The Villain Family’s New Daughter-In-Law - Chapter 154

ciel couldn’t stand still when Ahin showed goodwill with shining light blue eyes.

“The novel of Young Master Karhan was also wonderful. I was surprised that you were so passionate about playing the violin.”

Luciel softly smiled, and a tail come out from Ahin’s butt once again. It was a rich, orange-brown tail. To be honest, Luciel couldn’t help but care when she saw it gently shaking.

“……Excuse, Young Master.”

“Yes?”

“I’m sorry, but a tail seems to come out from your back….”

Luciel pondered whether or not to tell him, but decided to let him know. He usually hides, so it could be a secret.

“Whoa…….so-sorry. No, I mean, thank you.”

A blushing young boy quickly hid his tail, but soon two pointy and triangular ears popped out from his head.

It literally stole her gaze.

“Your ears are sticking out, too.”

“……Unh, I have been caught. Please, keep it a secret from others. It’s a family secret.”

Ahin, who quickly hid his ears, spoke softly to Luciel who nodded her head.

‘This person has a secret. Just like me.’

“I will, Young Master. Be careful.”

As if relieved by Luciel’s words, Ahin exhaled a calming sigh.

If it became known to the public that the Duke of Karhan was a member of the Suin, there was a risk that the trust it had built up with the humans would be destroyed.

(Note: Suin is werebeast, beast people, and so on. In snake family we use werebeast, but here I will use Suin.)

But more than that, Ahin developed a pure liking for the soft-looking girl in front of him.

Suin instinctively pops out their ears and tails when they feel intimacy or likability. Until now, he had never done that in front of anyone. This child had a unique pure energy that disarmed her opponents.

Unlike any other Bellstein.

“I hope to see you again someday.”

“You mean you want to be friends? I’m in trouble now because my husband cares a lot. Maybe eight years from now.”

Luciel smiled like that and hurried away. At those words, Ahin muttered with a feeling of being straight out dumped.

“Even becoming a friend is difficult……8 years.”

Luciel got out of the cluttered outdoor garden and sat on a bench alone, immersed in thought.

The Marquise is gone, but anxiety still lurks.

Even if she didn’t seem completely convinced, she seemed to harbor suspicions that Luciel was the Crystal Fairy.

It was inevitable that she would soon be completely found out.

Then there is only one thing to do. The Marquise and the Prince must be prevented from completing the sword.

‘If she’s gathering twelve sacrifices to complete the sword, there’s no way of knowing what is going on right now. Could there have been any clues in the past?’

Luciel looked back at the past and recalled what the prince had said about his mother.

‘Because she’s still alive to me.’

Like she’s alive…….

Could it be that the Queen could be resurrected when the sword was completed?

However, even if the sword was completed with twelve jewels in the past, the Queen’s resurrection was not accomplished.

Soliaphe looked around and approached Luciel.

“By the way, where did Kizef go?”

“Ah……It felt like he was leaving when I was talking with Princess Claudia earlier.”

Luciel eagerly looked around to find Kizef. Then again, Prince Reynold was nowhere to be seen. The two don’t seem to be close enough to talk separately, so what’s going on?

Around that time, Kizef returned to his seat.

“Kizef, where have you been?”

“To wash my face.”

Somehow, his face was moist. Kizef’s bloody eyes slightly rolled and he asked.

“While I was away, did someone talk to you?”

“Huh? Of course, not.”

If she told him Young Master Karhan came to talk with her, he would swing his fists first without hearing a word. Luciel took the lead and told her family.

“Let’s go back now.”

“Let’s go.”

The other nobles seemed to go to the banquet hall to further enjoy the party, but the Bellsteins hurriedly climbed into the prepared carriage through the open-air garden.

As the carriage door closed, the Duke asked Luciel.

“Luciel, the shield magic has been used. What happened to you?”

“Oh……can you tell? Then it wasn’t really a dream. I think the Marquise cast an illusion on me.”

“Illusion?”

Luciel confided about what she had dreamed and what it was about. The Duke’s face, which was listening to it, began to distort more and more.

So did Soliaphe’s and Kizef’s.

“How dare she do such when all of us were present?”

The Duke clenched his fist and gritted his teeth.

“But Dad’s shield protected me, Grandma’s amulet also did it. Because I was with all my family and inside the Imperial Palace, she would not have been able to move quickly.”

Soliaphe, who nodded her head at Luciel’s words, said as well.

“But that woman, she is so creepy.”

“Maybe she has something to do with the prince, I don’t know. I’m still not sure if they were in contact.”

“I will also plant more spies in the Imperial Palace to keep an eye on the prince.”

As she nodded her head at the Duke’s words, Luciel said.

“The most important thing would be to find the true home of Baluk. Penelope took the bait, so we’ll have to wait and see.”

Kizef, who was silently listening to the story, grabbed Luciel’s hand.

“Don’t worry too much.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

It was a literature salon filled with pressure, but it had finally finished.

Max’s glass crafts were also properly imprinted on the Empress and could be widely publicized through video balls.

Do I just have to wait for the results to come out?

I was kind of nervous, but at the same time, my drowsy eyes grew heavy again.

