In the long run, even after dinner, the couple’s temper was gloomy. For Jacob, Lucerne was a type of seizure set off.

Since he was an opponent Jacob may by no means win in opposition to, he turned irate when somebody talked about Lucerne, and he brazenly turned sullen on days when Gaju praised him.

“Jacob, you’re the finest for Carola. Don’t be so dissatisfied. In any case, he’s an illegitimate youngster. As a result of the Head could be very hooked up to his bloodline, there are occasions when he’s keen on different grandsons moreover Jacob.”

All whereas lowering enterprise offers with the Cartier household however they’ve stored all of the vital enterprises. Look, Carola.

Carola let loose a sigh.

“However there’s no method to make Lucerne violent once more. What if you happen to make a mistake or trigger a commotion at an enormous occasion? … .”

At these phrases, Jacob’s expression was pensive. Carola usually used this technique. She was encouraging Jacob to develop her ominous schemes by planting a seed. The selections have been by no means one thing she did herself.

Partially to keep away from accountability and partly to stay a cute lady to her husband.

“Hmm, sure. Lucerne has one weak spot.”

“Oh, that one? Wouldn’t or not it’s a waste to make use of that ‘card’ now?”

Carola’s eyes searched the ground and requested softly.

“If I have been to play that ‘card,’ Lucerne on the very least would hit his spouse within the palace… … . Or I hope one thing like that.”

“Would Lucerne strike his spouse?”

“Sure… … . If you’ll use their ‘names’.”

“Carola, the place are you going?”

“… … .”

“We should put together to depart for the imperial palace. Come to consider it, we have been additionally invited to the Imperial Palace Looking Competition, proper?”

“Proper, we will’t simply make Lucerne look good.”

“Sure.”

“It should be your first time attending a looking competition, Madam. The looking competition is held within the looking grounds hooked up to the imperial palace. All the highest bureaucrats attend.”

“I see,”

Elisha acknowledged. She examined Lucerne’s new jacket.

“I instructed them to match the swimsuit with the colours of the Knighthood and go black. I believe the navy blue jacket I matched final time can be good as properly.”

Nevertheless, she thought that Lucerne was excellent now. He was initially a tall, lovely man. His muscle groups have been dynamic and toned, and the sight was ecstatic when a brand new black jacket embroidered with silver embroidery draped over his slender, muscular torso.

“How do you want your new jacket? I select it to my liking.”

“… … You selected it?”

“Sure.”

Elisha nodded. The butler who waited on Lucerne added softly,

“I heard from the Madam’s lady-in-waiting, that if you happen to put on the brand new garments, she’s going to match the overall’s garments as properly. Even the colours and designs are related.”

Lucerne stopped and checked out Elisha who was avoiding his gaze, embarrassed.

“Come to consider it, there are extra garments within the closet that I haven’t seen earlier than.”

“… … Because you usually put on navy uniforms, I’ll cease if you happen to suppose it’s an indulgence to decorate excessively.”

“It’s not a nasty concept. Do as you please.”

The butler appeared up and coughed.

“My girl, why don’t you discuss in regards to the memorial?”

“Ah… … .”

“A memorial?”

“I used to be going to talk after discussing it with the butler extra. There’s a clearing within the again backyard. A memorial was erected there, and the individuals beneath your command… … . I wish to consolation the fallen knights and troopers. Those that wish to commemorate the troopers can come and provide flowers anytime.”

“Madam is absolutely thoughtful. I had additionally come from the battlefield, so I like the Madam from the underside of my coronary heart.”

The butler continued,

“That is the very first thing she steered once you stated she may spend your cash freely.”

Lucerne stated nothing. He checked out Elisha quietly. As a substitute, her eyes appeared to be looking out the ground.

“Butler, depart us.”

“Sure.”

The butler quietly left. Lucerne stared at Elisha and pulled her to him. She was immediately embraced in his broad arms. Elisha solely blinked as her coronary heart pounded relentlessly.

“Why is that, actually?”

Lucerne had been performing unusual these days. Even when it wasn’t time for them to go to mattress, he immediately hugged her or couldn’t take her palms off of her.

“Do you want your garments?”

Lucerne stared at her, then replied, ‘Sure.’ Elisha felt her chest tickle for no rational cause.

“I like every thing.”

Elisha realized that she didn’t need to ask his permission about her memorial.
