Chapter 276 “Major event!” (part one)
The enerals and officials were already going at it Naturally, old housekeeper Marde would be at the core of the preparation work Before the sun was even up for thedawn, this faithful follower had sent a dozen men out for procurement Despite the fact that the shops were still closed, it didn't e event Undeterred by anything, the henchmen's did what they must; knock on the door till the sleepy owners were awake so they can explain their purpose
Du Wei's prestige in the northas high to begin with After hearing the Duke's plan to get hitched, there were no complaints whatsoever for the disturbance
By early ed had spread like wildfire
With the castle decorated and the guards re-unifor about through the castle grounds, especially the ballroom
But of course, while there are those genuinely happy for the event, there are bound to be some unhappy faces
After hearing the explosive news, the members of the Lister Household immediately ran to report this to the Marquise
Recently Mrs Lister rarely saw Du Wei Firstly was because of how busy Du Wei was, secondly was due to her secret being discovered If anyone else finds out, the Lister Household will be finished so how can she not be worried? Inexplicably, she began to avoid Du Wei whenever possible out of fear
It's just that today's sudden news of Du Wei getting engaged hit her like a thunderbolt Fro vanished under this immense pressure
“He's going to be engaged, with that e woman?” Mrs Lister's beautiful face was so coness, sorrow, and all sorts of strange flavor Suddenly standing up, she declares: “No! If we don't do so now then ill truly have no chance!”
In the rooel Unlike her sister, Angel's face was el had seldo for distance will cal maiden's heart… But that only applies if the person in question can let go of their feelings If they couldn't, the issue will reach a point where even a dozen hands cannot pull them out of it
If Angel had been living far away frootten this young crush But she wasn't, she's been living in the same castle as him Day in and day out, the servants would boast about the young duke around her until Du Wei beca an entire ar into ene the prairie natives to yield and so and so on……
Think about it, Angel's a youngher first love with a powerful attachet their first love after being away from that person, but day after day, her e of Du Wei, the perfect knight in shi+ning armor……
At this point, Du Wei was no longer just a crush to Angel; it'sthe lines of perfection that could only be found in a hero within the story books
So, how can you expect a et such a perfect man?
Coel's reaction ay simpler: sadness on her face and teary red eyes that were close to dripping down
Looking at her sister, Mrs Lister sighs and began to console her: ”Angel, I know your heart is hurting… But this is so I had anticipated, I just didn't expect it to come so soon”
Suddenly lifting her head, Angel stares at her elder sister like she couldn't recognize the woiven up yet? You still want to marry him?”
In return, Mrs Lister reveals a look of anxiousness: ”You should understand, omen of the Lister House are like this from birth”
After that, she sighs and loosened her arht, the Marquise speaks in a cale and the fact that Du Wei likes her I also speculated that he would likely h she's not a noble, I fear her background isn't lower than ours”
“But now he's already engaged!” Angel cries out in a hoarse voice: “You! Elder sister! Considering your status, you don't intend to be the Duke's…”
She's after all a girl from a wealthy family When it came to the final part, she finally stopped
“Huh her voice wasn't loud, Mrs Lister's tone sounded adamant: ”Even if not his main ith the title of duchess, I must marry him!”
She finally turns around to face Angel: “You ht with you, it's just, I've told you before: whenever a man likes a woman, there are only two reasons First is that the ly or beautiful, clever or foolish, he simply likes her! For exaory And you, Angel, attempted to fit into his heart several ti He doesn't like you Now, the second kind is the type of wohi the latter: I'm useful to hiainst that Vivian, but I will let hiive hi as this reason catches his eye, he will be tempted”
Speaking up to here, Mrs Lister lowers her head and began to ht and a smile appeared: ”H engaged come so suddenly… My heart was a little confused, but now that I've calo I heard he was afraid of returning to the capital for who kno hters To avoid attracting tooharassed It's a good idea I admit… Hmm, can't be that siht refuse those nobles To be able to force hied so hastily…”
At this part Mrs Lister's eye brightened, but her expression became even more worrisoe? H the Royal House won't be easy Then that ht woman to dissuade the Royal Family from the idea!”
If Du Wei and Philip were to be present during the Marquise's reflective analysis, the tould no doubt shower her with admiration Indeed, Lan Lister truly deserves to be the supporting pillar of the powerful Lister Household Catching only the slightest clue, she es to deduce the overall plan
Showing a gliel
“El-elder sister” A faint hint of unease crept into Angel for her sister's eye looked strange, as if…
“Angel, I can’t keep risking things” The voice coinally wanted to take things slowly and step by step lure Du Wei to ent ent methods Du Wei is about to return to the capital If by then the Regent forces hihter of the Lister House, can only beco I can s! Though the possibility isn't high, I can't risk it Now it seems, I can only… Only resort to special means!”
After that, Mrs Lister beca and order soredients for store I'll write the ingredients down for you on paper Also, the special e brought fro that to me too with a bucket, I have use for it”
“Elder sister?” Angel was puzzled and asked again
Against her objection, Mrs Lister suddenly raises her voice and shouted: ”Go now!!”
In less than two hours, everything Mrs Lister requested was laid before her Angel didn't understand why these ingredients were needed Looking over thespecial, just so heavy”
Originally Angel still had soic herbalist Inside the castle, what drug can't they find? But when she asked why, her sister strictly forbid it
At her request, two White Feather Knights brought over a bucket of wine This as brewed on the islands located in the Southeastern Sea Though the level of culture in that part of the world were far below that of the Roland continent, their brewing abilities were on another level Whether it was the flavor or s this type of wine very de in maritime trade, it's only natural the Lister House would rely on wine trading to make a fortune
