How the Villainous Consort Avoids His Death Ending - Chapter 27.1
❖ ❖ ❖
“I-I am here! I came to pay my respects to Your Highness, Grand Consort. I mean no other purpose, I swear it on God, Your Highness!”
Fortunately, Sawyer quickly regained his composure. Despite trembling, he began to speak rapidly, gathering his thoughts.
“As I mentioned, I have recently become independent and started a small trading company. Because of my background, I could not handle goods suitable for presentation to the nobles, so I had no connection with the exchange.”
“So? What is your conclusion?”
He is saying it……
Today, Tristan seemed unusually sharp. Our Grand Duke is normally not such a quick-tempered person. I felt unnecessarily apologetic toward Sawyer.
“Y-Yes, Your Highness. To get straight to the point, I happened to overhear a conversation at the exchange a little while ago. It seemed that you intended to sell wool brought from the Northern Continent. Is that correct?”
“Why ask such a thing? Are you trying to mock the Grand Consort, Your Highness?”
“Do you think your life has nine lives or something?”
Sir Mildred and Gehardt approached the anxious Sawyer and growled. I gestured to Tristan to intervene, but he only furrowed his brows further. What exactly is everyone so upset about?
It seemed as though they wanted to vent their anger over the Northern Continent trade fiasco onto Sawyer instead of me. I stomped my foot nervously in the middle.
“Could you, um, show that wool to our guild? If the goods are good, we would like to purchase them!”
Amidst all this, Sawyer spoke steadfastly. The knights, who had been acting aggressively, suddenly shut their mouths.
“……I want to hear the details.”
After an awkward silence, Tristan spoke quietly. His tone was calmer than before. Sawyer quickly continued explaining.
“Though the higher-ups may not care at all, Northern Continent wool has developed some reputation among us. People in the city, I mean commoners, are quite interested in Northern Continent products. Silk may look nice, but it is not very warm. Furs are extremely expensive and, frankly, in the Rubyere Empire’s pleasant weather, they cannot be worn for long.”
“So you want to purchase the Northern Continent wool?”
“Yes, of course. If the goods are reliable, we want to buy everything! Perhaps because of your poor reputation, few trading companies visit, so proper sales channels were not established. If I had the funds, I would even personally sail to the Northern Continent. But the young master of Elsworth……”
“He is the Grand Consort of Hezekia. Not Elsworth.”
“Oh? Ah, yes. My apologies. I merely heard that the Grand Consort possessed the goods and thought that, as expected, you have excellent taste.”
Then I suddenly remembered where I had seen Sawyer’s name. The system, which had been unresponsive, finally popped up the status window.
[Checking the status window of the supporting character Sawyer in <Chronicles of the Sword>.] Name: Sawyer, son of Penn (27), future Sawyer Penson Position: Current head of the Penson Trading Company, future guild master of the Penson Guild Nickname: Empire’s first commoner tycoon, Penson’s major financier, Hezekia’s adversary Abilities: Health 61 Agility 64 Strength 39 Intelligence 82 Charm 57 Fame 0 Traits: “Eye for market trends,” “Far-sighted,” “Blinded by love,” “Diligent,” “Hardworking,” “Unrequited love,” “Pure love” Keywords: #GoldenHands #RevengeVillainSeedling #SupportingVillainYoungster #Extra_Level_ObsessiveMagicUser_Hopeful #Helper_Potential So, you have met Sawyer, the first-tier contributor who helped Everett destroy Hezekia. But life is unpredictable. Who knows? In this life, he might cooperate with the user instead of Everett. He could be reborn not as the first-tier contributor to Hezekia’s destruction, but as the greatest contributor to Hezekia’s prosperity.
It was certain. In the original story, after Ruellin was executed by Tristan, this commoner merchant had sought Everett, intending to hand over all of Hezekia.
Sawyer had the ability to do so. Ten or so years later, he became the tycoon controlling Belforte’s commerce.
