‘Isn’t it a bit too soon to be thinking so far ahead when we’re not even married yet? Bedrooms, inheritance…’

Colin’s innocent face, which didn’t expect any refusal from me, left me speechless.

I was so taken aback that I froze, and Bradley jumped into the conversation with a bit of a fuss.

“If you say it like that, she’ll misunderstand! Don’t worry, miss. Your original room is exactly as it was. We’ve simply expanded the living space for you two, which includes a shared bedroom.”

“Living space? How can it expand if the building is the same?”

“This building is yours now, too. Specifically, we’ve relocated the Grand Mage’s lab.”

“Oh, I see.”

As I listened to the explanation, Colin, puffing his cheeks childishly, interjected into our conversation.

“Isn’t that what I said?”

“Master, please be quiet. The more you speak, the more misunderstandings arise.”

Bradley covered Colin’s mouth, allowing me to hear the details without interruption. Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, I felt relieved.

‘So that big building next to us is ours too?’

Only then did I understand why such a large building was constructed and named a branch of the Magic Tower.

Since he’s a Grand Mage, it’s not surprising that the Magic Tower would encourage research by erecting a building of this scale. Wherever he is becomes the Magic Tower, so calling it a branch isn’t wrong.

I accepted this, and upon reflection, I found it quite agreeable.

However, there was something that bothered me.

‘Can’t they change the color? The stark contrast between the mint-colored building and the pitch-black one is too much.’

While I looked at the building with a dissatisfied expression, Bradley nudged me forward.

“Instead of standing here, why don’t you go inside and see for yourself? It should suit the taste of those who will be living there, right?”

He had a point.

‘But why does he have a smile like a real estate scammer?’

I was nudged along by him with a reluctant expression.

Strangely, instead of leading me to the newly built second Magic Tower, he guided me to the mint-colored building where my shop was.

“Why here?”

“You’ll see once you go in.”

Upon entering, the building felt slightly chilly due to being empty for a while, but otherwise, it was the same as usual.

As I tilted my head in confusion, Bradley led the way up the stairs. He stopped right in front of my room.

“From here, it’s important. When you open the door, think about where you want to go.”

“Where I want to go?”

Isn’t that obvious? This is my room.

Thinking that, I turned the doorknob, and as always, my familiar room appeared. I looked at Bradley with a ‘what’s different?’ expression.

At that moment, Yuri joined me, placing his hand over mine to close the door.

“This time, think of another place. Like my room.”

“Yuri’s room?”

Would that really make a difference? I tilted my head and opened the door again.

Though it was clearly my room’s doorknob, when I opened it, Yuri’s room appeared.

I was momentarily speechless with amazement. Meanwhile, Colin stroked his beard and explained.

“The building next door is essentially a huge pocket dimension, so there’s no need to open it. It will connect to wherever you think of, whether it’s a workshop, closet, or bathroom.”

“Wow, that’s incredible.”

I was so fascinated that I tried opening and closing the door with different thoughts, just as he described. It truly led to places like a large bathroom with a tub or a wardrobe-filled closet that weren’t originally in the building.

‘This is really amazing.’

It was amazing, but…

“Wouldn’t it be more efficient to use the building in a normal way?”

Doesn’t this mean I’d have to keep opening and closing the door every time I wanted to organize things or clean?

‘Moreover, places I don’t think of naturally won’t be used.’

My comment seemed to shock Colin deeply, and he shook his head, touching his forehead.

“Our little one is perfect, but lacks any romantic notion of magic.”

“Is it really about romance? I’m just pointing out efficiency.”

“Yuri, do you think the same?”

Colin, feeling cornered, turned to Yuri. My eyes met Yuri’s soft blue gaze.

Suddenly, I had a curious thought.

‘If I open the door while thinking I want to see Yuri, will Yuri appear?’

Yuri is here, so would it just show Yuri’s room?

With that thought, I closed and reopened the door. A room I had never seen before appeared.

“Gasp! What is this?”

Pink flower petals fluttered before my eyes. In a large room that felt like it was the size of two of my own combined, there was nothing but a solitary bed. It was the kind of bed draped with white lace curtains, like something a princess from a fairy tale might use.

