Chapter 32
A while ago.
A noble tried to exchange a check issued by Windsor Bank for cash at Ritten Bank.
However, the bank employee at Ritten said.
“Due to recent events, we can no longer guarantee the credit of the Windsor Family.”
And rejected the Windsor Bank check.
‘Wow. That’s impressive.’
However, Dana was amazed.
The fact that Ritten Bank, the Empire’s top bank, was acting so petty meant.
‘Windsor Bank is that threatening to them.’
It had been 8 years since Viego Windsor started the banking business.
In just 8 years, he had built it up to a level that threatened Ritten Bank with its 200-year history.
“The staff have been protesting for several days now but haven’t achieved much. So in ten days, I’m planning to meet directly with Marquis Ritten to negotiate.”
“So you’re telling me to solve it before then?”
“If you can.”
“Alright. I’ll solve it within a week.”
Did he think she was bluffing?
A faint displeasure flickered in Viego’s eyes.
However, Dana shook her head once and changed her words.
“No, if it takes too long, that would be bad. Four days should be enough.”
“Four days?”
“Yes. At most four days, and if it goes quickly, about two or three days.”
“Your confidence is remarkable.”
At his light sarcasm, Dana smiled brightly.
“I want to lighten your burden even a little, brother.”
I must make a good impression, I must make a good impression, I must make a good impression.
“I may not be able to become a real sister, but I can become a useful person, can’t I?”
That was the moment.
Viego straightened his body that had been leaning against the carriage sofa backrest. Then he took something out from inside his jacket.
‘A gun?’
He aimed it at her.
Her heart sank in an instant.
What’s this suddenly? Is he going to shoot me?
“Ah.”
Perhaps because she was so flustered.
Dana finally realized that the direction of the silver gun muzzle was opposite. Viego was holding out the gun’s handle.
‘Why is he suddenly giving me a gun?’
Dana hesitantly took the gun.
Viego leaned back against the backrest again and frowned with displeasure.
“Danae Windsor. Do you only have one secretary accompanying you?”
“Pardon?”
“You must have gradually realized that there are many who covet your wealth.”
“…”
“If you get kidnapped, shoot.”
I see. He gave it to me for self-defense.
Dana felt strange as she fiddled with the gun.
Viego was thinking about her safety. And he even gave her a pistol for self-defense…
“Whether you shoot the kidnapper, or shoot your own head.”
Rustle. The sound of papers being turned.
“The trouble should end with you alone. Don’t you think?”
Dana slowly raised her head.
His glass-like eyes were already following the black letters again.
And Dana…
‘Ah, right.’
It was disgusting.
Her mood was extremely, tremendously disgusting.
As if she had been thrown face-first into a filthy swamp.
‘He’d rather I die.’
“Rather, make sure you die.”
Come to think of it, you said that to me.
That was your true feelings.
I almost forgot for just a moment, just a moment.
“Yes, I’ll keep that in mind.”
Gripping the gun tightly, Dana smiled.
I must make a good impression.
Until I become the deputy head.
Until this person needs me.
Until he considers me a lifelong companion and hands over that sacred relic to me.
Just until then.
“Don’t worry, brother.”
After all, it will be an eternal farewell after that.
* * *
“This is absurd!”
Viscount Manus protested.
“The negotiation with Marquis Ritten is in ten days! If something goes wrong, you could ruin everything!”
Viscount Manus, a retainer of the Windsor Family.
He was also an executive at Windsor Bank.
The recent friction with Ritten Bank was his biggest headache. It was a problem that needed to be resolved as quickly as possible!
But suddenly Danae Windsor was jumping in!
“Please reconsider, Lady!”
Dana narrowed her eyes.
‘He couldn’t say a word to Viego earlier.’
Yes yes, I’ll do that. Haha, please take care. He only said things like that, but as soon as Viego left, he’s throwing a tantrum.
“That’s difficult. I promised brother I’d solve this within three days.”
“What? Three days?”
“Yes. Three days.”
“Oh, Ramun. Good heavens.”
Viscount Manus grabbed his neck.
First Alice, now Danae was acting up too.
It was just yesterday that the Moonlight Flower business completely collapsed because of Alice!
“We don’t have time for this, Viscount Manus. If you think you can’t do it, go to Viego Windsor and tell him you can’t.”
“….”
Viscount Manus swallowed silently.
Can’t do it. That was exactly what Viego Windsor hated to hear most.
His superior didn’t even treat incompetent people as human beings.
In the end, Viscount Manus had no choice but to swallow his tears and say:
“What should we do first?”
“For now.”
Dana smiled gently.
“Let’s go have a conversation.”
* * *
Ritten Bank Capital Main Branch.
“That’s not possible.”
Once again, they had asked to exchange Windsor Bank’s check for cash.
“Ritten Bank does not accept checks issued by Windsor Bank.”
What came back was the Branch Manager’s firm refusal.
“Why not? Windsor Bank’s credit is highly rated.”
“Haha, it seems the lady doesn’t understand well. Credit isn’t something that can be evaluated so simply.”
“Then what is it evaluated by?”
“Time. It’s all about time.”
The Branch Manager spread both arms wide.
“Ritten Bank boasts a long history of over 200 years. During that lengthy time, we have safely protected our customers’ money. But how many years has Windsor Bank been around?”
“I believe it’s been 8 years.”
“That’s right. A mere 8 years.”
He held up eight fingers for emphasis.
“What could we possibly trust about a bank that’s only been established for 8 years? You may not know this, Lady, but Windsor’s reputation among businessmen isn’t very good.”
That wasn’t actually true.
Rather, their creditworthiness was steadily increasing.
This was especially true after they had perfectly handled the compensation for the recent Moonlight Flower incident.
They were being evaluated as having the capability to flexibly handle any unexpected situations that might arise.
However.
‘What would a young lady know?’
The Branch Manager chuckled and decided to just placate her and send her away.
“Now then, please go back.”
“But.”
Dana let her shoulders droop as if troubled.
“Please don’t say that and think about it once more.”
“I’m sorry, Lady. We don’t accept Windsor’s checks. This is company policy.”
“Still….”
Viscount Manus, who had been watching from the side, held back a sigh.
What on earth was she doing right now?
But still, just repeating these same words over and over!
‘Anyone could do that!’
His five-year-old nephew was better at whining than this.
‘I was an idiot for expecting anything.’
Actually, he hadn’t been without some hope.
Hadn’t Danae Windsor recently covered the entire compensation amount for the Moonlight Flower incident? He had thought she was a lady who understood the greater good.
Most importantly, Viego Windsor, that head of the family, had personally assigned her this task!
But her foolish behavior didn’t end there.
“Um, then let me make a different request. Could you exchange this money for gold coins?”
Dana opened her handbag and pulled out all the banknotes she had.
Both the Branch Manager and Viscount Manus were startled by that thick bundle of money.
“It’s 50 million francs.”
“50 million francs?”
“Yes.”
The Branch Manager looked surprised.
Wait, why is she carrying around so many money bundles in a handbag?
“Of course. Exchanging for gold coins is one of the bank’s main services.”
“Is that so?”
“Gold coins are the bank’s strength, aren’t they? Ritten Bank is the Empire’s greatest bank, holding the most gold coins.”
Viscount Manus, who had been listening to the conversation, felt his insides boiling with anger.
‘How stupid. What is she doing right now!’
Why was she listening to his bragging?
A lady of the Windsor Family had come to complain about the check issue, even!
‘But why is she exchanging banknotes for gold coins at Ritten Bank!’
