Is A Duke Higher Than A Prince の小説・ストーリー

Alice greeted as she dropped the cat she had adopted recently. Of course her grandmother was against her adopting the cat but she paid no heed to her words. When she brought the cat in, she was warned by her grandmother to always keep the cat out of her sights. The duchess took a seat sighing, from the looks on her face, you could tell that she s tired and worn out. “Thank you, Alice.” The duchess uttered as the maid offered her a tea. “It has been decided that the princes will have a peek of your biography which I had provided the queen with today and one of them will be given the chance to marry you.”The duchess explained and Alice felt the bile in her stomach rising.

Darius replied smoothly. “You know very well that that isn’t what I am talking about. Why must you try to promote Leonard over yourself? The prince that produces an Ultimate Alpha heir first will be the one to take over the throne as the next king. So, why are you always trying to give your biggest opponent opportunities to make a head start?” the duchess asked as her anger clearly showed on her facial features. “I don’t want to become king. It’s as simple as that,” Darius stated clearly.

They just strengthened her resolve and survival instinct. ‘I love you, habibi,’ she said, voice thick with emotion. ‘We love you too, love. So very fucking much.’ “What is your rank?” she asked him. “Imperial Duke,” he stated proudly. I was trying to remember how a monarchy worked. Thankfully, my lovely mate laid it out for me. Dukes were above Marquess but below Archduke. Their station was higher up, which explained why his aura had been so strong. She asked him how he became named Imperial Duke. His answer left her fighting for control of herself so that she would not just end him.

I winked at her. She unfolded her fan to hide her smile. "Thank you, Dominixe." "His Graces... Duke Leveaux of the North, Duke Ivanova of the East, Duke Navarette of the South, and Duke Eveque of the West... have arrived!" All of us had turned to the door from the announcement of the royal guard. I straightened my back since they had announced the arrival of the four households that had been granted dukedoms and second to the most powerful people aside from the royal lycan family, which people called them as...

It scared her. If the Duke decided to offend Marquis Adamantine, even he won't come out unccathed. He was the only Grand Duke of the Kingdom and the man that was next to him in terms of power was Marquis Adamantine. Since the Duke was so detached from the other nobles, the marquis rallied them under his banner, building a force so powerful that even the king was intimidated. The force of the Grand Duke and the Marquis kept the Royals in check.

Duchess Melany wriggles her body in protest while the Knights tightly grip her hands, stopping her movements. "Your Highness, how could you do this to us? We're the Duke and Duchess of the Kingdom! Have you forgotten about it?!" Her voice rises at the top of her head as she tries to limit her choice of words. After all, she couldn't bring herself to insult the Prince because it would be another offense to the royal family.

"Well, yes. That's for a human's perspective. But for us-a noble or a mythical creature as what human history says-it's natural. We can live for millennia and tens and hundreds of it, not aging. We can even enter eternal slumber if we want to. "But that's not always the case. Sometimes, one can enter a force eternal sleep if they committed a crime that is too grave beyond comprehension and the risk being known to the world is high or they took offense to the humankind that we're supposed to take care." -Cassielle Elise D. Dairen, the daughter of the duke, Clyde Estreno D. Dairen. The unknown duchess.

“It was an honor to be visited by this empire’s crown prince.” “Please don’t just see me as a crown prince.” The prince smiled. “I came here to be your friend so just call me Ric.” “How could I dare to…?” Sera asked him with wide eyes. A maid arrived and served the crown prince with his meal. He took a bite of the steak before he looked at her and smirked. “Why not? You are the sole daughter of the highest ranking duke in the empire. You are the fourth highest ranking lady after the empress, the princess and the duchess,” Ric said proudly as he smiled.

"Your Highness, we are aware of your power and abilities. You are definitely strong and powerful –" "Please get to the point Duke." The prince cut him off, causing the Duke to sigh and then looked at him with all seriousness. "We wanted you to sire an heir, Your Highness." The Duke said and everyone, except Alex's men, looked at the prince with a severe and almost pleading gazes. "You are the only true royalty left. And now you're going off to war… if something happens to you –" "Nothing will happen to me." Alex said. The curiosity and interest in his eyes were gone. He was obviously disappointed that this was the crucial problem the Duke was talking about.

He knew that if his true personality came to the fore, he would be compared to the Duke Mountravven he hated. “How can our family rise in rank and defeat Duke Mountravven if you can't be of any use! Look at Fuschia, even though she's a woman, at least she's useful! Do you know how much dowry Mountravven received from the royal family?! Damn it! Useless girl! I can't even let you die!” Laura always thought that her father is shameless to the bone. How could a Count surpass a Duke? In terms of peerage, wealth, and family history, he was very far from the Duke.
