A day at the Duke’s house usually went like this: she got up, did a little work, and had so luxury. Then, at night, she went to bed with Lucerne. The next day, she again tasted a different kind of luxury.
If Elisha had been soone who was tempted and could be deceived with money, she would have already been pickled by the Cartier family. And she would have done everything in her power to impress and gain Lucerne’s favor, which could be said to be the source of Elisha’s power.
But now Elisha knew that it was all useless.
The patriarch took his ti choosing art. The auction employees were standing around like sculptures, but no one paid them any attention.
“Elisha.”
Gaju called Elisha.
“I received a call from Carola’s parents’ house.”
“What did you say?”
“It appears that rumors have spread throughout the capital that Carola is ntally ill and had committed adultery. So her mother asked for Carola to be sent to her parents’ house after granting her a divorce. She is willing to apologize in any way possible.”
The only flow that no one in power can stop: A rumor.
After Carola’s incident broke out, Lucerne politely asked the head of the family:
‘Wouldn’t it be better to organize all the witnesses?’
After a mont’s reflection, the Head said to just leave it alone and didn’t utter another word. Lucerne later told Elisha about it. ‘Gaju’s personality has beco a lot harsher.’
“She wouldn’t have even thought to apologize if she knew what Carola did. It is such a big sin,”
Elisha noted calmly.
“They started off with that premise. She would give the right to supply so dicinal herbs that Full Moon monopolizes.”
“So?”
“I want to know your opinion. How should I deal with it?”
Lucerne looked at the head of the family with a blatant cynicism.
“Is that right to supply a herb more important than the honor of my late grandmother? Carola defiled her crystal coffin. From what I heard, it’s not just once or twice.”
“Don’t speak of your grandmother lightly,”
The lord gently scolded Lucerne.
“Oh, of course,”
Lucerne said coldly.
“Then what about the honor of the family head who is alive and well? If Carola is alive, my grandfather will be a fool.”
As they bared their teeth to each other, Elisha felt like she was sitting between two wild beasts.
“Lucerne, I asked for Elisha’s will. Carola is a crazy woman. So she tried to use Zain to harm her. If she returns Carola to her parents’ ho, you too must receive her reward. The right to supply dicinal herbs will bring you a huge amount of money. If her husband wants to receive the property, you may accept it. It is up to you two to decide how to distribute the property.”
Elisha looked at the patriarch blankly. She was about to say sothing but closed her mouth.
“What is it, Elisha?”
“No. The head of the family must have deep intentions for . I don’t want to disturb you with a hasty opinion.”
“Go ahead and tell .”
“Uh… … . If Carola did wrong, shouldn’t she make her ands at her own ho? Carola must have signed a marriage contract at the ti of her wedding. So why should we worry about whether or not to send Carola back?”
“… … .”
“The people of the Cartier family are now Carola’s family.”
Elisha put her hand to her mouth. She spoke nonchalantly and softly.
“To forgive or not to forgive. Isn’t that up to you to decide? It’s strange. Why do they want to make a deal as if they have the upper hand?”
That was truly a Cartier-like judgnt and thought. Lucerne smiled.
“Now that I think about it, there’s sothing the lord always says that I like: ‘Your spouse is at your level.’ That’s what I an.”
It was a noble taphor for Lucerne. The patriarch looked at Elisha. Should he be satisfied? He wondered montarily whether he should start by responding to Lucerne’s words. But as always, he decided to be generous with Elisha.
“Elisha may take whatever she wants from here today. Being clever should be rewarded.”
“Finally one thing that makes sense,”
Lucerne said lightly. Elisha slightly bowed her head to express her gratitude.
