Chapter 59.“Hey! Jaod Viscount! Aren't you inside! Open the door a bit!”

“Boasting so loudly said made the Grin Ship but all lies! What about my money!”

“A guy so rotten to the extent of having an affair with the friend's wife so deceiving us was easy!”

The Jaod Viscount held his breath, and anxiously bit his nails.

Already for several days people who borrowed money to make the Grin Ship came, and urged to return the money quickly.

Locked the castle door and pretended to be absent from the seat, but they didn't give up easily.

After a long time, finally whether gave up the outside quieted.

“Gone?”

At the Jaod Viscount's question the butler lowered his head.

“Yes. Gone.”

“Damn!”

The Jaod Viscount roughly picked up the decoration on the desk and threw.

The decoration crafted with glass hit the wall making a noisy sound.

The butler saw the master he served for a long time with a sad expression.

“Rosalyn Zelling. Because of that crazy woman even me this appearance! I said erase the child!”

Then suddenly changed attitude and asked.

“Right, Rosalyn? What is that woman doing now? Still that woman, has some money in the parents' house?”

“The parents' house is also in chaos now they say. Said can't lift the face to the Zelling Count, busy going around obtaining alimony.”

“Damn!”

“And Viscount.”

“What!”

“Madam said to deliver this.”

The butler carefully held out the letter.

The Jaod Viscount hurriedly opened the neatly folded letter paper.[Need time to think. I'll be at the parents' house for a while. Don't look until I contact.]

The Jaod Viscount crumpled and threw the wife's letter.

And biting the thumb nail, spun around the room.

“Have to obtain money. Have to obtain money. Otherwise I'll be dragged to prison right away. Damn. How did I become this appearance? Butler, how much cash can circulate right now?”

“Most is tied so cash is not many.”

“Then even sell. Whether land, merchant union all sell off! Even selling only the Jaod Merchant Union can cover the alimony to some extent.”

“I also tried to do that. But Viscount, knowing we are urgent for money no one tries to buy at the proper price. Even if buying don't give even half of the money that should be received.”

“Bringing that selling is the work you have to do!”

The Jaod Viscount shouted abruptly.

“...

Don't do that and how about going to the Duchess Valfruga?”

“What? To that girl?”

“Heard the Valfruga ducal house has that much money. Said rich to the extent of hanging a jewel necklace even on the maid, with that level can borrow the urgent money right now, isn't it?”

“Valfruga ducal house...”* * *The Jaod Viscount finally came to find me!

The footsteps heading to the reception room the Jaod Viscount is waiting were light as if flying.‘Finally came! As expected worth spreading the rumor the Jaod Merchant Union head ran away.’ I stopped for a moment in front of the reception room, and lightly tapped the cheeks to tidy the expression.

Can't smile widely in front of a person who came to borrow money.

Pressed the mouth corner down tightly, then looked back at Bella and asked.

“How is it?”

“Looks extremely serious, Madam.”

Receiving Bella's confirmation I opened the reception room door and entered.

The Jaod Viscount sitting on the chair saw me and urgently raised his body.

Color came to the face seeing me, but the expression was still dark.

“Heard the matter that was in the merchant union, Jaod Viscount. These days hard a lot?”

“Yes, yes. Right. So speaking shameless but today came because of that matter.”

“What matter is it? If a matter I can help I'll help as much as wanted.”

I said with a pure face as if knowing nothing about the Jaod Viscount's situation.

“That... saying such words but, by chance can you lend some money?”

“...

Money?”

When I made a troubled face, the Jaod Viscount pleaded.

“I'll definitely repay! For now if resolving all the entangled situation now somehow will do...”

“How much is the needed amount?”

The amount the Jaod Viscount said was exactly the alimony to pay to the Zelling Count.

“That... the amount is too big. Seems won't do alone. I'll talk a bit with my husband and come.”

I exited the reception room and headed to the room with the communication orb.

And connected communication to Lus.

“Older sister! What's the matter?”

“Just! What were you doing? Not that I communicated when busy?”

“Umm, no! Not busy at all! No matter more important than older sister in the world. Now talking how to organize the soldiers...”

From the story about the castle's work starting exchanging this and that stories with Lus quite a bit of time passed.‘This level would do.’ Rather than accepting right away have to linger a bit for the other party to become more anxious.

I cut the communication with Lus and stood up from the seat.

Entering the room, in that one or two hours the Jaod Viscount's complexion became noticeably haggard.

I sat in front of the Jaod Viscount with a serious face.

“Talked with my husband...”

