The Predator’s Contract Partner - Chapter 224: Tpcp 224

Chapter 224: Tpcp 224

“Yes. Please do me this favor.”

The second request was also not a difficult request by her standards. So Ilione obediently accepted it.

“Then… … . Let me recommend a book. I had originally said I would recommend a book from the library today.”

“Ah… … . You did, indeed. You were serious?”

At the luncheon, Elisha offered to recommend a book to Ilione. So she suggested they go to the library together. She thought that the book tale was just an excuse she had made up to have a conversation.

“Sure. There is a book you must read.”

Elisha took a book from the shelf nearby and handed it to Ilione.

“It’s a research book on the latest treatment for psychosis. This is very good content.”

“Is that so?”

Ilione skimmed through the contents.

“Yes, applying a certain amount of shock to the patient’s body. Putting it in ice water for more than two or three hours. Sometimes it is a training method to correct the mind by giving a uniform shock through a certain medium.”

Ilione understood what she was saying and grinned.

“Then I guess I’ll have to study for Jewel who is sick again. With special affection, I must propose a very intensive treatment.”

“Propose? Who needs permission to treat an ill person? All you have to do is tell the doctor separately.”

Ilione was very pleased by Elisha’s answer. They made eye contact and smiled softly.

“As expected, we are on the same page.”

This treatment would also be very useful for Carola. Knowing that, the smiles of the two women deepened even more.

The members of the imperial family stayed for a few days and strengthened their relationship with each other. They drink tea during the day. The next day, they hunted in the forest near the Duke’s house. The day after that, a famous organist performed. They even went on picnics.

Even during that time, Carola was punished, locked up in a coffin without being able to drink a drop of water, and no one spoke about her.

When Carola fell from power, naturally, Elisha took over as the family’s matriarch.

‘It’s so amazing. After something like that happened, you interacted with each other even more proudly.’

Elisha understood the physiology of those in power.

Carola and Jewel’s adultery case.

This won’t cause any problems. Peace will continue in the future. Seemingly shallow facades and pleasantries had deep meanings. These social events were the way they exchanged that tacit agreement.

And only by being able to understand and respond to such symbols accurately could she serve as the hostess of the Cartier family. In her last life, she worked as a servant for the Cartier family. It wasn’t difficult for her to respond, having painfully had to grow up and learn about this physiology through experience.

Finally, the day came for the members of the imperial royal family to leave.

“Lady Elisha. I really had a great time thanks to Lady while I was here. Please come to the imperial palace often.”

The Empress spoke softly. Elisha smiled and replied she would.

A carriage to carry the members of the royal family arrived. The emperor first exchanged greetings with Lucerne. And when Elisha came within a short distance, he whispered:

“Outstanding job again this time.”

Her body stiffened.

“It seems that the general’s new wife has a talent for being a troubleshooter. I’ve been watching Jewel for a long time, too.”

Elisha almost lost control of her expression for a moment. She recalled the emperor’s reputation she had overheard during her past life. Over the next few years, the emperor had been referred to as Jewel’s exemplary adoptive father and a man who loved his family.

‘After all, the people in the imperial family are not all normal people.’

The Cartier family were poisonous vipers. But the imperial family’s wild beasts were also formidable. It occurred to her the reason the emperor watched over Jewel and raised him well was because of justification.

“Lady Elisha. When can we see each other again?”

Yepnen was almost in tears as if he was sad about parting with her. Elisha tried to ignore her surprise and lowered her body.

“See you again, prince.”Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)

“Yes. Lady Elisha is so wonderful! You’re an incredible person.”

Elisha’s cheeks grew red. Even Yepnen looked a little different now. When the emperor scolded Jewel, did Yepnen, who was crying next to him, really know nothing? How much did he know? How far?

At that time, Lucerne approached.

“Come here, Elisha.”

She walked towards him. Yepnen watched her with a wistful look in his eyes as he struggled to hold back his tears. The Empress coaxed Yepnen into her carriage.

“Now he’s enchanted too.”

Elisha frowned in bewilderment and looked at Lucerne.

“What do you mean?”

“You’re seducing people from the royal family. I’m being generous in letting you out like this in broad daylight.”

She wondered if this man was crazy. She ignored those words and left first.
