Nero, the vice commander of the Black Claw Knights, was a man of strict and upright character. His appearance was stern and grim. His short blond hair and sharp eyes made him look like a leopard. Bored with the tedious days of farming, he joined the war as a young soldier. He excelled in strength and speed, which led to him taking on the role of a messenger. However, one day, he was captured by the enemy army. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Nero tore up the orders and swallowed them with…-

Jill led the three confused people to the kitchen. "For now, I'll make the Pepe while showing you. But can you eat seconds?" "Jill, I don't think this is something we should show so casually…" "It's fine. It's really simple." Jill, unconcerned with Matthew's worries, placed the ingredients on the cutting board where everyone could see. "Let's start by explaining the ingredients. Though it's just the basic Aglio e Olio. Pasta, salt, garlic, olive oil, chili peppers. And parsley to finish.…

The dining room had about five tables. At one of them, Jill laid out a tablecloth and urged the three to sit. "Master, I’d like to help, but..." "It’s fine, it’s fine. I wanted to serve Maureen some food too. It’s an order. Please stay and eat with us." "Brother, say something!" Maureen, looking defeated, turned to Matthew for help. But Matthew was beginning to find the situation amusing. "Oh dear, as a maid, you should obey your master's orders, shouldn't you?" "Sigh...…

The woman introduced herself as Jill. She then served a fragrant cup of tea. It was brewed by the lady herself. The maid, Maureen, stood guard at the door like a sentinel. Garda thought that Jill must belong to an old noble lineage. Her mannerisms suggested someone who cared deeply about tea. Suppressing his thirst, Garda chose to speak before drinking the tea. “You said your name was Jill, right? I’m Garda, a leatherworker.” “Yes, welcome to my home.” “I don’t know much about…

The next morning, Garda was woken up by Matthew, who had come to his workshop and home. "Good grief, you're taking it easy... Aren't you in a tight spot?" "...I was sleep-deprived. I haven't even had a drink since the last time we met." "If you can't wake up when it matters, it's no different from drinking every day. Come on, get ready. It would be rude to visit too late when you're the one seeking advice." Garda remembered that he had promised to go somewhere last night, and with a hangover,…

"No good." "It was no good..." Once again, Matthew was drinking wine with Garda at the restaurant "Rocinante." Today, it wasn't Roland's son, but his daughter Tina who was helping with the service. "Here's your meal!" "Thank you. You're doing great." Tina shyly smiled and retreated to the kitchen. Matthew felt a slight improvement in his gloomy mood. "Well, there's no point in dwelling on it. Let's get some food." "Yeah." The two had tried various approaches to stamp a horse…

An amateur tries their hand at leatherwork. It's not easy. Leather is very different from fabrics like hemp or cotton. Just because you can sew or dye doesn't mean you can immediately apply those skills to leather, as Matthew knows. But at the same time, Matthew knows Jill's uncanny talent. Be it a dress or a hat, Matthew felt that Jill had a definite knack for bringing outlandish ideas to life. He was confident that delving into leatherwork wouldn't end without gaining anything. So the problem…

In the mansion's drawing room. There, Jill, Matthew, and now another woman are present. "This is my sister, Maureen." She isn't as tall as Matthew but is still quite tall. Her eyes are narrow, and she has a gentle smile on her lips. She has short black hair. She's wearing a black blouse and skirt. Over that, she wore a pure white apron. It's clear she's dressed as a maid. She gave a polite bow in Jill's drawing room. "Nice to meet you, Lady Jill. My name is Maureen." "Ah……

**Matthew's Part Ends Here** "It isn't a serious matter, you know. If it were, I wouldn't have called you over so casually," Lady Emily said lightheartedly, but to Matthew, it was a significant event. Matthew was a sufficiently successful merchant, but his status was still that of a commoner. He had never experienced a one-on-one meeting with a lord before. Far from being honored, he felt a sense of danger. A commoner traveling to and from the capital and ingratiating himself with an important…

"Here you go, iced tea." When Jill served the tea, Matthew's face lit up. He thanked Jill politely and took a sip. "This is delicious... It's good..." "Oh, I'm glad." Jill thought leisurely, what a person with rich emotions and expressions. "It has a familiar taste, yet it's new at the same time. It refreshingly spreads down the throat. Did you add some spices?" "Yes, just a bit of cinnamon." Before adding the tea leaves to the boiling water, Jill crushed a small amount of cinnamon…
