If You Want A Cheeky Seductress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 181

Lanien didn’t even leave the palace. There were already plenty of suitable materials within the palace to replace the newborn child.

Entering the kitchen storeroom, Lanien pulled out something wrapped tightly in a large blanket. It was a young deer, destined to appear on the king’s dinner table tonight. Lanien slung the deer’s carcass over his shoulder and headed deep into a small, secluded garden where no one would find him.

As he cast a spell to make the young deer resemble a human infant, he wondered what was happening right now inside the birthing chamber.

‘The royal physicians must be terrified, clueless about what’s happening to them. But they’ll see and hear everything unfolding within.’

The child would be born safely. The real question was whom the child would resemble.

If a child with golden hair and blue eyes were born, this matter would quietly fade away. The physicians, believing Elise capable of powerful magic, wouldn’t dare speak recklessly.

Even if they secretly reported it to the queen, what could they do to Elise, who had just given birth to a royal heir? The queen, having already isolated and accused Elise of infidelity, would hold little sway with such a claim.

Lucas, who had doubted Elise, would probably apologize and take even greater care of her.

‘So, Elise, I sincerely hope the child you bear does not resemble Lucas. I hope this with all my heart.’

If that happened, Lanien planned to gather the royal physicians separately and give them a little warning. If they wished to protect their own lives and those of their families, they must act as though they had seen and heard nothing. Otherwise, a sharper, crueller magic than what had just struck them would endanger both their families and their lives.

‘The less they understand magic, the more terrified they’ll be. People fear what they don’t comprehend.’

It was fortunate that the empire controlled the Mage Tower, leaving ordinary people with no opportunity to encounter magic.

‘They’ll keep their mouths shut for a while. At least until my sister finds out about this and chooses to use it.’

He hoped Roxiana would one day wield the weapon he had crafted.

Coming from Roxiana—under the protection of Grand Duke Laetean—her words would cause far greater waves than any statement made by himself, Elise’s slave and a dark mage.
