Thoughts of the Brilliant Count’s Daughter (4)
“When investigating the Ranford territory in secret, it became clear that numerous debts were incurred in Lord Diaz’s name.
Furthermore, they claimed things that were supposed to be assets of Lady Marie.
“As I suspected…”
“Prime Minister, at this rate, Lord Diaz will…”
How shameless can that audacious mother-son pair get?
No, there’s something more important now.
“If we let this continue…”
“There’s no need to worry.”
“Huh?”
“The man known as Diaz Ranford isn’t a fool to that extent.”
The Prime Minister understood Lord Diaz well.
A few days later, there was a report that Lord Diaz used his personal property to clear the debts and divorced his wife.
“An expected outcome.”
“But now, there’s no lingering attachment.”
I can ruthlessly drive that man to hell.
“Prime Minister, please spread rumors as much as possible. And if possible…”
“What is it?”
“Make sure that woman doesn’t receive information about Lord Diaz.”
This is just my imagination, but Lord Diaz is suited for diplomacy.
He’s exceptionally talented.
Until now, he was likely being exploited by that detestable wife, left with no usable money, leading him to destitution.
“Given his personality and talent, he’d likely achieve a title by his own efforts… No, other countries won’t leave him alone either.”
“You’re quite perceptive.”
“Not at all.”
I could tell from just a little observation.
Lord Diaz’ excellence and his unawareness of being deceived.
Lady Marie has inherited it well too.
Even if they stay quiet, people around won’t leave the two alone.
“If they learn that the two of them can produce gold, they’ll come crawling back.”
“That’s true…”
“I won’t allow such a thing. So, let’s take the initiative.”
If it was before receiving a title, it would be difficult to handle.
But after gaining a title and securing support, what would happen?
“And you must ensure that the Ranford territory doesn’t get handed over to Shepherd under any circumstances.”
“That is under control.”
“Understood.”
Shepherd hasn’t taken under the inheritance procedures.
As long as he doesn’t fulfill the requirements of becoming the heir, it will default to a relative of his.
“Before long, the Viscount’s household will likely be demoted to a baron.”
“Huh?”
“Think carefully. The Ranford family’s previous patriarch was an excellent man, and that’s why they were granted the Viscount title.”
I see, that’s how it is.
Truly foolish mother and son.
They will finally get to know, after all this time, who was responsible for their comfortable life.
I’ll make those two suffer as well.
And I’ll make that overly doted-on son realize how much of a fool he is.
Keep watching.
I won’t let you have your way, no matter what.
