Adrian showed displeasure at the unexpected visit from Duke Heinrich.
“Duke, what’s the reason for this? Sometimes it seems like you’re acting without fear.”
“There’s nothing in particular.”
He furrowed his brow while adjusting his coat. He had asked him to speak if he had something to say, yet all he seemed to be doing was passing the time in his chair.
“Thanks to the Duke, the guy down there who was exuding a lot of its majesty has lost his momentum.”
“Then I’m sorry to hear that it’s lost its majesty.”
“….”
Adrian’s eyebrows twitched.
“Duke, if you’ve come to test my patience, you’ve chosen the right time, but if you continue, you might end up seeing my manhood getting sucked.”
“That might be a little awkward. I have no interest in a man’s manhood.”
“It sounds like you’re interested in women. Come to think of it, you didn’t seem much different from me when you had an affair with Emilia.”
Mikhail didn’t play along with Adrian’s vulgar talk anymore.
No matter how unruly he was, he never expected Adrian to bring another man’s wife to enjoy in broad daylight.
As expected, the second prince was not worthy of sitting on the throne. Even if he didn’t intervene, the nobles would soon rise up on their own.
‘It’s just a matter of time.’
He had already become the central figure in killing King Konrad and plotting a rebellion on Adrian’s behalf.
Thanks to that, he had become quite noticeable, and many people would be thinking of him as someone they shouldn’t be thinking about.
The radiant golden hair and the blazing red eyes reminiscent of the hot sun brought to mind someone—the last king of the Stein dynasty, Karsen von Bayern.
There must be a reason why Lady Luther is warning Adrian. Mikhail, on the other hand, found that aspect rather favorable.
Lady Luther would surely remember the events of that day. It wasn’t so long ago that it would remain in the memories of many people.
“Don’t wield your power too recklessly. Wouldn’t it complicate matters if the heir to the royal lineage is born from another man’s wife?”
“Well, don’t worry. I have a precious item that my mother acquired for me from a foreign country.”
Adrian chuckled as he pulled out a paper wrapped item from the drawer.
“Do you know what this is? It’s birth control pills. They say that if you take this, no matter how much seed you sow, you can’t reap anything. I could give you some if you need it.”
“I don’t need it.”
“How will you handle it if Emilia really ends up carrying your seed in her womb?”
“Wasn’t that what you were hoping for?”
“That will become a hindrance. Look at my father. He didn’t love my mother, but in the end, he died in vain because of me, his own blood.”
Adrian stood up with a face devoid of any trace of humor. He put the pills in Mikhail’s pocket and patted it lightly.
“Keep it. Regardless of what happens to that woman, it has nothing to do with the duke, right? If Mother has a bit of interest in her, she will disappear, so if you hate her that much, I can sow the seed for you instead.”
“A contract is a contract, isn’t it? You should focus on doing your job properly, Your Majesty.”
“My job?”
“You need to find legitimacy. That’s the only way to maintain the current throne, isn’t it?”
“….”
Mikhail checked his watch and stood up.
“I won’t mention any further. The importance of legitimacy is understood by anyone more than you do. Well then, I’ll take my leave.”
He didn’t forget to bid Adrian farewell.
Once on the carriage, Mikhail took out the birth control pills from his pocket and examined them. Initially intending to throw them out the window, he soon returned them to his pocket.
He quickly arrived at Marquisate Kerren and leisurely made his way towards the main hall. There was some anticipation building within him. He hoped not to be disappointed.
The usher caught sight of Mikhail and straightened up, but due to his restraining manner, he didn’t call out his name.
“I’d prefer to slip in quietly without being announced. It would be even better if there’s an entrance at the back.”
“There is another entrance at the back of the main hall.”
“Let’s go there.”
Mikhail turned his body and walked in the direction the usher indicated.
When he spoke the same words to the gatekeeper standing at the back door, the gate was cautiously opened. He naturally blended in through the crowd.
One thing he had overlooked was that even if he did so, he wasn’t an inconspicuous figure. He noticed that women were gathered around the side of the stage, and he instinctively knew Emilia was among them.
