Chapter 39 Trust

Since Aurelia accepted the Duke's kindness, Harvin's attitude towards her throughout the afternoon has really changed.

But there is only one thing, Aurelia is always just a chess piece that can be used in his eyes.

After the dinner, Aurelia left first on the pretext that she couldn't wait to see the colorful-winged birdman.

A few minutes after Aurelia left, Selsi also returned to the room on the pretext of going back to conceive a work.

Aurelia looked at Kalani curled up on the ground in front of her, frowned, and opened the cage.

Kalani trembled with fear, she didn't know what this person was going to do.

Aurelia took her out of the cage and put her on the bed, and used the key to unlock her shackles.

Kalani felt complicated and was afraid that she would do something to herself, but she didn't need to unlock her shackles.

Aurelia threw the shackles aside and stood far away from the bed.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

She pinched the hem of her clothes a little awkwardly: "Someone will come to help you heal your wounds in a while."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a knock on the door.

Aurelia asked the visitor cautiously and heard a familiar voice.

"It's me, Nerida."

Aurelia's expression darkened inside the door. She took a deep breath, opened the door a crack, and her expression returned to indifference.

"What's the matter?"

She asked impatiently.

"I want to know about the orc. She looked very bad this morning."

Nerida was wearing a white dress, her eyebrows slightly frowned with concern, and she looked very pitiful.

No one would embarrass a kind girl, not to mention that she was so lovable.

Unfortunately, the person in front of her was a devil, the devil she had killed.

"This is none of your business. Please leave me."

Aurelia spit out cold words from her warm mouth, and turned sideways to block Nerida's view of peeking in.

"Ah, Lord Viscount misunderstood, I don't have any improper thoughts about your property."

Nerida hurriedly defended herself, but she was interrupted before she finished speaking.

"I don't care what you want to do. You are not welcome here. Please leave now."

Aurelia issued an ultimatum.

Nerida was frightened by the evil spirit on her body. She continued tremblingly: "I just..."

Seeing Aurelia's fierce eyes, she hurriedly changed her words: "Ah, in that case, I won't disturb the Viscount to rest."

The hiding people looked at her back with embarrassment as she left.

"Come out!"

Aurelia turned her head and glared in the direction of the hider.

Selsi came out with a crouched waist.

Seeing her lover, Aurelia's face softened suddenly.

She turned sideways and said to her: "Come in quickly."

Selsi rushed into the room. Aurelia patrolled the corridor and found no suspicious people, so she quickly closed the door.

Kalani saw the person who had a peaceful breath in the morning, and suddenly seemed to have a backbone, and tears flowed out.

"Good child, don't be sad, you are saved."

Selsi walked forward and put Kalani in her arms, holding her hand to give her strength.

Kalani cried silently. For some reason, she believed in her.

Aurelia wondered if it was because of her natural power.

Perhaps it was partly true, but it was more because of her gentleness.

Selsi leaned Kalani against the bed, took out the potion from her pocket and fed it to her, and plucked the lyre to play a healing melody to help.

Kalani felt warm all over, and her strength was recovering little by little. After a while, she saw herself in good shape in the mirror handed to her by Aurelia.

Selsi handed her a set of plain clothes. Healing could not heal her tattered clothes.

Kalani looked at the two gratefully: "My Lord, I have no way to repay you for your kindness. I will do anything I can for you."

Selsi waved her hand quickly: "No need to repay, it's just a small favor."

Aurelia nodded and added: "But it's not safe now, you can't leave for the time being."

Kalani nodded. Although her strength was back, she still felt very weak. It was indeed not safe now.

She believed that the benefactor must have their own arrangements, and she just had to follow their arrangements.

In the study room on the fourth floor again, Nerida was reporting the situation to Harvin.

Harvin stroked his chin in thought, and it seemed that he needed to observe further.

The next day, Aurelia was invited into the study room by Harvin.

"Come on, sit down."

Harvin pointed to the chair in front of him.

Aurelia pulled out the chair and sat on it.

"The day before yesterday, Nerida came to me and said that she went to find you but you drove her away. You should know her relationship with our family."

Harvin raised his chin arrogantly, and squinted his eyes slightly to look at the person in front of him.

"Of course, Duke, but I just hope that my property belongs to me completely."

Aurelia's answer was full of possessiveness and greed.

Feeling her greed, Harvin was satisfied with her reaction.

"You did have a contribution to Ailelian, but you asked for a knighthood..."

He asked about her achievements.

"I didn't make any great contribution in this matter, but if I can use this to exchange for a good career, these little lies are harmless."

Aurelia even told the truth in order to surrender.

Aurelia was asked several more questions about her future, and her answers always revolved around the hope of obtaining higher power, for which she was willing to follow the Duke until death.

Harvin believed 60% in his heart, but he still did not express his attitude on the surface.

In the following days, Nerida came to harass Aurelia every day, and Harvin also arranged different tests.

Aurelia gave a perfect response to each one, and Harvin gradually believed her completely.

On this day, Aurelia was invited into the study again.
