Gaju was misplaced in thought all through dinner, recalling his assembly yesterday afternoon. Mentioned the fortuneteller Muto:

‘I learn the fortune telling about Lucerne. Merha dedicated a criminal offense and killed the prophet of god. However there might be no household tragedy. As an alternative one thing auspicious will occur.’

‘It’s Lucerne’s son, the good… … . A toddler might be born who will obtain the safety of the guardian spirit. Even that guardian deity is the next degree god than the shadow deity dwelling in Lord Lucerne!’

‘It is a superb factor that occurred to Sir Lucerne… … . And due to the numerous change!’

The identical factor might have been stated in a unique method. 

Beforehand, Muto loathed Lucerne for not bribing him, so he used to speak badly of him on a regular basis.

This time, too, he might have declared, ‘The guardian spirit will dwell within the descendants of Lucerne, that illegitimate son, so we should take motion.’ 

As an alternative, Muto praised Lucerne to the excessive heavens till his mouth went dry.

After all, the presents Elisha despatched had been incomparable to these given by his different granddaughters-in-law. As well as, the presents had been all of Muto’s favorites, from trivial snacks to monumental gold bars. It was as if somebody had lengthy identified and brought care of his tastes intimately.

Gaju couldn’t even sleep at evening fascinated by it.

‘Maybe… … . If a demon of a better degree than Lucerne’s guardian deity dwells in his youngster….’

Even the demons, the guardian spirits of the household, had ranks. The shadow monster dwelling in Lucerne was the best satan he had identified and used magic. It was the highest-ranking monster among the many guardian deities dwelling in successive households.

‘However the guardian deity dwelling in Lucerne just isn’t the best in rank among the many demon gods.’

Lucerne’s shadow demon was a second-ranked monster among the many similar line of gods. The guardian deity descended from the world of monster gods, and was second to the king of that world, the Demon.

Nonetheless, there was a satan who was the primary king and near an actual god. Simply because the shadow has the physique in reverse. The god’s title was ‘Ramun.’

Ramun was stated to have the facility to transcend time, area and management the world. Due to this fact, the one who obtained Ramun’s safety would certainly grow to be the grasp of the household.

When Gaju heard the prophecy, his coronary heart trembled, and he couldn’t settle down.

‘Will a toddler with Ramun actually be born between Lucerne and Elisha? Then our household… … . As a mysterious lineage, they are going to be revered and worshiped by the folks of the world.’

As for the fortuitous change that occurred to Lucerne…. For sure, it was his marriage to Elisha.

‘Although Elisha is maddenly wild. In comparison with silly Arien, her qualities are superb. Lucerne is succesful and competent. My different grandchildren can’t even examine. It truly is a double-edged sword. An impressive illegitimate youngster is the foundation of the household. However I’m grasping and actually need it.’

Carola, who had been observing the Head all through dinner, requested gently,

“What are you pondering, my Lord?”

“Ah, I used to be fascinated by Lucerne.”

“… … .”

“Evidently Lucerne has grow to be just a little nearer to me after getting married, doesn’t it? Lucerne’s new bride appears to be doing very effectively. Rumors have reached my ears that she is able to aiding him. In addition to, seeing that she even despatched a letter saying her attendance on the Imperial Palace Looking Pageant this time, it appears Elisha is extra sociable than she appears to be like.”

It was an previous etiquette of high-ranking aristocrats to report back to the oldest member of the household earlier than taking part in an occasion on the imperial palace. The time when these manners had been sincerely enforced was when the imperial energy was stronger than now.

As soon as within the imperial palace, an individual might do varied issues within the title of the household and enhance the home’s repute. Due to this fact, it was well mannered to obtain permission from the pinnacle of the household earlier than coming into the palace. Nonetheless, it was an etiquette that was not often adopted as excessive society grew extra lively.

Lucerne was not a hostile grandson, so there was no obligation. Nonetheless, Elisha wrote a really courteous letter delivering a spring greeting to the Head and politely mentioning their attendance on the searching pageant.

