《This story is not happy ending》 Catchphrase (While Lear was sitting in front of the house for reading a novel.) This world is really boring. "Tinia! Renee! do you know why ''Lear'' was locked and forbidden from leaving her house?" Plus, there''s this small and noisy squealing sound that hits my ears again. Sigh! annoying "Why, Elna?" There was a ringleader and a pair of henchwomen waiting to coordinate with that aching voice. Can''t my life be quiet and peaceful? "That''s because she is sinfulness. If she steps out of this house, this world will surely perish." How annoying! ¡ª even if she says so but she still trying to come in and spew annoying words in front of my house again. Darn it!! I think I''ll just sit around and read a novel quietly and peacefully for a bit, but they were destroyed. This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. I sat and looked at the group of three women giggling with a feeling that couldn''t be described in words. I almost couldn''t stand it until I nearly grabbed their heads and slapped their mouths. Fortunately, of them, I''m not that kind of person. But even then, they still seemed a little etiquette. Cause when they saw that I didn''t react, they flicked their heads and walked away, stomping feet as if they weren''t satisfied with anything. What!! Shouldn''t the one who''s dissatisfied be me? -- However¡ª what the hell is this novel? The male lead married the villainess. But the female lead who came later seduced him until he fell in love. In the end, he decided to divorce the villainess. When the villainess refused, he kicked her out of the mansion by accusing her of physical abuse of the female lead. Finally, he also took everything that was hers as his own. That''s not enough to openly associate with the female lead, even though he hasn''t divorced the villainess yet!! Don''t you think it''s too crazy? How could these people be the protagonists of the story! I don''t like it at all. For shame! looks like it must have reached my hand. Let''s try and see if the protagonists don''t end up together. How will it be!! End of Lear part Introduction (Lear part) Hello, my name is ''Lear''. Everyone here doesn''t have the last name and I''m one of them. My daily life is so boring. Fortunately, I also had a friend named ¡®Ya Li¡¯ bring me something that would help me get bored away very well. Otherwise, I would be bored to death certainly. Death? I don''t even understand this word. Because as far as I can remember, I have been in this place for many years. Maybe decades, no! maybe a hundred years or thousands of years, but I know it''s been long. It''s been so long since I can read the millions of novels that Ya Li brought to me. Can you see how long it''s been? But even so, the novels I read, still have some frustrations for me too. There are some novels in which the storyline is acceptable. But in some stories, the plot is so bad. The rationality of the characters seemed to be infuriating. Until I had to use a special capability to intervene in those novels. Let it be the ending I want. I admit it sounds a bit overbearing. But this is another activity that allows me to endure in this boring world besides reading novels. Sounds like you might be wondering how I did it. I''ll answer right here that I don''t know either. I only knew that when I edited the plot of the first novel, I read until I was furious and fell asleep. When I woke up, I found myself in a dark square room. There was only a huge monitor screen playing the story and repeating it over and over until my head hurts. Suddenly, a strange door appeared. And when I opened that door and stepped out, I realized that I had become one of the characters in that novel. After I edited the plot of the novel until I was satisfied. That same door popped up in front of me. Then when I opened it and went in, I found that I was back in my old world. That was the beginning of a fun activity that I just discovered besides sitting and reading novels with snacks and warm drinks, which was not a bad activity. It made me feel incredible pleasure. Today is the day that I will start reading a new novel that I just got from an old grandmother who suddenly stopped in front of my house before handing me this novel without any notice by saying nothing. What a strange old grandmother¡ª This is the first time I''ve received a novel from someone other than Ya Li, my only best friend, who has always been looking for fun novels for me since I was forbidden to step out of the area of this house. For that reason, I don''t know either. I only knew that it was someone¡¯s command. If you asked me, was I in any trouble with detention? I would like to answer here that no!! On the other hand, it''s very good. Cause I don''t have to meet someone who talks like that annoying. Also, those girls weren''t able to bother me in the house either. Because of that person''s order, people inside are forbidden from entering and outsiders are forbidden from entering too. A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. ¡°Hey, what do you feel?¡± That''s it! Where''s the missing word? Speaking of ghosts, ghosts come. What again! Isn¡¯t she ever tired? ¡°What is it, Elna- what are you feeling?¡± I sat and watched that girl group responding as if reciting a soap opera. If I''m not mistaken, her name is Ti¡ª something like that I can¡¯t remember. And the other person who likes to make an innocent face, her name is¡­um¡ª oh my god! why can''t I remember, even though they were always talking nonsense in front of my house? But anyway¡ª if I don''t remember, it probably won''t have any effect on my life. ¡°I feel viciousness!¡± Then Elna''s henchwomen laughed like the villainess in the soap operas I read so often. Sometimes I didn''t understand why the author would write for the villainess to do such a tacky manner. Oh dear¡ª What special abilities do they have? Why is it possible to destroy the peace of others every time they appear? What a useless talent. When I finished watching the monkey drama, I shook my head lightly before starting to continue to read my new novel. ¡°Lear!! Are you ignoring me?!¡± Elna''s patience seems to be lower than I thought. because as soon as I saw that I was not interested in them She immediately started yelling at me. Such a person with a manners level is like the world core. I mean, it''s not a normal low. ¡°So, what is your business with me?¡± I decided to play with those girls a little bit. By responding in a tone that tries to make it sound like I am feeling scared of them but why does it sound emotionless? Or maybe it''s because of my low and smooth tone? ¡°You!!¡± ¡°Excuse me¡ª but can you get out of my sight? Because I can''t concentrate on reading.¡± Lie! Yes, I lied, because for me their voices weren''t in my ears at all. It''s like reading a book under a mango tree during the summer months and the top of the mango tree had many ripe mangos until golden flies flew to swarm those mangos because of the good smell. Those voices were just like those golden flies. It seemed like they weren''t too happy with my response. I saw Elna¡¯s face, the person who often speaks ironically to me, was red with shamefaced. Umm¡ª Or should I spare some time to practice acting? For acting in response to those spouting annoying words in front of my house. To make it look a little more colorful, how¡¯s weird fun. "You! you! Huh! I shall turn, just you wait!¡± ¡®Where do you think I can go?¡¯ Again, they spit out such tasteless words. Sigh¡ª even if I say that. I still don''t understand what she¡¯s planning to do with me. Cause every time she talks, I don''t see she does anything at all. I watched them stomp their feet and walked away with expressionless on my face. What do I feel? Because their actions didn¡¯t affect my life much. Just a little annoyed but just brush it off a little, it''s gone. So why should I waste my energy on them, right? After all, they were gone, I felt true peace. I smiled softly before closing my eyes and letting my mind drift into the surroundings. ¡°Hmm¡ª the breeze is felt comfortable.¡± I felt the gentle breeze blow against my face as I breathed out the cozy and spellbound fragrance of the flowers in the garden. Such an atmosphere is suitable for reading a novel. So, it''s better to start reading. What''s the name of it? Hm¡ª ''Love noose''? It''s such an old-fashioned name, however, it''s the millionth nine hundred and seventy-eight thousand and seventy-two of my novels. Then, the atmosphere surrounding Lear was filled with the sound of the wind gently rustling the leaves together with the sound of the pages opening periodically and the chime of the hanging bell. Chapter 1: A terrible novel (1) "What do you think you are doing to Phenia, Lear!!" A young man''s roar resounded in the luxurious mansion of the Cabares family which is the United Kingdom of Albane''s top five wealthy families. The amethyst-eyed woman shone with sorrow and looked at the young man who is her husband, hugging another woman tenderly. The man was Draven Ernest, now Draven Cabares, and the other woman was Lear''s new maid, Phenia Talcum. Lear looked at the picture in front of her with the pain in her heart. How much did she love that man? Will he know? Why did he have to hurt her like this? Is it wrong for her to rightly defend her position beside him? until he accidentally hurt that woman, the person who came later but got all his heart. What did she do wrong? "Lear, I will divorce you. Sign the divorce papers!!" Draven''s words, like lightning, hit her heart. The tears that she had been holding back couldn''t stop flowing. She turned to look at Draven''s assistant, who had walked towards her, handing over the divorce papers, which had Draven''s signature on them. Only her signature remained. This document will be in full complete. No!! I''m not giving up!! Lear took out the divorce papers and ripped them apart while staring at Draven with vengeful eyes. "I''m not divorced!! If you want to be together a lot. Let''s stay together as an adulterer!" Draven heard Lear''s words then he gritted his teeth with anger. After that, he grimaced and said in a cold tone. "Then¡ª I''ll use the authority of the leader of the Cabares family to kick you out of this mansion due to Lear Cabares committed a serious crime by attempting to kill Phenia Talcum who is the innocent maid." Lear''s eyes widened in shock. Her amethyst purple eyes met Draven''s cold amber eyes with a broken heart. She had never imagined that she would be kicked out of the mansion where she was born. "No!! I''m not going. Aaaah¡ª let me go!! Don''t touch me!!" The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. Lear is crazy crying with eyes filled with tears. Her silver hair which used to be sleek long and flowing is now a tangled mess. Her bruised body and heart were dragged out of the mansion by the Cabares Knights according to Draven''s command. Losing the image of the beautiful young lady of the Cabares family. Swooosh!!! Bang!! The sound of books flying through the air and crashing against the walls of the room resounded along with the body of Lear who was panting. She stood looking at the novel she had just obtained from the mysterious old woman with anger in her eyes. "What kind of madness is this!! What kind of protagonists are they!! Let me die!! It''s just a sly, cold-blooded, greedy man. As for the female lead, it''s just a girl who doesn''t know any responsibility secretly adultery with the other husbands, that''s all!!" After shouting to express her emotions about the novel she just read. And coincidentally, the villainess of the story has a name like hers. This made her feel more inner emotional than usual, even though she wasn''t usually angry easily. The proof was that she was able to tolerate Elna''s ironically insult every day without even responding. "Oh, my goddess!! This is the worst novel out of millions and millions of novels I''ve read, idiot! The ending was happy with the female lead!! Despite them snatching everything from the villainess!! Bastard!!" Lear walked over to pick up the novel that had just been thrown away and stared at it with an unsatisfied look in her eyes. " Hey!! Lear!! What the matter? Why are you acting like you''re angry with someone like that? Or what did Elna do to you, again?" While Lear was scolding her words in her mind to a novel. Lear''s close friend, Ya li, called out to Lear at the front door withholding something up as soon as Lear saw her expression and mood suddenly change like turning the palm of her hand. "Ya Li!! That''s it!!" Lear carelessly threw that novel on the table. She ran to Ya Li and grabbed a paper bag with a cute logo emblazoned on it. Then smiled with sparkling eyes. " What''s up? Do you like it?" "This is it!! More than satisfying, thanks." Those items were Lear''s favorite cookies that she likes to spend time reading books because she was unable to leave the area of this house. And, the only way she tastes delicious cookies is from her best friend Ya Li bought them for her. " But what are