Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 11 11. Escape

The flames in the fireplace were down to sparks, and Lizia sat next to Case, throwing a blanket over her knees.

Duke Michelle had already gone upstairs an hour ago, and now in the hall, there are only three maids and two siblings, Licia.

"How do you feel about college?" Case was still on his knees, and Licia had placed a blanket for him after the rest of the family had left.

"It's okay, it's about the same as I imagined." Licia stomped lightly. "Tell me about you, if the church condemned you tomorrow, what would you do?"

Case glanced at the maids standing next to him, they would not back down, they would stay here to watch him all night until someone from the church came to take him away tomorrow.

"Then I'll use the heraldry stone to turn the hall upside down." Case was still in the mood to joke, after all he didn't believe that the church would convict him after meeting His Majesty.

Nobles always have natural self-confidence and don't believe that they will be sanctioned under any circumstances.

After all, in the history of the Thorn Empire, the worst fate for nobles was to be exiled to the saline-alkali land near the Eye of the Dead Water.

"I have met the dean. She is the leader of the church, right?" Lycia only knew that people in the entire Thorn Empire believed in the Sun God, and the functions of the church had always been suppressed by the royal family and nobles, except for Dean Futes Pa.

"Yes, that's right." Case stopped talking, looked up at Licia, winked at her, and stretched out his fingers from under his robe, tapping the ground lightly.

Licia stood up from the chair knowingly, blocking part of the sight of the three maids.

"Go and rest, Ayin, you don't need to stay with me here." Case said while tying something around his sister's ankle.

"it is good."

One of the maids hurried forward, packed Licia's suitcase temporarily in the hall, and followed her upstairs.

Licia couldn't wait to go upstairs and return to her room.

Fortunately, she never liked to be served by others, so after she entered the room, the maid obediently took the door behind her.

Lycia hung the cloak on the rack, sat on the bed with her back to the door, untied the things Case had tied around her ankles, and stuffed them under the covers.

Then he walked to the dressing table, calmly changed into his pajamas, and locked the door behind him.

"Miss! Don't you need to wash up?" The maid didn't go far.

Licia deliberately answered her with a very hoarse voice. "No, let me go ma'am, I'll rest first and get up early tomorrow morning to wash up."

Licia turned off the luminous circle in the room, lit a candle cage, and placed it on the small table beside the bed.

Lie in the quilt.

It was a bag of things wrapped in kraft paper. Licia pinched it, but luckily it wasn't a small stone. If her brother gave her the stolen heraldry stone, she didn't know what to do.

It was a piece of rag that seemed to have a magic circle embroidered on it.

Another letter is for myself.

"Dear sister, I believe you must have pretended to go to sleep, then locked the door, and did not dare to open this letter until you were nestled in your comfortable bed. When you read this, I will leave you soon. The other side of the Eye of Dead Water is not a barren land, and the Eye of Dead Water is not the end of the world. The Thirteen Knights and the Sun Goddess are fake. I need to verify this to the world, because the message in the ocean shows that the Eye of Dead Water Those on the opposite side have mastered the method of getting close to it without being swallowed.

I may die on the way to seek the truth, but I am not afraid, we enjoy the love and support from the people of the empire, shouldn't we be responsible to the people?I'm just afraid that you'll be alone in this family, I'm just afraid of that. "

Lycia's tears had already covered the letter paper, and her vision was blurred.

"So, I'm going to try to survive.

One more thing, I can only ask you, please give the rags in the parcel to Mr. Flindoner, the publisher at No. 39, Lane Street, and forget about that place and stay away from this matter. "

Licia wiped away her tears. She put aside her reluctance for her brother for the time being, and began to plan in her mind how to go to Sail Lane Street in the lower district alone.

"Young Master is gone!" Soon, the drowsy maid noticed Case's sudden disappearance.

Duke Mixiu woke up from the dream, reached out to pick up the glasses beside the bed and put them on, showing a dejected face.

"The family is over," he said.

And Keith, the heir of the He family, got on the Yetian horse who came to meet him, and finally looked down at the castle.

*

After the heir committed a crime and ran away, Mi Xiu didn't dare to delay, so he changed into an official robe and went to the palace to plead guilty that night.

"Your Majesty." He knelt outside the palace all night until Emperor Chaman got up from his lover's bed.

He pleaded guilty articulately.

"You have a daughter." His Majesty said blankly.

"It's the daughter with the unique coat of arms." The emperor walked down the steps and patted Mishu's shoulder with wrinkled hands.

Mi Xiuyingyue smelt a bad smell.

"Yes, Your Majesty." He bowed his head.

"Very well, let her be the heir. As for the fugitive, I think Ai Qing can sever ties with him. The church is responsible for catching him."

Mi Xiu only dared to answer yes.

*

Licia didn't close her eyes all night. She began to think carefully from the fact that she could see the degree of sympathy and dislike, and thought of what Case said in the letter from the gray bird breaking into the banquet. She seemed to touch something vaguely. Things matter.

The things that the church concealed were related to the eyes of the dead water and the gray sparrow's funeral.

"You can still sleep." Ashe was already sitting at the breakfast table, her head resting on her mother.

"Our family is so busy with my brother, but you are like a dead pig." Ashe's words were full of hostility.

Licia glanced at the progress bar above her head, and she was surprised that it was actually one percent favorability.

Their mother, Lucica, looked haggard. She was silent, her eyes were glazed, her cheeks sunken.

Turning a deaf ear to the quarrel between the two sisters, the hand holding the ceramic teacup was trembling.

*

"What! Let A Yin be the heir of our family!" Lucica held her husband's hand, showing angry and unbelievable eyes.

"It's all your fault! No, it's not your fault! It's your unvirtuous, disgusting and dirty sister. If it weren't for her, my Ashe would not be unable to inherit the title. And my son, my Case , my poor Case, he ran away alone, and don't know how he is doing."

Mi Xiu held his wife's hands tightly. "Lucika, keep your voice down, we have no choice. We can only do this first. Licia is a soft-hearted girl. She is different from my sister. She was raised by us and will be obedient."
