Episode 155

“I can see that there are many thoughts in your head again. There are so many achievements you've made so far, I can't do anything about it. When I see other guys staring at me with possessed eyes, I wonder where I should put this.”

“…….”

“Now, without my knowledge, I have doubts about the family head and the party.”

“…….”

“Strangely, I'm not as angry now as I used to be. Right?”

“Lucerne.”

“That doesn't mean my doubts about you are gone.”

Elisha was nervous. Lucerne stared at her and smiled at her peek.

“Try on a necklace. I have to buy yours.”

“…… Why? The head of the family buys it for you.”

“Now don't take anything from others. It makes me jealous that the head of household is doing that.”

“…….”

Elisha thought his whims were very difficult.

“And.”

Lucerne continued.

“The wedding anniversary is approaching.”

Elisha blinked her eyes.

“When did you become a romanticist?”

“It depends on the woman.”

“…… You look strange today.”

Lucerne was unconcerned.

'Maybe between us……. Did I gain any trust?'

Elisha couldn't help but think about that for a moment.

“Why are you being nice to me all of a sudden?”

“I am good to myself. Elisha.”

“Iknow, right. You are very kind when it comes to dealing with your possessions.”

Elisha whispered softly. She didn't mean to do something she didn't want to do. Lucerne didn't even move.

“Okay. I'm pampering my property, so take your pick.”

Elisha wanted to tilt her head. She lifted her hair. Lucerne himself put her black pearl necklace around Elisha's neck. It was a relatively simple and elegant item, and it fit Elisha's white coat as if it were attached to her neck.

“How about it?”

Elisha looked back at him as he touched her neck. Her beautiful wavy blonde hair hung down to the sides of her ears. Lucerne stared at Elisha for a few seconds. One tempo late reply came back.

“It's pretty. It always is in my eyes.”

“…….”

Elisha's white cheeks turned red. She lowered her eyes and went grimly through her mind. She tried to ignore the premonition.

'Why are you looking at me like this?'

Maybe Elisha moved his heart by making a contribution? Lucerne is burning. She was looking at her with her eyes, seeing something she craved. But the way she touched the nape of her neck with her thumb was very delicate.

“Why are you like this, not like you.”

“It is peaceful.”

“Ah……. In your life……. Are there days like that?”

Lucerne's hand rode into his back. She moved like scratching and pressed oddly. Elisha put a hand on his wrist.

“No, not now.”

But even today he did not allow himself to be rejected.

“Ah!”

Elisha's refusing hand fell. Lucerne's other hand was on Elisha's thigh. It's because of her pressing down on the middle of her underwear.

“Huh…….”

At the same time, Lucerne gently bit Elisha's ear.

“I know.”

Lucerne said with a tum.

“Because you meet women well, days like this come.”

“…….”

Lucerne withdrew her hand. Only then was Elisha able to properly look into his eyes.

“I want to hold you tight.”

“…….”

“What if I squeeze too hard and want to run away? Even if I have any doubts, I will not interrogate. And try to tighten it gently once.”

“…… What am i

“If you have something to say to me, say it. Elisha.”

Elisha's body hardened very finely.

'Could he have noticed what he asked Ilione for?'

But it couldn't be.

The route Elisha requested. Even if information about that route was leaked, it would take some time. No matter how great he was, he couldn't have been caught so quickly. Lucerne has a great sense, so I guess I'll just try it once.

“What do you mean? Should I sing a serenade too?”

Elisha said calmly. The slightest bit of sarcasm was implied under the guise of a joke. Lucerne raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

“That is good. Do it at night naked. Oh You'd better wear jewelry.”

“…… Lucerne.”

Lucerne's expression was that she was happy just imagining it. Elisha rolled her eyes.

“…… What do you really want? I am not used to this.”

“Don't do anything suspicious. Safely manage my collateral. Listen well.”

“…….”

“Elisha, that's all I need.”

Lucerne touched her neckline with satisfaction.

“Can you do better in the future?”

Elisha gave her a small nod. As far as his possessions go, that was the easiest thing to do. Elisha thought, ignoring the strange feelings that passed by.

“Okay.”

Lucerne said.

“Don't do anything you will regret.”

Lucerne looked into Elisha's eyes and whispered. Her eyes were filled with a calmly hidden possessive desire.

Elisha didn't know why those words sounded like a strangely ominous warning.

*​ *​ *​

While spending the summer at the Duchess of Cartier. The head of the family gave me money without regret. Beans subtly fell on Elisha as well.

