Because She Had A Time Limit, She Became The Villain’s Daughter-in-law Chapter 17

Since she went out of town, the morning and afternoon flew by so fast. So, it was not until late at night that Laria was able to eat the Okrasia fruit, avoiding Lisas surveillance.

She sneaked out of the room, ate the fruit, washed up hurriedly, and yawned. Thats when Evan ca in.

Evan?

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and said.

Why are you so late?

Evan looked at , paused for a mont, and asked with a sigh.

Did you wait?

It wasnt exactly that, but I didnt sleep because I was secretly eating the tree fruits. Though I couldnt say it.

I nodded with my eyes wide open.

Of course. How can I sleep alone when youre not back?

If youre going to tell a lie, make sure you dont look suspicious.

Have you been to the Knights? Youve been training so far? All day?

Uhm.

Evan unbuttoned his vest and said that without having eye contact with .

Dont wait for from now on. Just go to bed. Ill be late.

Really? Fine, then.

You wont be able to have breakfast with anymore. Thats what I know.

Then, youre leaving early in the morning?

Uhng.

Wow hes about to win the world with swordsmanship. Since there is no war in this era, is it a matter of risking his life to train?

Anyway, I quickly went into bed and laid down.

From now on, I thought I would go to the town every morning and co ho late at night.

Well, I guess I cant even see you properly.

Thats how Evan and Laria lived together for years in the original work, but they had no choice but to avoid it.

A good sword is better than a wife. I wanted to get along well, but it was a bit disappointing.

What is this? I was falling asleep, and I heard Evans voice after washing up.

I answered half-asleep without even opening my eyes.

Oh Ganache. I bought it from downtown to give it to you. You like sweets no, you eat so well.

It was clear that he likes sweets, but when I say sothing similar, he would say sothing like, Im not a child, so I corrected it urgently.

So, I sent Lisa over for tea ti, but you said no.

.Huh?

Isnt it a waste of training all day? Eat and sleep. It was good. I ate it with father earlier.

Of course, I didnt want to stay too long, so I ate quickly and ca out coughing.

It has a great flavor that I can taste even if I devoured it. Now thats the reason why others lined up to buy it and eat it.

I bought it in line for an hour Though I didnt line up myself.

My body, which has yet to fully recover from the disease, is drooping a little too much. This body is frantically weak. I cant believe Ive been out of town.

Oh, I should say theres a gift on the table.

But I was so sleepy that I couldnt hear Evan muttering sothing.

I thought I might not be able to see him today anyway, thats why I even wrote on a card so I dont have to explain it.

As expected, I could hear Evan picking up a book on the table.

[ Evan, did you learn how to do swordsmanship today? I won a lot of money at the horse race. So, I went downtown today because I wanted to buy presents for my family.

Yours truly, Laria Rose Icard. ]

Even though Im insignificant right now because my disease hasnt fully recovered and my background hasnt been discovered yet!

It was embedded with pretense, crucial acting skills.

Its a great mingle to the duke while waiting for my death, and its also good for my sweet husband. Besides, Evan was quite attached to because we had similar mories during our childhood.

[ I went to the bookstore and bought you a book because you liked it. But I bought an easy book because it seed like you were only reading difficult books. Isnt it really pretty? Its a fairy tale book, so Ill read it for you until you fall asleep. ]

Im sure he looked really touched. Reading fairy tales until you sleep at night.

[Its not that long, but Ill read it for you later. ]

Duke Icard looked really touched earlier. Shes doubting what she saw when she opened her eyes, she will find out in the morning.

I stretched back to sleep, and when I woke up at dawn, Evan sat at the table looking at a picture without going into the bed.

What is it?

Evan held my card at the table and kept reading it over and over again.

Whats wrong with him? I blinked my eyes and thought again.

Sothing happened to Evan. Otherwise, how can a thirteen-year-old child not sleep and just sit while staring at a picture like that?

Ill just try to ignore it because if I hold Icard so dearly, I feel a little weak.

Did anything happen at the swordsmanship training today? The only thing that changed from yesterday was the start of the training.

I dont feel good about it. I think I should observe carefully.

Perhaps because I ate Okrasia way too much that I could see the improvent of the disease quickly.

When I first possessed this body, I kept feeling dizzy, didnt eat well, and my vision was spinning, but it wasnt like that these days. Eastern dicine must have developed trendously.

The Imperial dical Academy shouldnt know such a simple prescription.

My blood cells also decreased noticeably, and I had to force myself to cough in the bathroom a few tis in case Lisa caught her. I was thinking about what happened to Evan all of a sudden, and suddenly the door opened with a knock.

Lisa? Whats going on? Lisa ca in with so maids.

The determined expression of the maids was unusual, so I paused for a mont.

The Duke told to buy everything the little Lady was interested in yesterday.

Huh?

You have to wear clothes and accessories that fit your body, so Im here to asure the little Lady before I go out into town and order.

What is this sound?

While I was making a puzzled expression, the maids clung to and began to asure my body.

What the hell is wrong with father?

He says lifting and letting go of things has a bad influence on the reputation of the Duchy of Icard.

I sighed inwardly. I should have gone to a more expensive store and fiddled with sothing more expensive.

At the sa ti, Lisa also noticed I discovered that she is my watcher. She shouldnt know that I have snooped around sowhere in order for her not to tell it to Duke Icard.

Oh, my.

I should have touched a big diamond necklace instead of a little baby ruby necklace.

The Duke is so sweet

Give it to the Duke, Lisa.

I am touched. Ill wear what suits the most and say thank you to him later.

If I say sothing roughly and the atmosphere becos awkward or a joke the one cant handle, I should cough it out.

The truth is, I told him that Laria didnt go out into town to buy her things, but she only bought gifts from her family, and he looked very moved.

Why would Lisa say that out loud? I will probably use it for sothing useful.

I see

Of course, I didnt let my guard down, but it was true that she was slightly moved. In front of expensive gifts, her frozen heart was also soft.

I guess its easy for him to spend money

But maybe the Duke opened his heart to because I acted with all my might?

He is a capable villain, so cant he take over the Imperial Family any other way?

Then, wouldnt we be able to live together forever as a close family like this?

I dont know why the Duke of Icard wants to take control of the Imperial Family, but if he sohow solves what I want

The Plan B? Is it possible?

I was thinking about that, and Lisa said with a smile.

Oh, little Lady.

Yes.

The duke will appoint a special doctor to you to see through to your health, as he is worried about little Ladys illness.

I smiled wider so I wouldnt look suspicious to Lisa.

Hmm? Really?

Yes, Ive already posted a notice. Im looking for soone to look after the little Lady. When they get hired, Im sure theyll take care of my little Lady every single day.

Then, a thought ca to my mind.

I almost sold my life for a few gifts.

Duke Icard is moving according to the original.

Maybe hes paying back this much because he doesnt want my gift to be in debt? Because Im going to die anyway, and he feels sorry for , is that what it is?

Its similar to giving a fine hand before you catch a cow you used to raise

Well thank you very much. Though why dont you pick a woman for ? I asked with a solemn face.

Its a little difficult for a male doctor since Id be embarrassed to talk about my symptoms.

Ill tell him about it, then.

Please, Im scared to be treated by adult n, like father.

Oh, usually the opposite. Lisa laughed as if she were having fun.

Even children who are not afraid of other adults are afraid of the Duke. I guess Laria is not scared of his unique bright look?

Hes handso anyway, so its okay.

I told her everything.

Then, I smiled brightly at Lisa.
