Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 83

"The job of finding someone is just to ask you to help pay attention." Dimitri said. "Troy, what about Mrs. Sonsonado?"

Troy was touching Domi's little hand. "Mrs. Sonsonado has invited me to their house next Saturday."

Licia found that everyone except herself had something to do.

But she didn't say anything in the end, and left with Caroline.

Licia could feel Dimitri's indifference towards her.

"What? You have already left Lantcos City?" This was the second time Licia contacted Case with the conch.

"Yes, Lycia, I'm in the carriage now," Case said. "Recently there have been a lot of guards and patrols in Lantcos City, especially on Lantau Street."

"Did Black Pearl bring you out?" Licia pulled out a towel and put it on her shoulders, her hair was still dripping water.

"Yes, thanks to Miss Keith, otherwise I would have been stuck in that small bookstore in Flindona," Case said.

"By the way, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned this matter again later?" Case asked worriedly.

Licia shook her head, though Case couldn't see it. "No, His Highness knew that I met you, but he didn't say anything about it later, and he didn't even ask what you are doing now. He didn't even ask about the theft of the heraldry stone."

Only then did Licia realize that the royal family's Dragon Emblem Stone was stolen, and Dimitri didn't seem to have pursued it. He should have known that Case had stolen the Emblem Stone. Licia felt that this incident It's still time to talk to Dimitri, even though it's Case's fault anyway.

"Your Highness, can we continue talking about what happened last time?" Licia summoned up her courage and knocked on the door of Dimitri's room at around nine o'clock in the evening.

He was in pajamas, with a volume in his hand, and was dealing with matters.

"Come in." He opened the door a little, and let Licia sit down.

"What? Miss Licia has figured it out now?" Dimitri felt his mind was not in control all day long. Whenever he thought of Licia's saying that it was impossible to fall in love with him, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach. I don't understand this kind of emotion, I have never felt it before.

And now, with Licia standing here, he felt better, and he began to guess that Licia would admit her mistake next, and he would forgive her immediately, and then they could hug together.

Then he could smell Licia's scent behind her ears, and feel the warmth of her skin.

"Sorry, Your Highness, I heard that the Dragon's Emblem Stone stored in the church has been stolen." Licia said, her head was lowered, her hair was still a little damp, her skin was fair and translucent, like a flower wet by rain. roses.

"Your brother Case stole it." Dimitri walked around behind Licia, wrapping his hands around Licia's wet hair. "Why don't you dry your hair."

Licia could feel Dimitri's warmth from his scalp.

"It's very warm now."

Licia felt that Dimitri was always capable of putting things aside, but Licia was not in the mood for romance at all right now, especially after she said such cruel words just yesterday.

"Your Highness, my brother didn't fight against the empire, he was just framed by people from the church." Licia turned her head and looked at Dimitri behind her.

"You explained it. I understand." Dimitri was completely fascinated by Licia's wet hair. He seemed to have forgotten Licia's cruel words last night, and he was still unconsciously completely attracted by Licia's wet hair. She is attracted. "I don't think there's anything to pursue here, and I'm trying to frame the matter to the Archbishop."

Licia breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you have to tell me what your brother did with the heraldry stone," Dimitri said. "After all, except for those in the royal family, anyone else who uses the dragon's coat of arms will be burned to death immediately."

Licia froze for a moment. "Will be burned to death?"

Dimitri nodded. "It doesn't turn into a monster, it burns from the inside out."

"And to me, the Dragon's Emblem Stone is useless, so besides being a symbol of the royal family, it has no other meaning."

"Then why do you want to copy the Dragon's Emblem Stone?" Licia asked. "You bought the dragon scales to copy your own heraldry stone."

"Yes, obviously, it is safer to copy the Dragon's Emblem Stone. If the copied Emblem Stone still turns people into monsters, then the Dragon's Emblem Stone will only kill that person and will not cause other effects. ’ explained Dimitri. "The material of the heraldry stone is only inferior to the thorns behind Catherine Cathedral."

Licia thought that Case would not be so stupid to use the heraldry stone directly on himself.

Through communicating with the conch, Lycia deduced that the organization Case joined should have mastered how to transfer the heraldic power contained in the heraldic stone to other items. "I'll ask my brother. Before that, I'm very sorry, Your Highness."

She didn't know what position to use to apologize. Dimitri represented the Thorn Empire and the adjudicator.

And Keith is a force that does not submit to the empire, is reactionary, uncontrollable, and dangerous to the Thorn Empire.

As the crown prince of the Thorn Empire, Dimitri downplayed this incident.

Obviously, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was just trying to win Licia's favor. "I think you should take that sentence back."

"What are you talking about?" Licia's hair was already half dry.

"You said that you will never marry me." Dimitri subconsciously used the tone of order again.

"Your Highness, do you think we are equal?" Licia asked.

"It is." Dimitri didn't think so in his heart. As a royal family, he naturally had a strong sense of superiority.

"Then what do you think of the common people? If I become a commoner, would you still want to marry me?" Licia continued to ask.

"Why did you become a commoner? Don't talk about these meaningless topics."

"Then do you love me, Your Highness?" Many scenes flashed through Licia's mind, those scenes where she occasionally fell in love with Dimitri.

"I like you, you are beautiful, studious, and smart." This is Dimitri as if appraising a beautiful item, even if he has strong feelings and love in his heart, he will not say it.

"Thank you for your compliment." Licia turned her neck back.

Dimitri looked down at Licia, at the top of her head, the tip of her nose, and her hands on the table.

