My Sister Took My Fiancé and Now I’m Forced to Marry the Ugly Duke - Chapter 38
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
The Crown Prince’s Courtship
“But, I was surprised. You look a lot brighter than when you were in the Illuminati.”
“I-is that so….”
Lucrezia tensed, wondering if he was implying what a dissolute daughter she was during her father’s mourning period.
“I’m sure the climate here suited you. You look much better now.”
But Reisch didn’t seem to have any hidden meaning, and he simply praised her.
Lucrezia glanced at Ramilio next to her, feeling her cheeks dyed.
If Lucrezia had changed, it was because of Ramilio.
“I’m just relieved that the war has been brought to a successful conclusion.”
“…. Yes, I, for one, am more than happy that peace has been made again without any prolonged delay.”
“… I’m sorry about your father.”
Lucrezia was at a loss for words to reply to Reisch’s words.
She still didn’t know what to make of her father’s death in the war.
“I understand your remorse. Please don’t say anything. I feel responsible as well.”
Lucrezia was rather flustered, as Reisch said it with regret.
“Such words are more than I deserve!”
“But, I couldn’t face you if I’d only cared a little more.”
“Your Highness…”
Ramilio suddenly leaned closer to Lucrezia and asked quietly.
“Have you had any previous interactions with the Crown Prince?”
“Yes. My father and I were quite friendly with him.”
“Really…”
Ramilio reached out to him and shook his hand.
“My name is Ramilio, Grand Duke of Pastore. Lucrezia and I plan to marry as soon as the mourning period is over.”
“Is that so? Congratulations.”
She stared at the two of them, a little caught up in the statement as if she had just learned about it for the first time.
‘Is it just me or does the atmosphere seem… tense?’
However, there was nothing else strange about it. A casual conversation soon began between the two of them and flowed along without any incident.
“Of course, we would like to thank the people of Rai for their support….”
Conversations such as “Let’s get along with each other” continued.
‘I wonder if it was my imagination.’
Reisch was outwardly a nice young man when he was in his home country, but he also made the occasional off-the-cuff remarks, and she had known for some time that he was a very hard-line pro-war person.
That’s why, when he asked to see her today, she was a little nervous, thinking that he was after Pastore this time.
‘But, Pastore is a little too inland, right? Considering the hassle and cost of resupply, it’s not worth it to keep it even as an enclave.’
While she was speculating about his intentions, Reisch cut in.
“This is my own way of saying thank you. At the Illuminati, the Serravalle family really helped me with everything.”
Lucrezia became more vigilant.
‘Although our relationship with them was normal, we were never in a position to help each other…’
Lucrezia realized belatedly that it also pointed to the folly of Rosa and her father, which had triggered the war.
‘Are you trying to say that the port city was taken because we were foolish?’
Reisch smiled at Lucrezia, who was feeling unpleasant.
“I hope you will accept it, even though it is a small repayment compared to the generosity of the Serravalle family.”
On the terrace, large boxes were brought in one after another.
Reisch took one of them and opened it.
A diamond necklace, brilliantly shimmering in the sunlight and the reflection from the sea, was placed atop the white silk.
It was the jewelry that Lucrezia kept in the safe deposit box.
“Is this all your father’s belongings? I want you to check.”
Lucrezia inspected the boxes one by one in disbelief.
As you can imagine, she couldn’t remember everything, but all the major pieces of jewelry were there. She thought they were never coming back.
“Your Highness purposely deliver this….?”
He would’ve had no obligation to return it. Although the international community had come to criticize looting in war zones, there was no real crackdown on it.
“You don’t need to thank me. Please don’t ever worry about repaying me. The benefits I have received from you are immeasurable.”
Reisch smiled pleasantly.
There was really nothing behind it, and it seemed that he was simply returning the favor.
“Then, I will receive it. Thank you very much.”
Then, Reisch grinned.
“If I offered to give you three times this amount of jewelry, would you marry me?”
Lucrezia was extremely bewildered.
