When I Announced A Divorce, The Obsessive Maniac Went Crazy - Chapter 84

“Hah…”

In the quiet library again, I sighed.

Every moment is breathtaking.

Rather, I wanted to drink alcohol and forget my worries.

Just like the last time I drank soju with Cesare until the film stopped.

And at that moment, there was a lightning bolt of realization that hit my head.

“There were other possessors besides me!”

It felt like a big hammer hitting my head.

Why did I forget that? There were things from the world I lived in, including soju and MP3’s.

And there is a man who sold it to them. The person of the voice recorded on the MP3!

The sound quality wasn’t good, but the voice on the recording said something about possession!

If the man even had the original novel… And if I could get that book…

I would be able to create a revelation based on the original novel that would contain the only truth that Gabriel is justified in becoming the next emperor.

“I have to find that man.”

After getting lost and drifting, I finally found the answers.

*****

Count Peliard’s mansion in the capital.

“Hmm, hmm….”

The mansion’s owner, Knox Peliar, hummed.

He was in a very high mood right now.

It was because last weekend, a millionaire who would save him visited the top of Peliard.

‘Hello. I came here after seeing an advertisement that said you were looking for investors.’

He was also a very young and stupid millionaire.

Besides, looking at his appearance, he seemed like a lot of fools.

“Hum…”

Count Peliard laughed.

There was no opponent as easy as a young aristocrat who had just moved to the capital.

The man who had inherited a fortune from his grandfather had the status of a Baron, who wanted to leave the small territory and enter the social circles of the capital.

He was looking for a place to invest his inheritance to make his splendid debut, and the top of Peliard caught his eye.

‘Are you really saying the return on investment can be tenfold?’

‘Exactly. I swear by the status as Count. There are several people who have already made a fortune by investing in me.’

‘Oh oh. Is that true?’

‘Yes… This is a secret, but do you know Viscount Dragon? He have made a lot of money by investing in the flower trade I was dealing with in the past. Ten times something. He have earned twenty times as much.’

‘You’re amazing! The Count has foresight! People like me need someone like the Count.’

The man who was praising Count Peliard soon showed his will to sign a contract.

But right now, he left after saying he would come back because he didn’t have anything properly prepared.

And today, the investor has decided to visit Count Peliard’s residence to conclude the contract.

Count Peliard pulled out a contract from the drawer of his desk. It’s a great contract that has supported his business so far.

Judging by the size of the man’s fortune, with this one contract, this one contract could have paid off all the interest he owed and provided him with financing.

“Daphne, if you had listened to me properly, I wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble….”

Count Peliard clicked his tongue briefly.

She was a woman who had been so well-behaved before her marriage. She went down to the Burstoad Territory and returned as an idiot.

She glared at her stepmother…

It was thanks to her that we were able to get married.

It was Camilla Peliard, who had advised him to marry her, or sell her to a wealthy family.

The news that Daphne had filed for divorce had also been heard by Count Peliard.

Once a woman is divorced, she becomes a member of the family again.

It was the exclusive right given to Count Peliard, the head of the family, to decide where Daphne would remarry.

He was determined to make a big deal out of Daphne’s marriage this time.

If she was a worthless girl who would never carry on the family name, it was only right that she should serve the family in this way.

Besides, this time, a huge fish called the Crown Prince was also fluttering with interest.

“Darling.”

Just then, the door opened and Camila Peliard entered the room.

The Countess, dressed in alluring robes, was beautiful and seductive, but somehow smelled rancid.

“Camilla.”

“My love.”

Count Peliard hugged the Countess by the waist and pulled her back.

Camila made a playful kiss and kissed Count Peliard.

Camilla fluttered her eyelashes and secretly stroked Count Peliard’s neck.

“If anyone sees your dignified appearance, they will fall in love with you.”

“That’s why I won you.”

“Haha.”

The Countess let out a childlike laugh.

she asked with a seductive smile.

“When are the guests coming?”

“We made an appointment at two o’clock, so he’ll be there soon.”

“If this contract is successful, will we be able to solve the financial problem?”

“Yeah, I’m going to get some good wine tonight.”

For Count Peliard, today’s contract was nothing short of a success.

There’s nothing easier than smashing a stupid and ignorant young nobleman.

“We should celebrate this good day.”

“How about taking it out after a long time?”

“That?”

“Why, you know, something pleasant.”

The Countess leaned against him like a snake and whispered softly.

Count Peliard’s face hardened.

“Camilla, aren’t you still using drugs?”

“Oh my, Darling doesn’t trust me that much.”

“Camilla.”

“No. I just said it. Let’s take it out after a long time, and you know that they’re only good for helping me relax in the first place, and you know that better than anyone….”

Count Peliard’s lips hardened at the whispered words.

He glared at Camilla Peliard.

Under his menacing gaze, Camilla finally raised her hands.

“If you don’t like it darling, there’s nothing I can do about it. I also like wine.”

“Today is an important day. It has to be done without mistakes.”

“I see. I only believe in you. I can’t stand in the way of men’s business, so I’ll stay out of sight.”

Just then, a servant came in and announced that the waiting guest had arrived.

The Countess checked the Count’s clothes.

As he went down the stairs, he found three people sitting in the drawing room.

Count Peliard was startled and ran out.

“Crown Prince?”

Originally, only young investors were supposed to visit his mansion today.

At the sudden presence of Gabriel, Count Peliard looked both happy and surprised.

Gabriel faced the Count with a bright face.

“I am sorry for my sudden visit, Count. I think there was an appointment, did I interrupt you?”

“No, no! It is always an honor for us here at Peliard to be visited by Your Highness!”

Count Peliard waved his hand.

The young investor was a valued associate, but not as valued as the crown prince.

“We talked for a while while waiting for the Count, and he told me a very interesting story. I want to invest in the Count’s business….”

Gabriel smiled at him.

In an instant, the Count instinctively realized that the Crown Prince was also interested in investing.

He has no idea Bruce is Gabriel’s assistant who disguised as a young investor, was a plot by Gabriel.

The Count welcomed him with great joy.

“If you don’t mind, Your Highness would like to hear the story?”

“Really?”

“Yes, there can be no greater honor than this if you are with us. Isn’t that right, Baron Surveille?”

“I am also honored, Your Majesty.”

Gabriel looked worried for a moment and then smiled.

“Then it shall be.”

“Yes!”

Count Peliard exclaimed inwardly.

It’s my lucky day.

If he could trick that foolish Crown Prince into a larger investment, the financial problem would be perfectly solved.

“But….”

Count Peliard glanced at the man standing behind Gabriel.

It’s his first time seeing his face.

Gabriel, who noticed Count Peliard’s gaze, rolled his eyes and introduced him with a smile.

“It is my servant. His name is Lee… No, Udyr… Anyway, it’s nothing to worry about.”

“Yes.”

The Count rolled his eyes.

*****

Udyr!

Lee Jong-woo cried out in frustration.

Why did he make up the name Udyr? It doesn’t sound like I’d be able to change my posture quickly.

Lee Jong-woo sent Gabriel a look of resentment.

The gaze was heated, and Gabriel glanced at him for a moment.

Then he smirked at Lee Jong-woo, who was screaming silently, and concentrated on the conversation with the Count again.

Lee Jong-woo trembled.

He so mean…! really!

Obviously, my first impression was that he was a rough and gloomy beauty, but now he looks like a devil with a tail.

Perhaps he had made a mistake in his image of Gabriel.

The first time we met, it was like a crazy man suddenly attacking him, so I can’t help it…

I don’t know how I came to follow him to Peliard’s mansion in the first place.
