PAID Chapter 145
Diana made full use of the healing mage I brought along. Andrei, whose spirit was completely broken, spilled everything he knew, confirming that the reason for the attack on the caravan was indeed because Diana had rejected his date proposal. Naturally, Diana was furious upon learning this.
In her fury, Diana followed through on her threat. She mobilized all her connections and had the Kingdom of Heaven subjected to a tax audit. Given that the place operated on the borderline between legality and illegality, it was utterly devastated. I also heard that the woman who had taken over the management of the Kingdom of Heaven when Andrei was taken away was arrested as the new representative, but it was just the typical downfall of someone who missed their chance at power.
As for the ownership of the Kingdom of Heaven, it quietly transferred to my younger sister, Trisha Creighton, as if nothing had happened.
“It seems she’s found her true calling.”
“Well, I guess it’s true that you should live long enough to see everything.”
“…Little sister, don’t you think it’s a bit inappropriate to say that to your older sister, who’s eight years older than you?”
Surprisingly, Trisha showed an unexpected talent. She stabilized the chaos and reopened the gambling den in just two days. Diana was stunned, unable to close her mouth at the thought that Trisha, whom she had always considered a freeloader, had such a talent. From what Trisha said, she only finished the work so quickly because she wanted to use the gambling den herself, but only she knows the truth.
“Thank you… thank you so much, my lord…”
Io was officially hired as Diana’s bodyguard. The oldest of her siblings, who came along, was also hired as an accounting assistant, and Diana was quite pleased, saying they were surprisingly competent.
It was indeed the same girl who had poked her head out of the secret door, screamed when she saw me, and had seemed so frightened.
“I will never forget this kindness… I’ll repay it with my life if I have to. I swear I will.”
Not only were her siblings able to live in a building owned by the Creighton family, but all their debts were forgiven as well, which brought Io to tears as she bowed deeply before us.
The reason for forgiving the debts was simple. After all, it wasn’t a debt they owed to us, nor was it a legitimate one. There was no loss in canceling it.
Despite my attempts to dissuade her, Io spent nearly an entire day bowing in front of my room before she finally left. The next day, her siblings came in droves to thank me one by one.
The girl who started working as Diana’s accounting assistant was particularly insistent, saying she would bow all day like her sister if necessary, so I had to work hard to stop her.
“Um, brother… what’s your ideal type of woman?”
“Well, it’s definitely not you, kid.”
