HE SHOULD BE FINE AFTER GETTING PLENTY OF REST. THANK YOU. YOU MAY LEAVE NOW. CAN I GET UP NOW? YES, HE'S GONE. HOW WAS MY ACTING? YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT! GETTING PERMISSION TO MARRY IN FRONT OF EVERYONE MIGHT BE DIFFICULT. BESIDES, HIS MAJESTY CARMAN WON'T GRANT IT IMMEDIATELY UNLESS HE KNOWS MORE ABOUT ME. SO, IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO MAKE A REQUEST DURING THE BANQUET, PRETEND TO COLLAPSE FROM POOR HEALTH. WE CAN USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO SECURE A PRIVATE AUDIENCE WITH HIS MAJESTY. THAT'S WHEN WE'LL GET HIM TO APPROVE OUR MARRIAGE. I THINK EVERYONE WAS COMPLETELY FOOLED. YOUR HIGHNESS'S PERFORMANCE REALLY WAS PERFECT. I'M WORRIED I LOOKED LIKE TOO MUCH OF A WEAKLING, THOUGH. WE ACHIEVED OUR GOAL, SO WHAT IS THERE TO WORRY ABOUT? DON'T DWELL ON SUCH TRIVIAL THINGS. IT'S NOT TRIVIAL. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE I'LL RULE OVER ONE DAY, RIGHT? I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO SEE ME AS WEAK. YOUR HIGHNESS... THE LOOK IN CASSION'S EYES HAS CHANGED SINCE I FIRST MET HIM. ...I ONLY REALIZED IT AFTER ATTENDING THE BANQUET. YOU WERE RIGHT, DIANA. MY FATHER DIDN'T ABANDON ME. I spent my whole life believing my father had cast me aside. Because of that, I thought no matter how much I struggled, I could never compete with Deyson or the Queen. BUT WHAT IF IT WAS ALL A MISUNDERSTANDING...? WHAT IF I ACTUALLY HAD AN EQUAL CLAIM TO THE THRONE...? I WANT TO MAKE UP FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. AND... I WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED AS THE SUCCESSOR. I'LL MAKE SURE NO ONE CAN LOOK DOWN ON ME-NOT DEYSON, NOT QUEEN JULIA, NOT ANYONE. I'VE ONLY EVER SEEN CASSION LOOKING SO HELPLESS... THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN HIM SO DETERMINED. MAYBE THIS IS WHAT CASSION IS REALLY LIKE? THAT'S A GOOD MINDSET, BUT YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT ONE THING, YOUR HIGHNESS. WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT THOSE PEOPLE THINK? THEY'RE NOTHING BUT GARBAGE WHO ARE ALREADY IN LEAGUE WITH JULIA. Hmph! I-IS THAT SO...? QUEEN JULIA MUST BE THE ONE WHO INTERCEPTED CASSION'S PRIVATE FUNDS AND GIFTS. THE MINISTER OF FINANCE WAS AT THE BANQUET TOO. IF HE'S ONE OF THE QUEEN'S MEN, IT ALL MAKES SENSE. YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE OPINIONS OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT. ONCE YOU TAKE THE THRONE, YOU WON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM ANYWAY. RIGHT... I MUST HAVE OVERDONE IT TODAY. I'M FEELING A BIT TIRED... THE EFFECTS OF THE REBERT'S DRUG ARE STARTING TO WEAR OFF. PLEASE REST FOR TODAY, YOUR HIGHNESS. OKAY... BUT DIANA... WHAT ON EARTH IS MY FATHER... HIS MAJESTY... THINKING? ...I DON'T KNOW. I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THAT MYSELF. HIS MAJESTY CARMAN... WHAT EXACTLY IS HE PLANNING? HERE, THE BILL OF SALE FOR PHOENIX BANK. YOU DID IT, AUNT! I DIDN'T DO IT ALONE. THIS YOUNG LADY YOU SENT ME WAS A HUGE HELP. OH, NO. I DIDN’T REALLY DO MUCH. THE RATS DID ALL THE WORK. The commotion at Phoenix Bank made the headlines the very next day. The tips I leaked played big part. The president of Phoenix Bank tried everything to fix the situation, But their credit had hit rock bottom and was impossible to recover. Eventually, the bank’s reserves ran dry, bringing them to the brink of bankruptcy. JANICE’S RATS WERE A GREAT HELP IN TRACKING PUBLIC OPINION. IN JUST A FEW DAYS, THEIR REPUTATION PLUMMETED AMONG THE NOBLES AND COMMONERS ALIKE. I APPROACHED THEM USING A FAKE IDENTITY AND OFFERED A HUGE SUM, AND THEY JUMPED AT THE CHANCE TO HAND OVER MANAGEMENT RIGHTS. SO, NOW... YES, THE TWILIGHT MANSION IS YOURS NOW, DIANA. THANK YOU, AUNT CHO. I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT. AND JANICE, THANK YOU FOR COOPERATING WITH MY AUNT. NOT AT ALL! I'M JUST GLAD THIS ABILITY I THOUGHT WAS A CURSE COULD BE USEFUL. IF YOU EVER NEED MY HELP, MY LADY, I'LL DO ANYTHING! A CURSE? NONSENSE. IF YOU EVER GET TIRED OF WORKING AT THE MANSION, YOU SHOULD COME TO CHORNI. CH-CHORNI IS A BIT...! I like staying with My Lady! WELL THEN, NOW THAT THE DOWRY IS READY... SHALL I WAIT FOR THE REQUEST FOR A FORMAL MEETING BETWEEN THE FAMILIES? ## See also - [WebtoonLib — I bought the villains with money #17](/series/i-bought-the-villains-with-money-8vputcbm/chapter-17-nekd9x) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/i-bought-the-villains-with-money-8vputcbm ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
