[IV] [No System] [Gender-Bender] [Steampunk] [Business Empire] [World War]
When I was eighteen, my biological father sold me. Then she bought me.
She gave me delicious food and clean water.
She gave me warm clothes and a place to live, and an easy job...
She wouldn't make me do servants' work. She only wanted me by her side, learning to read, write, and do business.
She said that one day, when she grew old, she would leave me her entire business empire, spread across the whole empire...
Even after all this time, she still doesn't reach my chest, and she keeps saying all those...
Incomprehensible words of wisdom...
I won't inherit it.
I want to stay with you forever.
Even if we have to spend the whole year traveling around, busy with work...
Even if the king personally orders you, long since retired, to give your life for glory once more and head to the battlefield...
I'll stay by your side, always.
For a lifetime...
For ten lifetimes...
For all eternity, never to be apart.
You fool.
[Retired soldier uncle, but she's a gothic lolita]
