The Duke Wants To Have An Heir 소설 & 이야기

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.

He was obviously smiling to his sister. Lily finally lifts her head up from my stomach and when she sees Hunter, she runs up to him as if it had been ages since she had seen him last. Hunter picks her up and she beams at him before starting a rant that made me feel like crawling into the ground. "Hunter! Can you believe Daisy likes Tiana? She also likes animals, she even has a dog just like my dog Duchess. Oh, oh, oh, how could I forget? She likes children too! When you get married and give birth to 5 kids, I'm gonna be the godmother to all of them......." She pauses and I exhale in relief thinking that she had stopped only for me to inhale back the air I let out when she resumes talking.

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"

When the Duke remained lost in thought, he continued, “Sir Lucas was a very shrewd businessman, Your Grace.” “So it would appear. So each of these girls is an heiress in her own right?” This time, Mr. Bailey nodded decisively.

"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.

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
