Chapter 8

"Butler!"

Count Alketta called the butler with a nervous voice.

Soon after, the butler opened the door of the office and greeted in a polite manner.

"You've called?"

"What of the message we sent to Lekach's this time? Is this letter really from the Grand Duke?"

Count Alketta grimaced, brows furrowing.

He needed more money to save his son's face and get him into the academy.

"It turned out that the same correspondence was sent to other estates. The Grand Duke seemed to be away, so the Grand Duchess took charge in his stead."

"The Duchess?"

"Yes. A few years ago, the Grand Duke had married the esteemed daughter of Viscount Sherburne."

"Oh, the sacrificial lamb sent by the Emperor."

"Yes."

"Ha. For a mere sacrifice to do this, she must thought she became something now."

It was a slang used among the nobles for someone who was sent to be the bride of the Grand Duke.

Sacrificial lamb.

In fact, who would want to send their daughter to the cursed Grand Duke.

Therefore, the Emperor personally appointed the bride, but he never sent anyone within his blood for the same reason.

So this time, he chose Ibelin, daughter of Viscount Sherburne.

"She was so quiet that I thought she was dead. There's a lot of stuff going on."

"What do you plan to do?"

"All the other families have received the same correspondence?"

"Yes."

"I need to see them first."

"I will make the preparations."

***********

Meanwhile, Ibelin was in the middle of propagating a new game to everyone in the Lekach Duchy at the time when the nobles gathered to devise a plan.

Following the Moogunghwa flowers have bloomed and freeze tag, this time, it was a game of making soap bubble.

Of course, it's good to run around, but children are also interested in making something and feeling them with their own hands.

"KYAHAHAHAHA!"

Sure enough, Ether seemed more excited than ever.

Of course, there were no dish soap here so the bubbles made are not dense or solid but they still maintained some form.

"Ether, are you having fun?"

"Yes!" and proceeded to blow more bubbles.

Well, when the servants saw it for the first time, they thought it was amazing. They were in a frenzy when they asked her if they could try it at least once.

They were playing outside today and the floor was full of bubbles.

"Look at this. Isn't it suuu~per big?"

Ether said, proudly pointing to the bubbles he had made.

"Wow, that's amazing."

"I'll do it one more time!"

He was holding the container with the bubble solution. His hands were already covered with suds.

The moment he tried to soak up his other hand in the bubble solution, his hand slipped and missed the canister.
