Chapter 142: 142

Chapter 142

TL: Zimming

The next afternoon, the chairman, who came to the mansion, narrowed his eyes to me.

“You look like a carp.”

“Hey!”

He grinned as I frowned.

“Your eyes look like carp, but it seems like things have gone well.”

I turned my head, coughing vainly.

“Chairman, dad has been in the office for a long time.”

“……Will I finally die today?”

“I don’t know, but my dad and brothers knew everything now. They also know that you’re my person.”

I only talked to my dad yesterday, but when I woke up in the morning, my brothers came and asked, “Kid, is your adult thinking going well today?”

I was flabbergasted, and Henry said, “I guess it’s working today. It’s a shame.”

‘I guess dad told them.’

And my brothers seem to have forgiven me. It was a relief.

The chairman sighed.

“I could die today.”

“But my dad forgave you yesterday…”

“What he said might be different from what he does.”

That said, he is the chairman of the senate who should defend Dubbled if anything were to happen. He knew the information that would harm Dubbled but did not inform it.

‘That was also one of the reasons I couldn’t reveal my identity’

While I was thinking so,

“Leblaine.”

I raised my head to the sound of a voice on the stairs.

“Henry!”

Johann and Isaac were seen coming down together behind him.

“Kid, why don’t we go to father’s office? Father called us.”

“Yes. And…….”

When I glanced at the chairman, quick-witted Henry smiled. Coming down the stairs, he reached out to me and said.

“It’s alright. If we want to kill him, we would have done so yesterday.”

“Is that so……?”

Henry nodded and glanced at the chairman.

“If we think rationally, we’re lucky the chairman helped you. There was someone who could control the situation.”

“That’s right! Chairman-”

“Though emotions may be a different matter.”

When Henry’s eyes became cold, the chairman flinched. However, I quickly followed my brothers.

After five years with me, he’s been very gracious, but he’s still my dad’s biggest opponent, the chairman of the senate. I’m sure he could manage on his own,

‘That’s why I was able to have the chairman by my side.’

Me, the chairman, and my brothers entered my father’s office.

We sat on the sofa and my dad started talking.

“Let’s discuss the future of the mercenary guild.”

The chairman looked at father in surprise at the word “mercenary guild”. I was surprised too.

The first person to open their mouth was Henry.

“First of all, trust is what matters. We need an agreement that they will never reveal Leblaine’s identity.”

Henry took out a piece of paper.

“Life contract…….”

“That’s right, Leblaine.”

“That’s a dangerous thing that destroys your body if you break your promise!”

“That’s why we need it now.”

“The chairman will not disclose my identity under any circumstances.”

“Do you really think so?”

I flinched at Henry’s words.

“I looked at the people you chose. The leader of hope mercenary guild, hope mercenary guild assistant, Zachary and Chairman, all of whom are more valuable than you. Anyway, they are people who won’t sacrifice for you.”

“…….”

“I’m sure the reason you chose them is because of it. If you chose someone like Lea, she would sacrifice herself for you. ”

“…….”

“There’s trust between you and your people, but we can’t rest assured by that alone.We need something more binding. We’re going to make Dubbled independent.”

“……For me?”

“For all of us.”

The chairman grabbed my sleeve.

“Henry is right. We need to do something.”

“But……!”

“Let us be responsible for the choice. Little miss, you have no right to take responsibility from us.”

“…….”

“We live together, we die together. That’s how much this old man bets his life on you.”

The chairman wrote the name on the contract first. Soon, it glowed red, and a tattoo appeared on the chairman’s body. It disappeared quickly, but it was like a leash.

Next was Johann, Henry, Isaac, the last one was dad.

It felt very strange to see people writing their names down. It was very sad, but at the same time, some emotions rose inside of me.

After dying three times, I met people who absolutely trusted and loved me in my fourth life.

‘I’m really happy.’

I sniffled. Isaac saw it and grinned mischievously as he grabbed my nose and shook it.

“You’re crying again, crybaby.”

“…….”

“As expected, you look better as a younger sister than older sister.”

Isaac crossed his arms and nodded solemnly.

“What?”

“I don’t know your previous life. All I know is you, a nine years old. That’s why I’m your older brother! Do you understand?”

What are you talking about?

I tilted my head, but Henry and Johann smiled.

Henry, who had been quiet for a long time, opened his mouth again.

“Good, then the chairman should also seek assistance from Seria, Zachary and Trigon.”

“Yes.”

“Next is the Marquis of Nodelli…… father, as Leblaine has heard from the dead Vallua, it’s our chance to throw away Duke Marche.”

The Chairman asked, “An opportunity?”

“Marche and Nodelli have a special relationship. To the extent that Marche continued to support Nodelli’s ridiculous business.”

