Episode 51. more important than money
#
‘Are you sure you want an answer?’
Seeing the peacock, Ion felt a strange moment.
Of course, aside from the kind smile I’ve seen for the first time in my life…
‘It’s not like Duke of Garcia. If I come out like this, I would rather be someone who knows that I will hold Lavaltor’s hand, right?’
But despite Ian’s appearance, the duke smiled.
“Other than that, I can’t help degrading.”
“Why? It wouldn’t be too difficult for Garcia.”
“Yes. But it is difficult for the prince of today.”
So Ian, a gentle smile telling him to throw away Lavaltor quickly, laughed out loud.
So Ian nodded his head coolly.
“All right. I understand the intent of what the Duke is saying.”
After this, I will go as I first thought.
It was time to turn around.
Garcia smiled as if he had guessed where Ian was going.
“Even if you go to Lavaltor, well. Lavaltor is currently in a state of mind to deal with the barbarians of the north. Besides, since he is an honest guy, he also pours out his money on his soldiers, so he won’t be able to help the prince.”
Ian snorted.
It looks like he’s trying to stop him from going to Laval Thor somehow, but well.
‘He’s the duke of heaven. No matter how wealthy you are than Garcia, there’s no way you can’t manage the annual fee.’
Ian ignored it and turned around, the Duke of Garcia said.
“Are you going to visit Lavaltor?”
“no? I had no intention of visiting Lavaltor from the beginning, did I?”
“Yes? However···”
Ian raised the corners of his lips looking at the peacock’s expression.
“Who said that in the first place? I would not be able to do anything without the help of the two dukes.”
“Well?”
The Duke of Garcia had an unfamiliar expression on his face, but Ian smiled.
It was natural.
‘It’s not hard to get money using my future knowledge. I just wanted to hide the use of that information.’
And from the beginning, Ian had no intention of asking Garcia for a loan.
He was just trying to get a top to run the money and a paddle to negotiate. Because he didn’t get Garcia, he didn’t even try to use the peacocks.
However, it was absurd to receive help from the 3 princes who had a connection.
‘The moment you ask your brother for help, your father will immediately take over the Crystal Palace.’
He was still the one to stay.
In the first place, this test of wealth must have been intended to be conducted without the help of an existing guardian.
Is that so?
“The Duke of Garcia was well received. I will not forget the treatment I received.”
“Prince?”
Ian added a word to Duke Garcia, who had a bewildered expression on his face.
“At the most, I wanted to do something that would be a big money for the Garcia family, but it’s a pity for me.”
“!”
Duke Garcia raised his eyebrows as if asking what it was, but Ian soon ignored it and returned to the castle.
Karan seemed to be watching Ion from behind.
“Your father must have had a reason. Otherwise, he would have cut it so coldly…”
“yes. It would be.”
“!”
In fact, Ian knew more about the duke than Karan.
Karan immediately told Ian.
“Then, shall I go out and get some money? I don’t have much time, but if I stay up all night in the gambling room . . .”
“yes. that money wellCollect it and save it step by step. I’ll buy you some candy.”
“?!”
Ian immediately took out the list of nobles and maps.
And Ian sees one thing.
‘What I need are people with resources or big tops.’
There were a few rising celebrities, but none came to mind with whom to negotiate.
Perhaps the most important thing in a battle between nobles is force and wealth.
It’s because the brothers have already taken all the net worth that could be a source of wealth.
‘The incense candle gun is still in the process of collecting evidence.’
Because of this, it was impossible to bring the nobles out. At least I have to choose the person who will betray me the least…
And that was when Ion looked at the list and thought about it.
smart
Gallon came in with the sound of the door.
“Lowering. Guest. Who wants to see the prince?”
“Yes? A guest, not a teacher?”
“yes. I am the Count of Arya.”
Aryan family?
Ian immediately handed over several pages of the list of nobles he had seen.
‘There is, too.’
The Arya family is a refusal family who owns a huge top and supplies. It was one of the most wealthy factions after Garcia.
But in the past, it was a family that financed the 3rd Prince.
At that moment, I wondered why he would come to him.
Oooh!
Ian’s

Meanwhile, after Ian left. The Duke of Garcia was immersed in his thoughts in the study of his mansion.
And towards him, Garcia’s eldest son Julich approached him.
“After all, as his father wanted, he did not support the 7th Prince.”
