Reborn As A Duke's Daughter
Shadow Lord

Arriving at the Darold residence. The house looks busy. Many servants passed by carrying party supplies. When Audrey asked one of the maids, the maid replied that two more days would be Cassandra's engagement to Marquess Morkaphy's son. After that Audrey went back to her room.

" What else does the woman plan to do? "

Audrey stepped towards the library at Darold's residence. Susana in the library looked lonely, there was no one there. Audrey started looking for a book about Marquess Morkaphy. And not long after, he found it. Audrey started reading it carefully, after almost an hour she finished reading.

" A... So it's like that? I'm beginning to understand what you're planning Cassandra "Audrey to stand up and step into her room.

When he reached his room, his shadow warrior was before him. With a pile of paper. After Audrey received it, the shadow warrior disappeared.

Audrey read the newspaper. Starting from the news about Cassandra's engagement with Marquess Morkaphy's son. Until news of the mysterious disappearance of villagers.

Finished with that, Audrey sat by the window of her room facing towards the balcony.

" So, it is likely that Cassandra's plan was to bring herself closer to the Imperial family, through her engagement to Marquess Morkaphy's son "

" It was quite natural that he thought he could be close to the Imperial family through this engagement. From the book I read earlier, the Marquess Morkaphy family has existed since the first Emperor's leadership, and the first Emperor was known to be close to the ancestors of the Marquess Morkaphy family "

Before long, Audrey resurfaces her shadow warrior. " Supervise Marquess Morkaphy's family and tell them if there's anything suspicious "

Then the shadow soldier disappeared.

" I'm not going to let that woman get what she wants. I'll foil her. Although I'm not sure if Cassandra's just going to plan for that, I'm sure she's going to plan for another rotten thing "

' Even though I've implanted shadow warriors into Cassandra. But nothing strange happened. All he did was throw a tea party and come to the party. There's no important information I've got regarding his plans '

Cassandra's engagement day

Many guests came to this event. However, the peak event occurred at night. That was the night that Cassandra and Marquess Morkaphy's son were officially engaged.

Tired and bored, Audrey chooses to return to her room. However, not long after there was a knock on the door. After being let in, the man entered Audrey's room. It turned out to be Jefford, Audrey's father.

" There's something I want you to talk to about "

" There will be a hunting event next month, you must be the representative of the Darold family "

' Hunting huh? ' after a moment of silence Audrey nodded. Then Clara went into Audrey's room.

" My father is looking for you everywhere "

" What's up? " ask Jefford.

" I've prepared tea for Dad and brother "

Clara gave the tea to Jefford and Audrey. Although, Audrey initially refused, Audrey was curious about what Clara had planned.

After drinking it, Audrey felt nothing different from Jefford who did not suspect Clara. Jefford drank it until it ran out and soon he vomited blood and fainted.

" DAD?! HELP ME?! " clara shouted, but she smiled. After that, several servants and invited guests entered Audrey's room. Audrey was initially surprised by Jefford who suddenly vomited blood. However, he again neutralized his expression and looked sharply at Clara. Clara smiled at Audrey.

" Miss?! What the hell is going on?! " ask the waiter.

" I-I don't know. But, after Dad drank the tea he suddenly vomited blood and then fainted "clara replied with a sobbing cry. The guests who were watching started to whisper.

" Who is this tea from? " ask Audrey's mother. Instead of answering Clara glanced fearfully at Audrey. It was as if Audrey was the cause. After that, more and more whispers were heard. However, Audrey did not feel pressured by that. Because none of this is Audrey's fault. It could be now that he handed over evidence that Clara was the one who did it. However, according to Audrey it would be boring if she did.

After the guest invitation was disbanded. Jefford was examined by a doctor from the Darold family. And the doctor said that there is a toxic content that is quite dangerous in the tea that Jefford drank.

Sorry if there are many typos.
