Chapter 76 – Revival

The preceding generation’s former Duchess had a good sense of reason and deep foundation of knowledge since she was a child. Moreover, considering Diana’s story, Charlotte would understand Diana. Since she lost her parents at a young age, she would have grown up faster.

“But what’s so sudden?”

“Charlotte.”

Charlotte turned her head at Diana’s stern words. Her blue eyes were undoubtedly the same as the Duchess of the fleet.

“I had a dream about my mother coming out. In my dreams, my mother taught me that I should be an adult now.”

“Yes, the Lady is going to have a ceremony soon.” Charlotte answered lovingly.

“It was not a dream, but it felt like my dead mother came. That’s why I cried.” Once again, Diana was thinking of taking advantage of the past.

“Perhaps… Isn’t your mother’s precious stuff in your father’s office?”

“The second row of cabinets, third column… There’s silver in there without any decorations, a sword? It’s the same that my mother always had.”

At that moment, Charlotte thought of it and stared at Diana in silence. It may not be exactly there, but indeed the first Duchess carried an undecorated dagger in silver. It was a legacy of the Tiers family. There was no way Diana knew it.

“My Lady, how?”

“It’s inherited from the Tiers. My mother took it out and told me to carry it with me.” Diana’s blue orbs stared at Charlotte’s quivering eyes. Charlotte felt dubious at the inexplicable mystery.

“Go find it now. If it’s really where I said it was, my mother came to my dream to help me.” It was her dignity and charisma that resembled her predecessors. Charlotte hastened toward the office of the former Duke of Carl, and a moment later, in Charlotte’s hand, who came back with a gasp, the dagger was held.

“It was exactly where you said it was.”

I have to. Diana looked at Charlotte with a calm look. She did not seem to be in the least surprised or agitated. “Mother told me that if I showed it, you would believe me. There’s a big crisis in Carl, and I have to stop it.”

“What? Oh my goodness.”

Diana stood up and took the thread from the dagger sheath brought by Charlotte and hung it on her neck. “My mother said that if I did this, Charlotte would trust and support me. You will all protect me on my mother’s behalf.”

There was a lump of emotion in Charlotte’s eyes. It was a legacy left by the Duchess of her predecessor, and now, Diana was using that past. “Charlotte, is that true?”