you angry about?" Ya Li looked at her friend who happily hugged the bag of snacks. Before asking, she glanced at the book placed on the table. "Hmm¡ª that book, where did you get it from? I remember I had never seen that book." "Oh¡ª I just got it from a strange old grandmother yesterday. When I read it, I almost wanted to throw it away immediately." Lear glimpsed at the novel with an unsatisfied look in her eyes. "Haha¡ª then I''ll find a new one for you." "Um¡ª thanks. If it wasn''t for you, I would have been bored certainly." "It''s okay, oh!! I have to go, today is my cue to go there. If I''m not hurrying, it must be late for sure." "Um, see yah." Lear stood looking at her best friend who waved goodbye to her with a smile. Before turning around and walking into the house in a good mood humming without forgetting to take the unfortunate novel go with her. To be continued... Chapter 1: A terrible novel (2) In the middle of the night- Lear opened her eyes in the darkroom which she remembered was not her room. But she wasn''t surprised because she had encountered this way countless times, she slowly lifted herself and sat in the dark. After that she squinted her eyes, a light suddenly flashed from one side of the wall. When she turned around and her eyes refocused, she encountered a familiar monitor she suddenly smiles as her eyes continued to stare at the blanky monitor. ''No matter how many times I look at it, it''s edgy.'' She grumbled inwardly, but even then, she continued to stare at the monitor which shows the story of the novel ''Love noose'' that she read this morning from the beginning until the end of the story, Draven who is the male lead lives happily with Phenia the female lead. Although the couple was unable to marry again. Because the villainess, Lear, won''t sign the divorce papers. But even then, Lear eventually became a lunatic and lived in a small house outside the city so that no one is an obstacle to that happy ending life. But what hurts Lear the most is at the end of the story, there will be a special episode that shows the hero Draven use the reason that the ill-mannered villainess takes everything as his own. Then he changes the last name back to Ernest as before in the end, everything that belonged to the Cabares family became Ernest''s family. Finally, Lear Cabares has nothing left. This is her end. Is it reasonable? As soon as the whole story ends suddenly a door appeared, Lear smiled coldly. Then slowly got up and walked towards the door and grabbed the doorknob with a determined gaze with strong determination. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. ''It''s time for me to take revenge for you, Lear Cabares.'' As soon as Lear''s figure walked through the door, her body had completely changed. The hair that used to be dark brown gradually changed to silver as it gradually long into the middle of the back. The light brown eyes had turned into brilliant amethyst purple eyes without a faint glint sad anymore. "Ah¡ª the air here is refreshing." Lear closed her eyes and took a breath of the fresh air while looking down at the small village below with eyes that are hard to read and a cold smile that adorns her face. "Wait a minute¡ª I will turn this into a bad ending." ---------- After Lear becomes the villain in the novel ''Love Noose'', she revisits the whole story, slowly compiling all the memories that the old villainess, Lear, had transferred came to her after she appeared in this world to see what part of the story is now. But looking at her condition now she speculated that it was probably near the end of the story because if that Lear is here it means that it has passed when the old Lear was exiled by Draven. And now Draven is probably going to transfer all the assets that used to belong to the Cabares family to his own and change his surname from Cabares to Ernest for sure. Smash!!¡ª When she thinks that, the pen in Lear''s hand suddenly broke as the owner of the hand accidentally squeezed it. She looked down at the broken pen in her hand with cold eyes before slowly turning into a look of resentment. "Is this how you feel? Lear...don''t worry, I''ll take over from now on. I''ll take back everything that belongs to you and will make that male lead and female lead unhappy forever." Lear spoke up, trying to suppress the feeling of resentment that filled her heart almost she could hardly stand it. Until accidentally mauled the broken pen again with rancorous without caring that the broken pieces of wood would pierce her hand. To be continued... Chapter 2: Departure (1) Two days later¡ª Lear used all the money she had to hire a carriage to depart to Dinero. This is a town adjacent to Zeros, the capital city of Arbane, where the Cabares Mansion was located and the main office of the Cabares family. She had to go to this city, she has her reasons. Lear takes advantage of the information she reads from the novel she read when she lives in the old world. Although now the entire Cabares family will be controlled by Draven, she still has her way. The Eihenstein family is her last savior. They are Lear''s mother''s family, which had severed ties since Lear''s mother married her father and move into Cabares'' family. Fortunately, Lear remembered all the details of the story she had read. It makes her know what caused Lear''s mother, Daphne, to be cut off from the Eihenstein family. But that was in the past. She didn''t have time to think about it. She just must find a way to take Lear''s everything back no matter what method. Lear tightened the hoodie of the cloth cover tightly. As the carriage slowly passed through the gates of Dinero. She still doesn''t want to reveal her identity now. Because she didn''t want Draven to be aware of her movements. She wanted to move quietly in anticipation of the attack time. If it''s time to attack, she will unexpectedly attack. "Wait for me¡ª I''ll go to see you." Suddenly, the carriage stopped in the main carriage station in Dinero which is a large transport station that includes intercity carriages to depart between cities comfortably. And of course, the owner of that station could not belong to anyone if not the Cabares family. The carriage stations were located throughout the town of Zeros and there are almost a hundred stations scattered throughout Arbane country. Moreover, it has also spread to neighboring countries in the United Kingdom of Arbane too. All of them show the Cabares family''s wealth was invaluable. And all of that should have belonged to Lear the villainess, not the protagonist!! After paying the coachman Lear walked out of the station, not forgetting to take a veil to cover her lower face to prevent anyone from recognizing her. Then she walked straight to the local carriage station that only took the shuttle within the city. Because her next destination was a fairly long distance too far to walk. Lear''s next destination is The Eihenstein family mansion!! ---------- In front of Lear was a large iron door emblazoned with the Eihenstein family emblem. She immediately realized that this was her destination today. But she has a problem right now. She could only see a huge door, but the mansion she didn''t see at all. If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ''So, this is the Eihenstein family manor, isn''t it? Why It''s like the entrance to a national park.'' What made Lear think so was because next to that large iron door, she saw only large, shady trees scattered looking like the forest. Although it is seen as a long stone path, she didn''t see where it was going to end. Forasmuch it was surrounded by forests, forests, and forests, only the emblem of the family stamped at the door indicated that this was the residence of the Einstein, the family of knights. "Oh, God!!! How much area is this in here? If I walk along the path, how many days will I reach the mansion?" Lear thought hard, in the old world she rarely exercises. The thought of having to walk despite not knowing the true distance made her quite troubling. Suddenly, she heard a thumping sound coming from behind her. When she turned around, she saw a black huge carriage running towards her. She looked on the side of the car, she saw that it had the Eihenstein family''s emblem seal on it. This made Lear feel instantly refreshed. ''Oh- how lucky I am!!'' Then Lear didn''t think anything much, she immediately jumped in front of the carriage. Oh!! Neigh!! The shocking shout of the coachman combined with the sound of horses being pulled by him to abruptly stop causing the carriage to tremble helplessly. But that didn''t frighten Lear at all, she stared intently at the carriage. There was no ripple of trepidation in those amethyst eyes at all. "Hey!! what you are doing crazy boy!! The carriage almost overturned!! You see!! Darn it¡ª why there is a beggar hanging around here!" The insults of the coachman didn''t even get Lear''s attention. After seeing that the carriage had stopped. She didn''t hesitate and hurriedly walked towards the door of the carriage. When she got there, she saw a burly middle-aged man, with a sharp face even if he has gray hair but the overall look made the man look strong and respectable. Or is this the aura of the Arbane Knights family¡ª Besides, some symbols indicate the Eihenstein family''s intense bloodline those were the amethyst purple eyes that no one else in the United Kingdom of Abane could have. Unless that person had Einstein''s bloodline. The level of color intensity also indicates the closeness of the family. And this man had dark purple, almost black eyes. It was good evidence that this man has the real Einstein bloodline. Lord Camerian Eihenstein is one of the few baronet knights in the United Kingdom. He is Daphne''s brother who is Lear''s mother, or it''s her real uncle!! "Hey! Where you are going, get away from the carriage now!" Suddenly, Lear''s arm was pulled by the coachman to back away from the carriage. Then he turned to bow to the man on the carriage who looked at Lear with hard-to-read eyes. "I beg your pardon, Lord Camerian. I''ll take care of this kid myself." Then the coachman immediately turned around and pulled Liar''s arm to take her away but Lear resisted. This caused the coachman to exert more force, causing the hoodie covering Lear''s head to come off. As soon as Lord Camerian saw the look under the mole-colored cloak. His deep purple eyes immediately widened upon catching Lear''s purple amethyst eyes. ''That''s it!!'' "Hoy!! Not a child, but a woman!! Plus..." The coachman was shocked when he saw Lear. And what more shocked him was that this woman''s eyes were glowing purple. "Who are you?" Lord Cameron spoke up with a low tone but the might. This caused Lear to tremble, but even so, she maintained her composure before speaking in a tone that was not shaken sound. "Uncle, I have a favor to ask for your help!!" To be continued... Chapter 2: Departure (2) Lord Camerian looked at Lear with a grim look on his face. Although the girl in front of him had the blood of his beloved sister Daphne. But half of them had the blood of that disgusting family, Cabares family. The atmosphere was an awkwardness that Lear could perceive very well but she can''t do anything. Since he was the only one who can help her to take everything back from Draven, so she only had to wade through it. "What''s the point here? Then why is your condition like this, Lear? The Cabares family has abandoned you?" Lord Camerian''s mocking tone made Lear feel embarrassed. But even then, she could notice some ripples in his eyes, it was mourning. Despite seeing such a stern look but Lord Camerian seems to love his sister quite a lot which is a good sign for Lear. Because it means that the way to reclaim and revenge is not far away. "So it is, but the one who forsaken me was not the Cabares family, it''s Draven Cabares, who is my husband." Upon hearing Lear''s story Lord Camerian''s brows furrowed in suspicion. "Then why did you come to me? Why don''t you tell your father, Leon, about this?" It''s seemed Lord Camerian''s feud with the Cabares family has taken root in deep his mind too easy to forgive. