Novel & Cerita The Duke Wants To Have An Heir

The Duke asked himself while waiting for his wife's return. Meanwhile, his two children had returned from school purposely for the installation. They were not happy that Cecilia was still tethered in their house and their father was aware of it. “Don't let her presence bother you. After the installation ceremony we will move into the new palace and leave her here with the livestock,” he explained to them. His seventeen-year-old son, Stanley, refuted it, “No, Dad. After the installation, you should behave like a Duke.” His utterances hit his father like a tornado, and before he could digest it, his fifteen-year-old son, Leo, added, “Big brother is right. The late Duke was a nobleman. He does

The child hasn’t been born yet, giving birth at such an age is dangerous, it’s not guaranteed he will be born at all, what if it’s a girl, and even if a boy, will he reach the age when he can rule? Everybody was buzzing, bustling, and assuring me they would be happy with me as the king. Not so fast... I was in no hurry to disappoint the supplicants, though. There was plenty of time. Instead... “What does Duke Chartreuse want to say to me?” Abigail’s father was here as well, looking as if he had just chewed on a lemon. He and his daughter were too late. If only they had more time.... “Your Highness, we rely on your honor.”

She looked at him with her curious big eyes and observed him closely. “I think I understand now how the young duchess has become the heir of the Maximillan duchy and also a well-respected member of the politics,” Alexander said. His stare suddenly turned dark as he looked deep into her ruby eyes. “But a mad man has nothing to fear. The quicker the young duchess knows this, the better. Don’t you think so, Young Duchess of Maximillan?” “Does the duke think that I am trying to go against the duke?” she asked.

“You’re a noble wolf, not some lust-stricken beast. Do you understand? Don’t react like that to a woman we’ve just met.” I couldn’t completely control him, and it didn’t help that he had such an influence over my instincts. “Sorry!” Duke replied earnestly, doing what he could to suppress our desires. “But she smells incredible.” "...to my youngest daughter. I would like to formally introduce her to you and announce as the Lycan King that she will be the heir to my throne," the Lycan King continued. His tone was unbelievably calm considering what he had just told us. A marked three seconds of silence was all it took for the information to finally settle into the crowd. Then, the hall erupted

"What truth? What do you mean by ‘older?’" The Duke’s expression darkened, his eyes locking onto hers with a look that made her stomach churn. "There’s a legacy, Victoria. A legacy that stretches back long before either of us were born. Your family—your blood—has been tied to this legacy for centuries. And now, it’s your turn to play your part." Victoria blinked, trying to make sense of his words. "My family? I don’t understand. What does my family have to do with this?" The Duke stepped forward, his voice lowering to a whisper. "Everything. Your bloodline holds the key to unlocking the power we’ve all been fighting for. And that power will change everything—everything we know."

“Darling, stop this madness! I already found you a notable suitor who will make you become the most powerful duchess in the country.” “Spare me that, mom. The Duke isn't someone we can get our hands on, despite how wealthy we are! I just found out about him, he is never interested in a woman. Some even suspect that he's gay. Do you think such a man will be attracted to me? We need to get rid of her pregnancy, mom. Getting pregnant before marriage is wrong, and you know that!” “Okay, okay, if that will make you happy, I'll do just that.”

he said carefully “They’d been dating for two years. He didn’t choose her, chose her stepsister instead” I closed my eyes yes briefly, so that was it. Rejection. Humiliation. And betrayal. No wonder she’d unraveled at the bar. “And the family?” I asked. Alex didn’t hesitate. “Unpleasant. Step mother controls most household decisions, father’s present but does nothing” The usual. “There’s something else” Alex hesitated, then continued “The council called before dawn” I leaned back against the desk “And?” “The succession didn’t take place” Alex continued “without you present, it was impossible to continue”

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.
