Chapter 160

Meanwhile, a loud noise echoed in the townhouse of the Angenas family located in the Capital.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

The Empress’ younger brother and the new Lord of Angenas, Duigi Angenas screamed at the man who stood in his way with a frightened face.

"I can’t believe a Knight Commander of Angenas imprisoned the head of a family!"

Duigi Angenas was only leaving the office to attend a social club salon.

Until he found Ethan Klaus, Knight Commander of Angenas family, hold the door.

Apart from Lord’s orders to step aside from the way, Ethan Klaus did not budge.

Dressed in thick armor, he stood tall like a mountain, just looking down at Duigi Angenas with an indifferent face.

"Hey! There is a man who disobeyed the order of the Lord of Angenas. Drag this guy!"

Even if I shouted until the veins stood in his neck, there was no sign of a move in the empty hallway.

As if everyone knew about Duigi Angenas’ situation and escaped.

It was a chilling moment.

"Do you get it now, Duigi?"

Slowly turning from the corner was Empress Rabini, wearing a long veil.

"Who is the real owner of Angenas."

"How, how could you do this to me!"

"Ah, I didn’t want to do this either. But you didn’t want to listen to me to postpone the payment of Lombardy Construction."

"But there’s an appointment date and there’s constant pressure from Lombardy, so..."

"After all, You must be more afraid of Lombardy than I am."

Empress Rabini smiled and asked.

"How are you now, Duigi?"

Duigi Angenas looked at Rabini with a tired face and shook his head.

"I don’t understand you, my sister. You owe so much to Sussew and Lombardy, Aren’t you worried?"

"What’s there to worry about? The Western business is finished and all we have to do is harvest the fruit."

Tak! Tak!

The sound of Empress Rabini approaching Duigi echoed in the hallway.

"My poor and stupid little brother. You are the son of our father."

She clicked her tongue.

"Tourism is not everything in the West. Money is saved where people gather. There will be a miracle that a big city will be built on land that cannot be farmed properly. It’s a miracle I made. So there’s nothing you need to worry about, Duigi."

The blue eyes looking at Duigi Angenas shone coldly.

"Other than your own ignorance."

Empress Rabini’s fingertips tapped Duigi Angenas on the cheek.

And she clicked her tongue again, looking at her brother’s face stained with fear and anger.

"I’ll overlook your mistake this time, but not the second time. Do you understand?"

In a very sweet voice, Empress Rabini whispered.

"You can continue to do as I say. Then, you will be able to enjoy your life as the Lord of Angenas."

The Empress, who said so, gave Ethan Klaus a wink.

Then the Knight of Angenas, who stands tall, moved aside and gave way.

The Empress looked at it satisfactorily then turned and walked away.

But Duigi exclaimed.

"Hey, you can’t do it like this!"

"Sigh. What else do you mean, Duigi?"

When he stopped, the Empress’ face eventually became very annoyed.

The way to change Angenas’ Lord is simple.

If the current Angenas Lord dies or becomes incapable of fulfilling its duties as the Lord.

"This business, I’m sure I’ll follow my sister’s advice, but what are you going to do with the throne? Shouldn’t you make the First Prince the Crown Prince?"

"...so what?"

Dark flesh flashed in Empress Rabini’s eyes as she asked slowly.

"There is talk among the nobility about the suitability of the First Prince. He only hunts with young nobles every day. You should have made him study now..."

Slap!

The Empress, who walked in the wind, slapped Duigi with all her might.

Red blood flowed from the face that was scratched by the ring she was wearing.

"God damn it. How dare you talk to me about my son."

Empress Rabini stared at Duigi Angenas with fierce eyes.

But something was wrong.

There was a smile in his eyes, which seemed to be full of anger at first glance.

Duigi was aware of the look.

It was the face Rabini used to make when she was caught up on something when she was young.

"You’re still quick-witted, Duigi."

Empress Rabini smiled as if she had been caught.

It was a chilling grin somewhere.

"His Majesty will never have the Second Prince as his Crown Prince. That lowly thing was born to resemble the wrong person. Also, even if it does happen..."

Rabini significantly shined his eyes and shortened her words.

"In the end, my son will be crowned as Crown Prince. So you don’t have to do anything."

"I don’t have to do anything..."

"From now on, you can just do what you like to do now. Just like you."

