When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 56

He was worried if the Madam wanted to wield the Order at will.

Worried that she – who had been ignored as the Count’s illegitimate child, might become a Duchess and use her power for things she was not allowed to enjoy in the past.

Concerned that the reputation of Reinhardt, having the strongest Order in the Empire, would cease to exist.

So he led the knights and planned this.

“The sky is getting dark.”

Laritte stated, observing the sky above.

The brilliant sunny sky was gradually turning gray. Minutes passed as dark clouds covered the sun, bringing in a gust of wind. It looked like it would start pouring down.

“Did you know that it’s ominous to rain during the memorial service?”

Mason stared at the clouds.

The memorial service was known to be held 180 days after a person’s death. However, a problem could arise anywhere.

Evidently, the weather on the 180th day was not very outstanding.

They had only received the temple’s note saying it would be an auspicious day to conduct the memorial service. There was no way for them to predict the weather in advance. There was no known scientific basis.

However, if it rained, it was regarded as the fault of the leader of each house in the Iassa Empire.

In other words, if it rained now, it meant that Laritte was evil.

It was just a myth, but people used to believe so.

Laritte became anxious.

“What if the rain doesn’t let the souls depart in peace?”
“…..It would be tragic if that happens.”

Mason thought,

‘If it rains, it’d mean heaven does not recognize Madam worthy.’

And likewise, Mason would not regard her as his owner.

Commotion among the people grew as the sky grew darker.

Ava walked up to Laritte.
