Chapter: 730

“Why not? Well, I don’t care what happened before we got married.”

He was surprisingly generous.

If it was her father she knew, the Duchess should have had a flawless past without blemish.

She thought he had such a mindset.

Astelle remembered that Count Ecklen had been unfairly expelled when he was young.

‘It’s like something my father could do.’

Well, I’m not sure.

Her father was very sensitive when he heard the name of Count Ecklen before.

“Anyway, I wanted to meet you.”

Astelle put down the teacup.

She looked straight at her father and brought up the main point.

“Please drive out those who are hostile to our family among the emperor’s ministers.”

“The ministers?”

The Duke asked back in surprise.

Astelle said coldly, “We can’t just defend ourselves forever. If they keep targeting our family, we must retaliate.”

“Will the emperor stay still?”

“Even if His Majesty is aiming for you, we can take the initiative and get rid of those who are on the Emperor’s side.”

“Get rid of them you say?”

“They used poison and gunpowder first, and there’s no law that says we shouldn’t do the same.”

It means to get rid of it by any means, whether using poison or whatever.

The Duke of Reston soon realized that Astelle looked a lot like him.

Her light green eyes and platinum blonde also resemble his, but in particular, her personality was clearly inherited from him.

The Duke was fond of his wife, Jacqueline, Astelle’s mother.

But getting her was a pretty tough process.
