173 – Scene 173# Celebrity
*
The operation was perfect.
This meeting was all intentional by Patrick’s meticulous plan.
He ordered someone in advance to get his hands on the Isakhel family’s carriage. And when the carriage broke down, he showed up like a savior and decided to give Bella a ride to school.
And, as expected, Bella consistently showed a cold attitude.
Perhaps it was the burning of the teddy bears that were given as gifts at the Chilsung Festival in anger.
The thought of being rejected by her once made me feel like my blood was gushing backwards. In a way, it will show up.
Bella stared out the window with great vigilance, but without even looking in this direction.
The more I looked at her, the more beautiful she was.
Sleek silver hair, eyes that seem to fall in, and a voluptuous body.
In addition, although she fell, she is the daughter of a duke and a descendant of Alonso, a hero everyone in this country knows.
Looking at this far, is there any other woman in this country who can compare with her?
After Patrick saw Bella, all the other women seemed like decorations.
I felt like I would do anything to get my hands on her.
Oh yeah.
Above all, the priority would be to free her from ‘that man’ who holds Bella’s weakness.
“… You say you’ll pay me back?”
“Yes.”
Bella made a subtle expression at Patrick’s suggestion.
“What a difficult time Princess has been through… . I know.”
Patrick was cautious.
I’m afraid his proposal will hurt Bella’s proud pride.
“It’s a sudden story, so it’s just embarrassing. But now you don’t have to worry about that notorious family. If the princess marries me, I will make sure that the Ruelberta family cannot interfere with the Isaachel family again.”
“… … .”
“In addition, the Wolfbert family and the Isakhel family each have an honorable history. If our two families unite, we will surely be blessed by everyone. Let this Patrick make you happy.”
“happiness… .”
Bella was silently brooding over Patrick’s words.
His expression didn’t look particularly hurt. However, he was sitting calmly with an expression that did not take it favorably.
What kind of answer will Bella give?
After a heavy silence, her mouth opened.
“… There was one guy like that before.”
“Yes?”
“How much does he ask me? I asked how much you could buy me.”
The words that came out of her mouth were neither positive nor negative.
“I was so stumped that I asked him the other way around. How much do you plan to pay me for? So do you know how much he said?”
I didn’t say it exactly, but I could easily guess whose story it was.
That’s why Patrick couldn’t help but be very nervous about Bella’s question.
yes. Actually, this is a kind of test.
I don’t know, but I can buy her heart if I offer more than the amount the man suggested.
The worry didn’t last long. Patrick answered without hesitation.
“50 billion kaels? Oh no. It must be at least 100 billion kaels.”
“… okay. Then the debt I’m holding. How much does it look like?”
“Are you talking about debt?”
Bella suddenly changes the question.
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Did you not answer something well?
No, this would be an extension of the test.
Patrick pretended to know, pretending to keep a close eye on the debt.
“Well. It looks luxurious even when you look at it. Isn’t the fan that the princess has at least 2 million kaels worth a fortune?”
“Nope. It’s 500 kaels.”
“… Yes?”
pod.
Bella folded the fan gracefully.
“The man said he would buy me for 500 kaels, equal to the price of this debt.”
“no. what is that… .”
It was an absolutely unbelievable story.
Tristan only sang 500 kaels without going crazy?
To buy the country’s best woman?
“her… . What a miser. If it were me, I would have been willing to pay about 100 billion won.”
“Yes. I was angry at first. Am I worth only that? I felt very bad because I felt like I was treated cheaply.”
However, contrary to the words that she was angry, she had a somewhat happy face.
As if looking back on happy memories, Bella said while fiddling with the fan in her hand.
“But he already knew. Whether you ask for 500 Kaels or 100 billion Kaels, you cannot buy me.”
“ah… .”
Patrick then realized.
that you made a mistake.
Bella said in a cold voice.
“By the way, Patrick, what you’re saying is that you’re going to buy me after all.”
“I don’t mean that, just debt… .”
“There is no reason for you to pay me back. This is, after all, the work of the Isakhel family. It’s never going to happen, but even if you become my partner, that money will be fully repaid by the duchy.”
“How the hell are you going to pay back 5 billion kaels? Without the help of other families… .”
“I have to pay it back. no matter what you do But I won’t have anything to repay by marrying you.”
Bella stood up on the spot.
As if there was nothing more to say.
Patrick was in a hurry.
“Princess. Even if you pay all the money back, the cunning man won’t let you go. I will use any means to bind you.”
Tristan, the infamous Count of Ruelberta, is such a man.
A man who does things beyond common sense without hesitation in order to get what he wants.
“… At this rate, the Izaqhel family will only be swayed by the count forever.”
Having seen the staunch villain at the Seven Stars Association, Patrick said in a voice mixed with concern.
But Bella firmly shook her head.
“I rather doubt your love for thinking you could repay the money and wield me.”
“… … .”
“Oh, please get off here. We’ll just walk away.”
The carriage stopped.