"But it's not me," Licia said, saying what she'd always wanted to say. "The real me is a soul without any attributes. When are you willing to let go of these cumbersome things and stand in front of the Sun Goddess as if we were already dead."

Dimitri had heard that some people would pursue these things, and he had ridiculed others. If a person has appearance and knowledge out of status, then he is not that person either.

"You are too ideal. Even if I am separated from my own identity and my own appearance, I am nothing, and you will not even look at me."

He thinks that love is like this, when you love this person, you love her all; then you love this person precisely because of her everything, her appearance, her background, and her mind.

The pursuit of the two people is contradictory.

But they seem to be attracted to each other.

"So, Dimitri, I can take back my absolute words, but I don't think your opinion will change for me, and neither will I." Licia clenched her fists on the table. "And nobody proposes so unromantically, so embarrassingly."

"As long as you agree, I will think of the best way to propose to you." Dimitri immediately took up the topic.

However, Licia just shook her head, why couldn't Dimitri understand her refusal?

"After June is over, I will personally discuss our marriage with Duke Mishuu." Dimitri had completely ignored any words of rejection from Licia.

"No, I said it, Your Highness, I said I don't want it." Licia was very angry, and she hated this deformed relationship even more.

Why did she work so hard for so long, but in the end, she still couldn't get the minimum respect.

"At least I will hear you talk about these things now, and others, no one will listen to you talk about these things. They are just attracted by your looks and come towards your family's wealth. You say I am not pure. Then they compare I'm more impure."

Lycia didn't want to argue anymore, Dimitri's mind was limited and he would never be able to understand what she said.

However, he was right, no one in this world could understand her.

So it made her feel more and more that love is not important in her current life.

June is approaching, and the portable Light Circle led by Licia has been put into production. The principle is very simple, just engrave the Light Circle on a metal sheet, then roll it up, and add a side to the bottom of the metal roll to increase the brightness The mirror is almost the same as the flashlight in the previous life.

During this process, Lizia came into contact with many people, and she also clearly felt the change in other people's attitude towards her.

She enjoys this moment, this moment of being valued.

However, she still needs to think about other things now, and the exam is coming soon.

She is about to take her first exam since entering the academy.

Heraldry Theory Exam.

In the name of preparing for the exam, she also rejected Dimitri's many invitations to meet.

Oh, since another failed conversation, Lycia started avoiding seeing him.

"Licia, you don't need to review at all." Caroline also had an exam soon, and she didn't know what to worry about about Licia's exam, she had learned these lessons a long time ago.

"Caroline, you drew the wrong line, and the items in the high-level healing circle were also filled in wrongly." Licia glanced at what Caroline was reviewing, and gave some casual pointers.

Although Caroline is excellent in combat, her memory has to be said to be poor.

"Don't look!" Caroline covered her book. "By the way, what's going on with your highness recently."

Licia shook her head. "It's nothing, I'm just busy lately."

"I heard that His Highness seems to have attended several banquets recently." Caroline moved her shoulders to Licia's, then tilted her head and said in a low voice.

"He's the crown prince, isn't that normal?" Licia said indifferently.

"It's not an ordinary banquet, it's a banquet attended by many noble ladies." Caroline hinted at her.

Licia let out an indifferent oh, and started reading her book again.

Even if she heard that Dimitri was engaged to other ladies, she would not be surprised at all.

What she wants to do now is to pass the exam well, then start selling the portable Light Circle, and then prepare to go to the Babaliqi area in mid-July.

"Lin Xi, you are so amazing that you have written all the questions."

Licia hadn't paid attention to Linxi for a long time, and just after the exam, all the people at the same level gathered together and whispered.

Except for Sto and Tata, there was no one around Licia.

The scandal about Duke Michaux of the Campbell family was spread uncontrollably. In just half a year, the Campbell family had a series of changes.

Apart from going to the library, Licia will not communicate with other students.

"I'm sure I'm not as good as Licia in the test, but she is reviewing in the library every day." Lin Xi said triumphantly.

Licia who was mentioned was at a loss. Why did Linxi force herself to be involved when others were praising her.

"It's not easy for her to persist in studying when her family is so busy." One of Linxi's female followers said loudly in a harsh tone, and Lizia didn't even remember her name.

"Okay, okay, don't irritate Licia." Lin Xi raised her hand.

Lizia looked at Lin Xi with mentally retarded eyes. She had less than [-]% favorability. It had been a long time since she had seen her, and she almost forgot her character. Lizia turned around and left. "I'm going home first."

She walked to the school gate and waited for Marianne to pick up her carriage.

An unexpected person chased him out.

It was Linxi, she came out alone.

"What's the matter, didn't you laugh at me too much just now?" Licia mocked her.

"His Highness Dimitri is currently looking for other marriage partners, do you know?" Lin Xi said. "What are you thinking? Even rejecting someone like His Highness, do you really think that you are an extraordinary person?"

"Are you thinking about me?" Licia felt that Lin Xi's way of speaking was very similar to that of her sister Ash.

"Of course, Licia, we used to be good friends after all." Lin Xi bit the word once very hard.

Licia waved her hand. "No need, just take care of yourself."

"You don't think that what you are doing is a portable light circle, and others are looking at your face." Lin Xi said, a little movement among nobles will become a topic of discussion for all other nobles, so in fact Licia didn't announce it at all, and all the other nobles still knew what she was doing.

"What do you mean? Do you think it's because of Dimitri?" Licia sneered. "Lin Xi, don't you think that all things in this world can only be done well by men, or rely on men?"
