Chapter 36 Significance

It was a lively day in Gransville Manor. Duke Caedmon held a banquet to welcome the hero who broke the conspiracy of the old dynasty's remnants to the manor.

Looking at the new viscount who was surrounded, Harvin was disdainful in his heart. He dared to ask for a title. That was just right. Since the other party had ambitions, it would be easier for him to use him.

Harvin kept calculating in his heart. With a kind smile on his face, he took Selsi to introduce her to the nobles around him, and he must make her familiar in front of everyone.

Selsi was tired in her heart. There were too many considerations in dealing with nobles. She didn't know why Duke Caedmon repeatedly mentioned Arelion. If he really wanted to praise her, was this a bit too much?

As the new viscount, Aurelia was more popular. Although it was the case at the banquet after the coronation a few days ago, it was even more excessive today.

Looking at the people who surrounded her and complimented her, including her relatives, she was a little dazed for a while.

A twisted sense of pleasure rose in her heart. She hated it so much. If she climbed higher, could she punish those who bullied her more severely?

Recalling the past, she hated it more and more. She seemed to be in a trance, and her inner demons were growing.

When she was about to lose her composure, she heard Harvin's exaggerated praise.

Aurelia always paid attention to the situation on Selsey's side. She knew this man too well. This man was extremely arrogant and profit-seeking. How could he treat a humble bard so sincerely?

Thinking of Selsey, the trapped beast in her heart seemed to have its hair smoothed out, and she vaguely realized that she was no longer in the cage. Now that she has someone who loves her, she can't be so extreme anymore. It's hard to go from luxury to frugality. For such people who are always high and mighty, it is enough to make their family destroyed and become despicable and rude people who are looked down upon.

As her thoughts changed, the subsequent story changed.

Seeing that Harvin's words were full of hidden meaning, Aurelia wanted to step forward to help Selsi, but a voice stopped her steps. 

"My Lord Viscount, it's an honor to meet you today." Aurelia looked at the woman in front of her. Her pure face made people unconsciously feel good about her. The first impression she gave was that she was simple and kind. 

Nerida, her former friend. She once thought that this person was a clear stream in the game of power, but now think about it, how could it be possible. 

His eyes traced her clean face. Who could have imagined the darkness in her heart? Even she at that time could not. 

Nerida's family depended on the Caedmon family. She knew it since she was a child, so it was not surprising that she appeared here. 

"My Lord Viscount, have we met before?" 

Nerida smiled sweetly, which made people feel pity. 

"No." 

Aurelia turned around and was about to walk towards Selsi. She didn't want to see her. She was afraid that she couldn't help but want to kill her. 

"That's my offense, Lord Viscount. You look like a friend of mine. I must have confused you." 

Nerida was secretly annoyed. Why did she ask such an unreasonable question. That person is dead and will never appear again in this life. Maybe it's because their temperaments are very similar, the kind of aloofness that keeps people away. 

She always feels proud when she thinks that she was the only one of that fool. Such a proud person fell at her feet and only obeyed her. What an exciting thing. 

She never regretted pushing her into the abyss. It was just a show. It could bring benefits to her and her family. Killing a demon who deserved to die, why not? 

Looking at the cold back figure going away, desire rose in her heart. The Duke wanted to win over this person. If she could make such a cold person surrender to her feet again, like that person, what an exciting thing it would be. And she could also use this to offer her to the Duke. When the Duke gave her benefits... 

Thinking of this, she quickly hid her determined eyes. She was a little white flower in the mud of power. It was the easiest to arouse people's interest. As long as there was interest, it was the beginning of sinking. 

Aurelia heard what Nereida said, but she did not stop for a moment. All her actions were meaningless. She walked towards Selsie firmly.
