I Had the Enemy's Baby (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 95

The head of the household, who had been away for nearly a month due to the King’s birthday celebrations, had finally returned.

Baron Colon had originally been a close friend of the late Duke of Temnes. Having grown up together since childhood—receiving heir training alongside the young lord and playing together—he possessed considerable insight and capability.

Among the retainers, he specifically declared himself the butler out of deep loyalty and overflowing affection for Temnes, wishing to support the previous head of household more closely than anyone else. He took on far more duties than what typical head butlers of other estates handled.

Then, when the Duke and Duchess suddenly passed away during their visit to the royal palace, Baron Colon immediately assumed the role of castle butler and became Kai An’s legal guardian.

Fortunately, Kai An was already eighteen when he inherited the dukedom.

Though it was regrettable that his father, who should have taught him the skills of lordship, had departed so early, it was at least fortunate that he wasn’t an immature child.

While Kai An was away at war, Baron Colon governed Rowen Castle and the domain.

He desperately hoped that the son of his childhood friend—who now bore the enormous responsibility of Temnes at such a young age and whom he served as his rightful lord—would return safely from the battlefield.

Thus, even as the head of household spent years on the battlefield, Baron Colon successfully safeguarded the domain and castle unscathed. Indeed, not only the butler but also the people of Temnes held such immense affection for their Duke that his temporary absence—merely summoned away by the King—left everyone anxiously awaiting his return day and night.

Meanwhile, resentment toward King Valkyter of Oberon had grown widespread.

“Why does he keep summoning our lord back and forth like that?”

“Exactly. If war is so important, why doesn’t he go himself? Instead, he stays holed up in his palace, just flapping his mouth like any ordinary king.”

Though the entire Oberon Kingdom generally supported Valkyter’s rule, there was precisely one place where not even a speck of respect for the young king could be found: the Rowen region.

Perhaps it was partly because Queen Sylvia had often visited here.

The two children, uncannily similar due to shared blood, grew up side by side—sometimes walking ahead, sometimes behind each other.
