The Marquis of West Berlin composed himself, and the smile on his face grew even more sincere.
"Credos, what do you think of Catherine?"
As he spoke, the lord of West Berlin pointed down.
In the dense woods along the banks of Xilond, Catherine was covered in dirt, coughing up blood as she struggled to hold on.
The lord of West Berlin immediately looked a little embarrassed.
"Catherine is quite pretty once she's washed and tidied up. As for the contamination in her body, once you eliminate His remnants, Credos, a few secret elixirs will eradicate it completely.
Besides, Catherine has been taught aristocratic etiquette and given a proper education since childhood.
Not only can she quickly bear children, she also knows how to manage an estate.
And, of course, her dowry will be substantial."
The lord of West Berlin offered his explanation.
The embarrassment on his face turned to anticipation-a perfectly smooth transition. But Arthur could tell that both his earlier embarrassment and his current anticipation were deliberately put on.
Simply put, the man was acting.
All to get something for nothing!
Arthur inwardly curled his lip at that.
In your dreams!

It was rare to have the best of both worlds in this life.
Because...
Most people had some shame.
People with shame always had to sacrifice certain necessities to preserve their dignity. So life was hard not only for them, but for their families as well.
But those without shame could discard their dignity and obtain some of those necessities.
The former merely survived.
And the latter?
They lived better.
The former immediately cursed the latter to die a wretched death.
But in reality, it was usually the former whose bodies lay exposed in the wilderness.
The latter received grand funerals.
