Chapter 96

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

 

A long line was formed in front of the Royal capital branch of Picott company. Although the store would open tomorrow, they were going to stand in line all night from the day before. 

Hisui uttered “Wow…” with an honest impression while he was a little overwhelmed. 

 

‘But I’ve seen a certain number of people stand in line from a few days before in Japan…’ 

 

While it was too late to do anything this time, when they could wait in line should be shown clearly for the next time. Otherwise, the line would be an obstruction to the stores nearby. 

 

“We have to do something about this, I suppose…” 

“It’s causing trouble to passersby. What should we do — what?” 

“Oh, the line is breaking up at the front.” 

 

The line somehow began to break up and those who stood in line were dispersed. They moved orderly so that Selesina and Hisui got to the store. 

 

“I’m sorry, but I’m afraid we don’t permit to wait in line from the day before. Oh, I’ve been in Count’s care… Thank you.” 

“Well… I understand. I’ll come back tomorrow… See you tomorrow, then.” 

 

They saw Nicholas and some of his employees explain to the customers in line and dissolve the line. 

 

It worked in this case because most people in line were servants of aristocrats. Nicholas could tell from which house they were sent to as he knew a lot of people in his way. 

Servants could do nothing but obey what they were told once they were warned with the name of the family they served for. If not, they might cause something unfavorable to their masters in the future. 

 

‘That’s like Mr. Nicholas!’ 

 

Hisui was also impressed next to Selesina. 

 

“Would you like to greet him?” 

“I had better not, because things can be complicated if I do.” 

“I see.” 

 

Besides, it would be the worst trouble for him who was in the middle of this pressing work if they burst in on him. 

Selesina returned to her mansion with a good feeling of nothing but a big success. 

The next day. 

‘Honey of the great tree’ was sold out as soon as it went on sale. 

 

While it was hard to believe that had happened too fast, it seemed the case actually. Strictly speaking, the numbered tickets for the purchase were all taken in an instant. 

Selesina and Hisui came to the Royal capital branch that was crowded with customers inside although it was spacious. 

She was going to help but it was easy to imagine that the store would be somewhat better off without her when she saw the employees working briskly. 

 

“Lady Selesina! I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, please come into the room!” 

 

Nicholas just turned up when she was wondering what to do. 

 

“Thank you so much.” 

 

Selesina and Hisui were led to the drawing-room in the rear of the store dodging the surging crowd. 

Nicholas Picott was all smiles by the sell-out crowd.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

He was the first one that came to Selin village from outside and had contributed to the village as a merchant. 

He is an excellent person in a refined suit who is gentle-mannered but also passionate. 

 

Selesina talked to him on the sofa, “It was a large crowd yesterday too.” 

 

“Oh, did you happen to see it? Come to think of it, it was a ceremony of blessings yesterday.” 

“Yes, it was. I was very surprised … when I happened to see the long line on my way home from the small shrine.” 

 

Needless to say, there was a line to get in the store today too which was formed with less than half the people compared to yesterday. Even so, it would take about an hour to get inside the store.　

 

Nicholas continued after he said “Please help yourself,” by offering Selesina tea that his secretary had brought. 

 

“To tell you the truth … I have had a hunch that it would go like this. The new product is the honey that is the purveyor to the royal family and its value is added since it’s not from mass production to begin with. 

 

On top of that, they had had a tough time when they sold the hand cream. It seemed that Nicholas had learned a lesson from it. 

He said that getting Honey of the great tree was kind of a status symbol for aristocrats. 

 

‘He’s reliable—!’ 

 

“That’s why everyone wants the honey.” 

“I feel so honored, and hope that they relish it…” 

 

Selesina replied to Nicholas with a wry smile. 

She wished that they wouldn’t use it to assert dominance at a tea party. 

 

‘Or, that’s a kind of event just for me to undertake as a villainess!’ 

 

She would say to the heroine, “This is the honey of the purveyor to the royal family. You can’t afford it, can you?” 

 

‘It sounds like a villain perfectly…’ 

 

While she was thinking she couldn’t do that, Nicholas changed the subject by saying, “By the way.” 

 

“Selin village has gotten so flourishing, hasn’t it?” 

“Yes, it has. I’m so glad many people have moved in. I suppose the number will increase further.” 

“I knew I was right.” 

 

Selesina gave a giggle to Nicholas’ remarks. 

 

“Come to think of it, you decided to came to Selin village because you ate the potato chips.” 

“Yes! That food was evolutionary!” 

 

Nicholas tried the potato chips when Selesina and others sold them for the first time in Harmil. Their good taste moved him enough to open a branch in Selin village. 

It was the most decisive step Nicholas had taken in his life. 

 

“Well, I can’t wait for the next product!” 

“Do you expect more to come!?” 

 

It seemed Nicholas kept having high hopes…[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
