Chapter 9's

...***...

'Is that Prince Icard's new wife?'

'Yes, but he has many strange features.'

Duke Icard, Evan, and Laria are seen by everyone in the race.

It was because they did not even think that the Duke of Icard, who was now referred to as a stiff and vile person, would appear in such a place.

While most people thought Duke Icard was only competent, some people who knew better were all suspicious of him.

It seems like they are trying to shake the Empire behind you…

I don't know why, but it's vaguely possible to guess that the board is bigger than expected.

All kinds of information guilds analyzed that the Imperial Family was the only one who could hold him back after a few years.

If Evan's only son were to marry into the Royal Family, no one would be able to stop the Duke of Icard now.

"That's weird."

The head of the Vestian Dark Information Guild, Sven Vestian tilted his head.

"Why did he bring her in?"

Laria was not at all a helpful daughter-in-law.

The countess and his wife died suddenly in a train accident and had no assets left to their children.

But Duke Icard immediately took him as his son-in-law just because Laria had nowhere to go.

She accepted him as her daughter-in-law and simply handed over their marriage registration to the Imperial Family without saying anything.

Even the debt left behind by the Count, Duke Icard paid it all back. Of course, that amount of debt meant nothing to the Duke of Icard.

“It doesn't make sense. A man like the Duke of Icard would not be moved by human reasoning.”

Meanwhile, most people who want to read some political pages view Elani as Evan's soul mate.

Elani is old enough for Evan and subsequently becomes the one who succeeds in ascending the throne. It took him some time to become Emperor, but he would eventually become the ruler of the Empire.

However, she breaks everyone's expectations by forcing Evan and Laria to get married.

"There must be a reason."

It is true that his chess lost track, but it is inefficient to use his only son's wedding card in this way.

Even his son, Evan, becomes a married man without knowing the truth.

“What's more, the three of us will go side by side to the horse racing event.”

Sven clicked his tongue.

No one knew that Duke Icard was raising his son as if he was ignoring him.

In fact, it was very strange to see them acting like a harmonious family.

“There's a reason.”

His eyes turned to the sakura haired girl.

A child who often walks with a funny posture and smiles like a sparrow but still attracts your attention — a fourteen-year-old with no background, no characteristics.

“I have to wait and see.”

Sven's gray hair was slightly fluttering in the wind.

“We need to know Laria Rose Icard to read Duke.” card

Sven is a dark intelligence agent who paints the big picture. This is a frustrating and crazy hurdle, regardless of whether or not the Icard is useful.

Then, whether he sold the information or not, he was very curious as to why Duke brought Laria as Evan's partner.

He secretly hid his presence and hid near Duke Icard.

...***...

The special chair that Ordi showed me was truly amazing. This was a high place where the horses ran at a glance.

Evan was pondering the dividend table brought in by an official at the race venue.

While he is serious about the number of cases, I have only one concern.

"Excuse me…"

I spoke to Evan while sighing.

"Can you lend me the money?"

"What?"

“I want to bet for fun, but I have no money.”

With my pride completely bent, I said that while looking at him pleading.

I think Duke Icard will give me an allowance if I come to the race. But Duke didn't say anything, so I had to hold on to the comfortable Evan.

"I'll pay you back."

I feel so guilty.

It's sad not to have money.

“I will never forget this moment and will never waste money even if I make a lot of money in the future.”

“You don't have any cash?”

As I muttered in a low voice, Duke Icard entered with his hands crossed.

“I think the butler hasn't made a budget because you're not an adult.”

"Yes." Yeah."

I blinked and looked at the Duke sitting next to me, and said as sad as possible.

"Of course, no inconvenience, but I still have no cash ..."

"Come here."

The Duke took the coin from his pocket and handed it to me. Gold coins, I was surprised but received quickly.

"That's the price of the picture."

The image? I think he doesn't like it.

"Thank you."

Oh God. I'm very happy.

Evan said 'seriously' when he saw that my mouth was wide open.

“I have to talk to the butler about the budget. Even if you are a minor, shouldn't you have cash to yourself, as long as you have the last name of Icard?”

However, the Duke did not reply. Then he spoke after a long pause.

"Why did you give me so much money for my painting?"

"…Why?"

He continued.

"Image if you need money."

Does this mean ... You pay for a painting if I draw it from now on?

'It takes less than ten minutes to doodle. Do you have gold coins? This is not an urgent matter.'

I'm not going to make a budget anyway. I seriously.

That doesn't matter. After this time, I won't need any cash!

I gave gold coins to the horse race attendant. Although there was only one, it was the largest monetary unit here, and it was a considerable amount.

"I'm gonna risk all this."

I checked the betting paper that the official had issued with a pen without hesitation. When they saw my betting paper, Evan, the official, and the Duke of Icard's eyes widened.

“Laria? Are you really going to risk it all? ”

Evan asked as he tilted his head to the side.

"Yes, I'm risking everything."

"You spend other people's money too carelessly."

The Duke grinned and muttered.

"Well, that's a kid's joke."

Gold coins for jokes ...

Immediately after, shots rang out, and the racehorse started running.

...***...

In today's show, the Male Leader, Seymour Leticia, is here in the original novel.

He was an ordinary person who wanted to become a noble, and his eyes were set on buying titles.

'He is a monster born of typical capitalism.'

And the man I bet.

What is unusual about the original book, The Great Deal of the Empire is that the movements of the Male Leader are explained in considerable detail.

So regardless of romance, it's fun to see Seymour's process of increasing his wealth.

He made a lot of money by selling land and making investments, as well as tracking down ancient magic items on the continent, of which there were only three.

After all, the important thing was that Seymour made his first big hit here.

Now, he's my role model.

This section, which first became an opportunity for him to lay the foundation of having a degree, takes place at this racetrack.

'Sorry, Seymour. Let's split up...I'm in a hurry too.'

I bet on horses with big dividends.

At the race venue today, a horse that nobody expected would win first place.

Knowing the progress, I did not even think about it and checked the betting paper quickly.

[ Placement 1 – Black Horse ]

The black horse appeared without anyone's attention and took first place. It was something that no one expected and had huge dividends.

The Black Horse record is not very good. He even had a bit of experience running like a racehorse.

"But we're going to win first place today."

Seymour happened to see a black hose before the race and bet confidently. No matter how interested Evan was in the horse, he couldn't beat the original male lead.

Everyone looked at me, thinking I was throwing away my money, but I was as cold as a cucumber.

And then when the gun exploded and the race was over…

The racetrack is a mess. A horse that no one expected, the dark horse, won first place.

The dividend was 34,012 times higher.