“Support?”

I opened my eyes in surprise.

‘Marche? No way!’

Why does the wise old man do that?

“Leblaine, Duke Marche have a mercenary guild called Loconus secretly.”

“Loconus……I’ve heard of it somewhere…….”

“Maybe you heard it while you’re researching Nodelli. Loconus has helped Nodelli several times, including his umbrella business.”

I nodded. Me, the chairman and hope mercenary guild have limited resources to search for information.

‘It’s certainly easy with the help of my dad and brothers.’

The father who owns the empire’s leading intelligence group, or Henry and Johann, who had many connections, could gather a lot of information I couldn’t reach.

‘Oh, but I think I heard Loconus somewhere else…….’

I was so shocked yesterday and cried until I collapsed that my past memories seem fuzzy.

‘What was it?’

“What umbrella business? The mage had preoccupied the market by selling functional umbrellas. Just why would they…”

“The owner of the Loconus is actually Duke Marche’s younger brother’s cousin, Jenned.”

“The empress’s brother?”

I took a deep breath.

“Mina’s mercenary guild!”

“……what?”

“Mina, the child of fate. Mina bought several mercenary guilds to earn relief money in my first life, one of which was the top of Loconus.”

“In the eyes of those who don’t know, Loconust must be an ordinary guild, but why the child of fate?”

When I turned my head, I could see that they were surprised.

Dad, who opened his eyes wide, said.

“We can’t skip the mercenary guild that Marche runs secretly.”

“Then…….”

“There’s a good chance that he’s entangled with the real child of fate.”

“After loconus mercenary guild became Mina’s, it grew rapidly. After that, they changed the name to nus mercenary guild, so no one remembered the name loconus, but nus mercenary guild is very famous.”

“How come?”

“Because of their prediction. When natural disasters occur, they prepare the necessary supplies faster than anyone else…like drought.”

“Yes, great drought!”

Suwon is needed because a major drought is coming soon. By the way, nus mercenary guild, or the loconus, was linked with the disaster before it became Mina’s.

Henry laughed when I said it.

“They knew there would be a disaster.”

“……He must’ve told the Marquis of Nodelli that a great drought was coming.”

“Disasters are unpredictable.That means…….”

All of our eyes got cold.

“It was created on purpose. To get their hands on wealth.”

Isaac frowned at my words.

“But how? If they had really predicted a disaster, Nodelli’s business wouldn’t have gone bankrupt again and again.”

“He can’t create the perfect disaster. There is possibility of failure. So he must’ve used Nodelli to somehow lower the risk.”

The chairman nodded.

“It’s clear that Nodelli and Marche are not on the same side. So if Nodelli and Marche are fighting…….”

Henry’s mouth twitched.

“We have to reach out to the poor Nodelli. Of course, after cornering him.”

My dad raised himself up.

“We need to corner him.”

I smiled brightly and raised my hand.

“I can help! If Nodelli and Princess Ingrid get divorced, he’ll need a lot of money, so he won’t be able to refuse help from hope mercenary guild.”

There was a wicked smile on their faces.

After a few days, dad led the nobles to the palace and petitioned for the punishment of the Marquis of Nodelli.

Of course the Marquis of Nodelli, who allegedly tried to poison me using his child, could not escape punishment.

The Marquis of Nodelli was ruined. Considering that he was from a founding family, the punishment was reduced. While he was almost dead, Princess Ingrid offered a divorce.

***

One day in the middle of summer, the Marquis of Nodelli finally divorced!

Princess Ingrid took the diamond mine and moved in with the empress dowager.

The empress dowager had to be reinstated as an imperial family in order to give her fortune to her daughter. So,Elizabeth was forced to remove her name from Princess Ingrid’s family registry.

This is because the child of Princess Ingrid, not the successor of the Marquis of Nodelli, has the right to inherit the throne. She was now deprived of her status, which she was so proud of, and became only a child of a poor marquis.

Since the Marquis of Nodelli became very poor because the diamond mine was taken.

Elizabeth’s reputation was completely ruined now.

As Princess Ingrid’s daughter, there are some people who couldn’t go to great lengths to get revenge, but it’s different now. I was in a very good mood.

‘It’s time to reach out to the Marquis of Nodelli!’

I came out to the shopping street, on my way to the top mercenary guild.

“You’re in a particularly good mood today.”

“Yes!”

I was so happy that I almost ran and couldn’t see properly.

“Ah!”

When I bumped into someone, I rubbed my forehead.

“Excuse me, are you okay?”

It was a familiar voice. I hardened then looked up and gulped.

“Are you hurt? Show me.”

I know this person very well.

Because he was the father in my first life.

“Duke Amity…….”
