Duke's wife

Chapter 106

"...... Grace."

"In fact, when you mentioned treason, I was scared and anxious, even though I was sympathetic to you. I felt that the testimony of me and your experience, and the speculations of Lord Kaldin were not enough to destroy the Emperor's strong foundation with the support of the Imperial nobility. ...... To be honest, I didn't think you had a good chance of winning."

"That's a fair idea."

"But after Reina's testimony, things have changed. If this reaches the ears of Reina and her family, as well as the nobles who have lost their daughters to your curse and have stood in the Emperor's Sect, their unwavering support will be shaken at once. If they find out that the Emperor is willing to sacrifice their children's lives for the sake of the Crown Prince in order to consolidate his power, they will be wary of offering unconditional loyalty."

"...... I will."

"And, then, the Duke of Alberton, who has ruined you and your family with the Emperor on his back, will also fall into the abyss."

Arthur gazed fascinated into Grace's beautiful eyes, which were burning blue with vengeance. She smiled softly at him and said with a straight gaze.

"So, Arthur, even if you are a little overwhelmed by the problems of armaments and the sudden departure of the army, ....... go straight without further delay."

Grace was about to plead with Arthur by rhyming him by name once more, when Arthur smiled sweetly and nodded.

"I see. I will at once order my knights and soldiers to speed up their preparations for war."

"...... Arthur."

"I will also write to the House of the Count of Hugues and to the Duchy of Loyenne. If you want to know the secrets of their deaths and madness, come to Felix's Castle."

Arthur's gaze was as firm as if the intense emotion that had been burning in Grace's blue eyes a moment ago had been transferred.

Grace looked at Arthur, moved by his unhesitating answer. A moment ago, I was thrilled that he knew better than I did how burdensome his arguments were, and yet he said yes without hesitation.

Grace kissed Arthur's clasped hand briefly.

"Thank you, really......."

"You don't have to thank me. Forgot? I also have a lot of grudges against them."

"...... Arthur."

"So leave everything to me for the future, and you can focus on your happiness."

Arthur pulled himself up, clasping his hands together, and kissed Grace's forehead briefly. Then, suddenly, like Leon at a mischievous joke, he laughed a little mischievous and whispered in her ear.

"And, actually, I was going to tell you later, but on the day that you told me everything, I had the knights write their hands down right away. In the same way that they have harassed me and my family."

"...... Hands? What ......."

"I'll keep that a secret for the sake of future enjoyment. You'll probably find out in a long time."

Arthur let go of Grace's hand and cupped her cheek with both hands.

Grace leaned her face against Arthur's warm hand on her cheek and looked at him with a honey-dripping gaze as he smiled meaningfully at her.

"How could this person think of me like this and reassure me all the time?"

Arthur always put himself in his shoes, declaring that he would do whatever he wanted, and doing it again, was so adorable to Grace that he couldn't stand it.
