Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 67

After listening to Licia's adventure, Dimitri fell into deep thought, then nodded. "I know the Black Pearl Exchange."

Of course Lycia knew he knew.

"I sent Troy there and photographed a dragon scale," Dimitri said.

At the moment they are on the carriage from Sufaluo to Seina City. The lord of Seina City has prepared several stronger carriages for the students of Thorn Academy, and they will take the carriage all the way back to Lantcos City.

"That's right," Troy said.

Licia was observing his expressions and movements, not at all unnatural.

Obviously, in front of Fudomi, Troy didn't have any psychological burden about fooling around with other girls in his arms.

'Even in the 21st century, men will feel that it is reasonable to go out to romantic occasions, not to mention this discriminatory world. ' thought Licia.

"So, the body of Black Pearl is a swamp, or mud. More importantly, if Black Pearl saved the bastard who was dying at that time, then the bastard should be around 20 years old now." Licia stopped continuing Thinking about these temporarily unchangeable things, she talked about her judgment.

"Then, Your Highness, if you want to find an illegitimate child, you should change your target... hiss." The carriage jolted violently.

"What's going on!" Troy opened the window on the carriage and looked down, the fake illegitimate son Lanier was falling to the ground covered in blood.

Lanier was carried into the carriage, and the carriage drove as usual.

"It probably sneaked out to follow us and eavesdrop on what we were talking about." Licia found a piece of cloth and held down Lanier's bloody knee.

"Lyon failed to watch him." Leon is the current lord of Sufaluo. After the judge returned last time, the city of Senna agreed to Dimitri's recommendation.

Fudomi used the moisture in the air to help Lanier clean the wound that had rubbed against the dirt.

"There are already rumors." Dimitri's train of thought was interrupted. "The accidents I encountered during this trip were all because the Sun Goddess didn't want me to inherit the throne."

"Very convincing." Troy laughed dryly.

Lycia patted Lanier's face. "Pretend to be asleep again, and we'll throw you out of the car immediately."

Throwing off the car, Lanier would only end up dead, and it would be even worse if he fell into the hands of the church. For the church, Lanier is better dead than alive.

The teenage boy slowly opened his eyes, pretending to have just woken up. "I just want to keep up with you, Sufaluo is too dangerous!"

The other four people in the carriage looked at him like idiots.

"Be honest, little boy. You're just eavesdropping. If you want to achieve big things, you can't rely on lies." Dimitri actually spoke in such a sincere tone.

"Am I the illegitimate son of His Majesty the Emperor!?" In fact, Lanier didn't even know his identity. He had lived in the church since he was a child.

Raised by a cunning street bishop, Lanier learned the ropes of cunning and is good at hiding himself.

The street bishop didn't know that little Lanier was a heraldic ability user until his death.

"I can become invisible, and I occasionally spew out flames recently!" Lanier looked at his palm. Although he had multiple fractures, he was very excited now.

"You dare not kill me, you hate the church." Lanier squinted his eyes, he thought he was quite smart.

"Oh, that's really good, it's Dragon Burn." Troy said blankly, it was all arranged by Dimitri, but he didn't expect this kid to believe it himself.

"You want to follow us to Lantcos City?" Dimitri asked.

Lanier's eyes were full of hope and ambition. "Brother Huang, I won't compete with you for the position, I just need to be a prince."

Licia almost laughed out loud.

Dimitri was serious. "Of course, you have royal blood, and I won't let you live outside."

Troy coughed twice and turned his head to look out the window.

"What you said is true?" Lanier endured the pain and was able to have such a long conversation, which made Licia very admired.

"I only have one younger sister, and it's okay to have another younger brother. I will find a way to give you what you deserve." Dimitri smiled kindly.

Lanier gritted his teeth and nodded. "Don't worry, I don't want to be the emperor, I can even help you a little."

Then Lanier couldn't hold it any longer, and he lay in the carriage without saying a word, just enduring the pain silently.

