Chapter 16: The Rich Little Woman is also a Suspected Yandere

Hall looked at Leticia’s expression, a little surprised.

He repeatedly confirmed his memories, and the two had indeed never met.

But Leticia’s reaction didn’t seem like she was lying to him.

Considering that in the story, he would most likely be killed by Leticia after having a relationship with her.

He couldn’t help but suspect that Leticia, like his younger sister Lorraine, was a hidden yandere.

And at this point in the game’s timeline, theoretically, he and her were not familiar with each other.

It was a matter of life and death, so Hall felt that it was fine to be a little more cautious.

Furthermore, even if Leticia wasn’t lying to him, or if Leticia wanted to strike up a conversation with him, Leticia was still a heroine.
If he had a good relationship with Leticia, it would be easy for him to get into trouble.

His life was more important.
Even though Hall quite liked Leticia’s rich little woman persona when he was playing the game, he could only say.

“After thinking about it, Duchess Leticia, you may have mistaken me for someone else. I have not met you before.”

“But…”

‘I would never be mistaken.’

The rose-clad girl told herself in her heart.
Many people had passed by her in her life.

But she could only remember five of them.

One was her mother, who had died of illness in poverty.
One was the servant who had risked his life to send her back to the Child family.

Her father, who was already bedridden when they first met, but who still cleared away obstacles for her like a lion before finally passing away.
And the old butler who now managed everything for the Child family, helping her suppress those annoying relatives.

And the boy she had seen in the depths of that garden, quiet but exuding a maturity beyond his years.

Leticia would not be mistaken, because there were very few people she needed to remember.

‘Was I rejected?’

She suddenly remembered what the old butler had said to her a few days ago.
It was a casual chat.

During the chat, the old butler said that she seemed to be paying special attention to the second son of the Faxtius family.

Leticia lowered her head and blushed, denying it.
But the old butler just said as usual, “There are rumors in the Cardinal Conference that the second son seems to have a fiancée.”

The rose-colored girl was struck by lightning.
She remembered that Hall and Himan had a good relationship since they were young.
In the early years when Hall’s reputation had not yet collapsed, there were also rumors that Himan and Hall were already engaged.

Marriage between cousins was not uncommon in noble circles, but now the relationship between Himan and Hall was like fire and water.

So Leticia said: “But Miss Himan of the Von Braun family seems to dislike Hall.”

But the butler just continued: “It is said to be a very beautiful Eastern woman.”

“Huh?”

Leticia was actually a little disbelieving.
It was unlikely that Hall had an Eastern woman as his fiancée.

In Saint Louis, Easterners were not very well-liked.

Because in the national policies of the countries of the Western Continent, the East belonged to the ancient barbarians, and the Xia Kingdom was the leader of those barbarians.

The laws and systems they believed in were still the same as when the Demon God ruled the Western Continent a thousand years ago.
A hundred years ago, after the threat of the demon kings was basically stabilized, the Church also formed a multinational alliance under the banner of liberating the Eastern Continent.

As a result, after a long war, the Western allied forces did not gain much advantage, but were instead sneak-attacked by the demon king of the due west demon domain and the demon king of the due south demon domain, leading their demon armies.

Furthermore, how beautiful could an Eastern woman be?

The cosmetics and dresses of the Western Continent had already been iterated for hundreds of years.
Saint Louis was the most fashionable place, and the young ladies of the noble families all had their own exclusive clothing designers.

At the Demon Slaying Holy Festival held at the end of each year, all kinds of beautiful dresses could be seen.

Every girl was like a dazzling new star.

In comparison, Eastern women were very rustic.

This was the consensus of the young masters and ladies of Saint Louis.

Although Leticia herself was not interested in these claims, she still subconsciously thought that Hall’s mysterious fiancée was probably not as beautiful as her.

Because of these thoughts, the rose-colored girl across from Hall’s face became more and more sad.

But before he could speak, he heard a sound of something cutting through the air.

He subconsciously drew the long sword from his waist.

The clash was only for an instant.

“Heh, I didn’t expect the young master of the Faxtius family to have some strength.”

The one who had just rushed out from the shadows was a beautiful, long-legged woman in black.

Because she was wearing a veil, Hall could not see her face clearly, but he actually knew.

This person was probably the vice-captain of the female knight order that secretly protected Leticia—Moyel.

Moyel, like Maria, was a secondary female character.
Because Leticia was a heroine, but her main skills were mostly supportive, and her skill values were relatively low when she was a C-type character, so in the early stages, she usually relied on supporting a main C-type character to deal damage after recruiting one.

Moyel was a main C-type character that was relatively easy to recruit in the early stages of Leticia’s route.

She was level sixty-five when she was recruited, and her background story was that she was being trained as the next generation captain of the female knight order.

Without taking any special items, her level cap was also eighty-nine, which was basically on par with some heroines.

The evaluation of veteran players was—a must-train in the early stages of Leticia’s route.
In other routes, if you recruited Leticia and lacked a main C-type character, you could also consider training her.

“Vice-Captain Moyel, you flatter me.”

“?”

Hearing Hall’s casual words, Moyel’s killing intent suddenly surged in her heart.

Her name was only known to the core members of the Child family.

Because she was an orphan adopted by the Child family.
Her existence until now was to protect this rose princess.

A sword in the dark did not need its name to be known by outsiders.

Could it be that there was a mole in the Child family, and even a rogue young master like Hall could know her name?

But she did not act rashly, nor did she ask Hall why he knew.
If she asked, it might alert the mole in the family.

“Moyel, you don’t have to act.”

Leticia raised her small right hand.

“But Miss, he just made you…”

Moyel could not bear to see Leticia being wronged.
Not only Hall, even a man who was publicly recognized as a good man in Saint Louis was not allowed.

Whoever made the little princess of the Child family upset should die.

The Child family was a merchant family.
To be able to grow to the point of being wealthy enough to rival a nation under Leticia’s father’s hands, they had of course used many dirty methods.

The old man had also said before his death that anyone who made Leticia cry must be sent to the grave in the next moment.

What was more entertaining was that when the old man was critically ill and on the verge of death, he waited until Leticia returned from her teacher’s place.
After seeing his daughter’s tears for the first time, he passed away completely.

Hall was also trying to understand the situation here, but he really couldn’t remember when he had met Leticia.

And the book he was reading, did this game’s character like reading so much?

“Alright then, I understand.”

Before he could speak, the rose-colored girl on the other side bit her lip and said softly.

Hall didn’t say anything to this.

Then Leticia seemed to have made up her mind, clenched her small fists, and said she would leave first today, and they would see each other again in the future.

And after Moyel escorted Leticia far away from here, she turned her head and stared at Hall.

Although the other party was wearing a black veil, Hall was very sure.

The other party’s eyes were saying, “It’s best to keep your distance from my young lady.”

To this, Hall also agreed.

Indeed, he wanted to live a few more days.

Immediately, he stepped into the gate in front of him, which was carved with a black cross emblem.

Inside was the headquarters of the Black Knights Order.
