Chapter 100: Festival [2]

Market value.

It was a concept Vanitas deeply valued.

Not in the materialistic sense, but in the value of individuals. How society perceived them. 

How important they could become. 

Could they influence the aristocratic circles? 

Would they leave a mark in history? 

That was the market value of people.

And Vanitas knew his market value was soaring rapidly after several incidents he was involved in.

That much became clear to him today.

"Another one, huh?"

Several postcards, envelopes, and letters from various aristocratic families flooded his desk.

Most were proposals for partnerships, invitations to events, or opportunities to establish connections. But none of those were what truly caught his attention.

What stood out were the proposals for arrange engagements—introductions to their daughters with the intention of securing him as a future son-in-law.

In other words, a potential fiancée.

"I've made it, huh?"

He was in his popular phase.

"Should I even bother….?"

He was a dying man. If he accepted such proposals, it would all be meaningless in the end. 

Worse, the other family would gain rights to some of his assets, which could cause trouble for Charlotte in the future.

But outright rejecting the invitations wasn't ideal either. 

Doing so would diminish their interest in him, and in the world of nobility, he wasn't the only promising figure. 

Turning them down too quickly would close doors that could be valuable later.

"....I'd look like the problem."