Patrick yelled at Bella, who was about to get off.
“that man!”
“… ?”
“That man won’t be able to make you happy. I want to give you 100 billion kaels… . no! We can give you more happiness than that. No matter how rich that man is, he can only give you cheap happiness for 500 kaels.”
“It’s so pitiful that it’s come to this point.”
what?
Looking up, Bella was looking at Patrick with pity.
“Did you say happiness worth 100 billion Kaels? Then you are the one who can’t make me happy. Why?”
She pointed to the fan in her hand.
“This fan is my favorite fan. Although it is only 500 kaels. I don’t know how you saw me… . For me, happiness is like this.”
“… … .”
Patrick held his breath.
Those words drove like a nail into his chest.
The two of them got off the carriage without regret.
“Let’s go. Blanche. Let’s go for a walk or something.”
“Yes. miss.”
“Then thank you for driving me this far. Patrick.”
“Princess… .”
Patrick had no choice but to see Bella off as if he had just eaten a shot.
Bella said with a beautiful smile as usual to the man who was so overcome with defeat that he couldn’t say anything.
“I wish you your own happiness.”

“Unbelievable… !”
Helga cried out in horror.
On the other hand, I was calmly sitting at the desk in the chairman’s office and doing my work.
“I can’t believe it! To think that such an unscrupulous thing is happening at this school… !”
“Calm down. No fuss.”
“How come kids these days are so skinny?”
What Helga was holding was a letter that smelled like flowers.
On the desk, besides the stationery, there were piles of letters with similar designs.
As Helga read it, she said with a sense of exasperation.
“I have liked the chairman for a long time. I couldn’t stand my heart anymore, so I wrote this letter. The chairman looks like a man now… . Such lascivious… !”
The identity of those letters are all love letters.
After losing weight, the way people view me at school has changed a lot.
In particular, due to the nature of the university, students of the prime age are gathered.
There were students who sent affectionate letters to the office like this, perhaps attracted by Tristan’s good looks.
At first, it was just cute, but as the number of letters increased, it became unbearable. It is only then that it is work to separate and filter out the love letters and important letters sent to me one by one.
And Helga, who is in charge of the job, is annoying.
“Every time I see the president, my heart goes crazy. It must be so painful. If I stop my heart from now on, it won’t get any weirder, right?”
Helga read the next letter with a chilling joke.
“You are the chairman, and I am a student. Ahh… . We are an impossible love, but I want Tristan more than anyone else. your … . oh well sorry. This is a letter from a male student.”
It was a love that really couldn’t come true.
However, Helga’s eyes are busy as well as her hands.
“Hello. What were you writing down earlier?”
“Oh, is this? I’m putting together a list of students who sent me letters.”
“The list… Organize?”
“Yes. Since I have sent such an ardent heart to the Count, it would be natural for me to answer. hehehe. So I plan to write a separate reply. Oh, and don’t worry, we’ll do a handwriting comparison for students sent anonymously. I’ll chase you even to the end of hell… .”
“Confiscated.”
“Ah!”
I took Helga’s notebook.
“that! If it wasn’t for me as an escort knight, who would repay them… !”
“What you are trying to do is retaliation, not reciprocation.”
I’d like to say that all of you are being fooled by Tristan’s appearance, but… . It is pointless.
I shook my head and instructed Helga.
“Put these letters out of sight for a while.”
“ah? already? I haven’t even finished sorting the letters yet.”
“Do it later. It’s eight o’clock soon.”
“ah? Ahh!”
As if it had just occurred to her, Helga began putting away the letters.
“It is already that time. I’ll clean it up right away.”
8 to 9 o’clock is a very important time for me.
It’s time to exercise.
Helga quickly put a sign on the door for guests.
Because this was the time no one went to the office.
In the meantime, I warmed up lightly.
Exercising for a while in the office of the chairman, driven by a busy schedule, eventually got used to it and became full-fledged.
Yesterday I did the lower body, so today is the day to do the upper body.
It can’t be a very important day.
When the top was removed, the hidden muscles were exposed.
“I feel very good… Churup… . you’ve lost Count.”
“Well.”
Helga smiled and studied my body carefully. I don’t know what I’m thinking, but my saliva flows.
As a result of pushing my body to the limit through ‘patience’, I have muscles that are comparable to those of an athlete, if not as much as a bodybuilder.
If you drive a little more momentum here, you might be able to become a muscle pig count instead of a pig count.
“Whoa.”
The time when I thought about doing some light push-ups.
smart.
A really unpleasant knocking noise interrupted my movement.
“under… . What kind of idiot dares to… .”
Helga growled.
No one will visit the office at this time. My doubts for a while.
Quick-.
The door opened violently with the sound of a doorknob breaking.
And there… .
“Long time no see. Count.”
A man with a large body and a dignified figure resembling a wolf.
The moment I saw his face, I frowned.
“No, I guess I should say the chairman now.”
Patrick was standing there with a displeased face.
