The Sleepless Night of the Maid

so angry because I’m not getting stamps from the Duke.
I’ll just make deals with other nobles.”

Rex touched his clothes and pretended to get up from his seat.

“Wait!”

The Duke’s cool voice caught him.
Rex smiled internally and turned around with a feigned puzzled expression on his face.

The Duke got up from his seat, glaring at him, and took the seal from the desk drawer.

“I don’t understand why you insist on a seal.”

The Duke looked at Rex with an irritated expression and stamped the bill.

Rex looked at him and laughed inwardly.
He knew that a snake-like Duke tested him.
Rex never makes a deal without a seal on the document.
There was no way the duke who knew that didn’t bring a seal.

Rex took the Duke’s bill and put it in his pocket.
This ended his dealings with the Duke, so he smiled and spoke.

“Thank you, Duke.
Then I’ll go now.”

It was time for him to stand up from his seat.

“I’d like you to lend me 30 gold pieces.”

The Duke’s voice sounded like he wanted a loan.

“30 gold?”

“I’ll pay you back soon.”

The Duke raised his tea cup to his mouth and spoke calmly.
Although it must have been said in a hurry, he never looked at Rex or made a regretful expression.
The Duke must be trusting in Rex’s position and property.
Enormous land and forests were inherited from ancestors, with rent and tenancy from them.
And the money that went into the Gallahan Chamber, which distributed the funds at the top of Gallahan, and the salary that came out of serving as the chairman of the Senate.

Above all, the Duke had infinite pride in the fact that he was the head of the Kensington family.
It was a pride that the prestigious name was Shin Yong, who wouldn’t dare lend money.

“Of course, you will, but will you be okay?”

“What do you mean?”
