Chapter 140: 140

Chapter 140. After Quitting Being Your Rival (6)

Lanella was now imprisoned in the narrow Imperial prison.

‘Ah… It really hurts.’

Since she was directly involved in black magic, the jailer said that she would not be able to escape the death penalty.

He even said that the Lord of Caronda had filed an appeal with a list of the victims.

It was painful to be in a position where there was nothing she could do, but she had no choice but to spend time looking towards her end.

It became more painful after being locked in the Imperial prison cell.

While moving, she was able to see the scenery outside, and time did not pass terribly in this closed place.

In the meantime, she was hungry and nervous. Then the jailer said bluntly and threw down a plate.

“Come on, it’s dinner.”

A loaf of moldy bread lay on the plate the jailer had tossed.

But Lanella, desperate for even that, hastily picked up the bread and ripped it open.

It was then.

“Oh, my, my, my.”

“Oh my gosh… Look at that.”

“Ah…my goodness…”

Lanella, who was tearing bread like an animal, was startled by the sudden voices.

And with a pop, the bread in her hand fell by itself.

The people who she grew up with together in the nursery flocked together like a cloud.

“No, that’s absurd… It is impossible for so many people to enter the Imperial Palace Prison…”

Her prison uniform that had not been changed after being caught in Caronda was all worn out and smelled, and there was not enough water to wash, so she was a mess.

Even though Lanella was going to die, she wanted to die now.

Because she had never even imagined such a disgrace.

“Because my daughter is such a talented person.”

Marilyn walked out among the people in the nursery.

With her fluttering purple hair, she appeared in a glamorous dress wrapped in all kinds of expensive jewelry.

“The Imperial Family told me to do whatever I wanted.”

Next to Marilyn was Oscar, as she showed off her middle-aged floral beauty, looking down at her with her contemptuous expression.

And behind them stood Aaron and Annabelle, with the Saintess Lanella had never seen before.

By the side of the Rainfield family that seemed to be shining brightly, their nursery school friends added their words.

“Are you still human?”

“You swapped her child? Even after doing that, you came to the capital to even help tailor dresses for Marilyn?”

“Good Lanella, how much we complimented you in the past…”

‘Good Lanella’.

It was the words that boosted Lanella’s self-esteem in the nursery.

“Lanella, who can’t be compared to Marilyn, who has a dirty personality. Oscar must have bad eyesight.”

The reason why Lanella was able to endure being dumped by Oscar was that everyone thought she was better than Marilyn.

So when she showed signs that Marilyn was starting to get better than her, she hated it, and it somehow made her more pitiful and unhappy.

But when she now fell deeper than the bottom, she found herself with Marilyn in her brightest form.

She even led the people she grew up with in the orphanage.

“Hey, go away! Aaaaah! Leave!”

Lanella covered her ears and yelled at her, but she couldn’t avoid the eyes of those countless people from the nursery.

Some of them brought their children and said to them, ‘If you live badly, that’s what happens’.

“Go! Go! Go! Marilyn, you vicious X, do you feel so relieved that you made me so miserable? Huh? I’d rather you kill me! Kill me quickly!”

She screamed and cursed at her, but the people outside only looked at Lanella with more contempt.

“I’m still not feeling well. I haven’t seen my daughter for 22 years, so how can I feel refreshed? And you shouldn’t die easily. A death sentence will be given, but the sentence will be delayed as much as possible. Do you know why?”

Marilyn whispered with cool eyes.

“Because the Duke of Wade stepped up and said he would find your biological parents.”

At that, Lanella was startled and stopped her yelling. Marilyn added with a smile.

“I know you wanted to find your birth parents. As soon as your biological parents find you, they’ll know you’ve become this way. I think you’d rather die in front of your biological parents.”

Cessianne cheered on from behind.

“Don’t worry about the paternity test. I’ll come for a business trip and do it anytime.”

At her words, the person who was next to her laughed softly.

“Oh my, when our daughter-in-law is a talented person too!”

“I know. Now I can no longer listen to Reddin boasting about his daughter-in-law.”

“What? Reddin’s son married? When?”

They had been friends for a long time, so suddenly they started talking to each other.

