My Fiancé Keeps Trying to Raise Me (16 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 78

“It really does seem that kingdoms and empires are different. For a ducal palace to be… more grand than a royal palace…”

Luke, whose face seemed a bit deflated, made the remark, prompting Jeon to give a faint chuckle.

Having only recently joined the Royal Knights, Luke was beloved by the other knights for his uniquely pure and honest disposition.

Even the usually taciturn Jeon inwardly regarded him much like a younger brother—so it was only natural that Anet, who had grown quite fond of the knights herself, felt the same.

The moment Jeon thought of her, his habitual smile vanished.

Originally, he had intended to travel alone to the Alkan Empire.

But no sooner had word spread that Jeon was heading to the empire on the king’s orders than Luke appeared before him.

Luke had been consumed by guilt, believing it was his fault that Anet had stepped down from her position as captain.

Moreover, he had learned the royal court had decided to maintain the alliance through this political marriage and formally request support from House Harzent.

The moment Luke realized it was realistically impossible for Anet to return, he resigned from the Royal Knights.

Though joining the Royal Knights had been his lifelong dream—ever since he lost his entire family to a beast monster during a childhood visit to the countryside—now his goal had changed.

He no longer cared if he remained a knight or not; he only wished to live for Anet, who had saved his life and slain countless beast monsters to protect the kingdom’s people.

Yet, once he actually resigned, he realized that as a mere commoner, he could never hope to easily meet Anet, who was soon to become a Grand Duchess.
