Flashbacks
Slowly Zergan taught everything he knew about smartphones until Vel really understood.How to use them and what he could get from them.
Vel was amazed by Zergan's smartphone.He was very interested in learning more things he did not know.
Zergan looked like an older brother, and Vel was like a younger brother.Nobody expected them to be that close in such a short time.
Lily who saw them playing together like a sister brother was also happy.He chuckled at the second level of the adults.
'Basic, there are these people.'

Episode 82
"Rina, how's the Duchess?"
"Mother is fine.It has been a long time since she recovered and now enjoys living in the villa that miss gave!"
"Thank God, would you like to see him?"
Lina flinched with a radiant face.She looked happy but also not.
"I'd really like to see him but.." Lina stopped continuing her words.
"But?"
"Mother will definitely ask me to participate in the upper class association, even though I am only a 'servant' miss." he continued.
Lily fell silent and looked at Rina for quite a while.
"Lady Viona."
"?!"
"Remember your true identity.I allow you to remain my servant because of your choice.But do not forget that you are the daughter of Duke Ricardo.The blood of pure nobility still flows in your body.And also, the,you are perfectly allowed to set foot in the upper class association.I will help you." explains Lily firmly.
"Wait ladies!Don't say anything formal to me." said Rina nervously.
"Right now I'm talking to you as Lady Viona, not as Lina." Lily replied.
Rina was silent.He couldn't dodge Lily anymore.
"Lady, I've been thinking about this for a long time but, I want to give you freedom as well.I can't let you continue serving me for the rest of your life.At least you need to find a partner." Lily said with a sigh.
"But I've been"
poke!poke!poke!
"Mrs, I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation."
"What's wrong?Come inside."
Jeremy went into Lily's room, he gave a letter with a green stamp bearing a horse's emblem.
"Not usually.Is there a message?" ask Lily.
"The preacher said that this letter must be fulfilled.Only that's the mistress." Jeremy replied.
"Alright, thanks Jeremy.You can get out."
Jeremy bends his regards then comes out of Lily's room.Rina has an uneasy premonition about the letter from the Duke.
Lily opened the letter and read the contents.
...The Marchioness Gradina....
...I as Duke Clarx Rodean Ricardo, the head of the Ricardo family officially invite you to the welcoming event of my first son, Rodean Ricardo,Zarex.It's a party that will be held for the sake of his happiness on the road after graduating high academy abroad on the generosity of His Majesty the Emperor.I hope you can take my daughter also to a party of 4 more days in my mansion.Hopefully God bless you....
......From, the head of the Ricardo Family.......
Lily immediately squeezed the letter and tore it into a very small.Rina who saw Lily so shocked and gaped.
"N-miss!Why are you tearing it up?!" ask Rina to panic.
"Now he considers you his daughter?..He thought all this time what did he do to you huh?!Can't be allowed!" lily replied very upset.
"What is the letter, miss?" ask Rina curiously.
"4 more days her first son will be out of the high academy in just 5 years.And I have to bring you Rina.Ah no, I mean Lady Viona." replied Lily.
"W-what?!Brother Zarex?!W-how can it?!" ask Rina to panic.
"How old is he this year??" ask Lily.
"Emm, is he 5 years older than me. about 28 years?" rina replied unsure.
"That means she's the same age as a sister huh. alright."
High Academy was the advanced level of the academy in the Empire.Only a few people could enter that advanced academy.Usually the person who could enter the Higher Academy was the one who wanted to develop mana within his body.Everyone has mana in his body, depending on whether he can use it or not.And within the empire, less than 10% people who can do it.Then from that the High Academy is made only for people who are very engaged in the field of magic.It can be said that the High Academy is the same as the Magic Talent School.
"Lady Viona, you have to be at the party with me" Lily said.
"Yes?S-me?!"
It didn't take long, though,Lily immediately called the famous designers including Madam Sena for the event this time.He also called dozens of jewelery sellers whose price is not kidding.Not to forget he also bought new makeup to be tailored to Rina,more precisely Viona now.
"Anu, madam..what the fuck is this commotion?.." asked Jeremy.
"Whatchu mean?Of course for Rina, it was not more precisely Lady Viona, daughter of Duke Ricardo." replied Lily.
"W-WHAT'S THE HELL?!!"
"Why are you so surprised?Shut the fuck up and get this over with.Don't forget to ask for the bill.I'll call Ian first!~" said Lily gleefully and then went to her study.
"Wait around! Madam!!" Jeremy was really shocked now.The reality that Lily had been hiding from her workers he told directly to Jeremy who was the Chief Maid.
/In Lily's room.
"Why?You look very happy but also angry...Did something happen?"
"I got an invitation from Duke."
deghs.
Ian flinched at Lily's words.He seemed to take his eyes off Lily.
"Ekhem.What did he say?" ask Ian.
"She invited me and Ri-ah no, Lady Viona for her first son's welcoming party.She just graduated from the High Academy." replied Lily.
"Why Viona too?All this time he did not care at all even until he ran away from home.Now he called Lady back." said Ian astonished.
"Maybe it's the right time to make a relationship with another family.Summer Lady Viona has been 23 years.Duke certainly take advantage of it." reply Lily upset.
"By the way, what happened during Duke Ricardo's visit at that time?" lily asked.
"Nothing, but.." Ian stopped talking.Appeared from the look on his face, he was thinking about something serious.
"But?"
"Duke often asked about Yesra and Yusto.But mostly about Yesra.He said under the pretext of worrying about the state of the two of them." continued Ian.
