The Duke Wants To Have An Heir 소설 & 이야기

The Duke did as his back was still faced to them and he continued to look out of the window. The two brothers continued to look down in shame for they knew in their hearts that there was nothing but truth in the words that the Duke, their father had said. If it came down to it, none of them were truly competent enough to inherit the title of the Duke for they did not even for once do as much as to even consider the thought that perhaps the Duke set that prerequisite of who would be the heir to the title as a test trying to see who in the king run would have the best interest of the ducal estate and the ducal territory at large because if they wanted to be very sincere with themselves, they b

"You don't deserve a alliance with this girl of the people. His place is next to a pure-blooded noblewoman, someone who understands the traditions and importance of our royal family." "That's not a sufficient answer," I replied, challenging him. "There's something else behind your actions. Tell me the truth!" The duke took a deep breath and finally seemed to give in to the pressure. "Very well, Prince Alexander. Do you want the truth? I fear that her presence in your life may threaten what is rightfully mine. With you involved with this commoner, I will not be the heir to everything I have conquered." I was perplexed by your answer. The duke was my distant cousin and, as such, was the direct

“Next on the agenda. I killed Nicu when I found him on top of my sister. I’ve brought her back to Mintia with me but I’m worried about the King’s next move. He wants her because she has a dragon and you can all tell that I’m not lying.” “I was hoping it was you.” I looked at Andrei and a new understanding blossomed between us. “There is one thing you haven’t thought of as Duke.” Elder Marku grinned at me. “What’s that?” “His only living heir is giving birth to a child. A woman cannot ascend the throne but her royally titled husband can. Florin will have no choice in naming you the Prince of Dragons and naming you as his heir because one day his grandchild will sit on that throne.”

"I see everyone has gathered!" The Duke waltzed in with the duchess at his side. This was actually the first time I'd heard him speak. He sounded drunk. "Thank you all for coming all the way here! And it wasn't for nothing, it's to announce the next heir to the kingdom early! Leviathan, Nyx, bring Remus over here!" Ah. So that was the card they were waiting to slam on the table. I moved immediately, Remus secure in my arms, Levi close behind me. The crowd parted, some reluctantly, some too eagerly. Predators pretending to be witnesses.

asked the duke "That is a good question, Duke Henry. Me and my men have been planning for this event ever since the death of my parents. So, I assure you... The fool sitting on my throne... I will have him tortured after which I will behead him. The same way he killed my parents." "What do you wish for us to do while you get rid of him?" asked the duke "Remain silent. And if I am caught... I want you to kill him for me." "Do you not wish for us to save you?" asked Alexis

Duke Cale spoke again and the Grand Duke's mood worsened. "Don't tell me you are going to ask about the mine right after your daughter's wedding? Without even offering a congratulations?" Arthur said while laughing. It was obvious to the people around especially Charles that the Grand Duke was taunting the father of his wife. Beatrice felt her insides turn with the tension she was feeling, sitting beside the Grand Duke who kept on releasing his killing intent to his father was too much a pressure to her. Arthur side-eyed his wife and calmed down. "Charles here will be setting an appropriate date and time for us to talk regarding this matter"

But in the future, Duke Andrew promised he would not repeat the same mistake again. If his granddaughter really doesn't like the crown prince, then don't let their engagement continue. Even if Ariana hadn't volunteered to become a swordsman like her predecessors, Duke Andrew was sure he could find another way to allow his granddaughter to safely inherit the title of duchess. Whatever made Ariana happy, Duke Andrew promised he would work on it as long as he could grant Ariana's wish. “James.” “I am here, Your Grace.”

“Duke said that you two are already expecting a child. You need to be healthy so you can bear his heir sooner.” “H-He said that?” I asked in a low voice before I looked down at my hands. Chairman Myers raised his eyebrow at me before his eyes went darker. I looked down again, in fear that he might catch me. Why did Duke lie that we’re already expecting a baby? Nothing ever happened to us yet, not totally though. But I guess I need to tag along. I’m sure Duke won’t say that thing for no reason. “I had judged you harshly. Funny, isn’t it?” My eyes averted in Chairman Myers’ direction and I saw him looking out of the window.

Elizabeth bowed her head submissively, "Yes father." "Good girl," the Viscount went on, "I need that Scottish duchy. With it, we all can move higher, you understand. If you become the duchess of Anfield, exercise that power, even on the Duke himself. If done well, you as well will rule." She watched him attentively all along, a small smile on. Her father sipped his tea for the eight time, snarling greedily, "Grasp the Duke like he is gold. As a matter of fact, he is."

The Council of Elders consisted of the emperor’s highest advisors, each wielding immense power and these two were among its most influential members. Marquess Maxxwell was famous for having sired twins centuries ago, a nearly miraculous occurrence among shifters. Duchess Catherine was even more infamous for her boldness. She had pursued relationships with various shifters purely for the purpose of producing a strong heir, even announcing an open mating arrangement: whoever impregnated her would become duke of her territory. “Well, it looks like you two finally have an heir. Good thing you survived that day, or you would’ve missed this moment,” Duchess Catherine said, her voice serene despite
