After we exchanged a contract, he left.

why were you so kind to him?

Ryle said with some dissatisfaction.

I was a bit surprised that it wasnt Tanya asking. But a glance in her direction told me that she was thinking the same thing.

Kind, huh?

I couldnt help but laugh out loud.

Seeing my reaction, both of them looked surprised.

Immediately prepare to reach out to Priest Ralph.

Yes, milady, Tanya responded.

I also told Van. Right now, the Church of Daryl is in the midst of revolution. But not everyone agrees with the movement. Thats to be expected.

It wasnt just the higher level church officials who had benefited from all that was going on, but also the nobles who were closely connected with the church.

Those people, the nobles and the officials alikewouldnt want to watch this revolution from the sidelines without doing anything.

They would undoubtedly engage in some kind of obstruction.

Vans bloodline put him in quite a bit of danger.

Thats why I wanted to pull him to my sidebefore the other side got him first.

Right now his regret and dissatisfaction with the situation has been transformed into motivation with some help from me. If we give this information to Priest Ralph, hell be able to use it to the best of his abilities. What I told Van wasnt a lie. At the moment, its a good plan to set him up in the capital to study medicine and service the people. This will undoubtedly be what Priest Ralph is planning for, and will potentially open up a path into the main church. Whats more, well be able to cash in on the favor he owes us now.

It was a step taken with full faith in Priest Ralphs abilities.

On the other hand, even if he forgets his current dissatisfaction, thats no loss to us. Ill still be able to access his movements, and eliminate all potential contact with people on the other side. If we succeed, perhaps well be able to cash in on a favor in the future on Priest Ralphs side.

I see. Then Ill have my subordinates keep an eye on him.

Thats exactly what I was going to ask you to dono matter how the situation ends up, it will prove beneficial to me. Isnt that right? Then, how is this kindness?

When he came to me with his plea, I realized that no matter how things developed they would be beneficial to me.

Thats why I couldnt stop laughing.

Well, it was a good situationafter all, I was the rich villianness. And Van had delivered himself to me.
