Chapter 58.“How did you enter here! Hey, outside...!”
Butcher struck the back of Trem's neck with his hand before Trem made a louder sound.
Trem rolled his eyes and made an ugh sound then collapsed as is.
“Oh dear, if a loud sound comes out it won't do.”
Butcher lightly supported Trem's body before touching the floor, and looked around.
“Come, then shall we do the cleanup according to Madam's will.”* * *The Jaod Viscount roughly tore his hair.
“Damn! Damn! How did that guy know and come there!”
The alimony the Zelling Count claimed to the Jaod Viscount was enormous.
Even gathering all the spare money in hand was insufficient.
“For now as urgent have to receive back even the investment money entrusted to the Jaod Merchant Union.”
The Jaod Viscount lifted the communication orb and contacted the Jaod Merchant Union.
But no matter how much time passed there was no person receiving the contact.
“What?”
Tried communication again, but still no one received.
The Jaod Viscount's blood cooled coldly.
An ominous premonition arose.
The Jaod Viscount kicked the seat and stood up, and headed to the Jaod Merchant Union.
Heading to the merchant union already a big fuss had happened, and around the merchant union people were gathering murmuring.
The Jaod Viscount parted between people and entered inside the merchant union.
Entering inside the merchant union, Milsy was lying face down on the floor and crying.
“What on earth is this?”
At the Jaod Viscount's question the servants working in the merchant union checked each other's moods.
“What is it!”
“That...”
One old servant stepped forward.
“Tell right away!”
The anxious Jaod Viscount shouted then the servant then stuttered and said.
“Ah, anyway the master... seems did a night escape...”
“What?”
The Jaod Viscount parted the servants, and headed to Trem's room.
Then like a crazy person checked the vault and the room here and there.
Not even a few days since entrusting money to the Jaod Merchant Union.
No way already spent all the money he gave.
But no matter how much searching not even one gold coin was visible.
The Jaod Viscount held Milsy's shoulders and pressed.
“You what is this!”
“D-don't know...”
“Where did your uncle go! Tell to come out right away!”
“Sob, don't know. I also don't know...”
“Don't know what on earth is that sound!”
The Jaod Viscount roughly shook Milsy's shoulders and pressed, but Milsy only shook her head with a tear-soaked face.
“Don't know! I really don't know!”
“Don't know? If saying don't know that's all? Where did your uncle go!”
The knight who couldn't watch more restrained the Jaod Viscount.
“Calm down! The young lady really seems not knowing...”
“Then explain how it became!”
Milsy sniffled her nose and opened her mouth.
“Sob... the uncle... said will go on a business trip for a week to me.”
“Business trip? Then?”
“Then... several days passed but the uncle doesn't come... People came saying give money to buy materials in the merchant union... no matter how much searching no money...”
“Wh-what? Then the Grin Ship! How did the Grin Ship become!”
At the Jaod Viscount's words Milsy shook her head.
“I-I just said as the uncle instructed. Said still can't make things like the Grin Ship... The uncle said it's okay... if only passing this time well will do...”
“Th-this...!”
That guy strongly appealing about the Grin Ship was suspicious.
The Summerhild ducal house making the boat first?
All that guy's lies.
From the beginning planned to take his own money and run.
“Is there a place guessed where the uncle went! Really didn't say anything to you!”
“I really don't know.”
No matter what asking Milsy only spat the words knowing nothing, just did as the uncle instructed.
He himself knew best that that girl knows nothing besides drawing the boat's blueprint.
The Jaod Viscount felt the back of the neck pulling strongly.
Even if that guy runs away someday will be caught.
But he needed money right now.
If not giving alimony to the Zelling Count, he himself might go to prison.
“Damn!”
The Jaod Viscount spat curses and exited the Jaod Merchant Union.
Milsy coldly looked at such Viscount's back.* * *At the time night deepened and everyone slept, Milsy avoided people's eyes and exited the mansion and rode the carriage.
The place the carriage arrived was an old temple.
A few years ago, while newly building the temple and relocating now a place no one finds.
Entering inside the temple, a girl shining brightly even in the darkness smiled and welcomed herself.
“Welcome, Milsy. How was today?”
The person who instructed all this plan to herself, the Duchess Valfruga.
It was Felia Valfruga.
Behind her the secret escort seen before was standing, and tied on the chair in front of that was her uncle who disappeared, Trem Plata.
