The Obsessive Second Male Lead Has Gone Wild

“The scumbag that killed her mother.”

Garbage.

Her father’s words were stuck in her head and didn’t leave.

She thought she could feel no more pain, but the hurt cut deep inside her chest.

Tears came out, but she held it in.

“If the experiment succeeds, maybe you’ll recognize me.”

If my mother came back to life, my father might forgive me.

Rurutia grabbed ahold of the Mana Stone. She endured to the limit but eventually collapsed.

When Rurutia woke up, a family doctor was taking care of her.

If I open my eyes, they might take me back to the lab. Rurutia pretended to close her eyes tightly.

The doctor, who was sitting next to Gael, saw her stirring.

“Rurutia, you won’t be able to live past twenty.”

“I don’t care about that girl’s life. What I want to know is the state of the magic power tube.”

“It’s gone. It’ll be hard to use magic in the future.”

“Well, I’m afraid we can’t proceed with the experiment.”

Rurutia’s lips curled gently with her eyes closed. She was very happy.

I don’t have to be my father’s slave anymore.

Finally released from the experiment, Rurutia took on various classes to broaden her horizons.

It was because the entitled females of the day had to be refined and dignified in order to get married off to a rich and respectable husband that it was imminent that they started their education early on.

Whatever her father’s intentions, Rurutia had fun studying. In particular, the history class that Gust Espeda taught was especially fun.

Originally, he was a supervisor guarding the iron ore mine in Bruque. Now he was in charge of the upper echelons of Bruque.

Top management was once fashionable among the nobles.

Now only a few tops survived the rigorous responsibilities.

One of the few establishments that survived was the Top of Bruque, which makes daily necessities for free for the citizens. But the market was in constant flux. Pretty soon the Top of Bruque was charging for their items.

The nobles, who constantly thought of ways they could remain on top, made and sold expensive items that only could be consumed by themselves.

Gael also conceived of a line of expensive sculptures to sell to the nobles.

He summoned his minions and explained his business plan.

”I plan to make and sell sculptures. It’s a business that will never fail because it only needs black crystal stones and excellent craftsmanship.”

“Yes. But since the color is dark stone, it will be the most durable even though it will be the hardest to work with. You have no choice but to get started right away to save time and money.”

‘”Are you saying my plan is wrong?”

The black mineral was a symbol of good luck. There were a lot of people who coveted it.

”I’m sure you’ve thought of something nice, but the cost of raw materials is high. There’s only one mine where black crystals are mined!”

Brucke’s vassals looked at each other.

There were also several nobles who thought they had a nose for business and eventually went bankrupt.

A business failure would certainly not bring the Brucke name down, but it would certainly have a bad influence.

“Don’t worry, I’ll manage it myself. Haven’t I impressed you enough with my outstanding abilities?”

Gael made several contributions with his magnificent magical powers and was granted additional honors. Thanks to this new business venture and his contributions, his realm grew into the largest territory in history.

This led to more people following the Duke with Burcke gaining many disciples for his liege.

Only

“That’s a good idea.”

“You think so, don’t you? So I’ll increase taxes.”

“Of course, you should.”

“Haha. It’s nice to be cool. If I succeed, I’ll give you a nice villa.”

“That’s very cool. I’m already looking forward to it.”

Everyone was excited about the success, but only one man didn’t laugh.

It was Gust, a young heir to the Espeda family, one of Brucke’s vassals.

The empire’s only black crystal mine was owned by another family. If rumors spread that the Brucke’s family was going to start a business, the price of the gemstone might steadily increase ten or twenty-fold their normal asking price.
