The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 59
Gregory stood before the Grand Duke’s desk, his eyes lowered with a heavy expression. He simply couldn’t bear the Grand Duke’s gaze any longer—it grew sharper by the day, like a blade honed to a lethal edge.
“I’m… sorry. There’s still no news regarding Her Highness Bi.”
Noble abductions were typically carried out for ransom. While they awaited contact from the kidnappers, an unofficial search for the Grand Duchess was also underway. Yet so far, they hadn’t uncovered even a single solid lead.
“What about Douglas?”
“Ever since his assets were confiscated, his whereabouts have been completely unknown. We’ve issued search orders across the eastern regions where he was most active, as well as surrounding cities, but there’s been no word from that front either.”
They had also launched a search for Douglas, who was suspected as a primary suspect, but it yielded no significant results.
Moreover, there was insufficient concrete evidence clearly linking Douglas to the Grand Duchess’s abduction. Relying solely on the testimony of Ena—a child too young to be fully reliable—was simply not enough to definitively identify the culprit.
“Perhaps… we should officially announce Her Highness Bi’s disappearance and request public tips from across the entire empire?”
Gregory cautiously offered his suggestion. For now, they had imposed a capital lockdown and search orders in nearby cities under a different public pretext.
Kaeron pressed his fingers firmly between his brows, his face etched with deep contemplation. Officially declaring the Grand Duchess missing was a last-resort option he himself had been wrestling with.
“…Is that truly our only remaining option?”
Until now, they had deliberately avoided making the Grand Duchess’s disappearance public—solely to protect Aidel’s honor and safety.
In particular, they still had no clear understanding of the kidnapper’s motive. Under these circumstances, intensifying the search risked provoking the culprits and placing the Grand Duchess in even greater danger.
Yet as time passed without any tangible progress, Kaeron grew increasingly restless. With every passing moment, the Grand Duchess’s safety became harder to guarantee.
After a long silence, Kaeron finally made his decision. His lips parted slowly, just as he was about to issue Gregory the order to play their final card—

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.
