I Would Like To Live A Different Life If I Could Go Back In Time - Episode 74

“Hehehe”

“Boss, you’re interesting.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

The man referred to as the boss is talking with men who seem to be his subordinates while gazing at gold and jewels.

“What are you going to do now? Are you going to break Vera out right away?”

“Well, wait. Go inform the Amelia Heisen family. They probably resent Vera too.”

“That’s right. Shall we first send a letter and then visit?”

“Zero, don’t mess up, okay?”

“Of course.”

It seems that a man called Zero sent a letter to the Heisen family.

If you become a high-ranking noble, every family has one or two shady aspects when managing their territory. There are many invitations from such underground organizations. The families involved in Vera’s escape this time are the Venegict family and the Viscount Brenst family.

If the other house is involved, the reward will be bigger accordingly.

The Venegict family wishes for their daughter’s happiness, while the Viscount Brenst family wishes for her misfortune.

It looks like it’s going to be interesting.

As expected, we received a message from the Heisen family. They probably had their own reasons as well.

“Hehehe”

“Boss, it’s coming out of your mouth.”

“Isn’t this interesting? Well, don’t mess it up here, okay?”

“Of course. Seven, dress up like a servant and follow me.”

“I understand.”

Zero and Seven, dressed as a merchant and a servant, headed towards the Heisen household.

“Lord Count Heisen, thank you for inviting me today. My name is Shade, and the guard behind me is Yodo.”

Zero and Seven were summoned to the Earl’s office. In the room were only the Earl, the butler, and the guard.

Seven looked around to make sure no one noticed, then stood behind Zero.

How did you find our proposal?

“It was Vera Venegict’s escape and lynching, wasn’t it? Are you really going to do it?”

“We prioritize trust above all else. When we succeed, we will receive appropriate compensation.”

“Hmm. What if you fail? Will it affect my household?”

“If we fail, it will be due to our own mishandling, so we will not accept any payment, and since we won’t be using your name, there will be no impact.”

“Hmm. What should I do?”

It seems the count is hesitating just one step away. Zero smiles and speaks slowly.

“Count, how is your wife’s health? It must have been painful for you to see your beloved daughter turn into a monster and die.”

It’s well-known that the lady was very fond of Miss Amelia. If Vera, who was turned into a magical beast, suffers even a little, wouldn’t it make things easier for the lady as well?

We are not insisting, either. We just suggested it before losing the last chance to punish Vera.

“How much is the reward?”

How about a success fee of 2000 gil?

Not cheap, but not prohibitively expensive either. That’s the point the boss is making.

The count is probably thinking about the future impact.

“Understood. Help Vera escape.”

“Thank you very much. We will proceed accordingly. If the jailbreak is successful, we will contact you later.”

“Got it. Oh, right. Is it okay to invite the Rain family too?”

“Of course, that’s fine. However, if this becomes public, we won’t be able to take action, so I would appreciate it if you could keep it confidential.”

“Of course I understand. You don’t need to worry about that.”

“If anything comes up, please contact me at this business card.”

“Yes.”

Thus, after Zero and Seven exchanged bows, they left the count’s residence.

“Will the Rain family becoming too?”

Seven asked casually.

“She probably won’t come. Colleen is alive and in the convent. I have my thoughts on the matter, but I don’t want to get involved any further.”

“Well, that’s true.”

The count nodded at that amount. What a fool. I need to report this to the boss right away.

The two of them locked eyes with each other and then disappeared into the crowd.
