Chapter: 622
With the fall of the Croychen family, the number of visitors to the duke’s mansion increased significantly.
The Croychen family, who was the emperor’s henchman, fell, and the Duke of Reston’s daughter became the empress and brought a young prince with her.
The emperor even appointed Fritz to be the Lord of the West and sent him down to the West territory.
The nobles competed to impress the duke.
Even the nobles, who had been hostile towards him, came to him and tried to look good in front of him, flattering him and offering gifts.
Everything is working perfectly like the cogs of a clock.
The old butler of the duke’s mansion was moved and wept every day that the duke had regained his prestige.
But the Duke of Reston knew that things were not as easy as they seemed.
‘It all depends on the emperor’s heart.’
This happy reality was possible because Kaizen was obsessed with Astelle now.
If Astelle loses the emperor’s love, the situation will go downhill again.
The duke wanted to get rid of the emperor before such a future came, but he needed time to seize the opportunity.
‘Astelle must hold onto the emperor’s heart until the perfect opportunity comes.’
However, ominous news was constantly heard from the empress’ palace.
Rumor has it that they use separate beds.
‘tsk tsk. It hasn’t been long since they got married.’
The emperor’s side did not miss this opportunity and worked together to bring a new woman to the emperor.
It is said that they had already found a suitable woman and sent her to the imperial palace.
One of the nobles involved in the plan rushed to tell him.
When the duke heard this, he left the mansion thinking that he could not stay still.
As he entered the prince’s playroom, he saw Theor and the Marquis of Carlenberg.
Theor was sitting and writing something on the table.
“This is how I write it.”
“You learned well.”
The marquis gently stroked Theor’s hair and stopped when he saw the duke entering the room.
