Chapter 43's

...* * *...

Seymour went to inspect half of the Hanua Plantation and found that major construction was underway on the nearby Borotna plantation.

“Oh, Princess Icard will recover soon.”

Now that he had become a Baron, it was quite easy for him to get around the area and hear the rumors circulating.

"Healing…? Why?"

“I'm not sure why, but she's not feeling well. They said it was not a deadly disease. It was a mild case of pneumonia.”

"Why did he come all the way here?"

“Yes, rumor has it that Duke Icard cares deeply about his daughter-in-law. When she was an orphan, she took him in, personally as well.”

Back then, Seymour narrowed his eyes to the large construction site. The waiter who delivered the rumor smiled and added. "It's not a big deal, but everyone suspects he's making a big fuss because he's worried."

"Thank you?"

“That's why they fixed the villa.”

"Hm."

"They will also have a big banquet here, so today will be very busy."

“Hosting a banquet ..”

“Although many people will mock her for being the daughter of a fallen Prince. She is Princess Icard. ”

He then let out a thin breath.

“Although far from the capital, rumors have already circulated this much here.I guess the social world is not easy anywhere.”.

“Don't words spread faster in places that are rather remote and small?”

He smiled at the servant's words. Yes, it seems so. Fortunately, he also wanted to meet Princess Icard. There were some things he wanted to ask her.

“Didn't you say you'll be going to the capital soon? The baron won't make it, will it? Well, it's just a formal greeting. ”

After hearing what the maid said, Seymour immediately shook his head.

"No, I have to attend."

'Wasn't the banquet a good opportunity to approach her naturally?'

"I'm from this area now anyway."

He planned to stay a little longer as he still had something to do in this area. So, there was no reason not to wait until he met with Laria. On the one hand, the timing is perfect.

Thinking things were going well, Seymour grinned.

...* * *...

Inside the Vestian Dark Information Guild.

"Sven, this is a chance."

Serena said, tidying her nails.

“I can finally meet Laria.”

Sven is looking for an opportunity to meet Laria. However, as it was difficult for him to escape and it was not easy for him to easily sneak into the Duchy. Even the painter, Redian, who had last contacted him, was almost expelled at one point.

But then, some ambiguous things happened.

Ten Redian paintings were purchased in Laria's name. Nevertheless, as his reputation slowly rose, the price of the painting began to soar several times.

Apparently, after being introduced to several salons, the number of buyers suddenly increased.

"Have you talked to Laria about painting?"

Sven is shocked and asks Laria's opinion of Serena.

Serena replied, nodding slowly.

“But... it's not time yet, so he told me to wait even longer.”

“As expected, it's worth paying attention.”

“Sven, do you know why there is so much fuss about the artist? He was in obscurity, but then ... "

“Itu—”

Hearing that, Sven furrowed his brows.

“...Seymour Letucia is working on background.”

"What…?"

Serena was surprised by the unexpected name and muttered in annoyance.

"Wow, the stalker was terrible ..."

“Where did Laria find Redian again? After all, it seems Seymour has taken her to various places, as well as to the salons.”

"How did Laria find him?"

Serena shook her head and flicked her tongue in frustration.

“By the way, let's meet Laria and talk to her. I think I'll finally be able to see it. ”

Even if she went to Borotna to treat herself, Laria had to be careful with her movements as she brought all kinds of servants and employees from the Duchy.

This was why Duke Icard was such a formidable opponent.

However, a very good opportunity awaits.

“They held a banquet there, as we expected.”

If the only Duke Icard would not hold a banquet for the Young Princess, he would be an easy prey for everyone in the social circle. The more magnificent the banquet, the stronger the presence of Princess Icard as a talk in the region.

“Then, we can finally tell him that he is our wish that we have long cherished.”

He laughed as if he was satisfied.

“I hope Laria will accept us without any resistance.”

7 — Family and Blood Bonds.

