Chapter 20-2

Duke Adelairas Mansion, family heads room.

Robbins was checking his schedule while sipping his tea.

As the head of a noble family, the duke had to balance relationships with other families and often met with the king and other members of the royal family.

Especially with Duke title, he would be in a position to lead the other nobles and compete with other dukes to expand his position within the palace.

In other words, he always had to move busily, whether he liked it or not, and naturally had to leave the tasks within the mansion to his wife and butler.

Now I can take a breath.

Are you tired? Its a little early, but how about you go to bed first?

Yenid asked worriedly as she organized the scattered papers on the table.

She knew better than anyone that Robbins worked harder than anyone else, and that he had to work harder for both the family and himself.

No. Maybe because Im getting old, I cant sleep deeply. Ill to go to bed later.

Are you sure its okay?

Isnt it okay until I give up my position as the duke? If I falter, the family will falter too.

Yenid swallowed her silence and didnt ask any further.

She didnt even know which of their four children Robbins was considering as the next heir.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Of course, she would like her own child to become the next heir, but since one of them was already in a precarious position, she could only hope for the remaining one.

Are you curious about who Im considering as the next heir?

Its not up to me, so I can only watch.

What could be difficult? Theres only one talented child among my children.

I hope that talented child is my own.

Hahaha Are you trying to be humble?

Of course, Yenid knew very well that her options were limited.

She was only worried that her son could not become the lord of the household due to an unexpected situation.

Yes How is Hanette these days?

Its a bit hard to say.

Did something bad happen?

Above all, he couldnt help feeling a little pleased since Sion had proven the fact right in front of him.

So, did you use the money I gave you for that?

Yes, Im sorry.

Its not a good thing to do, but Ill overlook it this time.

Fred could understand his feelings to some extent.

Although he and Lianne did not compare Sion with his other siblings, Sion may have felt pressure.

Their talents were outstanding, and Sion had not been able to accomplish anything.

Thats why he must have used all the money he received to awaken his magic.

I have one more thing to tell you.

Speak up.

Can you lend me some money?

Is it an urgent matter?

I borrowed money from my fiance

What? You borrowed money from your fiance?

Fred raised his voice as his eyes widened.

If he needed to borrow money, he could have asked his brothers or himself.

If it was related to money and he had been involved, Hanette, Duke Adelaira could become angry.

Im sorry. I couldnt stop her from lending it to me herself.

She lent it to you herself? What does that even mean?

There was something I wanted to win at the auction, but I didnt have enough money, so my fiance stepped in and helped me.

Fred was about to scold him, but he thought of something else first.

Hanette was always short of money because of her gambling and drinking habits, so she was unlikely to have any left.

In other words, unless it was a special case, there was no reason for her to lend him money.

If Hanette gave him the money, it means she thinks highly of Sion. Then

Does she have a positive view of their marriage?
