Chapter 806 The successor is my child

Chapter 806 The successor is my child

Even though I had made it very clear for him, it didn't seem like Henry was willing to accept it.

He was still throwing a fuss about how he should get away with whatever he wanted since this was his land, but no one paid any attention to him.

It had reached the point where even Lily realized that there was no other way.

No matter how much she loved her son and wanted to protect him, she knew that the list of crimes that he had committed were very serious. These were things that went beyond what normal nobles might lose their titles for.

Not to mention...just a few days ago, the capital had held the biggest trial in the kingdom.

Many nobles had been executed because of their corruption and the country was now cracking down on corrupt nobles.

The things that her son had done was more than enough for their entire family to be convicted of corruption.

Not to mention, she had heard what her husband had said before.

Her reasoning might have been biased, but it was still there.

She realized that this situation might really be bad if they didn't make a choice now...

In the end, the count couldn't take it anymore and said, "Shut your mouth now or I'll shut it for you."

The moment that Henry heard this, he had a completely shocked look on his face.

That was because this was the first time that his father had ever talked to him like this.

In his entire life, no matter what he did, his father had never raised his voice like this.

So when he heard it for the first time, there was a chill that ran down his spine before an aggrieved feeling filled him. His face twisted like he was about to cry, just like a spoiled child being scolded for the first time.

But he could hear how serious the count was, so he fell silent.

I was showing him the consequences of his actions.

I wanted to make sure that Henry knew what would happen to him if he continued acting the way that he was acting.

I wanted to make sure that he would accept this punishment and not do anything in the future.

But of course, I would also make sure to have someone watch over the count's family in the future.

I wouldn't let them be a danger to us.

Once Henry's lackeys had been executed, there was nothing that Henry could say.

He just looked at the heads in front of him with a look like he had lost everything.

The count had a heavy look on his face as well, but he knew that there was nothing that he could say at this point.

It was a matter of his son or his family and he knew what choice he had to make.

So he turned to Rose and for a moment, there was a look of difficulty on his face.

But he was able to push through before saying, "I want you to inherit my title when the time comes."

I was once again surprised by his determination in this matter, but this was also what I wanted to see.

This was the recognition that Rose should have deserved, if not for the fact that her father had been scared of her.

But to both of our surprise, Rose just shook her head and said, "No, I won't be the successor."

The count had an ugly look on his face when he heard this while I wanted to say something to remedy this situation, but Rose seemed to have other plans.

"I want my child to be the successor."
