Hill continued to read.
After Melanie was seriously injured, she never got in touch with those princesses again.
She spent her last days staying on the estate, and Adrian dealt with all the subsequent affairs.
Although the Earl was somewhat interested in her fortune, the appearance of Adrian made him much more honest.
Considering that the dowry Fran had given Melanie was not very substantial, and most of the several hundred thousand gold coins' worth of property was things like estate jewelry, the Earl decided to give up the trouble for the sake of such an amount of money.
Hill sighed as he read this segment, which was highlighted—words said by some old servants left behind in White Horse City.
This Hill did understand. He had asked Lina why the Earl knew nothing of Melanie's property.
Lina only laughed, saying that the Earl didn't understand what an Alchemist was; he only looked inside the chest and never noticed Lady Melanie's jewelry.
