BX. THE SERIAL NUMBERS ON THE DOCUMENT AND THE KEY ARE A MATCH. !!! PROCEED WITH THE NEXT VERIFICATION STEP! WHAT ABOUT THE ID CHECK? WELL... THE SCRIPT IS UNLIKE ANYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN. I'LL NEED TO MAKE A COPY AND FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN DECIPHER IT. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON? FELPE BANK DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ITS CLIENTS, BUT THE MINIMUM DEPOSIT TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT OR A SAFE IS SUBSTANTIAL. YOU'D HAVE TO BE THE HEAD OF A MAJOR CORPORATION, ROYALTY, OR AT THE VERY LEAST, HIGH NOBILITY TO OPEN A SAFE HERE... AND NOW SOME FOREIGN WOMAN IN A SHABBY COAT SHOWS UP AND HANDS ME A KEY? A KEY TO A SAFE THAT HASN'T BEEN OPENED IN 25 YEARS, NO LESS? SHE COULD HAVE MADE A HIGH-QUALITY FORGERY. OUR AUTHENTICATION PROCESS WILL DEFINITELY CATCH IT, SO UNTIL THEN— WE HAVE THE RESULTS FROM THE KEY ANALYSIS. AND? WHAT'S THE VERDICT? THE KEY IS GENUINE. HOO... DID YOU SEE THE YOUNG LADY? SHE'S SO OBVIOUSLY A FOREIGNER. MAYBE I SHOULD'VE COVERED MY FACE. OF ALL THE THINGS FOR THEM TO FIND STRANGE... IT'S SO HOT. I WISH I COULD TAKE THIS OFF, EVEN FOR A MOMENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. OUR VERIFICATION PROCESS HAS CONFIRMED THAT THE KEY IS GENUINE. ...!!! PLEASE EXCUSE OUR INADEQUATE SERVICE. Here Is Your Key. AH. RIGHT. YOU ARE EXCUSED. ...? W-we Are...? AHEM... YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU ARE NOT THE ONE WHO ORIGINALLY OPENED THIS SAFE, CORRECT? YES. AS A RULE, THE RIGHT TO ACCESS A SAFE BELONGS SOLELY TO THE INDIVIDUAL WHO OPENED IT. HOWEVER, SINCE THE OWNER OF THIS PARTICULAR SAFE HAS NOT APPEARED IN OVER 20 YEARS, THE OWNERSHIP RIGHTS OF THE KEY'S POSSESSOR ARE ALSO RECOGNIZED. SO... DOES THAT MEAN I CAN OPEN THE SAFE NOW? NOT QUITE. WE STILL NEED TO DECIPHER YOUR IDENTIFICATION. WHILE WE RECOGNIZE YOU AS THE SAFE'S TEMPORARY OWNER, I UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU. WE ASK FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN IT WHILE THE VERIFICATION PROCESS IS ONGOING. LET ME RECONFIRM THE ISSUING COUNTRY OF YOUR ID. DANGGUK...? IS THAT CORRECT? IT'S DANGUK. DAN. GUK. AH... MY APOLOGIES. DANGUK. HERE IS YOUR CERTIFICATE OF OWNERSHIP FOR THE KEY. RIGHT... ?!!! SOMEONE'S WATCHING ME. FROM BEHIND THE DOOR... WE'LL NEED TIME TO DECIPHER YOUR ID, SO YOU MAY HEAD HOME FOR NOW. PLEASE WAIT HERE A MOMENT. I'LL CALL A CARRIAGE FOR YOU. WHO WAS THAT? AND WHY...? THE MOMENT YOU REVEAL THAT KEY IS IN YOUR POSSESSION, YOUR LIFE WILL BE AS PRECARIOUS AS A CANDLE IN THE WIND. I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. MA'AM, WE HAVE A CARRIAGE WAITING FOR— WHERE DID SHE GO? MAYBE SHE ALREADY LEFT? I DIDN'T HEAR HER LEAVE... COME TO THINK OF IT, THIS IS STRANGE, TOO. WHAT