Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 658

Lydia waited, watching her phone, but there was still no reply from Iceblade. She sent another message. [Are you at Capital Med School now?]

Still nothing.

A frown creased Lydia’s forehead. What was Iceblade trying to say? Was he really here in this country? Or had the whole Blood Oath group shown up? Were they starting another mission to take out Connor? Why hadn’t she heard anything? Connor hadn’t said a word about it either.

Before she knew it, the first day of school had arrived. Parents and students everywhere were busy, rushing to get ready.

Early that morning, Kylie and Cameron had packed up what felt like endless luggage to take Lydia and Lucinda to their universities. There were so many bags, the trunk couldn’t even close.

Lydia looked at the pile and sighed. “Mom, just leave the daily necessities. The rest can stay here.”

Kylie hesitated, looking torn. “But honey, these are all essentials. Only two suitcases are snacks. And one is gifts for your roommates. It’s the start of the semester, you need to make a good impression. You should give everyone a little something.”

Lydia didn’t even know what to say.

Cameron tried to help. “Lydia, it looks like a lot, but once you get there, set up your bed, and put your stuff away, it won’t feel like much.”

In the end, they just didn’t want their precious daughter to go without, not even for a day.

Lydia was firm. “Just two suitcases of necessities. I don’t need anything else.”

“What? That’s not enough,” Kylie objected right away.

“Girls need to be prepared. You can’t come home every day. Two suitcases just won’t cut it.”

Lucinda rolled her eyes at Lydia when no one was looking.

Two suitcases? Seriously? Did Lydia think they still lived in the countryside? She was probably trying to drag Lucinda down with her, making her bring less too. No way. Even with everything she had, Lucinda still thought she was packing light.

Lydia just said, “Everyone has their own way of living.”

Her parents had packed two suitcases of necessities for her, and she had packed one herself. Three suitcases total—more than enough.

Lucinda was fuming inside. Lydia had to make herself stand out, which only made Lucinda look like the extravagant one.

But she didn’t say anything. She wasn’t about to give up her own comfort just to prove a point.

When the servants loaded up the car, they all sang Lydia’s praises.

“Lydia’s so down-to-earth and sensible.”

“Yeah, if you bring too much stuff, people will stare. Lydia just doesn’t want to draw attention.”
