Oh, basically giving them only the necessary honorary position and social organization.
Enough to keep them alive.
It’s as if Mizushima house is dead
The old man speaks in a dispirited tone.
Losing Mizushima holdings is just. Then, fall into ruin along with Mizushima holdings
Jii-chan said.
Sending in a subordinate of a crime syndicate in my residence will rouse anger to all nobility. I can proclaim that I will destroy Mizushima house and they will all support me
All of the nobility that has business will stop making transactions with Mizushima holdings at once.
And this decision isn’t just mine, Kaan and Kanou agreed to it
It’s not just Kouzuki house but all of the big three?
that’s.all of the nobility forsaking Mizushima house It’s the result of what you’ve done. You should’ve been prepared for this kakka. Oh, as for your granddaughter, she will stay in my house. She will marry the man I pick for her and inherit Mizushima house. This girl is cunning and bold. And she’s also intelligent. At least, better than you or your son. She will still belong to Mizushima house, be grateful please wait. Karen is my precious granddaughter If she’s precious, why would you entrust her to a criminal?
A harsh rebuke.
that’s.uhm I’m ending the call. It’s futile to talk to someone like you. You’re insincere nor earnest please wait! kakka!
Jii-chan hangs up the call without responding.
Then, he makes another call.
It’s me. If Mizushima calls, don’t transfer it to me. You deal with it. Also, move forward with the plan on dividing Mizushima holdings. It’s okay, he cried immediately, so you know what to do. Also, make adjustments, so Kaan and other houses benefit. They have to pay each family for the inconvenience they caused. The families will not be satisfied unless you do that Oh, It’s the cost of putting the precious young ladies in danger.
Talking it out with the other families to split the assets Mizushima house has before they could attack.
Umu. Please do. As for Takahama products’ daughter, she’s just an idiot. Takahama already gave his apology and is going to pay enough compensation for those who came to the party. If only Mizushima was able to see around him, this wouldn’t have happened. Oh well, it can’t be helped
As for Takahama-san, who defied Kouzuki house and collaborated with Tendou Otome.
Her family already surrendered to Jii-chan and other nobilities.
Therefore, they’re forgiven without any grave consequences.
On the other hand, Mizushima house did something underhanded, so.
It’s a full-scale breaking.
Thank you
Jii-chan ended the call with his, secretary or subordinate, I don’t know which.
Then.
That’s the situation. Mizushima Karen-kun
He shows an intense look as he speaks to Karen-san.
The fortunes of the Mizushima house from the ancestral times will be split and sold off. And also, we will be taking custody of you. Maybe it’s not just you personally, but also the long time property and foundation.
For now, the next generation is reserved.
Mizushima holdings group company is no more. You need to take that in yes
Karen-san looked down in bitter emotions.
And I cannot come back to Mizushima house anymore, can I? Indeed, I feel sorry to say, but I cannot send you home. You’re no hostage, but, I have to separate you from Mizushima and his son
Jii-chan said.
Earlier, you asked me to punish you if I punish your family, but that hasn’t changed, has it?
Karen-san.
Yes. As said earlier, I am ready
Karen-san stresses out that she’s not ordered by her father or grandfather.
Then, as for your punishment Please tell me anything
Karen-san bows elegantly
Umu. You will become a vassal of Kouzuki house
Jii-chan?
You are no longer a daughter of Mizushima house. You’re now a vassal of Kouzuki house
Karen-san looked at Jii-chan.
Let’s see. When you reach the age of 20, you will become the next head of the Mizushima house. But for the remaining 8 years, you will serve Misuzu as the servant of Kouzuki house Misuzu-sama? I have no jobs for 12-year-old girls
Jii-chan said sullenly.
I’m sorry
Karen-san apologized.
To tell you the truth, your father and grandfather don’t understand the weight of their actions. They’re both raised as the stereotypical innocent boys. They don’t know what they’re doing, and they are too optimistic about the results of their actions I have the same sentiment
The old man seem to think that all is forgiven once they step back from their chairs.
Far from that, they think that the Kouzuki group and other nobility would help rebuild Mizushima holdings.
nobility needs unity. We could have the same type of industry, but we try to share ownership between those with similarly long history families
Jii-chan said.
That is why what Mizushima house did is an act of treachery among the nobility. They’re destroying the mutual trust between houses
Sending in someone involved in crime to a party where the young ladies of nobility gather.
Furthermore, his attitude shows that he thinks that they will forgive him, no matter what happens.
It’s punishing a crime to make an example. In short, if Mizushima house isn’t punished heavily, then someone else will do the same
Jii-chan sighs.
It’s not just crime syndicates, but all the evil people want nobility all the time. Other families need to be cautious as well Therefore, I’m deprived of my status as nobility and demoted as Misuzu-sama’s vassal?
Karen-san replies.
Indeed. If I don’t go that far, other families will not see it as a lesson. Also, if in 8 years, once you’re an adult, I promise to restore Mizushima house, but, that depends on your actions If I cannot fulfill loyalty to Misuzu-sama, Mizushima house will no longer recover? Correct
Karen-san thinks for a moment.
Does the promise include the preservation of the ancestral assets handed to Mizushima house?
She gives up on the group company, but not in the old mansion and the work of art.
I guarantee you that. I’m an old man, but I’ll talk to Kaan’s son and all the other heads of nobility. Mizushima house’s assets will not liquidate. However, you will take it over. I will no longer make transactions with your father or grandfather
Jii-chan is cornering the 12-year-old girl.
You will use your own power and show the other nobility your loyalty to Misuzu. And if they accept your conduct, then, you will revive Mizushima house and become the head of it
Loyalty to Misuzu. That means;
Becoming Misuzu’s pet.
This 12-year-old girl probably couldn’t guess that.
I understand, then I serve Kouzuki house
Karen-san replied.
I think I have no other way of letting other nobility forgive Mizushima house but that
Nobility.
And above all, Kouzuki-sama’s going that far for Mizushima house and me.
The 12-year-old beautiful young lady said.
Then, I swear loyalty by serving Misuzu-sama!
Chapter 872. High Life Before the Fall
Then, you are to tell everyone in the courtyard the results later
Jii-chan told Mizushima Karen-san.
Karen-san will tell the young ladies in the party today that she has become Kouzuki houses’, or rather, Misuzu’s servant.
That means taking away her status as the young lady of nobility, of Mizushima house.
Certainly
Karen-san bows her head.
Umu, then, you can stay for the room you were in before
Everyone’s still enjoying the party.
It will be for the best if Mizushima Karen-san reports that at the end of the party.
She can do it together with Agnes’ debut.
Yes, excuse me I will send you off. It’s on Agnes-chan’s room, right?
