The Fake Princess's Soul Contract Duke

Chapter 15: First Time Into Duke's Room

One word that managed to come out of Alianora's lips when she heard Estelle's words.

"Huh?"

Wait, did this kid just say Aethergarde? And letters? Aethergarde sent 'me' a letter? Make what?

If he was not now in Thalia's body, but in the body of another noble's son, it might not be strange if he received the letter, though, because indeed in the period of one to two months is the time for the children of the nobility who have been baptized to receive invitations to accept new students from the academies.

But the thing is, Alianora is now Thalia here.

Somehow his brain was spinning, he could not remember that there was a scene where the famous Aethergarde once sent Thalia a letter.

Never in three lives!

Alianora thinks between her being misheard or indeed the principal or whatever leading all the Aethergarde officers who are completely insane.

"Sister, don't you want to see it?"

Then there's Estelle who makes Alianora increasingly clueless with her behavior lately. For example, now, why compared

Alianora, is she the one who looks more enthusiastic?

Uh wait, enthusiastic?

"Why, Elle? What's the letter?"

"Er, I don't know. The envelope was given magic that no one but brother would be able to open. I only had time to see the outer envelope, the color was red and there was the inscription of the name of the brother. Dad said it was a call envelope, but I don't know either."

she said with a sweet smile.

Alianora observed Estelle's facial features for a while, before finally shaking her head.

No, it feels like Estelle is telling the truth, that she doesn't know anything about the contents inside.

When viewed from Estelle's behavior, the letter from Aethergarde was so interesting that it was like this, there was no way she wouldn't have read it first if she could.

"Oh, ah of course Elle, where's the letter?"

alianora said as she climbed the stairs following Estelle, trying to stay calm.

"In dad's room, brother."

"In dad's room? Why could? Why don't you take her straight to my room?"

"Dad said, I want to talk to brother, so you're not in dad's room."

Estelle answered innocently.

"Ah, so it seems."

In his mind, Alianora still continued to guess what the letter contained.

As she recalled, although Thalia's identity as the Apostle Soul was finally revealed when she was about 17 years old, Thalia was never included or trained specifically in the magical field.

The priests took all their time and used it, while Aethergarde ignored it.

Well, that's understandable, because at that time Thalia still did not have any magic abilities, so even though her status was the Apostle Soul as long as she had no talent, she did not, then it was impossible for him to be able to enter into Aethergarde.

After walking down the long corridor Alianora could finally see a pair of giant black door leaves right before her eyes.

Alianora looked at the door with a lazy look. He did not expect that if he had to deal with Kalisto again that quickly, it felt like only yesterday he had to take the trouble to hold his mask in front of that person, and this time he had to do it again.

Indeed dealing with humans this one is really troublesome.

After being at the door, the two bodyguards immediately bowed towards Alianora and Estelle respectfully, which Alianora only replied with a cold gaze.

At least the servants here had started to give him the proper respect, surely because they did not dare to mess with the prospective saint of the Kingdom of England.

Not that Alianora cares about it, but if I'm honest, she feels more comfortable when she sees people who don't know themselves to be able to behave properly.

As they were about to enter the room Alianora glanced to the side and found Estelle following him from behind with a smile. Alianora.

"Elle, why are you following me?"

Estelle who heard this just tilted her head slightly while putting on an expression that said 'why is it?'.

"Oh, I also want to see the contents of the letter, sis! After all, I was curious too! It might just be that it really is a new student acceptance invitation for big brother!"

With Estelle's reply earlier, Alianora became speechless.

She just gawked at Estelle from top to bottom, this kid can't she hear her own shameless speech?

Looking at Alianora's stiff face, Estelle's expression instantly turned to be parched.

"Or, don't you want me to be with you?"

Alianora's brows grew increasingly grim, and she almost lost control of her expression.

He hoped that his face would not show his heart.

Of course, boy. So, know yourself and get out of the way quickly.

But unfortunately, before Alianora could concoct delicate words to repel Estelle, the door in front of her was already wide open, revealing the figure of Kalisto sitting on her chair while folding her hands handsomely.

His gray silver hair that fluttered in the night wind, was glistening under the yellowish light. His pair of bluish eyes that were staring at Alianora, added to the coldness of the room's temperature.

From behind her, Estelle immediately jumped up in excitement and ran to her father who caught her in a warm embrace.

Alianora rolled her eyeballs.

Really, father-son who does not know themselves.

"Dad," Alianora bowed politely, "I heard that there was a letter addressed to me from Aethergarde. Can I see it?"

Oh Alianora did not mean to be outspoken, but she was in no mood to linger there at all.

"Thalia."

His tone sounded a bit colder than usual, whether it was Alianora's feelings alone or not.

