Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Titles So Nurous They Scare You to Death
Celia’s lips twitched as she could only say, “It’s to be expected, I hope Major General will continue to pay such close attention to Lin Fu. As her classmate, I can only be happy for her.”
“Thank you for your understanding, Duke. Please co in.”
“Thank you!”
Celia strained to straighten her back, embracing the resolve and courage of going into battle.
The fact that the butler had just addressed her as Duke had made everything clear—her and Lance’s scheming had all been under Major General Fu Xing’s watchful eye.
He knew everything.
He knew her purpose as well.
Celia had only been inside for ten minutes before she left quietly without a trace, with no one knowing what they had discussed.
****
In the morning, after eating at the restaurant, Lin Fu and Xu Jinglan ca out just in ti to see everyone gathered in front of the screen, loudly discussing sothing.
As they approached, they saw only one line of text on the screen.
[Galaxy Empire Notification: Duke of Glirward passed away last night, let us mourn deeply, wishing the Duke a peaceful journey. As one of the Seven Guardian Dukes of the Galaxy Empire, the Duke of Glirward has made outstanding contributions to the Empire’s politics, military, and culture. Starting today, the Empire and foreign embassies will lower flags to half-mast in mourning.]
[Imperial Decree of His Majesty, Emperor of the Galaxy Empire: Effective imdiately, Celia Glivard becos the youngest Duchess of the Galaxy Empire and the Guardian of the Glehuward Star System, the Empire’s Honorary Admiral…]
The long list of titles left people dizzy, Lin Fu had never realized that inheriting a dukedom ca with so many titles, even an Honorary Admiral title.
Did that an Fu Xing had another Admiral’s honorary rank?
Xu Jinglan muttered to herself, “Celia’s father has died? So suddenly?”
“Yes, and now she’s a Duchess. Look at all those titles, any one of them is frightening; she’ll definitely be the boss at school now, who would dare to ss with her!”
However, Lin Fu felt that there was definitely more to it.
This was a Guardian Duke, disappearing without a trace, without detailed reports or any ntion of a morial service, funeral plans, etc.
It was too sloppy.
Indeed, the surrounding people also criticized how lackluster the notification was, and so even said this generation’s Duke of Glirward was extraordinarily diocre, covering everything under the veneer of “outstanding performance.”
A total bluff!
Among the Seven Guardian Dukes, who wouldn’t have their accomplishnts elaborately described in a lengthy docunt? Otherwise, they wouldn’t earn nurous people’s respect and support.
“This Duke didn’t have many accomplishnts; no wonder he seized his position through dishonorable ans originally.”
“Co on, spill so noble secrets.”
Just then, a cold voice behind them said, “The biggest accomplishnt of that old man was aiding Joseph V in a coup, and that’s sothing you can’t openly brag about.”
The voice wasn’t loud, but the implication chilled to the bone.
The people who had been enthusiastically discussing suddenly went silent, turning around in fright to see who had spoken.
Finding it was Lin Fu, they stopped panicking.
It seed normal, whatever she said.
Xu Jinglan, usually so calm, was startled and quickly dragged Lin Fu out to Elbert’s exclusive resting area.
Lin Fu remained silent throughout, simply letting Xu Jinglan pull her along.
“What’s wrong?” Ivan asked, puzzled.
Xu Jinglan explained what had happened, and Ivan was both amused and bewildered.
“Lin Fu, do you really dislike Celia’s father?”
“I don’t know.”
Lin Fu shook her head. She had just blurted out what ca to her mind in that mont.
“Strange.”
Lin Fu felt uneasy, feeling as if she had forgotten sothing important, even distracted during the opening ceremony and her team’s entry. Fortunately, they didn’t have to do anything during the opening ceremony, rely carrying the school flag and walking a lap around the venue after registering the school’s na.
What Lin Fu didn’t know was that a certain person was furious.
Because of the opening ceremony, Fu Xing also attended.
As Lin Fu made her round, she even passed by Fu Xing.
But she didn’t glance at him once.
Completely ignored.