As if displeased with Duke Garcia, he looked at his dearest child.
“Do you know why I have no choice but to do that?”
“What are you asking? father.”
It was the Garcia family with a lot of money as it was called the Garcia of wealth.
But it had only one weakness.
“If we step forward this time, the royal family will be in trouble.”
“I saw it right.”
The cost of the royal banquet was nothing to Garcia. Also, he could ignore the scandal that it was solved with money.
But the problem is the relationship with the royal family.
In fact, Garcia had never contributed to the royal family’s finances until now.
But what if Garcia’s money is used for royal events due to Ian’s work?
“I don’t know how that guinea pig Elaine will come out. That wild beast that has been targeting our family until now.”
He could have given Ion a test that required wealth in the future.
That way, no matter how wealthy the Duke Garcia was, he wouldn’t be able to close his leaky holes.
Of course, it wasn’t even the Garcia family that was going to be so turbulent like that, but there was no noble who liked unnecessary expenses.
“Maybe it was aimed at that in the first place. We are aiming for the wealth of our family.”
So far I haven’t been able to afford it. If I supported Ian in earnest, the atmosphere would definitely change.
Because of this, Duke Garcia fell into his thoughts.
‘But if the prince took our hand, he’d be willing to give it to me.’
And as if reading those eyes, Yulihi tilted his head.
“Isn’t that a throwaway hand?”
Duke Garcia was silent.
Julich laughed at the rare reaction.
“Did you like it that much?”
“That’s because he’s worth more than you think.”
Well, I felt a little bit taken advantage of, and I was pissed off that I was on the same line as Lavaltor, but it wasn’t bad.
There were benefits too.
“But… it’s just that you’re just being beaten like this.Not like us.”
“You are right. father.”
I don’t know what plan Ian is up to, but Garcia was going to leave Ion alone for this time.
‘Like the Crystal Palace. It’s an uncomfortable palace that doesn’t even help our family even if it’s a prince.’
As for gaining the honor of being the king’s palace, the loss to Garcia was greater than the gain.
So he went straight to the palace with his eldest son.
It was to meet King Elaine.
Well, I got a letter from Garcia asking if he could help Ion.
And they will declare that they will not help at all this time.
That was when I arrived at the main palace.
“haha. Aren’t you Duke Garcia?”
Someone stopped Garcia.
He is none other than the Earl of Bondas. He was one of the factions that usually followed the Marquis of Adelas. However, there seemed to be some excitement.
“It seems that the Duke has also heard the news. how about this The 7th Prince, did you say that you chose Lavaltor over Garcia?”
“…”
Duke Garcia’s eyes became cold at the Count’s laugh.
It’s not even the world’s Lavaltor, and at least the Count would say something like that to himself?’
However, he thought he was getting closer to the throne of the first princess he served, and he was excitedly chatting with him, whom he would not normally be able to talk to.
“Besides, I think even the Crystal Palace will belong to our first princess. It will be a big deal.”
At first, I was just trying to listen.
“After all, it doesn’t seem like that’s why things without a root can’t be done. I’m going to run to the Duke of Zorre and beg for it. But don’t worry. We knew that and we told you in advance. I wonder if the noble Garcia family can help the 7th Prince who chose Lavaltor, who is like a thorn in his eyes.”
Judging from the situation, it seemed that the conversation with the king had already ended.
But it didn’t matter.
“is it? Because it’s a waste of time… I really like to walk in vain.”
“yes? Duke?”
“I’m talking about someone else’s nonsense.”
“Heh heh heh. He’s good at joking.”
The Count felt something uneasy, and his fingertips became cold. He was smiling obviously, but it was because of the bloody momentum of Duke Garcia.
just as expected. At that moment, the duke who turned around muttered a cool sigh.
“I have changed my mind.”
Earl Bondas trembled with an eerie feeling.

Maybe… did you pull out the tiger’s beard?
But when he turned around, Duke Garcia had a bloody smile on his face.
“This time, help the prince, help him, and make him realize that he can’t do anything without Garcia.”
It would be better to let the prince know that there is no hole for independence.

But by that time.
“Prince? What are you doing?”
The moment when a guest arrives and
It was natural.
‘Is there a limited number of people who can react to this?’
Even more so, this feeling is definitely the energy I felt a while ago.
Is that so?
Ian got the guest Galon spoke of straight in.
But soon, Ion had no choice but to narrow his brow.
