Excuse me? A workspace? For free? I'VE SECURED REBERT'S COOPERATION, SO I NEED TO PREPARE A NEW WORKSPACE FOR HIM... ...BUT I'M NOT THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY, SO I CAN'T SPEND MONEY HOWEVER I WANT... I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PERSUADE HEAD BUTLER MATTHEW, WHO CURRENTLY OVERSEES OUR FINANCES. COME IN. IT'S UNUSUAL FOR YOU TO SEEK ME OUT, MY LADY. I don't know whose side Matthew is on right now. After my parents passed away, Matthew took great care of me for a while, but at some point, he slowly began to distance himself from me. I can't be entirely certain, but Uncle Colcos must have bribed Matthew back then, too. If so, it's highly likely that Matthew is siding with Count Colcos now. I'D LIKE TO HIRE AN APPRENTICE TO WORK UNDER DALLAS. COULD WE DISCUSS THIS? HIS NAME IS REBERT. AN APPRENTICE, YOU SAY? DALLAS SHOULDN'T REALLY NEED AN APPRENTICE. IS THERE ANOTHER REASON YOU'RE HIRING ONE? I DISCOVERED GREAT POTENTIAL IN THE PAINKILLERS HE'S CURRENTLY DEVELOPING. I WANT TO MAKE AN INVESTMENT. IS THAT SO. MAY I ASK YOU ONE QUESTION, MY LADY? ...YES. I HEARD FROM JANICE. SHE SAID YOU WANTED TO BRING A NEW DESK INTO YOUR ROOM FOR OFFICIAL WORK. THIS IS RATHER UNUSUAL FOR SOMEONE WHO NORMALLY HAS NO INTEREST IN SUCH MATTERS. MY LADY, ARE YOU PERHAPS... ...PLANNING TO OFFICIALLY TAKE ON THE DUTIES OF HEAD OF THE FAMILY? AT TIMES LIKE THIS, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ANSWER HONESTLY. EVEN IF I DON'T KNOW THE PERFECT RESPONSE, I MUST DO MY BEST. YES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'LL THINK OF THIS, BUT... MY PARENTS SPENT YEARS BUILDING THE FOUNDATION OF IRENBERG... ...SO I WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT MYSELF. ...I SEE. PLEASE FOLLOW ME, MY LADY. THERE IS SOMETHING I WISH TO SHOW YOU. WHERE IS HE TAKING ME WITHOUT SAYING A WORD? IF MATTHEW IS ALREADY COLLUDING WITH COUNT COLCOS, I MIGHT BE WALKING STRAIGHT INTO ENEMY TERRITORY RIGHT NOW. IT IS RIGHT HERE. WHAT IS THIS PLACE? THIS IS A VAULT THAT THE LATE DUKE AND DUCHESS LEFT BEHIND FOR YOU. NATURALLY, EVERYTHING INSIDE BELONGS ENTIRELY TO YOU, MY LADY. MY PARENTS LEFT THIS... FOR ME? HIS GRACE LIKELY COULDN'T HAVE FORESEEN THAT ACCIDENT, BUT HE INSTRUCTED ME TO HAND THIS KEY TO YOU ONCE YOU TOOK ON THE DUTIES OF HEAD OF THE FAMILY. I KEPT QUIET BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS TOO EARLY TO SHOW YOU WHEN YOU WERE SO YOUNG, BUT YOU'VE MATURED MUCH SOONER THAN I EXPECTED. THIS IS A PORTRAIT OF OUR FAMILY... I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW A VAULT LIKE THIS EXISTED IN MY PAST LIFE. UNCLE MUST'VE HIDDEN IT FROM ME. MATTHEW... THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M NOT YOUR FAMILY, MY LADY, BUT... MAY I DARE TO OFFER YOU A HUG? ...OF COURSE! THANK YOU, MY LADY. ONCE YOU OFFICIALLY BECOME THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY, I'LL BE ABLE TO DIE WITH- OUT ANY REGRETS. I'LL DO MY BEST. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MATTHEW. FOR REMINDING ME WHAT I WAS TRYING TO PROTECT. I THOUGHT MATTHEW HAD BEEN BRIBED BY MY UNCLE... ...BUT WAS HE JUST DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE HE THOUGHT I HAD NO INTEREST IN THE FAMILY? NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, MATTHEW WAS NEVER OVERLY FRIENDLY WITH MY UNCLE, EITHER. I can't believe I ever suspected a man like Matthew. Matthew is such a good person... AND IT'S A HUGE RELIEF. WITH THIS MUCH MONEY, I WON'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE CARRYING OUT EVERYTHING I NEED TO DO. AT LEAST UNTIL I OFFICIALLY BECOME THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY... I can even prepare Rebert's workspace, and much more! YOU CAN COME IN. MY LADY...! ...FLACK? WHY ARE YOU HERE? PRINCE CASSION'S CONDITION HAS TAKEN A TURN FOR THE WORSE...! ...THESE SYMPTOMS ARE DEFINITELY... ...FIRST, I NEED TO GIVE HIM AT LEAST A LITTLE MEDICINE... WILL HE BE OKAY...? ...CASSION. CASSION! YOU... YOUR HIGHNESS, YOU'VE AWAKENED! THANK GOODNESS! YOU INSOLENT SERVANT... I CLEARLY TOLD YOU NEVER TO RETURN! B-BUT... FLACK DID NOTHING WRONG. HE JUST CALLED FOR ME IN A PANIC WHEN HE SAW HOW CRITICAL YOUR CONDITION WAS. IF I HADN'T ACTED IMMEDIATELY, SOMETHING TRULY TERRIBLE COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU, YOUR HIGHNESS! ...WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF I DIE? WITH A BODY THAT COULD GIVE OUT AT ANY MOMENT, WHY DO YOU KEEP WORRYING ABOUT ME...? WHY WOULD YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT? KNOWING HOW MUCH I CARE ABOUT YOU, YOUR HIGHNESS, PLEASE DON'T ACT SO INDIFFERENT AND SPEAK SO LIGHTLY OF YOUR OWN LIFE. JUST ASK FOR HELP. I'LL GRANT WHATEVER YOU ASK OF ME, YOUR HIGHNESS. IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP EVEN NOW, PLEASE TELL ME. YOU'LL GRANT ME WHATEVER I ASK...? THEN... BUY ME A HOUSE. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — I bought the villains with money #8](/series/i-bought-the-villains-with-money-8vputcbm/chapter-8-yxiiux) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/i-bought-the-villains-with-money-8vputcbm ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
