CH 93

Name:The Tamed Heiress Author:
Marvin, who was watching him, quietly stood up from the chair. As he left the place, he heard Rian sleep talking.

“But… I should have left her alive… I shouldn’t have killed her.”

… Did you kill someone?

Marvin, who was trying to leave, looked at Rian for a moment and left the Spielplatz with a stiff expression.

When Marvin came out and bit the cigarette in his mouth, a man approached in the dark and lit it with a match. Marvin looked at him surprised, and he smiled.

“How did you know that I came today? Daniel. Did you follow me?”

Marvin looked around as if to see, and looked at Daniel with suspicious eyes. However, Daniel only shrugged with a calm look.

“Hearing you say that, I can tell that you’ve found out something.”

“Not yet. Not really. I’ll ask, is Leon really marrying that lady?”

Daniel responded by closing his mouth. Marvin understood enough, and the cigarette he was biting fell to the floor with his mouth half open.

“It’s real. What the heck? It’s real. Why? No, no. Oh, if I had met her sooner.”

Marvin scratched his head and lamented. He was resentful and upset that he lost a woman he fell in love with for the first time in his life to Leon.

He didn’t know the status or identity of the woman he saw only once, but he was truly disappointed. Marvin was a person who was independent of his status. Although it was limited to women.

“Don’t say that in front of His Highness. No matter how close you are to him…”

“Ah, whatever. Then, that person’s reaction was true. But I have to tease him, don’t stop me.”

As he finally noticed the cigarette that fell to the ground, Marvin smashed it with his foot and smacked his lips regretfully.

“Is that all you heard today?”

“I talked to a guy I was curious about, but he’s very inferior and he’s twisted somewhere. He’s going to be a big problem later. Tell Leon not to get close to him.”

“Who is that? Why did you think so?”

“Count Rian Felice. You know, right?”

Daniel nodded quickly. Somehow his expression looked a little excited.

“He’s the son-in-law of the Duke of Hamilton. His Grace asked me to find out about him, but I had a lot of original work. Haha, it’s a little delayed. Can you share the story with me, Chief of the Intelligence Service?”

Daniel deliberately called him by his official title and stressed it. No one knew, except a very few, that he was an inspector or even a Chief. Although the existence of the title itself was known, who it was, however, was a complete secret.

Marvin shook his head and expressed disapproval of his transparency.

“Hey, I can’t believe a noble aide asked for information from a person performing official duties under the order of His Grace… Tsk tsk. Honestly, you completely forgot, right?”

Daniel offered a deal without batting an eyelid at his disparaging remarks. They both knew that Leon Tertius was not just a nobleman.

“If you tell me, I will tell you one thing you want to know.”

“Hey, will Leon stay still after knowing that?”

“If you don’t tell me, you will never know about it.”

“Hmm, is anything possible?”

“Yes, but just one.”

Marvin’s eyes sparkled at the tempting offer and eventually, he opened his mouth. It was a story to tell Leon anyway, and thanks to the brief encounter, he was able to get Daniel’s information.

“Honestly, I think it’s half-drunk nonsense. There’s no information except that he really likes money.”

Marvin squeezed his head. He had heard that he was smart, but he was much simpler than he imagined. However, his greed seemed to be greater than anything else.

“Something’s fishy. I think he received money from someone, but I don’t know who it is. I don’t know if he’s dead… And he knows about her, too. Is it okay if the rumor is already out?”

“Of course, it’s pretty well known that there’s a woman in the Grand Duchy… No one will know her personal information.”

Even he doesn’t know.

“Hmm, what is that called? He had a different status, but he also asked how she could become a Grand Duchess and wondered if Leon also had money as his reason. But he said it wouldn’t be useful. That woman… No… I guess Lady has a lot of money.”

Upon hearing that, Daniel hardened his face and began to think seriously.

“What’s wrong, Daniel?”

“Ah… So.”

Even Daniel only found out yesterday that Dana came as a stand-in for Dana Deniz, the representative of the top of Deniz Merchants. Outside, it was not even known that the woman with Leon was Dana Deniz.

No matter how much Marvin decided to trade information, it was too early to share this matter.

By the way, how does Count Rian Felice know that she’s related to the Deniz merchants? Does he even know that she’s a stand-in?

Daniel decided to investigate the relationship between Count Felice and the top of Deniz as soon as he returned. Officially, the Deniz’ heiress and Grand Duke Tertius were scheduled to become a couple, so Leon had to be aware of the Deniz Merchants’ intentions in order to avoid damage.

Of course, Daniel had been steadily investigating and thought he knew enough, but he sensed that there was more to the story than what he already knew.

Marvin glanced at Daniel, who was in agony but got no answer. Then he called him as if he couldn’t stand it.

“Hey.”

“What?”

Daniel was a little surprised and looked at Marvin. And the next moment, he was nervous.

What if he asks me to tell him about this?

Daniel immediately regretted saying, “anything”.

Whether or not he knew Daniel’s fears, Marvin opened his mouth after a while, distracting him.

“Lady is…”

And as soon as he heard the beginning, Daniel tried to make an excuse. But Marvin’s next line followed immediately.

“What kind of guy does she like? Does she like high-ranking aristocrats like Leon? Or does she look at his appearance? Do you happen to know her favorite food?”

Daniel suspected that he had heard wrong, and he looked at him with a slightly annoyed expression.
