I Bought the Villains With Money - CH 30.2

I didn’t know who it would be, but for the Prince to succeed to the throne, he had to get used to the noble’s faces in advance and earn his favor.

‘My father was invited every time. I got an invitation again this year.’

Even after my father died, the invitation came. But I didn’t receive it.

At that time, the designation of a guardian was completed, so Count Corcos received it and he went instead.

It was a time when he started to get close to Dyson, so he might have sent me an invitation, but it was strange to think about it.

Maybe Count Corcos didn’t let him invite me to consolidate his power.

“So, we have to go there?”

“Yes.”

“Go there?”

“To get permission to get married.”

He leaned his body completely against the cushion between Cassion’s armpit and the table.

I expected a big reaction, but seeing him drooping, even I felt weak.

“Talking to you makes me run out of energy.”

“You mean you like my plan, right?”

He shook his head but did not object.

“Your Highness, do you hate it because I rush things?”

“Not that I don’t like it. As you said, only good things will happen after I marry you.”

It sounded like you didn’t believe it, since he had no other way anyway.

“More than that, Diana.”

His voice shrank. I guess he was about to fall asleep.

“Yes, go ahead, Your Highness.”

The color on his face was slowly fading away. When would you continue talking even though you were tired like you played too much?

“Do we need to keep calling him someone whom we don’t need to bother to call his name? It’s hard.”

I guess it was hard to say it every time we talked.

“Yes, let’s just go with the bad guy.”

“That sounds right….”

At the end of the sentence, Cassion fell into a deep sleep.

He said he couldn’t sleep when someone else was around. That seemed to be a lie.

I patted Cassion’s hair, which was dropped in front of his face, and called Pollock.

“Yes, Miss Diana.”

“Put His Highness on his bed.”

I left the palace after making sure that Pollock carefully picked up the Cassion and laid him on the bed.

It had been a while since we had a peaceful afternoon, and I hoped for the peace to last.

***

A relatively calm and quiet day ensued. Thanks to the uproar I made at Phoenix Bank the other day, Phoenix Bank’s reserves were withdrawn.

The president of Phoenix Bank tried everything to fix it, but the situation only got worse.

‘It’s time to play the bankruptcy card.’

Janice put a snack on the table.

“I’m sure the president of Phoenix is looking for someone who can turn over the situation at the bank.”

Rumdrax was the first to address the issue. He mumbled with a snack in his mouth. It was similar to what I thought.

Now, Rumdrax was staying in the mansion as my teacher.

Matthew’s white face came to mind when I first brought him as a teacher.

Matthew was disappointed, saying, “Why didn’t you tell me in advance if you needed a teacher?”

Ever since then, he had a bad spot for Rumdrax, a strange outsider.

Rumdrax pretended to be a nice gentleman, but Matthew wasn’t going easy on him.

He was a deacon of the Irenberg family and had lived well over 20 years.

Matthew offered to examine whether Rumdrax was qualified as my teacher.

Rumdrax followed him while thanking him for the opportunity.

I was nervous even though I knew that Rumdrax was a great con artist.

However, in the face of my displeasure, Rumdraax passed Matthew’s rigorous screening with ease.

According to Janice, Matthew showed Rumdrax how to be a good example of an educator.

“How do you know a lot?”

“……I heard.”

In any case, no one heard the news faster than Janice in the mansion. It was always fascinating to know everything when she was always with me.

Anyway, Matthew was also nicely fooled by Rumdrax.

‘I might get fooled at this rate.’

As I thought about how I should be careful and make him stick to their deal, I discussed the next step.

“Make friends with the president of Phoenix Bank. It’s also good to meet as a big investor.”

“They might ask me to invest a lot of money.”

“Then express your disapproval. Phoenix Bank’s situation is not good to invest a large amount of money in, so don’t forget to ask questions about bank management during the discussion.”

Rumdrax put down the cookies that he was eating and sat down on the sofa, kicking in the air.

Crumbs of cookies were flying all over the place.

It was amazing whenever I saw Rumdrax’s real self, courtesy, and bold behavior.

“I can’t believe such a person can change their personality at once.”

“Diana.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“I’ll be serious.”

I couldn’t believe a con man speaks seriously. I shook my head half-heartedly.

“Be my pupil.”

“I’m still your student on the surface.”

I thought he was going to take a moment to say something, but it turned out to be nonsense.

“I’m serious.”

Only then did I ponder the meaning of what Rumdrax said.

His expression crumpled.

Rumdrax was telling me to be a conman.
