The Villain Family’s New Daughter-In-Law - Chapter 91

Unlike the relaxed movement of sitting with arms folded, Kizef rolled his red eyes in hostility toward Eres next to him.

It was literally the same as father-in-law. It was only then that I understood why mother called Kizef, Little Louis.

“Kizef, but why are you here?”

Luciel asked with surprised eyes, and when Gillard came in, Eres raised his hand.

“Teacher, there is an uninvited guest in class.”

Kizef countered.

“I’m here to learn too.”

Eres’s eyes narrowed and he began his sarcastic remarks.

“Does the magic genius really need to learn magic?”

“Only when there is a genius would a fool like you be aware of his skills.”

Kizef laughed at Eres.

“What? Who is the fool!?”

“Even though you’re a wizard belonging to the Tower, you can’t tell the difference between heaven and earth, and lost the magic battle to Luciel, right?”

“…What…”

With his mouth open, Eres looked at Luciel with resentment.

“How does he know that? Ah! Luciel, did you tell on me?”

“No.”

“Then who…”

Gillard’s beard flinched at the gaze of Eres, who turned his head to him.

“Did Teacher tell him?”

“…about that…”

“I’m really disappointed. How can you do this to me? If the rumor spreads around the tower, my life will be over.”

“I didn’t say anything to the tower, son!”

“…You told your grandson.”

Eres glanced at Kizef.

It’s annoying that he’s a handsome man, who’s a magic genius, his grandfather is Tower Master, and his father is a Duke.

The world was so unfair.

Oh, there’s one more. Although Luciel was still small and young, when she grows up, it was clear that she would be the best beauty of the empire.

‘Ah, I was told that I would lose if I was envious, but I think I have already lost.’

On the other hand, Kizef did not like Eres.

He heard that he was a rising star in the tower, and he was a pretty cute boy with spiky blue hair and with a charming dot under his eyes.

Besides, he called Luciel by her first name.

For that alone, the boy was already someone he couldn’t forgive in his heart.

Flames blazed in the eyes of the two boys and in the middle, Luciel turned to Gillard and asked with her eyes, ‘Are you okay with this?’

After class, Luciel let Eres and Kizef alone, growling at each other like dogs and cats, and asked Gillard.

“Grandpa, do you have time?”

“Of course, Luciel. Ah, the installation of the Shield Sealing Stone in your villa is complete.”

“Oh, really? So fast?”

“Yes, actually, it was a little overkill. Shield Sealing Stones are quite precious, but Kizef asked because he wanted to keep you safe.”

“Thank you so much.”

“Now, not even high-circle wizards will be able to enter the villa without your permission. It will be a space just for you.”

Luciel’s expression brightened up. She can make jewelry as safely as she wants by herself.

“What do you want to ask? Do you have a request for me?”

As expected, Grandpa Gillard was quick-witted. Luciel nodded and said.

“Thank you for installing the Shield Sealing Stone, but I have one more request. I want to meet the maker who made my wand.”

“You mean Rupdell? He lives in the demon realm, so he won’t come out to the human realm.”

“Then I will go.”

“That’s not okay. The Demon Realm is a very dangerous place for vulnerable humans.”

“…Grandpa.”

“Luciel, that’s the only request I will never be able to grant.”

“Yes, I got it.”

Faced with the resolute opposition of her grandfather, which she has had never seen before, Luciel was at a loss for words.

Gillard also wondered why Luciel wanted to meet Rupdell. He wanted to find out the reason to help in another way.

“For what reason are you doing this? Would you like to make another wand? If there is anything this grandpa can help with, I will.”

“Oh, I just have a few questions about my wand…It’s just that.”

“Then, Luciel. If you’d rather leave the wand alone with me, I’d be able to ask him for you.”

“…Oh it’s okay. I wanted to meet him in person and ask him.”

Luciel answered with a slight smirk.

She wasn’t too disappointed. Since Erika was still researching anyway, she didn’t know if she could figure out how to craft the jewelry into the wand.

But she worried a little because she thought it might have caused some discomfort to her grandfather.

“Grandpa, I am fine. Oh, by the way, come to visit my little fief next time. Alright?”

“Of course. If it’s to grow the wand, I think you can do it with your own strength.”

“Yes! I will.”

Looking at Luciel’s small back as she went her way, Gillard put on a bitter expression.

She is a cute daughter-in-law who is the apple of his eyes, but he didn’t know what would happen if he took her to such a dangerous place.

‘Moreover, if Luciel is from a real fairy bloodline…’

Gururu!

Finally, all the large gates under the wall of the Duke of Bellstein were opened.

