Chapter 138
The Ducal couple’s bedroom, wrapped in a barrier, was a place that was under Enzo’s jurisdiction. That was why he could know Rachel’s condition and help Lucian enter the barrier from anywhere. Lucian had only opened the door to the office, but the place he arrived was not in the hallway of the office, but in the Ducal couple’s bedroom already.
“Ray?”
He came in a hurry though she was only lying quietly on the bed.
Enzo said to Lucian, who was sitting on the bed and examining her closely.
—Wake her up.
“What?”
—I don’t know why. Wake her up, as her energy is weak like a candle standing in front of the wind.
Even though he didn’t trust everything he said, it was different when it came to Rachel. Lucian gently stroked her hair, as usual, to wake her up.
At that time, Enzo whispered strangely.
―Hmm, her energy is suddenly getting stronger? What is this child’s true identity?
Lucian ignored his words and carefully continued to caress Rachel. Enzo clicked his tongue at the gesture as if he was putting her to sleep rather than waking her up.
―That’s how you wake her up…
Enzo, who was trying to reprimand Lucian for his patheticness, then stopped his words. It was because Rachel woke up.
“Hu-uhp…”
Even before she opened her eyes first, her gesture of looking for Lucian’s hand seemed delicate and persistent. Even if she grabbed his hand, she didn’t just grab it, but put her finger between his fingers and held it tightly, so Enzo disappeared without saying anything.
Every time Lucian saw her like this, his heart skipped a beat. He was in a good mood and couldn’t come to his senses as if he had been drinking.
“Ha… Luci.”
Was she upset because he woke her up suddenly? Her voice was quieter than usual. It seemed that there was something mixed with irritation.
“…You slept soundly as if you were dead.”
After making a crude excuse, he closely examined Rachel’s condition. He was worried that the strange ghost he saw then might have taken over her body again. Still, when he saw her opening her eyes and smiling softly as she wrapped her arms around his cheek, his worries quickly melted away.
When she clung to him first, he thought this was what happiness was like.
With just a little act, she made him happy.
The next moment, when he saw the magic stone that had fallen from her arms, Lucian’s eyes glowed darkly in the opposite mood.
Magic stones were not easily obtainable items. More precisely, it was not an item that could be obtained by the general public. The magic stone was an item that could only be exhibited at places approved by the Emperor.
The Leon family also had permission and even owned a magic stone mine, but he had never seen such a high-level magic stone.
A transparent magic crystal filled with dark blue magic. The higher the transparency, the higher the quality of the magic crystal, but even the color of the magical power was denser and clearer than the ones he had seen.
“Why do you have a magic stone?”
He had never even given a magic stone to Rachel. Unless she was a wizard, swordsman, or alchemist, they rarely used magic stones.
It would be just a jewel that looked pretty to the average person, so it was better to buy a more beautiful real jewel with the amount to buy a magic stone.
Rachel looked like she didn’t understand his question. Her expression seemed to show that she, too, was wondering why something like this was here, so he looked at her quietly. He soon noticed a handprint on the white nape. He could see clear signs that someone was choking her, but he didn’t ask.
Even if she didn’t tell him, he knew who the culprit was. His eyes shone even brighter as she pulled Rachel into his arms.
“Strange. Why is this here?”
However, hearing her murmur, he grabbed her rounded shoulders and peered into her face. When Lucian stared at her tenaciously, as if he could figure out anything just by staring at her, Rachel uttered as her lips mumbled.
“I saw the same thing in my dream.”
“…In your dream?”
“Yes, I was holding it in my dream. I didn’t look closely at it at the time, but I do remember that it was sharp enough to sting.”
“….”
It was a remark he couldn’t understand, but he didn’t think it mattered. He thought he just had to keep the spirit from taking over Rachel’s body.
“How are you feeling? Did you sleep well?”
“Yes.”
Her face softened at his belated greeting. The dark blue eyes looking up at him looked like the Milky Way. Even though she knew all about his dark side, she rather showed more affection than before.….
“Ha… I want to chew them all.”
“…Huh?”
“….”
He wanted to get all of his words out, but even though it was Rachel, who loved him all, he didn’t want to reveal it all.
“Too much work. I want to finish it quickly and go down to the estate with you to spend time comfortably.”
