Regarding the governor's praise, Perfikot merely shook her head indifferently and replied, "Rather than my looks, I hope people remember my talent. Becoming the Northern Territory Count of the Empire relies not on beauty."
It's evident that Perfikot dislikes people discussing her appearance, yet as a woman, it seemed inevitable.
Especially as she was indeed very beautiful, her looks even rivaled her talent.
Perhaps this is why Perfikot rarely dresses up, preferring comfort above all.
Despite her wealth and status, she could easily lead a luxurious life and dress as fashionably and splendidly as she wished.
"Of course! When people first see you, Countess, they are attracted by your beauty, but once they know you, they understand you are one of the Empire's foremost talents." The governor continued his flattery, sincere in his words.
Perfikot was indeed a genius. People heard more of her alchemical achievements than her stunning looks.
