Nathaniel told me not to worry, but anxiety once attached was not easily dispelled.
I pondered for several days.
Sitting down and just worrying was not my style.
“I must prepare, prepare.”
First, I had to find out about the DS Knights.
But there was almost no information, perhaps because they were a secret organization.
I didn’t think I could find more than Nathaniel, who was close to the Crown Prince and a transcendent.
Then all that was left was the incurable disease.
Unlike the original work, there was a slight hint this time.
The illness Nathaniel’s mother suffered.
I summoned the palace maid and checked the detailed symptoms.
“The symptoms Teresa experienced in the book are exactly the same.”
At first, it’s just a lack of energy.
Then the number of times you suffer from high fever increases, and movement becomes more difficult.
In the end, you have to lie in bed and wait for death.
“They couldn’t find the treatment or cause back then either.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Thank you for telling me. You may leave now.”
The palace maid bowed and left.
After sending the palace maid away, I was lost in thought.
Why would a secret organization with an overly grand purpose target a common young lady like Teresa?
“I really can’t figure it out…”
The more I thought about it, the more I got lost in the maze.
[This is the time separator]Luxurious reception room.
Milia was still staring at her father with an elegant face.
The stillsternlooking Count Trevia courteously raised a greeting.
“It’s been a long time, Your Majesty the Empress.”
“Yes, it has been a long time.”
“What is the reason for calling this old man here?”
Milia lifted her teacup and smiled secretly.
They were never a close parentchild pair, but the distance had grown since Milia became the empress.
Considering her father’s reaction when she was unmarried and pregnant, it was a miracle they were even sitting facetoface.
“It’s about the bill you left unfinished last time.”
“What bill are you talking about?”
“The bill you wanted to enact when I was not yet the empress.”
At Milia’s words, Count Trevia momentarily lost his words.
He hesitated, then slowly opened his mouth.
“You mean the bill allowing the Emperor’s concubines?”
“Yes.”
The current Emperor, Philip, was famous for his promiscuity from a young age.
There were many women who threw themselves at him, possessing strong power and beautiful appearance.
One of them was Milia.
She bore the Emperor’s child as an unmarried woman but received no recognition.
Legally, the Emperor’s wife was only one, the Empress, so she had to hide from the threats of assassins sent by the former Empress and her relatives.
What Milia brought up now was the bill that Count Trevia had tried to pass through the Senate to provide her with a position at that time.
A concubine was the Emperor’s official wife, enjoying everything as a wife, albeit less than the Empress.
She could attend ceremonies, and if her child was a son, she could have legal inheritance rights.
Naturally, opposition parties, mainly the dead former Empress’s maternal family, vehemently protested, and the bill was not passed.
Then the Empress died of illness, Milia took the Empress’s position, and it was naturally forgotten.
“Why are you saying we should pass that bill now?”
“Because of the Crown Prince, Count.”
“Nathaniel… His Highness the Crown Prince?”
“Yes. Haven’t the royal descendants always been precious from generation to generation? Besides, Crown Prince Nathaniel is a descendant born with the power of the dragon.”
Milia was right.
Even though Philip had sown so many seeds and wandered around, there were only two people who got pregnant, which was almost a miracle.
Not only that.
Over the past few centuries, many emperors had kept women by their sides and sired children, but they only had two or three at most.
“But if so…”
The Duke did not continue speaking, but Milia also knew what words would follow.
He might be worried about Philips taking a concubine.
“His Majesty has not refrained from taking other women into his arms even without that law, has he?”
“There’s no need to take the risk of accepting a concubine, though.”
“His Majesty is already reaching fifty, Father. It’s time for him to get tired of fighting with the ministers to take a concubine.”
She put down the glass she was holding.
Despite holding a warm cup, her fingertips were still cold.
“Still, a concubine. That’s too much of a risk to take.”
“Don’t worry about me. This is not only for my safety but also for our Henry.”
So saying, the Empress further explained.
If Nathaniel became the Emperor, the first thing he would do is try to eliminate the person who would threaten his position.
And that first person would obviously be Henry.
“Don’t we need strong support to protect our Henry after I die?”
“Do you mean… to put one of our people in the position of the crown prince’s concubine?”
A glimmer appeared in the eyes of Duke Trevia.

really disliked him