"He said Yesra and Yusto should come along for the show.But it seems Yusto can't come along because he has to review the territory, so it's just me and Yesra" Ian replied.
"Yesra already knew that?" ask Lily again.
"He knows, it's just that he doesn't seem to like it." Ian replied.
"If he doesn't want to come along, it doesn't need to be forced.It looks like he already knows what the Duke is planning." Lily said.
"She's still coming because you're there.She also believes in me.No need to worry." Ian replied.
"Alright.We meet 4 days more.My work is still piling up because of the brothers." said Lily began to close the topic.
"Lily, can I pick you up later?" ask Ian.
Lily nodded, then she smiled.
"Of course I'll wait!" answer Lily
Ian seemed to smile thinly and thankfully.Then the two of them closed the communication.
"Look at Duke!I'll make your daughter by my side the main star of your son's show!AHAHAA!" lily said so cunningly with her evil laughter.
Vel and Kel who accidentally heard Lily's laughter from outside were creeped out in fear.
"Today it's pretty cold huh." said Vel.
"Looks like..I need a glass of cocoa." reply Kel.
"Let's ask Trisela to make it.." ask Vel.
"Don't you want to live long?" tanya Kel flat.
"Ah.really too." Vel replied smiling flatly.
/While it is in the pavilion of the Empress Palace.
"My son, you look tired, what's the matter??" the Queen asked Arina.
"Sorry Your Majesty. It seems like lately I've been thinking too much." replied Arina limp.
"Don't be so stiff, I am your mother too" said the Empress with a faint smile.
"True Lady.I am also the mother of the Crown Prince who is the older brother of the Prince.That means I am also your mother." said Her Majesty The Queen who was also there.
Arina looked at the two of them for quite a while.Either why she felt so bad.The Empress and Queen welcomed her so gently and warmly, when she had previously intervened in their plight.
"Yes.mom.." said Arina as she shed tears.
"Geez, boy!Why are you crying?!" ask the Queen worriedly.
"Is something wrong? Tell us." said the Empress, wiping Arina's tears.
Prince Arhen and the Crown Prince had just arrived at the pavilion.They had already seen Arina crying quite profusely.Prince Arhen was startled and immediately approached the three women.
"Mother, what's wrong with Arina?" prince Arhen asked worriedly enough.
"She suddenly cried.Perhaps a congenital baby.But we also do not know." replied the Empress.
Prince Arhen tried to calm down Arina who was still crying and persuaded her to tell a story.But, Arina just shook her head, she was unwilling to say anything.
"Crown Prince, you are here too.Tumben once you come together." said the Empress.
"Yes, Your Highness.It just so happened that I was about to meet my mother, and accidentally crossed paths with Arhen who was about to return to the pavilion, so we were together here." explained the Crown Prince.
"Why are you looking for mom?" ask Her Majesty the Queen.
The Crown Prince approached and whispered something to the Queen.The Queen's countenance looked startled.
"You're going?" ask Her Majesty the Queen to the Crown Prince.
"To be honest I don't want to leave because of palace duty.But, I have a bad feeling if I don't leave." replied the Crown Prince.
Her Majesty the Queen fell silent.The Crown Prince took quite a while thinking about something about 'someone'.
"Go away.Mother is afraid something will happen if you do not go" said Her Majesty The Queen looked calm and even smiled.
The Crown Prince was wondering why his mother was so calm.
"Why??" tanyakanya.
"You'll know when you go later.'Your cousin must be there." replied the Queen.
The Crown Prince just tilted his head and nodded.He retreated from after.
"Prince, what are you, ever loved someone other than the Empress?" ask Her Majesty the Queen.
Prince Arhen, Arina and the Empress were jolted.Of course it actually seemed impossible for a 'Prince Arhen'.
He looked at the silent Arina while looking down.Hiding her face among her unraveled black hair.
"I never." replied Prince Arhen a little hesitated.
"Even now?" continued Queen.
"What do you mean?." asked Prince Arhen puzzled.
"Your baby, won't you love her later?"
"Well.."
Prince Arhen drifted inside his mind.A child that he did not really want will be born into a world so cruel.An innocent child.He does not even know whether he will love his child or not.When eventually he will not meet your child after birth.
The prince sat down beside Arina and held the girl gently.His hand rubbed Arina's head and rubbed the stomach softly that contained the blood of her flesh.
"This child is innocent.. If I hadn't seen him grow, at least I would have loved him all my life" Prince Arhen sedu said.
"Why?" asked Her Majesty the Queen smiled faintly.
"Color.me.." The prince did not continue his words.
Her Majesty the Queen smiled even more.The confused Empress could only look at Prince Arhen who was still tightly clutched Arina.
"Lady, breathe the air outside.Daun is falling.Prince accompany Lady yes" said the Queen.
"Good..Come on Arina."
Prince Arhen and Arina came out of the room and took a walk in the garden, Her Majesty the Queen and the Empress saw them from the window of the room.
"You know your Queen, your son, is a gentle man to the woman he loves." said the Queen seemed satisfied.
The Empress understood what the Queen said.Prince Arhen's voice when mentioning Arina's name earlier, the movement of the hand when rubbing, and the look of his eyes on Arina.
"Love knows no time and no relationship, Your Majesty the Queen" the Empress chuckled.
"I feel so old, ahahaha." The Queen replied with a laugh.
"We're old, soon enough it's just history."
"You're right.Time goes so fast ya."
Seriate...
