I Bought the Villains With Money
Chapter 11.1
‘He was a genius, but he was unlucky. After developing medicine and living splendidly for two years,….’
Rupert was kicked out of the royal palace after he was found to admire corpses.
Nothing has been revealed precisely about the actions behind it, but I was told that the end was not good.
“It’s a shame; he was a great doctor. If he had listened carefully to what I said, he could have lived.”
When I heard that he was dead, what Dyson said came to my mind.
Looking back, Rupert’s death was also dubious.
“It’s more dangerous than I thought.”
Speaking of reminiscing about Rupert, I asked Zoe.
“Where is he?”
“In the underground black market. He is hiding and distributing dangerous things there. Why are you looking for someone like that?”
Zoe asked as if she didn’t like me looking for someone dangerous like Rupert. The very person who didn’t care to help those that didn’t benefit her.
She said that because she didn’t know what Rupert was capable of doing.
Rupert was a genius doctor. Although he was active only for a short period, medical sciences developed dramatically, thanks to his two-year groundwork experience.
On top of that, he was involved with smuggling…
It was not shocking to know that various rare substances were put in the painkillers he made.
“Can you bring him here, auntie?”
“As long as I have the money. I also have to buy information from kids in the slums.”
I took out the jewelry box that I had prepared. Zoe’s eyes shook for a moment.
The only thing I could give to her, who couldn’t use cash freely, was a necklace that I received when I was a child, and the rest were accessories such as rings; however, the amount was considerably a lot.
‘I didn’t even take out half yet.’
And I also had a lot in my mother’s safe.
“Shh, Diana, keep this secret to yourself. I have a treasure in here.”
“What is that?”
“Well, what could it be? What do you think should be here?”
“Dolls?”
I remembered my childhood memories. Before returning to the past, I never thought of opening my mother’s safe.
I expected my mother’s memories to remain, and I thought it was the proper way to remembrance the deceased.
But after returning, I became curious about what could be inside.
Not long ago, I opened the safe. The safe was filled with vast amounts of accessories and hard-to-get magic tools.
But there was something else that caught my eye.
[First outfit that Diana wore as soon as she was born]
[Diana’s first drawing]
Unlike other randomly stuffed items in the highest compartment, they were well-organized items like absolute treasures.
My mother’s treasures were all related to me.
How much I cried the day I found it. The feeling of sadness washed over me when I remembered about her again.
I didn’t want to dispose of my mother’s things carelessly, but shouldn’t I wear and use them as much as I could when I was in trouble?
For now, I could solve the money issue to pay Zoe with what I had today.
Zoe opened the jewelry box I put out and took out only the necklace and ring.
She put only half of the jewelry in her pocket after shining it under the light with her hand.
“This should be enough.”
“You can take and put them all in your pocket.”
“I only work as much as I take. I only take as much as the task I have completed. There is a saying we could get indigestion. You should learn that.”
At some moment, Cho showed a virtue of an aunt.
It was different from Zoe, who asked me what I could give to her on the first day we met.
When I looked at her strangely, Zoe pinched the tip of my nose and shook it.
“Ow, auntie!”
Zoe, looking at me struggling with joy, giggled and put her leg on the window frame. I rubbed my nose and asked.
“Why don’t you have a cup of tea first?”
“You said you were in a hurry. I’ll bring him to you tonight.”
Zoe disappeared from the window just like that.
“This is the 4th floor. Will she be okay?”
Because she would be okay, that’s why she jumped, right?
For a long time, I looked at where Zoe had disappeared and closed the window. The wind was chilly.
“Let’s take a break.”
It was time to stretch and sit comfortably on the sofa.
“Lady.”
Matthew, the head butler, came with heavy documents in his hands.
“Come on in, Matthew.”
I touched the unfastened ribbon and nodded. Matthew hesitated and came into the room, his eyes looking at me with worry.
“Matthew?”
Standing with the documents, I called the head butler without any order as if to urge him. I hoped he could tell me what he needed and leave me alone quickly.
Well-nourished children were bound to be tired if they used their heads all day to think about the future. Rupert was coming by the end of the day, so I wanted to rest until then.
“These are the documents regarding the revision of Territorial Land Tax Act.”
I couldn’t take a break. As soon as I heard Matthew, I gave up resting.
What a complicated tax problem.
There were two types of taxes paid by the people of the kingdom. One was the tax paid to the King, and the other was the tax paid to the lord. The Territorial Land Tax Act was a regulation about the tax paid by the land occupant to the landowner.
This law could be modified once every four years by gathering the head of the family and the elders.