“Ugh, ugh...”
Trem wearing a blindfold and gag made strange sounds and wriggled his body.
“Butcher, that guy is trying to wake again.”
When Felia quietly said, the man standing behind said in an annoying tone.
“That really has useless recovery power. Even waking quickly have to faint again. Ei!”
The man struck Trem's neck with the hand blade.
Trem stiffened his body and trembled then the head dropped again.
Confirming Trem fainted Felia smiled and asked Milsy.
“Did the Jaod Viscount come find?”
“Y-yes... As Madam said really came and asked me where the uncle went...”
“Did you say well as I instructed?”
“Yes. Said seems secretly ran away, I know nothing.”
“Well done.”
“And the Jaod Viscount looked for money. Where the money he gave to the uncle went...”
“Ah, that we took care well from our side.”
When Felia held out her hand, Butcher handed a heavy box to Felia.
Opening the box all sorts of jewels and gold coins shone brilliantly.
At the large sum never seen even once Milsy swallowed and asked.
“Really... brought all.”
“There are a few more of these. Thanks to you. If the insider didn't cooperate we also would have been hard to steal this easily.”
Since large money Trem also put heart into security.
Put money in a thick vault, and made knights take turns guarding the vault without resting even for a moment.
But he also wouldn't have thought the young niece he always ignored would cooperate.
Felia closed the box lid with a bang and said.
“Trem will now conclude as completely night escaped.”
“But the Jaod Viscount is looking for the uncle. Someday will be caught.”
“It doesn't matter. If ending everything before that will do. And the Jaod Viscount now won't have gap to look for Trem? Before that there's something I want to ask you.”
Felia quietly smiled.
Milsy blankly looked at Felia's face.
Thought only a lovely and gentle face, but her face shining under the moonlight had a mysterious magic power.
“What do you want to do with your uncle? I'll do as you want.”
The whispering voice was sweet.
Milsy tightly clenched both fists, and glared at Trem.
Seeing the man powerlessly drooping his body tightly tied, the appearance of the parents mercilessly murdered came to mind.
She believed and followed such a man as uncle.
“...
Can I kill?”
At her words Felia answered.
“If you want.”* * *Milsy said kill Trem very cruelly.
Hoped that person knows even one ten-thousandth of the pain she experienced.
Leaving Butcher and Trem alone two, me and Milsy came outside the temple.
I hugged Milsy without saying anything.
Right now this woman seemed to need a person's body temperature.
We hugged tightly like that for a long time.
Trem's corpse was buried well in the ground and handled.
At least for a few weeks won't be found.
Handled Trem, but the problem was the Jaod Viscount.
The enemy who conspired with Trem and killed Milsy's parents, and the true owner of the Jaod Merchant Union.‘In the heart hope just burying this guy too... Even so the Jaod Merchant Union is still owned by the Jaod Viscount house.’‘It's the merchant union my parents left to me. I really want to find it.’ I recalled Milsy's voice desperately pleading.
How can a person refuse when saying that.
“So what is the Jaod Viscount doing these days?”
At my question Bella poured tea in the teacup and said.
“Seems busy going around obtaining alimony to pay to the Zelling Count. Said going around borrowing money here and there?”
“How much came out?”
The amount Bella told was really mouth dropping.
“That much?”
Three times more amount than my expectation.
An amount that would have to sell half of the land and merchant union owned by the Jaod Viscount house to pay.
“Knowing it's his own child and secretly raised as the Zelling Count's child. If slightly wrong the next Zelling Count could have become the Jaod Viscount's bloodline, this level is light.”
“Right. If becoming like that the Zelling Count house would just be eaten by the Jaod Viscount.”
Thinking that it was an understandable amount.
“Right if even a child arose just divorce. So is there a person trying to lend money?”
“Originally still the Jaod Merchant Union is a quite okay place so seemed a few places aiming for that. But...”
“Now none?”
I grinned.
No matter how solid the Jaod Merchant Union and the future looks bright that was a story when no problems.
The story of making the Grin Ship was a lie, and thanks to the rumor the merchant union head took money and ran the evaluation of the Jaod Merchant Union these days was crawling on the floor.
I know later Milsy makes the Grin Ship and hits big, but if a sane person absolutely no way aiming for the Jaod Merchant Union.
I rested my chin, and asked with a heart beating like a child waiting for a gift.
“When will come to us? Hope comes quickly.”