“This is the latest trend. I think it would be very pretty if you put the diamond on the neckline. ” Lisa explained excitedly about piling up the catalog in front of me.

“And Tiara, like this..”.

“Tiara is rather ancient. If you're going to put something on his head, isn't this better?”

He glared at Serena, who was stepping in the middle of us looking through the catalogue together.

“Can't the doctor be loyal to his duties?”

'Oh, did Lisa originally have this kind of personality?'

She had a very calm and hard-working image, but after Serena came, she became very excited.

"There's nothing more suitable for Miss Laria's first banquet dress."

Lisa spoke as if sighing and continued.

“There will be some territorial in the social circle of the region. That is why she should wear the most expensive, beautiful and trendy dress in the Capital.”.

Then, his eyes flashed with anger.

“It's an important event, so don't interfere. What's the point of you interfering as a doctor?”

"No, if it's an important event, of course, I have to intervene for his mental health."

Lisa and Serena's opinion was divided on everything, and finally, I had no choice but to meditate. Peace comes only after Lisa agrees to choose a dress while Serena chooses an accessory.

“Nona Laria, do you have any other ideas? It's a little embarrassing—”

I wanted to choose it myself, even though I was unsure of the beauty standards of this world because I had never attended a banquet before.

“I... well, I like everything.”

“Duke itself adds that you don't have to worry about the budget at all. There are no restrictions at all, so you don't need to discuss it with the butler. You just need to spend money like pouring water.”

'Thank you…?'

Suddenly, I had a much higher level of taste than others in this world's standard of beauty.

"Let's add more jewelry to that dress and also the best diamonds."

'This is the taste of having very standard and luxurious money.'

"Tell them to stick it meticulously in a place that people don't see easily."

"So…"

Lisa was thinking. After a while, he clapped his hands excitedly.

“Maybe, I had to talk to the butler and ask him to connect me with the jewelry store. There are only so many jewelry in the closet.”

“Oh, Lisa.. can you do that? When things get messy like this, I.”.

I replied with a breath.

"I'm so happy…"

But one thing was missed. When Duke Icardi said, 'Spread the money unconditionally,' the scale was much larger than I expected.

Shortly after Lisa asked the butler to connect her to a jewelry store, the Duke's residence had three of the capital's most famous jewelry stores.

The jewelers lined the living room with all the famous jewelry.

"It was a green diamond necklace named Tears of Spring Leaves that had not been on the market for nearly three hundred years."

As I looked at the blinking emerald, another jeweler gave a very big explanation.

“Everything on the market is fake made of emeralds, and even if it is fake, it is very expensive. For those of you who do not know jewelry, we recommend it more than half-baked.”

That was…

"Excuse me, there's an important guest."

There was someone who came in a hurry at a very bad time. Morand, the butler, uttered with an embarrassed face.

“Nona Laria, this guy says he can't contact you directly because he came in a hurry after hearing about your departure.”

'Is there anyone who will rush to see me right before my departure?'

“Laria…! Oh my God, Laria!”

That person barged into the living room and hugged me before I could conclude.

“Sorry I just showed up! I'm sorry!"

With my lightning-like eyes, I noticed that the person's gaze first flashed momentarily at the jewel hanging on the table, not me.

"I just found a way to contact you after hearing about everything!"

"Who? Who...?" who's…?"

“Oh, Barrel. Auntie! That's aunt! Did your father never tell you about me?”

As far as I know, my father had no sisters.

“Couple of your father, Karen Maria Rossry. I saw you when you were three!”

Karen looked to be around her mid-thirties and wore pretty good clothes and accessories. Tears welled up in his blue eyes. She had pink hair, similar to mine, though faded more.

The funny thing was that she wore a necklace like 'Tears of the Spring Leaves.'

None of my paternal relatives came to their funeral after my parents died in the train accident. Everyone knew that my father had left me a debt.

And, of course, everyone knows that I have nowhere to go…

So, in short, my father's cousin, who only saw me once when I was three, decided to take advantage of this golden opportunity.