IS? THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO MUCH SECURITY TO EVEN GET TO THE VIP ROOM. HOW DID SHE GET IN WITHOUT GOING THROUGH ANY OF THE PROCEDURES? HERE!! MY, MY. A WOMAN SHOULDN'T BE OUT AND ABOUT ALONE THIS LATE AT NIGHT. PLEASE TAKE ME TO THE BUSIEST INN YOU KNOW. THE BUSIEST INN, YOU SAY... YOU GOT IT, MISS. DON'T YOU WORRY. I'LL GET YOU THERE SAFE AND SOUND. AND SO, THE "OWNER OF THE KEY" WHO'D APPEARED OUT OF THE BLUE IS DEFINITELY INFORMATION THAT ARROGANT MAN WOULD FIND INTRIGUING. I'M SURE OF IT! ANYTHING NEW AT FELPE BANK? I KNEW IT! HE MAY HAVE MADE A GRAND ENTRANCE LIKE HE WAS SOMEBODY IMPORTANT, BUT AS LONG AS I HAVE THE INFORMATION HE NEEDS... HE WON'T BE ABLE TO KEEP UP THAT ARROGANT ATTITUDE FOR LONG! HA. HUH...? MARQUIS? WHAT IS— GRAND DUKE BADEN. I WILL ASK YOU ONE LAST TIME. IS THERE ANYTHING TO REPORT FROM FELPE BANK? W-WELL... SOMEONE CAME TO THE BANK... WITH THE KEY YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. IT WAS A WOMAN. SHE HAD IDENTIFICATION, BUT— IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO DECIPHER. THEN... WHEN CAN I OPEN THAT SAFE? I SUPPOSE IF YOU WERE CAPABLE OF HANDLING IT, YOU WOULD HAVE DONE SO ALREADY. U-URGH... KERGH... URGH... MY CONDITION WAS FOR YOU TO OPEN THE SAFE WITHOUT A KEY. IT SEEMS YOU'RE MISTAKEN ABOUT SOMETHING, YOUR GRACE. DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I HAVE INSIDE THAT BANK? URGH... MARQUIS... H-HOW DARE YOU... TREAT A ROYAL FROM ANOTHER NATION WITH SUCH DISRESPECT— KERGH! HOW DO YOU KNOW... WHAT MEASURES I MIGHT TAKE— MEASURES? FROM THE LIKES OF YOU? GAH! ACK! GACK! AND EVEN IF YOU DID, HOW MUCH OF A BLOW WOULD THAT BE? AFTER 25 YEARS, THE KEY IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN INSURANCE POLICY. ISN'T THAT RIGHT? I GOT A GOOD-FOR-NOTHING WHO CAN'T EVEN LIVE UP TO HIS TITLE INTO THE NORFOLK ROYAL ALLIANCE MEETINGS AND EVEN MADE HIM PRESIDENT OF THE BANK... BUT INSTEAD OF SPYING ON THE ROYAL FAMILY LIKE YOU WERE TOLD, YOU WERE LEAKING MY MOVEMENTS TO THE KING OF LUXEN. AT THE VERY LEAST, YOU SHOULD HAVE EARNED YOUR KEEP AS BANK PRESIDENT. WHAT I EXPECTED FROM YOU WAS TO OPEN THAT SAFE WITHOUT A KEY. URGH...! NOW THAT THE KEY HAS APPEARED, YOU'RE WORTHLESS TO ME. JUST STAY DOWN AND KEEP QUIET. MMPH! MMMPH...! URGH! OH MY... THE KEY? WE'RE TRACKING HER. THE OWNER OF THE KEY... AFTER ALL THAT TIME I SPENT SEARCHING FOR IT... HOW AMUSING. WHERE IS SHE NOW? WELL, HERE WE ARE. THE BUSIEST INN. THIS IS IT. WELCOME, MISS! I'D LIKE TO STAY FOR ONE NIGHT. OF COURSE. WE JUST HAD A NICE ROOM OPEN UP. RIGHT THIS WAY. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Atonement, For Your Cruelty #3: Chapter 2](/series/atonement-for-your-cruelty-3u5rla9z/chapter-3-qrfiud) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/atonement-for-your-cruelty-3u5rla9z ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
