I Thought I Didn’t Have Long To Live! - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 ( Ill Cut Off This Family! )

Lariette has so far faced physical violence so far that it is hard to count. She was discriminated against, even though she lived her life as a noble princess.

The Duke of Blanche often gave her harsh words, but it was only on the day she left the Dukes that he touched her directly. It was also the reason he believed he was a very good father.

So, for the first time in her life, Lariette was punched properly by someone, and she was quite shocked that person was her brother.

In the first place, it was the least courtesy and belief for wizards to compete with each other with magic. However, Raon laughed with satisfaction.

The thrill from her brother for the first time made her whole body heat up. That arrogant Lariette couldnt even raise her head and sat on the floor moaning.

Lariette grabbed her stinging cheek and barely caught her breath.

It was a pain that was incomparable to being beaten by her father. It throbbed as if she was about to collapse, and her whole face became hot in an instant.

A fire burned in her heart, hotter than her face. She wanted to use magic to break his limbs right away.

But this was the Palace. That crazy guy didnt seem to even care, but it was a place where you shouldnt be arguing.

Youre crazy.

Lariette sighed heavily and raised her head to look at Raon.

Until just now, I was embarrassed to shake my fist in a place where everyone could see, while mentioning Blanches image.

Do you want another punch? Then tell me.

Raon answered arrogantly, soaked in the pleasure of victory. The people who chattered from afar didnt care about her.

Lariette also thought that her familys honor was not something she would protect. But I didnt want to create such a scandal.

Prince Blanche punched Princess Blanche in the face.

As long as these rumors circulated in the Imperial Family, it would have been an instant to reach Asrazans ears.

Even if everyone else knew, she didnt want to be found out.

I thought it was a waste of time to show only the bright side, and above all, it was shameful for Asrazan to know the dirty inside of this house.

But there was no way I could go on without doing anything like this.

People who saw the woman fall down after being punched were gradually approaching. Both Raon and Larriet were well-known faces, so it would be soon before they were revealed.

So Lariette hurriedly got up. Then Raon trembled as if thinking she was going to use magic.

The family is great

What?

Raon asked dumbly at the sudden mumble. And Lariette immediately kicked his leg.

-I cut it off!

Bam!

Aww!!!

Raon, who had not expected that she would launch a physical attack, was properly hit in the crotch and fell to the floor. It sounded like something exploded.

His appearance was so pathetic that Lariette put arsenic on her lips. Although her face was red from the bruises, her attitude was still confident.

I dont think I would have used it anyway.

Lariette whispered slowly next to Raon and then passed him by.

Hearing the insult, Raon ran wild on the road, but he did not come after her, apparently aware of his surroundings.

So Lariette hurriedly left the Imperial Palace. She ran away quickly, fearing that someone might recognize her and spread rumors about her.

* * *

The place where Lariette rode another carriage was headed to the city center of the capital.

When she got out of the carriage, one of her cheeks was swollen.

Fortunately, it didnt look like there was a broken bone, but it was swelling like this, it was only for a moment. Therefore, she wanted to get healed quickly before returning to the mansion.

She hurried to the detention center and was escorted to a high-end drawing room. It was because the clothes worn were so expensive.

Oh my gosh, welcome. Shall I call the Advanced Healing Wizard right away? I have a friend waiting just in time!

The staff bent over and shuddered at Lariette. Mainly high-ranking nobles would summon priests to be healed, so this was a good opportunity for him after a long absence.

However, Lariette soon became perplexed. She didnt have much money on her hand. However, it was impossible to put it in Kandels name or Blanches name.

So she carefully opened her pocket and took out the jewels she had. The staffs eyes narrowed as they checked the size of the jewel.

Is this impossible?

Advanced healers are difficult. If you wish, you can claim it from the family, but

No, thats difficult.

As Lariette shook her head resolutely, the attitude of the staff quickly became unkind. They thought she was a high-ranking aristocrat, but now they thought she was the concubine of a high-ranking aristocrat.

Well, then Ill call a healer who can heal this. Im out right now, so you will have to wait a bit.

I get it. Ill wait.

