Regrets Of A Second Male Lead

Chapter Fifty Six: The Beginning Of Their Feelings (7)

"You, gloomy b*st*rd. You think you can spy on people from the terrace?"

Owen, who discovered something to tease his friend about, said without even attempting to conceal his excitement.

"Who is spying on whom?"

Gerard responded grumpily.

"What do you mean? You're staring at my sister-in-law."

It was true. Gerard, who couldn't come up with anything to argue against his friend, turned away from the banquet hall. His movements showed several signs of regret.

"What?"

Owen chuckled as he moved closer to his friend. He thought Gerard would deny it straight away.

'Hah, he's not even denying it.'

"...Why is an Anata Knight still in the Capital?"

Gerard relaxed as soon as the terrace door was closed. He asked Owen about what he had been wondering about the entire ceremony.

"You mean the person beside my sister-in-law?"

Owen knew what was going on, but despite that he asked again.

"..."

Gerard didn't even bother to answer him, but it was a yes.

"Why do you ask? Archduke Anata left his most precious knight to prove his innocence."

As soon as Owen ascended the throne, he launched a massive subjugation against rebels. In the process, it was revealed that the rebels had an extreme obsession with pure blood.

As a result, Frederick de Anata, who was revered as the one who had the purest noble blood in the Empire, was speculated to be the mastermind.

Frederick tried to exonerate himself from the ridiculous rumors by joining the subjugation force and spared no one. Obviously, he acted based on the political calculation that the newly ascended Emperor was the right choice.

However, Frederick couldn't leave the North for long. As soon as he married Leila, they returned to the North.

He left Herace Moore in the Capital to support the subjugation until the end. He definitely secured his stake in the rebel subjugation.

"He succeeded in wiping out the rebels, didn't he?"

"That's right. He finished not too long ago."

At that time, it was Herace who stood at the forefront. He was definitely a talented man with outstanding swordsmanship and quick judgment of situations. To the point where Owen wanted to bring the man to the Imperial family if he wasn't from Anata.
