“Yeah, it is. It’s not easy to see because of the abilities.”
“Trariche is amazing too. The ones who came into the shelter said so. Trariche saved them.”
“Was it tough back then? Why do you look so exhausted?”
Liche walked weakly.
Yesterday, Deon discovered that she was Lertiom.
“Blake, is your daughter really Lertiom?”
Duke Hébécman tried to question Blake, but Liche purified him thoroughly, so he left the territory without saying a word.
His feelings seemed complicated. Should he be angry that his close friend Blake deceived him, or should he be glad that his Oath was purified thanks to Blake’s daughter?
Liche felt just as conflicted.
‘What should I do?’
[What can you do? Now, you just need to wait for the prosperity to unfold before your eyes. All the Lertioms I’ve seen were like that. I guarantee it, you know?]Pythonus replied nonchalantly to Liche’s concerns, saying that the abilities are accepting her now, and he chuckled, enjoying the situation.
However, amidst Liche’s concerns, thoughts of such prosperity didn’t come to mind.
‘They all seem upset.’
Blake knew it even though he comforted Liche.
This was also very surprising to him.
Deon and Robenhaf didn’t know anything until they heard that I was Lertiom.
Maybe they felt betrayed. While thinking about it, he couldn’t say anything and became more unable to speak with the two since the second day.
“Liche.”
“Huh?”
“I believe in destiny.”
“…?”
After a long time, Robenhaf said something like he believed in destiny.
While Liche was puzzled about how to react, Robenhaf, with his blue eyes sparkling, spoke to Liche.
“So, please wait a few more years.”
In the midst of a random statement, Liche looked at Robenhaf. What was he saying? It was entirely incomprehensible. When Deon spoke to Robenhaf, who said such a thing, bluntly,
“What nonsense. Are you the only one with abilities?”
It meant not to dream since he knew what you were thinking.
Robenhaf smiled brightly, saying that you don’t know what the future holds.
“Oppa, aren’t you angry?”
“About what.”
“That… I kept it a secret…”
Deon stared at Liche and then lightly tapped her on the head. After that, he didn’t say anything. He seemed really angry.
‘Deon seems to be really upset…’
While Liche’s concerns deepened, the carriages of the noble families arrived one after another.
The carriages of the Duke’s family were no exception.
Leaving greetings that they were going to visit the Ludwick Territory, Robenhaf and Zekebert left separately.
Ian also loaded the frozen Duke Gerwer onto a luggage cart with all directions blocked.
As a result of the investigation into the incident at the palace, now everyone knew what had happened to Duke Gerwer.
The palace pointed to the Hébécman family’s abilities as the suspects who froze Duke Gerwer. However, Ian testified that it wasn’t Hébécman’s ability, so the Hébécman family was excluded from the list of suspects.
Still, since it was an incident involving a duke, an investigation was planned even after Duke Gerwer returned to the Gerwer Territory.
Liche asked Ian, who was preparing to leave, “Ian, is it okay to go to that mansion?”
“Yeah. Since Father turned out like that, it should be okay. The necklace is also gone.”
Ian smiled and whispered to Liche.
“Liche, I had a dream last night.”
It was a future rarely shown by Gerwer’s foresight.
“Something good seems to happen soon.”
Something good? Liche tilted her head. What could it be?
“I’m also going to visit Ludwick Territory. See you soon.”
Ian also left in his carriage. Ludwick was the only noble family left.
However, for a brief moment, Liche thought it might be okay to stay at the academy for a little longer.
“Liche, let’s go.”
Blake and Deon were waiting for her in front of the carriage.
This time, they were planning to go to Ludwick’s mansion instead of Ludwick’s Duke’s residence, so they would have to ride in the carriage with the two for several days.
“Yes…”
Liche reluctantly headed towards the carriage.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