Within the eyes of elders, even a dutiful spring greeting was pleasing. Nonetheless, Elisha did greater than that.

‘She is a toddler who is aware of the right way to do issues prettier than she seemed, Elisha.’

Gaju was in an unusually glad temper for just a few days. As well as, the contents of the letter strictly adopted the etiquette of high-ranking nobles, so even the duke was impressed.

“Silly Marco.”

He took a sip of wine and clicked his tongue in distaste.

“Merha can be loathsome. As an alternative, Lucerne is doing effectively… … . In addition to, he saved the lifetime of Merha, whom he hates a lot. Maybe he’s extra versatile than I judged?”

A troubled smile crossed Jacob’s face. When Marco, the one candidate for the pinnacle of the household who threatened him, fell, Jacob, who thought he would naturally win and safe the place of the successor, was now being unreasonably threatened by Lucerne.

Even when Lucerne died and got here again to life, he might by no means reign because the patriarch. The primary purpose was that his mom was a lowly commoner. This was probably the most compelling purpose, and the second was that he was born out of wedlock.

But when a toddler had been born to Lucerne, the story would change. If… … . What if the duke went mad, took Lucerne’s youngster, and used it? It might have been the case if Lucerne sought favor.

Jacob and Carola exchanged glances.

“However Carola… … . we’re scared when Lucerne will get offended. You appear to be offended today. He has modified lots. We initially acknowledged his nature. His nature might be virtuous and noble, befitting ducal blood,”

Carola stated with a smile. She talked about Lucerne’s anger and reminded the Head of Lucerne’s boastful angle from earlier than. Furthermore, the speak of the duke’s blood was nothing greater than highlighting Lucerne’s id as an illegitimate youngster.

Gaju understood what Carola meant. He gave no response, and she or he grew extra anxious. As an alternative, the Lord muttered to himself,

“There was a property I gave to Arien… … . A flour refinery in the midst of the capital. Certainly.”

Carola’s palms trembled. Though the dimensions of the flour refinery was small, its annual earnings was fairly substantial. Furthermore, many individuals used it, so even a low-ranking noble household might stay on it alone with out issues.

“I need to give it to Elisha.”

“My Lord! But it surely’s a invaluable household property… … . It’s a nasty factor to leak outdoors. Carola is fearful. How a lot can Elisha be trusted… … . If she separates from Lucerne… … .”

Carola waited for the day to obtain the refinery, however when the duke expressed his intentions, she felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her on a transparent day. She lastly revealed her true emotions.

“What?”

“Uh, effectively… … . it’s not what Carola thinks. They are saying that males typically divorce contract brides,”

Carola stuttered hesitantly. She all the time made excuses by conveying different folks’s opinions, not her personal. Gaju was irritated.

“Carola, do you suppose I’m a idiot? After all, it’s awarded on the situation that if Lucerne and Elisha divorce it is going to be returned. In a short while you’ll attempt to instruct me.”

As an alternative, Carola was scolded for her shallow remarks. She was devastated, for she not often heard reapproach from the Lord.

‘Why do solely dangerous issues occur to Carola when she will get concerned? It’s not truthful! She ought to have died doing laundry. Oh, I’m so offended.’

However she held again her tongue and pressed down on her burning coronary heart.

“Jacob, take excellent care of your spouse. Elisha is aware of the right way to deal with her elders however solely your spouse is spoiled.”

Jacob stood there with a bewildered expression and reproached her,

“Carola, the Lord has a purpose for all the pieces. Watch out what you say in entrance of the pinnacle of the family!”

“Sure, we perceive. Carola was improper… … . However the Lord appears to see just one fairly granddaughter-in-law now. So imply! We all the time attempt to present filial piety.”

Gaju felt just a little relieved when Carola acted silly and placed on a tragic expression as common. Nobody might be critically mad at canines or cats. Carola knew the right way to make good use of that.

“Nonetheless, in rank, aren’t you the elder of Elisha’s household? It is best to lead her. Like a toddler, you’re bitterly jealous.”

“Understood.”

Carola reluctantly nodded.
