Chapter 145: 75.2

“Damn it. So?”

“I was invited to the reopening of the museum. But I said I couldn’t go because I was sick.”

“Is there anything else you can get from the Crown Prince?”

“So far, nothing. How about you? What, you got anything?”

Alexid shook his head, too.

“I’m looking for the maids at the time, but it’s not that easy.”

“Whoa… No. Is there nothing for the Crown Prince to do? Why is he suddenly visiting me?

“I don’t know. He said he’d come after today’s schedule, so I couldn’t refuse.” He trailed off. “But you look too healthy right now.”

“Ugh….” Louella even had her hair in her mouth. She thought everything was going well, but it didn’t seem like it.

“First of all, I need to call the servants. Why don’t you ask our mom for advice?”

“That would be better.” Alexid and I made eye contact briefly and nodded.

He wouldn’t be stubborn to meet her if she was directly pinned to her bed, right? Then her mom was the most suitable person to do that for her and announce that she was sick.

And… she wanted her to ask what the Crown Prince feels right now. She thought it would be necessary to find out about what was circulating among people these days. She was certain that he had a banquet a while ago. They were set on selecting a new Crown Princess.

Then why is there no news about it? The answer had to be given by her mother.

“At that time, there were only three people whom the Crown Prince danced with. One person a day. And Louella was one of the ladies with whom he danced the most. Everyone’s tried to hush because of the Logan family, but…… It seemed that people knew about how Louella had been taking care of her dad that was sick from the illness, Louella Leander? And Alexid Leander.”

Alexid was caught trying to run away from me. Alexid used to cough and turned his head toward his mother.

“I want to hear why you sympathized with Louella. What are you two up to?”

“It’s…”

“I’m sure it’s what Louella did.”

“Well….” To what extent can I tell her about it?

“I’m going after Nisephor now, Duchess.” A familiar voice was heard. And it was none other than Gerald, who visited without an announcement.

Gerald came out and offered a helping hand to Alexid.

“Nisephor? Zeze, were you involved, too? But why are you after the bottle?”

“I don’t think it’s just a normal yet common disease, Duchess.” Gerald put down the newspaper in his hand.

It was about Nigrum and Candidum and the Museum of Art and Mr. Murray.

“I thought I would know the truth if I chased Nisephor. So we’re tracking the disease together. I’m helping Billiers with his research.”

“How did you know Nisephor was involved?”

“The Crown Prince had a strange smell! I heard from Flora that the death of the Crown Princess was weird.” Gerald and Louella nodded at the same time.

Mom looked at the articles and sighed slightly. “It’s not dangerous, is it?”

“I’m trying my best not to be in danger. Don’t worry, Mom.”

“Anyway, the urgent thing right now is to deal with the Crown Prince, right?”

“That’s right!” In the end, Louella’s mother decided to help us.

It still seemed like there was something dubious about it, but the urgent thing right now is to send the Crown Prince back from here. Alexid went out to greet the Crown Prince while Louella and Gerald came up to her bedroom.

“You couldn’t even say hello. Lulu, good afternoon.” Gerald greeted me with a smile.

“……I don’t know if it’s a good day for me,” Louella responded with a pout. “He suddenly said he would come to see me.”

He shook his head. But for a moment Gerald’s eyes sparkled. What is it?

“Lulu.” Gerald came close to me.

Sitting on the sofa and taking a breather, she opened her eyes wide and stared at him. His eyes were fluttering blue. And she noticed where his eyes were focused on. She had no choice but to know because he was looking at it so persistently.

“You’re wearing the necklace I gave you.” By reflex, she covered the necklace with her hands.

“It’s just…”

“I was wondering when you would do it,” Gerald said in a low voice. Gerald bowed to me.

Gerald’s breath brushed gently against her cheeks. Now, there was a commotion outside, and the servants were

running around.

They were gathering people who would act quickly, placing things underneath, and moving others. Her mother was in a flash renovating the mansion.

However, such uproar was forgotten and only Gerald was seen. Gerald took her hand. She felt like she could see the sparkle of the necklace.

Gerald’s finger was felt at the back of Louella’s neck. His touch was gentle and free. For a moment, she felt herself breathing heavily.
