Because She Had A Time Limit, She Became The Villain’s Daughter-in-law Chapter 115

What are you talking about, father?

Evan seriously interrupted.

What do you an Laria must live? Didnt you say it wasnt a fatal disease?

Thats

I quickly stopped Duke Icard.

That-that, that must be because you dont trust Serena! Father, what are you talking about! Even if Im really dying, you shouldnt say that here!

Even though emotions intensified, perhaps Duke Icards rationality had not died at all and he kept his mouth shut. Evan couldnt ask any more as Elanie interrupted and made more fuss.

What are you saying that the attending physician assigned by Duchy Icard is not good? You should have said it earlier. The best dical staff in the Imperial Palace

Are you ignoring Duchy Icard right now? We also have the power to mobilize at least the dical staff of the Imperial Palace!

Lady Olivia interrupted and scread again.

Besides, why is soone from the Imperial Family ddling in the affairs of Duchy Icard? This is our family business!

If you put it like that, your last na is Livienne, right?

I am the godmother! Godmother!

I couldnt think at all. It was literally chaos, catastrophe, and despair. Still, one thing was certain If a doctor other than Serena diagnosed , my seven years of pretending to be ill would crumble.

Co here! Duke Icard, why are you there? One more drink!

At a table far away, the Emperor shouted at Duke Icard.

Its a historic day when the Duke finally drank with !

As he went on, the Emperor looked very happy. Maybe because drinking with Duke Icard was quite good.

Yes, father. Go to it. We, young people, will organize this.

I pushed Duke Icards back.

Hng.

Scoffed, he seed rather annoyed. All of a sudden, he abruptly burst out with bombshell remarks.

What good thing to say to that narrow-minded jerk who was making a fuss about digging my wifes grave to check my loyalty for no justification?

Again, silence fell in the banquet hall. It was because everyone froze after listening to the Dukes words.

I, too, was so shocked that I couldnt breathe.

Even if Elanie was a mber of the Imperial Family, she was a common-sense person who would let it go as long as she didnt get hurt. So, even if she threw things around and fought with Lady Olivia, there would not be any big problems, except that their relationship was extrely bad.

In particular, Lady Olivia was from Livienne and had little to do with politics. However, the case of Duke Icard and the Emperor was different. He was now the head of a noble family, while the Emperor was the narrow-minded jerk.

Im sure this wouldnt go unnoticed.

It was only at that mont did I finally realized what dor had done earlier. Even if Duke Icards emotions were aggravated by the fairys breath, he was not so stupid as to curse at the Emperor.

The bottle he opened must have contained the damn [ Truth Drug ] that Evan and I had seen in the Magic Tower.

Originally, it was mixed with black magic, so it shouldnt escape from the Magic Tower Nonetheless, when I thought about the wizard who said, Support is available, custor, it seed like he would have sold it for money unconditionally.

Is the opponent random?

Well Its a drug based on black magic, so its 100% for people who are compatible with black magic, but there are very few people like that.

After Evan inhaled the fus, he had the side effect of telling the truth at random. However, when I thought about it, the opponent was certainly .

Besides, I was connected in so way to black magicwhether it was because I didnt try to find out about it in earnest in the antithere was a lot of evidence of whether the blessing for Neo reacted or not.

I see Anyway, you just need to inhale the smoke.

I thought that if it were a drug in the form of smoke, the person who prepared it would also inhale it, so it would not be very effective in making the opponent uncomfortable. Since the opponent and the timing were also random, I thought it wouldnt be comrcialized.

Still, I dont care how much dor tells the truth. We just need to leave.

The puzzle was put together right away, and my mouth went dry.

Duke Orlando Of course, I didnt know if the drug reacted 100 percent to , but it didnt matter anyway.

It doesnt matter if the opponent is random or the timing is random. Its worth trying. Besides, even the fairys breath is working, so

Fortunately, the Emperor did not hear Duke Icards words and fell down on the table right away, snoring.

Nevertheless, when the emperor cos to his senses again, it will go straight into his ears

I quickly grabbed Evans arm.

Evan, your father must have been very drunk. Go to the balcony and get so fresh air.

Duke Icard also looked dumbfounded. Perhaps he was surprised by the words he had uttered.

Laria, what about you?

