The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 118

“That, that’s… … !”

When the stolen ledger was found by Shailene just before descending upon the earldom, Viscount Robben’s face turned pale and frozen.

“How could that be to Young-ae… … . Could it be that Young-ae was the one who sent a spy to our top?!”

Shailene shrugged and did not respond, but Viscount Robben knew that it was a silent affirmation.

Shailene opened the ledger in front of him calmly and said while turning the pages.

“Your Majesty, you are truly a great man. Raising a merchant group through smuggling.”

“… … !”

“This is in my hands now, but in a few days it will pass into the hands of the Duke of Diat.”

She smiled, gently shaking the ledger in her hand.

“What will happen then… … Your Majesty, you know better, right?”

Viscount Robben clenched his jaw at the obvious threatening tone.

If you investigate the smuggling case at the Duke of Diat’s house, it will be reported to the Imperial Palace without him having a chance to stop it.

This meant that the entire Robben family would be summarily executed.

‘No matter how much I desire the title of count… … it’s not worth risking my life for.’

Smuggling was considered a felony under imperial law, and if done wrong, one could easily receive the maximum sentence at trial.

“… … Okay, fine! Let’s say the Charophet family gives up! Then what about the money I spent on Gwen and Janice?! How are you going to compensate me for that!”

In the end, Viscount Robben, who had given up the earldom, protested in order to get some money.

However, Shailene, who had no intention of paying off the Count and his daughter’s debt, asked back with a bewildered face.

“Why are you asking me that? I didn’t spend the money, so you should get it from your mother and Janice. It’s none of my business.”

At those words, Gwen’s shoulders jumped up sharply. She clenched her fists, watching the Viscount’s expression.

‘Spicy thing, could you please wrap us up a little… …!’

Gwen opened her mouth venomously, cursing Shailene’s indifference in not taking their side until the end.

“If the oath becomes invalid, then we have no reason to pay you back, oppa. It’ll all be like nothing happened!”

“Gwen, you… … .”

Viscount Robben, whose blood pressure rose at his brother’s impudence, grabbed the back of his neck.

Looking at the siblings whose relationship had completely broken down by this point, Shailene thought.

‘If it were me, I would have asked for forgiveness from my brother, even if it meant preparing for the future.’

Wouldn’t that leave room for clinging later?

However, Gwen, who only knew how to look at the immediate profits and situation, was desperate to avoid paying the money.

“Yeah, that’s right. The money I spent on you was just a charity!”

Viscount Robben, who had barely regained his senses, declared while glaring at Gwen with bloodshot eyes.

“But today is the end for you and me, Gwen Charophé. Don’t ever call me family again! From now on, I’ll live as if my brother is dead!”

“Huh, okay.”

Gwen replied blandly, feeling a sense of relief inside. At any rate, my debt to my brother was paid off with this.

So the Count of Robben left the count’s residence in a state of rage.

Shailene officially took over the Countess of Charophet from Gwen, who was completely oblivious to her mistake.

All that remained was to sort out the count’s household while the papers sent to the capital were processed.

It seemed difficult for Mandy to manage the mansion while watching over Gwen on her own, so she brought in a special assistant from the capital.

It was Paul.

His experience and gentle charisma, having led the Diat family for decades, were essential to me, who currently had no position in the mansion.

“Everything went well while I was away, Mandy?”

“Yes, Lady Gwen fired half of the mansion’s staff. The existing maid and butler were also kicked out, so Butler Paul posted an ad to temporarily hire new people.”

Mandy quickly downgraded Gwen’s title from Countess to a title, explaining it in a hushed tone.

Gwen was secretly trying to keep a few of her people, but he caught her with his eagle eye and pressured her into firing her.

Oh my, our Mandy is so pretty.

After giving her a lot of compliments, I called out to Paul, who had come down here because of me and was suffering.

“Thanks for coming to help, Paul.”

“No, my lady. Lord Bartholomew and the Duke have asked me to be of great help to you.”

