proud of myself.

‘We’re starting over from now on. Never really walked in the right direction.. from scratch.. but… Previously..’

“Here you are.”

“Yes, this is the price. 3000 silver coins. You can check it.”

A man handing over his pocket while talking in a gruff voice.

After checking the coin right in front of him, the girl bowed her head with a smile on her face.

“thank you. I definitely got it with this one. Goodbye then.”

The girl who wants to leave the trading house with that horse.

Then, a voice filled with a little regret began to be heard from behind her.

“Um… Um… are you really quitting? If you do something, you can raise the price a little more.”

“Yes, I got a new job. Even if I’m not there, there won’t be any big problems because I’ve taken over.”

A girl who leaves without regret while talking in a bright voice.

Looking at her back, the man let out a small sigh with a bitter expression on his face.

“That’s a problem because it isn’t…”

The most important thing for a merchant is credit.

Meeting someone who is clear can sometimes become more valuable than money.

Regretting the fact that he lost it, the man began to feel a deep regret for his past, when he took credit lightly.

“Are you done?”

“Yes! With this, we are finished.”

A woman standing in front of…

The man she had once been her enemy, the one she longed to kill.

But..

Now her dearest friend.. that person.

Isolda Evergarden.

looking at her

The girl, Yuria Sweets, showed a bright smile on her lips.

“By the way… are you really going to take me with you? Someone like me is really at the top of Beden..”

“Then, did you come here after arranging your job without any certainty?”

“Ah.. No, Mr. Lee Solda said, of course that wouldn’t happen…”

“Haa.. really… you still have a lot to learn.”

With a small sigh at the sparsely visible regret, Lee Solda looked into YuRia’s eyes in a calm voice and spoke.

“Listen, this is not the case with spot transactions, but never doubt until you are absolutely sure that a transaction is conducted through verbal or written contracts. In the worst case, even after signing the contract, everything can suddenly become invalid. You should always leave a hole through which you can escape, at least until the last moment when everything is done. Be sure to keep this in mind.”

“Ah yes. Ah.. I see. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind, Mr. Lee Solda!”

In response to Lee Solda’s words, which felt both strict and caring, Yuria responded strongly with a slightly tense voice.

“From now on, you will work as my assistant. It’s about administration, so there’s a lot to learn. Be prepared to suffer enough until you get used to it.”

“Um… .”

“Answer?”

“Yes! All right!”

Yuria answered Lee Solda’s words, alerting herself once more.

Seeing her appearance, a barely visible smile began to form on Isolda’s lips.

‘You’re like me… but… you’ll take a different path from me… a path that leaves no irreversible regrets… a path you can be proud of as being right…’

Although he was similar to himself, he was a strong and broad-minded child who was incomparable to him.

Looking at her, Isolda carefully took something out of her arms.

And..

“Take it.”

“!… . This… this… ”

The moment Lee Solda saw the item, YuRia’s face hardened a little coldly.

For what it was, she still remembered.

And, looking at Yuria like that, Lee Solda spoke to her in a soft voice.

“Don’t worry, as you said, I have no intention of dying yet.”

“Ah.. that.. is so.. right? But why this…”

In addition to being relieved by Lee Solda’s words, Yuria still looks suspicious.

Seeing her like that, Isolda knelt down neatly in front of her and spoke in a calm voice.

“I should make sure that doesn’t happen, but… there is still such a thing as one in ten thousand…”

It’s what you hear in your hand…

Looking at the dagger that she had handed to Yuria earlier to stab her, Isolda continued to speak quietly.

“Now I.. have recognized my faults.. and I am thinking of repaying them even a little bit.. but.. the road I will walk forward will never be an easy one.. maybe.. really maybe.. I will again.. the old days I don’t know if I’ll go back…”

“Isolda..Mr..”

YuRia trembled slightly.

While holding her hand tightly, Isolda spoke to her in a voice filled with determination.

“I beg you.. if that happens… if I really end up like that… then you… use this to stop me… stop me so I don’t hurt others… stop me… can you do that. … will there be?”

“…”

YuRia pondered over Lee Solda’s words for a while.

But soon, as if she had made up her mind, she grabbed the dagger in front of her eyes with a determined expression.

A sharp dagger sleeping in its scabbard.

accepting it…

Yuria said while looking at Isolda.

“… I promise.. I will.. Instead.. I will also ask Lee Solda. From now on… I’ll let you be next to Isolda. So that I don’t pull this out… so that I can help Lee Solda-nim from the side to the end.”

“… Yes.. I promise.. Thank you.. Yuria.”

Having said that, Yuria was placed in Lee Solda’s arms, and Lee Solda also hugged Yuria strongly.

Where there used to be desire, loving-kindness

Forgiveness where there was hatred

And… planting peace where there used to be sadness

In that way, a new and warm wind began to blow in the red eternal garden.
