Chapter: 849

If the Emperor dies suddenly, the capital will be in chaos for a while, so he seems to have decided to secure some money.

‘It’s useless.’

The Duke of Reston intended to have a new marriage and a child who would be his heir once the emperor’s affairs were sorted out.

If he only has a new son, all he has to do is get rid of the useless Fritz.

He remembered the two sisters he had seen at the dinner table.

There are not many women in the capital who can become the duke’s bride, as the prestigious nobles are almost disappeared.

The Croychens had long been enemies of the Duke, but their daughters are both beautiful and attractive.

The Duke of Reston had his eye on Marianne and Florin before.

He had no interest in the first daughter, whom he didn’t even know existed. On the contrary, the Duke of Reston liked Florin, who was calm and quiet.

But he was worried if she could have children because she was too young. They obviously said she was weak, too.

Judging from the age factor, the first one seemed to be better.

“What’s going on?”

After receiving the butler’s report and returning to the dinner table, Marquis Croychen asked with concern.

“The Empress is calling me.”

“Oh my God, if something were to happen in the palace–”

“What will happen? It’s probably because she’s anxious that the Emperor’s illness is getting longer.”

The Marquis shut his mouth.

The Emperor who went to the Empress Palace suddenly fell ill. The Empress was officially ruling the capital since then. And suddenly, in the middle of the night, she called her father to the palace to discuss the emperor’s illness.

The Marquis once again confirmed that the emperor’s illness was the work of the Duke and Empress.

“That’s right. Then, since you’re busy, we’ll leave for now.”

“Yeah, let’s discuss this further later.”

He smiled at Marianne and Florin.

Both sisters avoided his gaze with cold, hardened faces.

It was late at night in the Empress Palace.
