What is up with that?
I did knew about Jessica's dissociative identity disorder but to think she has a connection to the mafia, the head of mafia itself no less.
As I think about the information that Valerie gave me, I was writing a letter to respond to her request.
As a fellow transmigrator, I can sympathize with her, wanting to have her own freedom to do things. Whether she kills indiscriminately, I don't care at all. It is not like I am saint. What's more, I am sure that she won't kill people for fun. If she does kill for fun, then there should have been a lot of missing cases in the viscounty of Kruger and its neighboring territory, the Umfrey barony for blood.
Since the letter was written using the international language from our previous world, no one would be able to read it other than us transmigrators which is a good move.
Somehow, while I was writing the letter I felt assured that whatever plan she has, it would be beneficial for all of us.
Before asking the letter to be sent by Averie, I also drew the layout of all the mansions, castles and palaces that I can remember so that she would have an easier time doing what she needs to do.
After that, a letter arrived that came from my maid from the duchy, Anna.
It somehow displeases me that there is a noble lady who dislikes me in Vanifi. I can't do anything about it since the name 'Anna' is common.
After reading her letter, I was once again assured for my plans in the future.
She was working hard to convince a certain count in the north-west in Loate for some personal requests.
Unfortunately, she can't come here since it would blow her anonymous cover, since right now she is blackmailing the count under the name of 'Amy' which is my name originally.
She has to stay in the capital so that no one would find out about the letters that the count receives as it is confidential.
...
"My lady, I am overjoyed that you are willing to leave the mission to me! I assure you that I will execute it perfectly"
King Maxwell, the leader of the information guild that lies somewhere between Loate and Vanifi, claimed enthusiastically as he was kneeling on the ground.
"I trust that my personal, one and only dog would be able to meet my expectations then"
"Of course! You can count on me, my lady!"
After he swore his loyalty to me, King Maxwell and the other prisoners were set free to go back to their base.
Last night, before sleeping, I ask Almas to spread mushrooms that would create hypnotic spores. And I can't believe something like that actually exist.
Because of that, the prisoners listened to their leader without doubting his words. They are now working under me under the pretext of getting a lot of money which is true since I need to give them money to work.
Most of them went back but there were about a dozen that was left in the prison.
They were criminals on the wanted list, both in Loate and Vanifi.
Because of that, they are now being treated as livestock for the vampires until they die.
He may be being controlled but that does not mean I wouldn't pay my employees.
"So this is how you treat others, my lady?"
"Yes. To people like them"
"...."
"Do you hate me for doing that? Well, I don't mind what you think as long as you judge me fairly"
"I supposed you can be trusted to an extent... but that does not mean I fully trust you up to leaving my clan's lives on your hands"
Heh, 'supposed' huh.
Days passed by, I enjoyed my remaining days here with the others, especially with my brothers and son before going back to Vanifi.
Because of certain things, Emmanuel is now Ivan's personal guard.
Brother Roman can't take care of Ivan while I am gone since he is a minister, the same thing goes for Dereck since he is the captain of the royal knights.
Aaah~ I already miss Ivan. Since those guys are there, I'm sure he'll grow well while I am gone.
"My lady"
"Yes, John?"
"I have been wondering for a while now, but what are those clothes?"
"Oh, these? I made them. They are winter clothes that I made"
Unlike the clothes in this world which are uncomfortable, the clothes that I wore in my previous world was comfier.
Because of that, I made my own clothes with my knowledge that came from high school when they taught us how to make shorts and shirts out of scratch.
I still have to wear dresses in balls and formal events though.
"Is it weird?"
"A bit"
"I thought so"
A coat with a design like this doesn't exist here in this world since it was created through different means.
By each day that passes, the wind got colder. Just after two weeks, snow started to appear.
When we arrived, the thickness of the snow reach about one foot.
"It is a pleasure to have you once more, baroness Emond!!!"
When John opened the door, the servants and knights that were assigned in the emerald palace while I was there, greeted me before I even got to get out of the carriage with smiles on their faces.
"Let's go! I have souvenirs for all of you"
We then went to the emerald palace and I gave each of them different gifts. For the female servants and knights I gave them soaps and shampoo that I made as well as cosmetics. For the male servants and knights, I gave them cologne.
They often complained to me how women reject them when they smelled sweaty. Which is why I gave them colognes as a gift.
Something fresh that does not have an overwhelming scent.
Before going to bed, instead of John it was Aiden who slept beside me.
