Chapter 84 (2/2)

“When you think that Madam Isadora suggested naming the hotel Lara’s Garden…with that solemn face of hers, hehehe!

“Stop it, Konny.”

“I heard she also has businesses in the Empire’s weapon and shield industry. Don’t tell me the sign of the store is ‘Protect Lara’…”

“Konny!”

“Hehehehe!”

When she stood blankly, looking at the huge hotel, she suddenly remembered what Sebastian had said. Hautean was too small, so Isadora wanted to move headquarters to the Empire, but she would not move because Lara was in Hautean.

“I miss her.”

Lara muttered.

If Isadora was here, she would not care whether there was a demon in Prince Sidhar’s body or not, she would just grab him by the collar, slap him, and tell him not to bother her daughter.

“As you ordered, I have purchased a diamond mine that is filled with high-quality diamonds. When you have time, I will bring you there.”

“What? Already?”

“Was it Master Valentine? I heard he wanted to open a pharmaceutical store. I did not know how large he wanted it to be though, so I prepared by size.”

“Oh… Yes.”

“We left the top floor empty for you, so you can use it as much as you want.”

“Can I do that?”

“Hahaha! It’s your house. Why are you asking for permission? Let’s go!”

The general manager was energetic, yet elegant and stylish. Isadora has opened many businesses, yet she never shows up in person, only sending her representative. So the manager said he wanted to show what he’s got. He held Lara’s hand and led her into the hotel.

“Milady is here!”

The uniformed guards in front of the main gate greeted her with a nice smile. As she entered the hall that was shining all the way to the floor, silver rays gushed out of the chandelier above her head. All the busy workers stopped walking and looked at Lara with curiosity.

“This is not right.”

Lara mumbled. She was wearing dusty travel clothes, leather boots, and thick padded clothes wrapped around her whole body. Her hair was messy and she could not even wash her face properly on that day.

What? Is she really the heiress?

She felt like she was hearing such a murmur from somewhere.

As soon as Lara arrived at the hotel, she asked for Prince Sidhar to be detained in a safe place. The general manager told her not to worry and took him to the mercenary wolves’ quarters.

“About 200 wolves are working in Dandelion.”

“That many?”

“There are more mercenaries who are not affiliated with the trading company. It’s already late today so I will leave him like that for now and contact the Imperial Palace tomorrow.”

“I will do that.”

Since Demian said he would bring Acerus, Lara was going to wait for him.

“Why did mother never tell me about this? I don’t think even my exiled father knew how much money mother had.”

“Well. If I were Madam Isadora, I wouldn’t tell you about it.”

“In case I would be arrogant?”

“No, in case it would be dangerous for you.”

The general manager smiled and winked. The top floor of the hotel that Lara would use was a special room for Isadora who would someday visit the Empire. The room was only opened when Sebastian sometimes stopped by the Empire.

“Milady, have you had dinner?”

“No, I’m hungry.”

“Then, please wait a little bit.”

The general manager walked quickly out of the drawing-room. Despite how big his strides were and how fast each of his steps was, it was amusing how there was barely a sound of a footstep.

“Milady.”

“Yeah?”

“You’d better take a shower. You smell like a shoe.”

Shocked by Konny’s criticism, Lara entered the bathroom and took a bath. When she was done, a splendid dinner was prepared in the drawing-room. All of them were Lara’s favorites. Especially the soft lamb steak and grilled vegetables that she always ate in Hautean.

“My mother…”

“Pardon?”

“Nothing.”

The bridge of her nose tingled. Her body was now 20 years old and her soul was much older than that, but after a month of leaving home, Lara was going to cry because of how much she missed her mother. She quickly picked up the fork and knife to swallow the tears that almost came out of her eyes.
