Chapter 216: Marriage Invitation

Count Celeste shook his head. "No one knew where Lady Aurora is. It’s said that after the announcement, she disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Lucy was dumbfounded.

How could a person disappear?

Count Celeste looked at his daughter helplessly. "She might have prepared a way out for herself or it was because of other factors that she disappear..."

"She should be fine," Lucy cut off her father’s words. "I believe in her. "

Even though Lucy was actually worried that something bad happened to Aurora, Lucy would rather believe that Aurora is fine.

In the time when Lucy interacted with Aurora in the past, Lucy had seen Aurora being so capable and acted as if everything was within her grasp. That kind of image had long taken a root in Lucy’s heart.

She believed that Aurora is fine and that she might have used this chance to do something else.

As for someone else using Aurora?

Lucy didn’t believe it in the slightest bit.

No one could outsmart Aurora!

Count Celeste looked at his daughter and chuckled. "You seem to have a lot of faith in her."

Even though Lucy was quite careless but Count Celeste knew his daughter would not give such an evaluation easily. This showed that Aurora should be really remarkable and made Lucy be willing to listen to her and believed her.

This was consistent with the reputation that Aurora had built over the years.

But even if that was so, Count Celeste was not willing to get involved in this mess.

Staying at the border alone was already difficult with so many challenges and so on. If he had to be dragged in other people’s problem, he might not be able to survive in this world.

"I do." Lucy nodded.

Count Celeste nodded. "The other one is about Lady Annelie’s marriage with Sir Leon."

"Hmm?" Lucy was stunned.

She knew that Annelie and Leon were engaged with each other, but she didn’t expect that they would get married so quickly. They have only graduated from the academy and these two people were already going to get married?

Lucy was in disbelief.

"So fast?"

"Yes." Count Celeste nodded. "It might be because there’s a war in Duke Sun’s territory with the Sand Kingdom. Sir Leon is married so that he didn’t have to be involved in the conflict."

Though, from what Count Celeste knew, the main force for the war was actually Duke Yelan’s soldiers. Duke Sun didn’t actually fight on the frontline much.

But he would not tell this to his daughter.

After all, he was not sure about the situation on the frontline either.

"I see." Lucy nodded.

Well, the situation at the border was indeed not peaceful but it was the wrong border that her father mentioned to her. Thinking about this matter, Lucy felt a bit annoyed again. She didn’t like being lied to.

"Do you want to attend the marriage ceremony?"

"When is it?"

"Four days from now."

Lucy: "..."

Thinking about the distance from Celeste Family’s territory to the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City, Lucy felt that her father should not ask this question to her. It was simply impossible for her to reach the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City within four days.

Even if she wanted to attend, it would not be possible.

Seeing Lucy’s unfriendly look, Count Celeste spread his hand. "It’s not my fault that the letters arrived late."

When he saw the date, Count Celeste also knew that it was impossible for Lucy to arrive in time. At most, she could arrive two days after the marriage was done and gave her congratulatory gifts to Annelie.

There was no other options.

When Annelie and Leon set the date of their marriage, they might not consider that there were some people who were simply living far away from the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City. By the time the letter of invitation arrived, there was not enough time for them to go to the Yellow Kingdom’s Capital City.

"I’ll send a letter and a gift," Lucy said helplessly.

Then again, the marriage between Annelie and Leon was a political marriage.

Lucy sighed when she thought about this.

Speaking of marriage...

Count Celeste looked at Lucy and then asked, "What kind of men do you like? I still need a son in law to have future successor."

Lucy was stunned and looked at her father helplessly. "I don’t know, Father."

"You can choose from the knights in the Celeste house or if you want to, I can ask for them to gather and..."

"Stop, stop!" Lucy raised her hand to stop her father from making her marriage arrangement. She felt that if she let her father continued, he might even make an announcement to the entire Celeste territory to find a suitable son in law.

Moreover, Count Celeste’s requirement for son in law was not really that high. As long as Lucy like him and he like her back and willing to be the son in law of the Celeste Family, it was enough.

Because the next head of the Celeste Family is Lucy.

This was something that Lucy and her father had discussed ever since Lucy was young. Since Lucy had proven herself capable enough, the position of the head will fall to her.

In this way, Count Celeste didn’t really care about the background of the man who will marry Lucy.

A noble would be better, but if she found someone who was not a noble, then he could still accept it.

"You can tell me when you make your decision." Count Celeste shrugged.

Lucy looked at her father helplessly. "I know, I know, we already talked about this matter before!"

Count Celeste smiled and didn’t say anything else.

Anyway, he had no intention to force his daughter to get married. He will just remind her from time to time.

Otherwise, Lucy will never think about it for the rest of her life and Count Celeste would not have his grandchild who will continue the Celeste Family.