If thats the case, go to the small room over there and wait. I have to use this room when other guests come here.

Okay.

It was a rude attitude, but Lariette held back the displeasure and responded calmly. It was because she knew that she had nothing to offer unless she had a family or money.

She was led back to a room small enough to be called shabby. Then she sat in an uncomfortable chair and waited for a long time.

It was several hours after the healing wizard arrived. Lariette who was just feeling the limit of her patience, so she was glad to see the healing wizard who had arrived.

However, the healing wizard approached her with a sullen expression.

Are you the guest?

Yes, I dont have time, so please heal me quickly.

Its not up to me-.

The woman, who appeared to be in her late twenties, answered with a sarcastic tone and reached out to Lariette. And she brought it to her wounds without consideration.

Ugh.

The bone is cracked.

As Lariette moaned, the woman answered indifferently and immediately radiated a healing light. The faintly light gradually penetrated Lariettes face.

After about five minutes, the woman slowly removed her hand. There was still swelling on Lariettes face.

So Lariette opened her mouth with a bewildered face.

Already?

This is my end. If you want a better effect, you should have called a high healer or a priest.

The woman grunted and stood up. The money had already been received in advance, so there was no need to hesitate to leave.

Lariette looked at the back of the wizard as she left with a bewildered expression.

If she had healed herself, it was a wound she was confident of healing in an instant. If I had done so, I would have cured it perfectly by touching it for a while.

No matter how low she was, she never imagined that her strength would be this weaks. It was also due to getting used to the divine power of Doha.

When I looked in the mirror, I saw a much better face than before. However, Asrahan, who was well versed in reading the mood, seemed to notice it quickly.

Lariette felt the need for further action and set out on the road. Suddenly, darkness fell outside.

But there was no money to do anything. There was only money left to spend to go to the mansion.

Lariette chewed her lower lip and regretted having to bring her own pocket.

And then, a voice she had heard from somewhere called her.

Oh my, lady?

Madame Charbet?

It was Madame Charbet, the owner of Artiz. Wearing a beautifully decorated bonnet, she opened her eyes and glanced at Lariette.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

What are you doing here alone at this hour Oh, did you hurt your face?

Lariette hurriedly covered her cheek with her hand in embarrassment. It didnt change anything, but it was an instinctive action.

Madame Charbet looked at her like that and understood the situation.

A young laxy walking alone on the street with anxious eyes, an injured face. A roughly predictable scenario was drawn up in her mind.

Would you like to visit my boutique for a while? A nice accessory just arrived, and thanks to that, a lot of dresses were sold, so Ill give it to you as a service.

Madame Charbet smiled softly and suggested. Lariette nodded quietly.

The lights were turned off as if the boutique had already closed. Madame Charbet lit the fire slowly, saying not to worry.

How about this? Its new, and its popular.

She brought colorful accessories and put them on Lariettes head. Most of them were ornaments that covered part of the face over the head.

At that warm consideration, Lariette was about to burst into tears.

For half a day, she forcibly suppressed the rising shame and sadness. Even if she felt unfair and sad, nothing could be resolved, so she just closed her eyes and ignored her emotions.

However, when she faced Madame Charbets kindness, the sadness she had suppressed at the best came back again. It was a warmth she had never received from her mother.

I think this would be the best decoration. Hmmm, and shall we change the hairstyle a little?

Madame Charbet skillfully trimmed Lariettes hair.

Her swollen face was covered up quite a bit when her beautifully curving pink hair was turned to one side. At first glance, it was almost invisible.

Really Thank you so much, Madame.

What is it, Lady Blanche?

At the sudden change of title, Lariette opened her eyes wide and looked at Madame Charbet. Then she gently rolled her eyes and smiled.

I havent met you so far, so I didnt know you. Now its time to say hello.

Finally, she continued, placing the decoration on Lariettes head.

As Madame Charbet said, she and Lariette had never met face to face. Because she was on the Princess side, the party did not overlap.

Madame Charbet and the Princess had a close relationship they had known for a long time, while the Princess and Blanche did not get along well. It was because Raon was the Princesss former fiance.

After meeting Raon a few times, the Princess broke up with him at once. The reason was quite predictable without even having to ask.

