I Decline the Ex-Boyfriend of the Regretful Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 59
After Anette returned to her room,
Hertian stayed behind alone with the Count to finish their unfinished conversation.
“I heard the story about you plucking out a dragon’s eye and presenting it to Her Imperial Majesty.”
Lucas opened the topic with a worried expression.
It was a rumor that had spread instantly—how Hertian had abruptly entered the dragon’s lair, returned to the hunting grounds drenched in dragon’s blood, and tossed the eye to the Empress.
Most nobles expressed admiration for his feat of subduing the dragon, but Lucas noticed something else entirely.
“Could it be that Her Imperial Majesty went to the hunting grounds for that very reason?”
On the very day Hertian returned, the Empress had been at the hunting grounds. Could that truly be coincidence? Lucas firmly believed it was not—unless she had gone there knowing where Hertian had gone, so she could hear news of him as quickly as possible.
‘No sane Duke would ever lay hands on a dragon himself.’
Observing Hertian’s calm expression, Lucas finalized the assumption he had formed.
“So it was Her Imperial Majesty after all… I had hoped otherwise.”
A sigh escaped him at the same time.
He was not unaware of Hertian’s standing within the Imperial Palace, nor of what his existence meant to the Empress. Yet he had never imagined she would issue such an overt threat so soon after the marriage—especially since things had remained quiet thanks to Hertian’s participation in the war.
“The only reason I permitted your marriage to Anette, Your Grace, was because you promised you would keep her safe.”
Lucas finally voiced his regret.
