When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Ian and Laritte went through the hall.

A place where she had walked behind Rose.

As if to show the pride of the Imperial Family, the high ceiling was covered in gold, along with murals made by the continent’s best sculptor.

Glancing around, Laritte thought.

‘I think it looks more colorful than last year’s ball.’

The budget was abundant as it absorbed the assets of the royal family and the Duke.

Ian was annoyed.

He wasn’t allowed to accompany her to the banquet hall because he was disguised as a servant.

The two exchanged glances before Laritte whispered to him,

“Looks like we’ll have to get separated here.”
“If possible….I’ll come to visit you in a few days after I’m done with my business.”

He planned to break into the banquet while Laritte planned to return early.

They gave each other a light bow and paced in different directions.

As she was walking, she glanced back. She thought of revealing her identity to him on the day they’d meet again.

But why Laritte?

If she told him the truth, he might never be kind to her again. At the thought, her heart began to feel a little numb. One of the things illegitimate children often do was throw their lingering feelings in one corner. As expected, Laritte soon threw hers too.

Laritte stood in front of the gate leading to the central hall.

The geometric pattern crushed upon her with a commanding figure.

“The Duchess, Laritte Reinhardt is here.”

The door opened with a heavy thud with the loud voice of the servant.

The party had not even begun yet and there had already been a large gathering of nobles.

And their gaze reached Laritte. Several pairs of eyes were appalled.

“……”

The hall was filled with a deep stifling silence.

Usually, someone would have greeted her, but no one approached her.

She was ‘the dirty illegitimate child’ and ‘the wife of a treacherous duke’.

It was actually advantageous for Laritte.
