Chapter 47's

As soon as the wagon started, Serena bit her nails very nervously.

"That's dangerous. As expected, she has fallen..”.

“It's a little unpleasant, but it's a little kid..

His original work was slightly twisted due to my distraction, but if I left him in the mansion alone, he would turn into his original cold and indifferent personality again.

In the original, Evan did not shed a tear when I died. We have been together for a long time in the name of our marriage. The next day, he went to the community casually.

So, to be honest, he would care more if the plants I planted died than my presence.

Ultimately, my theory is that love changes, but people don't. Still, since you never know, if he falls at such a young age, I am preparing him at the appropriate level.

“Sven is coming to the banquet. Although since she is not a noble, she cannot attend officially, so she will dress up as a gardener.”

"Thul? Why is he coming, anyway?”

"He told me that he had something to say to you directly."

Hearing that, I just nodded without a sound.

There was no way they would help me escape with good intentions.

'There must be something he wanted from me so he decided to come see me like this.'

I breathed in my heart.

'I should have been possessed by a criminal instead ...'

Normally, criminals have everything but personality and reputation, although those factors would easily be covered with my acting abilities, and I would be able to do anything.

However, my reality right now is that I am the role of a meek supporter who must negotiate with the leader of a dark intelligence union.

“And, I got a portrait of Laria from Redian! He really did a great job.”

“Please keep it in the Vestian Guild for now. The rest of the paintings purchased from Redian will be sold for about one hundred gold per piece.”

"Yes Mom!"

"And, Serena, I have something to do as soon as I get to Borotna."

As far as I can remember, Seymour did something around this area.

"What's? What'sthat?"

"For now, please send me a letter to the temple."

The letter contained a question, asking whether people would sometimes feel pain when they were blessed. Of course, it will be sent to Marcel. Since she is still useful, I somehow have to maintain my relationship with her.

“Also, with this money..”.

I handed my pride to Duke Icard for a painting once. I took out a bag of gold coins that I obtained back then.

"I want you to take care of something for me."

All I had to do was take back the pride I had thrown away, along with the money I had earned.

...* * *...

Duchy of Icard, after Laria left.

Kallaudin was locked back in his office, as usual, receiving reports from some subordinates.

He was a bit late in the political game because he lived a simple life with Matilda without greed in his youth.

Duke Orlando, who had taken full control of the nobility until now. With his personality, if he found a noble who was more likely to be influential than him, he would brutally bite the person in the first place.

Right now, Duke Orlando's most restrained power was Duke Icard although Kallaudin had no idea what kind of controversy he would face if he got his attention for no reason.

'I am still too weak to deal with Duke Orlando ...'

He thought that the power of Icard was huge, so he suddenly spread rumors about his marriage to the Princess, making everyone wary of him. Even though he managed to defuse the gossip by bringing Laria along, he had to be careful in every way.

So, Kallaudin secretly collected information from all the nobles and used it to make them side with him.

No one knows until his ambition is determined. Of course, it takes a lot of money to do that. No matter how wealthy the Duchy was, he had to always check the profitability of the mine or the sponsoring union.

Therefore, with all his hard work, his office lights never go out until late at night. If he could keep this momentum going, after a few years, Duke Icard could form a power greater than Duke Orlando.

It was midnight when he was alone being briefed and instructed on all sorts of things. He was checking all the papers before suddenly turning towards the door.

“Dad, it's Laria! Can I come in?"

It felt strange to think that she would not be able to see Laria, who knocked on her office door and spoke to her cheerfully for a long time.

“I'm not lonely at all. Because my dad and Evan were so good to me. I was much happier than when I was at Count Rossi. ”

He is a gentle and funny boy who likes to be around the family. He may cry because he is lonely... He must have been moody the whole way on the train.

Even at the last minute, a relative they believed to be his blood relative tried to steal the gem and escape, but Kallaudin did not expect him to reveal his innermost thoughts very quickly.

'That must have been too painful for the naive Laria. I shouldn't have said anything about the social world... What if she was scared and depressed as she left?'

Kallaudin rolled up a cigarette and put it in his mouth, glancing at the painting of Laria on his desk.

"I want to avenge Dad."

Laria gave him the holy relic she wanted the most.

Although the relic was all she wanted, Laria's heart, which even stole the eyes of the priests, remained more visible in her mind.

Now when he left, he thought he would never be able to make a joke again in the Duchy. All the staff were trembling at his words and did not understand whether he was joking or not, and he did not even speak to Evan lightly.

'Evan seems to hate jokes because he's very outspoken…'

Only one little girl was missing, but the Duke's house looked dark. However, Kallaudin is not the only one who wakes up late at night.

Evan also rolled around on his bed. With Laria gone, her bed was too wide.

The room was too big for him alone.

'Before Laria came, even when I sometimes took a vacation from the academy, I never thought it was too big to use myself ...'

Now, the closet is half empty, so is the drawer.

“I don't need any successor lessons and sword training. but Laria told me to live diligently.”.

In addition, Cobb also said, if he wants to get along with a woman, he must take care of himself first. Although Evan wanted to wait until his time came at the banquet, time seemed to be going very slowly, and it felt like it would take a long time until that day…

Finally, after rolling around, he got up.

Heading to the table, Evan pulled out his favorite fairy tale book that Laria had given him, and read it over and over again for a long time.

8 — Borotna Peace.

The distance between the Capital City where Icard Duchy was placed to Borotna Villa is quite far.

“Wow, it is decorated very well.”

It is said that large-scale construction was done before I arrived, and Borotna's villa was so large that it felt embarrassing to call it a 'villa'.

“Um..”

I looked around and gave the best compliment.

"He spent money very well."

Lisa was pleased with my big compliment. Later, I learned that he had many opinions about the construction of the new villa.

"In fact, the most expensive is the greenhouse!"

"Huh?"

"As you said to Young Master because Miss Laria likes to be in the greenhouse, so we moved her with us."

Indeed, the greenhouse looks like a carbon copy of the existing greenhouse in the Duchy of Icard…

“We can get everything, but it is difficult to get Oklasia.” tree

"Oh really?"

“Yes, it is a rare species that is hard to come by. The young master emphasized it several times and told me to look for it.”

Listening to Lisa's words, I quickly thanked Evan in my head even though I knew those words would not reach her.

'Thank you, Evan ...'

Lisa's words continued.

“To be honest, I don't really know how to plant it. Managing it may be a bit tricky, so I'm glad Southwest is a region where almost all plants grow well.”

“Be-so? But how did it end up in the Duchy, Lisa?”

“A few years ago, the duke suddenly ordered it. After getting it somehow, the tree was planted in a greenhouse. ”

"So so. It's amazing.”

“Yeah, because the duke reads all kinds of books. Maybe, like a lucky symbol in every corner of the continent?”

I just nodded and shrugged my shoulders at her words.

Indeed, it is said in the novel that there was a time when Duke Icard was obsessed with books after losing his wife. After that, he sent Evan to the Academy and began to devise a plan to take control of the nobility seriously.

And, that's how my villa life started.
