The Final Villain Has Fallen to the Lust Demon - Chapter 1.5

Because she had to accurately grasp her own ability stats to deal with emergency situations without panic.

That’s why she had ended up curling the corners of her mouth without realizing it when Aaron lost his reason and rushed at her.

‘I hope other people don’t misunderstand me as a psychopath.’

Contrary to her worries, Heron’s employees were not horrified. Instead, they were struggling to keep from letting out exclamations of admiration.

‘How could the Young Lady, who was always soft, have such decisiveness?’

‘To kick Master Aaron out herself…… as expected, she was aware that she is the next head of the family.’

During that time, the vassals couldn’t bring themselves to ask the Young Lady, who didn’t even know the ways of the world because she was constantly taking it easy in the mansion, to shoulder a heavy burden.

A body born so weak that even going out had to be prohibited.

The sorrow of losing her mother early on.

Even the father who continued to be stationed in distant places.

To her, who must have been lonely all the time for various reasons, her blood-related uncle Aaron must have had a special meaning.

So the vassals waited until they secured clear evidence, even if they saw him coveting Heron’s wealth and authority.

But for the Young Lady to kick Aaron out herself.

The employees felt a strange thrill, as if they had witnessed some turning point that would be recorded in history.

“Young Lady……. When I submit the next report to the Master, I will explain today’s events in detail. He will surely be pleased.”

Then, Butler Baron of the mansion, who had a similarly moved face, stepped in and offered an opinion.

“Since the next letter is scheduled to be sent in a month, if we describe the Young Lady’s exploits one page a day starting from today—”

“Head Butler, I don’t think it needs to be summarized so briefly just because it’s a letter. Since this is an important event for the House of Heron, how about documenting it over two pages per day?”

The employees started a short discussion, saying they had to inform the Master of this historical event as vividly as possible.

Levi slightly avoided the sparkling eyes of the record addicts.

‘Do these people want to leave behind a record like the Annals of the Dynasty?’

Eyes that considered her commendable, something she had never received in her past life.

Somehow, at the same time as feeling a ticklish sensation, she felt a bit sorry for having suspected them.

Isn’t it a cliché of romance fantasy to discover the atrocities of employees while digging through accounting books?

Because of what she had read, she had dug through the accounting books just in case, and the result was surprising.

‘There wouldn’t even be Excel in this era, so how did they record the books so meticulously?’

The work processing of Heron’s vassals was truly perfect and clean.

There were no signs of embezzlement or window-dressing accounting, and above all, they didn’t forget to report to the head of the family by letter every quarter.

Confirming that there were several reliable supporters in the Heron mansion who would help her, a corner of her heart became warm.

She was also infinitely grateful that they had added their strength along with absolute trust in her, who had been passive in family affairs.

Feeling the warm gazes toward her, Levi’s heart became touched. And naturally, she could tell one fact.

That this life would be different in many ways from the past life, which was a series of lonely efforts with no one to recognize them.

“Thank you, everyone. For watching over and protecting me during that time, and for helping me kick Aaron out today.”

“Young Lady……”

“Now, I will work hard at my job as the Acting Head so as not to worry everyone.”

Levi smiled broadly and headed to her office, where the items Aaron had siphoned off would be gathered.

It was because receiving the affectionate gazes she wasn’t yet used to made her feel a bit embarrassed for some reason.

The head butler, who couldn’t take his eyes off her back, inadvertently recalled the moment when the head of the family, Elbert Heron, inherited the title and headed to the office for the first time.

A gaze that becomes infinitely firm and strong the moment one resolves to change. The heads of Heron whom he had served were always thus.

“For the Master, I should describe the Young Lady’s exploits today in the volume of a book. He will surely be pleased.”

A soft smile was hanging on the lips of Baron as he said so.
