Chapter 234: Tpcp 234
It seemed like Carola was a precious child in the Marquis of Full Moon household. Who would have thought Full Moon would even give away their monopoly and exclusive supply rights for herbal medicine, which is everything to the Marquis?
‘Normally, aristocratic families don’t value or treat their daughters as something special. Marquis Full Moon is an exception. Even though they cherish their children, it doesn’t necessarily mean they raise them properly.’
Following Elisha’s advice, Gaju would begin threatening the Marquess of Full Moon. It was laying down the foundation for favorable negotiations. And if the head of the family wanted, it would be possible for him to take out Full Moon Marquis.
That kind of revenge wasn’t a bad idea. However, it was apparent that if the Head received exclusive rights to the herbs, he would have to send Carola back. Full Moon Marquis also had a lot of power.
‘Carola was half out of her mind but… … . is that real?’
Gaju could definitely turn Carola into an insane woman. But would Carola break down so easily? Elisha knew her from her previous life. She was a tough woman full of perseverance, strong tenacity, and a bizarre madness.
‘Carola, that woman, her spirit is much stronger than that of Marco. She said that if she were to be released from the temple… … . What if she regains her sanity? It will be tiring to keep fighting when she asks for revenge.’
Elisha was deep in thought.
“Sure. Take your time and enjoy yourselves. Husbands and wives should spend time seeing beautiful things. Buy everything you want.”
Even after Gaju left, Elisha was unable to concentrate at all. Auction staff mulled around her, displaying carefully selected jewels in their hands.
“Madam, would you like to see the jewelry now?”
She suddenly came to her senses. Lucerne was scrutinizing her with a bored expression.
“Elisha, when I’m in your body and even when I’m not, I guess you are busy thinking about other people,”
Lucerne remarked languidly. Her cheeks turned red.
“… … Lucerne. People can hear you.”
She shook her head. Secretly, she hoped that the auction staff wouldn’t understand his teasing.
“I was deliberating over the Head’s words.”
Lucerne nodded.
“Don’t worry about it, just look at the jewels.”
Only then did Elisha see the jewelry the employees had chosen. One of them spoke amiably,
“I think this black pearl necklace will look great on your white neck. Would you like to try it?”
“Oh, yes.”
Elisha thought she should at least pretend to choose. But her mind was still full of other thoughts.
‘… … I find myself so absent-minded in front of Lucerne these days.’
He was like gunpowder that could detonate at any moment, and someone held all the rights to her life.
Even now, she had not fully opened herself to Lucerne. But these days, there were times when she relaxed. Elisha wasn’t the only one who changed.
‘This person is cooperative these days.’
Elisha suddenly thought.
‘Now that I think about it, Lucerne seems to be less suspicious of me nowadays.’
When he caught a glimpse of the imperial family’s affairs. Clearly, Lucerne would suspect Elisha of the sudden appearance of the evil god’s holy relic that caused Jewel’s downfall.
But did Lucerne prod her like before?
“Ma’am?”
“Ah. Yes.”
“Could you please lift your hair so that you can try on the necklace?”
Elisha obediently lifted the long blonde hair that hung behind her. It was then.
“Ah!”
In an instant, Elisha’s body moved wildly. When she came to her senses, her body was already on Lucerne’s lap.
“Lucerne, what… … .”
“To keep watch.”
“… … .”
“How dare you provide the back of your neck to another guy in front of me? What about your white neck?”
Lucerne said, wrapping his arms around her waist tightly. As soon as he finished speaking, she bit Elisha’s neck very hard. Her cheeks instantly heated up.
“Huh!”
“It’s red now.”
The auction staff were quick to notice.
“I’m sorry, General.”
“My apologies.”
The employees spoke like a chorus.
‘If you look closely, there are no greater performers than this family either.’
Elisha frowned. When she was in the world of the Cartier family, she sometimes felt that she had indeed arrived in a strange, surreal world. She felt like that now.
“Everyone get out. I want to see the jewels alone with my wife.”
“I’m sorry, the items… … .”
The employees hesitated. The items from the auction house were so valuable that it seemed impossible to leave them behind.
“Are you the one who tried to touch the back of my wife’s neck earlier?”
Hearing those words, the employee got scared. It was the worker who offered Elisha the black pearl necklace.
They looked at each other and carefully left the room. They were afraid they would be beaten by Lucerne.
‘Is this person really angry?’
Lucerne’s mood was also important to her. Even as Elisha tapped his arm, she took notice. He obediently put her down on her sofa.
“I’m sorry. I guess I’m not feeling well today. I’m a little worried about Carola, too.”
Lucerne was looking at her indifferently; he suddenly kissed Elisha.
“Ugh… … .”
She was running out of breath. Elisha responded frantically to him sucking on her saliva like a thirsty man. Eventually, his lips fell.
“… … Lucerne?”