"Ah..."

Only then did Duigi know Rabini’s plan and instinctively tried to back off.

The Empress smiled and said.

"Because this mother will take care of everything."

It’s been a long time since I’ve been alone in the evening.

My father was reading a book after dinner alone because the meeting at the Pellet Corporation seemed to be late.

Knock! Knock!

It was then that a small knock was heard.

"Come on in."

When I answered, the door carefully opened and Larane came in.

"Can I talk to you for a second, Tia?"

"Of course. Sit here, Larane."

Larane looked a little nervous.

I’ve already guessed the reason, but I acted like I didn’t know anything.

"Would you like a cup of tea?"

"Oh, no. I’ve been drinking. And this one."

Larane, who hesitated for a while, held out a bunch of white flowers.

Tiny flowers the size of a thumb were tied up in abundance.

"It’s Langpa flower. It smells strong, so it’s good to put it by the window."

"Thank you, Larane. I’m also enjoying the flower tea you gave me last time."

"Tell me whenever you need it, Tia. I have a lot."

"Huh. There’s always something to be grateful for from Larane."

It didn’t mean much.

Larane, who blinked her big blue eyes without a word, said in a small voice.

"The one to thank is me, Tia!"

Larane’s two hands on her knees seemed to clench the hem of her dress.

"Thank you for today. I came by to say that."

Larane’s voice even trembled slightly.

"Hmm, Larane. I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?"

I asked carefully.

"Huh? Oh, no! That’s not what I meant, Tia."

Larane replied, shaking her hands in surprise.

"Thanks to you, I was able to see Sir Avinox..."

A faint smile appeared on Larane’s face, which was slightly bowed.

That was a pretty smile.

I asked a little mischievously.

"You like Sir Avinox so much, Larane?"

"Huh? Oh, that’s..."

Oh, my God.

One question from me made Larane’s face so red that she couldn’t blush anymore.

She used to be shy because of her personality, but I’ve never seen such a red face.

"Sir Avinox, makes me laugh."

It was a word that Larane brought up after a long time.

"You know, I’m a little timid, so I feel awkward and nervous when I’m with people. But when I’m with Sir Avinox, I find myself smiling."

"Comfortably..."

"Because I can see that he is a person who truly cares about me. I guess I’m relieved."

Larane looked very comfortable saying that.

"What a strange thing, Tia. I’ve never been so comforted by my parents who gave birth to me or my younger brother who grew up with me."1

I patted the back of Larane’s hand, who said something bitter.

"For the time being, think only of yourself, Larane. If Larane is happy and comfortable, that’s it."

"Tia..."

Larane looked at me with trembling eyes and smiled bitterly.

"As expected, you know about the marriage."

"What’s going on?"

"Fortunately, nothing has been decided yet. It’s just that my parents tell me to get ready. I think there are a few candidates."

"Candidate?"

"Tia knows that. Now my father’s situation is a little complicated."

"Ah..."

I ended up sighing.

Viese is now considering where to marry his daughter to benefit him the most.

There is only one daughter, and having an in-law through marriage can be a huge opportunity or a card to cover up big mistakes.

"I know how selfish it is to accept Sir Avinox’s heart in this situation. But I like Sir Avinox so much..."

Larane’s voice was tremble.

Larane, who grew up hearing that she had to marry a person who was decided for the convenience of her family.

You probably feel enormous guilt just because you fell in love with Avinox ahead of your marriage.

I quietly moved to the opposite seat.

And I hugged Larane tightly.

"As I said a little while ago, only think of yourself, Larane. Nothing has been decided yet, so don’t be so sad already."

"Thank you, Tia..."

Larane’s body trembled.

I brushed her back and told Larane in her ear.

"It’s okay, Larane. Because no one knows what’s going to happen."

A few days later.+

Gallahan was greeted with discomfort by a sudden visit to the clothing store.

He didn’t even contact him in advance and came to the office located in the main branch of the Gallahan Clothing Store.

The random visit without a word meant that he already knew when and where Gallahan was.

In addition, Gallahan was very nervous and clenched his fist, because the one who came to meet him was his opponent.

But he didn’t show any signs of it.

Rather, he straightened his chest and asked the visitor in a calm voice.

"What brings you here all of a sudden, Lord Chanton Sussew."