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. "My father has passed away. Not only that, my mother too." Lear said in a sad tone, she clenched her fists, trying to suppress her regret. After her father took Phenia into the mansion as her private maid, his healthy suddenly became worse. His body is getting weaker and weaker and unable to work, had to let his son-in-law Draven take over the business instead. Not only her father so is her mother too!! Lear never thought that the two of them would fall ill at the same time. Even if a skilled doctor came to diagnose, no abnormalities were found. A few months later they both died at the same time, amid the doubts of her and the Cabares family''s relatives. Since then, all of Cabares'' affairs fell into the hands of Lear''s husband, Draven Cabares, without any objection from the rest of the Cabares family executives. She had no idea what kind of action Draven was going to do to persuade the people of the Cabares family to support him. It also made them unaware of the cause of her parents'' deaths as well. Or is that the protagonist''s skill¡ª Arr¡ª I want to puke, why isn''t that fair? And all that happened only a few months earlier. Before Lear was exiled from the Cabares Mansion. "Daphne¡ª Daphne...is it dead...when?" Lord Camerian''s voice trembled, making Lear realize how much he loved and cared for his sister. Lear took a deep breath and tried to normalize her mood then she told the whole story to Lord Camerian. Lord Camerian listened to the whole story from Lear with utmost anger but tried to suppress that anger. That Lear noticed from the bulging veins at the temples and both hands clenched into fists. For her, the Eihenstein family was her only hope. It''s the trump card that she will use to destroy his and her heavenly happiness. Draven Cabares and Phenia Talcum!!! To be continued... Chapter 3: Eihenstein (1) Three hundred years ago¡ª When Arbane was still a small country reigned by a monarchy. At that time the reign of Arbane was King Alexio VIII, who was to be written in history because he was the one who made the small country Arbane into the Arbane kingdom it is today. At that time, he had the intention of expanding Arbane''s territory. This is because Arbane is a small country in the middle of nowhere near the sea at all, making it difficult to trade with other countries. In addition, the landscape is an arid land. The livelihood of people in the country is always facing food shortages. As a result, Arbane country must import millions of tons of consumer goods from outside the country every year to solve the shortage problem. But in the bad, there are still some good things, Arbane has an important natural resource and is of great value. A large amount of gold and precious stones slumbered beneath Arbane''s land. This makes Arbane country enough power to negotiate purchases of consumer goods for his population. But even then, the value of the goods imported into the country every year is more expensive than usual. Owing to the partner countries seeing Arbane as being rich in gold and gems, they thought of using this method to pump out the resources in Arbane for their own by secretly raising prices and taxes on their products. Causing Arbane to pay for that product many times more than other places. The king who reigned Arbane at that time was reluctant to pay high prices because the area in Arbane is not capable of cultivation or farming. In those days, there was no central currency for trading. Therefore, if any country or anyone wants to trade, they must find something of equal value to trade. The determination of the value will be an agreement between both parties. The advantage is that partners are free to set their prices, but the disadvantage is that it can be unfair to trade if either side has more bargaining power. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. After King Alexis VIII inherited the throne from his father. He had the idea of taking those surrounding countries into his own to solve these problems. He is very specialized and outstanding in combat and warfare and has excellent negotiation skills. That was the beginning of Arbane''s colonization which was later called the event "Arbane''s Expansion War". His confidence in expanding the colony was not only because of his abilities but also because of his trusty knights who were like his left hand and right hand. The names of both are Kacarus Eihenstein and Neo Maeyer. King Alexis assigned Kacarus to lead his army to war against the West and Neo to go to the East. On the other hand, he divided the royal knight into two parts. The first part went with him to go to war on the North. The rest were to protect Arbane and keep an eye on the Southside. The southside of Arbane is alongside the desert area. Therefore, it is impossible that any enemy came from there. However, he thought that some countries might use this blind spot to attack Arbane. Therefore, the Royal Knights Army came to protect there instead. After Arbane started the war for territorial expansion. The surrounding nations were terrified, some nations resisted so a fight ensued. However, the more capable Arbane army was able to defeat those countries. Causing the rest of the country to fear the might of the Arbane army must agree to sign to be the Arbane colony. Finally, Arbane was able to expand its territory to cover almost the entire continent. Eventually becoming a superpower and calling himself and the nations under his own rule "the United Kingdom Arbane" which has solved the problem of importing consumer goods with fair prices. They can also bring in foreign technology to develop agriculture in Arbane making drought and food shortages can be completely solved. After the end of the war, King Alexis VIII also appointed the ''Baronet'' dignity, the highest dignity of knights to Kacarus Eihenstein and Neo Maeyer. Since then, the Eihenstein and the Mayer families have been known as the families of "The War Conquering Heroes" and have inherited to this day. And now the latest leader of the Einstein family is Lord Camerian who is Lear''s uncle. To be continued... Chapter 3: Eihenstein (2) Flap!! Lear closes the Eihenstein family history book before tapping her finger on the table lightly and thoughtfully. Even though she knew the whole story roughly from the novels she had read earlier. But when she knew such insights data she had never known before makes she felt quite excited. From that day she told Lord Camerian all her stories, he was immediately willing to help her which is considered a great pleasure for her. At least she had a strong supporter to support her makes what she will do next a lot easier. She had been at the Einstein manor for two days. After she had told Lord Cameron what she wanted. She hadn''t seen him at the mansion ever since. However, she understands because what she asked may take a little time to prepare but she thinks that may be in time before Draven submitted a petition for the management of the Cabares family''s assets to the Arbane Central Civil Court. The reason is the direct descendant of Leon Cabares, like her, was diagnosed as a lunatic unable to take care of all assets by herself. Therefore, he who is a legal husband has the right to manage that property. Fortunately, he would not be able to register his new marriage with Phenia without legally completing divorce proceedings. Thus, Phenia has no right to Cabares''s property even though she was Draven''s lover. However, Draven was able to register a new marriage while he registered with Lear there were only two cases. In the first case, Lear Cabares had died, and the body could be confirmed. Or if unable to find a body to confirm it will become the second case. That is Lear has disappeared for more than one year, and Draven must submit the document to a confirmation from the court that Lear is a missing person. After that, he can register a new marriage with Phenia. As for the confirmation of the corpse, Lear was also very worried that Draven would find another corpse to replace herself. Because there is no DNA testing technology like she has read in other novels. To prevent this, she had to ask Lord Cameron for help. Lear looked out the window with a thoughtful expression. Perhaps the story of her disappearance from there may have been known by Draven. If so, it could be both good and bad for her depending on how tolerant Draven is. If he had a little patience, he might find a way to kill her and find another body to confirm instead. But this way, he''ll have to take some risks because this method is too overt. According to his character, he would never risk using this method. But if it''s another way, it might be possible that is, to wait for a full year and submit documents confirming her disappearance. Because he probably wouldn''t have thought that a lunatic like Lear would survive in that barbaric border village. And although she was lucky to survive, he just only hired two assassins to kill her and eliminate her corpse this was a plan to make her complete disappearance. The disadvantage of this method is that it takes too long but the risk is not equal to the first method. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. No matter what method Draven uses, what Lear knew for sure was that Draven fidgeted certainly. Because according to the timeline of the story, after Draven kicks Lear Cabares out of the mansion. A month later he submitted a petition with the court to become the property manager. Hah¡ª Draven, what are you going to do now? Lear smiled before getting up to keep the book on the bookshelf she had picked up to read. Maybe it''s because in her former world she liked to read books makes her feel relaxed every time she is surrounded by books. Like the expansive library of Eihenstein''s mansion, where books from all over the world are gathered here. It''s not a bad way to kill time¡ª As Lear was walking to pick a new book to read, her gaze suddenly stumbled upon a very old book that was hidden at the end of a bookshelf. When she took it out and saw the letters on the cover of the book. She immediately let out a smile. ''Records of the Knights of Eihenstein'' Suddenly there were three light knocks on the door and a female maid who Lord Camerian had ordered him to minister appeared in front of the door. She walked in and bow and then said politely to Lear. "Sorry, Miss. It''s dinner time." "Um¡ª I get it." Lear gave a short reply, then glanced at the book in her hand and put it back where it was. ''Let''s read later after dinner'' Then she walked out of the library with a maid. ---------- The Cabares Mansion was located in the capital at the same time¡ª While Draven was reading the monthly earnings sheet in the office. Suddenly there was a light knocking sound and a beautiful woman''s figure appeared. Light blue hair and the same color eyes make her look soft, cute, and cherished. In her hand was a teapot tray that smoldered with the scent of tea drifting. "Draft¡ª I brought you some tea. I''ve seen you work for hours and am afraid you will tire yourself out." Draven put the document in his hand and smiled at the woman in front of him with a passionate expression. Then he got up and walked over to help her carry the tray instead. "Thank you so much Phenia, you can order the maids to do it instead. You don''t need to do this at all. You are not a maid now. But you are my lover." He put a tea tray on the table then took Phenia''s hand lovingly and brought her seated on the luxurious guest sofa. "It''s okay. I just want to make it for you and besides, you still haven''t divorced Madam Lear. So, I..." Draven immediately pulled Phenia into his embrace before he spoke in a confident tone with amber eyes without sparkling. "Phenia¡ª Don''t say that. The person who is my true love is you. It''s not Lear. Don''t worry, Phenia, soon I will register my marriage with you. And make you Mistress of Cabares, no¡ª Mistress of Ernest." Hearing this, Phenia''s heart immediately swelled. "Thank you so much for doing this for me, Draft¡ª I love you" She said and hugged Draven tightly. As for Draven, when he hears the words of love from the woman he is infatuated with. He immediately let out a happy smile. "I love you, Phenia." The atmosphere in the room was filled with affection that the two expressed to each other. The two of them sat snuggled together for a long time then Phenia spoke up. "I must go. I don''t want to disturb your work time. Don''t forget the tea I brought for you. I did for you all my heart." Phenia said with a sweet voice then she raised the teapot and poured the tea into a Draven cup. "Hmm¡ª it smells so good, it smells like you." "W- what are you talking about!" Phenia''s face flushed from Draven''s teasing. When Draven sees this, he laughed lightly, before raising his glass of tea to drink with a relaxed expression on his face. Without noticing that Phinia''s embarrassed expression had now disappeared. All that was left was a calm expression and cold eyes. To be continued... Chapter 4: The Ernest family (1) After Phenia left, Draven continued to work because during this period many stories occurred. Therefore, he had to take this time to finish everything quickly for the next plan. For years, he harbored a grudge and pretend to be good to the Cabares family. And it seemed like luck was on his side that all the plans seemed to go smoothly. The rest, it just only seized all of Cabares'' affairs and assets are taken back to him and the Ernest family. Because originally all of them belonged to Ernest, not Cabares! The Ernest family was originally a simple merchant family, running a trading business until they had a wealth of about one. Till his great-grandfather took the knowledge of being a carpenter to invent a rickshaw but use horses to drag them as transporting goods which later became popularly known as the carriage. At first, his great-grandfather only thought that it would be made to carry the goods that he had