Chapter 15 Let’s go to the shopping mall together (1)

In conclusion, the interview was stricter than I expected.

First of all, the atmosphere in the interview space was brutal.

The only thing that illuminates the windowless closed room structure is a magic lamp hanging from the ceiling.

“First of all, please fill out your personal information.”

The man who brought me here held out a piece of paper in front of me. The quill and ink were already prepared.

The moment he looked at the papers, he almost provoked a fight, but fortunately he suppressed it with his reason.

Paperwork is really exhausting.

I wrote down all my personal information and handed it out to the man. He skimmed through the papers and placed them on top of the strange-looking machine.

At first glance, it looks like a modern copier…….

“Through this magic tool, we will check whether there are lies in the documents.”

Fortunately, the man answered my questions before I even asked.

The results of the review are, of course, all true.

Since then, I have been bombarded with various questions such as the reason and purpose of wanting to open an account, the deposit amount, and so on. Fortunately, I had some thoughts, so I was able to answer fluently.

However, I didn’t expect it to be verified this thoroughly, so I was quite surprised.

“You have been found to be the right person to open an account.”

It was only after an hour-long interview that I was able to open an account.

I’m glad I didn’t stick with strange items such as agreeing to the modern terms and conditions.

Instead, I wrote an agreement on the rules that must be followed in using the secret bank. Here’s what it looked like, very briefly:

1. Don’t tell anything about your experience at the secret bank.

2. “Owl” Is the only way to address the staff.

3. The deposit amount must be at least 100 gold.

There were several other things, but this is the most important one.

Anyway, the minimum amount is 100 gold…….

This money is equivalent to about two months’ worth of taxes, based on our territory. And it’s also about half of what I’d be getting.

If I hadn’t known about the future of the fall of the Eckhart Empire.

In that case, I was thinking of living independently with this money.

“By the way, when does account opening end?”

I looked at the empty desk and muttered.

It’s already been about 10 minutes since I paid that man the 10 gold account opening fee.

‘If it took 10 minutes to open an account in Korea, I would have heard all kinds of complaints.’

It is said that they understand because the world view is medieval, but it is a very boring wait for Koreans.

After a few more minutes, an employee approached the desk.

“Here you are. Check it out.”

Oh, I finally became a customer of the Secret Bank.

Looking over the bankbook, I found the pattern of Eckhart’s family on the black exterior.

What is it?

I’ve never ordered a custom like this before?

“What the hell is this?”

“You are an imperial employee, aren’t you? So, I prepared a bankbook in the same form as that.”

It’s called custom service.

At the same time, I felt like I knew a little bit why he was doing this.

The money from the imperial family is basically managed by the Treasury. Here, all other money, except for the list of maintenance expenses for the dignity of the emperor or empress, like internal money, is transparently caught in the details.

In other words, the salary I will receive soon is also transparently disclosed.

‘But even so, would you like to check what I personally write?’

I also asked the staff about this.

“Our Secret Bank is committed to being prepared for any situation. The more prepared you are, the better.”

This is because it is Yubimuhwan.

It’s a pretty nice operating principle.

I came out of the bank in a good mood with my bankbook. After that, I got into the waiting wagon and headed to Delerson’s shopping street.

* * *

Before choosing clothes, I decided to appease my hunger first.

I went into a suitable restaurant and had a rather late lunch.

After that, we headed to Delerson’s shopping street.

“Hmm. Where would be good?”

I’ve never been to Delesson’s shopping district, but I didn’t know where to go because there were so many shops.

There are only four or five shops in the Nedville estate.

But at a glance, there seemed to be 30 places.

With the situation like this, a selection disorder naturally came.

It’s private clothes, but you can just go in and buy them…….

“The tailcoat is the problem.”

I currently have 30 gold in my pocket.

I spent a lot of money on lodging on the way from Nedville to Dellerson. However, since I entered the palace, I had never been outside, so I had money left over.

At least I spent 10 gold for the account opening fee.

“Ah, what would happen if I thought about it outside. Let’s go in as you can see.”

I scratched my head and went into the nearest menswear store. And I was surprised.

Because it was a store that had a good range of plain clothes, as well as tailcoats.

“Welcome!”

The owner of the shop quickly approached me.

“I came to see some plain clothes and tailcoats.”

“Which one shall I show you first?”

“Show me your plain clothes first.”

The boss led me to a place where private clothes were on display.

I want to make it moderately cheap. However, it was necessary to buy something as good as possible considering that it would be worn even in the imperial palace from now on.

And if you buy good things, another advantage follows. Even if you sell it right away, you can get a higher price.

‘I should wear it well for a year and then sell it when I leave the empire.’

Or it wouldn’t be bad to go to that country and sell it.

Thinking that way, I was able to choose two expensive private clothes with a little peace of mind.

The next thing to choose is a tailcoat.

To be honest, I didn’t know what was good, so I asked the president to recommend something suitable.

“Guest. Then how about this one?”

“The fabric is fine. The color is nice and the price…….”

I had no choice but to blurt my words there.

The price is 50 gold?