"I'll find you a doctor." Dimitri showed no pity or concern on his face.

"No, we're almost at Senna City, so I won't let people misunderstand that you hurt me." Lanier expressed his favor again.

Licia came to Seine City for the second time, and the last time she hurriedly rented a car and headed to Sufaluo, she didn't take a good look at this big city.

Senna is in a great location, it doesn't have much jungle around it, it's mostly fields and other towns, and a big port.

Therefore, it is less affected by the alien beasts, and its economy is very developed. It is known as one of the three major cities of the Thorn Empire.

At the same time, its administrative level is also very high, and the appointment and removal of officials in the surrounding towns are all decided by the Lord Sufaluo.

"His Royal Highness!" Sufaluo City Lord is an old man with graying temples, but in good spirits. He wears a tall top hat and leans on a cane.

"Duke Holland, please stay safe." Dimitri gave him a hand without waiting for the Lord of Seine to perform the complete set of etiquette.

Licia's attention was not here, she was looking at a woman wearing a black veil among the crowd who came to greet her.

She had seen it at the dinner party of the former Sufaluo city lord.This lady was so special and Licia was so impressed.

What was her name, Licia remembered being laughed at for having a boy's name, yes, Raphael.

Why is she here.

The lord of the city has already finished his courtesy with Dimitri.

"There is no need for a dinner, Duke Holland, we just need to rest for one night." Troy Dimitri declined the dinner invitation.

"Then a simple meal?" Duke Holland nodded.

On the way to the Lord's Castle.

"I knew you would come to me again!" Geese was brought to Licia.

After Licia found out that her bag was lost yesterday, she searched all over the place, and finally guessed through Troy's divination that the cloth bag should have been taken by Geese.

"Give it back to me." Licia spread her hands.

Keith pursed his lips and shook his head.

"You have to consider taking me with you, I won't hinder your studies." Keith pressed his stomach.

In front of other people, it was not easy for Licia to continue to argue with her.

There are so-called things related to her that Black Pearl gave her in the cloth bag.

Licia didn't want everyone to know about it. "Fine, you follow me, and then we'll talk after dinner."

Keith immediately sniffed and happily followed Licia.

"Aren't you good at divination? Did you see the woman in the black veil in front?" Licia was at the end of the line, and there was no one around.

"I see." Keith touched his blue veil. "Do you think I should wear a black one too?"

Licia froze for a moment, then sighed speechlessly. "I think this woman is a bit weird, can you see something?"

Geese immediately took out the compass excitedly. "Of course, but I have to come a little closer."

Licia sighed again. If he really took in an attendant, this Geese didn't look very reliable.

"Hmm..." Keith looked at the crazily spinning pointer and glanced at the sky.

"Are you sure it's, uh, the lady?"

Licia took a breath and asked in a low voice. "A man?"

Keith nodded.

As if suddenly aware of something, the person being discussed suddenly turned his head and smiled sideways at Licia.

Lycia climbed the steps and followed the crowd into the dining room.

"Why can't I go in!"

Turning around, I found Keith screaming.

"Put on your shoes, ma'am."

Lycia looked back at Keith, she was so sloppy.

"Take these two gold coins to buy a set of clothes and shoes, and eat by the way." Licia pointed to Gith's abdomen. "And don't lose my things,"

Keith covered his stomach, then took the gold coin, and approached Licia. "This city owner is a pervert, so be careful."

After speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

Although it is said that there will be no dinner party, it is just that there will be no dancing after the meal.

The dishes are rich and the scale is also very large.

"Licia, come here!" Caroline and Tata had already sat down, facing the seat of the Santo and Dimitri.

The city lord suddenly looked at Licia.

Licia, who received Gisty's points, watched with vigilance as the Santo's favorability rose sharply, and then stopped at 70.00%.

"Sit down." Caroline gave Licia a hand and brought her a glass of juice.

When Duke Holland was eating, he kept looking up at Licia.

