Chapter 45 - 31: Lich Love Story Season 3
In this world, inheritance issues are always the aristocracy’s top priority; many wars are sparked because of it. Even the thousand-year-old grudge between the Isaac Kingdom and the neighboring Allen Kingdom originated from this.
And once blood is shed, it means the climax is about to come.
After a stormy night, the atmosphere in the entire White City was noticeably tense the next day. Soldiers were formed into patrol teams of five and began to inspect everywhere, and everyone could clearly feel the change. Surprisingly, the tabloids in White City were exceptionally quiet, reporting only trivial matters.
What else could they do?
Inheritance rights are a matter of life and death for lords. Reporting nonsense is fine in peacetime, but now that swords are drawn, doing so would be courting death. It was heard that editors, sensing the change in atmosphere, had been waiting outside the castle gates early to seek an audience with Yilin. They had no other intention but to find out the lord’s stance and what the lord preferred to hear at this time.
Of course, none of this concerned Gray. Or rather, Gray wasn’t concerned about it for the time being, because he had encountered a new trouble—Shelley.
As soon as he opened his door in the morning, he found Shelley dressed prettily standing at his door. She had been following him ever since.
He took a step, and Shelley followed. He ran, and Shelley ran after him.
The worst part was, Shelley was always smiling at him...
Previously, she would cry whenever she saw him.
Crying was actually annoying too, but at least it was simple and understandable. Gray knew clearly that Shelley cried because she was sad. Although Gray couldn’t figure out why exactly she was sad—as if everything could make her sad. But at least he knew she was sad, right?
