Chapter 37's

Another important letter was from Olivia Bonnet Rivien addressed to Duke Icard.

'Who's Olivia, you said ...'

She is Duke Icard's aunt, as well as the only family left for her. At a young age, Olivia married Prince Rivien of the southeast. Currently, she lives in the Rivien with her son after losing her husband and inheriting the County. However, he never forgot the fact that he had the blood of an Icard flowing in his veins.

Therefore, he hated the people in the Duchy of Icard to call her Ny. Rivien and will insist they call him 'Olivia.' He was so cruel that no one could point out the fact that he was out of etiquette.

'She was also in the original plot ...' Olivia was a woman as old as her grandmother, although I could never expect any kindness from her.

'How evil is he!'

Olivia plays the role of a villain in a story where Princess Elani is the heroine. He is the one who annoys Evan's blooming love towards the female lead, who doesn't even care about his love.

For one reason.

"Icard's last remaining blood cannot be humiliated like this!"

He loves the Duke of Icard family. Although on the other hand, I don't think he cares too much about Evan. He was a criminal and was actually a bit of a bully when he was young, harassing Elani in a very eccentric way. As soon as the letter from Olivia arrived, Duke Icard touched his forehead.

"Well…"

He looks very troubled.

"Said he visited in person."

The date of the visit was set during Evan's absence from the Academy due to the sword contest.

Olivia is the only person Duke Icard can't carelessly deal with because she more or less raised him after he lost his parents too early. So, on the day he came to the Duchy of Icard, all the servants were very nervous.

Even Lisa who had always been calm gulped down dry saliva and calmed my hair a few times.

“You shouldn't show as many mistakes as you can .. even though you look a little older by swiping your hair to one side, right?”

"Is my hairstyle an important variable?"

"Of course."

Lisa replied suddenly, putting various ornaments in my hair.

"Miss Olivia hates to see someone look indecent."

Thas right. My mouth was wide open the first time I saw her. 'Wow, he's very fancy ...' With her slender white hair, she wore a flamboyant hat, and her makeup was extremely thick. Striking accessories and dresses that have a lot of details are mesmerizing in just one glance.

"I want to grow old like that."

I swallowed my dry saliva.

'I also want to be a grandmother who spills wealth every step of the way.'

Olivia's red eyes glimpsed at me, who was standing right next to Duke Icard.

“I haven’t seen you in a long time, Aunt.”

As soon as Duke Icard's greeting was over, I immediately greeted them politely.

"Hello grandma. It's nice to meet you. My name is Laria Rose Icard.”

Olivia nodded while flicking her tongue as she replied.

"So, you brought someone like your dead wife, yeah."

He spoke cynically and threw his fan.

'Well, this bastard–'

The fan was embossed with a huge toothless tiger. It was a small item that looked quite formidable.

'It looks like an item I will receive instead when I get a refund ...'

"He looks like a little squirrel."

'What? little squirrels? Is he really talking about me?'

"I'm afraid you're a bit rude."

Olivia's red eyes widened after hearing Duke Icard's words.

“Aren't you the one being rude? Are you really crazy?"

His words are full of energy.

“You brought a sick child to accompany Evan? Do you really want to grow old together as a widower? ”

Only then did I realize why Olivia decided to visit the Duchy. He must have been very excited when he heard the news that I was not well. Of course, she also disliked the idea of Evan rushing into marriage because of my weak body.

"From the beginning, it was ridiculous."

He said while pointing at me while folding his fan.

“Seriously, you brought the daughter of a fallen noble through marriage? Isn't that crazy enough to think about?”

Duke Icard remained silent for a moment with his lost eyes and muttered.

"Well, now that I think about it, it's really surprising."

Then, he glanced at me and spoke.

“I did not ask the doctor about your condition, and we did not hold the wedding ceremony. If you're upset, I'll buy you a wedding dress. ”

'Bridal dress? I really don't need that…'

Triggered, Olivia widened her eyes and shouted again.

“They said she didn't even have a proper education to be the Princess of Icard! You get Evan a partner who's like a donkey. She's not even ready to get married!”

"That's right. She's definitely not ready to get married.”

He looked back at me and said,

“I think I'm too indifferent. When Evan returns, I will ask him to write his own proposal ”

'What are you talking about? I don't need a proposal or a wedding dress.'

“Again, he has not been introduced to the social world! Is it really not enough to leave Evan unattended, now do you really bring a useless bride for a future Duke candidate?

Duke Icard seems to agree with his statement.

“True. I'm not at all considering your age and social status among peers. ”

He looked back at me and said,

“I shall ask all young nobles around your age in the capital to send wedding gifts right now.”

'Dad, your mind doesn't make sense. Can you calm down right now!'

Olivia sighed and took a breath with a hint of astonishment. Surprisingly, this turn of events was also strange to me.

"I should have known you were crazy when your humor was ridiculous!"

I opened my mouth wide. Surprised, I gave Olivia an inner handshake when I finally witnessed someone being honest rather than trying to be on Duke Icard's good side.

“... Since aunt is old, lately, I found many people who enjoy it. Laria also likes it, you know.”

Olivia snorted as if she had seen a ridiculous sight. He spoke coldly with his eyes staring at me as if he knew everything.

"You, seeing how you've lost all manners, you seem to get into a trance."

Is correct.

Obviously, it's gonna happen because he's the only one who can help me, you know? So, it doesn't matter if I crawl on the floor and sell my soul by acting funny and charming.

“In my experience, you will always be hit from behind by kids like this at the end.”

'H-how do you know? You have a good understanding of how to read people.' I admire his insight.

"With that innocent face, it was clear that he did not help the Duchy at all!"

It's a little harsh. It's true that I may not help, but still . 'not that I can't help ...'

“Can you say she is the right Princess of Icard? Oh?"

Since I didn't want to get stuck here while listening to the things he said, I decided to move on to Plan A.

"grandmother."

I looked at him with a pitiful look.

“I know I have many shortcomings.. and I am very sorry to have inconvenienced you.”.

Then, I tried my best to look pitiful and speak in a weak tone. I'm sure that Duke will side with me ...

"Look! Look it!"

…Unlike before, Olivia shouted.

“This is why I have no choice but to come here myself! You are always affected by something like this! This useless girl is very similar to Matilda in every aspect I see, isn't she?”

There was no time for Duke Icard to intervene.

"You!" Olivia looked straight at me and shouted.

"Follow me! Now!"

“A-what?”

He spoke bitterly with his hands on his waist.

“What are you talking about now, grandma? No matter how angry Grandma is, it doesn't change the fact that I'm Princess Icard. Repeat what I just said!”

"…sorry?"

“Don't open your eyes so round! Raise chin!”

“…”

“Why didn't you answer me? Hurry up and tell me everything I just said! ”

I answered quickly and started to spit out words inside my mind without a filter.

"I have round eyes since I was born .. I'm sorry."

"Ha. Do you have no strength or confidence? Is it that easy for you to apologize?”

“I've been like this since..”

“Then what, huh? Are you going to insincerely cling to people for your own safety? ”

"That's right .. You're very wise."

"You." Olivia beckoned at me with her blazing eyes.

“No, you don't need to go to Borotna anymore.”

"What?"

Waita minute. This is not what I expected to happen…

“It was in the south, quite close to the Rivien. In that case, you should follow me back to get a decent education.”

The Rivien is in the southeast, so it is quite far from Hanua, which is located in the southwest. All my plans would turn into smoke if I were taken to the Rivien…

'No matter how cool Olivia is, she can't do this!!'

I let out an internal scream.
