CH 132

He didn’t know if Rian loved Dana Deniz, but it wouldn’t have been so if he killed her in person.

And if he captured her, it’ll be easy to kill her. But he said this time he would tie her up.

“Well, anyway, you still have to recover, so rest more.”

“No, call a meeting right away. If you appeal that I work for the Merchant Group even when you are injured, the executives will think of me more.”

“…I will.”

Harbert gave a rough answer and left the place. Then whispered something to a servant standing outside.

The servant nodded several times and ran somewhere silently.

I have to make sure to change the line. We need to show them this much.

The servant was going to Tertius Castle.

After taking a bath with the help of the maid, Dana lay down on a cozy bed again.

Even though she was out of the castle for a very short time, she felt that these things were quite regrettable at the time.

Really, I’ve become lazy.

She was the daughter of a wealthy merchant, and although she had maids and servants in her own way, she was not treated with this much respect.

She had been tamed by this luxury. She closed her eyes, thinking again that it would be quite difficult to get out of it.

But she opened her eyes quickly.

“Oh, right. I didn’t see inside the envelope.”

Dana looked around, trying to raise her stiff body but she couldn’t find it.

While she was taking a bath, nothing remained beside the neatly arranged bed. Of course, there was no envelope or paper that Dana brought.

“Where… Where did it go? Where is it?”

She thought of the things after coming here step by step. Leon discovered the envelope and the whole time she was with him, neither Leon nor herself had any interest in it.

“Ah, why did I forget that?”

After delaying confirmation in the joy of reunion and intense affairs, she forgot about its existence and fell asleep.

Eventually, Dana called Lily back to check if it was with the laundry and then decided to find Leon, the most likely candidate.

She walked quite fast in the hallway. Thinking that Leon had it made her very nervous for some reason. It was even more so because the content was unknown.

While she was walking busily, the servants she encountered in the hallway greeted her politely.

“Where is Leon?”

In the past, they used to pause and gloss over specific locations, but now they had accurate information.

“His Grace is in the office on the east side of the palace, Your Grace.”

Dana reached the place where Leon was and took a deep breath before opening the door.

“Should I go in and get it pretending not to know? Or should I ask if he saw it? My father left it… Should I ask why he read it first?’

Dana couldn’t organize her complicated thoughts and opened the door to the office.

Then at the same time, the eyes of the three men turned to Dana.

“Oh, so…”

The first eye contact with Dana was Duke Owen Tertius, Leon’s father. He looked at Dana and smiled brightly and said.

“Did you rest well?”

“Yes, I… I did.”

Owen was sitting in the middle of the sofa, and Daniel and Leon were sitting on the sofa on both sides to discuss something.

Dana came in and seemed to have stopped for a while. She stepped back again, believing she had interrupted something.

“I’ll be back.”

“No, I’m glad you came.”

Leon jumped up and approached her. And he put his robe on Dana’s shoulder. Only then did Dana know that she came here in a pretty rough state.

Dana came in her pajamas with lace.

As she approached the sofa as Leon led her, she noticed two documents on the table.

Dana could quickly notice that one of the documents was what she was looking for.

With Dana’s gaze fixed on them, she sat next to Leon. Leon was above, but Owen sat at the top of the throne here in Tertius Castle as a courtesy to the former lord.

「Including the initial capital and profits from operating the top, all ownership of it belongs to the ‘Tertius Family’.

If the main manager is not a member of the ‘Deniz Family’, the management rights of the ‘Deniz Group’ and the initial capital will be returned to the ‘Tertius Family’.」

Dana read the phrases of the documents written in this way again and again with her eyes. The three men waited quietly for her to read slowly.

Only Leon quietly informed the source.

“That’s all the documents you brought.”

Dana tilted her head and read the same form of documents next to her. It was a little longer than the first one.

「From the initial capital to the profits earned from operating the top, all ownership of it belongs to the Tertius family.

The Tertius family guarantees management rights and is not involved at all if the manager is a member of the Deniz family or the bloodline of Elisa Romoc.

P.S. “Deniz” is a proper title attached to the top managers at the Merchant Group and is not a real surname. Their descendants secretly inherit the surname of Romoc」

“Elisa Romoc?”

Dana blinked her big eyes slowly. She looked up after being absent-minded for a while about what seemed to be understandable.
