The Love Square [HIATUS]

Chapter 32 Pt. 2

I Then Looked At Sovieshu.

Hmmm....

[ Navier's POV ]

[ Y/N'S POV ]

'Is He Finally Truly Jealous Now?' I Thought.

[ Y/N'S POV ]

[ South Palace, Prince Heinry's Quarters ]

"What Do You Think?" I Asked Heinry. "Hmm, It Is Suspicious...He Won't Go Anywhere Unless He Has To Do Something Important." Heinry Replied, I Then Pouted. "It Clearly Has Been Four Days Already And Yet He Hasn't Arrived..." I Said, Heinry Then Sighed. "Who Knows When He'll Come Back?" I Then Laughed. "I'll Be Going Now, Bye Heinry!" I Then Left His Room, And Left The South Palace. & Ran Towards Navier's Chamber. Suddenly Out Of Nowhere Laura Was Also Rushing And Noticed Me. "Your Highness! Have You Heard?" I Then Looked At Laura With A Questioning Look. "About What, Laura?" She Then Panted. "It's About Dutchess Tuania!"

"What Happened?" I Asked.

"How About I'll Say It In Her Majesty's Room?" Laura Said.

I Then Nodded And Opened The Office Door. "Your Majesty! Have You Heard What Happened?!" Laura Shouted And Running Towards Navier. "It's Really Big News!" Eliza Then Scolded Laura. "Laura, I Told You Not To Run In Front Of Her Majesty As It Makes You Unladylike."What Could Be So Important That You Needed To Tell Me This Urgently?" Navier Asked. "It's About Dutchess Tuania, Duke Tuania....Told Her That He Wanted Divorce." My Eyes Then Widen. 'Is This Rashta's Doing? She Talked With Duke Tuania At The Masquerade Ball...' "Apparently People Heard Him Yelling About How He Was Suspicious That Their Son Was Actually His Brothers Heir, And That He Couldn't Help But Feel Suspicious Because Of How She Usually Acts. He Also Took Issue With How She Got Into A Fight With Another Woman Over Duke Ergi. He Said That There Must Have Been Something Going On Between Her And Duke Ergi, Or She Wouldn't Have Ended Up Getting Into An Altercation Over Him" Laura Said. 'Ergi Doesn't Have Any Affairs With Dutchess Tuania...' I Thought. "Somebody Apparently Once Asked Duke Tuania's Father If He Minded Whether His Grandson Might Actually Be Lord Marius Child. He Said That It Didn't Matter To Him Because The Child Would Still Be His Grandson Either Way."

"This All Does Seem Rather Strange"

"They Said That Dutchess Tuania Got Pregnant After Just One Night Of Passion Before She Married The Duke. But She Hasn't Been Able To Conceive Following Her Marriage. The Duke Can't Even Trust The Paternity Tests Conducted By The Temple, So I Understand Why He Might Feel Frustrated."

'The Temple's Paternity Tests Lost Credibility After An Incident In Which Two Twin Brothers Were Both Named As The Fathers Of A Baby 35 Year's Ago.' I Thought.

"Perhaps The Duke Is Actually Impotent But Didn't Pursue The Matter Because Of His Pride."

'But It's Been Ten Years Since All Of That Happened And It Was All Swept Under The Rug...Why Is He Filing For Divorce Now?'

"Could It..." Navier Muttered. "...Have Something To Do With Rashta?" Navier Questioned.

"Rashta?" The Countess Asked.

"How Did The Dutchess Replied, Laura?" Navier Asked Laura. "She Said She Would Never Agree To A Divorce. They Might Even End Up Going To Court Over It." Laura Replied. "Find Out Why The Suddenly Duke Wants A Divorce." Navier Ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eliza Answered.

If This Is Something That Rashta Planned...Then I Can't Just Let Her Get Away With It Like Before.

Because That Means....

...That Rashta Is Now Able To Manipulate High Society.

[ Four Days Later ]

I Was Leaning At The Balcony's Railings And Enjoying The View, Suddenly Laratte Barged In A Hurry. "What Is It, Laratte?" I Turned. "Your Highness, I've Got Some Terrible News!" She Yelled. "It's About Viscount Landre!" Laratte Panted. "HE STABBED RASHTA WITH A KNIFE!" Laratte Shouted.

And Thus Began Yet Another...

...Tumultuous Turn Of Events.

To Be Continued.