“Are you going down to the estate?”
It was the first time she had heard it, so she expressed her curiosity.
“I’ll tell you in detail when the work is done to a certain extent, but I’ll move the entire family to Leon’s estate. We plan to concentrate all the guilds and businesses operated by the Leon family.”
“Why?”
“I will explain that later. That’s okay right?”
His moist lips clung thickly to her forehead and then fell.
Rachel blushed and touched her forehead.
Now, she was in a very good mood. She was happy as if floating a little in the air. It was as if she had finally found a way to get Cassandra out. She didn’t know how she managed to get rid of her through her dreams though she was just happy that she had found a way.
She didn’t want to hide from Lucian any longer, and she never intended to leave him. She did not even think about leaving this body for such a lovely man.
Rachel held on to her resolve even though she thought she was brazen.
Had she already been in this body for over ten years… couldn’t she claim ownership of Rachel’s body? If she had been with this body for a long time to the extent that if she lived further, she could consider this body her original self.
A few days ago, she was afraid to fall asleep at night, but not anymore.
She wished the night would come and guide her to her dreams. In her dream, she would definitely make Cassandra pass on.
Rachel leaned back comfortably in Lucian’s arms, her eyes shining sharply.
Of course, Lucian watched her expression without saying a word.
“What? Who is coming?”
After receiving the report from the chief attendant in the office, the Emperor exclaimed with a shocked face. The chief attendant also reported again with his face full of discomfort.
“The previous Duke Leon came to visit me saying that he wanted to have an audience. What should I do, Your Majesty?”
“…What is the Prince doing?”
“I know he had left, Your Majesty.”
The Emperor hardened his face as he remembered the Prince he had seen that day. The way he treated him until now was nothing more than a mask.
The prince, who seemed to have no intention of hiding the dark eyes, was not the person he knew. It must have been because the Prince lost that child, so he brought only the boy and the mother who he was not interested in.
Seeing this, the Emperor became anxious for nothing. In this way, he tried to give the prince the child he wanted, but he lost it.
It wasn’t a problem that he lost it, but rather, it was more a problem that he had a falling out with Duchy Leon, who had given him strength. Even the Prince hadn’t gotten what he wanted yet, so the Prince couldn’t keep his promise to the Emperor.
So, he couldn’t stand it and threatened the Prince. What did the prince say?
⌈ I don’t think father knows because you’ve never been an underdog. Now, no matter who sees it, I have nothing to regret. I want to say that bringing that little girl was something I could do without father’s help. ⌋
The Emperor hadn’t been able to say anything in response because he was dumbfounded by the prince, who had openly criticized him.
⌈ Still, it would be better for the little girl to be a noble, so I accepted the annoyance and followed Father’s words. But look now. I’m still going crazy because I can’t get what I want! Father can’t even hand over what I want?! What the hell did father help me with? So, do you want to yell at me to keep my promise first? ⌋
It must have been that the prince had really endured a lot, so the Emperor was strangely shaking at the sight of the prince threatening him non-stop.
A suffocating pain passed for a moment, like an unseen presence was weighing him down.
⌈ Please do not order me recklessly. Right now, father is not a strong person to me. Rather, you are the underdog. Isn’t that right? ⌋
The Emperor’s face, unable to hide his shame just by recalling it, turned red.
“Wicked…”
He, who was born into an imperial family, was treated with contempt for the first time. However, as Elliot said, it was the Emperor who regretted it.
“Ha…”
The chief attendant asked as the Emperor was breathing deeply.
“It’s right to just let him go back, right?”
The Emperor felt his head about to explode. He knew now that he shouldn’t have met the previous Duke, but the previous Duke was the only one who always gave him advice when he was in trouble.
Looking at the Emperor, who couldn’t do this or that, the chief attendant silently stepped aside.
No matter how many times he asked, the Emperor didn’t say to let him in, so from now on, the chief attendant had to show his discretion. At that time, he urgently called and stopped the chief attendant, who disappeared to send the previous Duke back.
“…Send him in.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The Emperor decided to take it easy. No matter how angry he was, the previous Duke was still a nobleman, after all.
As the Emperor, the previous Duke had no choice but to follow his words.
“He is no different from my people!”