‘Oh, I completely forgot.’

There was a problem that had to be solved first. Cicline’s mana nutrients weren’t working properly, so we need to find a way to do that.

Luciel, who was holding back sleep while pouring out a yawn, went through the pink strawberry bag. She was about to pull out a piece of paper with instructions on how to make mana supplements, but she was so relieved of all the tension that she fell asleep with her hand in the bag.

“……Yawn……I need to find a way to mix……hm.”

And there was no memory after that.

Eventually, when Luciel woke up the next morning, she was in a cozy bed. As she took off the blanket, Luciel jumped to her feet.

“……What should I do, I fell asleep!”

She should have slept after thinking about the answer to the mana supplement, but she couldn’t get over her sleep. Luciel wore soft slippers and walked back and forth around the room like a puppy.

A knock was heard as if they had heard Luciel’s rattling sound.

“……Rose?”

“It’s me, Luciel. Can I enter the room?”

It was Kizef’s voice. Luciel walked over and opened the door with a click.

Kizef had dark circles in his eyes from staying up all night, and he looked very tired. He was like a man who didn’t close his eyes for even a minute.

As Kizef scrambled closer, he held a piece of paper in Luciel’s hand.

“Take this and go down to the dining hall to eat first.”

“……Wait a minute, you haven’t slept all night?”

Instead of answering, Kizef nodded his head lightly.

“Hey, why didn’t you sleep? Hurry up and go to sleep.”

“Just. I can’t sleep.”

Luciel took Kizef’s arm, who was a lot taller, and tried to take him to his room, but he didn’t even budge.

‘Ugh……What kind of thirteen-year-old is this strong?’

Even if three Luciels came and pulled him, it didn’t seem like he would ever move. She tried pushing and pulling Kizef, but when he didn’t move, Luciel gave up with a tired ‘Phew’.

Kizef was full of tiredness and languor, but his eyes were focused on the cute little girl by his side.

Then he fell flat down on Luciel’s bed. Her cozy and warm scent poured into his sleep.

And……he fell asleep in three seconds.

“……What, why are you sleeping here?”

Luciel muttered like that and then opened the paper that Kizef had given her.

In there was written what Luciel wanted. There were other ways to try to formulate mana supplements.

[It turns out that in a foreign country where herbal medicine has developed across the continent, there is a method called fumigation, in which herbs are steamed or cooked with smoke.

This morning, while I was eating exotic steam-based dishes made by the chef, I suddenly thought of it, so I inquired about it.]

‘Yes, there was this.’

Now a memory clearly came to mind.

It was after the arrival of a book on herbal medicine from a small country called Gaon that fumigation was introduced to the Empire, probably after Cicline had become an Imperial Pharmacist.

So, at that time, Cicline knew about fumigation and developed the drug in that way. That was the piece that Luciel missed.

I was very fortunate that Kizef thought about it and found it in her instead.

‘By the way, Kizef, how did you know I was thinking about this? Ah…….’

Maybe it was Kizef who saw her asleep yesterday while looking through the paper. Luciel was both grateful and sorry that he had to stay up all night worrying about it.

‘Kizef…….’

Her crimson eyes grew dazzlingly large, and jewels were forming in the air.

Topaz and Emeralds.

And Spinel.

‘Did you not sleep because of me? Thanks, Kizef. Good night.’

Luciel put a blanket on Kizef, who had quickly fallen asleep, hurriedly wrote a letter to Cicline, and went outside.

Then, as if she had been waiting, Rose approached and said,

“Lady, it is said that Princess Claudia is visiting in the afternoon. Young Lady Dana from Marques Marande and Young Lady Marsha from Count Turenne will also be visiting.”

“Ah……Yes. Okay. Rather, Rose, I have a favor. Can you deliver a letter for me?”

“Yes, of course. Where shall I deliver it?”

“To Cicline Renny, who is preparing for the Imperial Pharmacist exam.”

“All right, leave it to me. It’s urgent, isn’t it?”

Luciel nodded her head.

“Then it would be better to call a fast carriage and send it directly so that it can be delivered within an hour.”

“Yes, I’d like it to be sent as soon as possible because we don’t have much time.”

After delivering the letter through the carriage, Luciel sat down on the sofa with peace of mind.

‘Thanks to Kizef, I found a way, but now the rest is up to Cicline. I wish you all the best!’

As Luciel sighed, butler Duncan said.

“Little Madam, are you awake now? Today, as a special dish, steamed foreign food is prepared, would you like to go to the dining hall?”

“Yes!”

Luciel vigorously nodded her head. She immediately followed the butler Duncan to the dining room when Ellington called her.

“Little Madam, I have something to tell you…….”

At the same time, Louivid also came down to the parlor and said:

“I have something to say, too. But I’m sure you’re hungry, so you should eat first.”

“Yes.”

“No, it’ll only take five minutes…….”

“Tsk Tsk, don’t touch my child while she’s eating.”

“……Yes. Little Madam, I will tell you after dinner.”

Ellington wanted to report quickly, so his mouth was itching, but he held it because the Duke wouldn’t let it go if he didn’t let Luciel eat in peace.

“I will go see you first after eating.”
