Chapter 17

Leticia realized something after some time.

Come to think of it, there was a similar case in the world of knights.

There was an epic story in the Count’s library.

<arthur’s white=”” hands.=””></arthur’s>

Lord Arthur was a very ugly-faced knight.

But with his hands as fine as his, no one dared to hurt him.

No one talked about it either.

Lord Arthur’s white and pretty hands were a symbol of strong force and fear.

The sight of the gloves embroidered in his pair of hands made everyone shudder with fear.

“Maybe that’s what it means.”

How can they say that only his hands are so white and pretty when he’s an ugly monster. It’s really bizarre to imagine that incongruity.

In Erden’s view, his soft hands may feel even more gross.

…That was the interpretation that Leticia struggled to think about.

This makes sense. But Leticia wasn’t entirely convinced.

“Should I take a look at the other parts?”

It occurred to her that she had to do so in order to prove her hypothesis clearly.

But…

“Do you think you can handle it?”

Erden’s voice seemed to be heard.

“Then shall we take a peek at the forearm? Or ankle? Forehead?”

Leticia kept glancing at Erden, who was standing beside her as usual

Maybe there’s a loophole in the clothes.

While snooping around like that, the ceremony ended.

“With this, both families fulfilled their promise from 10 years ago.”

The priest’s proclamation was heard.

In the end, it was over after only thinking about the hands.

In a quiet atmosphere, the people who had kept their mouths shut began to express their appreciation of the ceremony in unison.

Through the passageway connected to the chapel, servants of the castle were seen carrying a huge barrel of liquor.

They were preparing for the reception.

Casaro, the cook, came back with a big smile.

“You’ve never had a feast in the North before, have you? I baked a cake as big as our castle. I’ll set it up nicely, so say greetings to your ancestors.”

In the basement of a castle or a historic mansion, there is a mortuary to honor the ancestors of the family.

If they have important matters such as marriage, childbirth, or appointment of government officials, they should visit there. It is the duty of the state to inform its ancestors about the news.

But Erden did not go right away and asked first.

“Wife, do you have any other plans?”

“Ha, that’s…”

We just finished our wedding, so there can’t be any other plans.

“Then give me a moment.”

He looked back at the grandmothers after saying so.

“We have something to tell her, first right now.”

“Yes, Lord, Madame.”

The three grandmas answered readily.

What is it?

Leticia followed in his footsteps, wondering.

“What are you going to talk about?”

“Well, it’s not that I have something to say, but that I have something to show. Please take a look.”

Erden’s answer fanned more and more questions.

‘What are you going to show me?

Leticia diligently went down the stairs.

The noise grew farther and farther away.

When he opened the underground door and went down, there was already a reverent atmosphere.

The basement is expected to be damp and edgy.

But this was different, the basement was like a mysterious cave with good lighting.

The light was similar to natural light that poured down from the ceiling, it was because of some strange bead.

The family’s ancestors were enshrined in the lightest spot. Erden took Leticia before him.

“Elias and Erden, son of Leonora, have married Miss Leticia, daughter of the Grey family.”

Then he went on to say,
