Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 248
Chapter 248
Count Valois finally achieved everything.
He was able to perfectly utilize even the stains that had tainted his life to paint the picture he wanted.
‘I completely gained the Emperor’s trust.’
He executed the traitor and in return formed an in-law relationship with the imperial family.
Gary Valois will marry the Empire’s only Princess.
Although the Princess’ position is ambiguous because she is the daughter of a concubine, her imperial blood does not go anywhere.
‘It’s enough to strengthen your position.’
The concubine is even receiving the Emperor’s favor. Adding the maternal family’s influence and Valois’ support, they will be able to have a more plausible force than they have now.
That was enough.
The eldest son of Valois has become an imperial knight, so long as he stands at the right hand of the crown prince who will one day become Emperor……
The Count was very satisfied with his skills.
‘What on earth have I been worrying about?’
The Count took a swig of his drink and laughed out loud.
His new young wife was smiling like a picture as she filled his glass.
It was perfect.
His life was a masterpiece painted by a craftsman. Now the whole world will recognize its value…….
“Oh, by the way, I heard from the butler. I heard you’ve been managing the ledgers for a few months?”
At that moment, the Countess paused her hand that was pouring the drink.
But she soon spoke in a soft voice.
“I can’t stay like a non paying lodger of the family forever.”
“What a useless thing. What do you know about managing the property….”
“I was born as a merchant’s daughter, and although I may be ignorant of other things, I was thoroughly educated about money from a young age.”
So the butler saw my skills and trusted me. She lowered her gaze and added in a friendly voice.
“Did you learn anything properly in a family that lost all its money and was in debt?”
The Count was openly sarcastic. Even though the Countess was insulted to her face, she just smiled.
“Tsk, tsk….”
The Count, speechless at her flower-like smile, clicked his tongue and emptied his glass.
How long has it been like that?
The Count, who drank as much alcohol as he was given, became so intoxicated that he lay down on his bed and fell asleep.

And the moment he woke up from a deep sleep.
“What, what is it?”
The Count woke up in prison.
The tightly packed iron bars were stiflingly blocking his view.
“Huh? Huuuh?”
A heavy hangover felt like hitting his head with a hammer.
Is that why? So, that’s probably it, right?
That’s the only reason he is seeing this nonsense.
The Count tried to move his body.
However, his hands were tied behind his back and no matter how hard he tried to twist them, they would not break free.
‘Why me?’
There had never been a scene like this in his perfectly designed life. He had never even imagined it.
“Hey, heey! Is anyone there?!”
The Count raised his voice. There must have been some mistake
‘I’ve never done anything to deserve this!’
As he was raising his voice in frustration. The sound of shoe heels clicking came closer and closer.
And soon, the basement door burst open.
“It’s been a while, Father.”
“……you!”
Sabina sat cross-legged in the chair opposite the prison cell where the Count was imprisoned.
And without saying a word, she stared at the other person.
With just those eyes, the Count grasped the entire situation.
No, he was under the illusion that he had it figured out.
‘I knew long ago that you were an ungrateful bitch who didn’t even know how to repay the grace for raising you…….’
The Count grinded his teeth. Because he had no idea she would do something this crazy.
“You’re out of your mind.”
He muttered grimly and eventually shouted.
“It looks like you came here to take revenge on me, but do you think you can get away with this?”
The Count’s backing was the Emperor.
“This is still unknown, so you don’t seem to know, but His Majesty is looking after Valois.”
“Is that so?”
Sabina responded calmly without any sign of surprise.
He believed only the Emperor’s words that he would give up in front of Valentine, and his guts shot high up to the sky.
But has the Emperor become so helpless that he leaves the person who has touched his own?
“Even if Valentine’s power is sky-high, it is ultimately still beneath the sky. The Imperial family and nobles are of different levels!”
The proof is that the Grand Duke follows the Emperor’s orders without hesitation.
You stupid thing!
Count Valois wanted to shout that, but he did not know what Sabina would do when, so he tried to pretend to act calm.
And he said to appease her.
“It’s not too late, so I won’t hurt you if you stop this now.”
“…….”
“Before His Majesty finds out, huh?”
Then Sabina, who had been listening quietly, sneered and laughed and answered.
“His Majesty already knows.”