It gave her the creeps.

"Your Highness, who is this beautiful lady?"

Licia didn't expect that Duke Holland would ask the question bluntly.

"Heir of the Campbell family, Miss Lycia." Dimitri frowned and toasted Holland with a glass of wine.

"Oh, from the Campbell family, the Pearl of the Empire? It is indeed the Pearl of the Empire." Holland raised his glass, waved it towards Licia, and clinked glasses with Dimitri.

Raphael stood up suddenly, walked in front of Holland, lowered his head, and said something unknown.

Holland laughed loudly, his hands were falling on Raphael's waist and stroking up and down.

"Raphael used to seduce the lord of Sufaluo City, but now he has come to seduce Hollander. Who doesn't know Lord Hollander, he likes any woman."

"No way, Rafael's father can't wait for her to seduce His Royal Highness, or His Majesty the Emperor."

Licia heard someone talking about Raphael again.

She was full of doubts. Isn't Raphael a man?

But after Raphael finished speaking in the past, Holland finally stopped staring at Licia.

Dimitri found Licia with his head down. He knew that Duke Holland was lustful, and he was also angry at his reckless eyes, but he had no position to criticize.

After dinner, Duke Holland left quickly, and Licia heard someone discussing that he went with Raphael.

"Licia!" Dimitri grabbed Licia in the crowd. "I have something to tell you."

After many days of inner struggle, Dimitri felt that his love for Licia had reached a level that could be expressed, and at present, it seemed that Licia could not bear a child of the Dragon Emblem with him. Otherwise, it is the best choice.

Stimulated by Duke Holland's ugly gaze, Dimitri decided to make it clear to Licia today.

"What's the matter, Your Highness." Licia broke her wrist and followed Dimitri.

The two came to the side of a gazebo.

Just blocked by a rose.

"Next year, I must determine the candidate for the princess." Dimitri's hint was very obvious.

Licia understood, and Dimitri's favorability was close to 90.00%.

But she deliberately refused to answer. "So, do you want me to help you find out which family is more suitable or more valuable?"

Dimitri's favorability suddenly dropped a little. "Licia, don't play dumb."

Licia really hated Dimitri's attitude in dealing with emotions. As the crown prince, he always didn't like to guide others to say what he wanted to hear.

"I'm not pretending to be stupid, Dimitri, just say what I have to say." Licia's attitude became more stubborn, and she didn't even call Dimitri's name directly.

"Very good." Dimitri's favorability has been fluctuating. "I think, at present, your family, the Campbell family is the most suitable for marriage with the royal family."

Dimitri's tone made Licia's little hope for love disappear.

"No, Your Highness, you can find someone else when you get married, so that you can get more help. As for the Campbell family and I, neither will betray you, and I will always assist you." Licia wanted to keep her arrogance and Dignity, but at the same time she doesn't want to annoy her only current partner.

The evening wind blew through the rose branches, making a rustling sound.

Licia looked at Dimitri sincerely in the night.

Dimitri sighed, he was annoyed by the unresolved feelings in his chest, and what the girl in front of him said obviously meant nothing to him.

"Our children can be the heirs of the Campbell family in the future. This is very beneficial to your Campbell family." Dimitri is still guiding Licia to agree to this ostensible political marriage.

Licia shook her head. "Don't think about me, Your Highness."

During the many seconds of silence, there was a sound of playfulness.

Dimitri and Licia saw the mayor of Senna chasing and scolding each other and Raphael taking off the black veil.

"Oh, Your Royal Highness, why are you here, and you also have a female companion." Holland sat in the gazebo with his arms around Raphael, and suddenly saw Dimitri with a surprised face.

Licia didn't dare to turn her head and turned her back to them.

"I'm so excited, Duke Holland." Dimitri stopped the Duke who was about to come. "You're welcome, please continue."

Dimitri hugged Licia, turned her around, took her hand and left the gazebo, without letting her show her face in front of Holland.
