Because She Had A Time Limit, She Became The Villain’s Daughter-in-law Chapter 46

Everyone in the room had already figured out the situation.

Laria is so nice that she wont get angry properly, and its hard for us to treat Larias relatives recklessly.

Th-that

Karen stuttered, her face pale.

Duke Icard said, stirring his hair in an irritated voice, You can be taken to the dungeons, or you can quietly give us back the Tears of the Spring Leaf. Morand, take a look at it just in case.

Yes, sire.

I didnt know that Morand, the butler, was an expert in jewelry up until this incident.

Karens trembling hand untied the necklace that was, of course, the genuine Tears of Spring Leaf, and was kicked out from the Duchy.

However, there was sothing Evan and Duke Icard didnt notice. She went out without even finding out the fake Tears of Spring Leaf that she bought. Obviously, she couldnt have said, Then, give back my necklace or else because she would really be put in jail.

The Icards had never lived a deficient life, so they did not even think about the whereabouts of the fake one.

Nevertheless, for soone like Karen, that must have been almost all her wealth. Maybe, even her house was mortgaged. She ca all the way here but was chased away without getting a single di, thinking it was her turn to hit the jackpot.

Yet, here cos my peak

Ah

I bowed my head looking devastated.

I I really thought she cared for because she was my relative.

I didnt say anything because I knew you were glad.

Evan spoke bluntly.

In fact, it is quite common to et swindlers even among blood relatives. Especially, when you never heard from them before, and they suddenly appear in front of you out of nowhere when youre successful.

It seed that Duke Icard also had noticed Karens intention from the mont she appeared, although he didnt say anything out of consideration for .

Im sigh

I said with a sigh.

Father, I didnt have any relatives who were nice to even in tis I was in need. From now on, Ill disregard anyone who cos and says that they are my relatives and sends them back.

Laria.

I think Ive beena little hurt by this.

There was silence in the drawing-room for a mont. Even Morand peered at with a pitiful expression and murmured.

Thats how you grow up, Princess

Now, I could say, I dont want to et you because there was a case like this, to any future relatives who would flock around like flies in the future. Duke Icard would kick them out without too much guilt, too, if I act like that.

Its all right.

Then, Duke Icard put his hand on my head and continued.

You told . You are happier here than in County Rostry. So, dont dwell too much on blood ties.

Yes?

Thats right, Laria, Evan joined in with a determined look.

So, dont be so lancholic.

I was slightly surprised to see his red eyes filled with sincerity as he continued,

Ill be a much better family than all your relatives combined.

Well I didnt expect this reaction.

As much as they hurt you, Ill do it even better.

Frankly, I thought it was natural for Karen to be thrown out like that. In common sense, who was my true family? Everyone was just trying to use .

The sa goes for Duke Icard, of course.

At least for , youre a much more precious family than blood ties. Dont worry about this anymore.

Nonetheless, I strangely felt sothing after hearing Evans words.

What the hell

A corner of my heart tickled at his unexpected warm words.

Did I feel touched?

While I was standing in a daze, Duke Icard sighed and opened his mouth again.

You must be very upset. You dont look well.

You even have to leave us to go to the Villa

Saying so, Evan held my hand with regret.

On your way out, Ill fill your carriage up so that you wont feel lonely. Even though it cant fill in your familys place, it would still be comforting.

Thank you, Evan

It was a pretty good ending.

I will be given more gifts, Duke Icard had to look at my face and not be swept away by the truth of my relatives, and Lisa got to take five days off.

And

Oh, my God, its expensive even if its a fake! Scratches can be cleaned in just a few days. God, I love it!

Karens fake necklace went back to Serena. It was a reward for acting very well according to the script I had written from beginning to end.

On the day I left, a few wagons filled with my luggage were attached to the procession.

Marcel also ca from the temple that day to bless before I left. All the staff of the Duchy exclaid, seeing Marcel, who had sparkling silver hair and gentle black eyes.

Goodness, I feel purified just by looking at him.

He looks so noble.

As a matter of fact, hes a fraud.

Everyone, thank you. I still lack much.

Oh, you dont speak the Imperial language?

Marcel nodded at Serenas naive question.

I studied abroad for a long ti, in Carovantes.

His words stirred everyone up one more ti.

Oh you are a great priest.

I noticed the reason why Marcel was posing as a priest. He had such a proud look on his face, receiving such praises.

You fraudster who likes to be recognized

Anyway, Marcel blessed , and once again, the prickly pain spread all over my body

I frowned.

As expected, my body doesnt fit the blessing.

Marcel stepped back and smiled, and I bowed gracefully to him before asking, Will you co to Borotna from ti to ti?

Uh Thats a little far

You promised.

At my words, he nodded imdiately when I said that, handing over an envelope containing donations.

Yes, of course, I will go there from ti to ti to bless you, Princess.

Did he forget to pretend that he doesnt speak the Imperial Language in front of the envelope?

Half of his speech was supposed to be swallowed by Marcel.

Ill send you letters asking about theology. Please answer back, too.

I wonder why my body reacts this way to the blessings.

I understand.

Marcel nodded with a pleased look. After claiming that his schedule was full, he went back to the temple right away without seeing my departure.

Laria.

As soon as he left, Evan, who was watching all this, spoke.

A priest cant get married.

Huh?

Of course, won shouldnt be too close without reason.

I know, but why are you saying all this all of a sudden?

Just wanted you to know that.

Right.

I smirked and got ready to leave in earnest.

The carriage I rode was so luxurious that it was large, but it was designed so that only two people could ride it. Thats why Lisa and Serena fought for a long ti for the last seat in the carriage.

Eventually, Serena won. Because as soon as she looked at the servants, after shooting tears, they all glanced at her sympathetically. Having seen it, Morand muttered, I cant increase the number of victims anymore and forced to assign Serena to my carriage.

When she first ca to the Dukes mansion, Serena once asked Morand if she could date anyone, and the result was this much effect on other employees. He didnt want any more issues to arise.

On the other hand, Evan grabbed and kept telling . Laria, you are my wife. Even though we are young, okay?

Mnh, I know.

Ill be there often.

How long does it take to go back and forth? Its a waste of ti, so please refrain from doing it so often.

You dont have to be so considerate of , Laria.

I seriously thought for a mont that I should tell Sven to cut off the bridge on the road to Borotna.

Duke Icard, who stood silently with his arms crossed, said coolly.

If soone tries to boss you around or has any tyrannical behavior in the social circles in Borotna, just write to no matter what.

Pardon?

Innocent and soft-hearted people like you are a perfect target of society.

If people from Borotna dont want to play with , will you send friends?

If you dont get along, Ill cut off all the local money inco.

Ah as expected of the ultimate villain to be able to cut off the local economic flows at once!

You can buy friendship with money.

.

Is this what an adult really should say to a child? I guess Evans emotions were not unstable for nothing

See you soon.

Evan said, holding my hand tight until I went in the wagon.

Ill be there at your party.

Okay.

Stay healthy.

Okay, you well, stay true to your duty.

I added firmly, indirectly telling him not to visit for no reason.

Youve got a lot of succession classes, and you also need to train for swordsmanship.

Then, what will you do for ?

Complint you?

I answered, even though it sounded like too little reward. Fortunately, Evan didnt laugh at my words.

Ill do my best, Laria.

Unexpectedly, Evan looked rather determined.

Serena, who was sitting leisurely in front of as if she didnt want to lose her seat to Lisa, glanced very worried at him.

In the end, we were able to set off only after Serena warned with a stern expression that if we delayed our departure even more, my fatigue would be very severe.
