“Is it really necessary to also work as a courtesan? Couldn’t you just stick to being a knight…?”


    “They pay me well. Especially here in the North, where there are almost no applicants for knights. I’ve heard the sry for knights here is higher than elsewhere.


    “And since I have to share the dormitories with the men anyway, whether I want to or not, I end up performing courtesan duties as well. Since I can earn more money that way, I didn’t see any reason to refuse.”


    “Uh… does it really work that way…?”


    “Plus, they provide room and board, so I don’t have much reason to go elsewhere. I only have one year left now, but since I’m still in my twenties, I n to stay about ten more years. Once I’m no longer able to keep up with the courtesan work, I’ll move to the central region.”


    “……”


    “When I think about it, this job seems to suit me. The circumstances of how I ended up here were unfortunate, but in the end, I found something I’m good at. It’s a talent I probably wouldn’t have discovered if I hadn’te to Silverwood.”


    …Well, I’m not sure if that can be called a talent. If anything, her positive mindset seems more like the real talent here.


    Still, it was an interesting story. I didn’t expect to hear an <em>IF story</em> straight from the person involved.


    As a token of thanks for sharing such a difficult story, I pulled out five silver coins and handed them to her.


    <em>Clink.</em>


    “Thank you for sharing. I’m sure it wasn’t easy to talk about.”@@novelbin@@


    “Thank you, Duchess!”


    …Oh, right. That reminds me—what happened to Eiria?