picked up from other cities to sell. Later the people''s demand for goods increased. Causing the need for many carriages then he had to make more carriages. So, his great-grandfather took this opportunity to expand his business by renting carriages for transport. After that, more people began to pay attention to the carriages because it''s more comfortable than riding a horse. Therefore, customers would always order him to make carriages for them. Until his great-grandfather saw the opportunity to earn a lot of money. So he started a business producing horse-drawn carriages, and it had a better response than expected. However, most of the customers will be wealthy people because the price of the carriage was too high for ordinary villagers to buy. The horse-drawn carriage business was then passed on to his grandfather as a second generation. His grandfather saw that only the wealthy could sit because they were the only group with purchasing power, but the poor and ordinary villagers still had to depart by horses, donkeys, or feet. So, he thought of making a cheap carriage for sale and started a carriage rental business for people who didn''t have enough money to buy an expensive carriage. This was a turning point for the Ernest family. When all business is booming, Ernest family became one of the wealthiest merchant families in the city at the time. After that, his father, Detias who is the eldest son of Ernest family was the successor of those enormous businesses from his grandfather. This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. His family was always happy. Until one day his happiness had to collapse on the day, he turned ten. The day he saw his father and mother die of poisonous pills because the Cabares family was forced to sell their business. From that day his life immediately began to plunge into misery. The wealthy Ernest family became bankrupt. The mansion he lived in had to be sold until he had no place to live. Besides that, his uncle, Draco, had disappeared. And then his father''s younger sister, Divanna, was married out and moved to the capital. Draven was unable to contact his uncle and aunt at all. In the end, he became an orphan at the age of ten and left alone since then. He has nowhere to go until a young pastor came to meet him and took him to a church located in a small village that is far from prosperity. His savior''s name was Pastor Stefan Salami. Draven regarded him as his second father because if the pastor didn''t help him, he probably wouldn''t survive to this day. When he was at church, he always studied and work hard to improve himself. Pastor Stefan had mercy on him very much and supported him in everything. Till he had knowledge that could go out and live on his own. When he turns fifteen, which is the age that is considered mature. He said goodbye to Pastor Stefan and left the church to live his way with another friend. He saw the Cabares family''s recruitment announcement posted all over the place. Thus, some feeling that had once slept in him began to awaken again and that''s the beginning of his revenge on the Cabares family. He started to apply as an accountant for the Cabares family. It was thanks to Pastor Stefan that he had hired someone to teach him about accounting made him enough to have some knowledge of the account. And it seems that luck was on his side because he got that job as expected. Leon Cabares, who had taken all of Ernest''s affairs, saw his talent. Therefore, let him work in the position of his aid. It made him closer to Leon and his way of revenge grew closer to the truth. Then he met a girl four years younger than him, Lear Cabares, and it seemed that she liked him very much. So suddenly some plan popped up in his head. Until now, more than thirteen years had passed since he had suffered the pain that the Cabares family had given him. It''s close to being true. He immediately married Lear two years ago. His plan was ninety percent successful and soon he will completely do all plans. To be continued... Chapter 4: The Ernest family (2) Draven looked at the document in his hand with a light smile before he looked away at another document, he had just received from Axel Fox who is his aide. The document reports that his wife, Lear Cabares, disappeared from the villa where he ordered her to be there. He is pending his submission to the Central Civil Court of Arbane that she was not able to look after all the Cabares family''s assets. So, he who is her legal husband will be the custodian of all property instead. But he did not expect that she would disappear without a trace like this. If she''s gone forever, it''s good for him. Because he would use this point to submit documents to Lear as a missing person instead. Then he would register to marry Phenia, the woman he loved, even if he must wait a full year. ¡®It seems that he must do it quickly.¡¯ Draven smiled and thought of Phenia''s face with a passionate expression. Every time he thinks of her, he would feel as if he was intoxicated by something. It caused his desire for to her was crazy increased. He had never imagined that he could love and fall in love with her so much. And she was the only one who can make him feel this way. Suddenly, he felt a severe headache and almost fell. If he didn''t support himself by putting his hand on the desk, his head would hit the ground certainly. ¡°Oh- again?¡± Draven muttered, after that he tried to open the drawer and rummage to find something. When he found it, he took it out. It was a small pill bottle. He quickly opened it and poured a few pills into his hand. Then he immediately took them. He slowly walked to the sofa not far from his desk and immediately laid down. After a while, he fell asleep. Shortly after Draven fell asleep, the door of the office room was slightly ajar. It revealed Phenia''s light blue eyes that looked at Draven with an anxious look before she slowly closed it back on. ---------- At the Eihenstein Manor at the same time¡ª Lear collapsed on the bed exhausted. Today was another day that she used a lot of her brain because she can''t be relaxed in this situation. If Draven has successfully submitted the documents to become Cabares asset manager, it will be many times more difficult than before. This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. So, to avoid all those hassles, she needed to deal with these matters as quickly as possible. But even then, being too rushed is not good. She had to plan everything carefully, not to let a loophole that would allow the enemy to attack her. ¡°Sigh¡ª why is living so hard?" Lear stared at the ceiling of her bed, thinking back to when she went to edit the plot of the millions of novels she had read. Which each story she went in to change something in it. She had to face many deaths, injuries, and pains like this. Even so, every time she finishes reading the novel, she often ends up waking up in a dark room and the strange door appeared, like this time. The way to return to the original world was to clear all the clues that she suspected of them when reading the novel. The doorway of her return to her former world will reappear. This time too, if she can get justice back to Lear Cabares, who has a name like her, then it''s done. And she could return to the former world. ¡°Sigh¡ª the more I think about it, the more I feel like I don''t want this to happen again¡­ I hope this is the last story. It is very tiring." Lear hurriedly bounced up and clenched her fists, telling herself in a determined tone. ¡°If I go back¡ª I''m going to stop reading novels!!¡± ''But whether it can be done or not is another matter. She thought to herself before laying down again. After that turning to lie on the side. Suddenly, she glanced at an old book cover she had found in the library before dinner. ¡°Um¡ª can''t sleep at all. Let''s read a book instead." Then she got up and picked up the book and read it until several hours had passed. Her eyelids began to protest and slow closed, and the open book was put on her chest. Along with Lear''s steady breathing, it signaled that she was already in a deep sleep. ---------- At the same time, at a church in a small village in the suburbs¡ª Even though it was already late at night Pastor Stefan still sits with his eyes closed and meditates in the chapel. This chapel has a golden Buddha statue unlike any other temple in Arbane because most of Arbane''s population worships the goddess Aden. Pastor Stefan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Buddha statue with a calm and gentle expression. Before he spoke softly in the Pali language but reverberated throughout the chapel. ¡°Sabbe satta kammassaka kammayuda kammayoni kammaphandhu kamma patisarana¡­¡± He paused for a moment and continued. ¡°All beings have their karma; karma is caused by the action. Karma is the birthplace determinant. Everyone has karma as a follower, having karma as a destiny..." Pastor Stefan looked out of the chapel window. He stared at the big round moon that shone brightly in the sky with a face that was hard to read. ¡°Wherever you are in this world or another whatever the world, karma will always follow everywhere. No matter what life, karma will always follow and be inherited as heirs.¡± At this point, the pastor sighed again. ¡°No one can escape from their karma.¡± After sitting for a while, Pastor Stefan turned to pay his respects to the Buddha statue before walking out of the temple. As he was closing the door of the chapel, he stared at the Buddha statue again for a moment before muttering his last sentence. ¡°Yang kammang karissanti, Kalyanang wa papakang va, Tassa Heida Bhavissanti¡­. What deeds will you do? Is it merit or sin? must be the one who will continue to receive the results of that deed.¡± Then the door of the temple slowly closed. To be continued... Chapter 5: Unexpected (1) The next morning at the Eihenstein Manor¡ª Lear woke up with a tired expression. Because that night, she stayed up and read a book a little late. Until she forgot that today she had an appointment with the doctor at Lady Rana who is Lord Camerian''s wife and her aunt, made an appointment with the doctor to check her state of mind. And then, guaranteed a document confirming that she was not the lunatic as Draven had been accused of her. If it was before, maybe yes. But not with the currently! "I''m going to die, I''m so sleepy." Lear''s muffled murmur rang out. While sitting for the maid to brush her hair, put on make-up, and get dressed to have breakfast before an appointment with the doctor. ¡°Miss, can''t you sleep?¡± The maid asked as she noticed the darkening under Lear''s eyes. In addition, Lear''s expression was not very fresh. Made the maid feel a little worried as well. Three days before she saw Lear, she still couldn''t believe that Lear was the real grandson of her lord, Lord Cameron. Because of the condition she saw, she felt extremely pitiful for this woman. Both old dirty clothes and her shabby body seemed as if she hadn''t had any proper food for a long time. But the only thing that convinced her that Lear was the Lord''s grandson was the amethyst purple eyes, the signature of the Eihenstein bloodline. Since that day, she has overseen taking care of this lady. Until today, she could tell that this lady was beautiful and dignified. Both long, silky silver hair and white skin matched her elegant eyes. More importantly, she felt Lear''s aura was majestic and respectable different from the general lady she had ever seen. But today was the first day she saw the other side of this Lear who has femininity like any other woman. ¡°Yawn¡ª I just didn''t get enough sleep. Last night I read a book a little late. I''m so tired today. Thank you, Mia, for worrying about me.¡± Mia gave a small smile before brushing her hair gently. "It''s done, Miss." The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and the sound of the butler of the Eihenstein manor coming to warn of breakfast time. Lear took a deep breath and immediately adjusted her mood to get ready because she had so much to do today. ---------- ¡°Good morning, Aunt.¡± Lear bowed her head and greeted Lady Rana gracefully until Lady Rana couldn''t help but admire her in her heart. ¡°Um¡ª sit down, Lear¡­but why is your face like that? Are you not feeling well? Is the bedroom uncomfortable? Do I change the room for you?" Lady Rana asked worriedly. The first day she saw this young woman she felt pity when she listened to her story. She was furious at those people who had attacked this fragile woman. "Never mind aunt, I just don''t sleep enough because I''m reading a little late. There is nothing that Auntie has to worry about.¡± Lear replied with a smile because she didn''t want Rana to worry her too much. After that her eyes landed on the seat at the head of the table that was the seat of Lord Cameron''s mansion, it was empty. ¡°But¡ª where did uncle go?