Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 82

"Don't think too much." Case couldn't help comforting her. "He shouldn't be able to see you, it's not that coincidental."

Licia felt that her intuition was very keen, and she was already sure that Dimitri knew.

But anyway, he didn't expose himself, so there was nothing to blame him for.

"Okay, Case stay here." The sun went down, and Flindoner started to chase the guests. "You two don't stay here."

"This one is for you." Flindonna looked around shortly, making sure that there was no one around. "Here's this one for you. You change into your clothes and leave one by one. Don't be nervous when you meet people in the church."

Licia took a gray linen robe and put it on her body, completely covering her body.

"Be careful on the road." Case patted Licia's head. "When you get home, use the conch to contact me."

Licia also patted her chest. "Okay." Then he turned his head and glanced at Keith. "And you, where are you going?"

Keith put the brass compass in the pouch, and put on his robes too. "I'm going to the swamp to look for Black Pearl. I'm on duty tomorrow. I'll ask it to help your brother escape."

Flindonna's eyes widened, staring at Guise with the same eyes as he would look at a gold coin. "You are that Geese, the fortune teller at the Black Pearl Fair!"

He also brought Licia to Geese for divination, but he didn't expect that Licia's servant was actually her.

"Yes, I am the countertop of the black pearl, a gold coin divination master." Geese slipped away after Licia.

"Miss, His Royal Highness has been waiting for you for a long time." Marianne nervously intertwined her hands, then trotted to Licia who had just got off the carriage.

"Dimitri?" Licia took off her robe and handed it to Marianne. "Marian, help me quietly take the robe and burn it." Licia tidied up her appearance a little.

Marianne took Licia's linen robe and felt that she had received a very important task. She crumpled up the linen robe and stuffed it under her skirt. After hiding it, she looked around and ran away.

"Licia, come here quickly, let me see if you're okay. It's so messy outside, what are you doing, my daughter." Duke Mixiu stood up from the couch as soon as he saw Licia's figure Get up, showing what seems to be a very kind smile.

Dimitri sat next to a decorative candle lamp, so that the two halves of his face showed different light and shadow.

"Your Highness, you are here." Licia said in a tired voice, her clothes were dirty and her hair was a mess. "I'll go upstairs and change my clothes before I come down."

Dimitri nodded. "After you change your clothes, let's find a room and talk alone."

Duke Mishu immediately said, "Let's go to the study on the second floor." He also pretended to be terminally ill but still wanted to be loyal to Dimitri, stood up with his waist supported, and staggered with Dimitri up to the second floor. .

Marianne had just thrown the gown into the fire, and now that the kitchen had gone to rest, she dismissed the fire keeper.

"What are you doing, you just threw away Licia's robe, right?" Ashe was wearing her nightgown, looking down at the terrified Marianne. "What are you afraid of! Stupid servant! Is Lycia your master, am I not?"

Marianne nodded, then shook her head, not knowing what to say with tears in her eyes.

"It's a lot of work." Ashe kicked Marianne. "Okay, okay, don't say it if you don't say it, anyway, I know that Licia asked you to come."

"I beg you, please don't say it. Miss Licia is also your sister, and you are all one." Marianne panicked.

"Licia, what did she say about me? It seems that you all think that I will harm her? Ha!" Ashe turned around and walked out of the kitchen with her arms folded. "I don't despise doing such a thing."

Dimitri waited in the study for half an hour before Licia sat down opposite him, wearing decent clothes and combing her hair properly.

Duke Mixiu showed a smile on his face, and his legs and feet seemed to be sharper. He exited the study and closed the door behind him.

"Your Highness, I saw my brother today. He was murdered by people from the church," Licia rushed to say it before Dimitri opened his mouth, which would appear a little more sincere.

"Hmm." Dimitri rested his elbows on the desk, crossed his left and right hands near his chin.

"Obviously, you saw me. Right?" Licia couldn't wait for Dimitri's next sentence, and then confessed.

"However, I was thinking, why are you so sure that I am there?" Licia threw the main question to Dimitri. At this moment, she felt extremely tired, watching Dimitri reach 90.00% Nine will never have full favorability.

Licia thought that a person like Dimitri would never fall in love with someone wholeheartedly.

"I haven't asked you why you came into contact with fugitives from the empire, but you questioned me first." Dimitri is so suitable to be a teacher, he always speaks to Licia unconsciously in a preaching tone.

Especially at times like this, Licia felt very uncomfortable. "Enough." She slapped the emerald ring on the table. "Is this the ring?"

Dimitri nodded. "But Licia, I never had the attitude of wanting to follow you. The emerald ring means a lot to me. If I want to watch you and follow you, there are many ways."

"So? So why are you?"

"Obviously, I don't want to remember that scene every time I see it." Dimitri suddenly changed his attitude again, and he untied his crossed hands.

Before Licia could react, he held her cheek and moved closer.

"Licia, marry me. After we get married, we will make a contract and there will be no doubts." The tip of Dimitri's nose touched Licia's, and their breaths intertwined.

"Although I didn't like the moment of mutual suspicion and game just now, I can't just marry you casually because of this." Licia was very calm, because she knew that Dimitri could not fall in love with her wholeheartedly. And she won't fall in love with anyone wholeheartedly.

Her eyes moved to the side potted plants, not looking at Dimitri's burning eyes.

Finally, Dimitri let go of Licia's face and stood up. "Licia, I've already asked you twice, and I won't ask you again in the future."

A burst of anger surged from Licia's heart. "It's amazing. You want to propose to me, but you always threaten me with benefits and other things. It's not a threat. In short, you are. You are the one who wants to get married. Why do you have to talk about the benefits of marrying you?"

She stood up too, and in a flash of excitement, she grabbed Dimitri. "Wait, don't go."