Did the boss decide to sell me something expensive?

“Hey, is there anything cheaper than this?”

“This is a popular item in our store. The price is also relatively cheap.”

Is this cheap?

As I tilted my head, the boss showed me another tailcoat. The price written on it was about twice as expensive as the first tailcoat I had ever seen.

“Of course, you are well aware of this, but if custom-made products are made here, an additional fee will be charged.”

“How much is that?”

“It’s 20 gold including repairs and delivery.”

“Hmm… ….”

So if you buy clothes that cost 50 gold, it actually costs 70 gold!

It’s more than double the money I currently have.

‘Should I come next time?’

But I quickly erased that thought.

I don’t usually have much interest in clothes, so I thought it would be quite troublesome to come back later.

“Give me 50 gold.”

“Yes sir! I’ll measure right away.”

The boss measured my size with quick movements. Then he asked me if I had any special requests.

“Just do it like this.”

“Yes. The tailcoat is 70 gold. If you include the plain clothes you bought today, that’s a total of 80 gold.”

First, I gave 30 gold to the boss.

“Is trauma possible? Even if you look like this, you’re still working in the imperial palace.”

While doing so, I took out an employee plaque that only imperial palace staff could have. Fortunately, the staff plaque had a seal symbolizing the imperial family engraved on it, and the president immediately recognized it.

“Yes! If you’re an imperial staff member, of course it’s possible.”

“I’ll pay the remaining bill when the clothes are delivered.”

It’s good that you brought your staff plaque.

I asked for everything, including plain clothes, to be delivered at once, and then left the store.

There was still about 2 hours before return time, but there was nothing special to do.

“Shall we go back?”

Because preparations to raise the escape funds have already begun.

I moved towards the imperial palace.

The weekend has passed and Monday has come again.

The day I hate working the most among weekdays.

But this Monday wasn’t like that. Because,

“I will pay you last month’s pay stub.”

It’s finally the day you get your first paycheck!

Of course, I wasn’t the only one excited about the salary. A soft smile appeared on Mulia’s lips, and Flora clapped for joy.

“Please leave Flora first.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Flora jumped up from her seat with her bright voice. Cecilia approached her own desk and handed her bill to her.

The next turn is, of course, Mulia.

It wasn’t until after Mullia got her statement and returned to her seat that my name was called.

“Luke Nedville.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

How much will it cost?

I stood in front of Cecilia’s desk full of anticipation. She handed me a bankbook with her statement.

It was a copy of the bankbook prepared by the secret bank.

I was surprised at the moment, but I bit my molars tightly to not show emotion.

“Your salary will be paid from this account in the future. And once a quarter, I’ll check the use of my salary, so make sure to organize your bankbook periodically.”

“I will keep this in mind, Your Majesty.”

I guess I’ll be using the secret bank often.

“Another one. During the probationary period, only 80% of the original salary is paid, so keep that in mind. From next month, it will be paid as a normal salary.”

I was able to return to my seat only after listening to Cecilia’s explanation.

Now I need to check the numbers.

“Oh… ….”

The amount stamped on the statement is a whopping 180 gold.

Since this is said to be at the level of 80%, it means that the actual salary is close to 200 gold.

It could be said that this was a fairly good income. Even if you collect only half of this for a year, it will be 1,200 gold.

1,200 Gold is enough money to build a mansion that could only be built by a duke.

Even if all of my family members go to another country, we will be able to live without difficulty for a few years.

I took a moment to think about how to spend my salary this month.

‘100 Gold to save in the secret bank, 50 gold for credit…… Then another 30 gold will be left.’

What should I do with this 30 gold to hear that I spent it well?

As I was pondering, the faces of my mother, Cyril, and Emma suddenly came to mind.

Yes. I could give you a gift!

But since I don’t know what girls like, I needed some advice.

There was only one person I knew whom I could turn to for advice on women’s gifts.

The daughter of the Marquis of Flora Dellis Simonian.

‘I’ll have to ask after work.’

After work and dinner, I went to Flora’s room.

“Oh, Mr. Luke. What are you doing at this hour?”

“I need the help of the Marquis Simonian.”

“Help? It’s good. Anything I can help with.”

How easy it is to deal with people like this.

Muliana Cecilia should learn this from Flora.

“I want to give presents to my mother, younger sister, and childhood friend back home, but I don’t know what girls like. Could you teach me something?”

“Ah. It’s just fine. That is my specialty.”

Flora shrugged her shoulders, revealing her confidence. Seeing this, I suddenly felt a surge of confidence.

“Are you familiar with the tastes of her family and friends?”

“… ….”

I was suddenly speechless.

At least for Cyril, she likes flashy things, so it would be easy for her to choose, but her mother or Emma was the problem.

“You don’t seem to know. It’s hard to give you advice then…….”

Having said that, Flora suddenly clapped her hands with an aww sound.

“Then do this! You are going to the shopping mall with me this Saturday. You might think of it when you look at it, right?”

“Oh! That’s a good idea.”

So I made an appointment with Flora to go to Delesson’s shopping district alone.
