Chapter 35: Denise (1)
“I knew it would end up like this.”
Denise of the Beltus family silently read the letter sent by her father, her crescent-shaped eyes wide open.
It was something everyone had been expecting ever since the duel between Ellen and Aiselin.
Whether it was the border noble Belmierd or the Grand Duke Duplain, when it came to their own children, they were all too eager to intervene.
If Aiselin and Ellen began a tense competition to recruit a mentor to their side, it would most likely escalate into an inter-family conflict.
“Bella, when did this letter arrive?”
“It came early this morning. It’s been a long time since the head of the family sent a letter directly, so I remember it clearly.”
“Considering how someone who normally doesn’t bother to check on me is suddenly looking for me, it must be something urgent.”
Although the sun was already high in the sky, Denise lay flat on her back in the bed of her inner room. She stretched while letting out a big yawn.
