Reincarnated In A Shitty Love Game

126 Chapter 126 – Releasing demand

In just about ten minutes the Duke got a letter from the royal prince himself demanding that he release Clarina. it was something he had expected long back.

But looking at the obvious threat in the letter he was quite speechless. ‘what gave this young prince the guts to stand up against the Lineti family and the Rofels family? Is he that stupid in love?’

He was thoroughly disappointed by this result

This kingdom only had two princes. they were born from the same mother but after the birth of young prince Killian the empress sadly passed away leaving behind the three men to mourn her absence.

The elder prince Garius and the younger prince Killian.

in the past, the elder prince had a force of his own and people who support him through his endeavors. but after a small rumor, he lost all his footing in the castle.

it was a simple and groundless ruined but it ruined the elder prince’s life.

the rumor questioned the legitimacy of his birth.

As for why that was? It was because prince Garius did not share the same sparkling blond hair as the emperor. Instead, he had jet black hair that he inherited from his mother’s side.

.....

Even though it was so, the vassal kings and other ministers refused to accept this prince as the crown prince. His title was stripped off and the second prince Killian came into power.

‘For such a stupid reason, a wise prince was pushed away and a pig-headed prince was placed in his seat. If this went on then our kingdom might as well rot from the inside.’ Duke crunched up the letter and glanced at the prince’s guard who was looking at him haughtily/

“Go tell your prince that the prisoner had committed a federal offense by targeting my wife’s life. Only with appropriate compensation will she be released.’

To be honest he was not willing to let go of Clarina but fighting the crown Prince right now was a stupid decision.

Instead, he wanted to test the young prince. If he acted even a bit saner, he would be willing to support his crown but if he failed him in this task the duchy of Lineti and everyone under him will have to change ships and support the elder prince.

The prince’s guard gritted his teeth. “Your highness, do you realize what you are asking for?”

“I realize what I’m asking for? Now go tell your prince to bring a proper compensation or his beloved will rot in prison,” he coldly glanced at him and continued to do his work.

The guard who stood there awkwardly for a while bit getting no reaction from the Duke he decided to retreat. he bowed and left the study.

Duke Parlov glanced at the wide-open door with a slight smile. “You can come in.”

Feng popped her head out from behind the door with a small sheepish smile. “When did you figure out I as here, uncle?”

“the moment you tried to tiptoe close. It’s not that hard to figure out where the others are in this household,” he said with a small smirk. “come in. sit,”

Feng walked in and sat on the sofa. It was quite high for her so her legs were hanging down. with an unknown look on her face, she looked at her shoes. “Uncle are you really going to release her? She tried to hurt us,”

“even if we keep her here, the prince will try his best to break her out. it will only cause a lot of damage to our property and our personnel. Instead, why don’t we get a better deal out of this and appear to be a kind and virtuous family to the public,”

What he said made sense. Feng thought about it a bit with a pout. But even so, the thought of letting go of Clarina did not sit well.

She had already captured her main target, the crown prince Killian. Which is a very bad thing for them. Even though her uncle was a Duke he was still one step under the emperor himself.

If the crown prince will inherit his father soon then they would have to be in servitude, under the emperor. And with Clarina by Killian’s side, it would only mean the death of her family.

She clenched her hands into a tight fist.

‘I can’t allow that to happen. Never!’

“Child, don’t think too much. Everything will happen in due time. And chins up. you are the young lady of the Rofles family and we are in the duchy of the Lineti family. With such a strong family you don’t need to worry about a trivial prince or a maid girl,”

Feng let out a small chuckle when she heard him call Clarina a maid girl. It was quite hilarious. ‘yeah, how could I forget Clarina’s started as a maid. Ad with the other; man characters’ support she became a dazzling and beautiful high society lady. but now all her resources were stumped.

Only the prince is by her side.

‘What about Yubiri?’

Feng did not want anything to do with him. but that didn’t mean she wanted him to be her family’s energy.

‘let’s not think to much. Uncle knows what he is doing. I trust his decision. After all he was a OP character of the game.’ She smiled at him and nodded. “I trust you completely.”

“Then go to the healer you need to get that shoulder checked,” he ushered her away.

Feng jumped off the sofa and ran out. “oh and uncle. You were so cool just now.”

She ran out with slight blush on her face.

Duke Parlov Lineti who was known as the living ice berg smiled so dazzlingly. Even a small laugh escaped his lips. “I’ve never heard anyone use the word cool in such a situation. She really is adorable.”

Feng dashed to the healer’s room. The Duke’s mansion had its own healer, but he had been traveling of late. So, she had not had the chance to meet him.

When she threw open the poultice room, she came face to face with a tall white haired young man. He cast a small smile at her. “Hello, you must be lady Feng. Please come in. the Duke had mentioned that you were hurt. Let me heal you,”

Feng froze at the doorway, not taking a step in.

Because the person inside was none other than Yubiri himself in one of his disguises. The young mage was said to be the best young magician in their whole world. because of his unique status and age he had been chased around by women and men alike.

The man wanting peace started to dress up in various disguises.

Even when they first met he had disguised as a young lad of a prominent family named yu. But lady Hiliana looked right through his disguise.

Now he was disguised as the healer. He must have somehow gotten through the mansion’s security and made it here.

‘he really likes acting like strangers......... I just have to be cordial with him. one less enemy is one less trouble for me,

Feng cast a bright smile at him. “Yes, its the first time we’ve met, sir. I’m lady Feng Mei Rofles. It’s really nice to meet you,”

“I’m called healer Trius. Nice to meet you.” he gestured for her to sit on a small wooden stool.

Feng rushed to the seat and climbed up with difficulty.

Yubiri did not do anything absurd like try to help her instead, he just watched her with a loving gaze.

Feng shivered slightly. ‘ughhh its making me cringe so much, maybe I shouldn’t play along with this farse.’

Yubiri gently massaged her shoulders and in a second a small snap was heard.

Feng felt the pain that had been plaguing her leave her small body. Only numbness remained in that spot.

She rolled her shoulders with a look of astonishment. ‘great mage for sure! He would rally make a great cyropractor.’ She thanked him softly and jumped off the seat.

“Wait a minute lady,” Yubiri held out a small glass jar filled with colorful candy. “share these with your friends. It’s a famous candy in Dornem,”

Feng smiled sweetly. but inside she was rolling her eyes. ‘this man really knows who to lie so thoroughly.’

With the jar of candy in hand, she rushed out of the healer’s room to Elle’s room. She knocked loudly.

Elle opened the door with a dazzling smirk. “Meimei. Come in.”

“you seem awfully cheerful. What is the special occasion?” Feng gave held the jar of candy.

Elle secretly smiled. “Something special.” She plopped on the bed and gestured for her to jump on.

Feng laid down beside her.

Elle simply giggled, hugging her pillow. “I had the most beautiful vision today.... Meimei.. I’m going to be one happy lady in the future.”

Feng slightly smacked her forehead. “you just collapsed of overuse. Now you are using your powers again? are you crazy?”

“but you have to know. I was so excited when I felt him close. My heart is beating so fast....”

Feng sat up immediately. “he who?”

Elle’s smile froze. “n-nothing,”

“I just heard a ‘he’ in your sentence. Elle dear spit it out. are you going through a childish crush?”

Elle shot up. “its not a childish crush. I’m going to end up marrying him and we will have a happy life together. I’ve seen it!.... Meimei.... We are meant to be,”