"Let me also make it clear to you that you can weigh your marriage, my appearance, my family, and even my loyalty. But I can't, I'm different from you."

Dimitri turned his back to Licia.

"Continue." The tone was very unfriendly.

Licia let go of Dimitri's hand. "I will not let my marriage be stained with anything else. I will find someone I love with all my heart, and he will love me with all my heart, but this is definitely not you!"

After Dimitri finished listening, he paused for a long time, and finally he opened the door of the study and walked out without saying a word.

And they didn't even finish talking about the original thing.

Licia even heard her father, Duke Mishu, following Dimitri in fear.

"What are you doing? Licia, Your Highness came to see you specially, and you just let His Highness go away like this? Is it because I have been too kind to you during this time, are you bloated?" Mi Xiu still did not change, and said Doesn't get better because of his wife's death and his own sigil power nearly rioting.

Licia sighed. "Father, am I your biological daughter? Why didn't you ask me if I was offended by His Highness, instead of immediately blaming me?"

She had to think of what Keith said, whether it was true, she was not Michelle Campbell's biological daughter, although the meaning of her words was covered up as angry words.

But Licia saw the change in the expression on Mi Xiu's face, and she became more suspicious in her heart.

His scowling paused for a moment, and he turned to observe and judge Lizia's real intention in saying this sentence. "Otherwise, I'm teaching you how to be loyal to His Highness."

Mi Xiu held on to the handle of the wooden stairs, standing below Licia and talking to her.

"Didn't you tell Anunado that this is your plan?"

Licia nodded angrily. She was impulsive again just now, but now she even has a sense of loss.

Lost because Dimitri didn't pick up the conversation after she finished her harsh words just now, and didn't say what she wanted to hear.

But Lycia herself hadn't realized this yet.

"Your Highness and I are just arguing about some things, and it won't be a serious problem." Licia rubbed her arms, and glanced at the 50.00% affection degree that was precariously above Duke Mixiu's head. "Dad, I got hurt a little on the way home during the day, and I want to go back and have a rest."

"Do you need to call a doctor?" Duke Mixiu didn't even have the basic greeting.

Licia shook her head.

"Tomorrow, go to the storeroom and get a high-quality gemstone scabbard for His Highness." Duke Mixiu was not talking in a negotiating tone.

Licia could only answer that she knew.

Since the people on the other side gave the warning to Lantcos City, the atmosphere of vigilance and panic in the city has been very thin. Instead, everyone came to worship at the foot of the Heraldry Academy mountain piously.

Licia held the flamboyant scabbard given by Mishu, and had to get out of the car and walk, and people blocked the passage up the mountain.

"Miss Licia." It was Ning Tong, the housekeeper of the dormitory. "Please take the academy's carriage." He helped Licia lift her skirt, then arranged the steps, held Licia's hand and helped her board the carriage with the church pattern on it.

"Mr. Ning Tong, why doesn't the school let these people leave." Licia felt very upset when she saw so many people holding Futipas and believing that she was the messenger of the goddess.

"Master Dean is kind and doesn't let us drive them away with violence." Ning Tong was holding white gloves on the door, looking at Licia, waiting for her to speak.

"Okay." Lycia leaned on the cushion, nodded and signaled that she was ready to go.

The atmosphere in the academy is a bit different, especially the group of people in the Mandala Academy, led by Yuga.

Worry was on their faces.

The noble students looked excited.

"Master Dean is too powerful!"

"It's not at all the same as the archbishop's stupid ass. Did you know that the archbishop can't even activate the luminous magic circle?" Even Troy said the same.

Dimitri and his men were right on the opposite side of the church, but they still loved and worshiped Futespa.

Only Lycia had the enemy of Futespa.

No, it should be said that only Lycia discovered that Futespa was the real 'archbishop'.

"Your Highness, the scabbard my father gave you." Licia walked into the classroom of the Thorn Academy, and handed the scabbard with gemstones shining in many colors to Dimitri.

Dimitri glanced at it, nodded, and said without emotion. "Convey my thanks to Duke Mixiu, and put it on the table in the front row."

Licia felt very uncomfortable, so she followed suit.

"Okay, everyone is here, right?" Dimitri stood in front of the podium without looking at Licia.

He was dressed very formally today, as if he was about to attend some important occasion.

"An important clue, the arson was done by the people in Lantcos City." Dimitri said. "

Dimitri looked very serious. "I was able to catch people, but they were messed up by the people of the church. I don't know if they did it on purpose. At this time, the church is still thinking about fighting for power with the royal family through the reputation and prestige of the dean. They must be made to pay."

"I asked the dean. Half of this matter may indeed be done by people from the other side, and the other half may be done by other forces. She said that it may be done by those Westerners near the Dark Mountains. They have long been restless. Stay in the cold area. Fortunately, the dean calmed the panic of those civilians, otherwise I would not be able to stand and speak with you today." Dimitri said.

"Impossible, those people from the west don't even think about living in Lantcos City." Licia said. "It's the people on the other side. They found their way through the Eye of the Dead Sea. Soon they will come."

"Why not? The activities of the cold beasts in the west are also frequent." Dimitri tapped on the table lightly. "Besides, if the people on the other side really have the ability, they won't warn us in advance with a big battle. Alright, Licia, we are now discussing how to catch the arsonist."

Licia raised her hand, allowing Dimitri to continue.

"The current clue is that there is only a little bit of information, about the fireman." Dimitri said. "The man, wearing black clothes, is about the same height as Li, and about the same height as Viscount Fudomi. He should have the power of a coat of arms."

Dimitri made a point of not making a comparison with Licia's size.

"The aristocratic males in the Thorn Empire are all tall. If you want to find someone as tall as Fudomi, the scope is very small." Troy said, he drew his own height with Fudomi's pen.
