Chapter 517: Resarite’s Ambition
"Moreover, you shouldn’t envy bread and wine too much. Trade is increasingly flourishing, and the discovery of the New World has brought us an immense amount of resources beyond our imagination. These resources won’t be monopolized by the nobility alone. I can assure you that as trade expands, the availability of bread and wine will increase, and their prices will become more affordable. Even as a commoner, you will be able to enjoy bread and wine!"
Boshni ceased her crying and gazed at Howard with wide, curious eyes, asking, "Really? Can even the poorest families afford delicious white bread?"
Howard, brimming with determination, assured her, "Yes, I promise you."
Believing his words, Boshni’s tears dried up.
Howard took a deep breath and gently said to her, "Boshni, you want to be a noble, right? Your father is the village chief of Yami Village and had helped me in my early days of development. I can fulfill your wish. I’ll speak with Anna and arrange for her to take over another village, so I can reclaim Yami Village and then bestow it upon you."
Boshni’s heart raced with excitement.
She attempted a noble’s gesture she had learned from the castle’s servants and curtsied to Howard.
Howard did not point out that her curtsy was flawed, understanding that her limited status had shaped her behavior.
He graciously accepted her imperfect gesture and said, "Very well, I will graciously accept your curtsy in advance. The ennoblement ceremony will be held in Yami Village in a week. You can go back and tell your father the good news."
Watching Boshni skip away joyfully, Howard felt a sense of healing in his soul.
He decided to overlook Rolf’s impertinence, letting go of his concerns as he descended from the tower.