Ah, if Alianora thought again, the look in her eyes was also stiffer and piercing. He looked more like he was going to eat it alive.

"What are you doing this time?"

continue Kalisto without blinking though.

Alianora cleared her throat slowly, "Uh, I seem to lack understanding of what father meant. Actually, what was written in the letter?"

Estelle's face on her lap looked worried, no, rather than worrying it was more in a curious direction as well.

Kalisto sighed and immediately lowered Estelle, then took out an envelope from inside the desk drawer. The envelope was completely maroon-red, but when Kalisto touched it, in the blink of an eye there was a kind of flash of yellow chain-shaped light flashing around the envelope.

Ah that must be the magic.

"This is a call letter. The head of Aethergarde, Archmage Othima, specifically calls you. Did you make trouble with him?"

Alianora was again stunned to hear that name, a name that did not even make it to her memory list.

Othima Archmage? Who else is this guy?

No matter how hard Alianora tried to tear apart her memories, but the name 'Othima' was simply not recorded.

Whoever this man is, he's a new man to Alianora and also to Thalia.

Estelle who stood aside could only stare at the envelope with wide eyes, which, according to Alianora, was not a contrived expression.

"archmages... Archmages...Othima..why could.." murmured Estelle to herself.

Alianora obviously had no idea what great this person was, but from her title which was Archmage, and also the leader of Aethergarde, it felt like she had a decent reputation.

I don't know what business made this guy want to see him.

"Dad, may I see the contents of the letter, perhaps I can get an answer from there."

Kalisto looked at me for a moment, then handed the envelope to Alianora.

"I don't care what you do out there, but if you ever defame this family, then I won't forgive you again."

cetus Kalisto pressed his last sentence, and looked straight at Alianora.

From his point of view, Alianora's face only looked half, while his eyes were covered by his bangs, so Kalisto could not see that Alianora's expression at the time did not show that she was listening to his words just now.

Alianora looked at the envelope in her hand.

The bright gold inscription before him had indeed carved his name clearly, and behind him, a deep purple seal with a gold-printed calligraphy of the letter 'A', stuck there neatly.

Alianora touched the deep purple seal and instantly the golden chain-shaped light broke into pieces, then simply vanished.

Alianora's eyebrows slightly raised.

Oh, it seems like magic today is very practical, hm?

Then, Alianora took out a piece of paper and read it.

'Your Honor, Miss Thalia La Sheridan.

Due to something, then, we are expecting a sister's presence at the Aethergarde Magic High Academy, tomorrow at 9am. We hope that sister can come on time. Thank ye.

Signed, Archmage Othima.'

Not even a paragraph!

Because of something what?

This guy didn't explain anything!

But before Alianora could make any further comment, she looked down at the contents of the letter, faintly appearing a few ink strokes that formed an additional sentence.

'Ps: I know what you're looking for. If you're interested, then come here Miss 'Thalia''

Alianora's eyes immediately opened. His heart beats faster every second as his eyeball moves three more times.

The result remains the same. He really did not read wrong.

But instead of making her happy, Alianora felt suspicious instead.

This person, who wrote him a letter, Archmage Othima, was clearly the one he had never seen the trunk of his nose.

As for this person, in his letter saying that he knew what Alianora was looking for?

Does he really know, or is he just pretending?

If he really knows, where does he come from?

Alianora never told anyone about her body, not even Mary. So it is impossible for that person to know something that he does not know what it is looking for.

If he lied, what was the reason?

Although Alianora underestimated humans like fleas, but she knew that humans who had the title of Archmage were different from ordinary humans.

Other than in terms of strength, their minds were also more enlightened, at least he had never seen any Archmage say anything unreasonable before. Not before this.

Estelle who had been waiting for Alianora's reaction, was impatient again, she went towards Alianora to look at the contents of her letter.

"What is that brother? What's written on it?"

But before Estelle could get close to him, Alianora closed the letter, put it back in the envelope, and closed it tightly.

His expression was flat and calm, as what was written just now in the letter did not bother him at all.

"It's not important, Elle. I also don't know what Archmage Othima wanted from me, he didn't deliver it in the letter."

Estelle looked at Alianora straight. His mouth was slightly open in disbelief, and his eyes widened. He was about to ask more questions but Alianora cut him down smoothly.

"Dad, as I said before, I didn't feel like I was doing anything wrong. But it seemed, from this letter, Archmage Othima wanted to talk to me about something so, I'd better go face him tomorrow."

"Whatever, it's important you don't do anything."

reply Kalisto coldly, without giving a hint of glare to Alianora.

"Of course, dad. Then, excuse me first."

With that Alianora immediately left the room so that it would no longer be questioned by Estelle.

At least, not in front of Kalisto, because he certainly could not possibly deceive or deny Estelle.

Ah, it's very troublesome.
