Chapter 91

One’s Blood (3)

Matthias felt anger towards his father. He couldn’t stand it that he had called Theo and talked about their schemes!

He had expected that the timid Theo would not understand it, but he didn’t know that even his father would be afraid of the girl. Even if she had the backing of the crown prince, she was just a stupid girl who shed tears when he slapped her.

Theo found out, so he had to hurry up.

Paul cherished Matthias, but the love did not last indefinitely. He let Paul down a lot by making minor mistakes in his adult life.

It was just bad luck for Matthias, but Paul seemed to see it differently. Matthias became anxious that Paul might weigh him and Theo each time.

Even though he was the eldest son!

The eldest son was entitled to special treatment. Although it would be the eldest son who leads the family, it was natural that he could not meet Paul’s expectations because his surroundings could not support it.

It was just this time.

If Rowena had confessed to the crown prince, praising Matthias and making room for success for him, he would not have done this.

It’s all the stupid girl who brought it on herself.

Originally, this was intended to take place when Rowena and the Crown Prince’s celebration ball ended and Rowena was somewhat off guard. But things had changed.

Paul would not keep Theo locked up in a warehouse room. Someday he would leave the room, and it was clear that the coward Theo would visit Rowena right away and reveal his scheme.

I can’t leave it like that!

He had to hurry up with his plan. He had to work at the celebratory ball the next day as soon as possible because he would lose his power before he could even hold it.

It would be a terrible nightmare moment for Rowena, but it was also necessary for Matthias.

The count’s carriage stopped in front of the building with the social club. Matthias got out of the carriage and trimmed his clothes.

In the past, he was simply the heir to the count, but now he could be said to be the brother-in-law of the crown prince. That’s all, Matthias thought he was no less than a member of the imperial family.

No one stopped Mathias, who went inside proudly. This social club was divided into a place where classified aristocrats and young nobles mingled.

If it were before, he would have headed to the place where young nobles gathered, but now it was different.

The club manager remembered Matthias’ face. He led Mathias secretly into the inner room of the Blue Blood Club.

It was said that the Blue Blood Club was not open to anyone less than a count.

The only time they could visit this club was when they were hired by a person of rank and became a secretary or attendant. Guardsmen were also not allowed to enter the club.

“Are you here?”

But Kernan was able to join the club. It was for this reason that Matthias was also interested in him.

Kernan Lambert.

Kernan greeted Matthias with a servile smile. If it was Theo, he would have felt repulsed by the smile, but Matthias liked it.

“I apologize for not being able to meet you in advance.”

Although there was a difference in title, it was not an absolute position like the Duke or the Imperial family, but Kernan had been like this to Matthias since they first met.

“It’s okay. I’m the one that called you in a hurry, so I’ll have to bear that much disrespect.”

He can be rude.

Kernan looked Matthias in the face, swallowing laughter.

Matthias sat across the room on a well-made sofa with armrests. It was a chair placed for the owner of the room at a glance.

“Do you have anything to order?”

Kernan did not ask Matthias why he had called him. It seemed natural for him to call at any time.

But Matthias looked at Kernan with an urgent expression on his face, not with his usual grin.

“I think we need to hurry up, Kernan.”

Looking at Matthias’ expression, he suspected that Paul Adelia was trying to pull out. But what Matthias said was something else.

Theo Adelia.

Well, anyone in their right mind wouldn’t approve of this plan.

Even if the relationship was estranged now, blood was blood. They may not know if they were committing an irreversible crime, but they still cared about the youngest, so there were many ways to restore the relationship.

Still, he was a man who accepted this method as a plan.

“I locked Theo in my house right now, but if he goes to the palace and makes a statement, it would be impossible to work.”
