Chapter 187. Moving (2)
Translator: Aura / Editor: vy
When Baron Lant visited her, Rashta was conversing with her parents.
“We’re leaving now, right?”
“They must have things to talk about, let’s go.”
The fake parents were in the middle of a laughing conversation with Rashta, but as soon as Baron Lant arrived they immediately stood up.
‘They are very attentive.’
Rashta looked at them with satisfaction, she really liked them.
They treated Rashta lovingly, as if she were their real daughter, but still polite and respectful.
She loved the way they behaved, and the more she saw them, the more she liked them.
“See you later then, mother, father.”
Rashta provided an affectionate farewell to them in front of Baron Lant. However, Baron Lant stopped the couple who were about to leave.
“Ah, you can’t leave.”
The couple stopped anxiously between the sofa and the coffee table, not understanding his words.
Rashta also stared at Baron Lant, not understanding the situation.
“Why?”
When Rashta asked, Baron Lant smirked and offered her the light yellow parchment he was holding.
Rashta accepted the parchment in bewilderment.
Opening up the rolled up paper, she slowly read what was on it.
Her fake parents became increasingly nervous and looked over at Rashta anxiously.
After a while, Rashta’s eyes widened at Baron Lant. She then turned to her parents and exclaimed,
“His Majesty has appointed my father as an official!”
Rashta’s fake father asked perplexed, “An official?” His lips fell open in surprise.
Rashta’s fake mother covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Baron Lant. The fallen noble couple, who had barely been able to retain their title, had never held any office.
Rashta jumped up and down gleefully.
‘His Majesty is doing this to make me the Empress.’
Rashta immediately realized Sovieshu’s intentions as she shed tears of happiness.
Her fake mother followed suit, smiling as she wiped her reddened eyes with a handkerchief.
“This is what happens when one has a good daughter.”
“You are our treasure, Rashta.”
Baron Lant smirked as he watched Rashta embrace and rejoice with her fake parents.
It was a shame that Empress Navier was no longer around, but that aside, he liked these three together and wished all was well for them in the future.
A young girl who lost her parents as a child and lived a hard life. A couple who had searched for their daughter to the point of spending all their wealth.
A family that had been separated for more than ten years was dramatically reunited and, from now on, the road ahead of them was a path of flowers.
It was like a moving play, and Baron Lant ended up sobbing.
“Why are you crying Baron…”
When Rashta smiled and asked playfully, Baron Lant smiled awkwardly.
“Yes, I’m crying.”
“Baron…”
“There will be many good things to come, I’m sure.”
After Baron Lant left, Rashta took her fake parents’ hands and asked them,
“Tomorrow there will be a tea party. Would you like to come and share the good news?”
Sovieshu gave his fake parents an office, probably wanting to consolidate their position in high society.
As he wished, Rashta would present their fake parents with their new status to the nobility and show everywhere her good relationship with her parents.
