Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 69

"Well, did you quarrel with Dimitri?" Troy was talking with his arms around Fudomi.

"No." Licia sat up, her face obviously a little unhappy.

"The one named Keith, I heard you took her in." Troy sat upright.

"Yes, after all, she is better at divination than you." Licia opened the window and shouted at Keith who was standing outside and was trying to put on her shoes. "Geece! Put your shoes on and come here."

Troy slammed his fist on the knee. "Licia, you let civilians share a car with us?"

"Gith is not a commoner, but an aristocrat." Licia held the cloak with her right hand and pushed open the carriage door with her left hand.

Keith poked his head in, wearing a black veil, revealing a pair of beeping eyes. "There are so many people."

Troy counted the number of people and held out three fingers. "Only three people."

"Come up, let's go right away." Licia patted the cushion next to her.

Keith supported the carriage with both hands, climbed up in embarrassment, and then sat in the middle of the carriage, at the feet of the three of them.

Fudomi covered her mouth and smiled softly. "Miss Keith is so lovely."

Lycia tugged at Rakis's back. "Sit on the top, it's embarrassing to sit on the floor."

Keith turned his head around, then sat down on the soft cushion and sighed. "I really enjoy it."

Troy cleared his throat twice. "Miss Keith, I heard that you are good at divination?"

Keith nodded, then lifted his robe and took out the brass compass, stretched out his right hand and laid it flat in front of Troy. "One gold coin will do."

Troy gave Lycia an embarrassed look, and the latter raised her chin at him.

Troy could only take out one gold coin and put it in Guise's hand. "Then you can divination about me, divination can do anything."

Geese took the gold coin and retracted his right hand.

She glanced at Troy, then turned the compass.

"You're going to be with a beautiful woman? Huh?! You're rolling on the lawn." Keith closed his eyes and pressed the compass. "Then, a mature lady will come to you, another one."

Fudomi still kept smiling.

Troy bowed his head and clasped his hands. "She's talking nonsense."

Very unashamed.

"You, wait, why are you hugging two ladies at the same time." Keith took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes. "Mr. Troy, your life is pretty lackluster, and every day is a different woman."

Fudomi could no longer keep her composure.

"Duke of Troy?"

Troy scratched his head and took Fudomi's hand. "Trust me, those are all stage plays."

"Do you still need to continue divination, sir." Keith stretched out his hand towards Fudomi. "Or what about you?"

Licia clapped Keith's hand away. "Okay, okay."

Fudomi would not really be angry with Duke Troy, she knew exactly what kind of person Troy was.

"Honey, I swear, you're the only one in my heart," Troy said.

Licia glanced at the 70.00% favorability level on the top of his head, it's very good, there is only one person in her heart.

Just when the atmosphere gradually became chaotic and funny.

The carriage stopped.

The door of the carriage where Licia was sitting was opened, and Dimitri stood at the door. Seeing Licia's fake smile and Troy's funny face, the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious.

"I have something to say." Dimitri squeezed into the carriage, bowed his waist, and waved to Geese. "You go down first."

Keith didn't move, just sat firmly on the mountain. "I'm Miss Licia's entourage, I have to obey her."

Dimitri hunched over, looking at Licia.

She didn't respond.

after a long time. "Gies, go sit in the carriage at the end, please help me divination about the little boy in the carriage, keep calm."

Licia didn't want to talk to Dimitri at first, but soon she changed her mind.

As long as she doesn't care about Dimitri, she can ignore what he said.

The more she cares about Dimitri's attitude, the more he will control her.

Now they are just partners, which is even better.

"Okay." Gisma slipped out of the carriage and closed the door behind him.

Dimitri sat down, stiffly.

"You are very thoughtful." Dimitri lowered his face and praised Licia.

Just now Dimitri was regretting sitting alone in the carriage, he couldn't read any books.

She racked her brains to find a reason to come to Licia.

And now that reason is.

Dimitri pulled out a map. "The day after tomorrow our carriage will arrive at Chinonbo, where we will buy some crocodile teeth from the Bali area."

