Chapter 13

I ran towards the two with a puzzled look on my face.

Why is father here? You've been out since the morning because you had work!

I finished work a little early. When I got home, Lord Kardien was waiting for you. I've been talking to him because he looks bored.

You're not entertaining him, you're torturing him!

My father looked happy because he hasn't gotten a chance to talk for a long time.

But Lucian, who was unilaterally attacked, wouldn't have been happy.

I turned my head in a hurry and looked at Lucian's face.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Clean skin.

Clear eyes.

Pretty smile.

Fortunately, Lucian's face looked fine as if my father's attack didn't go on for long.

I'm glad.

I lowered my relieved eyebrows.

I'm sorry. It took longer to get ready than I thought. If I had known this would happen, I would have been more hasty.

Don't be.

Lucian, who answered softly, stared at me.

His stare was a little embarrassing, so I joked.

I know. I'm really beautiful, aren't I?

Yes.

The answer made my father and I pause for a moment.

Silence flowed through the drawing room.

I coughed with a slightly red face.

Who taught you to answer so boldly?

I didn't learn, I just told the truth. Did I make any mistakes?

His innocent face made me pause once again.

If we continue this conversation further, I will be hit with a bigger attack.

Let's go before it's too late.

Lucian's carriage was waiting in front of the mansion.

I rapped out pure admiration.

This is the carriage that the Emperor offered to Lucian. It's incredible.

The six-wheeled carriage was so huge. A regular carriage was no match for it.

The exterior decorations, which were made of ivory from white elephants, were shiny, and the rigid body had knight Kardien engraved.

Water drops, flowers and swords.

Whoever made it, it was perfect for Lucian.

Lucian reached out his hand while I was looking at the delicately carved patterns.

Let's get in, Lady Pernia.

After holding his hand and getting into the carriage, I was more impressed.

The sleek and glossy leather seats were not like anything I've seen before. Even as the carriage began to move, it was comfortable like I was on the clouds.

It was different from my family's carriage, which looked fine but it was worn out. My ass would burn after it moved just a little.

This is how money tastes like.

My eyebrows have been shaking, feeling the power of money.

Lucian, who sat opposite, asked in a worried voice.

What's wrong, my lady? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?

No way. No one would feel uncomfortable with this carriage. I think I could ride a carriage like this all year round.

Lucian gently bent his eyes at my words.

I'm glad to hear that. We'll be at our destination soon, so make yourself at home, said Lucian, who took out his notes and started to write something down.
