Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 26

"Miss Licia, me." Posetti's black face was flushed, and his hand holding the fork was very stiff.

"What's the matter?" Licia ate a piece of mutton, and had to say that the dinner Posetti ordered was very much to her liking.

Posett took a deep breath and was about to speak.

Suddenly from outside came a domestic servant, dressed in the costume of the Campbell family.

"Miss, you are here!" It was Marianne, her eyes were red and her cheeks were red. "Madam passed away."

"Is the carriage under the school?" Licia stood up staggeringly, followed Marian out of the cafeteria with an empty head, and stepped into the carriage again.

Posetti followed out anxiously, but was stopped by Yuan Yu who was standing at the door. "Don't go, she won't welcome anyone now."

When Licia returned home, her eyes were cold and white.

Elder sister Ashe sat next to her mother's body, her eyes glazed over, her arms resting beside the white cloth, still trembling.

Licia moved aside with difficulty. "What's going on? What's going on."

She repeated it several times.

Marianne hesitated for a moment, then walked over quickly. "The duke said it was a heart attack, miss." The clever servant squatted down and took a clean white handkerchief to wipe Licia's tears.

"The duke was dismissed from public office, the young master was expelled from the family, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Madam, she was sad and angry for a while..."

Lycia doesn't remember her mother having a heart attack.

"No, no, no!" Ashe suddenly started yelling at the top of her lungs. "Mom, she doesn't have a heart attack! Not a heart attack!"

"Yes..." Her voice sounded like someone had strangled her neck. "Yes..." Finally Ash Campbell rolled his eyes and passed out.

Licia didn't even know what doctor she was called, nor did she know where their father was at this time.

"Sister, mother didn't have a heart attack, right? What you said just now. Was mother killed?" After the doctor left, Licia broke into sister Ashe's room.

"No, I don't know." Ashe kept shaking her head at this moment.

The four-poster bed creaked.

Licia came closer and pointed to the magic circle in front of her bed.

"Did you see it? This is a first aid circle. No nobleman would die of a sudden illness at home, no!" She felt that her mother's death was strange.

Ashe, who was usually arrogant and mean, couldn't utter a word. She leaned against the pillow and closed her eyes.

"Licia, come out." The Duke walked out of the study at some point, and stood at the door of his eldest daughter's room. His face showed sadness and another emotion that Licia couldn't understand.

"Father! It's absolutely impossible for mother to have a heart attack, absolutely impossible!" Licia rushed to the door, yelling loudly at her father.

It was as if she could distract all her own attention by obsessing over the cause of her mother's death.

"Shut up! Licia, don't you feel sad at all? What? You want someone to examine your mother's holy body, so that she can't rest in peace. And then? The reputation of the Campbell family has been discredited, and you still want to How?" On the forehead of the Duke, the pattern of a wolf's head is faintly visible.

Licia only felt that it was ridiculous. As a soul from another world, even though she hadn't felt much maternal love from Lucica for a long time, she still felt grateful for her ten years of upbringing, and she didn't want her to be so ignorant. Die for nothing.

The duke, who has been with his mother for 30 to [-] years, would still consider the family's reputation in this kind of matter.

You know, in the Thorn Empire, the Duke and Duchess of Campbell are notoriously loving.

"Your aunts and aunts will come from their manor tomorrow to attend the funeral." Duke Michelle Campbell covered his forehead. "Licia, as the heir to the title, you have to clean up your emotions tomorrow and entertain guests well."

Licia found her sister Ashe trembling, shouldn't she throw herself into her father's arms and cry for a while?
