32. Prior research is essential before robbing.
Madame who can be said to be the president of Frida, the largest clothing store in the empire.
The nasolabial folds on the face and the twitching corners of the mouth are full of greed. Her overall appearance resembles the so-called devil’s grandmother. She is over 40 years old.
Frances looked over at her madam, covering her mouth with a fan.
“I’d like to entrust you with ordering for the first time in a while, isn’t there any problem?”
“Of course! Princess Descartes is entrusting you with it, so of course you have to do it!”
Madame rubbed her palms and licked her lips. She must have been excited at the thought of the Descartes duke stealing her money. She doesn’t know what awaits ahead.
“I want to go to the dressing room and talk about the details.”
“I’ll see you right away! Please go upstairs!”
Frances glanced back at her and sent her eyes. She meant to follow. I nodded and whispered to Kazar, who was looking at the dress.
“Let’s stop watching and go up.”
“Oh, yes.”
Kazar couldn’t take his eyes off the decorated dress as if he still had some lingering feelings.
“There are better dresses out there, look at them.”
Only then did Kazar let go of her lingering feelings with her eyes twinkling. It must have been a pity that she couldn’t wear a nice dress in her hometown.
‘If I start a clothing business, I’ll have to give him some.’
Said Frances.
From noble mtl dot com
“Aren’t you following me?”
“Go!”
So I followed Frances with Kazar and went up her stairs. Upstairs, there were more fancy and luxurious dresses, and there was also a section specializing in jewelry and trinkets.
Kazar whispered in my ear.
“Wow, the clothing store in the real imperial capital is amazing.”
“Only here is great.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Because of this, they must have secured clothing stores throughout the empire.”
I was thinking of making a franchise myself. When I think about it again, Madam is a person who is good at business.
‘But, well, until now… ….’
There is still a chance to capture the brand Frida. It’s still only dealing with clothing, jewelry, and trinkets. It’s only a matter of time before I get to eat it, as I’m going to grow a lot more here and miss the core of the most important apparel business.
France and Madame started a conversation.
“What kind of dress does the princess want, so do you have it custom-made?”
“To order a dress to wear to the next imperial party. I want a black dress that matches me.”
The madam raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
“It’s a black dress, it’s a simple matter! Please tell me in detail what shape you want!”
While Frances was talking about dresses with Madame, I looked around the store. A lot of professional craftsmen were also hired, and the number of jewels was overwhelmingly high.
Kha-Zar roamed from place to place like a child, his eyes twinkling. Why are you acting like that? I stuck to her and whispered to her.
“Don’t be too excited. Because I came with the princess now.”
“Isn’t it okay to take a look?”
“You look too much.”
“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a dress like this… ….”
Kazar, her shoulders drooping.
“I’ll pick you up an amazing dress later, so look forward to that.”
“Really?”
“Yes. It is a present for Lady Uplane, who joined the France Corporation.”
Kazar’s face crumples again when he mentions the France Corporation. No, what about France Corporation?
“What the hell are you pushing for that weird name?”
“The top name we will build.”
“I don’t think anyone will use our caravan.”
You don’t have to say it with such a serious expression.
“Kuhm. Anyway. Keep your dignity now. Because our actions also affect the princess’s dignity.”
Kha-Zar nodded her head quietly. And she got behind Frances again. She was still chatting about the dress.
“Anyway. I want to make a dress like this.”
“This may take some time, but no problem! One of our creators is a great creator!”
“That’s a relief.”
Francese spreads her fan and covers her mouth. Are those the basic qualities of an aristocratic lady?
“By when can I set the time?”
“If it is before the imperial party, it will be a month.”
“One month is enough!”
First of all, I succeeded in bringing the conversation to this point. The rest is just Frances saying she wants to visit the factory. I approached Frances and muttered.
“I need to know where the factory is located.”
“I know.”
France looked over at the madam again and said.
“I want one thing before you pay.”
“Which is it?”
“I want to watch the process of making my dress.”
“… Yes?”
Tak. Frances folded her fan and clapped her hand against her.
“You said you wanted to see the production process. Are there any problems?”
The madam’s face distorted as if in trouble when we talked about the main topic.
“I’m very sorry, but I can’t show you the production process… ….”
“Why?”
“Production is being done elsewhere, but it’s not a place the princess would go to…….”
Frances opened her eyes shallowly and glared at her madam.
“Isn’t that a matter for me to judge?”
A madam wiggling her fingers while avoiding her gaze. Also, I see there’s something catchy.
“I will say it again. I would love to see the process of making my dress.”
There is no way to escape, so accept it. Level of intimidation. Madame answered with her lips fading.
“Okay, then I’ll make a schedule.”
“No, I want to go see it right now.”
“… ….”
Yes, Frances. Good judgment.
A madam with a really troubled expression. She must have intended to show somewhere other than the factory where ‘a thousand talents met with misfortune’ were being exploited. That would be impossible Because we’re going in right now.