¡± ¡°Oh¡ª Camel had some urgent business to take care of, so he left early this morning. I think that he probably returns in the afternoon." Hearing Rana''s answer, Lear nodded in recognition immediately before turning her attention to the food in front of her that was slowly being served in order and eating quietly. After having passed breakfast, the butler came to inform Rana that the special guest she had made an appointment with had arrived. She immediately got up and prepared to go out to meet that special guest. ¡°It seems that the doctor that you wants has arrived. Let''s go together." Rana said with a kind smile which made Lear feel deeply touched. Because at least in this world she still had someone she could rely on even though only met for a few days. ¡°Auntie¡­¡± Rana paused and turned to look at Lear, who was still standing at the dining table, not following her as she understood. Then she was shocked to see that Lear bowed to her and said a word that made her almost unable to hold back tears. ¡°Thank you for helping me. I will never forget this kindness.¡± ¡°Lear¡­¡± Suddenly, Lear felt the warmth of Rana''s embrace while she was standing and bowing her head. It made her miss her mother terribly. She felt the warmth in her heart along with the feeling of wanting to cry gradually overflow. ''This is¡ª it''s your or mine feeling, Lear.'' ¡°You don''t even need to say that word, Lear. However, you are someone with the same blood as Camerian and be my family now. How am I supposed to stand still and not help my family?¡± "Thank you very much, auntie." Rana pulled away and spread her finger over the tears that had overflowed from those amethyst eyes before giving Lear a gentle smile. ¡°Remember, Lear. Even if everyone in this world turns their backs on you but we, the Einstein family, will never turn our backs on you. Because you are the last precious thing that Daphne has left for Camerian and us. You don''t know how much Camerian loved his sister¡­¡± Hearing those words, Lear smiled, recalling the book she had read last night. ''I know¡ª I know very well, Auntie that how much uncle loves my mother.'' To be continued... Chapter 5: Unexpected (2) ¡°Hmm¡ª I checked overall. You are physically and mentally healthy and normal. As for the confirmation document, you''ll have to wait a week because the professor must seal it as well.¡± The young doctor who was a special guest of the Eihenstein family today said after conducting a physical and mental examination of Lear finish. He used his fingers to move the monocle into place before bending down to write down all her symptoms on a piece of paper in earnest. Lear carefully observed the young doctor in front of her. The warm light golden eyes and slightly messy light brown hair made this man look more like a nerd researcher than a doctor. If she were a rough estimate of the young doctor''s age, she thought he was probably a little older than her. But even then, this young doctor''s face was considered quite good. If he redressed a new costume with the fashionable men''s suit and made new hairstyling, Lear can guarantee that he will be handsome for sure. However, she must focus on her health certificate documents first. Because if it was what the young doctor had said, it was too long. By that time, Draven may have submitted the case before the court already. ¡°There''s no other faster way? I need this document urgently. There would be no time to wait for that much.¡± Lear said with a worried expression. Although according to the timeline of the story, Draven submitted a petition a month later after he had kicked Lear out of the mansion. And if she tried to calculate the original story timeline, it''s only been over a week that he kicked Lear out. She''s that Lear now. From her experience, she believed that the plot would change certainly. But how to change it, she didn''t know. Knowing only that she might move as fast as she can. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. ¡°Lucas¡ª You have no other way? Can the other professor stamp the seal instead?¡± The young doctor, whose full name is Lucas Argenta, thought about pondering Lady Rana''s suggestion before speaking in an unsure tone. ¡°Maybe it can, but if the fastest is three days because the professors have a meeting at Zeros and finish in the next three days. There may be some professors who will return. But if it''s the professor I work with, it''s next week.¡± Seeing that Lucas had tried so hard to help, then Rana turned to ask Lear''s opinion. ¡°Lear, what do you think?¡± ¡°It''s better than waiting until next week. Three days is fine. Thank you very much doctor for helping me.¡± "Not at all, I''m willing to help you... Besides, you can call me Lucas just like Lady Rana." Hearing this, Lear smiled and spoke to him in a sincere tone. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lucas.¡± Lear''s smile made Lucas''s face blush red. Because he was mostly in the research room with the professor. There were some times he came out to treat the patients. But most of his patients were old people. Or even though he had treated women before, he had never been shaken by any woman before. "Uh- ah- yes, it''s fine." Rana, who had noticed the young doctor''s expression, immediately smiled euphorically. Because since she met Lucas, she had never seen him act like this before. If it was him, she was ready to go ahead, and support Lucas had a relationship with Lear fully. Before long, a soft atmosphere spread all around. Suddenly, the door to Lear''s room knocked and opened, then Lord Cameron appeared with a serious expression on his face before he spoke to Lear in a serious tone. ¡°Lear!! Something big has happened.¡± Hearing that sentence came along with Cameron''s serious expression. Lear began to have a bad intuition that things were beginning. She tried to calm down and asked Camerian curiously, even though in her heart she was terrified of the answer she would receive from now on. "What''s wrong, Uncle?" ¡°There is a movement from the Cabares family that tomorrow Draven will apply to the court to be the manager of all Cabares''s assets!¡± As soon as she heard that Lear''s heart fluttered along with being stunned. Even though she already knew and guessed that the plot of the novel might change. But she didn''t think it would change like this. ¡®Why- why is he in such a hurry?¡¯ To be continued... Chapter 6: The second unexpected departure (1) Lear sat tensed, contemplating a way to stop Draven from successfully submitting a petition. If she had gone to Zeros today, it would have been too late, and she didn''t have any definitive documentation to refute his petition. But if it continues like this, then he will be able to submit the petition successfully and become a legal Cabares properties manager. ''Damn!! That bastard!!'' The distance between Dinero and the capital city, Zeros, was quite a distance. To travel to Zeros by horse-drawn carriage, would take half a day to travel. Lear tries to think about the plot of the novel she reads and what information it contains that could help her in times of crisis like this time. ¡°Uncle, can I ask you something?¡± Lear suddenly turned to Lord Camerian with a serious expression on her face. It made Lord Cameron''s brows furrow in question. ¡°What are you going to ask?¡± ¡°I would like to know how long the court approval process takes. And before approving one request from the court, what do they do?¡± Upon hearing Lear''s question, Camerian smiled, understanding what Lear wanted to convey. ¡°Um¡ª normally the process of filing an application is not an easy one, there is a process. If Draven submits a request tomorrow, the court must take time to examine the evidence submitted by the applicant before¡­¡± As soon as Lear heard this, she felt that there was still a chance to find a way that can solve the solution. This caused her stress levels to drop gradually. It''s good to keep in mind that in solving every problem that comes up, the only thing that will always help is consciousness. When there is consciousness, what follows is wisdom. And it is wisdom that will be finding the real solution to the problem. This is the teaching that the Buddha had said a long time ago. ¡°In deciding whether to approve the petition or not, the President of the Central Council must first review the petition and request a referendum from the small court jury. If the resolution is unanimous, the petition will be effectively approved from the date the President of the Central Council seals the petition. This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. But if any jury has some credible evidence to oppose the petition. The president of the Central Council must immediately submit the case to the judge to open the court of inquiry even though the resolution was unanimous. This is to be fair to both parties.¡± Lear immediately smiled. Because she would expect to invalidate Draven''s claim and reclaim all Cabares''s possessions. ¡°Wait, uncle. Did uncle just say...the jury?¡± ¡°Yes, the jury- There are two sets of juries in court: a small jury consisting of five Arbane-certified legal advisers, and an elite jury consisting of high-ranking nobles. From the baron up to the duke, a total of 24 people, each representing the family, attended the hearing and would consider and vote in the court under the control of the judge....¡± Camerian also explained that the court system in Arbane was a single court system. To give the Court of Justice the power to decide all types of disputes, including civil cases, criminal cases, administrative cases, or other types. There will be 4 courts responsible for judging a case, there were the Civil Court, the Criminal Court, the Administrative Court, and the Knight Court. Each of which there will be a president of Courts who will accept the petition for consideration with the small jury. Even though Lear had already read the novel. But these details are not clearly explained in the novel. Because the novel would focus on the story of love as the main cause she to not know these details at all. Even so, it was fortunate that she had the Eihenstein family''s help. Otherwise, she would have resorted to reckless methods such as breaking into the Cabares mansion and foolhardy beating Draven. When she first heard the news about Draven from her uncle, she almost packed her bags and prepared to go to Zeros now. It''s good that she asks her uncle first. ¡°Um¡ª Uncle, do you know how many days it takes for the review process to approve?¡± End of Lear''s question Camerian glanced at his wife, Rana, before speaking. ¡°That thing¡ª you shall ask your aunt better.¡± ¡°Auntie?" Lear raised her eyebrows in suspicion. He turned to Rana who was sipping tea with a calm expression. Then she was putting down the teacup with a graceful expression and turning to Lear with a mischievous smile. ¡°Because I am the favorite daughter of the President of the Arbane Central Civil Court!¡± Rana''s words caused Lear''s amethyst purple eyes to widen in shock. With a shocked expression that made Rana laugh softly, Camerian unconsciously made a proud expression on his wife. Lucas only gave a faint smile with his warming personality. Lear had already begun to get conscious to some extent. Her face instantly grew into a wide smile before screaming in her heart with happiness. It made her feel a whole lot more confident. ''Oh¡ª I just found out that Lear Cabares has an excellent helper!!'' To be continued... Chapter 6: The second unexpected departure (2) The next morning¡ª After yesterday''s talks with Rana about the details of the process of the Central Civil Court. She was already feeling relieved because before the request is approved, it takes about 3 - 5 days at least depending on the evidence attached. So, she decided to go to Zeros today. Zeros is the capital of Arbane which is a large city that is the main location of the Cabares business group. Also, the Cabares family mansion was located here. Even if it''s a bit too fast but Lear had already made up her mind that she might have to face Draven and Phenia. On the other hand, she was excited more than expected. She did not know that it was the feelings of the old Lear that remained, or is it her feeling that she will meet the protagonists in the novel? Lear stood looking at Mia carrying her luggage with a cheerful smile on her face. Unlike last night when she knew that Lear will be leaving here, she cried to death and begged Lear that she wanted to follow along. When her aunt offered to take Mia with her as her personal maid. Mia suddenly stopped crying and her eyes fluttered open to beseech with her. After Lear saw it, she felt sympathetic and therefore had to take Mia to Zeros as well. At first, she intended that after obtaining a health certificate from a doctor and finding skilled legal counseling, she will go to Zeros alone to handle everything. But after four days at the Eihenstein Manor, it made her realize something. That is, if you want to do a great something, you need a great helper. And her great helper now was the Eihenstein family. In addition to Mia, she also had two people to along with her on the journey. The first was Dr. Lucas Argenta, as he was the key to issuing her health certificate. He had to go with her because he would be holding this document to his professor who attended the meeting that Zeros for stamped it. This would be faster than waiting for the professor to come back to Dinero and stamp it. Instead of waiting for the swamp to come, wouldn''t it be better to walk into the swamp by yourself? This is what Lear thought¡ª The other person who will be along with her, Lear never thought that person would go with her. That was Lady Rana Eihenstein, her aunt-in-law. Because her aunt was the daughter of Earl Kyrell Elberos, the president of the Central Civil Court of Arbane which is considered the most important helper of Lear. In addition, the residence they were going to live in was the Elberos Mansion. Many of her plans were starting to turn out to be smoother than expected. There is only one problem, that is... This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. ¡°Rana- are you really going...didn''t you miss me? If you go, who will I be with? And if you are sick, who will take care of you if not me...Rana?