Paul smiled kindly. His personality was truly in stark contrast to that of our original butler.

“Well then, I’m sorry, but can I make you suffer a little more?”

“Do as you wish. I have already been ordered to return with you, young lady.”

Oh my, it’s clear that my entire cousin family is angels.

If a family’s butler is away for a long time, it will be uncomfortable for them, but they took the risk and sent Paul to me.

“Then, fire all the remaining existing employees and replace them with new people. If it’s too much trouble to fire everyone right away, you can take your time.”

“Okay, I’ll do it step by step.”

Paul stepped back and gave orders to Mandy.

“Call the maids to pack Mother and Janis’s bags. Tell them to pack everything, not leaving a single hair strand behind.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Mandy moved briskly. Soon, the luggage for two people was piled up in front of the entrance.

Gwen and her daughter came to see me several times, but I didn’t want to be a bother, so I didn’t meet them.

But he was also quite persistent, so he knocked on the door of the room I was in and appealed to me every day.

“Shailene, are you really going to kick us out like this?!”

“Sister, come out and talk! If you suddenly tell us to leave, where are you telling us to go?”

I deliberately did not respond. I was tired of arguing any longer, and I intended to be desperate enough to die.

You didn’t listen to me when I was locked in my room and begged to be let out, right?

“Excuse me, miss. Gwen and Janice asked me to call a porter.”

“Tell them to call it what they want with their own money. If it’s too hard, just drop your bags and go.”

Instead, Mandy had a hard time communicating between mother and daughter, but that didn’t last long.

The day finally came when Gwen and her daughter were kicked out of the Count’s mansion.

“The two of you said you wanted to see the young lady one last time.”

“Stop talking nonsense and go.”

In the end, I didn’t meet the two people, so I stood by the window and looked down at them.

They didn’t have money to hire porters, so they tried carrying a few bags among themselves, then threw them down in frustration because they were too heavy.

‘Oh my, I still haven’t come to my senses.’

They were in terrible condition and could barely carry a few bags.

I watched the two figures stagger out of the mansion and walk away, then opened the window and shouted excitedly.

“Yahoo! Freedom!”

It was a historic moment when I was able to banish my stepmother and stepsister who had terribly oppressed me from my life forever.

I feel so relieved, like a tooth that was aching has fallen out.

It’s been 20 days since I came down to Baekjakryeong.

When the capital authorities approved my succession to the title, I officially became the Count of Charophée.

The earldom was now my own fief, and the small fortunes of Gwen and her daughter, save for their debts, were mine as well.

– Tiring!

【Congratulations! You successfully completed the mission this time tooദ്ദി˶˙ᵕ˙˶ )

As a reward, we will give you a hint ticket that you can use on the next mission ♥

Please note that the next mission will take place near the County of Charophe, so please wait while managing your territory until then!】

Huh, what? You can’t just go up to the capital?

I was a little taken aback, as I thought I would be back within a month. However, since a mission occurred here, I couldn’t just ignore it and move.

‘And actually, I have to solve the territory problem and go… … .’

It was great to inherit the family and the estate, and to bring in new servants to the mansion.

The problem was that I had never received any successor training, so I was a complete novice in running a fiefdom, and I couldn’t just sit here and learn.

“Haa, how do I solve this… … .”

It was an unexpected person who showed me the way while I was wrapped up in my worries.

“There are people who belong to the Count Charophet family. Choose one of them whom you can trust and make him your agent.”

When I kept sighing, Carl asked me what was wrong, and after hearing what was going on, he gave me some advice.

“Anyway, as the new head of the household, the help of vassals is essential to take control of the household. If you create a solid side, it will be much easier for the master.”

“Wow… … Carl, that’s really helpful for me right now. That’s such a good idea.”

Thanks to our smart servant, I found a breakthrough and got moving right away.

He held a meeting and gathered people to host ‘Produce Gasin 007’.

There is one purpose.

I will choose one of the seven members of my family to become my representative.
