Chapter 75: At the Count’s Study
It was crystal clear that Gulliver doesn’t care about Prudencia at all. All he wanted from this was money.
Once he becomes Duke and Odette dies, Gulliver would still be a duke even if he returns to his fief.
He could just pretend to lament what happened to Prudencia and lay low for a few years while secretly enjoying his life.
And in a few years, he could pretend to rise anew and build his former marquessate as his new dukedom and make it powerful with the money he got from Prudencia.
’Truly despicable! He has to be stopped before his plans come to fruition.’
"Shall we speak with Count Rowell too once the collectors leave? Wouldn’t he be a valuable witness?" Arabella suggested since she wanted to hear the Count’s thoughts.
Alwin and Raymond were unsure whether they should allow her to be exposed to more of the people but she already spoke with Marie so they would be scolded by Ferdinand anyway.
Adding one more person to the people she met wouldn’t make a difference. They would still be scolded and likely punished.
’I’ll just do my best to convince Ferdinand not to give them a heavy punishment later.’
Thus, once the collectors left and headed back to the capital, Alwin teleported them to the Count’s residence.
"Who’s there?!" Count Rowell and his butler both drew their swords.