¡± Now everything is going well. However, there is one big obstacle that stands in our way right now. Lear''s solemn uncle, Camerian, stood hugging his wife Rana with words and gestures that didn''t seem like the commander of the right-wing knights of the emperor. Who would have thought that the middle-aged man stared at her as fiercely as a lion the first day they met it will become a giant kitten that is pleading with its owner like this!! Where has all the dignity of the knight nation gone? Lear thought. But it seemed that everyone in the Eihenstein Manor was very familiar with that behavior. Because they didn''t seem surprised at all. On the other hand, they still acted like they were preparing for something. Rana just glanced and sent a signal, the butlers as well as the knight guards immediately rushed in and locked Camerian''s arms acting like he is a prisoner. This was never mentioned in the novel. Lear supported the chin and looked at the events in front of her on the carriage in a relaxed manner. Which was considered a recreation before she would face the stressful event at Zeros. ¡°If you feel bad, just tell me because I have a medicine that will cure the carriage motion sickness.¡± Suddenly, Lucas, who was sitting across from Lear, spoke and tightened a box-shaped bag marked with a red vertical cross which she guessed was his first-aid bag for sure. ¡°Thank you very much, Dr. Lucas. Besides, you can just call me Lear.¡± As soon as Lear finished speaking and smiled at him, she noticed that Lucas''s ears were slowly turning red. Plus, his expressions didn''t look normal as well. His face was red, and when his eyes met her, he immediately averted his gaze, she was a little happy to see his expression. In addition, the handsome face of these warm styles made Leia''s heart feel unbelievably joyful. ''My godfather'' Suddenly, the carriage door opened. Rana had a bored expression on her face as she sat up next to her. ¡°Sigh¡ª because Camel alone wasted the time.¡± When the carriage door closes, Leia''s aunt immediately began to complain about her husband. Lear turned to look at the manor once more and saw her uncle Camerian who was caught by the Eihenstein guard knight trying to run after the carriage with a loud shout of her aunt''s name. ¡°It seems that uncle loves auntie very much.¡± Lear said. This caused Rana who was sitting on the side to sit still and stiff. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the carriage began to change. So, Lear realized that there was something strange when she turned to look at Rana who was sitting next to her, and she was faced with another surprise. Her aunt''s white face was flushed red with a shy expression like a young girl! ¡°Oh¡ª Lear¡­What do you say? I''m embarrassed.¡­ Uh¡ª Look, aunt''s face is all red, see? By the way, what if I was not there with Camel will he eat on time? Ah¡ª and if he stays up late and gets sick, what should I do...., ow¡ª talking about it makes me miss and worry him a lot already, Camel!!¡± Lear watched her aunt raving about her husband with an indescribable feeling. Ah¡ª this is what we call a couple who always have the same precepts. Lear just understood well today. To be continued... Chapter 7: The capital of Arbane (1) Meanwhile, at the Civil Court of the Arbane Central Council¡ª A large white chariot adorned with the Cabares family''s crest came to a stop in front of the large white building. The fa?ade is adorned with the emblem of a winged sword with balanced leaning scales, symbolizing the Arbane''s Court of Justice. It implies that justice must be fair and honest arbitrament like the balance scales on both sides. The winged sword meant precision and decisiveness, justice from God without racial discrimination. That is the motto of Arbane''s Court of Justice. After the carriage had completely stopped. The coachman came down to open the door for his master who revealed a tall and slender young man dressed up in elegant clothes. The lustrous black hair was set up nicely and the non-gleaming amber eyes stared unwaveringly at the entrance to the courthouse making his personality look credible. Besides that, a handsome face that looked like a sculpture made him attractive to the many mature and unmarried women who passed by. Unfortunately, this young man had already married. However, he intended to divorce soon but he already had the owner of his heart. This caused the women to retreat as Arbane''s law only allowed a man to register one marriage at a time. And of course, the man who now controls the Cabares family is Draven Cabares, or his original name was Draven Ernest! Today he came to the Arbane Central Civil Court to file a petition to be the custodian of all Cabares assets. ¡°Draft¡ª Are you really going to submit? We haven''t been able to find Miss. Lear yet. Why are you in such a hurry to submit a request like this?¡± Next to Draven, another man with a completely different personality stood beside him. He was with a worried expression, unlike Draven who had no fear expression on his face. That man was a childhood friend and Draven''s personal assistant, his name is Axel Fox. Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. ¡°You don''t need to doubt anything. Just do as I tell you.¡± After that, Draven walked into the court immediately. Axel gazed with concern before following him in. ''It''s not like you, Draft.'' Even thinking so, he couldn''t tell what was on his mind. Axel had known Draven ten years before. He was one of those raised by Pastor Stefan. When Draven decided to come to the capital, he persuades Axel as well. Axel, who had studied everything along with Draven, wanted to go out and explore new experiences, so he followed Draven. Until Draven married the daughter of Arbane''s wealthiest entrepreneurs, the Cabares family. Then Draven became one of the executives in the affairs of Cabares. After that, he stepped into full care after the sudden death of his father-in-law. Draven offers Axel to work as his aide. He had always known about Draven''s revenge. He had forbidden Draven many times, but it seemed that this revenge of Draven was beyond forgiveness. So, Axel could only support Draven from a distance and warn him when he began to be consumed by the demons of vengeance. No matter how revengeful Draven is, one of his personalities is always someone who does things that require a careful plan. However, after Draven met that innocent maid, Phenia Talcum. Axel could feel that Draven had changed. From being an open person and always having something to talk about and discuss with him about everything, now he turned into a quiet introvert but always stays with Phenia. Besides, Draven''s mood fluctuated, and his eyes changed like a lifeless person, Axel didn''t know exactly why. After all, he felt a strange feeling about Phenia too. Even though she looked innocuous on the outside, gentle, neat, and sweet. But to Axel, she had a strange atmosphere that gave him goosebumps. Unlike, Miss Lear that who was not a neat person and sweet like Phenia but every word and deed of hers was filled with sincerity. ''Father, what should I do?'' Axel could only keep his worries to himself, couldn''t tell anyone. One thing he could do is help Draven from a distance and protected him as much as Axel can. To be continued... Chapter 7: The capital of Arbane (2) Lear grabbed Lucas''s hand and got down from the carriage with a tired expression without concealing. Causing Lucas to secretly smile at her unconcealed expression. Even though Lear had ridden a horse carriage once, she was not used to bumping with the rhythm of some rough roads. It made her dizzy and her butt hurt. Fortunately, the Eihenstein carriage was the ultimate luxury. The inside of the carriage was spacious, and the seats were well padded with duvets. This reduces the bumps to some extent. Otherwise, her butt would have been bruised certainly. When she stretched herself until it gradually relieved tiredness, she turned her attention to the grandeur of the Elberos Mansion, Lear''s aunt''s father. And found that it was magnificent like the Eihenstein Mansion. A large white marble mansion in contrast with the black bituminous tile roof. Plus, a marble fountain of the same color as the mansion is decorated with a golden statue of a Goddess on top. This caused Lear''s eyes to glow because she had never seen it before. Well, of course¡ª in her former world she lived in a tiny two-story wooden house with not much usable space. Plus, once in this world, the house that old Lear last lived in before she took her place was small and shabby. As for the Eihenstein mansion where she had been for four days, she didn''t have much time to appreciate it. Because she''s so focused on finding a way to prevent Draven from seizing Lear''s assets, that she''s engulfed in her bedroom and library. ¡°Miss Lear is feeling better, right? If not, you can always tell me.¡± Lucas'' soft and bass voice made Lear, who was excited by the architecture in front of her, suddenly woke up. She turned to Lucas, who was looking at her through monocle with concern. Her heart suddenly pounded for no reason. ''Such like a true god'' ¡°Miss Lear, what''s the matter? Why is your face red? Or are you sick?¡± Lucas noticed Lear''s unusual symptoms. So, he rushed in to prepare for a preliminary diagnosis until Lear had to hurriedly raise her hand to stop his misunderstanding. She told him with her blushed face. "It- It''s okay, I''m just a little excited so my face is red." She didn''t know whether he would believe her excuses or not, but she only knew that she had to escape from this awkward situation quickly. Lucas halted before giving a puzzled look to her face. This caused Lear to have a chance to step away from him slightly and focus on the mansion in front of him instead. You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. ''Hoo¡ª it''s relieved.'' All these situations were in Rana''s eyes. She used a fan to cover her sly smile while staring curiously at Lucas and Lear''s expressions. ''It''s really interesting'' ¡°Let''s go inside first. As for the baggage, let the butler carry it to you. I had already sent a letter in advance. They seem to have finished preparing the room for us. Let''s go get some rest for now. Then let''s have dinner together. As for the next plan, we can talk about it later, okay?" Rana spoke up and Lear agreed. Because she was so tired, now she wanted to lay down on a soft bed. ¡°Good idea! because I want to rest too. I''ve been riding in a horse-drawn carriage for a long time and I''m all tired.¡± Rana turned to give orders to an elderly man dressed as a butler. ¡°Um¡ª Then Pierre Chief Butler, would you mind escorting Dr. Lucas and Miss Lear to their room? I''ll go greet my mother." Lear turned to look at Mia who was standing behind her with a fresh expression completely devoid of exhaustion. That made her think in one person. Is Mia not tired? ¡°This is my first time, that have traveled this far. For the past sixteen years, I''ve been in Dinero. I''ve never traveled outside of the city. I am very glad now, miss.¡± Mia''s excited words made Lear understand why she looked so rejuvenated which is normal for a girl of this age. Even though in this world, being sixteen was considered an adult. But for a Lear who is so old that it cannot be numerically specified, she still thought that Mia was still a child. ---------- Lear collapsed onto the large four-poster bed, feeling indescribably exhausted. Before she closed her eyes to sleep, suddenly, the door in front of the room had a soft knock, and a familiar thump sounded through the door. ¡°Miss Lear, are you asleep yet... I have one thing that I want to give you.¡± Hearing this, Lear immediately bounced up and shifted swooping towards the door. Then she opened the door, it revealed Lucas who was smiling in front of her with a beautiful glass bottle in his hand. ¡°Dr. Lucas, what''s wrong?