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?
Katsuko-nee said.
Yes, please do, Katsuko-kun Yes. Then, let’s go
Katsuko-nee smiles and leads Mizushima Karen-san out of the room.
The people remaining in the room are;
Jii-chan, and his two bodyguards.
Kurama sisters.
Minaho-neesan and me.
Leave the room, you two
Jii-chan told Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san.
Kyouko-kun already left. There’s no danger in this room Certainly, excuse us
Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san left the room.
As soon as the door closed.
So, what do you think?
Jii-chan asks me suddenly.
I might’ve done something futile
About what?
About nobility. I want to protect nobility, but I just decreased the number by one. Furthermore, most families are going the path of their own destruction
Jii-chan sighs.
You saw Mizushima’s naive attitude, didn’t you? Thinking that I will never crush down nobility, so he’s under the impression that no matter how much of a scandal he makes, I will come to rescue his house Yeah, he was underestimating Jii-chan.
He doesn’t understand how much of a trouble it caused when he sent over a spy from Kansai Yakuza to the main house of Kouzuki clan.
Also, he’s not even thinking of what the other families of the young ladies who came to this party would do.
Therefore, I had no choice but to demote her as a vassal instead of keeping her under Kouzuki house’s custody
Jii-chan speaks bitterly.
From the conversation earlier, Mizushima Karen is still decent. That kid can still fix herself. However, if she returns to her father and grandfather, then she will grow spoiled and become a troublesome adult No, that girl.
I think that Karen-san is a decent girl.
She’s courteous, has a strong sense of responsibility, and is smart.
Just because the parents were a disaster, the children don’t necessarily become the same.
She needs to separate from Mizushima house and serve Misuzu until she’s 20, trained with the education on nobility. Unless I do that, Mizushima house’s asset will remain, but they’ll no longer have the pride of nobility. That only means that their house perished Jii-chan.
Oh, I see.
Jii-chan’s pretending to talk to me, but he’s talking to the Kurama sisters.
Kurama house is the same. He ignored our advice and fell for the funding of the foreigners, demolishing the traditional Kurama Kaku, and tried to construct a high-rise hotel, and yet, asking for help because the foreigners deceived him? It’s ridiculous i’m very sorry!
Arisu-san, the younger of the sisters, bowed her head.
I’m not talking to you. I’m having a talk with him
Jii-chan scolds Arisu-san.
i’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
Misato-san, the elder apologizes while crying.
Mizushima house sent in some lawless people into my house, and so they lost their business group. Their daughter, who will succeed in the house, is now a servant of Kouzuki house. Other families will not show consent unless I give that much punishment. Also, it’s natural to provide such a strict attitude, so this absurdity never happens again Jii-chan said. Then, how do we punish Kurama house? Kurama house manages the Kurama Kaku group because the only one with worth is Kurama Kaku. The building and garden has history and tradition has its worth, and that is why the group’s other hotel and traditional restaurants were able to hold their high dignity Worth and dignity. And now that precious Kurama Kaku is lost, what remains in the group are ordinary hotels and restaurants you can find anywhere. The high-rise hotel building can complete itself in the former site of Kurama Kaku, but still, it doesn’t have the quality that the old Kurama Kaku had They can construct a high-grade hotel, but the old one is something they can never take back. To be nobility means you are to inherit property from your ancestors and to protect it for the next generation. In Kurama house’s case, that Kurama Kaku is the one they inherit and must defend. Losing that means Kurama house no longer belongs to nobility. They are no longer a clan I must help Jii-chan said. The Kurama sisters trembled. Truly unfortunate, to think that one of the traditional nobility would die out like that
Jii-chan will revive Mizushima house in Karen-san’s generation, and.
The business group will be split and sold off, but, Karen-san is promised that she will inherit the mansion and properties of Mizushima house from the ancestral era.
However, for Kurama house’s case.
Without anything to inherit, they’re declared as dead.
kouzuki-sama! that’s too much! aah! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! aa!
The siblings lost control.
You’re too noisy, I’m not talking to you!
Jii-chan’s behavior is freezing.
uu
The little sister trembled in fear.
However, the elder speaks while crying.
i’m sorry. we do know that we can no longer save kurama house, but.
Kurama Misato speaks while shedding tears.
We may be paying for our mistakes, but, i cannot let the people working in Kurama Kaku group be left out in the cold Onee-sama? it may be rude to ask but, please, could you save the Kurama Kaku group? If things go on, then they will reach bankruptcy. If that happens, perhaps, the workers will not receive any retirement money Hearing Kurama Misato-san say that, Jii-chan. Shouldn’t it be your father who asks that?
That’s right.
It shouldn’t be the high-school student daughter but the head of Kurama house.
The man managing the Kurama Kaku group is the father.
however, uhm, Kouzuki-sama is no longer answering father’s calls Obviously. Why would I go out of my way to save a man who I know will only ask for a loan of money? therefore, Onee-sama and I are acting on behalf of father