The Jaod Viscount swallowed with a tense face.

“Said lending money is okay. But just lending is so seems have to take collateral... Ah, don't worry too much! Really taking formally.”

I said brightly with an innocent face.

Visible the Jaod Viscount reassuring at the face seeming gentle and knowing nothing.

Right, these days scary uncles come to the castle every day but seeing me after seeing such uncles would seem able to easily default money and not urge debt much.

The face looking easy was good at times like this.

“Yes, what. That naturally should be. Don't worry.”

I took out the contract prepared in advance.

At the top of the collateral list was the Jaod Merchant Union, and below that the property the Jaod Viscount owns was densely written.

Whether really urgent for money the Jaod Viscount roughly scanned the contract with eyes and stamped the family's seal bang, at the very end.

Confirming the Jaod Viscount stamped I made the knight bring the money.

“I'll prepare the money right today.”

“T-today right away?”

“Yes. Since urgently needed, the faster giving the more helpful to the Viscount.”

“Thank you! Heard the Valfruga ducal house has a lot of money these days... Really amazing!”‘Well that money is yours.’ I filled gold coins full in the large box and handed to the Jaod Viscount.

The Jaod Viscount lifted the money box with a bright face.

The money the Jaod Viscount invested saying making the Grin Ship circulated and returned to him again.

“Now with this money will pay the Zelling Count's alimony, and raise the business well again. Really thank you, Duchess!”

“What. Glad it was helpful to the Viscount.”

I saw off the Jaod Viscount with a smiling face.

At that moment, a group of knights rushed toward us.

As soon as seeing the Jaod Viscount, they aimed swords toward him.

“Jaod Viscount. Have to talk a bit about the Jaod Merchant Union head murder incident 5 years ago and Trem Plata's disappearance.”

“Wh-what! You guys!”

“When Crem Plata who was the previous Jaod Merchant Union head learned the affair fact, is it correct planned the murder making Trem?”

“I don't know!”

“Later when Trem learned that fact, this time handled Trem as disappearance and killed.”

“I don't know I say!”

“Yes yes. Detailed story do going.”

The knight pulled the Jaod Viscount's arm.‘Seems the contract Trem and the Jaod Viscount wrote arrived well.’ The evidence Milsy saw, Trem conspiring with the Jaod Viscount and killing the older brother.

Here even the accusation content of the Jaod Viscount threatening himself forcibly made to write before Trem died.

Since clear evidence the Jaod Viscount escaping wouldn't be easy.‘Even if paying alimony going to prison won't raise the business.’ I saw the Jaod Viscount being dragged, and recalled the collateral list in the contract the Jaod Viscount stamped just now.

The Jaod Viscount who went to prison repaying the debt would be distant, so now the list there is all mine.* * *I showed Milsy the right certificate of the Jaod Merchant Union.

Milsy looked at that right certificate with a face of unable to believe.

“...

Really brought.”

“Of course! I said I'll bring! So speaking I want to entrust the Jaod Merchant Union to you. Ah, right! If becoming like that have to change the name too. Not Jaod Merchant Union but Plata Merchant Union.”

“I...”

The hesitating Milsy said.

“I only know how to make boats.”

Milsy bit her lips, and looked at me.

“So will you help me? And someday I'll make the Grin Ship as Madam wants.”

Milsy no longer called me Duchess.

If she says that I also have to treat her befitting that.

I held out my hand to her.

“Welcome to becoming a person of the Valfruga ducal house, Milsy.”* * *The day leaving for the Valfruga ducal house approached much faster than planned.

Thought confusing days would continue for a while due to the merchant union head's death etc., but as soon as the words the Valfruga ducal house obtained the Jaod Merchant Union circulated the seat was quickly caught.

Thanks to the employees who left in the unsettled situation returning.‘As expected giving a lot of money is the best.’ Rather there were also cases of people working in other merchant unions coming saying please employ.

When the situation stabilized to some extent, I immediately departed for the Valfruga ducal house.

“Bella, how much left to arrive at the castle?”

I leaned on the carriage and looked outside.

Already riding the carriage for several weeks the butt hurt.

Far away a white castle standing loftily on the mountain peak was visible.

It was the Valfruga ducal castle.

“Seems will arrive in two hours.”

“Right? Achoo.”

Sneezing at the weather that became much cooler returning north.

“Cold? Our Madam shouldn't catch a cold, shall I bring a blanket?”

“No, fine. Rather cool so good.”

I closed my eyes, and leaned my head on the carriage wall.

In the rattling carriage I dreamed a dream before possession after a long time.