“Considering that our country will prosper even more with this latest victory, it’s a small price to pay.”
Lucrezia quickly snapped out of her state of shock.
‘What, you just wanted to brag about it, didn’t you?’
In truth, he probably wanted to openly brag about the profits he would get from the port town. However, Lucrezia was from the Illuminati, and it would’ve been rude to be so blunt.
He must’ve been in the mood for a good laugh.
Lucrezia, with a sullen look on her face, quickly pondered what to say to refuse?
“If Your Highness is willing to pay three times as much.”
An unexpected voice cut in from the side.
“I’d have to give three times as much to keep her.”
Reisch was delighted by this as well.
“A tremendous amount of gold and silver treasures will be in Lucrezia’s hands. I don’t mean to be rude, but is this possible for you?”
“Because she’s worth it.”
Glad that he made it clear, Lucrezia’s face soon became red.
“What do you think? Who will bring you more treasure, me or him?”
Lucrezia responded in a composed voice, but both of her hands were placed over her grinning face.
“Right now, Your Highness has enough gold to fill all your ships, but…”
Once she flattered him, she continued.
“For me, His Excellency the Duke of Pastore is a person who cannot be replaced by any treasure.”
Reisch laughed and shook his head as if to say, “Oh dear.”
“I see you’ve had a wonderful encounter. Then, I, the foolish rejected man, shall leave quietly.”
“Your Highness, since you’re here, why don’t you come to our house? I would like to thank you for delivering the items.”
Ramilio insisted, but Reisch laughed and said “No need.”
“No, it’s okay. Don’t worry about returning the favor, really. I miss my home country. I want to return home as soon as possible.”
Reisch then pulled himself up to his room.
Around twenty guards and attendants followed, and the terrace suddenly became deserted.
Lucrezia waited until they were out of sight, then pounced on Ramilio next to her.
“Whoa, what?”
Lucrezia looked into Ramilio’s face. He seemed to be surprised in a normal way.
“It’s unusual to see you so publicly attached to me like this.”
“That’s because…!”
Lucrezia put a lot of effort into her facial expression. It was important.
“I was so happy.”
When she hugged him tightly, Ramilio seemed taken aback but smiled at her.
“I’m glad you got your jewelry back.”
“That’s not the point!”
Lucrezia became impatient. Why couldn’t he understand?
“Ramilio-sama said he would buy me for nine times as much!”
“Well… no, that’s right, I did say it, but I didn’t think I could really get it out….”
She didn’t think she really wanted it either, but it was too much trouble to explain.
She wanted to indulge and share this happy feeling with Ramilio just a little longer.
Later, she received the news that the Crown Prince had departed from the port earlier that day.

Clenbutrol for Muscle Definition
A thorough approach to medication administration turns into important for guaranteeing the protected use of
steroids in elderly patients. Regular monitoring, open communication with healthcare suppliers, and a balanced approach
to therapy might help reduce dangers while maximizing the advantages of steroid remedy in older adults.
It’s important to note that not all sufferers
will experience all of these unwanted effects, and the severity can differ greatly between people.
The getting older brain unwanted facet effects of medications, including steroids, may be complicated and require cautious consideration.
It can sometimes take a few months after stopping your PED cycle earlier than your regular menstrual cycle resumes.
Some ladies will discover a quick restoration of regular cycles; this can depend
upon the person and which PEDs had been taken. Sustaining the use of milder PEDs like Anavar at low
doses and for brief cycle durations is normally adequate to permit you to keep away from clitoral enlargement.
In most bodybuilders who make the most of reasonable to excessive dosages of testosterone, blood pressure will rise, with the severity relying on the dose
and cycle period. There are a few reasons why testosterone
doesn’t negatively affect blood stress considerably.
Firstly, it converts to estrogen, with the feminine hormone having
a optimistic effect on blood lipids. Proviron does this by increasing
the metabolites of other steroids, such as Dianabol.
