[Special Report! Duke Heinrich’s Extraordinary Affection for His Wife]
Duke Heinrich, who had not revealed himself at social gatherings, attended the party at the Kerren estate and revealed the intimate relationship between the couple.
Due to the Madam who was unwell and needed a place to rest, he sought permission from Marchioness Kerren, the host, and borrowed the dressing room for a few hours.
… People speculated that the two were forced into marriage by the king’s command, but only they would know the truth about the rumors due to this incident.
One week later.
The Duke admirably kept to the promised date.
Although he knew that his shadows had reported the fact that the two had entered the lounge and had not come out for a while, he didn’t expect everyone’s attention to be so focused that a special report would come out.
Blonde hair and red eyes.
It seemed that everyone vaguely remembered the characteristics of the former royal family because of their long-standing loyalty to the royal family and the charisma inherent in the royal bloodline.
Adrian recalled the soft flesh he had grasped on the thigh and the strength that didn’t back down even when faced with his gaze.
The green eyes that seemed like they could cut one’s throat at any moment were still imprinted in his mind.
Tap–
Adrian placed the newspaper on the table, feeling uneasy. For some reason, they seemed to get along well.
“Your Majesty, why are you in a bad mood?”
“There’s no way I’d be in a good mood after this issue created a buzz this morning.”
“If the two get along well, isn’t it just as the royal family wished?”
“It’s Mother’s joy, indeed. But the sun has risen, and you haven’t left yet.”
Adrian spoke towards the Madam who only covered her chest with a blanket.
“We should inform the Baron of the good news, shouldn’t we? He must be waiting.”
“Well, yes. But I want to stay a little longer with Your Majesty…”
“Viviana, seems like you hadn’t heard it from the others.”
Adrian lost interest and then looked at her uncovered body.
Adrian von Konrad. He was a libertine in the Bartsch Kingdom.
He loved women. Even before becoming king, he had shared his bed with many, indulging in women every night.
Everyone expected that the chicks would soon come home to roost, but so far, no one had claimed to have Adrian’s child.
Naturally, he confidently used contraceptives, wanting to avoid becoming like his mother.
Despite his great love for women, he paradoxically couldn’t settle down with any woman. After showing interest or intertwining bodies once, the body that had quickly heated up cooled just as fast.
Even his bad habit of coveting what belonged to others had emerged.
“I’m jealous.”
Adrian mumbled as he looked at the newspaper. The Duke had fulfilled his duty, but he didn’t know he would perform it so well.
Seemingly oblivious to others’ eyes, he boldly carried out his work at someone else’s house.
I have a good idea.
He had given contraceptives to the Duke, but it didn’t seem like he used them. But what about Emilia?
He couldn’t imagine her using them even if she couldn’t find any. Adrian felt good again, imagining stroking her red hair while sipping tea.
“The rose of the Loren estate.”
If he could obtain that, and if the Duke indeed harbored even the slightest affection for her, what expression would he have at that moment?
There should be no one standing above him. Why, then, did Duke Heinrich feel like someone that was above his head? Nobility should be exclusive to the royal family, shouldn’t it?
Adrian was gradually becoming annoyed by Mikhail’s presence. Perhaps there was some decisive reason his mother was restraining him, something Adrian didn’t know.
“Your Majesty, Lady Luther requests an audience.”
“Seems like she’s in a bad mood because I hadn’t given her my morning greetings yet.”
He opened the door in a robe. Lady Luther entered the room, unfazed.
“How shameless.”
“Isn’t it something you’re not unaware of? What is happening this morning again?”
“Don’t act like a beggar. Do you think asking for medicine is an easy task?”
Lady Luther’s eyes became fierce.
It was an extremely unpleasant look. But what could be done?
Look at yourself. On top of possessing black hair, you are without a drop of royal blood.
“Even if Mother wishes to become a part of the royal family, that’s as far as it goes. I might have inherited my deceased father’s blood, but Mother has nothing, right?”
Don’t bother. It’s unsightly.
Smack!
With a friction sound, Adrian’s head turned. He smirked while glancing at his mother.
“Whom does that vulgar way of speaking resemble? The Council’s movements seem peculiar. Behave properly.”
“No one can carry my child, so there’s no need to worry.”
“I’m looking for your partner, so refrain from having anyone in the bedroom for a while. If I hear that someone has been brought into the bedroom, I’ll have to take measures too.”
“I doubt there’ll be anyone willing to be my partner in this kingdom. Please, try hard to find one. I’m looking forward to it.”
At Adrian’s words, Lady Luther scowled and stood up.
“Do something about that appearance. Duke Heinrich is attending too, it seems.”
Duke Heinrich.
At that mention, Adrian’s mouth curled upward.