I have to show my ankle to Serena. If there is any problem, I will go to the Dukes residence first. Dont worry, Ill go with Lady Olivia.

As he was guessing the repercussions of this incident, Evans head was spinning in a hurry.

It was not a good choice for everyone in the Duchy to leave this place as rumors would spread out of control, making it even more difficult to deal with. It was a superior strategy to make the work small after sohow holding it out so that it could not be talked about openly later.

And, I

In the midst of the confusion, my heart finally cald down. It was really fleeting though all kinds of emotions and thoughts passed by. Even though I would run away in a week anyway, when dor approached Duke Icard, I instinctively scread.

Ah

And even now, when Duke Icard was in a very embarrassing situation

I want to save him.

My heart sank.

I see.

Although I felt like I was going to cry, I held it back.

No matter how much I said no, even if I said I would only think of myself

These people who are making a fuss about my ankle, which doesnt hurt much, I

I already thought of these people as family.

All this ti, I tried not to think too deeply. In particular, with Duke Icard, I thought that he could directly kill , so I was vigilant until the end. No matter how much I was loved, I never forgot that it was a cow that would end up in a slaughterhouse.

Nevertheless, I

When I found out that Duke Icard was in trouble because of the iron ore mine, I imdiately went into iron ore mining even though it didnt really benefit much.

Not only that, I didnt just like Evan I had already valued the people of Duchy Icard. It was only when my emotions were intensified by the fairys breath that I overca reason in an extre situation and accepted it.

I dont know when it started.

There were too many things to rember. I didnt know if it was because I received many things. I was grateful for the sincerity of those people who frantically asked about my safety, even during the attack.

But, in the anti, I was just trying hard not to be conscious of it. I thought that no matter how much I was loved, I would eventually be abandoned.

While I was loved, I kept making comparisons.

In that comparison, I always lose because, to Duke Icard, reviving Matilda was more important than my own life.

Also, no matter how much Evan cherished , he would eventually listen to his father. So, as a defense chanism, I kept thinking, Im going to leave, so Im going to leave everything behind. However, it was only now that Id reached a dead end that I realized that when you really like soone, you shouldnt do those calculations.

Even if I wasnt number one for them, I could put them in number one.

Lets protect them.

After making up my mind once, I felt rather relieved.

My family, I will protect you Then, Ill leave.

At least I would make sure they wouldnt get into trouble with this.

Evan, hold on.

Approaching Evans side as I tiptoed over, I whispered in his ear.

Anyway, I think father took the truth drug. You know who was in charge at the Magic Tower, right?

What? No, how do you

It seems that there is a phenonon of telling the truth Hold on for thirty minutes and let him have a drink with His Majesty again. I will sohow make him feel better.

Still, this is not a problem that can be solved by making him feel better. No matter what you do today, if the excitent of tomorrows banquet is ruined

I just need to get it on today. Trust . Anyway, its important to stay in place until the end of the banquet. Understand?

As I finished whispering, I stepped away from Evan. With a slight smile, I went on softly.

I will figure it out myself after that. Dont worry too much.

Laria

Evan gazed at as if he was seeing a very different person. I guess so. It would be the first ti he had seen unilaterally grasping and directing the situation.

No. Its not the first ti youve seen it, you couldnt have imagined it even.

Despite that, I knew instinctively because Evan was soone who believed in and did what I said. Of course, he would ask all about it later, but

Father.

I stood in front of Evan and Duke Icard. The Duke looked drunk, and his face was confused. Looking into his eyes, I opened my mouth soothingly.

Its okay.

I smiled slightly before grabbing my skirt and giving him a greeting.

Everything will be fine. Everything is according to fathers will I will make it so.

Evans eyes t mine. His bewildered red eyes looked lost.

Evan.

I quietly called his na.

Even though it was a little late, I was glad I realized it later. Emotions that have been precious for a long ti and had been sothing I pushed away from the beginning, so I had not been able to look closely.

I put all those emotions into it and said with a smile.

Thank you for all this ti.

The mont our eyes t seed like an eternity.

Take care.

It was my farewell ssage that I handed over in the beautiful banquet hall under the spotlight. Feeling sothing strange, Evan tried to talk to , but I imdiately turned around with Lady Olivia.
