Chapter 144 Alberta’s Plot (2)
"Not at all... Oh, right. After the duel last Friday, because you did not approve the credit loan for Ulysses (Brady), he signed the contract prepared by Elect (Alfred).
How should I put it... The contents of the contract are quite strict. Perhaps we can inform Viscount Ulysses of this matter and ask them to make a trip for this contract."
Sabrina thought of something and began to explain her thoughts.
"Then you will be the arbitrator between the two parties. After the matter is settled, if you want to keep Elect to talk alone for a while, it won't attract too much attention."
“This method is good!”
Alberta clapped her hands in agreement.
But she came to her senses again and became curious about how strict the content of Alfred's contract was.
Although two million Nia gold coins was not a small amount for the Ulysses family, who had always been poor.
But Alberta didn't think that the other party would come to the capital immediately because of this matter.
"…Well, the monthly interest rate that Elect proposed in the contract is 15%, and it also comes with a clause about compounding interest.
Because Ulysses (Brady) did not provide any relevant collateral and repayment instructions, Elect (Alfred) added a minimum annual repayment amount to the contract, as well as penalties if it was not met.
Sabrina showed an indescribable expression and continued speaking.
"If the current tax rate of Viscount Ulysses' family is followed, the debt may double or triple next year. However, all the contents of the contract are in compliance with the laws of the Empire and the regulations currently issued by the Imperial Bank..."
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that kid to be so mean."
Alberta couldn't help laughing and agreed to Sabrina's plan.
"I understand. Let's do it according to what you said, Lina. This way, we can also see that bastard Ulysses get humiliated."
"Alas... Although I can understand your feelings, you really do hold a grudge."
"I'm really sorry. Since we elves have a longer lifespan, our memories are of course better. I will never forget that bastard mocked me for being an old woman at the Empire State Banquet."
Alberta answered half jokingly and half seriously.
Brady's father, Stanley V. Ulysses, was, to put it mildly, a scumbag.
He was only given the title of hero because of factional struggles in the imperial palace.
When Stanley was serving in the Imperial Knights, he was expelled from the Imperial Army by the current Duke of Christiana, Violet and Liliana's mother, Milinda, because he had molested the current Valkyrie Violet.
Stanley was later invited by the Duke of Leopold, who wanted to use Stanley's fame, to become a sinecure under him.
When he was an idle official in the palace, he also wanted to get close to the beautiful Alberta.
However, when Stanley was about to make some rash moves, he was blasted away by Alberta's magic and suffered serious injuries with fractures all over his body.
Stanley, who was furious, mocked Alberta in public about his age at a state banquet held by the Empire shortly afterwards, and also humiliated the high elves to whom Alberta belonged.
Alberta has always held a grudge against this incident.
But soon after that, Stanley caused serious diplomatic problems because of this incident, and he also angered his financial sponsor, the Duke of Leopold, and was soon driven back to his hometown on the border.
Alberta never got the chance to take revenge.
This time, she was very happy to learn that Alfred had played a trick on Viscount Ulysses' family.
"You are still the same old, childish man."
Unlike Alberta who was in a good mood, Sabrina just looked helpless.
"What's the matter with being childish or not? I'm actually very... it doesn't seem quite right to say that. Anyway, I'm happy, so don't complain, Lina!"
Alberta puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
"Oh, I see. Then I will prepare according to this plan. Regarding the venue, how seriously do you plan to test Elect?"
"How about you beat Michelle half to death?"
"Your metaphor... Never mind. I get it."
Sabrina said, and left the room.
After she left, Alberta's gaze drifted out the window again.
"Well, what will happen next? You little brat, will you be our hope, or will you..."
Alberta muttered to herself as she looked at Alfred who was still carrying a water bottle on the campus.
"What about the disaster that will bring destruction?"
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
It was Friday, a few days after Valentine's Day.
"So, Al, your relationship with the girls hasn't been reconciled yet... Even as a bystander, I feel a little embarrassed."
Leonard, who was sitting next to Alfred, came over and complained quietly.
The two are now in the audience of the arena.
Next to Alfred, two seats away, were the members of the girls' group.
For some reason, Sophia has now joined this group of beautiful girls and is sitting next to Louise.
"Even if you say so... something like that happened on Tuesday. I'm sure everyone is embarrassed, right?"
Alfred stole a glance at the girls and replied awkwardly.
When he looked over, he happened to meet Liliana's eyes.
Liliana snorted with a red face, then turned her head away.
She twisted her neck very hard and very quickly, so fast that Alfred was a little worried that Liliana might feel pain in her neck.
"Al, you're surprisingly slow. You're so quick to act."
Leonard complained with some envy.
"Don't be such a jerk. Weren't you also affected by that damn potion? I remember you were crying for no apparent reason."
Alfred turned the conversation to Leonard.
"Wh, that, that was just an accident! I'm not interested in you, Al?! I'm serious, my sexual orientation is normal heterosexual."
Leonard seemed to have misunderstood something and began to explain himself in panic.
"I know that. If it weren't for this, I would have broken up with you long ago."
Alfred couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded, and looked at Leonard with somewhat cold eyes.
After all, having a gay friend who has that kind of interest around you is quite dangerous even if the other party is 0.
