The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1151

Meanwhile, at Lionheart Residence in Morhen, Titus was pacing around, holding a book and reciting the text.

It was the punishment his father had sentenced him to—he had to commit to memory fifty tomes of ancient scriptures before leaving his room.

And Titus accepted the punishment without complaint.

"Terrible news, Mr. Lionheart!"

Just then, Luigi, one of the family's stewards ran into his study, crying out panickedly.

However, Titus only waited until he finished the verse he had been reciting before finally turning toward Luigi. "What is it?"

In contrast to Luigi's flustered reaction, Titus remained impassive, his thoughts inscrutable.

"Sir, we've just received word from the Soranos," Luigi cried mournfully. "Lady Sif has been killed in Jundo Showtown!"

"Killed?" Titus's eyes flashed coolly as he looked at Luigi. "Tell me everything."

"So, the Turnbulls conspired with Frank Lawrence and the South Sea Crow to abduct Lady Sif before, and she wanted revenge. She contacted Blackrank…"

Even as Luigi gave a summary of what had happened, he only spoke from the Lionhearts' standpoint, flattering Sif's actions thoroughly while disparaging Frank and the Turnbulls endlessly.

Titus, however, was not so foolish that he would be confused by such simple verbal deception.

Titus snickered and cut him off. "So you're saying that I'm no different from Sif?"

"No, sir. I'd never insult you so." Luigi promptly dropped to one knee.

"Then listen closely," Titus said quietly. "Do you know why my father returned? And while he criticized my conspiracy, why did he not actually punish me or even forfeit me as a potential successor to the family?"

Though it was a weird question, Luigi gingery made an attempt at flattery. "Because… you've proved your cunning, and Master Lionheart can't bear to hurt you?"

"Nope," Titus replied, chuckling coolly and completely denying Luigi's sycophancy. "That's because I see further than Sif ever could."