¡± Lucas was stunned. A red streak appeared across his face and spoke out with a shy expression. ¡°That is¡ª I see you are tired. So, I brought herbal aroma oils that help you relax. Just applying it to the area of pain will help you relieve it.¡± Seeing Lucas''s expression, Lear felt an unbelievably warm heart. "Thank you very much I will use it well.¡± She took it and smiled at him. This made the red-streaked face even redder. Lucas felt that he was embarrassed when seeing Lear''s smile made him feel the abnormality of his heart. So he hurriedly bowed slightly and left immediately. ''How cute!'' Seeing this, Lear chuckled, closed the door, and sat down on the bed. She considered the glass bottle that she had just received from Lucas, then opened the cork and tried to smell it. ¡°Hmm¡ª Smells so good... Let''s try and see that the properties will be like he said or not.¡± So, Lear slowly put a few drops of the aroma oil on her palm and applied it to both shoulders. And found that all the aches and pains had vanished like a miracle. ¡°Wow¡ª this is so damn good. This thing is awesome. How much profit can I make if I sell it?¡± Suddenly, Lear''s mind began to pop up with many business ideas and imaged the huge amount of money she thought she would earn by selling these aroma oils. ¡°Oh¡ª don''t even think about it, Lear. Now let''s focus on the next plan first. Think about money later.¡± Lear laid down again. Then she fell asleep easily. To be continued... Chapter 8: Obstacle (1) The next morning¡ª After Lear had fully rested, she was refreshed and immediately prepared for the next step. Although it had to be done faster than usual, she didn''t fear it because she still had a way to a solution. Since arriving at Elberos Manor yesterday, she hadn''t seen Earl Kyrell at all. She only met the Earl''s wife, Countess Renia, Aunt Rana''s mother. The Elberos family was one of the oldest families, almost two hundred years old. The ancestor received the title of ''Earl'' from King Alexander I, the son of King Alexis VIII, the hero of Arbane. Since then, this prestigious title has continued to the present day. After Lear had greeted the countess, she realized that the countess was a very kind woman. She was kind and always had a smile to welcome her. The only issue is that her health is not very well. It made her able to live only in the room and the glass garden dome. Rana briefly told her that her mother had an allergy. The countess''s condition became more and more severe after she gave birth to Rana''s brother who was ten years younger than her, Lord Rainel Elberos. He was the future head of the Elberos family and the Earl title successor from his father. Lear couldn''t see Lord Rainel at the manor right now. Rana told her that because Lord Rainel had traveled abroad a lot, seldom returned to the manor. It was because his occupation was ambassadorship that he had to represent the royal family to negotiate various matters abroad, which was considered the pride of the Elberos family. Besides, Lord Rainel is considered the youngest ambassador in history at only thirty years old. The more time passed, the more Lear felt extraordinary of Lear Cabares, the villainess in the novel that was not written in the story. If consideration the overall picture, Lear Cabares is considered a person who is perfect in everything, unlike the male lead who had lost all his family until he was left alone. Or the female lead who came from an ordinary family had nothing special but a sweet face and manner that attracted the male lead. But what Lear Cabares didn''t have is luck. Because even though she had a happy life, was born into a warm family. But her ending in the novel was such a pitiful ending as the flip of a palm, truly pathetic. ''It''s okay¡ª I''m that Lear right now. I will not let anyone take advantage of you, my dear. I will take revenge for you.'' Lear sipped tea in the glass garden dome of Elberos Manor with Lucas and Rana to plan what to do next. "I have already sent a letter to my professor. He said to meet him tomorrow. He will stamp the health certificate for you." Lucas spoke up. When Lear heard that made her relieved. If the stamp is done tomorrow, she thinks she will file a letter opposing Draven''s request that day, so as not to waste time. Then just wait for the president of the Central Council to meet with the small jury and refer the matter to the Civil Court judge to judge again. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Even though it sounds a little difficult, Lear was not afraid. If the objection was successful, she will be able to go back and reclaim everything that belongs to her. After that, she would revenge on the protagonists properly and gave them everything they deserve. "I must thank Dr. Lucas very much for doing this. Otherwise, I don''t know what to do either." "It''s okay. I just do what needs to be done. If it can help you, I''ll be happy." Lucas said sincerely. Lear felt touched by his word. Although there may have been a few hurdles in the past, it seems to have gone smoothly. "And after this- What will you do next, Lear? If we do the plan, it will be over?" Rana suddenly spoke up with concern. She was glad that everything had a solution. But she was still worried about Lear if Draven''s request was voided. Thus, Lear had the right to return to the Cabares Manor in good faith. So, Lear might have been attacked by Draven''s men again because the Cabares Manor was now like enemy territory. "I didn''t think it would end here, Auntie. because according to the Draven''s character, He must have other plans to support him¡­" Yes¡ª according to the novels she read. Draven is calm, prudent, and scheming. Everything he will do must be carefully planned and screened. There must be a minimum of vulnerabilities and the least risky. But when it came time for him to take risks, he could take such an unimaginable risk. That was one of the reasons that Lear couldn''t predict his all mind. According to the original plot of the novel, after Draven had finished submitting his request and the president of the Central Civil Court had approved him as all Cabares''s assets manager. Then he filed a complaint with the court about Cabares'' unfair takeover of Ernest''s affair thirteen years ago. And he used this opportunity to transfer all Cabares to Ernest justly. In the end, the Cabares family collapsed, and Draven returned to using the Ernest surname again. It was the resurrection of the Ernest family. It''s bad that the story didn''t detail exactly how Draven does this. In the novel, just saying that he did it and succeeded. After a few months, Lear in the novel mysteriously disappeared and wasn''t mentioned at all. So, Draven used this opportunity to inform the Civil Registration Council that Lear Cabares is a missing person. Then he used the confirmation documents of the Civil Registration Council to submit to the Civil Court for a complete divorce from Lear. And a year later, Draven remarried Phenia, legally registered. After that, both of them were happy together. The Civil Registration Council that appeared in the novel collected the records and lists of populations in each area. Whether it was notified of birth, death, change of name/surname, marriage registration, or registering a divorce. This organization would be responsible for recording these data. Besides, they worked in coordination with the various Central Councils of Arbane. In this fairy tale world, although it looked a bit ancient Lear thought that the various administrative processes were considered a good enough systematic. Although it doesn''t have modern technology like many of the novels that Lear has visited. However, most of what Lear knew right now was only from the novels. But after just a week into the novel, she realized that there were details that were not written in the novel. So she had to learn it gradually to be able to deal with Draven. After completing a discussion, Lucas then asked to leave to prepare documents and information for his professor to stamp Lear''s health certificate. As for Rana, she said that she would try to discuss with her father about the matter at the Central Council and take this opportunity to visit her father too. As for Lear, she went to the mansion''s library to learn as much as possible about this world. Because she entered the role of Lear Cabares instead, of course, the plot and those endings that were written in the novel would also change. So, always learning new things is another important weapon. The more you know, the more you have the right to be a winner. To be continued... Chapter 8: Obstacles (2) The next day¡ª Lear and Lucas took a horse-drawn carriage to the Arbane Medical Association, a meeting place for doctors across the United Kingdom. The topic of this meeting was guidelines for preventing serious epidemics. This meeting would be a seminar to discuss and present research that had been researched by various medical institutions. Therefore, this meeting was important a meeting that can change the world. Today would be the last meeting. Today''s schedule in the morning will be a presentation of research that Lucas''s professor has conducted with a team of practicing physicians, of which Lucas was one of them. In fact, Lucas had to attend the event as well, but the professor told him to stay at the hospital to serve the patients who came to receive treatment. But now he left another doctor who was his friend to take care of him instead because he had an urgent need to come to Zeros city. The hospital where Lucas worked was a small hospital owned by his professor. Hospitals here are not like other hospitals because here they charge very cheap medical fees or free if the patients who come in for treatment don''t have the money to pay. The professor often told him that it was the doctor''s duty to treat the patient, anything other than this, he doesn''t care. The first time Lucas heard this, he disagreed with the professor''s ideas. But when he became an intern at this hospital, he also understood why the professor had thought that way. Because he saw smiles and got thanking words from the patients who came to use the service. Since then, Lucas believed, loved, and respected his professor very much. ¡°Miss Lear don''t worry. The professor was a kind person. He must be willing to help us.¡± Lucas spoke up when he saw Lear''s nervous expression, which is what he saw she was nervous reality. Although she had encountered this situation many times in many novels, it seemed that this time was more special. Because it felt the influence of old Lear''s emotions was more than usual, which she did not know why. ¡®Why do I feel this uncomfortable?¡¯ Lear thought with a serious expression on her face. But when she looked up to see Lucas''s worried expression while he stared at her, she immediately smiled at him because she didn''t want him too worried. However, the strange nervousness and premonition still did not go away. ---------- As soon as Lear felt that the carriage had completely stopped, she immediately knew that she had arrived at her destination. She hurriedly took a deep breath and adjusted her mood to normal. When she feel better, she turned and nodded to Lucas with a smile. It was a sign that she was ready. Lucas was the first to get off the carriage to wait for Lear to get off the carriage safely. And as soon as Lear''s feet touched the ground, she looked up at the large domed building in front of her with an excited expression. Stolen novel; please report. ''This is the Arbane Medical Union Assembly Hall? Why does it look so luxurious?¡¯ Lear thought in her mind then she followed Lucas into the building in front of him with excitement and nervousness. Lucas led her through the central hallway of the confederation, then led her in the complex ways. Moreover, inside this building, there are many rooms. Plus, there are so many paths that it makes her feel dizzy. If she hadn''t been with Lucas, she thought she would have been lost definitely. After following Lucas for quite some distance. She saw him stopping in front of a room at the end of the corridor. The sign in front of the room wrote the name, Professor Raquel Spencer. ''Hmm¡ª this is Lucas''s professor''s name, isn''t it? Lucas turned to Lear for a moment before turning around and knocking on the door three times softly, then spoke up. "Professor! I''m Luke, may I come in please?" After that Lear heard a thumping sound coming from within. Before a man''s hoarse voice sounded later. ¡°Come in.¡± Lucas opened the door and stepped in with Lear. The sight behind the door shocked Lear very much when she saw the room was very messy. There was almost no way to walk on the floor because there were many piles of papers lining the room. Besides, many books seem difficult to read that were stuffed in full arrangement on the large bookshelves that were placed against the walls of the room on three sides. In the middle of the room, it had a large work desk that was as cluttered as other places. So much that Lear could hardly see anyone sitting there because there was a large pile of documents stacked on the table. If she hadn''t seen the moving human head emerge from the pile of papers, she probably thought that there was no one in this room. "Professor¡ª If you''re free, please clean the room." As soon as Lucas stepped into the room, he bent down to collect the falling papers scattered on the floor, neatly arranging them, and said with a weary expression. Lear agrees with what Lucas said too. ¡°Come on¡ª Luke, you haven¡¯t heard that a messy room always makes you creative.