Chapter 10

'The original dividend for Seymour was 68,024 times.'

I bet with him, and it's now split in half.

"La, La, Laria?"

Evan looked at me with a ridiculous look.

Evan also received 19 times the dividend, which was a great achievement, but no one paid attention.

Even Duke Icard, who had his arms crossed indifferently, gave me a puzzled look.

"Oh, my God."

Ordy came in person and tried to hand me a check that read 34,012 gold, but at my request, he handed me 34,011 gold checks and a gold coin.

"There are two people who bet on this ridiculous result…"

I returned a coin to Duke Icard.

"Father, it's all thanks to you."

"What…"

"Thank you for the lucky gold coin. I'll give it back to you, and I hope father is full of luck!"

Duke Icard received the gold coin I gave him and smiled very lightly and put it in his pocket.

'D-Did you smile? Really?'

Meanwhile, Evan seemed curious about something else.

"Two?"

He asked with a close look as if it was strange that there was another one besides me.

"Who's the other one?"

"A commoner. Eighteen, too."

'I'm sorry, Seymour… but you're going to be fine with Elani. It's going to be okay, right?'

If it goes the way it is, whether Seymour is rich or small, Evan will be indifferent to Elani, so Elani will end up having an affair again.

Rather than the male lead and female mead, who will end in a happy ending, I would end up dead.

"I'm sure there's going to be an uproar in the newspaper article tomorrow. As a result of this… I think your wife's name will also appear in the article."

"Oh, it's a bit of a burden…"

I blushed shyly, but inside I felt a good thing. It was a necessary part of my future plans.

The 34,011 gold was a lot of money, but there was not much left after the title was bought.

'I must disappear unconditionally. I shouldn't hide awkwardly. If I'm not completely gone, Duke Icard will kill me. I have to prepare thoroughly.'

So instead of dying like the original, I decided on my future by going missing.

Anyway, the results are the same!

'Only when I'm completely missing can Evan marry Elani.'

After that, whatever happens, I don't care.

And I had no intention of living in pain.

"I've already felt how comfortable it is for a noble man with a title and a land.'

It was hard for the snow to come down once more.

And I wanted to hide in luxury because it was so sad to hide without money.

I wanted to keep it to a more luxurious level, if not to this standard of living.

If I had been possessed by a rich villain, I would have dreamed much bigger, but it was a matter of survival.

'I have to have land to keep playing and eating, and I need a title to do that.'

The title was a little expensive, but I could buy it. And once I had a title, I could buy the territory.

The male lead, Seymour, also begins by buying his own title.

But there was a problem. To buy a title, I had to be at least eighteen years old, and I was fourteen years old.

If you wait until eighteen and buy a title, everything will be too late. There were many things to do after buying a title to make more money.

That doesn't mean there's no way.

'Borrowing name!

It was all about creating a fictional character.

"I make a suitable person in the document to buy a title, buy a land…."

I could make a perfect secret if I hid there.

And one more thing.

"I'm 14 years old, and I'm not free to move because I'm staying at the Duke's residence.'

That is to say, eventually, I should establish a hand and foot.

'I wish I had someone to work on the rear end. A man of ability.'

While I was thinking about this, Ordy kept making a fuss.

"You are a great young lady. Didn't you say you brought your daughter-in-law in person?"

"Well, their mother's relationship was close."

"But it wouldn't have been an easy decision to get married."

The power of Duke Icard was great, but it was no joke.

He rubbed his hands and kept flattering.

"You have a great eye. Everyone was wondering because it was such an early marriage, but you recognized that she was an angel who would bring good luck to the Duke."

That's not it… He didn't mean to bring me here…

Duke Icard looked strangely proud and coughed vainly.

I'm the one who won the money. Why are you making a proud face?

"Laria, you've adjusted well to the Duke, haven't you?"

But I answered calmly because I was weak to the strong and strong to the weak.

"Of course. I love them both. It hasn't been long, but I want to be closer!"

You're not the only one who knows how to jingle. I'm not kidding either. I am Duke Icard's hand bell.

"My father and Evan look so wonderful that I am so proud to come together like this. My new family are the Icard's, which I'm more fortunate for that than horse racing."

I went so far as to smile at the end.

Ordy answered straight as if he couldn't lose.

"That's right. Duke Icard has a great sense of humor, so he'd be great to live with."

Wait, a sense of humor.

That's enough of him, I don't think you should add something too ridiculous.

"I don't say jokes often."

Ordy looked surprised at the blunt words of Duke Icard.

"No, everyone is happy, so why don't you show that joke skill, duke?"

"Because a joke is not 'footed,' it's a mouthful."

I was frozen for a while.

'To joke…. On your feet?'

Ha, this isn't right.

'This is really not right. What's the matter with you?'

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Ordy held his stomach and laughed.

"Foot, foot! Hahahahaha! You're the best!"

This was Duke's highest level of skill, and it was old man gags.

I had to admit that I was lacking because I had a serious face for a moment.

'As expected, people should not be arrogant.'

There was no end to Evan's line.

No, why is a young man still playing such a gag.

I acknowledged my defeat neatly and vowed to go further.

"I don't think you don't have to stand in the duke's house, whether it's your feet or your mouth."

Evan, who didn't need any flattery, said the right thing with a firm look.

"Why? I'm having so much fun!"

And I, who needed Evan, smiled and sold endorphins as a set with my soul.

"Father, please do it more often in the duchy! It's totally my style."

Then suddenly my heart tickled.

'This is!'

It was a sign of a cough that felt like vomiting blood.

I jumped to my feet.

It's good to show my illness to the Duke, but I was in trouble if anyone heard the rumor. Especially in front of a representative who seems to have a big mouth…

The Duke brought me because it was a time limit that no one knew.

When everyone knew the time limit, my value of use disappeared, so he could immediately get rid of me.

"E-excuse me for a second…."

I got up in a hurry, covering my mouth with a handkerchief.

Of course, I did not forget to tilt my handkerchief to the point where it could be seen by the duke.

I had to appeal every time I had a cough.

The last look on the Duke's face was strange again.