The crocodile teeth in the Duobali area are one of the materials for replicating the heraldry stones, and Licia knows it by heart.

"Why are there items from the Duobali area in Chinonbo?" Troy asked. "Duobali is far from Chinonbo, Your Highness."

"Because the people in Chinonpo City have the custom of eating crocodile meat, the local crocodiles must not be enough, so they will definitely import them from the area rich in crocodiles, the Duobali area." Licia has read the customs records of the Beihe River Basin.

Dimitri nodded, and felt a burst of joy when Licia answered, which was like a symbol of the tacit understanding between the two. "Yes, alligator teeth will be very cheap in Chinonbo."

"Your Highness, why are you looking for such a strange material? You asked me to auction off a dragon scale whose authenticity was not known, but now you want to buy crocodile teeth." Troy asked.

Dimitri glanced at Licia. "Create some new potions, Licia is developing them recently."

Licia was very confused. Dimitri didn't want to tell Troy about the copying of the heraldry stone.

Sure enough, Troy recognized it immediately. "Okay, I got it, I will use Licia's name to purchase the next things." I didn't ask much else.

"Just this matter?" Troy was a little confused, is this matter worth coming here to talk about.

Dimitri took the map back and realized that his behavior was a bit ridiculous. He finally thought of a question just now, but he didn't think about whether it was worth it to say it now.

Dimitri could only bite the bullet and think of a question now, and he put a magic circle on the carriage to prevent eavesdropping.

"And about the illegitimate child." Dimitri came up with a topic on the spur of the moment. "At present, there are only four of us, and Lanier knows."

Fudomi nodded. "Don't worry, Your Highness, we won't talk about it everywhere."

"I need to ask you something, Troy," Dimitri said. "Do you know Mrs. Sonsonado?"

Troy took a deep breath, combined with the divination given to him by Geese just now, is it possible that he will have something to do with this lady?

"I know." Troy was a little depressed, this lady was notoriously ugly.

"She has a daughter who escorts a batch of heraldic stones to Catherine Church every September." Dimitri is really talking about business now.

Everyone's expressions turned serious.

"Mrs. Sonsonado likes all young boys." Dimitri said this premise, and Troy's face changed obviously.

"So you only need to show her a little at any banquet, then she will definitely invite you to her home." Dimitri thought of a very complicated method, and Licia knew what he wanted to do.

Troy thought of admiring Geese's divination ability for a moment, so he didn't have time to reply to Dimitri's words.

"Don't worry, Troy, I just want to finish this matter quietly, and I won't let you sacrifice your innocence, although you don't care about it." Dimitri said. "After you go to her house, leave this thing in the room of Mrs. Sonsonado's only daughter, and I will figure out what to do next."

"Why use such a complicated method." Fudomi was a little curious. "It's also possible for me to make friends. Although I don't know Mrs. Sonsonado very well, maybe I can go directly through her daughter. What's the name, Miss? Huh?"

Dimitri shook his head. "Mrs. Sonsonado never invites women who are more beautiful than her to be guests, and Miss Evie, she doesn't want to talk to anyone, and she won't go out except to go to Catherine Cathedral with the escort team in September."

Licia lamented that Dimitri seemed to be in control of the affairs of every noble family.

Troy nodded. "Okay, Your Highness, I understand."

"Licia, after you return to Lantcos City, if possible, arrange for Earl Ascha to meet with me." Dimitri said.

Licia nodded businessily. "Okay, got it."

"Also, Viscount Fudomi, after I go back this time, I may need to ask you to help me walk more about the illegitimate child on social occasions. We made the nobles think that the illegitimate child has been found and is now with us, but It's not the church." Dimitri even arranged things for Fudomi to make the topic last longer.

"I'll just stay in your carriage, Lanier is too noisy, let Tata stay with him." Dimitri closed his eyes to himself.

In fact, he couldn't sleep at all, and Licia was sitting next to him, and he could even feel Licia's arms and legs not far from him through the clothes.