Colin boasted proudly.

“This is the shared bedroom.”

My face turned red.

A shared bedroom? The word itself was suggestive, and the room looked exactly like something a newlywed couple might use.

I muttered with a distressed expression.

“No, I was just thinking about seeing Yuri…”

If anyone saw this, they’d think I had strange thoughts and ended up in a bedroom!

‘It’s unfair!’

Thankfully, none of the people here seemed to care about my embarrassment.

Colin continued to boast about how impressive his preparations were.

“For your information, it’s designed to block out all sounds and external interference to ensure a good night’s sleep. You won’t even know when the morning sun rises if you sleep here.”

“What?”

Was that why there were no windows in the building? I was so astonished that my mouth dropped open.

Yuri grabbed Colin’s hand firmly and spoke in a respectful tone.

“Master, you truly have a broad perspective and deep thoughtfulness. I respect you.”

“Huh? Hahaha! Right? There’s no one like me, is there?”

“Yes, to understand and execute things that even your disciple couldn’t think of, that’s truly you, Master.”

“Oh? Well, disciple, it feels good when you say that… but it feels too good, which is strange?”

The more Yuri sincerely thanked him, the more uneasy Colin became.

After listening to Yuri’s praise with a slightly awkward expression, Colin narrowed his eyes and whispered in a small voice.

“So, Yuri, we have so many artifact production requests piling up…”

Bradley quickly handed over a thick list to Yuri.

Wait a minute? Was it intentional to attach the receipt for the cost of building the Magic Tower branch to that list?

Colin winked.

“Since you’ve got a workshop now, shouldn’t you show your loved one how hard you’re working?”

“…You never do anything that results in a loss, do you?”

“Of course not.”

While Yuri seemed incredibly pleased and unsure of what to do, when it came to the work of the Magic Tower, Colin became thoroughly meticulous. He didn’t just hand over a list; he also offered a pen, asking for a signature on a contract with a delivery date.

Yuri, who was expected to sign immediately, snapped his fingers in the air. Then, a paper identical to the one Colin handed over appeared.

Yuri gave it to Colin with his characteristic languid smile.

“If you transfer all your assets to Titiana as you mentioned earlier, I’ll do it afterward.”

“…You don’t take a loss either, huh.”

“Who do you think I learned from?”

Despite his frustration, Colin signed the paper without hesitation. Yuri handed it to me with a mischievous grin.

“A gift.”

Is it okay to accept it like this?

‘I should talk to Yuri about this later.’

Anyway, our shop expanded to include the suspicious building labeled as a branch of the Magic Tower.

***

The royal wedding was now truly imminent.

Thinking it would be difficult to give a gift at the wedding, I visited the Morphe Duchy with the completed gift.

Since she hadn’t officially entered the palace yet, Rosemary was staying at the Morphe Duchy.

I heard that although the palace requested her to move in a month before the wedding, Duke Morphe, feeling sad about his daughter getting married, pleaded with the Emperor to delay her entrance.

‘Rosie returned to the country not long ago after studying abroad for a long time.’

Suddenly becoming the crown princess, I understood the Duke’s feelings of regret.

If I were the Duke, I might have preferred a son-in-law to come live with us, even if the conditions were a bit lacking.

Anyway, with the national wedding of the lady becoming the crown princess so close, the atmosphere at the Morphe Duchy seemed extremely excited.

“This way, please.”

The maids’ attitudes toward me were much more courteous than last time. They greeted me and subtly glanced at me, pretending not to, which seemed to be the power of newspaper articles.

‘I didn’t know Yuri was that famous.’

How extravagantly did the Magic Tower build its branch for it to make the news? It was a series of unbelievable events that I would have laughed off as lies if it weren’t my business.

In the room I entered with the maid’s guidance, Rosemary greeted me, wearing a thin, light dress and her hair flowing down.

“I’ve been waiting for you. Can you see how long my neck has gotten?”

“Rosie, you’ve always had a long neck.”

Even her habit of making silly jokes hadn’t changed. As soon as we sat down, Rosemary brought up Yuri’s affairs.

“These days, it seems like Titiana’s name is mentioned more in the country than the royal wedding. Did you know that?”
