This Life, I Will Save The Duke (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 86
“What’s the matter?”
Anna, who had rushed over to the bed in one leap, handed her some documents. The emerald ring on Anna’s left ring finger sparkled as it caught the light. Ariel smiled faintly and slowly examined the papers— they were the deeds to Galon Territory and Half Territory, the very lands Empress Catherine had promised her long ago and which she had nearly forgotten about. Clearly inscribed in the owner’s section was the name Ariel von Elbaltan.
Good heavens. She actually handed them over. Unable to believe it right away, Ariel scrutinized the deeds again and again for quite some time.
“There’s an invitation here too.”
Anna’s voice, as she offered the invitation, was unusually excited.
“What does it say?”
“It says that since a gift has been given, Her Imperial Majesty the Empress Dowager wishes to meet you. The official reason is that you’ve been invited by Empress Catherine.”
This was perfectly acceptable. Most nobles who slandered Ariel belonged to Duke Lantiano’s faction, so entering the palace under Empress Catherine’s invitation and meeting the Empress Dowager would be a highly appropriate solution.
Since she had already accepted the gift, it would be improper to refuse. She would have to visit as soon as possible, as stated in the invitation.
“Really? Her Imperial Majesty the Empress is showing such thoughtful consideration. I should prepare a gift to bring when I go.”
Ariel nodded in agreement with Anna’s words.
“Yes, I’ll leave tomorrow since I’d also like to pay my New Year’s greetings. Please get everything ready. And we must inform Edward of this news right away.”
Her future was gradually becoming clearer.
A simple life in a modest house with her parents after they abdicated the throne—that was the life she envisioned. She would be rather busy, juggling both the greenhouse and Elia Company. From now on, she planned to take a leading role in Elia Company instead of leaving everything solely to Edward.
In the evenings, she, her parents, Anna, the two baby dragons, and Vic would sit together, sharing humble meals and conversation—mostly between her and Anna, while her parents listened quietly. Edward, as the royal court mage of Retiana, likely wouldn’t be able to join them as often as before.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
