Because She Had A Time Limit, She Became The Villain’s Daughter-in-law
Chapter 69

Unbelievable.

Elanie said, looking at the fish fluttering with entranced eyes.

Then, she held my hand tightly.

Amazing! Thats amazing.

Even though all I did was shout, she gazed at me with dazzling eyes and said, Thank you so much. Thanks to Miss Laria, I was able to catch a large fish.

I was able to catch Medor, thanks to Elanie. Even if I simply avoided him now, it was obvious that whenever Duke Icard grew his power in the future, he would keep me in check. When you hit someone, you cut out the weakest part first.

Besides, I felt more exposed now than necessary. Unlike in the South, I was a little bit famous for remaining as a quiet little mastermind in the back, so for my own safety, I had to cut off the wings from the beginning.

Since he was charged with the intent of murdering the royal family, it would probably be difficult for him to be released from the investigation soon.

Without Medor, Duke Orlando had no choice but to lose his strength.

Medor was the Dukes right hand, who successfully performed numerous tasks and interfered with the Duke of Icard. So, now, the countless obstacles had been blocked.

Now that I have cut off the right arm of the enemy, a flower path will open up for Duke Icard

I was roughly satisfied, and Elanie said proudly.

Well, well get to see each other again later.

Yes, we will I was the current wife of the Princess future husband.

It sounds a bit silly to say this, but

Because you are the wife of Prince Icard and no one else.

I muttered inwardly, watching Elanie stepping away.

Yes, thats right. But, anyway, the Princess true love is Seymour, which is still far away

I glanced across the lake and tilted my head.

I knew Seymour had been staring at us from earlier. It was natural to stare at such a provocative scene with the young Lady of Icard, the Imperial Princess, and assassins dragged by the Imperial knights.

So, I thought his eyes would be on Elanie now.

The fateful first meeting was interrupted by me, but in the end, it was going to be okay, I felt it at a glance!

.

It didnt seem like it? Seymours green eyes were fixed on me as if I had no interest in the radiant appearance of Elanie. As soon as my eyes met his, he spoke silently, moving his lips, like mimicking.

Are. You. All. Right?

Then, he pretended to cough. Perhaps, he cared about how I coughed next to Elanie.

Oh, now Seymour is more concerned about the death of me, his business partner.

After all, just looking at it from a distance, his interest in the Princess couldnt beat his love for money.

What

I thought while looking at Elanies back, holding a large fish and turning around proudly.

Lets not think deeply. Im not even the author. A relationship that will work out, will work out, somehow.

I wasnt so attentive that I cared about the love of people who ate better and lived better than me. So, it was right to just leave it like this and finish it.

No more conversation.

However Do you really have any regrets about letting her go like this?

I stared at the ruby necklace in my hand. The workmanship was high-quality, and the state of the jewels was top-notch. As a medium that connects the main characters, it was perfectly beautiful

I guess I cant.

I just couldnt let it go. If I didnt call her back now, I would regret it for a long time whenever I saw the necklace. So, after hesitating for a while, I grabbed the necklace and shouted cautiously.

Princess!

Elanie, who was returning under the escort of imperial elite soldiers, looked back.

Im really sorry, but this necklace

The necklace was too pretty to just send it like this. Looking at Elanies gorgeous face, I asked earnestly.

Where did you buy it?

I thought I should buy Evans birthday present at that store.

* * *

Due to the slightly revised schedule, I arrived at Duke Icards residence a little later than expected. Although I sent a letter in advance to inform them that the arrival would be delayed, it was difficult to tell the exact time.

By the time I arrived at Duke Icards mansion, it was already dark. The road from the gate to the mansion was so long that when we arrived at the mansion, stars were rising.

No, but the stars Are they supposed to explode?

Wh-what is this?

As soon as I got off the wagon, I opened my mouth to see the firecrackers shooting high in the sky of the mansion. No, it wasnt even a fireworks festival, but rainbow-colored fireworks exploded in a row.

Goodness!

I exclaimed as I looked up at the colorful night sky.

Icard Dukes budget is exploding!

Firecrackers were quite expensive here, and it was like gold coins spreading in the sky every minute.

Hold one Come to think of it, its Evans birthday tomorrow.

Naturally, I thought it was a huge event on the eve of his birthday, though I was startled by the letters that suddenly appeared in the night sky.

[ Congratulations on your return, Laria. ]

How much money for each letter that scatters at that moment

If you had given me that money, I would have been able to fill Baron Lavonis mansion with furniture of the highest quality, but that was disappointing

And, only after that regret came the surprise.

Good job on returning safely.

Welcome.

Both Evan and Duke Icard spoke in the same expressionless and blunt tone.

Morand, the butler, smiled softly and said, Both wanted to welcome Miss Laria, so we prepared a simple event like this.

A simple event? Its like youve put all the furniture of my mansion on the air

It was a little small because I didnt have time. I cant help it even if youre sad. Duke Icard said while coughing.

I was wasting my time with Evan due to trivial problems

Wasting your time? Morande said quickly.

Congratulations on the return of Lady Laria, Welcome back Laria, Congratulations on your return, Laria, Were happy that Laria is back. It took quite a long time for you to choose a phrase among the options.

If I had known she would arrive sooner than I thought, I would have just done all three.

Evan muttered as if harboring mixed emotions. If all three had been done, the entire Barons mansion would have burned, that was fortunate.

But, I couldnt tell the exact time of my arrival because I had to change my schedule

Of course, we also prepared a welcome greeting if you arrived during the day. An orchestra and choir were scheduled to perform.

So, if I had arrived during the day, the Dukes budget was going to disappear due to the vibrations in the air

Then, what will happen to those people?

The payment has already been made

Oh my, Its already gone!

If you have any music you want to listen to, you can personally watch the performance at your convenience.

That meant that many peoples feet were now tied to the Dukes residence.

The first thing I thought was that I should send them away as soon as possible because there was no song I wanted to listen to. However, the thought that I cant afford to do that followed the good thoughts.

I couldnt forget that all I was was a possessor with a greedy spirit.

I should definitely save the cards you can use. Nothing should be wasted.

The name I made up, I should have named it Baron Screwd, not Baron Lavonis, but it was a pity.

By any chance, if I had arrived during the day, these firecrackers

I would have let you see this on the night you wanted.

In the end, both day and night welcome had been prepared.

With a moved face, I clasped hands and looked at Evan and the Duke of Icard. No, its too much of a welcome for me. I dont even know how to say thank you.

It was because there was a lot of anticipation for compliments on their faces.

Its so touching and nice. Of course, I prefer good things that I can own for a long time rather than good things that disappear after seeing them once

As both of them were silent, my words continued to expand.

Well, so, again, I know the grace of Duke Icard is really as wide as the sea and as high as the mountains

Were you distracted?

Duke Icard continued bluntly. There were no trees in the firecracker, but why did it look like a mountain?

Ahahahahahaha!

Contempt crossed Evans face, and wonder crossed mine.

I folded my eyes as much as possible and smiled, and put my hands together to make it like a mountain.

Distracted? Oh my, how do you think that!

Duke Icard crossed his arms and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

As expected.

He murmured lowly.

With Larias return, the atmosphere of the mansion is definitely different.

Evan nodded his head without saying a word.

And so, I went back to Duke Icards residence.
