The Fake Princess's Soul Contract Duke

Chapter 19: The Unexpected Problem

Brakes.

Alianora slammed her body on the mattress, and instantly her joints instantly felt limp. His head was set on a soft pillow that made his eyes impatiently close.

After attending the invitations from the nobles, it felt like Alianora's ears were about to explode.

Today was the most exhausting day for him. Not only physically, but mentally.

It was fortunate that he was still able to put on his maximal 'noble boy' mask until everything was done.

Although there was a calamity coming out of nowhere, which almost made him vomit blood.

He really can't say anything.

It felt like the people around him were eager to see him lose his temper. If they dared to do this to him who was still a murderous goddess, they were really looking to die.

I don't know what people think today.

Especially the Kalisto. The man who almost made her choke to death.

Alianora was very clueless with the way the man thought.

What's the point of doing all that? Alianora still doesn't understand.

It made sense that he would suddenly, for example, marry Alianora to another noble child in order to establish a business relationship, as most other nobles do.

Although to Alianora it was unnatural, but her behavior was still understandable. Well, if it suddenly forces his daughter to enter the convent? Is Kalisto really crazy?

What's in it for him if Alianora enters the convent? Most only loss, because Alianora can no longer be used as a bridge between two families, at any time he needs it.

Just because the priests said that an Apostle's Soul should enter the monastery, because of their status as saints, Kalisto agreed.

Did he want her to see his generation's daughter leave his house?

No matter how hard Alianora tried to think, she still could not understand Kalisto.

Imagine that this afternoon he was almost thrown into the cathedral to start his new life as a faithful servant of God Ilios, he better fall asleep for the next thousand years.

However, Alianora was very grateful that it did not happen, although to foil the plan, it was very difficult.

Kalisto did have strong intentions to enter the monastery, until Alianora almost lost the reason that could make Kalisto change his mind.

Alianora had even tried to say that she still wanted to get married, in the hope that it can bring a little enlightenment in Kalisto's brain that Alianora is more useful to be a noble girl than a nun who must continue to be holy.

Alianora's plan failed.

Until finally, because he was desperate, he was finally forced to make a deal with Kalisto. A deal that makes his head woozy now.

'Dad listen to me. I don't want to enter the convent, it's because I still want to be accepted into the academy!'

'Academy? You still wish that were the case? You better not embarrass this family name, and go to the convent.'

'I'm sure I'll be accepted. I'm going into Aethergarde. I guarantee that.'

'Are you crazy?'

'No, I'm sure it will happen, and if I'm not welcome in Aethergarde, then I'll enter the monastery.'

'....Are you sure?'

'Yakin.'

'If you don't get into Aethergarde?'

'Then I'm going to the monastery.'

'Alright. I'll give you until next month, if you haven't received an invitation letter, then you should go to the convent. There is no rejection.'

After that, the two pastors also seemed to have no objections to it.

They seemed to be calm, even too calm as they had expected everything.

They also requested that Alianora should at least begin to study basic theology, for the Apostle's soul, which would become a saint, was indeed required for it, and Alianora was forced to agree.

Although she also wanted to protest, but she knew that there was no more compromise room for her, so with a very heavy heart, Alianora was forced to stay silent, but she could not fight them now either.

Now, what Alianora was more worried about was her agreement with Kalisto.

Alianora buried her face on the pillow and ruffled her hair.

"Argh, why don't I ask for two months, three weeks is too much where can I do it?"

At least he should be able to repair his body before next month, otherwise he might not be accepted.

But the thing is, now that he has just got an ally, and has just started the process of figuring out what is wrong with his body, thinking about how to cure it he is still nothing.

Hopefully his archmagen ally this time can quickly bring good news for him.

Ah, speaking of Archmage Othima.

Alianora rolled her body until her head stared at the ceiling of her room.

"Hm, if I ask him to put me in Aethergarde, no, no. He might be able to do it if I force him, but the problem is later in the academy, I'm sure I'll be caught if I don't have magic."

Indeed at the beginning, he could definitely make it into Aethergarde, but for the next time, in the later learning as well as other things that would be related to magic, he definitely could not pretend anymore.