Lariette and the Princess were only face-to-face acquaintances, but in any case, their relationship was awkward since Lariette was Raons younger sister.

So, implicitly, Lariette did not attend the same party as her. Because she didnt want to see them squirming around for nothing.

Im no longer Blanche. Could you please call me Lariette?

Oh, thats right.

Despite the questionable content, Madame Charbet answered without asking any further questions. She seemed to feel the age of surviving in the social world for a long time.

After that, Lariette and Madame Charbet had an amicable conversation.

Madame Charbet called a carriage to return Lariette to the mansion, and Lariette thanked her again and again.

At that polite attitude, Madame Charbet smiled gracefully and promised the next meeting.

After giving her perfect styling tips, Lariette set off in a carriage.

* * *

It was already midnight when she arrived at the Duke of Kandels residence.

When Lariette arrived at the mansion, a commotion broke out. The attendants announced her arrival in a hurry, and in an instant, Halstein came down the stairs.

Lady Lariette! Are you okay?!

Halstein, Im sorry Im late.

Lariette smiled awkwardly and apologized. It was late so I thought most of them were sleeping, but they were all awake.

As if they were looking for her, the attendants sent a telegram to someone saying,Come back now the lady has arrived.

Halstein breathed a sigh of relief after quickly confirming that she was safe. She didnt know how worried he was if something was going to happen.

Fortunately, Lariette was in a good state, with only a slight change in style from usual. At that, Halstein raised his eyebrows and asked her a question.

Where have you been? I was very worried.

Ah that is.

Just as she was about to make an excuse, a loud footsteps sounded on the stairs. Lariette and Halstein looked at the stairs at the same time.

And soon, she found Asrazan, who was waving the hem of his black coat and hurriedly moving.

Lariette.

Asrazan, still in his outdoor clothes, called her name with a boiling voice.

Lariette swallowed her saliva without realizing it and met his gaze.

One step, one step. Every time he approached me, my heart pounded and trembled. My heart pounded at the thought that I might be caught.

Asrazan, Im sorry. It was too late.

Are there any injuries?

At the sudden question, Lariettes heart sank and came up with an unexpected question. He may not know and ask, but it was because it was a key word.

She smiled softly and quickly lied.

Absolutely. My conversation with my brother, whom I havent seen in a long time, has gotten a bit long. And when I went shopping at the boutique without realizing the passing of time, it was already too late. Sorry.

A boutique, really?

Yes. I bought this, hehe.

Lariette played the role of an ignorant noble lady with a clever smile. In front of him, I wanted to be an immature woman rather than a woman with a poor family history.

Asrazan looked at her without any bitterness in spite of the situation that could make him angry. He had an expressionless expression as usual, but his blue eyes were full of relief.

Next time, go ahead and say it.

Yes I will.

I was worried.

Asrazan spoke softly in a serious voice. The way he gently lowered his black eyelashes was even heartbreaking.

To say that you were worried with that face would break my heart! Lariette was moved by his change and looked at him with twinkling eyes.

Cough!

Just then, a small coughing sound came out of her lips. She seemed to have a cold because she had been walking for a long time at night.

Asrazan furrowed his eyebrows and took a step closer to Lariette. He reached out towards her.

Lariette trembled, fearing that he might notice my condition by touching her hair. But his hand was directed at the shawl that was draped over her shoulder, not the hair.

Asrazan draped the slightly lowered shawl tightly and met Lariettes eyes. His face suddenly came closer.

His perfect face was visible in front of her, and Lariettes heart raced with him.

Sharp torn eyes, high nose, smooth skin And finally, when his moist lips came into her eyes, her face turned red.

Lariette.

Asrazan moved her face closer to him and opened his mouth. It was a scene that seemed to be kissing at any moment.

Thump, Thump, Thump

Lariette looked at his subtly sunken blue eyes as if possessed. And Asrazan spoke slowly.

Who is it?

Before she knew it, his hand had removed Lariettes hair.

Who dares to touch your face.

I could hear the grinding of my teeth. The sentence flashed in the blue eyes of the madness that seemed to cut off the body at any moment.
