Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon
chapter-156

Aside from Toma, the Rev would hire other job applicants if they are up to Murano Workshop’s standards after assessing their skills. The necessary structure to develop the business is established.

“Rev, I’m sorry I have to leave the capital just as the workshop is starting.”

“No, everything has been prepared for us. From now on, I can leave the business to the experts and devote myself to making glass pens for the Empress and Lord Yurisein. I am happy as if I were in a dream.”

“It is only because of your skill and talent. When I leave the capital, you mustn’t get so absorbed in your work that you neglect your health.”

“Yes, Young Lady.”

Bowing deeply, Rev offered Ekaterina a long, narrow box.

“Um, after making the Emperor’s glass pen, I had some spare time on my hands, so I made this for a break… if you’d like to take it.”

“Oh, my!”

Ekaterina beamed with glee as she opened the box. It was a single blue rose hair ornament made of blue glass.

“How beautiful…you are a genius to make such a thing out of thin air. I am so impressed. How much is the cost?”

“No! Really, I just wanted you to receive it. I thought it would be my way of saying thank you.”

“That’s so sweet of you, Rev.”

Ekaterina smiled at him, and Rev turned bright red and slumped.

Toma patted him on the back with a look of understanding.

The two have only known each other for a short time, but they have already become good friends. This makes for a great working environment at Murano Workshop!

Ekaterina watched them, smiling with such thoughts.

Unfortunately, her thoughts were constantly directed somewhere else.

“Big Brother.”

When Ekaterina visited the Duke’s office, Alexei immediately stood up to greet her.

“Ekaterina, I am sorry to call on you when you are busy preparing for your trip. I’m sure you must be tired of dealing with the sculptor.”

“No, Big Brother, it was a rare experience, and I enjoyed it.”

She was tired, but she really had a great time. The sketching in all directions and the realism were as good as possible. In this world without photographs, this was the first time in her life that she had ever seen her own backside.

I should have asked him to draw one of Big Brother too! Then I could always carry it with me!

But it was okay because he was right in front of her. He always dressed in dignity as a duke, but now that summer arrived, his uniform changed to summer clothes, and even in his office, he was wearing a shirt instead of a jacket. The shirts worn in the office were high quality, like jackets, embroidered with silver threads. He now looked slender and well-trained, and she could see his excellent physique, which was a real eye-opener. Thank you very much.

“Let’s start with a good report, Halil.”

“Yes, sir.”

Halil, head of commercial distribution, smiled at Ekaterina. It’s a friendly smile I’ve seen a lot lately.

“We have received a large order from the Temple of the Sun for the Heavenly Blue, which was triggered by the Young Lady’s proposal for the dedication of the Heavenly Blue. The Queen’s Palace at night, which the Dukes paid for and decorated in celestial blue, has become so well known for its beauty that the number of visitors has skyrocketed, and they have decided to actively incorporate it into their other offerings.”

“My, that’s great news!”

The publicity was right on target!

“First, the pigments. They wanted to boldly use the heavenly blue color for the new giant wall to be painted on the main shrine of the Sun God. Also, for next year’s Summer Solstice Festival, they want to put up a tent dyed in the heavenly blue to make visitors feel as if they were in the sky. It’s quite a fancy idea.”

“As one would expect from the popular Sun Temple, they are excellent at capturing the people’s hearts.”