Moreover, Thalia's non-magic status was already spread throughout the noble children, so there was no one who did not know that this Thalia was, 'disfigured'.

To suddenly see a Thalia that they thought was impossible to be in Aethergarde, must have reaped a lot of suspicion.

Never mind, Alianora did not need to think about it deeply, she would definitely not succeed.

The only way was with him to immediately find a way to repair this body.

Anyway, she can't go to the monastery.

No, he really cursed it with all his heart, but also, I don't know, there was a small part of his feeling that he couldn't get in there.

When he saw the gray eyes of the familiar priest in his memory, the same eyes he had seen, his thin face that engraved a friendly smile, as well as his ink-like black hair.

All of that did look normal, but Alianora also had thousands of years of experience dealing with various kinds of people, so she could feel that behind all the warmth that was emanated, she said, there was something that made the man different from the priests he had seen.

Not because of the fact that Alianora already knew that she would turn into a rotten man in front of her later, but that was because, something else.

But Alianora still did not know for sure what it was, so she did not think too much about it.

He was just trying to focus all his thoughts on the most important things right now.

Alianora then got up from her bed and headed towards her desk.

"I have to tell this to the archmage."

muttered Alianora while pulling her desk drawer to pick up the paper.

But when he pulled the drawer, his gaze immediately caught a thick brown-coated old book, located on a pile of letters.

Alianora widened her eyes.

All the hustle and bustle that occurred from yesterday to today made him forget about the forbidden spell book.

Oh right, why don't I just ask the archmage earlier?

Alianora felt a little regretful.

It's possible that Archmage Othima knew something about this book, which Thalia got.

Perhaps he could find something from the origin of this book as well.

Alianora was about to grab the book, but a knock suddenly sounded from behind her bedroom door, making Alianora reflexively pull her hand.

"Sister? Is brother inside?"

After exhaling a deep breath, Alianora closed her drawer back, then stepped towards the door.

"Yes Elle, just a minute."

When the door of her room opened, it appeared the figure of a cute little girl with waistline unravelling hair, who was wearing a pink nightgown, looking at her with the sweet smile she often saw.

"Elle? What are you doing here?"

"Hehe, brother, I brought you this."

Estelle held her hands together and held a plate filled with mango pudding.

The surprised Alianora could only silently stare at the food.

Estelle, who saw her sister speaking nothing, grabbed her brother's hand and placed him on the plate.

"Sister at dinner last night, Elle knew that she was angry with me. Brother even left without eating dessert first. So, this is Elle bringing sister's favorite."

Alianora looked at Estelle who was smiling at him, then towards the plate, and returned towards Estelle.

His expression was flat, but the look in his eyes implied a hint of suspicion.

She didn't know that, Estelle's innocent eyes could catch it all clearly.

"This is my brother, eat."

"Hm, thank you, Elle."

Alianora finally returned Estelle's smile.

"Sama-sama brother! By the way, are you busy right now? Is Elle bothering you?"

"Ah, oh, no, no. I was sleeping for a while, maybe I was a little sleepy. Here, come in, Elle."

No, don't come in. Mending you go to bed there, little boy should sleep now.

alianora's mind was in her heart, even though her face showed a smile.

"Ah, it's okay, brother. I'll just go back to my room. Brother eat it, then rest a lot, okay? Good night, brother."

estelle said before walking towards the opposite corridor, where her room was.

After confirming that Estelle had not been seen again, Alianora then re-entered.

He put the plate containing the mango pudding on his writing desk, then sat down on the chair.

"Huh, just be surprised, that Estelle. Hm, I just got to where ya...oh, yeah, the letter."

Alianora opened her desk drawer back to pick up a piece of letter paper.

He then began to write about what he had experienced last afternoon, not to forget also he asked about the old book in the drawer.

As the minutes passed, Mary came and knocked quietly on Alianora's room door.

"Excuse me, miss. Sorry to interrupt, can I come in?"

From the inside, Alianora who had just finished writing her letter, immediately invited Mary to come in.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Mary. Come inside."

Then, Mary entered while carrying a basket full of clean clothes.

"Excuse me, miss. Does the lady need me?"

"Yes, I want to leave this to you, can you send it?"

alianora said, handing Mary a white envelope.