And there were two people sitting opposite, so he couldn't open his heart and have a good talk with Licia.

Licia also had mixed feelings in her heart, and Dimitri seemed to really have feelings for her.

She really started to think about whether she should accept or reject Dimitri if one day he wasn't as awkward as he was now.

'He doesn't respect me, he doesn't respect the equality of life, he doesn't respect women, I should reject him. '

After a while, Licia thought again.

'He is handsome, he saved me, he is very upright, although his thoughts are corrupt and backward, but these are all because he is a person of this era.I might try to marry him and have a strong relationship. '

Licia didn't even think about why she didn't bother with other people's love and high favorability at all.

'No, Lycia, if you marry him, then one day you may really fall in love with him, love will go to your head, and then you will become a woman who only thinks about jealousy, love and hats all day long , you will be swallowed by this world. 'Licia struggled for a long time, but still decided to take one step at a time.

But Dimitri had been sitting next to him, which made her a little uncomfortable.

So Licia simply closed her eyes and began to sleep.

The location of Chinonbo City is between Lantcos City and Seine City, in the middle and lower reaches of the Be River Basin.

It is the area where the Bei River diverges the most, with a vast forest area, rich water resources, and rich fish and shrimp.

"To be honest, the meat quality of the white shrimp is like this, and it's not the chef's fault." Buchton pushed the plate away and scolded the chef, Troy explained.

They didn't disturb the city lord of Chinonbo City, and they didn't plan to spend the night here.

However, the dishes in the tavern really can't satisfy the nobles.

Licia likes Chinonbo's dishes quite a bit. Chili and pepper are put in everything, which is very appetizing. The only thing missing is a bowl of rice.

However, there is no rice in the Thorn Empire, so she can only eat bread. Fortunately, the bread is delicious.

"You eat more than usual." Dimitri was obviously not used to the food here, and there was a piece of crocodile meat stewed with a lot of chili in the middle of the table.

Licia nodded. "Yes, these dishes are appetizing."

Dimitri scooped up a spoonful of beans, the only non-spicy dish. "You can ask the cafeteria to add more pepper, or chilli, to your dishes. But chilli is not very popular in Lantcos City." Dimitri never knew that small talk can be enjoyable before.

Although he found a topic to talk to Licia throughout the meal.

"Well, yes, maybe I should talk to the chef about the chili." Licia nodded. "Where shall we go shopping, Your Highness?"

"There's a crocodile shop in the market up ahead," Dimitri said. "After dinner."

Licia nodded, poured the beans into the soup, gave it a couple of stirs, and ate three spoonfuls.

"Let's go, Your Highness." Licia stood up and wiped the corners of her mouth with a tablecloth. Everyone hasn't finished eating, so it's better to go now.

Dimitri put down his spoon and wiped his mouth. "I'll go shopping with Miss Licia."

Keith, who was sitting at another table, raised his head nervously, took out his compass and did a fortune-telling, and then lowered his head and continued eating after confirming that there was no danger.

"Let's go there first, look around, and buy after we meet Troy and Fudomi." Licia assumed her identity as an agent.

"Yes." Dimitri walked side by side with her.

The buildings in Chinonbo City are very small, and the vendors pile their goods on the ground for sale, but the streets are clean and there are no smelly gutters.

At first glance, even in the downtown area, the view is very wide, so unlike other cities, the color tone of Chinonbo is brighter.

"Toto melon! The best toto melon!"

Licia glanced down. "The toto melon here is different from the one planted by Mrs. Ke Lier."

"Of course, Mrs. Ke Lier should plant toto melons that produce more seeds, and the varieties are different." Dimitri quickly took over the conversation.

"The crocodile shop, over there." Licia saw more than one crocodile shop, and there were four or five crocodile shops in a row.

"Duobali, every family has written Duobali, isn't the local crocodile delicious?" Licia said. "However, Your Highness, there are crocodiles in Chinonbo, what if they pass off the local crocodiles as those from the Dobali area?"