The huge size and grandeur of the fortress with vivid flags of black dragons fluttering in every corner made viewers admire.

The carriages, which had moved to the magic transfer gate in advance and had been encamped in front of the castle gate since dawn, entered one by one. All of them were wagons of high-ranking families. There were also a few coats of arms of foreign royalty.

Originally, the East Building was a place to welcome guests, but due to the size of the reception, it was not possible to accommodate all guests.

Evelyn and Soliaphe opened up another palace after a discussion on what to do.

This banquet was entirely prepared by Soliaphe with Eva, and Evelyn made only a few comments.

“I’m glad you’re here.” (Soliaphe)

“Congratulations, Duchess of Bellstein.” (Guest)

Evelyn smiled at Soliaphe, who was wearing a black velvet dress and greeting the nobles, from afar. She was deeply satisfied with Soliaphe, who plays her role as a hostess from the banquet hall, to preparing food and serving guests.

“When she says she will do something, she gets it done, remarkably so.” (Evelyn)

“Soliaphe has always been diligent.” (Gillard)

Gillard complemented Evelyn’s words and bumped his white wine with her glass. When he found a group of old nobles among the visiting distinguished guests, he looked around.

“Honey, where did our granddaughter-in-law go? I can’t even see Kizef.”

“Because the kids were told to come out at a comfortable time. It’s a banquet for adults anyway, so they can come out slowly.”

“Well, that’s true but.”

Evelyn followed Gillard gaze and seemed to understand his mind.

“Are you doing this because you want to brag about your kids?”

“Shh, let me know when you see the kids later.”

“My my, okay.”

Gillard approached to greet the acquainted aristocrats.

* * *

Weddings ceremonies and receptions were completely different realms. If a wedding was a ceremony for just two people, a reception was a banquet for everyone.

So, there was no need to prepare for the reception. The adults took care of it, and Luciel was told to just greet some distinguished guests.

While going to the banquet hall, Luciel smiled at the Duke’s consideration, who told her to leave the private residence late and rest well if she was tired.

How many carriages had entered the city gate?

I heard from Rose that the new building they had built was also full of guests because the East wing, she had stayed in before coming to the private residence, was not enough to accommodate everyone.

It seems that Evelyn and Soliaphe had been preparing the banquet hall for several days. Luciel was also dazed by the busy atmosphere of Eva and all the servants of the Castle who were able to prepare for the banquet in only one week. It was amazing.

“Wow, is this really the Duke’s Castle?”

It was surprising that such a large social party was being held in that closed Bellstein Duchy, and that it was her own wedding reception.

The gardens, which would normally be quiet, were full of nobles taking a walk.

Seeing noble children of her age passing by with laughter, Luciel smiled softly and entered the bright banquet hall. Someone approached Luciel, who awkwardly entered while looking up at the elegant swan-shaped ice sculpture atop the cake, which was commemorating the banquet. It was Kizef.

Dressed in a black suit and red cravat, he deserved attention. He was even cute with his bangs neatly down.

“Where have you been?”

“…What?”

“I’ve been looking for you for a while.”

“I was looking around for a second. I can’t believe this is the Duchy of Bellstein.”

Kizef nodded his head agreeing with her point.

“I’ve never seen so many people before.”

“You don’t like crowds?”

“I feel like I’m going to die of suffocation.”

At Kizef’s honest answer, Luciel burst into laughter

“Still, it’s a banquet to commemorate our wedding. Just enjoy! I want to go over there.”

There were different kinds of people at the banquet, but each seemed to have a distinctly different purpose.

First. People gathered to propose a business.

Second. Socialites who came to get news on Bellstein, to check what they knew and to see if there was any gossip, went to meet the Duchess.

Third. People who came purely to celebrate the reception.

Except for the third case, it was easy to distinguish the other two categories.

All those who wanted to propose a business were talking to the Duke, and those who wanted to engage in social activities were talking to the Duchess.

Luciel looked interested in both sides, but first of all, the main purpose of today’s reception was to meet the architect Gallius.

‘Gallius will be over there.’

Luciel looked in the direction of the round table with the Duke over the pillar in the banquet hall. He was sitting in the middle of the table and seemed to be in the discussion for a long time, showing something to several people.

‘What is that?’

The things in the frame were very familiar. Luciel was startled.

Those were the letters Luciel had sent to her father-in-law and the flowers she had placed on the desk.

Her face flushed with embarrassment.

“…Come on, wait. Were you bragging about me?”

Seeing Ellington next to him with a disgusted expression on his face, it seemed right.

If I go to that table right now…I can’t do this.
