He earned a whopping 300 million gold in just one day.

And the Duke's trust is a bonus.

While everyone was cheering, Erilot laughed secretly.

'Thank you, sir.'

─Muttering to myself.

* * *

After Daymond and Erilot returned, the Duke was in a very good mood.

He picked up the reinforcing stone and let out a laugh.

“Mr. Debussy said, moving his teacup.

“I see that Lord Daymond is finally getting along with the Duke.”

“Why him.”

“Could it be that the young lady really found the reinforcement stone and presented it to the Duke? It must have been under the orders of Lord Daymond.”

“You still lack the ability to judge people.”

At those words, Count Debussy paused.

"yes?"

“Have you taken a proper look at the erilot?”

“What are you talking about.......”

“If it was my father who told me to do something, I would have looked at him at least once to confirm that it was right.”

“.......”

“But his gaze was fixed on me from beginning to end.”

As if he knew the flow of power at that young age.

The Comte Debussy narrowed his eyes as if thinking about something.

“Come to think of it, he was a special person even when he was in his prime.”

The story of discovering the land where dragon bones are hidden.

The incident where the duke was saved from a raid.

An incident where a medicine with an unprecedented effect was brought as a birthday present.

'And now there's even a reinforcing stone.'

“How can a young lady achieve something that even adults cannot do so easily? It is truly a great stroke of luck.”

“Do you remember what was written in the diary of the first lord?”

“How could I not know?”

"All luck is inevitable."

Even if Daymond had touched the strengthening stone, it was Erilot who made him give it up.

The Comte Debussy raised his eyebrows in amusement.

'Maybe I can see it.'

A three year old boy growing up in the 12th tower is crushing all of my cousins.

* * *

People were amazed when they saw us return with five carts full of gold.

The officials watched in bewilderment as their servants moved the gleaming gold bars.

The soldiers also stuck out their tongues.

Enzo looked at his father with a shocked expression.

“So, you’re saying that you earned all that money, Miss? How on earth did you do it...?”

“The old man gave it to me.”

“You’re just going to give me 300 million gold? And that’s under Daymond’s jurisdiction, which is basically the same as beating the Duke?”

“I really liked Erilot’s answer.”

“What on earth was your answer?”

My father didn't answer, just frowned and said, "Fuck."

As if I never wanted to say it with my own mouth.

Michelangelo approached me, having instructed his servants to move the gold.

“Can I move all the gold and silver to the private warehouse?”

"no!"

"underneath......?"

“In the budget warehouse.”

People's eyes were suddenly focused on me.

My father also looked surprised.

“Erilot, that’s the money you earned. Move it to your private storage.”

“But. The fort needs to be repaired, the weapons need to be replaced, and the flood relief fund needs to be provided. (But. The fort needs to be repaired, the weapons need to be replaced, and the flood relief fund needs to be provided.)”

"what?"

“I’m using it. Because I’m the master of the territory of Eriloth and Demond! (I’m using it. Because I’m the master of the territory of Eriloth and Demond!)”

The managers' eyes widened.

The soldiers and servants all opened their eyes wide when they saw me.

My father's expression hardened.

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“Sam Sam Mi. The baby shouldn’t have money. It’s dangerous.”

“.......”

“And if I’m happy with Abami and the Demond Ganharyeong people, I’m fine.”

Okay then.

"miss......."

“Young lady.......”

The managers who had been looking at me with tearful eyes gathered around me and cried loudly.

It must have been quite a burden up until now.

'It's all good for me.'

Prices are going to go up like crazy due to some incidents in the future.

For example, something like that.

In the past, an apartment in Seoul cost around 70 million won, but now it costs around 1.7 billion won.

So when I have the money to spend, it becomes pocket change.

'But I can't keep holding on to the reinforcement stone.'

If the Reinforcement Stone is in Daymond's jurisdiction, there will be a lot of people targeting it.

For safety reasons, it had to be disposed of.

'So we need to invest in the jurisdiction now so that we can earn more money in the future.'

It also caught the eye of my grandfather.

As I was groaning and holding on to the adults who were clinging to me, my father suddenly picked me up in his arms.

“Let’s let the jurisdiction borrow money from you. When you are old enough to need the money, I will return it to you at the market price.”

Then he ordered the managers to write a loan certificate.

'Anyway, I said he was a devoted father.'

But it was a good thing for me too, so I nodded and said, “Yeah!”

The money I lent to the Daymond Territory was 200 million gold.