“Nice to meet you. 7th Prince lowered. My name is Count Arya Lees.”
The reason I came in was unexpectedly because it was a middle-aged lady I had met for the first time.
But
So Ion bit the people around him.
“Sir Gallon. I want to talk to you alone for a while.”
“It cannot be. In any case…”
“This is a royal castle. If there is anything, I will call you right away.”Galon seemed to have no choice but to leave immediately without saying a word.
“Why doesn’t Confucius Karan go out?”
“Yes? Of course, I am the prince’s servant…”
“Go away.”
“yes···”
It seems that Karan wanted to spy on why a nobleman with a wealth comparable to Garcia came to visit Ion.
But there was no rush.
thud
Only after the door closes
Ian raised the corners of her lips as she looked at Count Arya.
“Why don’t you show yourself what you saw now?”
“What do you mean by that? I’m···”
“If you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do about it. That power is just what I have. In lieu of the price of incense candles.”
That was the moment.
bang!
The gentle-looking Count jumped up.
At the same time, she looked at Ian with eyes full of anger.
“Give me back my power! Rather, who the hell are you!”
“Who is it? prince of this country. Rather than turn it back to its original shape? Otherwise, I will call on Sir Gallon again.”
At that, Galon might have reminded him of what his subordinates had suffered.
Count Arya skinned her face in embarrassment.
north!
Then, the middle-aged lady disappeared in an instant, and the face of a beautiful woman she had seen in her slum recently appeared.
Probably in his early 20s, it was the same merchant that Karan introduced him to.
However, unlike back then, there was no makeup close to makeup.
It must have been because I was wearing the skin of her face.
She asked, biting her lip.
“How the hell did you know about the country?”
“What happened to that face before that? How did the Royal Guard pass?”
“You answer my question first.”
“If you tell a prince of a country like that, you will be arrested. You won’t find any more power.”
The woman, startled by Ian’s words, managed to suppress her anger and calmly lowered her head.
“It is made of human skin. If you wear magic tools and enter the royal family, you will soon be found out.”
Ian’s expression was worth seeing.
“There’s a killer here, so I’ll have to ask him to catch him.”
“········Yes, yes? No, wait, don’t get me wrong! I didn’t kill a person, I just borrowed the skin of a dead person!”
At her unexpected information, Ian was interested as if she had ever done that.
“Then, if that’s the case, will I be able to go to the royal family as much as I want?”
At Ian’s dazzling eyes, she put on an expression that said the woman was ridiculous.
“Is that important now?”
“For me?”
“phew. Yes. With this alone, you can get in to some extent. Of course, the top-ranked knights will find out right away, but please return your strength first! That’s my power!”
Apparently, she believed the lie that if she wanted to regain her power, she would come and find her.
‘Even so, I don’t know how to return it.’
But she has no reason to speak out of my mouth.
‘I called because I was curious about where he got that power.’
And that wasn’t what was important to Ian in the first place.
“therefore. What connection are you with the Aryan family? Is it a simple disguise?”
“I am under no obligation to answer.”
“Hey, just let me use this power well.”
“················································· I am the head of the Arya family.”
“!”
Ian was rarely surprised.
‘Was the owner of the Arya family such a woman?’
she doesn’t remember
And according to the information on the Nobility List, and from my memory, the Count of Arya was a middle-aged woman.
Ian’s eyes darkened a bit.
“It wouldn’t be a lie.”
“It is so simple that the royal castle tells a lie.I don’t, though.”
Ian smiled softly.
‘If that’s true.’
Now that she can’t get the help of the Duke of Garcia, she could have been a very good solution. In the first place, if such a nobleman became his power, it was because Ion would not have to rely solely on Garcia.
and···
‘I didn’t know about her back then because of her makeup and the dark basement lighting…’
Ian’s eyes sharpened as he looked at the woman’s face without her makeup.
She was quite a beauty, but now her appearance was not important.
She said, ‘She’s a familiar face no matter how you look at it.’
It was definitely someone’s face. Even she resembles a person she met recently.
‘What does it have to do with Line?’
The tactician Line who was with Mercenary King Gerard.
But now it wasn’t that important.
“Are you listening? Power up…”
“Ah, yes. Count Arya. Can you lend me some money, then I will return it to you? Indefinitely, interest-free. No, for free.”
“???”
The expression on her woman’s face was commendable.
The end