¡± Raquel''s voice emanated from behind the stack of papers at his desk. It''s a sign that there''s someone in the back. ¡°Wait a minute for me. I''m going to finish up the morning seminar summary report. Let''s find a place to rest first.¡± ''So where are we going to sit? Lear thought while looking around the room to find the place where she could lower her butt and relax as the owner of the room said. She sighed for a moment before feeling a strong nudge from behind. Then she found that Lucas had already prepared a chair for her to sit in one of the least cluttered corners of the room. ¡°What about you?¡± She whispered to him when she saw that there was only one chair. ¡°It''s okay¡ª I can stand.¡± He replied with a smile at her. Lear did not want to ruin his kindness so she sat down and scanned the room again to kill time. As for Lucas, he arranged for Lear''s health certificate to be stamped. ¡°Alright¡ª it''s done. By the way, is it that you came to me because of the story that you wrote in the letter?¡± Raquel spoke and rose to reveal the small figure of an old man with white hair and a long mustache, an unkempt beard like a wizard in a fantasy novel that Lear had read. However, his kind eyes made him far from being a wizard. But as soon as the old man saw Lear''s face, he immediately halted. His eyes widened in shock before speaking a sentence in a heavy tone. ¡°Sorry, Luke¡ª I can''t help you.¡± To be continued... Chapter 9: The Parties ¡°Why, professor?!¡± Lucas said with a shocked voice. He was a little disappointed that everything was much different from what he expected. But seeing Raquel''s expression, he immediately calmed down before asking the old man in a weak voice. ¡°Doctor, can you explain to me why you can''t help me?¡± Raquel turned to Lear for a moment, then sighed and walked over to the sofa filled with piles of papers. He swept away the pile of papers with his hand and sat down with a serious expression on his face. ¡°Because I have already stamped this young lady¡¯s health certificate.¡± As soon as Lucas and Lear heard this, they were shocked by what they heard, especially Lear. ¡°Excuse me, professor¡ª you said you had already stamped my health certificate. What do you mean?" Lear asked Raquel in a nervous tone staring at him with very curious eyes. Raquel was also staring at Lear too. He underestimated her for a moment before speaking up. "Looks like you don''t remember me, right?" "Yes?" ¡°Two weeks ago, I was invited by Draven to help assess your physical and mental health and issue a stamped health certificate. Then examined your body and mind and found that you were sick and had a mental state of insanity. So, I have already stamped on your health certificate¡­¡± Lear was shocked at what she had just known. She had no idea that Dr. Raquel was the one who issued the document himself. She indeed was a lunatic, but now she''s not. ¡°Then why can''t you stamp my health certificate again? You can see that I''m not crazy now¡­¡± At this moment, Lear felt that her emotional regulating glands were starting to function abnormally because of her equanimity that was before it began to disappear. ¡°Because in the health certificate documents that are submitted to the court process, the same doctor cannot certify the document to prevent unfair judgments.¡± Lucas repaid his doctor''s teacher with a serious expression on his face. If so, the only way to solve this problem would be to find another Master Doctor to stamp it instead, but... ¡°So the only way to counter Draven''s request right now is to get another professor doctor to stamp it instead?¡± Lear muttered with a thoughtful expression. She had never imagined that every step of hers would have obstacles waiting in every patch of grass. But no matter what, she only had to overcome it. ¡°It can''t!!!¡± Lucas suddenly objected to what Lear thought. This caused Lear to be shocked at Lucas''s expression. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°If you do that the professor will¡­¡± He just stopped there. Then he made a pained expression before turning his gaze away. This caused Lear to be puzzled. After that, he turned his gaze to Raquel instead. Raquel knew what his disciple was thinking. He walked over to Lucas, patting him on the shoulder lightly, and said in a gentle tone. "It''s okay Luke- If it has to be like that, then let it be.¡± Then he turned toward Lear with gentle eyes before speaking to her. ¡°You don''t have to worry. Even if I can''t seal it for you but I''ll recommend another professor doctor to stamp it for you instead. Don''t worry¡­¡± Finished speaking, he calmly walked over to take Lear''s health certificate that Lucas had prepared on the table. ¡°Professor!!¡± Lucas tried to stop Raquel with a pale face. But it couldn''t because Raquel had already kept that document. Lucas''s expression made Lear very curious, it had doubted her. ¡®Why is Dr. Lucas acting like that?¡¯ While Lear thought that to ask a question to clear her doubt. Suddenly there was a soft knock on the door and a young man''s voice sounded through the door. ¡°Sorry, Professor. The afternoon seminar is about to begin.¡± ¡°Um¡ª I will follow.¡± "Yes sir" At the end of the word, Lear heard footsteps walking away. When she turned toward Raquel and Lucas, she saw Raquel preparing some papers in an old leather bag, which she guessed he was leaving for the seminar. So, she thought it might be time for her to leave. This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. ¡°Don''t worry about your document. I''ll arrange it within today. Maybe after the seminar ends in about three hours. Can you wait?¡± "It''s okay, I can wait. I''ve already disturbed the professor a lot." "It''s okay, it''s my responsibility." Raquel said that and he immediately left the room. Left Lear and Lucas just the two of them in a messy office. When she turned to Lucas, she still saw that he had a worried expression on his face, so she spoke. ¡°Dr. Lucas. I think we should leave first." Lucas was drowning in his thoughts. When hearing Lear''s voice, he was slightly startled before smiling at her. ¡°Yes, then let''s go. I know many cafes around here.¡± He spoke, but his eyes were still worried. Lear was noticeable but she pretended not to see before following him out. ''Let''s ask him later.'' ---------- Lear and Lucas decide to walk to the caf¨¦ instead of riding in a carriage. Because Lear wanted to explore the commercial district of Zeros, that described in the novel as the busiest. Moreover, it is a popular district and an important economic center of Arbane. Even so, she could feel Lucas''s anxiety well. Although she enjoyed the sights of the streets adorned with interesting shops, she was also worried about Lucas too. However, Lear couldn''t help him because she didn''t know what Lucas was worried about. So she turned her attention to the bustling atmosphere in front of her instead. Luckily Lear was wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a mesh covering her face. This made her could express her facial expression without hiding it. After walking for a while, Lucas brought Lear to a stop at a caf¨¦. She looked up at the caf¨¦''s nameplate that reads the big ''Maron Sweet''. She surveyed the store from the outside, marveling at how big and luxurious it was. ''Hmm¡ª there are so many people, so this restaurant is sure to be delicious.'' Lear thought to herself before following Lucas into the store. Before entering the cafe, Lear was bumped by someone until she staggered backward. Lucky to have Lucas around her, otherwise she had fallen. ¡°Ah- I''m sorry, Miss. I didn''t even look." The tone of the opponent''s voice made Lear speculate that he was a young man. "Never mind because it was my fault for not looking the way.¡± When Lear raised her head to look at the other side. Her eyes widened in shock at his handsomeness. Light bronze hair and brilliant emerald eyes made his personality look warm and masculine like a second male lead in the novel. ''Wait!! a second male lead!'' Suddenly, Lear seemed to remember something. And when she carefully observed and scrutinized the man in front of her, her brain felt as though it had discovered something. ''He is...!! Esh Boris, a second male lead in the novel!!'' As soon as she found out who the man in front of her was. There were so many different feelings that had no source flowing in her heart that she could barely breathe. She didn''t know if these feelings were hers or that of the old Lear, but she did know that Esh Boris was the one involved in the pathetic end of Lear Cabares, the villainess of the novel. Based on the storyline of the novel read by Lear, Esh Boris closed with Phenia, who helped Phenia with everything because he had been secretly in love with Phenia for a long time. But knowing that Phenia was in love with Draven, he sacrificed himself and backed away and keep Phenia from a distance. When Phenia was sad or suffering something, she always came to Esh to unburden and talk. In fiction, Phenia often outlined the relationship between her and Esh as a sibling because Esh was three years older than Phenia. Esh often visited Phenia at the Cabares manor, under the pretext of being Phenia''s brother. Draven didn''t even suspect that this Esh was secretly in love with his lover, Phenia. And it was Esh that was the key to Lear''s life that led to the exile from the manor and going insane. Lear breathed more and more forcefully as she tried to pull the netting cloth over her face so that Esh could not see her face. Lucas noticed her unusual posture. ¡°Miss. Lee¡­¡± Before Lucas could say her name. Lucas seemed to sense her trembling hands that holding his arm tightly, so he tightened his embrace and turned to Esh instead. ¡°I''m sorry, but my lover was just a little shocked. You don''t have to worry. I''ll take care of her myself." Lear''s face flushed red when she heard Lucas'' word. But she couldn''t do anything until she had to pretend to be his lover like he said before that. "But you''re definitely okay, right? I''m really sorry.¡± It seems that Esh was still worried. According to the story of the author, his character is gentle, kind, and compassionate...but those for Phenia, not Lear. Thinking of this, Lear could only clench her fists. Why did the villainess have to go through such cruel things? And why does the heroine have only lovers? Can''t a villainess like you have someone who loves you? "Never mind I''ll take care of myself. We''ll leave first." Lucas cut the lines in a polite tone before walking towards the store hand in hand with Lear. Without turning his attention to Esh, who was stared following them with a worried look in his eyes. Seeing that the other party seemed normal and didn''t want his responsibility. Esh walked away, disappearing into the crowd. When could through the awkward situation, Lear let out a sigh of relief. ¡°Sigh- Damn it, the world is round.¡± ¡°Miss Liar¡ª What''s the matter? Your expression doesn''t look good at all.¡± Lucas said in a worried tone. He took Lear and sat at a table in the caf¨¦, choosing a table on the second floor at the end, next to the balcony that looked the most private. ¡°I''m fine. Thank you very much, Dr. Lucas.¡± ¡°But is that young man your acquaintance or not?¡± Hearing that question from Lucas, Lear paused before answering in a low voice. ¡°A- a little bit¡­.um- Should we order food better? I''m always hungry.¡± Lear immediately changed the subject because she wasn''t ready to be questioned much. And Lucas seemed to have a talent for reading her mind because he just nodded and did as she was told without asking her a word. When ordering food and drinks Lear turned to look at the scenery below with a relaxed expression. The aroma of sweets and tea pervades the shop causing all the emotions that had happened before that to gradually alleviate. But even then, she still had some things that fascinate her, and she have to find the answers to them. Lear turned to Lucas who was sitting across from her with serious eyes before asking him in an equally serious tone. ¡°But Dr. Lucas- Can I ask you one thing?" Lucas looked at Lear with a surprised expression. "Hum?" ¡°Why at that time did you forbid me to give my health certificate to another professor Doctor to stamp instead of Professor Raquel?¡± Upon hearing Lear''s question, Lucas''s expression immediately changed. His eyes rippled with concern until Lear could read the feelings. She didn''t know why he made that face. But she would soon hear that answer from his mouth. To be continued...