The managers shouted at me and washed me down.

“Long live the young lady!”

“Hurrah, hurrah!”

I laughed out loud.

The castle got busy.

There was a mountain of work to be done, but progress was being blocked by lack of funds.

But when money came in, the clogged hole opened up and water began to pour out.

“With this money, I can buy the Orichalcum weapon......!”

“Wait, wait. The wall needs urgent repairs. Mix in some dragon bones to make a strong wall.......”

“Well septic tank! Now, each village needs to have a well septic tank.......”

The managers' faces sparkled even after working all day.

I passed a room where my father, the administrators, and the barracks commanders were having a lively meeting.

“Miss, I have brought a guest.”

The maid Betty came walking towards me and said.

“Where are you?”

“Miss, you are in the reception room.”

I nodded and went up to the room.

Han Ji-hyeok was sprawled out on the sofa in my living room.

“What? What’s going on?”

“I always have something going on.......”

He sipped his iced tea with a very tired expression.

Only then does he come to his senses and let out a deep sigh.

“I was chased by the guys I scammed yesterday. I was thinking of jumping into the sea.”

“Still, I survived safely.”

“I wonder if I got chased once or twice?”

I shook my head as I watched Han Ji-hyeok speak proudly.

Han Ji-hyeok shook his shoulders and said, “I don’t have any money now, so if I get caught, it’s death.”

I pointed to the bag I had left under the sofa in the living room.

“Fifteen bars. (Open it.)”

Han Ji-hyeok opened his bag with a puzzled expression.

and,

“Wowaaa ...

I quickly closed my bag, startled as if I had seen a monster.

“This, this, this, this, this.......”

“.......”

“That, that, that, gold, that, gold......!”

Han Ji-hyeok, who was holding his heart, took a deep breath.

I said, holding up the glass of milk.

“3.85 million gold from the auction house, plus 3 million from Yaksokan. (3.85 million gold from the auction house, plus the promised 3 million.)”

“......!”

“Now I’ve collected the amount I need to raise. (Now I’ve collected the target amount.)”

Han Ji-hyeok's goal was to collect 5 million gold and leave.

His dream was to settle down in a distant foreign country and live like a nobleman, commanding people.

I took something out of my pocket and placed it on the table.

“It is a token of gratitude given spontaneously.”

“......What is it?”

“New single. (New identity.)”

Han Ji-hyeok opened his eyes wide.

And then I picked up the identification card I had put down.

[Han Ji-heok.

1203, Born in Astra Daymond.]

The reason Han Ji-hyeok has been chased by scammers up until now is because he was unable to properly forge his identity.

Even if you forged your identity through a broker, you would be quickly discovered by the nobles who have access to your personal information.

So I... ... .

“Michaelan, would you please do me a favor?”

“If you please.......”

“I have a friend who gave me a Kang Haseok. He said he did something bad and is being chased. So please stop chasing me. (I have a friend who gave me a Kang Haseok. He said he did something bad and is being chased. So please stop chasing me.)”

“Ah, if that’s the case, I can help you.”

As expected, he was from a family of villains, and the butler of that house.

Michelangelo answered confidently, without even wondering what the bad thing was.

Michelangelo was a man who had access to all parts of the jurisdiction.

Naturally, we also had access to the archives containing the directories of this jurisdiction.

So it was nothing for him to insert a single page of a boy named [Han Ji-heok]'s documents into the directory archives.

That's how a new boy named [Han Ji-heok] was born.

'As expected, assistants should be planted everywhere.'

While I was grumbling like that, Han Ji-hyeok said.

“What is Han Ji-heok? With sense.......”

Even while grumbling, his gaze never leaves the identification badge.

“Thank you for your hard work, Jihyuk.”

“.......”

“Now live the way you want. Don’t be hard on yourself, and don’t do things you don’t want to do. And if—”

"hey."

I was about to say something, but Han Ji-hyeok cut me off and frowned.

“Do you think I’m stupid?”

He suddenly frowned and continued speaking.

“I saw you earn 3 million gold in less than a week and you want me to go now?”

"what?"

What is he talking about now?

I was so shocked that I looked at Han Ji-hyeok, and he looked so confident.

“Five million gold! The cost to pay the illegal immigration broker! The salary of one servant for my old age! This is the amount calculated after considering everything! I have to live very frugally!”

“I wish I had a little more money.”

“That’s not important!”

But why are you mad at me for that?

Are you crazy?

Han Ji-hyeok coughed loudly and looked at me.

