Because She Had A Time Limit, She Became The Villain’s Daughter-in-law Chapter 88

If it was her mother, she was the person who died on a remote island after getting deposed. Of course, if it was a thing of the dead, it was sothing that had to be kept secret. If Elanie found out that she had reclaid the posthumous items of her biological mother, the Emperor would pay homage.

Ronald thought it was expensive, so he stole it and put it up for auction.

I see

The Imperial Familys situation had a story that was like a drama in its own right.

Originally, the Emperor and the Empress had a beautiful and intelligent daughter, Elanie. And, as the days went by, the Emperor began to rot the Empress insides in various ways To a certain extent, one day, a woman suddenly ca into the palace holding a boys hand and she said, This child is actually your child.

It turned out that the boy who was one year younger than Elanie, Ronald, was the emperors illegitimate child. When the Empress learned of this, she jumped and said that she could never forgive his illegitimate child.

Of course, the Emperor shalessly turned the Empress into an exhausted and rciless woman. The Empress said, I hate seeing that persons face, I would rather live alone, but the only way to live alone is if that person dies.

One day, she finally strangled the Emperor.

Thus, the Empress was deposed on the pretext of trying to assassinate the Emperor. She passed away not long after she was deposed.

After that, Ronalds mother ascended to the position of Empress imdiately, though she was now suffering from ill health.

Ronald was recognized as the Prince, but in any case, his line of succession was pushed back to the ruthless Elanie. However, now that the Emperor was so healthy and very young, Elanie could ascend to the throne in a very distant future.

Still, she was always called the future of the Imperial Family, and she was clever and good at dealings, so she was always favored by the emperor.

The secret you will protect it, right?

Yes.

I nodded my head softly. I was also a little sorry.

If I had known that there was such a situation, I wouldnt have increased the price six tis without conscience.

I should have stopped about five and a half tis.

Then next ti I see you, I will deliver the music box. I didnt bring it today.

Yes, thats fine. Are you attending the masquerade by any chance?

Yes, I am planning to attend.

Then, will you deliver it to ?

Elanie spoke with a desperate expression.

Because His Majesty always watches over my every move.

Yes, then I will secretly deliver it to you.

Yes, my mask is going to be a white butterfly.

When I politely replied that I would, Elanie let out a sigh of relief.

Im really glad.

Yes?

Because I t you by chance in Avonitar. If we hadnt even t in a relationship back then, I would have been much more nervous to ask for it.

Yes

We are destined.

Well, thats

You should pay for this in advance. Ill give it to you right now in cash.

It seems like a fateful encounter. I look forward to your kind cooperation.

Right?

Elanie even showed the excitent by writing a check right away. At that, I accepted the check and thought for a mont. Well, if she didnt look at anything and gave money right away, what would she get?

Trust . I will take responsibility for delivery.

My passion, motivation, and loyalty to shipping?

Seeing you make up excuses for necklaces puts my mind at ease. Unlike the appearance that looks like you would be hollow if stabbed, youre sharp.

Now, my business was over.

Thank you. Well, Im going to

When I was going to move my hips up because I wanted to get up quickly.

Laria.

Yes.

Im free, so can we talk a little bit more?

Was I crazy? No matter how bored I was, I had no intention of chatting with the husbands future wife.

Im sorry, Princess. Im not good at speaking, so I wont be a good conversation partner.

What? So, shall we play chess? If you dont want to talk.

It was a mont when I was about to refuse unconditionally.

Lets bet. Two gold, how about it?

Ill do it.

And so, a chessboard was laid out in front of us.

Laria I dont know what to think.

Standing in front of the chessboard, Elanie moved her pawn and sighed slightly.

I heard Count Rostri was quite a playboy.

WellWhy are we suddenly talking about my father here?

Yes Thats right.

Well, I just I just wanted to say that there was a certain bond between that fact.

It was very difficult to answer. If I cooperated here, I would be insulting the Emperor. However, I seed to know what Elanie was talking about.

Ah, thats why

Suddenly, the incident of the founding festival six years ago passed by.

I like him betterthan my crazy father. I didnt think so at all. Im serious.

When I said that, I rembered Elanie looking at with a strange expression.

They say when the Duchess dies, Duke Icards office stays lit all night no matter what. Its a famous story in the Empire.

As I moved the knight, she uttered with a rather sad face.

Even though he may be a little an to others, I wish I had a father with that kind of pure heart.

Well Evan wouldnt think so.

I gazed at the chessboard and answered thoughtfully.

But, I think I know what youre talking about.

So, it was the face of a bird of a feather who had a naughty father. The Emperor was a typical fool who liked alcohol and won, and caused accidents. Well, him running the country is just fine, but I could never see him as a monarch.

He liked people who curried favor with him at a drinking party, and his wons problem is constantly on the rise. In other words, it was a massive thing for Duke Icard, who was not good at drinking, to be in his current position. In many ways, the emperor was a disliked person.

Even if its not Elanies situation, for example

[ It doesnt feel good to be asked to develop a mine that may or may not co out. ]

By now, Duke Icard must be under unwanted pressure from the Emperor.

As for Duke Icard, when it ca to Matilda, he would not back down and will continue to refuse

The longer he shows his dislike, the longer the distance between him and the Emperor would grow. The Emperor was a person who kept grudges, after all, so once he started to move away from him, he would start to bully Duke Icard in secret. It wasnt for nothing that Elanie was secretly looking for her mothers belongings.

I an Whats to care about soone who will kill ? I am not a person with two lives.

I played chess with Elanie and thought quietly.

Still, since I possessed this body, its all right I said I lived twice.

Almost all of my soul seed to be focused on the audience between Duke Icard and the Emperor.

So, I Ah, its a bit embarrassing, but I thought that it might be a good fit for you

Elanie seed to have more to say but dropped it as I answered dryly. Even though I was playing chess while thinking of others, it was difficult to concentrate on the conversation.

Theres a high probability that it will pop out in two months, but it has nothing to do with .

My thoughts went straight ahead.

Although thats two months from now.

Once I thought of Duke Icard, I realized that I had been worried about him all along.

Hes the one who will kill soon! What did you get to worry about?

I clenched my skirt.

Actually, I got a lot

After my rationalization was over in an instant, I started coughing.

Cough!

Laria?

Cough, coughcooouugghh!

Laria!

Elanie, who had seen coughing out of breath in Avonitar, was startled and grabbed my shoulder.

Hurry up, call the royal doctor

No.

I quickly grabbed Elanies arm and said,

Its not urgent but I have to go to my doctor. My doctor knows best.

Is that so? Then, quickly call the carriage

But I ca with fatherCough, cough, cough!

Father? Duke Icard?

I dont think its urgent anywayCough!First of all, Father should return to the Dukes residence with as soon as possible.Cough!

I get it! Dont die, Laria!

Elanie frantically called her handmaid.
