Because She Had A Time Limit, She Became The Villain’s Daughter-in-law Chapter 15

***

Lets exchange answers one by one. I folded my arms and raised my chin.

All right, Laria. What are you curious about?

Id like to know about the Dukes late wife.

The original book did not describe the Duchess of Icard.

The Duke of Icard was the villain in the novel, and the background explanation was not detailed because she was just the supporting role. So, all I knew was that she died while giving birth to Evan.

It was full of the main characters stories, but I didnt see anything else about others

You an Matilda Larilash Icard. Sven scratched his chin.

Just like you, Laria, she had a political marriage with the Duke of Icard when they were children. But she was such a warm and bright person that they got along very well.

Really?

Was Duke Icard a man that got along with soone?

I tilted my head.

Matilda was a lovely woman. She was so good and kind-hearted. She was soone that you couldnt help but like.

Svens words followed.

Matilda especially liked the humor of Duke Icard, so she couldnt stop laughing.

I sighed reverently. I had to admit this.

Its true love.

This was more disastrous than Seymour and Elaine.

At the ti, Duke Icard was known to have had a happy ti with his wife, at least in a political view.

I tilted my head.

I could never imagine the face of Duke Icard spending a happy ti with his wife. Hes always expressionless and brusque.

Sohow my heart felt a little heavy.

Hes a little obsessive. The Duke would be restless without his wife, and he always wanted her in his sight. He wants to control everything and he hates her eting other n

Huh?

I was told that Matilda went to town with the Blue Clad Uniford Ludvar, the vice-captain of the Knights at the ti and that she was on the street for days and days.

Blue-clad Uniford Ludvar?

It was a nickna given to him because he always wears blue uniforms. Icard knights blue clothes were a bit dirty, so no one wore them, but he was the only one who wore it.

Ah. Why does he have such a strange aesthetic taste?

So say that it was because Matildas eyes are blue, but its hard to tell. Anyway, thats when Duke Icard said hed dig out Ludvars eyes.

Obsession and jealousy usually arent this severe. She had to listen to Matildas position to see if she really had a good ti.

Well, there were so many people who liked Matilda. If I understand correctly.

I see. I nodded my head.

She was rather weak, but she beca extrely weak after she beca pregnant with Evan.

Oh, she was weak?

So, the Duke was very nervous throughout her pregnancy. She eventually died during childbirth.

I suddenly wondered if Evans heart would grow weaker if he heard this.

No, I think he already knows enough.

Miss Laria should be careful as well.

Huh? Why?

Because you and the Duchess are very much alike.

She certainly resembles her appearance. Though that doesnt seem to be what Sven ant.

You may be very friendly, but if sothing goes wrong, you dont know how their hearts will turn. Its beyond imagination.

Wellin the original story, Evan was really indifferent to anything she does.

I blinked my eyes and thought.

Even when his first wife died and his second wife cheated on him, Evan was not hurt.

He is cute even now, but he doesnt know how friendly he is, so his heart will never turn.

Maybe the reason why the Duke went with you to the Academy was because you were so much like her. Theres no one like Matilda, so it must have been hard for him not to get attached to you.

Even though Sven gave more information about Matilda, there was nothing noteworthy. In the end, everything ca to an end, with Matilda being a warm and good person who cared for others wounds.

Miss Laria, please answer my question now then.

Very well.

Svens question was quite unexpected.

What do you think of Duke Icard?

I was lost in thought for a mont. Would Laria say, Hes a good man, or will she tell the truth?

Sven is a talented dark guild leader and a man who would be helpful if hes on my side.

So, I spoke carefully.

I think he has the potential to hold and shake the Imperial Family later on.

Svens eyes stared at . There were no additional questions whether he thought that one word was enough.

Well, thats a lot of implications.

Thats a good answer.

At least now, when Sven ets next ti, he would not think of only as a child.

I think I should go now.

Less than an hour passed, but I thought it would be better to leave it at this point today.

I held out my hand and said. Now, the ten gold coins.

I wouldnt forget.

Honestly, he would give her a hundred golds in exchange for ample information about the Duke. Though she didnt accept it as she feels like she would lose to him.

However, Sven was a little disappointed. He then laughed and handed her ten gold coins.

Ill see you next ti.

Dont forget about the doctor.

I said one more ti and quickly left the cafe.

Did you buy everything?

I waited, crossing my arms in front of the dessert shop, and laughed when I saw Lisa and the escort rush to buy Ganache one by one.

Wow, thank you.

She gave them a flower that was being sold at the store across the street. Youve had a hard ti lining up for a while. This is a gift.

They received the flowers with sowhat puzzled looks on their faces.

It didnt an much to give flowers as a gift. I just wanted to express the feeling because I feel better when I see pretty and well-treated flowers.

Butwhats wrong with their reaction?

Strangely, everyone took the flowers and made strange faces.

Whats wrong? Do you hate flowers?

No, thats not it. Thank you, Miss Laria.

Then, lets go back now.

But Ms. Laria.

Lisa looked at the envelope in my hand and said.

Whats that?

Oh, this is. I hugged the envelope tightly and grinned.

Secret.

Actually, the na of the store was shown on the envelope, so I did that for dramatic effect.

And so, we finished our short town outing. It looks like its just the right ti to go back and have tea ti right away.

It was a satisfying outing, except for the very unexpected fact that the Dark Guild leader, Sven, looked more interested in than I thought.
