Chapter 46's
...* * *...
Everyone in the room knew the situation.
“Laria is so good that she won't get angry properly, and it's hard for us to treat Laria's relatives carelessly.”
“I-it..”.
Karen stuttered, her face pale.
Duke Icard said, stirring his hair in an irritated voice, “You can be taken to the basement, or you can secretly return the Spring Leaves Tears to us. Morand, look out just in case.”
“Ya, Mr.”
I had no idea that Morand, the butler, was a jeweler until this incident.
Karen's trembling hands released a necklace that, of course, was the real 'Tears of Spring Leaf', and kicked out of the Duchy.
However, there was something that Evan and Duke Icard were unaware of. He left without even finding the fake Spring Leaf Tears he had bought. Clearly, he could not say, 'Then, give me back my necklace.' or because he would be completely imprisoned.
The Icard family had never lived a life of deprivation, so they did not even think of the existence of 'fake ones'.
Nevertheless, for someone like Karen, it must be almost all of her wealth. Perhaps, even his house was mortgaged. He came all the way here but was expelled without getting a dime, thinking that this was his turn to hit the jackpot.
'However, this is my peak ...'
"Well…"
I bow my head looking broken.
“I... I really think he cares about me... because he is my relative.”.
"I didn't say anything because I know you're happy."
Evan spoke frankly.
“In fact, it is quite common to meet fraudsters even among blood relatives. Especially, when you have never heard from them before, and they suddenly appear in front of you out of nowhere when you are successful.”
It seems that Duke Icard has also noticed Karen's intentions since she appeared, although she didn't say anything considering me.
“I... sighed ..”
I said while breathing.
“Dad, I don't have a good relative to me even in my time of need. From now on, I will ignore anyone who comes and says that they are my relatives and send them back. ”
“Laria.”
"I think I've been .. slightly hurt by this."
There was silence in the living room for a moment. Even Morand looked at me with a pitiful expression and muttered.
"That's how you grow up, Princess ..."
Now, I can say, "I don't want to meet you because there's a case like this," to future relatives who will swarm like flies in the future. Duke Icard will also expel them without excessive guilt, if I act like one.
"Yes, right."
Then, Duke Icard put his hand on my head and continued.
"You told me. You're happier here than in County Rossi. So, don't think too much about blood ties.”
"…Yes?"
"That's right, Laria," Evan joined in with a determined look.
“So, don't be too melancholic.”
I was a little surprised to see her red eyes filled with sincerity as she continued,
"I'm going to be a much better family than all your relatives combined."
Well, I didn't expect this reaction.
"Whenever they hurt you, I'll do better."
Frankly, I think it's natural for Karen to be thrown away like that. In general, who is my real family? Everyone was just trying to use me.
The same goes for Duke Icard, of course.
“At least to me, you are a family far more valuable than blood ties. Don't worry about this again.”
Despite this, I strangely felt something after hearing Evan's words.
'What the fuck…'
The corner of my heart was tingled at her unexpected warm words.
'Do I feel touched ...?'
While I was standing in a daze, Duke Icard sighed and opened his mouth again.
“You must be very upset. You don't look good.”
“You even have to leave us to go to Villa..”.
Saying so, Evan held my hand in regret.
“When you get out, I'll fill your car so you don't feel lonely. Although it cannot fill your family place, it will still be entertaining. ”
“Thanks, Evan..”.
That was a pretty good ending.
I will be given more gifts, Duke Icard must see my face and not be swept away by the truth of my relatives, and Lisa must take five days off.
And…
“Yes God, it's expensive even if it's fake! The scratches can be cleaned in just a few days. God, I love it!”
Karen's fake necklace back to Serena. It was a gift for acting so well according to the script I wrote from start to finish.
...* * *...
On the day I left, several carriages containing my luggage were attached to the procession.
Marcel also came from the temple that day to bless me before I left. All the Duchy staff exclaimed, looking at Marcel, who had shiny silver hair and soft black eyes.