Others have instructed that anabolic steroid use may suppress the increases usually shown in myocardial capillary density following
prolonged endurance training (Tagarakis et al., 2000). Nevertheless, there are a variety of interpretational issues with this study.
In addition, the exercise stimulus employed (prolonged endurance training) isn’t the primary mode
of train regularly used by anabolic steroid users. This is recognized as concentric hypertrophy
and doesn’t happen on the expense of left ventricular diameter.
In general, cardiac hypertrophy (resulting from a stress overload, i.e.
hypertension) is probably not accompanied by a proportional increase
in capillary density (Tomanek, 1986). Subsequently, the potential for a reduction in coronary vasculature density exists for the
resistance- educated athlete. Nevertheless, it doesn’t
appear to pose a major cardiac threat for these athletes.
Nicely over a thousand completely different compounds have been synthesized and studied because the
1950s within the hope of manufacturing compounds that have an anabolic or androgenic impact superior to that of testosterone.
Biochemists quickly famous that additions or subtractions
to the testosterone molecule at particular places would have a considerably predictable impact on the inherent qualities of said
compound. Particularly, qualities together with (but not restricted to) anabolic/androgenic ratio, metabolism,
receptor affinity, and oral efficacy had been famous.
The primary medical use of those compounds is to deal with situations
such as asthma and different respiratory ailments. Some research have shown beta-2 agonists have performance-enhancing
effects when persistently excessive ranges are current within the blood.
However, the patient must take the first step in diagnosis and
remedy by admitting there is a potential Clenbutrol for Muscle Definition abuse and their
willingness to consider intervention and therapy.
It badly affects cholesterol, rising the bad kind and reducing the good type.
This change can result in atherosclerosis, the place arteries slender
and harden. Your doctor can help you identify if the benefits
of steroid shots outweigh the dangers.
Nonetheless, the usual Testosterone enanthate or similar size Test ester normally sees a 2-week clearing time following your last steroid shot.
SERMs are best taken when many of the steroid is out of your system;
in any other case, it won’t combat the robust suppression. You would
possibly use a bunch of compounds in this cycle, but one will usually
be the MAIN compound that takes on the first anabolic function throughout the cycle.
As Soon As you’ve injected, the ester starts to detach
from the hormone, and where it’s a lengthy ester, it could take per week or two before the consequences of the steroid kick in. It also takes longer to exit your
system once you stop injecting, and this impacts when you begin PCT.
So if you’re utilizing an injectable steroid with a half-life of roughly eight days and take a 400mg
dosage, at the 8-day mark (or thereabouts), there will be about 200mg of the
steroid circulating in your physique. By enhancing
the efficiency of how your physique uses vitamins from meals (mostly
carbs, proteins, and fats), each calorie you absorb is used to its full potential.
It will increase retention of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium,
resulting in increased protein anabolism and a lower within the catabolism of amino acids, leading to a rise in density and
hardness of muscle. The unwanted side effects of Equipoise can embrace hypertension and high cholesterol, however both ought to be easy to control.
If the person controls water retention, which should not be
onerous to do with this steroid, hypertension shouldn’t be a difficulty baring some underlying issue.
Then we’ve cholesterol, and whereas this is not an especially unfriendly steroid to ldl
cholesterol it might possibly have a unfavorable effect.
The unwanted effects of Equipoise revolving around ldl cholesterol
should be far less problematic than the majority of anabolic
steroids, but vital suppression of HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) is possible.
It isn’t completely identified why trenbolone causes extreme
coughing (more so than different injectable steroids); however, one concept suggests androgenic properties to be the primary offender.
Trenbolone customers might profit from eating a food plan rich in L-tryptophan to assist counteract excessive adrenaline
ranges. L-tryptophan is an amino acid that has sedative properties
(3), helping to calm the nervous system. Not only have we seen this subdue anxiousness and depression, but it
also helps bodybuilders go to sleep easier and improves their sleep quality on trenbolone.
AAS taken in the quick term could trigger some thinning or recession; however, we discover this usually reverses post-cycle when DHT
levels regulate back to regular.
