Treasured and raised with utmost care by the Duke Ruschev, she, unlike typical sixteen-year-olds, handled the event with maturity and composure.
Not just an onlooker, her brother, the young duke Gaizen, assisted in the trading company’s work and nimbly helped his sister.
Their ability to successfully host such large events repeatedly at their age was astonishing to observers.
Whenever the Ruschev family held a charity event, retainers invariably sought out their lady.
Although Vialle didn’t willingly participate, she diligently prepared even the smallest details.
Anyone who saw how earnestly she worked would be amazed.
Thus, Vialle loved her family and knew how to take responsibility for her household and retainers.
When Vialle and Gaizen appeared at the Cheilo trading booth, an official among the busy crowd respectfully greeted them.
“Lady. Young Duke. We’ve been waiting for you.”
“Let’s start by inspecting the charity items first.”
Gaizen, assisting in the Duke’s business affairs, scrutinized the items thoroughly, embodying the very image of a Duke’s deputy.
Assisting in his father’s trading business, Gaizen was undoubtedly the image of a Duke’s deputy. Fitting his role as the future head of the trading house, he meticulously selected and ordered the charity event items, much like the Duke himself would have.
This shipment had faced significant challenges due to a heavy storm, necessitating thorough inspection to ensure no goods were damaged. Furthermore, the vessel carrying the charity event materials had only arrived at the port this dawn, adding to their concerns.
Even Vialle, who had traveled back in time, couldn’t have foreseen natural disasters. Her use of ‘Eyes of Truth’ didn’t mean that past events would unfold exactly as before.
Though the employees had already completed the pre-selection, the ultimate responsibility lay with Gaizen, the trading house’s deputy. He skillfully managed his duties.
The known charitable events within the empire typically involved distributing free old or unused goods and serving food. However, the Ruschev family’s charity event was famous for its scale.
It was unusual for nobles to donate high-quality goods simply for an event. Hence, the Ruschev’s charity events, providing products usually reserved for nobility, garnered immense response from the imperial citizens, earning the moniker “flower of Arkan.”
The massive deficit incurred was an issue for the Cheilo trading company to handle. However, the family’s coffers were not in jeopardy. Considering the growing reputation and influence, the losses were insignificant compared to the gains.
Their philanthropy would soon be featured in major newspapers, and citizens, including nobles, would only have words of admiration.
“Hm―”
While inspecting the goods, Gaizen’s thick brows furrowed, and he started clicking his tongue in disapproval. The managers and employees held their breath, anxiously watching the young master, sweat beading on their foreheads.
Seeing no sign of Gaizen’s mood improving, they continually looked towards Vialle, hoping she would intervene.
Observing the situation, Vialle finally sighed and addressed him.
“Is there a problem?”
“Well, the condition is a bit… Are you sure these are all the prepared items?”
“About that… many damaged items were discovered during the selection process.”
At this, Gaizen clenched his teeth in a snake-like manner, his narrowed eyes seeming ready to swallow them whole.