“Yeah, I feel purified just by looking at it.”
"He looks very noble."
In fact, he is a fraud. . . .
"Oh, you don't speak the language of the Empire?"
Marcel nodded at Serena's naive question.
“I studied abroad for a long time, at Carovantes.”
His words roused everyone once more.
“Oh... You are a great pastor.”
I noticed the reason why Marcel was disguised as a priest. He had a proud expression on his face, receiving such praise.
'You're a con man who likes to be recognized ...'
In any case, Marcel blessed me, and once again, the pain spread throughout my body ...
I frowned.
'As expected, my body does not match my blessings.'
Marcel stepped back and smiled, and I bowed gracefully to him before asking, “Will you come to Borotna from time to time?”
“Uh... That's a little.. far...”.
"You promised."
Hearing my words, he immediately nodded as I said that, handing over an envelope containing donations.
"Yes, of course, I will go there from time to time to bless you, Princess."
'Did he forget to pretend not to speak the Imperial Language in front of the envelope?'
Half of his speech should have been swallowed by Marcel.
“I'll send you a letter inquiring about theology. Please answer me back too.”
'I wonder why my body reacts this way to a blessing.'
"I understand."
Marcel nodded with a pleased expression. After stating that her schedule was full, she immediately returned to the temple without seeing my departure.
“Laria.”
As soon as he left, Evan, who was watching all this, spoke.
“A pastor cannot marry.”
"Huh?"
“Of course, women should not get too close for no reason.”
"I know, but why are you saying all of this all of a sudden?"
“Just want you to know it.”
"…True."
I smiled and prepared to leave in earnest.
The train I was driving was so luxurious that it was large in size, but designed so that only two people could drive it. That's why Lisa and Serena fight for a long time to get the last seat on the train.
Serena finally won. Because as soon as he saw the servants, after shedding tears, they all glanced at him sympathetically. After seeing her, Morand muttered, “I can't increase the number of casualties anymore.” and forced me to assign Serena to my carriage.
When she first came to Duke's house, Serena once asked Morand if she could date anyone, and the results were very influential on other employees. He did not want any more problems to arise.
On the other hand, Evan grabbed me and kept telling me. “Laria, you are my wife. Even though we're young, okay?”
“Mnh, I know.”
“I'll be there often.”
“How long does it take to go back and forth? It's a waste of time, so please don't do it too often.”
"You don't have to be so considerate of me, Laria."
I seriously thought for a moment that I should tell Sven to cut the bridge on the road to Borotna.
Duke Icard, who stood still with his hands crossed, said coldly.
“If someone tries to rule you or has tyrannical behavior in social circles in Borotna, just write to me, no matter what.”
"I'm sorry?"
"Its innocent, soft-hearted people like you are the perfect target of society."
'If the people from Borotna don't want to play with me, will you send me a friend...?'
"If you don't get along, I'll cut all local money income."
Ah... as expected of the main villain to be able to cut off the flow of the local economy at once!
"You can buy friendship with money."
“….”
'Is this what an adult should really say to a child? I guess Evan's emotions are unstable for nothing ...'
"See you later."
Evan said, holding my hand tight until I got into the wagon.
"I'll be there at your party."
"okay."
"Guarantee of health."
"OK, you .. well, stay true to your duty."
I added emphatically, indirectly telling him not to visit for no reason.
“You have many succession classes, and you also need to practice swordsmanship.”
“Then, what will you do for me?”
“... Praising you?”
I replied, although it sounded like too little reward. Fortunately, Evan did not laugh at my words.
"I'll do my best, Laria."
Unexpectedly, Evan seemed somewhat determined.
Serena, who was sitting casually in front of me as if not wanting to lose her seat because of Lisa, glanced at her with great worry.
In the end, we were able to depart only after Serena warned with a stern expression that if we delayed our departure any longer, my fatigue would be severe.
