"Fufufufufu. This day has finally come."

The first prince of the Scottyard Kingdom was in a good mood.

About a month and a half have pa.s.sed they"ve tried to cut off Briton"s funds.

—-Today, Briton runs out of funds.

No, this expression is not accurate.

Today they had to pay a large sum.

The Briton Kingdom couldn"t prepare that much money.

"They lasted longer than I though. However, that ends now."

Although Scottyard"s first scheme ended in failure, they"ve used many tricks since then.

The first one was a brilliant scheme, and like a body blow, it pushed Briton into a corner.

According to the information providers in Briton, they"re already in a hopeless situation.

Even if they tried their best, today"s repayment amount won"t come out.

"Let me give you your last prayers."

Vincent was supposed to be present at today"s negotiation.

His escort is Edgar, and bringing along a few officials, they headed for the Briton Kingdom"s royal castle, Wolic.

When Vincent arrived at the royal castle, he was lead to the drawing room.

Immediately the treasury secretary Eldred came over, and got onto his knees.

"If it isn"t Vincent-denka. Today—-"

"Your flattery is unnecessary."

Vincent interrupts the other party"s words.

Regarding this matter, Eldred wouldn"t serve any purpose.

It"s not like Vincent to be amiable to someone like that.

"Ab,about today"s matter……"

"Don"t tell me everything. If His Majesty gets pushed into corner, I won"t do anything bad to you."

"Yufilia-denka hasn"t returned to the castle in the past few days. She hasn"t been going to school either."

"What……?"

Vincent glares at Eldred.

She threw away her family, country, and everything else and ran away.

He hadn"t thought of the possibility of her taking that course of action.

Anyways, she was a girl with a high ability to take action.

That aspect of her was something that Vincent liked.

"According to His Majesty, there was something she had to do, so I don"t need to worry about her."

"Hmph."

He was still uneasy, but there was no point in pressing Eldred.

Vincent though that, and coldly drove Eldred out of the room.

"If it isn"t Prince Vincent. I apologize for making you wait."

Richard Ⅱ apologizes, and enters the room.

"I don"t have any problem with waiting personally, but unfortunately the repayment date can"t wait."

Vincent sticks out his chest.

"Let me check with you first, is it possible for you to pay the 50 million pounds that are due today?"

Vincent was convinced that it was impossible.

He was told that this amount of money had been piled up for this day since long ago.

Instead of returning a fixed amount every time, they were building up the reimburs.e.m.e.nt amount steadily.

If it was managed badly, it wouldn"t be possible.

It was arranged like that.

This was something that had been prepared years ago.

Although, whether it succeeded or not was dependant on the Briton Kingdom.

Because the Briton Kingdom was stubborn, they had to turn to this.

The fault is on the side of Briton.

Vincent thought that.

"A,about that……"

Richard Ⅱ was sweating, as if it were something difficult to say.

"Explain it clearly! I"m going to hear it eventually anyways!"

Vincent raises his voice.

This situation is the result of recent years, no, of the activities of the last half century.

It can"t be overturned with just one month.

By now, the results are clear.

In the first place, what was the point of holding out until today?

Even though the amount of foreign currency that Briton holds is low.

Vincent waited for the obvious answer.

As if he were groaning, Richard Ⅱ answered.

"I apologize. We don"t have the funds to repay your country. I can"t return today"s money."

"Houhouhouhou!"

Vincent stopped holding back on the expression he"d been suppressing until then, and let out a victorious expression.

"That"s really troubling for me~. You have to properly stick to the contract!"

Vincent kicks his chair and stands.

"Well then, what does the Briton Kingdom intend to do about it? You aren"t telling me that I should give up and accept that, are you?"

Vincent walks close to Richard Ⅱ.

"Of course not, my country isn"t an oni. I"ve been thinking that our relationship has been getting a little cold lately, but don"t you think we can restore it?"

He brings his face closer to Richard Ⅱ.

"Yes! However, I believe that we need proof that our relationship has been restored. By the way, where"s Yufilia-denka?"

"Since it might be her last few days like this, she said she wanted to be free for her last few days, and hasn"t come back."

"It"s not like I can"t understand your thoughts as a parent, but it"s not like she"ll just not come back like this, is it?"

When Vincent asked that, the one who answered was not Richard.

*Ban!* The door opened, and Yufilia entered the drawing room.

"There"s no way I"d do that, Vincent."

With provocative eyes, Yufilia looked at Vincent.

However, Vincent who was convinced of his victory, didn"t care.

"It"s been a while, Yufilia. I"m glad to see you."

"I didn"t particularly want to see you."

"We"ll be seeing each other often from now on. Ah, there was also the case of that choker, wasn"t there?"

On Yufilia"s neck was a choker that let her become the collateral of the Bank of Briton.

"Really, you made me do some extra work. However, Scottyard can do anything. Of course, I might just change the contract but keep the choker."

In pure power, Vincent can"t match Yufilia.

He needs to have insurance.

"Well then, Your Majesty, will you acknowledge it here? Our families will make peace. As proof of that, Yufilia and I will become engaged."

Just as Vincent was immersed in the echo of his words, he started to talk again.

Then, he took confirmation.

"You"re fine with this, right?"

Richard Ⅱ looked at Yufilia.

Yufilia nodded solemnly.

Seeing that, Vincent broke out into a full faced smile.

He judged that Yufilia had accepted it.

—-However, that was wrong.

Yufilia nodding was proof that everything went well.

"But I refuse!"

Richard Ⅱ shouted powerfully.
