Chapter 293: 292 Make me a noble? Chapter 293: 292 Make me a noble? The Lazahad family, dining room.
After several days, the members of Vivian’s Team finally gathered here again.
The group of girls enjoyed the delicious cuisine while chatting happily, bringing warmth and youth to the entire dining room.
Shane felt quite emotional watching this scene.
“They’ve just been through a life-or-death ordeal, yet they’ve managed to recover so quickly.”
No, it wasn’t just a matter of recovery.
Shane could see that the bond between Vivian and her companions seemed even stronger than before.
Especially Tielle, who rarely took part in idle chatter before, preferring to quietly sip her tea at the sidelines, was now occasionally joining the conversation.
This was proof of a shift in Tielle’s mindset.
After the recent events, Tielle had realized that her companions didn’t care about her background and would stand by her side through life and death.
Particularly since Tielle’s “Ghost” had been exposed, yet none of those around her had changed their attitude or interrogated her about it; it was as if it never happened, which must have been very moving for Tielle?
The girls hadn’t even talked about being framed.
That’s because the trap was aimed at Tielle, and they were just caught up in it. They worried discussing it would make Tielle feel guilty.
So, they truly acted as if the event had never happened, always smiling and talking about trivial matters, which probably brought some comfort and redemption to Tielle, allowing her to open up more in front of everyone, right?
Instead, it was Shane who felt like his attention was often drawn to Tielle, just like a lovesick boy in his first romance.
Who could blame him after having just fought a battle with her in his dreams?
It was impossible not to think about it.
Of course, Tielle hadn’t noticed this, or who knows what kind of reaction it might have provoked.
However, Lasha’s arrival was something that the girls were quite concerned about.
“Lasha, may I serve this dish now?”
“Could you take a look at this dish, Lady Lasha?”
“Big Sister, are you tired?”
“You should rest for a bit, Big Sister.”
Around Lasha, who was attending nearby, the maids and chefs of the Lazahad family would approach her now and then, seeking her advice and looking at her with admiration, leaving the girls feeling rather baffled.
“…Honestly, what on earth happened while we were away?”
“…Is that the maid accompanying that person?”
“The one from Huaming Pavilion?”
“Why is she here getting such enthusiastic treatment from the servants here, or rather, why do they seem to adore her…?”
Vivian, Tielle, Lu Muya, and Merica looked at each other in confusion, silently observing the situation.
Lasha had appeared after they left the Royal Capital for Artlu Canyon and had been brought back by Shane, so their confusion was understandable.
Shane made an effort to explain briefly, telling everyone that Lasha would be staying with him for a while under his care.
Although the girls didn’t know what had happened, they didn’t challenge Shane’s decision. Vivian even offered to intervene if necessary and ask Lord Migis for permission to let Lasha stay.
Little did they know…
“Please be assured, on the day I moved in here, I had already privately sought Lord Migis’s consent and obtained permission to stay on the condition that I deal with the miscellaneous affairs of the Lazahad family, so there’s no need for everyone to get involved.”
Lasha’s calm words left everyone speechless.
Even Shane’s mouth twitched.
He had no idea about this at all.
No wonder Lord Migis had been so agreeable when he asked for Lasha’s living permit, and no wonder Lasha had managed the estate so well, even creating a paradise on earth–it all came down to having private arrangements beforehand, huh?
While Shane was inexplicably seething, the ladies had come to recognize Lasha’s transcendent abilities, each of them seemingly taking an interest in her and starting to converse with her.
Lasha responded sporadically, neither too humbly nor too rudely, giving off a feeling of neither inferiority nor arrogance. She even had a bit of Big Sister’s demeanor.
And as they chatted, a few pieces of good news surfaced.
One was that after going through this life-and-death ordeal, every member of Vivian’s Team had improved significantly.
Vivian herself had reached Level 52.
Tielle had also successfully reached Level 60.
Merica had reached Level 45.
Even Lu Muya’s level had increased, now at Level 47.
The strengths of all the ladies had been enhanced, especially Tielle’s, who, after breaking through to Level 60, had firmly secured the title of the second genius, ranking right below Luoqi. Her “Magical Sword” Skill had also been upgraded to Level 4, which was considerably stronger than before.
As the saying goes, blessings and disasters come hand in hand. Surviving a life-and-death situation is undoubtedly the clearest path to individual growth, so it was understandable that the members of Vivian’s Team could advance several levels in one go.
Additionally, because they had all been implicated in the crisis by being framed by the Galuo Li Family, they received compensation from the Kingdom for their involvement in the incident.
To be specific, they acquired a small portion of the possessions of the nobles who had been wiped out by You Lin. It was just enough to upgrade their own equipment significantly, thereby increasing their strength once again.
Vivian’s Team had decided to spend the next few days shopping in the Royal Capital, taking advantage of the opportunity to purchase some fine equipment produced there and even stocking up on some Magic Potions in case they needed to endure several days of harsh battles again.
With high-quality Magic Potions, whether for healing injuries, restoring Magic Power, or recovering Physical Strength and energy, they were all immensely helpful.
Therefore, the ladies were ready to splurge.
Naturally, Shane, the pauper, had neither the feeling of excitement nor the right to participate.
His money had already been wiped out by two dessert monsters, and from now on, he’d have to tighten his belt and live frugally–no splurging for him.
But Shane was not to be pitied.
He had his own piece of good news, didn’t he?
“You’ve done a great service this time, have you thought about what reward you want?” Vivian had asked Shane.
Indeed, Shane’s reward for this incident hadn’t come yet.
And this is what Shane thought.
“As long as you don’t make me a noble, I’m open to anything.”
That meant he didn’t want anything superficial; he would accept anything tangible.
Such was Shane’s mindset until, after visiting Luoqi’s room, his decision was completely overturned.
“You’re making me a noble too?”
Shane stared at Luoqi in shock.
Luoqi nodded solemnly.
