New World with Four Husbands-Chapter 146: Learning new things [4]

"I.. I mean.. Yes..? There is a way, but— are you sure? Baroness Hughes and Baron Hughes would be upset if you wish to change your name." Kairo stammered out, a look of incredulousness in his face.

"I was asking if there’s a way." Coco said, her voice calm and dripping with slight amusement, "I didn’t ask what would be their reaction if I try to change my name."

Kairo immediately shut his mouth and frowned, his purple eyes swirling with so many questions and Coco could see the disbelief that seemed to overpower the emotions he was feeling at the moment.

"So? Is there a way for me to change my name?" Coco asked once more, tilting her head and smiling at him.

".. Yes." Kairo answered truthfully with him forcing the words out of his throat, "However, since you’re a noblewoman, it would be hard for you to change your name."

"Oh." Coco blinked and slowly nodded her head, "But I’m not a noblewoman anymore."

"No." Kairo disagreed firmly and shook his head, "You are a noblewoman, the only heiress to Hugh Barony with wealth that is equal to Viscountess Charmin’s wealth." Kairo stated, his tone flat and monotone, showing Coco that he was serious.

"You say that, but.." Coco hummed and trailed off as she looked away, "My parents already disowned me two years ago. Are you not aware?"

Kairo’s eyes widened slightly and his shoulders grew tense almost immediately, his hands balling into fists on his lap.

"Pardon..?"

"I don’t know if you did a background check on me, but you should have known by now that I was the worst person you could ever meet last month.. And.. Well, I had an epiphany and decided to change." Coco informed him as she skimmed through the details.

"Go and do a background check on me so you won’t be as shocked as you are right now." Coco suggested with a dismissive shrug.

"But.. That doesn’t make sense." Kairo frowned at her, "Baroness Hughes told me to keep an eye out on you. It’s the only reason why I was hired and serving under Young Master right now."

Coco blinked owlishly.

Coco Hughes’ mother told Kairo to keep an eye on her? What? For what reason?

From what Coco remembered from Coco Hughes’ memory, she disowned Coco because she was abusive and turned ’dumb’ after getting married to the four mediators— she thought that since the only their only child was acting like a ruffian, she may as well remove her from the family tree.

However, despite ’receiving’ Coco Hughes’ memory, all she could remember was how bad she treated everyone and how bad she was treated.

She doesn’t have any memory that she could call good or memorable, only bad ones.

Apparently, one of the memories were Coco’s mother disowning and looking at her with disdain before spouting the words that made Coco’s behavior worse.

"Whatever the case, I was disowned." Coco said, her voice firm and stern as she narrowed her gaze towards him, "She didn’t like how I was before and I’m sure she just told you to keep an eye on me because she wanted to know if I’m still the same trash or not."

Kairo’s frown deepened, "Please don’t say that you’re a trash. You’re not one. I wouldn’t have ask you to marry me if you were a trash."

"Well, I am one." Coco huffed out with a shake of her head, "Anyway, let’s drop the topic and answer my question."

Kairo’s eyebrows was furrowed, his lips pressed into a thin line, as if he was barely holding back his emotions, his hands clenched into fists, knuckles white with tension.

It was clear for Coco that wha Coco had just said did not sit well with him and he was struggling to contain his frustration, but is there anything he could do? He’s only an outsider, he doesn’t have the rights.

He can’t change what the mother and daughter had discussed, whether he likes the outcome or not.

".. Changing one’s name can happen in the main city because the noble registry office will be in charge of changing your name because you’re a noblewoman." Kairo still informed Coco of what to do even though it was against his wishes. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"If you were a noble with a higher status, you would have to go through Earl Hilandro, Young master’s father, and reason with him why you wanted to change name." He quickly added to his previous statements.

Coco nodded her head along as he fill her head with important informations, letting him know that she’s listening.

"The royal family must have been generous for letting their subjects change their names." Coco commented, her eyes shifting from Kairo’s clenched fists to his face.

Kairo’s frown twisted into another expression, "The King doesn’t mind, but the Queen wanted to the system to be balance and had the law change. Instead of appealing the person in charge with money, the person who wanted to change their name need to have a valid reason."

"With documents?" Coco raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, with documents that held facts about the person." Kairo agreed.

"Goodness.. I don’t even know if I have my birth certificate with me— wait, is that even a thing?" Coco blinked and stared at Kairo.

"Yes?" Kairo mumbled, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion as he stared back at Coco.

"Oh.." Coco didn’t expect that there would be birth certificates because the world she transmigated in has magic, was it wrong of her to get excited to think that she could have seen something else other than a certificate?

"Why do you sound disappointed?" Kairo tilted his head, narrowing his eyes at Coco.

"Just because." Coco replied and shrugged, "I have another question. Renaldo told me about the hunters needing to get a license, would it cost me a lot of money if I register as one?"

".. Pardon?" Kairo was taken aback.

Just what happened to the Coco Hughes he knew four years ago?