'The property has meaning only when it is safely divorced.'

Elisha thought indifferently.

If Lucerne claims a large alimony because her contract is disqualified, all of her property will be taken away. Elisha flipped her hair.

Right now, in front of Elisha was Mimosa, sweaty and stinking of her. Elisha sat down at her table and slowly prepared the tea. And she slowly opened her mouth.

“How are you, Mimosa? Is the stable work worth it?”

“It's too hard. Should I go this far?”

“You know the head of the household, right? Mimosa. Your life and Pansy's lives are at stake. I tell you several times that there must be a justification for me to bring you.”

Elisha responded leisurely.

'I can't do laundry. That's lowly collateral, that's what bitches do. When the hell does he take it out?'

'This. If it's that hard, I'll give you another job.'

Not long ago, Mimosa complained to Elisha that she couldn't work at the laundry. Elisha then often took her out of her laundry. That's how Mimosa received was a stable cleaning job.

Two out of three times Elisha had her Mimosa do the grueling job of cleaning the stables. But one time she just sent me back without letting me do anything.

'Compared to what I've been through, it's lenient. It must be a celebration to be treated as a human being, even if the meal is served right?'

Elisha suddenly remembered something from her previous life. Mimosa also had many old bad ties. The most representative of these is…….

'Mimosa. This bitch seduced Jacob. It's a bitch that bullies Carola, so I have to give it my life!'

In her past life, when Elisha had just started working for Jacob. Then one day Carola came in with her attendants and attacked her Elisha and poured her face with an unknown liquid. It's some kind of magic poison, she said.

The poison burned one of Elisha's cheeks and left a burn scar.

'Carola. Do not worry. I scolded this bitch!'

At the time, it was mimosa that splashed the liquid on Elisha's face. Even then, he kicked Elisha several times as she rolled on the floor of the car in pain.

'Although I can make Mimosa's face the same. Isn't that worth it?'

Perhaps Mimosa would thank Elisha if she knew what had happened in her past life. She says that Elisha doesn't retaliate more severely.

After teasing her mimosa, it didn't matter if she exploded. She'll just have to use it as an excuse if Mimosa does her crap.

However, she said that human psychology is truly strange. She's a mimosa. She's been acting like she's loyal lately. She noticed Elisha's notice and asked for information she hadn't even asked.

It was because Mimosa and her pansy were slowly recovering their position in the ducal family to the extent that they could roam freely.

“I have something to report. Pansy is still looking for Carola. Besides, where did she get the money from? She must have coaxed the knight guarding Carola with gold coins. She seems to secretly bring Carola her own food too……. Anyway, pansy is weird these days. It's because her eyes are blank as if she's lost her mind.”

Mimosa looked at her and said.

“Shall we take a closer look?”

Elisha hesitated at those words. Soon she shook her head.

“Leave it. Do nothing.”

“Yes?”

“Fans must be having a hard time these days. She has to let her breathe like that.”

“…….”

Elisha ignored Mimosa's bewildered look on her face, and she tipped the teacup.

The taste of rose tea, the pride of the Duke, was excellent.

'Suddenly, Carola's patience must have reached a critical point.'

By now, Carola must have been going mad with her resentment.

'And it looks like Carola's parents are still trying to negotiate.'

Besides, Jacob will be back soon. I've heard Jacob say how many times she asked if Carola was still alive.

Bad ingredients were provided. Herbal Monopoly. Carola, still barely sane. And Jacob, who is a little angry at Carola.

For Jacob, Carola was her third wife. Her first wife took her before she came of age and she died unluckily. Her second wife also did not last long.

To a man like Jacob, women were expendable anyway. But she, Carola, was a little different. They were also partners with the same purpose.

So Jacob could have persuaded her family head to release Carola. Then, the family head, who secretly coveted the right to supply medicinal herbs, has the justification to release Carola. Elisha could see what they were going to do.

'Carola, that woman is annoying. I hope she doesn't come out of it.'

Lucerne also said.

'It's a war now.'

At the same time, Rosaria's words came to mind.

'The best soldiers are not those who win wars. It is to block the source of the war.'

Elisha languidly turned over the bookshelf in front of her. It was a tactical book written by Rosaria. When she was in the capital, she met Rosaria a couple of times and she listened to this and that advice. Other than that, she regretted that she couldn't take more classes. But Rosaria will praise her. Elisha, for she was doing well in her teaching.
