Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 20 20. Troy's Fear

"Hello." Licia felt that they might be looking for the dead bird, so she wanted to pretend not to care and leave.

Fortunately, the river bank is relatively rugged and the grass is relatively high. She should not have been found when she was picking up things just now.

"Licia, is there any problem with your shoulder injury?" Ning Tong, the housekeeper, looked at the bag of things in Licia's hand and asked.

"It doesn't hurt, it's just not very flexible." Lizia shrugged and stopped, with a deliberate impatient look on her face.

Several other people, sticking sticks on the ground, all looked at the things in Licia's hands, and one of them even pointed with his finger.

"Be careful on the road." In the end, Ning Tong just said this, and pressed his right hand to let those people get out of the way.

After Licia left, she felt a little unbelievable.

Aren't they looking for what they have?

Driven by curiosity, when she was about to reach the bridge, she looked back.

The people led by Ning Tong were still standing there, waving at her, and the favorability bar above the butler's head actually increased a lot, from the initial one percent to about ten.

Damn it, Licia hastened to leave.

In the evening, Dimitri brought many people over to visit her.

Lin Xi was the first to run over. She pretended to be heartbroken, and Lizia even felt that she was holding back a pack of false tears.

"Actually, my shoulders are almost healed." Lizia was already lying comfortably on the bed reading a book, and deliberately lifted the quilt and walked down and turned around twice.

"Troy!" Dimitri called out to the Duke of Troy who was standing far away.

"Your Highness." Troy shook his head and walked over helplessly.

She stood in front of Licia with her hands down, closed her eyes, and a disc coat of arms with complex patterns appeared on her forehead.

Everyone was confused by His Highness the Crown Prince's sudden operation, and even Lin Xi stopped making noise.

No one would let a noble lady accept divination in public.

"Blood, fog, thorns, and, um, what is this!?" Troy opened his eyes profusely with sweat.

He glanced at his hands and noticed they were shaking.

But he didn't even remember the last scene he saw just now, he only knew that fear filled his heart.

"What else?" Dimitri was also very surprised, he just wanted to find a reason for Troy to stand closer, to prove to Licia and himself that his friend Troy could not have anything to do with what happened yesterday .

After all, an ignorant person like Troy, who has a divination coat of arms and only knows how to pick up girls, is really unlikely to see anything.

"I don't know, I can't remember." Troy let out a long sigh of relief, and helped Viscount Domi come over quickly, hugged his arm, and comforted him softly.

'Very well, I have added one more peculiarity. After Licia finished speaking in her heart, she squeezed out a smirk.

"Could it be because of my crest? I don't know how to use a crest so far." She tried to change the subject.

Sure enough, after that, everyone chattered around her coat of arms.

"Ah, Licia!" It was Posetti, who came over with a broad sword.

It is said that it is a broad sword, it is not much worse than a broadsword, so Posetti can hold it with one hand and use it.

"I heard that there is a problem with the horse provided by the college. Why don't you recuperate in the school hospital? I can still take care of you." Among the people present, Posetti was the only one whose eyes were really full of worry.

"I have ordered the family to send new horses to the academy." He deliberately stood in front of the Crown Prince, his chin covered with green stubble.

Licia was moved by this sincere concern and nodded to him. "Got it, thank you for your concern."

"Poseti, His Royal Highness is here." Troy gave him a hand with a headache.

"Hello, Your Royal Highness." Posetti said in a rough voice. "What do you think, why not let Miss Licia recuperate in the academy?"

"Do I need an explanation?" Dimitri lit the fireplace with dragon flame. "It's a bit cold in this room."

"Mr. Posetti, Licia is more suitable here. The academy hospital is too noisy and not suitable for recuperating." Fudomi relieved the embarrassment in time.

"I'll be fine the day after tomorrow, so don't worry about me, Posetti." Licia said softly.

Dimitri took a book from the shelf, walked to the chair in front of the fireplace, sat down, and began to concentrate on reading.

Everyone hurriedly exchanged greetings with Licia, and then left.

"I want to stay here too." Posetti refused to leave.

Licia glanced at Dimitri, of course it was impossible, and after a few words of persuasion, he also said that Di Tata was here to accompany her before he was willing to leave.

"Licia, sometimes having too many admirers is not a good thing." When the princess was washing, Dimitri couldn't bear it anymore, closed the book, and said such a sentence.

"Why not, because you don't have a heart to love others, so you are envious of Posetti?" She walked in front of Dimitri and picked up the book on his lap. "Practical value of Toto grass?"

"I don't have the heart to love others? Who do you mean by others, you? I admit that it may be difficult to find a face that can match yours in this world, but I will not be like that Western guy." He took Licia's hand He snatched back the book he had casually picked up on the bookcase, and stood up.

"Yeah, so why don't you find a fortune teller to see if I have lied, and let me accept divination in public?" Licia walked over reluctantly, and when she heard the praise that she was the most beautiful in the world, let her His arrogance rose a bit.

"It's the Duke of Troy, not a fortune teller. I asked him to come here just to show you that he can't be the one who shoots the arrow. His divinations are all very vague things." Dimitri's face was blurred by the fireplace. The flames became slightly redder.

Licia froze for a while, she didn't mention Troy by name yesterday.

"When did I say I doubted him?"

Dimitri pointed to the fireplace, making the flames a little smaller. "What you said yesterday, prediction, insight, these two words, very few people in the academy match, and the divination coat of arms is not common, so it points to the Duke of Troy. Have you been out today?"

Lycia was interrupted and nodded. "I took a walk by the river today, and I picked up the body of a gray bird, which is the same as the one of His Majesty the Emperor. I picked it up."

Dimitri took the corpse in his hand and checked it several times. "This is not my father's one, its tongue shape is different."

"But." He thought for a while. "It seems like it's been a long time since I heard Father's gray bird speak."
