IWDFLSB (Novel) Chapter 45

                 




C45

Is it just a coincidence?

Because Liena herself acted differently from her previous life, her fate may have changed through a chain reaction with unknown intermediate steps.

But still, there was something unclear.

Liena had also spent several years searching for the ambassador's daughter but had only discovered her name and that she lived in the capital. Even with Cassius' intelligence and her own connections.

There was very little information. In her last life, the ambassador did not want his daughter's tragic death to become a public interest, so he only exposed minimal information to the media.

And at that time, Liena was just a commoner. There was no way to know information that was not published in the newspaper.

However, Ethel found her. And that happened just before the divorce trial. As a result, maximum advantage can be taken of the ambassador's favor.

Is it really a coincidence? A terrifying assumption crossed her mind.

"It's impossible that she went back to the past like me..."

The accident that had continued without stopping suddenly stopped.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Because her second brother asked with a concerned expression on his face.

"Eh? Why do you say that?"

"You look a bit pale..."

"Oh! It's not a big deal. I was wondering how my sister-in-law found the ambassador's daughter. I couldn't find her for so long."

"If that's the case, it's here."

Leheim pointed to a corner of the newspaper.

"My sister-in-law's lawyer is a divorce attorney. She often advises people who want to divorce but are not in a good financial situation."

According to the article, the ambassador's daughter was among them, and Ethel saw Diana while visiting her lawyer's office. Thanks to her resemblance, she remembered Ambassador Leok's story and helped her find her parents.

"Did my sister-in-law know the ambassador?"

"I don't know."

Leandro tilted his head.

"What does my older brother know about my sister-in-law?"

A sharp question arose without him realizing it.

When Leandro was puzzled, Liena quickly added with a gentle smile.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to blame you. I'm a bit tired these days."

"When you get home, rest a bit. And this is just my guess... Maybe she saw him in passing when she passed through the capital for a family gathering. Ethel used to go out alone often."

Leheim agreed.

"That's where nobles get some fresh air."

"But Ambassador Leok doesn't participate much in social activities, maybe because of the loss of his daughter."

"It's not like he completely cut ties with the secular world. You also exchange greetings."

Indeed, it was a deliberate approach to get to know him in advance so she could find his daughter in the future.

Liena relaxed and put down the newspaper. Ethel's luck seemed quite good, but it was not an incoherent explanation.

"That's right. What was I thinking? Regression is not common."

While dealing with Ethel for the past two years, she never had the impression that she remembered her past life. It didn't seem like she was enveloped in the blessings of the goddess like herself.

Above all, regression did not provide a clear way to find the ambassador's daughter. If that were the case, Liena would have found her earlier.

But...

"I'll have to find out more about this later, just in case."

There's nothing wrong with being cautious.

"It's time to start."

At the Duke's words, Liena stood up. Anyway, it was time to focus on the trial that was just around the corner.

-------------

20 minutes before the trial.

I sat in the plaintiff's waiting room, took a deep breath, and calmed my mind. It was the moment I had been waiting for so long, but when it was in front of me, I got nervous.

I thought about sharing some comfort with someone who must be fed up and tired of it.

"Haha, you can do it. You can do it."

Sharon, who was sitting in front of me, seemed to be more nervous than I was and was murmuring something.

Not that I didn't understand. Sharon felt a great sense of responsibility for this trial from the beginning. Moreover...

I got up from my seat and opened the door a bit.

"Where is the second court?"

"This way."

People kept entering the courtroom. There are many. This may be Sharon's first trial with so many spectators.

Since my divorce and Leandro's divorce were a hot topic, there were countless people who wanted to attend.

As it is in name and appearance the second court of the Imperial Central Court, there are many spectators, and it is said that more than 100 times more participation requests were received.

"Originally, the audience members would be selected purely by lottery... Not today!"

I could barely contain the mischievous laughter that was about to burst out.

If you choose it this way, will it be filled with Liena's fan club members or Cassius' people?

Today's trial clearly took place under the influence of the emperor. And the emperor disapproves of Cassius, who has become too powerful.
