“That stupid girl receives the direct lineage necklace?!”
After being sentenced to house arrest, Tedrick, who had moved into a small, shabby place, screamed at the top of his lungs.
His butler trembled in surprise and bowed his head.
“How can such ridiculous nonsense exist!”
Tedrick tried to get out immediately, but...
“You can't go out, young master.”
He was intercepted by Fraser's own soldiers. They were soldiers who only carried out the orders of the Grand Duke.
If not, his sympathetic mother and father would have already mildly released him while observing the mood of Grand Duke Fraser's assistant.
Tedric Fraser returned grumbling and squinted when he saw that his butler had not left yet and his eyes were worried.
What! What's left?
“That, Young Master Tedric.”
When Tedric heard what his butler said in a low voice, he felt like his head became bright red.
What? That empty-headed girl got an excellent grade?!
It was as hard to believe as saying that pebbles suddenly fell from the sky instead of raindrops.
For a while, all kinds of evil thoughts passed through his mind – cheating, or those annoying twin brothers organizing and sending out secret answer sheets – but they were quickly chased away.
Cheating?
Schultz-Schmidt, the spirit of the White Tower, was actually like an ancient book that had been frozen for a thousand years.
He had never bowed even to Tedric Fraser, who had always lived like a prince in a small kingdom.
“Our son comes home completely frustrated after only attending classes, this damned soul is really unlucky!”
Lelius even screamed with such indignation, it was so bad.
The twin brothers of the House of Marquis.
Tullia's twin brothers currently in the academy were extremely talented individuals, however.
“Are these guys going to help Tullia?”
This is ridiculous.
As her cousin, he knew better than anyone else how bad the relationship between Tullia and her family was.
“My father used to say that in the old days.”
Tedrick. Tell this to Tulia every chance you get. You are as rude as mud on the ground compared to other women.
Torturing Tullia was an act to alleviate Tedric's inferiority complex, so he gladly carried out his father's orders.
His father was the youngest son of the Grand Duke but had strong hidden ambitions, so he had a strong eye for seeing the essence of people.
In his eyes, Tullia was a dangerous element.
The reason was simple.
Because Tullia Fraser was the “only” granddaughter of the Grand Duke.
If Tullia came to her senses and behaved even a little decently, Grand Duke Fraser would immediately grant his granddaughter countless privileges.
The Grand Duke loved his “daughter” exceptionally well.
Therefore, Tolya cannot be allowed at all to grow up properly and intelligently.
The position of Tullia Fraser was one that could take away all the privileges he was supposed to receive from Tedrick and leave him with much more.
His father stimulated Tullia's extravagant tendencies, which the Marquis practically abandoned, causing her to turn away from academic studies and focus solely on luxury and adornment.
There was one mistake in the process though.
Is it because you have no parents? You are a beggar and very rude compared to other ladies who have fathers.
It just so happened that the words Tedrick himself delivered touched the reverse measure of Tullia.
It was also the starting point where his father's original goal of raising Tullia to be a vulgar, who only knew how to be extravagant, and a fool who did not know good etiquette began to deteriorate.
Lyrics about not having parents.
Lyrics about being corny because she didn't have parents.
Tulia Fraser stayed up all night in the library learning etiquette.
I learned it like crazy.
Even when his father gently persuaded him from the side, he was ultimately unable to stop it.
But other than that, things went smoothly according to his father's intentions.
Because Tullia would summon jewelers or fashion designers to the castle when she felt like it.
Tullia, her eyes turned to luxury, strove to adorn herself as splendidly as possible.
That worthless girl, what? Perfect score?
Tedric gritted his teeth.
Thanks to his parents teaching him the best teachers, Tedrick has always managed to get excellent grades in exams.
Even though he was a direct descendant of the Fraser, as someone who would only inherit the title of Baron, his ability to act arrogantly towards the sons and daughters of the region was thanks to those excellent grades…
Moreover, I will receive the direct lineage pendant tomorrow, my grandfather is always like this. Always focused on capabilities. An old man with scary eyes, ruthless.
Tedric began to think deeply.
How to make Tulia Fraser suffer.
How does it make her suffer?
How do you make this girl know where she is...
“Ah!”
“According to the Fraser family law, direct lineage tests are always conducted unexpectedly, and cheating is strictly forbidden, right?”
“Yes, Young Master Tedric.”
My exam papers. You maintain it well, right?
"Yes, of course."
Lilius knew very well that his son Tedric needed to get high grades in order to stand out.
Moreover, he was already very wealthy thanks to the crumbs that fell from the “rights to manage the internal affairs of the Grand Duke’s House.”
Enrolling eight famous and expensive private tutors for his son was an easy task.
Tedrick's exam papers, in which they received excellent grades, were a source of pride for them.
Tedric smiled savagely and said.
“Get this as discreetly as possible.”

“Ms. Tulia.”
Adel, who was taking care of my bedroom as usual, quietly took something out of her chest.
“Relda has been hiding deep in your closet, miss.”
When I received the packet of papers that Adel handed me and examined them, I immediately made a silly expression.
“This is Tedrick's base...”
He almost called me “bastard,” so I quickly cleared my throat.
“This is that guy Tedrick's exam paper, isn't it?”
Tedric wasn't much different in age from me, so it hadn't even been half a year since he obtained the Direct Lineage Pendant.
Both well preserved, the packet of papers from the direct pedigree test was as clean as if it had been received yesterday.
Naturally, my eyes went to the exam content.
Looking at it from this perspective, there are overlapping types of questions. But no questions seem to be identical.
Recently I have been impressed by Schultz-Schmidt's diligence.
"Or not? Wasn't it Schultz-Schmidt, but I was so into it?"
Anyway, if you think about it, this is also the direct lineage test that appears in , so it also means I know everything.
How intensely did she play games during each break time...?
As I thought about the time Han Ina spent juggling part-time work, teaching, and preparing for the job, I shook my head vigorously.
“Thank you for finding this for me, Adel.”
No, not at all. Rilda was acting suspicious, so I just watched her movements.
Tedrick is currently under house arrest.
I believe he resides separately in a small, shabby tower, far from the stateroom he usually occupies.
“This bastard is finished.”
Instead of thinking about his actions, he tries to pin a strange crime on me?
“Adel, burn this immediately.”
“Yes, Miss Tulia.”
And Adel, can you prepare several papers similar to this?
She whispered in a small voice.
This should be done secretly if possible. Can you do that?
Then Adel rolled her eyes once and whispered in return, “Oh!”
I know the right place to get some. I'll have it ready right away, miss.
"Thanks."
Is that bastard Tedrick trying to scam me?
I will pay him double the amount.