It was a terrible thing for Lanella, who wanted this situation to end quickly.

“Talk while you eat this.”

Nick said while circling the sumptuous lunch box that Oscar had made.

“Let’s eat slowly, okay?”

“Oh my, what are you doing… But how is the packaging so pretty? Is it the Rainfield Restaurant’s new menu? Are you selling lunch boxes now?”

When a friend asked a question while looking at the lunch box, Nick answered with a smirk.

“No, it’s not going to be sold because I packaged it myself.”

“You… You did all this yourself?”

A friend of hers, who remembered the countless waitresses at Rainfield Restaurant, asked a question, but Nick answered with a swipe of the old pipe he took out.

“Of course. No labor costs.”

“…Didn’t you say you were the lord of somewhere?”

“Why does that matter? I saved it so I could live well.”

With the happy laughter of her rising middle-aged friends, Lanella felt extremely miserable and painful.

(Annabelle’s pov)

I thought Lanella’s biggest punishment was for her ‘to be humiliated by my mother in front of her old friends from the same nursery’.

Because when I listened to my uncle, Lanella seemed to feel deeply inferior to my mother.

Read only at pm tl.

What stimulated her sense of inferiority above all else was the gaze of others.

So I put the people together and gave my mother that ‘last-minute accusation role’.

And after thinking about what other punishment I might give to Lanella, I decided to take advantage of the brilliance of my lover’s family.

Because it seemed like the capable Wade estate would be able to find Lanella’s biological parents.

“I didn’t know that it would be so refreshing.”

Aaron said naturally as he got off the carriage.

Our parents went to the Rainfield Restaurant with friends from the nursery they hadn’t seen in a long time.

“To see them chatting was also so much fun. But Sis… Aren’t you going home?”

“Hmm. I have a place to go.”

“Ah.”

As soon as Aaron saw where my body was headed, he grinned.

“You are going to see your lover at the Wade duchy.”

He was already preparing a comment because he wanted to make fun of me. I shrugged my shoulders to avoid falling into the trap.

“No? Are you going to see Leslie?”

I smiled and waved my sword.

“Tomorrow is a friendly match. Ian is not an easy opponent to win against.”

Well, it wasn’t really a lie.

Finally, after getting rid of the origin of the third black magic, I was able to test my best skills.

Perhaps Ian was the only person in this world who could test my skills with all my might.

Even the groundwork was laid, so there was no reason not to do our best.

I was thrilled at the thought of being able to show Leslie my final skills.

“Aren’t you on vacation today? Go to the temple.”

“Ah…”

Still, Aaron looked like he was about to die because he wanted to make fun of me and Ian.

However, no matter how strange Aaron was, he was not a person who was absurd enough to go to work to make fun of his older sister rather than to see his lover.

“Hmm, I see.”

So Aaron and I went our separate ways and I headed to the Wade duchy alone.

I didn’t tell Aaron, but of course I was going to see Ian as well.

It was because Ian must have been wielding a sword with the thought that ‘she will be spending time comfortably with her family for the first time, so I shouldn’t disturb her’.

“Hello, Miss Annabelle.”

“Hello.”

The gatekeeper, who used to have been busy chasing me over the wall, was also used to greeting me. It was time to head to the training ground with excitement.

“Miss Annabelle, long time no see.”

On the way to the gym, Braden was standing there with a smile.

“Oh, Duke?”

At that time, it was the first time I saw him after hearing that even if I was an alien, he would like me to be his daughter-in-law.

I was embarrassed and bit my lower lip.

“Ah, hello…”

Braden welcomed my greetings, and he asked softly.

“I have a place to stop by for a while, would you like to go with me?”

“But I am afraid that Leslie’s call…”

“I’m going to Leslie. Leslie is not in the training ground right now.”

Whatever it was, I couldn’t help it. I slouched and started walking after Braden. Still, I didn’t push the boundaries.

It was because I had a foreboding that the date of the wedding would be set.

“Miss Annabelle, does Ian lack anything?”

“Not at all. Your son is always great.”

“Well… He has been nicknamed as the crazy guy who likes to be hit, but I’m doing a good job working on public opinion.”

“Public opinion?”

“He only likes to be beaten by Annabelle.”
