CH 252

The man in front of me is the Emperor, but should I punch him in the face? I can’t help but wonder.

However, I had to be patient. Beating up a guy like this will only put me at a disadvantage.

First, I need to calm down and examine the current situation with an open mind.

Princess Claude should have gotten stripped of her right to the throne due to her previous blunder. Now, she had become a woman and even had a seal of servitude on her neck.

Furthermore, Princess Claude has an elder brother with the right to inherit the throne.

There’s no way that the current Princess Claude will inherit the throne despite the presence of her brother.

Then why did His Majesty the Emperor speak and act in a way that conveyed the desire to live in seclusion as soon as possible a few minutes ago?

Even if Princess Claude and I were to get married, as I discussed earlier, it is unlikely that Princess Claude would become the Empress, and it does not mean that His Majesty the Emperor would be able to retire.

Then why does His Majesty the Emperor think that if we get married, he can retire?

“Ahh, I see.”

“Hmm, what is it, Kaisar?”

I see. That’s how it works.

“So His Royal Highness Prince Douglas, the Emperor’s eldest son and heir to the throne is finally getting married!”

“Yeah? But that hasn’t been…”

“I understand that you do not need to tell me everything. After all, we are still students, and there is no way you can explain such an important matter to us.”

“No, that’s not—”

“However, as it stands, Princess Claude is in a rather inadequate position, on the verge of falling from grace, so by marrying her off to me, she will become a member of a ducal family. By doing so, His Highness Douglas will not be troubled with his biggest problem of all, Princess Claude, and he will be able to engage in politics, isn’t that right? Even though Princess Claude’s b*****s are huge and her appearance beautiful, given that she was originally a man, she would be considered an insult if she were to get married off to another country as a diplomatic move. It would leave her susceptible to gold-diggers or even as a potential threat in a rebel group since she has the Emperor’s blood in her veins. In other words, a hundred harms and not a single gain. As a result, you don’t wish to have them in your family nor pass the throne to Douglas, the older brother, in such a state.”

This is where I’m gonna pause by making a determined face.

“Am I right, Your Majesty the Emperor!?”

Perfect.

Without a doubt, I now look like the protagonist of a detective manga.
