BUY ME A HOUSE. A HOUSE...? WHAT KIND OF HOUSE? I never even thought about a house... THE TWILIGHT MANSION IS GOING UP FOR AUCTION SOON. THAT MANSION IS A PRECIOUS PLACE TO ME... PLEASE, JUST MAKE SURE THAT AT LEAST IT DOESN'T FALL INTO THAT WOMAN'S HANDS. The Twilight Mansion. I briefly heard about it in my past life. The mansion where the former Queen Violeta lived with Prince Cassion when she was alive. To Cassion, it must be a place that not only holds his childhood memories but also symbolizes the time he spent with his mother. I CAN'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! It's Cassion's first request! I UNDERSTAND. IF IT'S A MANSION LIKE THAT, I COULD PROVIDE YOU WITH TEN OF THEM. SO... WILL YOU TRUST ME NOW? ...ALRIGHT, I'LL TRUST YOU FOR ONCE. GREAT. GOOD CHOICE. SPEAKING OF WHICH, COULD I BORROW YOUR BED FOR A MOMENT? WHAT? WOAH~ THE BED IS HARD. WH-WHAT?! I DIDN'T GET A WINK OF SLEEP WHILE TENDING TO YOUR HIGHNESS ALL NIGHT. I'LL JUST SLEEP FOR A LITTLE BIT BEFORE HEADING BACK. THOUGH I'M REALLY JUST STAYING TO MONITOR HIS CONDITION JUST IN CASE. WHAT KIND OF... DUCAL LADY ARE YOU...?! PLEASE WAKE ME UP IN 30 MINUTES. FALLING INTO A DEEP SLEEP FOR REAL. SERIOUSLY, SHE DOES WHATEVER SHE WANTS... ABOUT THE TWILIGHT MANSION. BY RIGHTS, THAT MANSION SHOULD BE INHERITED BY PRINCE CASSION WHEN HE COMES OF AGE... HOW DID IT END UP ON THE VERGE OF BEING AUCTIONED OFF? IT'S BECAUSE THE FORMER QUEEN VIOLETA INCURRED A MASSIVE DEBT FROM THE PHOENIX BANK. Former Queen Violeta was deposed on the grounds that she could not bear children. That was less than a year after King Carman had Deyson with Julia. But... EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS DEPOSED, HIS MAJESTY PROVIDED SPECIAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR HER LIVING EXPENSES. SO WHY DID SHE INCUR SUCH DEBT? SHE WAS SOMEONE FAMOUS FOR HER FRUGALITY. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY? THAT MANSION IS A PRECIOUS PLACE TO ME... PLEASE, JUST MAKE SURE THAT AT LEAST IT DOESN'T FALL INTO THAT WOMAN'S HANDS. IF CASSION MEANT 'THAT WOMAN'... HE MUST BE TALKING ABOUT QUEEN JULIA. SHE HATES CASSION, SO WHY IS SHE TRYING TO BUY THE TWILIGHT MANSION WHERE HE LIVED AS A CHILD? MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY DID FORMER QUEEN VIOLETA NEED SUCH A LARGE SUM OF MONEY? AUNT, I HAVE A SECOND REQUEST FOR YOU. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE PHOENIX BANK, WHERE THE FORMER QUEEN SUPPOSEDLY INCURRED HER DEBT. IT MIGHT BE DEEPLY CONNECTED TO QUEEN JULIA. ALRIGHT. BUT... WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO ONCE YOU FIND OUT? I NEED TO SECURE IT BEFORE IT GOES OFF TO AUCTION. SINCE MY FUTURE HUSBAND WANTS IT, WOULDN'T AN IRENBERG NATURALLY BUY HIM AT LEAST ONE HOUSE? WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE MESSAGES SENT TO THE IRENBERG COLLATERAL BRANCHES? AS YOU ORDERED, YOUR MAJESTY, WE APPLIED ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON THE COLLATERAL BRANCHES. IT'S UNPRECEDENTED FOR THE DUKE'S PROXY POSITION TO REMAIN VACANT FOR THIS LONG. THE SUBORDINATES MUST BE UNCOMFORTABLE SINCE THEIR DUTIES HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED AS WELL. AT THE VERY LEAST, TO PREVENT THE EXTENSION OF SUCCESSION RIGHTS, A FAMILY MEETING WILL BE CONVENED SOON. IT'S NOT A COMPLETE BLOCKADE, BUT THIS SHOULD GIVE COUNT COLCOS ENOUGH JUSTIFICATION TO STEP IN. WHAT A HALF-WIT. I THOUGHT HIS STUPIDITY MADE HIM EASY TO USE, BUT TO THINK IT WOULD BECOME A LIABILITY. HAVE YOU INVESTIGATED DIANA? YES, THROUGH A SECRET PASSAGE LEADING FROM THE GARDEN TO THE PALACE, SHE HAS BEEN VISITING PRINCE CASSION FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS. AND IN THE MIDST OF ALL THIS, IRENBERG STILL HASN'T FOUND A NEW GUARDIAN... DON'T TELL ME... ANDERSON. WHAT IF THAT CHILD, DIANA, WANTS TO BECOME THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY? THROUGH MARRIAGE WITH ROYALTY? WOULD A GIRL HER AGE BE THAT KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE KINGDOM'S LAWS? THERE'S A POSSIBILITY SOMEONE IS PULLING THE STRINGS BEHIND HER, SO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON HER. YES, THEN I WILL ORDER THE SECRET PASSAGE TO THE THIRD PRINCE'S PALACE TO BE BLOCKED. NO, IT'S BETTER TO LEAVE IT AS IS. PARDON? BUT WHY... ONLY IF SHE HOLDS ONTO HOPE WILL IT BE TRULY SOUL-CRUSHING WHEN IT GETS SHATTERED LATER, WOULDN'T YOU SAY? KEEP MEETING WITH THE LITTLE IRENBERG AND LET YOUR HOPES GROW, PRINCE. BECAUSE RIGHT AT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT, I'LL SHATTER THAT HOPE INTO PIECES! ## See also - [WebtoonLib — I bought the villains with money #9](/series/i-bought-the-villains-with-money-8vputcbm/chapter-9-ud74xp) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/i-bought-the-villains-with-money-8vputcbm ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