“You take responsibility.”

“......?”

“I made you pay for it, so you should take responsibility for it.”

You were originally interested in money.

“What?”

“Put it next to you and use it!”

"I am......."

“Ah, you can’t go, you can’t go! If I kick you out like this, you’ll be possessed— woof!”

I quickly shut his mouth.

Of course, there was no one in the reception room and the noise was well blocked out, but I was still concerned about the guard outside the door.

“Be quiet─”

“Then why did you call me Jihyuk?”

"......what?"

“Why did you say you knew how I felt? If you were going to throw me away like this... d*ck.”

Han Ji-hyeok's eyes turned red.

I had forgotten, but he was a young boy who had just turned twenty.

A young boy who was suddenly reincarnated and went through all kinds of hardships, there's no way he wouldn't be lonely.

I took a deep breath.

“First, let me say this─”

“I can’t go!”

I hit Han Ji-hyeok on the forehead with a bang.

“Let me talk too!”

“.......”

“I was going to suggest that we work together. (I was going to suggest that we work together.)”

"......lie."

“It’s fake.”

The original first goal was to plant Han Ji-hyeok outside.

But if you force it, you never know where that personality might lead.

First of all, I gave you a choice.

Are you going to run away and live as you wish?

or not.......

“If you help me, I will not run away and will live.”

“.......”

“You don’t have to run away, you can live comfortably here. (You don’t have to run away, you can live comfortably here.)”

“.......”

“I’m very affectionate to my people!”

When I closed my eyes and lifted my chin, Han Ji-hyeok snorted and said, “Oh my.”

I opened one eye slightly and looked at him.

Han Ji-hyeok, who had been glancing into space, cleared his throat and spoke.

“What... how much of a luxury are you going to make?”

In Ice Black Hand, Han Ji-hyeok was Dahlia's enemy.

Han Ji-hyeok originally lost all his money to the one-eyed man and became crippled.

That was the turning point.

'Fucking world.'

Even if I worked fairly, they wouldn't give me a place to live, so I lived desperately, even if it was mean.

But if I was pushed into a corner like this, there was no other way.

'I'll kill them all.'

Han Ji-hyeok's setting is that he becomes dark and becomes a dark money lender.

The good Dahlia brings down Han Ji-hyeok, who squeezes the blood of the common people.

'If you think about it, you could say it's a mid-boss level.'

However, there were not many lines from Han Ji-hyeok in the novel.

I wondered why... ... .

'I guess that's because saying that your personality is tsundere ruins the mood.'

I laughed out loud.

“Mani. Very much. (A lot. Very much.)”

“What should I do?”

"first......."

When I gave instructions to Han Ji-hyeok, he nodded and said, “Well, there’s nothing I can do.”

This is how I got my hands on the dark money lender.

* * *

A few days later.

A letter arrived from Han Ji-hyeok.

I said “Thank you!” to Betty and opened the letter.

[I said I would do it.

[The female ghosts are so cute, I can't even tell.]

We decided to communicate in Korean.

But I wrote ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) it in such a messy way that anyone who knows the ancient language might be able to figure out the meaning even a little.

Korean is really good.

No matter how you write it, the meaning is conveyed!

I nodded and put Han Ji-hyeok's letter into the fireplace.

As I was pushing the letter in with the lighter, Betty laughed heartily.

I tilted my head.

"why?"

“The evaluators are coming today. They’ll all be surprised because my surname has improved so much since last year.”

Today was evaluation day.

Employees led by Michelangelo.

Soldiers centered around Enzo.

And the managers prepared it with great care.

'I hope I get first place in the evaluation!'

They get a big budget and they also put pressure on other second generation kids.

“Did you hear that?”

“What?”

“The young masters are coming with the evaluation team!”

Then the maids who were cleaning my room shouted, “Whoa—!”

But I missed the trigger.

“Oh, my lords?”

“Yes. Master Balzac and Master Joshua. Your older brothers!”

My father has two other children besides me.

He was the brother who was adopted by his father after his father's twin uncle, Lisian, died.

Balzac Astra.

Joshua Astra.

They are the 4th and 2nd children in Astra's minor ranks respectively.

Geniuses who are considered to have the greatest potential among the 3rd generation (grandchildren of the Duke).

and.

'In Ice.Black.Son, the Balzac and Joshua that Dahlia relied on the most... ...!'

They say there are mountains beyond mountains,

I was just starting to feel relieved after earning some money, and now you call that brother, you damn novel!