As long as we find out the location of the factory, we plan to escape and bring a large number of exploited workers to our side, but the most important thing is the ‘talent of gold that met misfortune’. With the fall of Frieda, he is the one who will lift the France Corporation to the sky.
Said Frances.
“Are there any difficulties?”
“That’s not true, but… ….”
“Then can you let me see the production process?”
“Okay. Instead, there’s a bit of distance, is that okay?”
“Yes.”
I whispered to Frances. After hearing her contents, she nodded her head saying okay.
“Madam.”
“Yes, yes?”
“I’m telling you just in case you don’t know, but you already know what the madam is trying to hide, so it’s better not to think nonsense.”
“Yes? What is that… ?”
“I want to meet a real maker who will make my dress.”
“… !”
I could see the emotion on the madam’s face as if a large weight had been dropped into a lake. Based on the reaction, it seems that they were thinking of taking it to another factory.
“You understand what I mean, right?”
“… ….”
Knock. Madame salivates heavily as if swallowing a rock. He nodded his head with a hardened face.
“… All right. Then go.”
There are many reasons why the madam does not want to show the factory. The main factory is literally a scene of exploitation. All the workers are overworked and not even paid properly. What noble would care about that, this is a secret the madam wanted to hide.
Because I wouldn’t want to show that this is what Frieda, the biggest and most famous person in the empire, has.
And, she probably didn’t want to show anyone her ‘talented talent of gold’, which can be said to be the core and essence of Frida. It is an established fact that without him, Frieda would fall.
This is the truth about Frida, the best clothing store in the empire.
There was a time when I had a temper while clearing this quest, asking why there are all these f*cking factories. It’s a story that could actually exist, so there’s no such thing as too much immersion.
“Go away.”
We boarded Madame’s carriage. Madam and I sat together, France and Kazar sat together.
The madam opened the front window and spoke to the coachman.
“… To the first factory.”
“Yes.”
It’s rattled. The carriage started. On the way, the madam asked.
“Princess, would it be okay if I ask why you want to see the production process… ?”
“Why, is there something I shouldn’t see?”
“No, but just curious… ….”
Frances laughed as she tilted her head to the side.
“I am simply curious.”
Oh, that arrogant expression that wasn’t enough to smile as he tilted his head. It was the villain you see in the game itself.
‘I often bullied Somire with that face.’
When I think of that time, I miss the life of 1 million mu-tuber Kim Gong-ryak. I can’t say it’s a healthy life, but I sleep when I want to sleep, eat when I want to eat, and broadcast when I want to broadcast.
Thinking about the past makes me bitter. I looked out the window to change my mood. But nothing changed. I struggled to hold back a sigh.
‘I have a lot of random thoughts,’
Kazar wanted to do something, so she turned her head and was staring out the window. Well, the lady of the country baron probably isn’t used to this kind of situation. Even her life could not be seen as that of an aristocrat.
And one more. The atmosphere inside the wagon right now is unusual. From France, who is tapping her hand with a fan, to Madame, who maintains an anxious expression.
A heavy atmosphere creates silence, and a strange tension arises in that silence.
I am also uncomfortable, but how uncomfortable would Kazaar be?
How much time had passed in such an uncomfortable atmosphere. The carriage stopped.
“I have arrived.”
I immediately opened the door and went downstairs to hold her hand. Everyone got off and looked around.
Judging from the deserted streets, it seemed to be the border area of the ecliptic. In the front, I saw a large wooden mansion, and next to it were a few small warehouse-like buildings.
The madam said.
“I think so.”
“Are you really making clothes in a place like this?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm.”
France looked at the madam and smiled.
“Madam. Don’t worry too much. I simply want to see how my costumes are made. It’s none of my business what’s going on here or what Madam is doing, right?”
Madame nodded her head as her somewhat rigid face finally loosened at France’s words.
“… Then go inside. I will show you the process of making the dress that the princess ordered. You can only see the beginning, would you mind?”
France answered, “Yes,” And covered her mouth with a fan. I’m sure that’s the basic qualifications of an aristocratic lady.
When I went inside, it was the same scene I saw in the game. One person at each desk, each sewing. Like one, the eyes are cloudy, and the bottom of the eyes is dark.
Workers lost their senses and moving only by inertia. Didn’t even notice we came.
‘If this isn’t a slave, what is it?’
They did not come because they sinned. They came here because of their own circumstances, and the only thing they knew how to do was make clothes.
Frida was the only clothing store in the Empire where she could work.
It’s not like I can afford to take care of others while I can’t even properly prepare my own rice bowl, but anyone who sees this scene can’t help but be angry.
The nobility of this world, Frances and Kazar, also frowned and rolled their eyes as if this scene did not look good.
The madam said.
“The makers of custom orders are on the inside.”
We walked after Madame. I arrived inside and saw a man sitting in a chair at a large desk and working while half asleep.
Crunchy blonde hair and lifeless red eyes. Age is mid 20’s. Even though he is not in good condition, he has a handsome face like a game for women.
The talent of a thousand gold faced with misfortune.
‘Andrea.’
He is the person who will make France Corporation’s apparel business a success.
