Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 12 12. The Heir to the Family

Lycia pressed her swollen temples. She had been sitting here listening to her father, Duke Michaud, for three hours.

On the goddess' birthday two and a half months later, she will accept the title successor conferring ceremony.

Michelle began to tell the history of the Campbell family from the beginning of the establishment of the Thorn Empire.

The father didn't seem to be sad because of his son's escape. He had been telling Licia the family history rationally and seriously.

'It's like my brother doesn't exist. '

The person sitting in front of her, whom she called her father, had only about 20.00% of her favorability.

And after she yawned for the first time, her favorability dropped to 15.00%.

But she has long since given up any emotional need for her parents, so she can only think about how she will go to the college by herself tomorrow, and how she will go down the block by herself.

"Licia, I don't want to talk about your brother anymore. The reason why His Majesty did not punish the family is because our family has not made any mistakes in the long 530 years. So, remember, before doing anything , think about your family." Duke Mixiu deliberately put on a tired look, and waved to Licia. "Come help me tidy up my collar, I have to go to the barracks in the afternoon."

Licia had never been close to her parents, so she walked over in a daze.

"Licia, you are more promising than your sister and brother, and you will inherit our family business in the future."

She didn't know how to adjust the collar, so she reached out and patted Mi Xiu's shoulders and collar twice like a whisk.

"Thank you for your trust." Licia could only say this because of lack of experience in communicating with serious parents.

The awkward conversation would have continued if Ashe hadn't burst in.

"Father! You made Licia your heir!" she burst into tears. "Just because I have no heraldic power, I am a cripple."

Then she suddenly saw Licia standing there, and immediately stopped crying.

"Me." Licia bowed her head and walked to the door. "Then, father, I'll go to my mother's place to accompany her first."

Ashe still held a handkerchief in her hand, and she also felt utterly embarrassed. She had never been short in front of Licia, and she had always acted indifferent to the fact that she didn't have the power of heraldry.

"You don't have to disturb your mother, you can go out for a stroll, as the successor, you should not just stay in the boudoir like before, but also go to see the world." Mi Xiu is actually afraid that Licia is now In the past, it would cause the wife's displeasure, which would make her aware of any problems.

"Okay." Licia was worrying that she had no reason to go out. Although it was getting late, if she took a carriage to Lanlan Street, she could take a stroll before the curfew and then go home.

She went out with a maid and a manservant.

The upper block, Croatia Street, is the closest to Sarran Street, but most of the people who come here are men, because it sells weapons, pipes and books.

In the Empire of Thorns, like all feudal countries, most women did not have the opportunity to study.

Everyone tells them that they don't need to study, so their whole life is to marry. Even women with the power of heraldry, there are few who can really love these things.

"Hello, please pass me the silver sword blessed with the wolf's head coat of arms." Licia remembered that during the afternoon drill, many people had their own weapons.

"Well, let me see. It's a lady!" A tall, thin old man with round glasses stretched out his withered hand, and handed her a sword with a wolf's head carved on the scabbard. "This sword is too heavy and may not be suitable for you."

Lycia handed the sword to the footman next to her. "If there is anything suitable for me, please bring it to me, but I need this too."

The old man shook his head, he didn't even try to pull out the sword, and immediately decided to buy it. It must be another noble lady who came out to buy gifts for his father and brother.

"Soft whip, take a look, it can be used as a weapon or tied to your wrist."

Licia took it and threw it into the air, creating a gust of wind that overturned the potted plants placed on both sides of the road ahead. The male servant hurried over to discuss compensation with the sheriff who was running beside him.

"You have the power of the coat of arms?" It was only at this time that Li Kewei looked at Licia squarely.

'My heraldry power can actually operate weapons, just like that with a wave. 'Actually, Licia herself wondered, she used to be Miss Jiao who couldn't even lift a watermelon.

"Yes, sir. So is there any more convenient weapon?" Licia pretended to be unfathomable, and put the whip back into the hands of Boss Covey.

"The undead thorns of the temple." He activated the power of the coat of arms, and carefully observed the breath of coat of arms distributed in Licia's body.

In Ruijin's painting book, her heraldry power appears on the thorns.

"Undead thorns?" She heard for the first time that thorns can also be used as weapons.

"It won't wither." Li Kewei nodded. "Wait a moment." After finishing speaking, he walked into the inner room.

Licia asked the maid to look at the time. It was three hours before the curfew, and it would take about three or ten minutes to go home from here.

She just found one of the most famous weapons shops to have a look around, but she didn't know that the shop owner was very busy, and even dragged her to try weapons repeatedly.

"You try this." He handed Lizia a brown and black thorn stick. There was no place for her hand on it. Lizia didn't know how to hold it, it was full of thorns.

"Do you have gloves?" Licia asked sincerely.

"You don't need gloves. The thorns won't hurt your delicate skin. They are only lethal when they are waved." Card Covey handed Lizia his hands.

The touch was indeed soft, and after Licia held it firmly, she lightly swung it towards the ground.

The power is not stronger.

The brambles were ugly, and Licia shook her head. "Just give me a soft whip."

Li Kewei said regretfully: "You must be more suitable for thorns, believe me. My quality is too poor, you can get used to it first, and then find better thorns later."

"Okay then, pack up both weapons, and pick a box that looks better and is more portable." Licia agreed perfunctorily, not forgetting to explain the packaging to the shopkeeper.

She can no longer waste time here.

But how to go to Lan Lan Street alone, Licia has been shopping for an hour, and still can't figure out a way.

"Marian, I need to go to the liquor store alone to buy some gifts for my school friends. You are waiting for me in the carriage." Dorado Wine Store is on the way to the Lane Street, and Licia casually edited for a reason.

"Miss, I can accompany you there." With a 50.00% favorability score on the maid's head, Licia unscrupulously rejected her.

"No, Marianne, your clothes, everyone can recognize the servants of the Campbell family at a glance, and the family crest is embroidered on your back. Just happened to our family, so we should act more low-key." Licia Randomly made up a reason.

The young maid, Marianne, was convinced, and she bowed her head obediently. "I'll be here waiting for you."

Licia had already started walking towards the wine.

He was still negotiating with the sheriff about reparations when he passed the valet.
