“…under.”

Duke Elcain burst into laughter at the commanding words.

“I don’t like it. Why should I listen to you?”

“Because I came first.”

“What is the order in paying off debt? The one who pays first wins!”

“I probably have more money than you.”

“You, you!”

Duke Elcain, who was trying his best to keep the conversation calm today, ended up exploding again.

“You’re ignoring our eastern region right now! I have a lot of money too! Are you bragging about your money because you have more mines than us? We have a lot of mines too! We have a lot!”

Of course, it was nothing compared to the high-end mines that abounded in the western region, but that didn’t mean I was in a position to hear such things.

“Oh man, if you put it that way, I guess I have to solve this.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The gazes of the two people who were arguing turned to the smiling Duke of Nora.

The two people who saw him were speechless.

Duke Nora, the leader of the southern region that owns the golden granary.

It wasn’t just a granary. It also had several valuable mines and many solid businesses that had been maintained by families for generations.

“Should I just handle it myself?”

“What are you talking about! I said I’ll do it.”

“Both of you go away. I got here first.”

Click.

As if to prevent a renewed argument, the reception room door opened and two people entered. It was the Persian Grand Duke Kainel and his aide Del.

“… … .”

Kainel, who sat down without saying anything, tried hard to keep the corners of his mouth from rising at the gazes of the three dukes who were staring at him intently.

It was the same at the last conference. I could clearly feel the wariness and hostility in their eyes.

“What is happening here… Sio.”

Kainel, who was about to speak out of habit, trailed off.

‘Friends of my deceased parents.’

He clicked his tongue lightly as he recalled what Ceres had said last time. He also didn’t forget the warning look in her eyes telling him not to treat her carelessly.

“I heard that the Archduke has the documents of our Ceres’ debt.”

There was only one reason why the three dukes came to see Cainel today. They saw Ceres with Cainel in the Imperial Conference Hall and investigated the reason, and found out about the debt.

Agnes, you already knew very well that the man who drew the woman had incurred a lot of debt.

I was planning to settle that debt sooner or later. But this was the first time I learned that the Grand Duke of Persia had paid off all those debts for me.

“I heard you even wrote a contract.”

I learned that the reason Ceres appeared in the Imperial Conference Hall was not because she was the owner of the Tamer Relic, but because of the relationship she had with the Grand Duke of Persia due to the debt document she had. After learning this, I immediately went to find the Grand Duke of Persia.

“Why would you wonder that?”

“I think I should tear up that contract.”

“Why you?”

“I am the guardian of our Ceres.”

Duke Nora smiled brightly, his eyes narrowed.

“Wait, wait! You, don’t be sneaky. Hand me that contract.”

“I told you both to drop out. Give me that debt document right now. I’ll take care of it right away.”

Following Duke Nora, Dukes Elkein and Schweiss also spoke to Kainel without hesitation.

“… … .”

Kainel, who had been quietly watching the actions of the three people, eventually raised his lips in a crooked manner.

“You came now?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The three people’s mouths snapped shut at his casual remark. It was a remark that hit them right where they hurt the most.

“It’s late, but I’m going to try to solve it now.”

The one who broke the silence was the Duke of Schweiss. He faced Kainel with an indifferent expression that still showed no emotion, and let out a short, silent sigh.

“There is no reason for the Persian Grand Duke to have the documents of debt owed to the Draw Man. Please hand them over.”

At the firm words of Duke Schweiss, Duke Elkein nodded his head eagerly, looking at him with encouraging eyes for the first time.

“Hmm.”

Kainel’s smile grew even deeper. Aide Del, who had been quietly watching from the side, let out a long sigh.

‘You don’t like it.’

Although not as good as Ceres, he had served Kainel for a long time and was able to read his expressions to some extent.

“What if you don’t like it?”

As if Del’s guess was correct, Kainel’s voice became extremely relaxed. Like a predator taking its time before biting its prey.

Del shook his head slightly as he watched Kainel’s lips rising even higher.

“Are you saying that it is a rejection?”

The problem is that the opponent is not a simple prey.

The black eyes that met Kainel’s cold silver ones shone fiercely.

“That’s right. It’s a rejection.”

“All right.”

The Duke of Schweiss immediately stood up from his seat.

“What? You’re just giving up?”

“Ber, are we really going to go on like this?”

The ones who were more embarrassed by that sight were Duke Elcain and Duke Nora. Aren’t you giving up too easily?

“Ceres, let’s try to resolve this with the child directly.”

I was trying to resolve this quietly without burdening the child, but if the Grand Duke of Persia was going to act like that, there was no other way. I had no choice but to meet Ceres and resolve it myself.

As he left the reception room, he looked back at Cainel for the last time.

“I hope today is the last day we meet in private. I have been very rude.”

Kainel’s smile deepened at his polite but definitely wall-breaking appearance.

“Well, I guess we’ll see each other again.”

“… … .”

Suddenly, a strong wind blew into the living room. But soon, as if it were a lie, the wind died down and the Duke of Schweis left the place.

“Let’s go for now. If you change your mind later, please contact us. We’ll come running right away.”

“That human isn’t going straight to Ceres, is he? Let’s go quickly!”

Duke Nora and Duke Elcain also gave up on persuading Kainel and left.

“Can we send them off like this?”

As the three dukes left, Adjutant Del carefully asked, personally removing the teacups placed in front of them.

Del has already investigated the relationship between Ceres and the three dukes. Of course, he has also reported it to Cainel.

We have already investigated the fact that they have been taking care of the children while being extorted from Ceres’ aunt, Agne, for a huge amount of money.

However, Del was inwardly impressed by the three dukes who did not make a single word of excuse in response to Kainel’s sarcasm asking what right they had to pretend to take care of Ceres now.

“I don’t like it.”

“What is it?”

“Just everything.”

The sight of the three of them acting as if Ceres were their real child, as if they thought they were closer to her than she was to me.

“…Ceres laughed.”

Looking at them.

It was a brief moment, but that one look on her face was enough to tell Cainel that Ceres had already opened her heart to them.

She is the type of person who doesn’t give up her side easily, but once she thinks of someone as hers, she never lets go of their hand.

“When did you see it?”

Kainel let out a dumbfounded laugh as he recalled their gazes at him with disapproval, as if they were interfering with his daughter’s social relationships.

“Still, I don’t think it’s right to send these three people back like this.”

“what.”

“If Lady Ceres knew about this… … she told me not to treat her carelessly.”

“… … .”

Kainel’s expression, which had been filled with annoyance, gradually hardened, and his crossed legs returned to their original posture.

“… We didn’t fight.”

“It was a bit of a fight though.”

“…I did my best.”

“Yes, yes.”

Del shook his head and headed outside with his teacup in hand. Looking at him, Kainel frowned deeply.

“I really did my best.”
