Chapter 54: CH 52

“Count Heinlibe?”

“Yes. I think I’ve heard that name somewhere before but I don’t think I’ve met a count by that name when I took a diplomatic trip to Levanor with His Highness Alan 2 years ago either. Still, I’m sure that I’ve heard the name before but I just can’t remember when………”

Noon of the next day.

Olivia and the others left for the royal capital.

Alan and Cyrus are on the same carriage as her while Princess Florencia is on another carriage. They’ve also borrowed some soldiers from House Zackfil to prevent the princess and Legion from escaping again as the number of their escorts is not enough.

Shortly after the carriage started to move, she tried mentioning the name [Count Heinlibe] which has been on her mind since yesterday.

In response, Alan replies while cocking his head.

“Right, I don’t remember any Count Heinlibe from that trip 2 years ago either. Personally, I don’t think I’ve heard the name before though…….maybe you just imagined it?”

“Is, that so…….I’m sure that I’ve heard it somewhere before though.”

Cyrus thought about her words for a while before suddenly snapping his face toward her.

“If Olivia thinks that she’s heard the name before then it might be a count house that has some kind of relations with our country right?”

With that reply from Cyrus, Olivia raised her face.

“That’s right! I remembered now! A while ago, I was looking through the names of houses that the royal family is currently managing, it must have been mentioned there!”

“I don’t recall any house called Heinlibe being involved with my family though.”

Alan doubts her but Olivia shakes her head.

“No, not directly. Well, I think it was related to House Verdil!”

“The marquis house? That house didn’t have any heir and was already gone 30 years ago right?”

Although he planned to relinquish his title of Crown Prince soon, he seems to have knowledge of the names of the noble houses and recalled the name immediately. As expected of someone who’s been in the crown prince position for so long.

House Verdil is a marquis house that was placed in the care of the royal family because their lineage ended 30 years ago and there was no relative to succeed the house. In Brior, to succeed a noble house, the candidate must be within the 6th degree of kinship from the previous head and there was no such person in the country 30 years ago.

“What’s the connection between House Verdil and House Heinlibe in Levanor?”

“I believe the elder sister of the father of the last head of House Verdil married into House Heinlibe.”

When Olivia gave her answer immediately, Alan’s expression turned a little complicated.

“You…..you are even interested in something like that huh……”

Alan was completely taken aback while Cyrus bitterly smiled at her.

“It’s Olivia after all. If she wants to know she will just go look it up right.”

“Why are you interested in that topic in the first place?”

“It, it’s just a coincidence…….the predecessor of the last head—–I mean, the last head’s father was, well, he was studying febrile disease so while I was looking into that, I just happened to look into his family as well…….”

The information about the marquis house may be in her head but since it wasn’t what she was interested in, she couldn’t remember it until now.

“So, what if House Heinlibe is connected to House Verdil, what are you going to do with that information?”

“I can’t say for sure until I look at the family tree but……there’s a possibility that Legion might be within the 6th degree of kinship of the last head.”

“I see, so?”

“In case Legion could succeed the title of Marquis Verdil……can we not support his marriage with Princess Florencia?”

“……..Haa.”

Alan let out a long sigh.

On the other hand, Cyrus smiles and strokes Olivia’s hair.

“I kind of expected this but, as I thought, she can’t just leave them alone after all. Right, Aniue.”

Hearing that, Alan leaned back on his seat.

“Even if you say that, this is still way out of there……..let me say this first, it will be real difficult to convince Father and King Levanor you know.”
