Seizel finally decided to approach Duke Laviers in the previous chapter. Readers are excited to find out if her plan would work in A Con Artist But that’s okay, Chapter 22.
The noble ladies were gossiping about the rumors related to the duke Laviers. None of them wanted to believe it and considered that it was groundless.
Most noble ladies could not withstand the energy of protection that ran in the Laviers family. Another rumor was also going around the town that even if they did not meet or touch Duke Laviers in person.
They could get cursed just by having disrespectful or indecent thoughts. Everyone thought that it was absurd, and the ladies thought that they were not worthy of Duke Laviers.
They believed that a duchess should be someone who was born elegant. Someone who was more like Princess Yvonne or Lady Yuria.
The ladies sipped their tea but had to spit it out immediately because it tasted like blood and started screaming. It turned out Seizel had mixed a dark red pigment in their teas, which was formed by the mixture of cookie crumbs and flannel tea in their mouth.
It was going to get oxidized and disappear completely by the time the guards were going to arrive there. Seizel was not sure when it was not even hurting them or why they were making such a fuss about it.
Seizel’s friend told her it did not matter because it was nice, as the rumors about the curse of improper desire were going to spread even more.
Yuria was having a meeting with the Duke, and the Duke thought Yuria did not like the tea. Because she was not drinking it, however, Yuria explained that she was enjoying the fragrance so much that she forgot to drink it.
Recap
The duke was relieved to hear that. Yuria told him she was enjoying the tea more because she was in her company. Yuria felt nice because the atmosphere was not bad at all.
She was glad because Yuria had gone through a lot to be there. She had to turn the house upside down and she even had to beg her aunt, Marchioness Lavente, to arrange the meeting with the duke.
Yuria’s aunt had told her the world would belong to her if she became Duchess Laviers. She had also explained to Yuria that if their two families became allied in marriage.
They would not just become more affluent but the empire would also become theirs. But since House Mimesia was also a prestigious family, money and power were not that important to them.
There was only one thing that mattered to Yuria, that she was going to become the most powerful lady in high society if she became Duchess Leviers.
She did not have to bow down in front of those arrogant princesses. She considered that Duke Laviers was very handsome so he was fitting to become her husband.
Since Yuria was smiling constantly, Duke Laviers asked her what the reason behind her smile. Yuria told him she was thinking about an interesting rumor that had been going around in high society.
After drinking the tea, Yuria realized that the rumors were not true since she did not vomit blood, fell to the floor or rolled around due to a stomachache. Yuria thought that she did not have to be nervous around Duke Laviers anymore.
