Chapter 380

The Noble Family for Whom I Made a Dress
After distributing the Kiblinki Saltas to Baron Degusal’s household, we continued on to the next town.

The third and fourth towns didn’t present any significant issues. As expected, there were concerns about monsters being assigned to guard duty, but the Kiblinki Saltas quickly put people at ease by casually interacting with them.
These spiders were surprisingly good at socializing, too.

Now, we were heading to the fifth destination: the territory of Count Polisia.

This region was relatively prosperous, and there were no reports of discontent among the people.
It also happened to be the first noble house where I had made a dress for one of their children.

Thinking about it, I had made a total of nine outfits—both dresses and gentlemen’s attire.
Considering we were distributing them to fourteen noble families, it wouldn’t be surprising if I started encountering the recipients soon.

I wasn’t exactly looking forward to it, but there was no avoiding it.
With that thought, I adjusted my mindset as we arrived at Count Polisia’s estate.

As expected, both Marquis Vardmoi and I were warmly received.
It seemed that the Count had found a particularly favorable match.

"Welcome, Marquis Vardmoi, Lady Lily. We are honored by your visit."

"Mm. Have you been well, Count Polisia?"

"Of course. Lady Lily, I must express my deep gratitude. Thanks to the dress you made for Licia, she was blessed with an excellent match. We truly appreciate it."

"I’m glad to hear that. Now, about today’s agenda—since I’ve come to distribute my tamed monsters, I assume everything is in order?"

"Of course. We even received a letter of recommendation from Baron Corst. To have won over Baron Corst… that is truly remarkable."

Baron Corst had that much influence?

Upon further inquiry, I learned that his lineage began with a knight who distinguished himself in battle several generations ago and was granted nobility.
Over time, his family developed what was once a small village into a thriving town.

He was known as a proud and honorable warrior who never engaged in corruption and prioritized the defense of his domain above all else.
This was the reputation Baron Corst had among his peers.

As it turned out, the one being matched with Count Polisia’s daughter, Licia, was the grandson of the current Baron Corst.

The boy was the eldest son of Baron Corst’s heir and was therefore likely to inherit the barony in the future.
Although he was only eight years old, he had already received a strict upbringing and was said to conduct himself flawlessly as a noble.

For now, the two children were only exchanging letters, but both Count Polisia and Baron Corst hoped this would eventually lead to an engagement.

Honestly, I was relieved to hear that the dress I made had helped forge a meaningful connection.
Given how expensive it was, it had better have been worth it.
