The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 25
In the imperial palace of the Lisandro Empire, the regularly scheduled lunch gathering of the princes was in full swing.
“The Grand Duke Elyos of the Jupiter Empire got married yesterday, didn’t he?”
The First Prince of the Lisandro Empire tightened his grip. The thank-you letter, embossed with the emblem of House Elyos, was mercilessly crumpled.
The letter stated that the wedding gift had been well received and that, in return, a charitable donation would be made in the same amount—specifically under the First Prince’s name to a charity in the capital of the Lisandro Empire.
Though it cost him nothing… the First Prince, who had grown up constantly being compared to Kaeron, the imperial prince of the neighboring empire since childhood, found even this gesture grating.
It felt as if the Grand Duke were declaring he wouldn’t even allow a debt as trivial as the value of a gift to remain between them. At the same time, the image of the Grand Duke Elyos—who had always overshadowed him—flashed through his mind.
The First Prince’s face twisted with deep-seated insecurity, contorting as much as the thank-you letter clutched in his hand.
“The new Grand Duchess is just as insolent as that ill-fated Grand Duke.”
According to his aide who delivered the letter, it was the Grand Duchess Elyos who had initiated this donation.
News of the act had already spread throughout the Jupiter Empire, and public admiration for both the new Grand Duchess and House Elyos was soaring.
Though he’d never met her, since she was the woman chosen by the Grand Duke Elyos, she must surely be as aloof and unapproachable as he imagined.
“Ah… I’ve heard about her too—the Grand Duchess Elyos, that is.”
The Second Prince set down his wine glass and wickedly gleamed as he licked the wine lingering on his lips.
“They say she’s a rare beauty… what a pity. Had I known, I would have gone to the Jupiter Empire to attend the wedding myself.”
The Second Prince, far more interested in her looks than her character, clicked his tongue regretfully.

Can’t wait for second prince to die . How dare he touch grand Duchess with his filthy hand.
I hope Kareon kills first prince . But maybe that’s not going to happen because of diplomatic relations between kingdoms. If at that moment aidel would have remained unconscious ,second prince definitely would have died .It’s unfortunate , that bastard should have died on spot.
I am blushing even though I don’t know what withdrawal symptoms is.
