ISADORA'S POV

"Milord, what are we doing at the crown prince wing? Why are you holding a sword?" I inquired while the archduke smiled the whole way here.

"I received an order from the king and queen to reform the crown prince from his current lifestyle. Get yourself ready for some obscene scene as I kick this door down, little miss knight." The archduke didn't even wait for me to get myself ready when he kicks the crown prince's door and barge I to his room.

I pinched the bridge of my nose when I saw the crown prince is on top of a naked with, clearly having some private time.

"What the fuck is wrong with you two?! Where are the guards! Can't you see I am busy?!" He quickly covered the woman's expose body with the quilt while he faces the archduke.

"What are you doing, old man?! Now that you're engaged to my sister, you want to show off your influence in my palace?! That's not going to happen! Don't you know who I am?! I am the crown prince of this country!" The archduke smiled.

"And I am the archduke who will be married to the first imperial princess. That statement alone qualifies me to be the next king of this country if the crown prince continues to live his life this way. Do you think your sister has no power for the throne? Even if she's a woman, I am a man, and my title is enough to convince the king to make me his successor." The crown prince was about to hit the archduke when I grabbed on his hand.

"That is not wise, your highness. When it comes to noble ranks, milord stands above you. And as the commander of the Hawthorne knights, I can't just stay idle even if you're the crown prince." The crown prince removed his hands from my hold.

"So you are here to tell me that? To hell, I care about the throne. That my father of mine never cares about me! Why does he care now?" The archduke raised his hand to tell me that's it's okay. I took a step back.

"Because your father is old and sick. It's time for you to step up and show him that you're a responsible and capable future king. If you continue to live this way, impregnating a young woman and using your title for your gain, that alone is enough to convince the elders and the king to find a new candidacy for the throne." The crown prince swivel towards the woman on the bed.

"I want to marry her. Tell that to my father. I rather marry a commoner than indulge myself with high ranking noble females. Can you do that?" The woman abruptly got up from the bed and was trying to talk sense into the crown prince's head.

"What? Don't you want to marry me?" The crown prince smirk at the woman.

"Milord, he's insane. Don't listen to him." The archduke raises his hand to stop the fight between the crown prince and his partner.

"Are you a commoner?" The woman bows at the archduke.

"Then you shall train by the palace teacher to be the next queen of this country. If the crown prince wishes to marry you, then there shouldn't be any problem. You two shared a bed." The woman was then put at the corner by the archduke. He is good with his words.

If no ones know about his real background, they will think that he's a noble-born man.

"Put on some clothes. Our first lesson starts in 10 minutes. Don't be late or else I asked the dame to drag you to see me in person." The archduke turned towards the door and left the crown prince chamber. I followed his footsteps with questions after questions in my mind.

"What do you think of crown prince Octavian as the future king of this country?" The archduke suddenly inquired out of the blue.

"I am not qualified to question the king's decision, milord." I gave him the standard answer that any knight should give to their superior.
