Sigil Online: I became the duke's third son
Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Chapter 79

The other six illusory figures sat there, mouths agape, trying to process what had just happened. Then they all started laughing.

Among them was a beautiful woman, Serina Caldwen. She glanced at Liana and saw her ears flushing red. The attendants behind her stood there frozen in place.

’Ah, how nice it is to be young and feisty,’ she mused, then stood up and cleared her throat to grab everyone’s attention.

"Hello, I am Serina Caldwen, also called the mistress of domestic affairs in a long-forgotten past. I will do my best to help the territory flourish," she politely announced with a bow.

A proud look on her face as she glanced at the two, Luan nodded at her with a grin. While Liana looked to be still processing what had just happened, she looked at Luan, still in a daze.

Serina didn’t wait for her to reply and instead sat back down. Feeling refreshed, inside the imperial palace her talents weren’t able to be utilized at all, but after she would get engaged, they would get a fief.

And only then will she finally be able to let her talents flourish and aid Liana in developing a great fief.

After Serina, everyone except Dren and Alrec did the same, vowing to help Her Highness and her fiancé, Luan Meskevela.

Luan now stood up and bowed deeply, his head almost hitting the table. "Thank you all for your support. I promise I will not let you down!" he declared, looking straight at Liana.

Who had just recovered from the previous statement, and once more her ears turned slightly red, but this time it was much more manageable, and she nodded with a bright smile.

’Mother was right; he is definitely extraordinary. It’s good that I came here today; the empire can’t lose him and his mother’s and father’s support,’ she thought.

With a single glance at Anna, she understood immediately and let her twin sister know what had happened. Who immediately let the Empress know of this joyous occasion?

"Don’t worry, Dren and Alrec, I’ll bring the plan of action at the latest by tomorrow evening. You two made a good point: if I’m going to get a fief, we will need to be ready for it," Luan stated.

Dren and Alrec nodded at Luan’s words. While Liana looked at him, tilting her head a little.

"How will we procure the necessary funds for it? We will probably get a little from my mother, the Empress, and from your parents, I assume, but that won’t be anywhere close to enough," she pointed out.

Luan sat down with a serious look on his face. "I started a business called The Silver Coin in the Xandrian Freeholds, and the moment they begin to start making profit, they will send monthly payments to me," he explained.

"That’s what I’ve been doing the last couple of months while I needed to leave the house after awakening. So it might not be enough, but if we carefully budget and don’t overspend, I think it should be doable."

Liana nodded; what he said made sense, but still she had no idea if the business would succeed or what it was even. "I don’t want to doubt you, but how certain are you it will be profitable? We have to be realistic right now."

Luciano was about to retort, but Luan just raised his hand and glared at him. Right after, Kian also appeared next to him with a stern gaze, and he backed down immediately, realizing that if he had done what he wanted to do, it could have ended badly.

She was not just any noblewoman; she was an imperial. If a mere servant had been rude to her, even if almost no one knew, he wouldn’t have been able to bear the consequences.

"That makes sense. But don’t worry too much, Liana. I have the support of Avalin Vandar, speaking about him. He will probably come here soonish and bring his daughter," Luan awkwardly said, looking straight at Liana to see her reaction.

Thinking back on it, he was planning to find multiple wives and live luxuriously, but now with Liana in the picture, he might need to rethink that goal.

"Oh, that is normal; do not worry about it. I can tolerate a couple extra wives as long as they are from prestigious families; the rest will have to be concubines, or there might happen succession disputes," she said.

"But do not go overboard," she very sternly said, looking Luan dead in the eyes.

"Understood," Luan immediately replied, as shivers ran down his spine the moment Liana said that all those illusory figures also glared at him. It was rather terrifying, all of them great diplomats or war generals from the past.

Aiming all their hostility at Luan, but right after he replied positively, it vanished without a trace, and Eva and Liana simultaneously deactivated their sigils, and they returned to the garden in the Mesekvela castle.

The maids, seeing Luan appear, heaved a sigh of relief, but the royal guards didn’t even flinch.

"Welcome back, my lady," David politely said.

"It’s done, David. Mother knows about it as well, and it should be announced very soon," Liana stated as she stood up.

"It was a good talk, Luan. I will now retire to my quarters to rest up, as I expect to be recalled to the palace soon," she said with a polite bow.

Luan nodded at her words, and his servants all bowed deeply. To make sure Her Highness didn’t bow lower than the commoners.

After Hana and Drago saw that, they each gave Luan a thumbs-up with bright smiles. It looked like the talk went well. "I’ll have to question him about it later," Hana muttered to herself. If her son got engaged to the princess, she would have to proceed faster than expected.

Drago, on the other hand, just raised an eyebrow, not knowing what to think about the whole ordeal. ’It looks like they’re at least still amicable? But what about the engagement?’ he thought. He was very curious, but his pride wouldn’t let him directly ask Luan.

He would rather wait until Hana informed him or until Luan told him.
