The attendants dressed neatly in robes were already preparing for lunch and were crouching toward me, lying on either side of the hall. Good to see you all.

I greeted them, one by one, on their shoulders and abdomen.

“Hey, it's good to see you all again. How have you been? ”

The servants were very embarrassed, such as looking at each other. I've never seen myself like this before.

But I didn't care. Honestly, I feel more for the common people and slaves than the nobles. I shared my life and death in the battlefield with those who were turned away by nobles and knights in the age of destruction.

An old servant couldn't help himself.

“Yes, thanks to the Grand Duke's consideration, I am doing well. ”

“That's a relief. Anyway, take care. We don't need all these sons of bitches. Your health is your own. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

“Well done, then. Goodbye.”

As I entered the luncheon room, I saw an uncomfortable noblewoman and a 13-year-old nobleman sitting quietly. Helen became my stepmother in law shortly after my mother died, and her son and half sister, Joseph.

I sat next to the top seat with only a slight glance.

Do we have to see them again? Wow, that's amazing. ’

It's not good between me and their hats. I'm in a one-sided relationship, but I'm not comfortable with it either. It's because they remind me of my dead mother.

Before she took her last breath, she entrusted me to kill those hats who took the love of Father by themselves as soon as I got to the Grand Duke's throne. That's how deep our hats and their emotions go.

Of course, I don't intend to remove it now, but I don't intend to share the kindness of the Hahahaha family.

It was the same in my past life, and Josef and I did not have a relationship at all.

Well, just once, when I was on my way to the last battlefield, Joseph had a similar conversation, and he said to me at the time, "Is he coming back alive again? I said," Wouldn't it be a little hard this time? ’I finished the line.

‘I don't know. Maybe we don't have to look at it. Tsk.’

After a while, my father came inside with several servants.

“Ma'am, I'm here. ”

Then Helen's face bloomed.

“Grand Duke. Welcome."

“How have you been? ”

“I'm fine. ”

My father stares at me. Well, he couldn't have known how to treat Helen. You planted eyes and ears inside the territory.

However, his father turned around and gently stroked Josef's head, holding him in his arms.

“You've grown so much since I didn't see Josef. ”

“Yes ~”

“Yes. How was school? ”

“I was also the head of the whole class. ”

I can't say it with my own mouth, but Joseph is a genius who no longer exists. When he was five years old, he memorized all 40,000 characters of ancient runes to surprise his surroundings, and when he was seven, he turned the world upside down completely by his difficult politics.

At the age of 10, he entered his father's heart as a disciple of Bilke, the president of the Royal Noble School, recently memorized a small library of Imperial Political Philosophy collections, and even graduated to the mausoleum and was appointed as the chief disciple of Bilke.

Oh, he's such an asshole for cancer.

"Tsk, no wonder you're the first in command. Are you bragging about it? Arthur, after eight years, we won't need all that. It's the end of the world. Who's gonna treat me like I read a few lines of books? At that time, no matter what anyone says, the sword is the best. Hehe. ’

I smiled gladly. Once upon a time, Joseph's genius was overwhelmed and he dared not even look up to his father, but now he was winning a fairly spiritual victory, saying that he had built up a few years.

And frankly, because I couldn't study, no one was as good at swordsmanship as I was at it. Of course, the book makes my eyes numb, and the exit doesn't tend to be too much for the sword at all, but where is it? After all, I vomited on the steam rising from the master's heights in the thirty years.

“Grand Duke. We'll have some appetizer soup for you shortly. ”

“I see.”

My father graciously seated Joseph and turned to his seat. However, I could see the shadows in the eyes of my father who was passing by me.

I know my father's face very well. That face is a sign of sadness for the father himself, who cannot make his half-brother Josef heir.

My father would never turn me down and make Josef Duke. That is the power of my bloodline.

"Phew! Do I have to see that face again until the day I die?" My goodness. ’

I used to hate that father. The other one was the same kid, but Donnie and the Nines couldn't be comfortable with him.

So I don't know if I was more afraid of him at this point. I could just take it for granted, but that eye left a big scar on my heart like a sharp scepter.

I glanced at my father with a glass of soup brought by the acolyte.

‘But at this time, he was very strong. ’

At that moment, I remembered the day my father died. I don't want to think about it, but that look in my father's eyes reminds me of that day.

On the day the Josrahim Emperor fell to the witches, my father came to me with an awkward goal. He was strong enough to be called the Iron Chancellor, but he looked very small and insignificant like a petty old man who had returned from the war.

Thinking about it now is a very sad and sad memory, but I get a little angry.

At that time, my father left me with his stepmother, Helen, and my younger brother, Joseph, to take care of me for the last time, and I had no worries at all about that reckless request. Even though I had the persistence to make it back alive on so many lines, it was just too much.

‘Yes, let's give it a whirl. There's no such thing as a Grand Duke. ’

I was willing to concede my Grand Duke position to Josef.

It is nothing but a mirage that will vanish in the age of destruction. I didn't have to hide my father's shadow while I was unhappy. Thinking about cancer, I felt like giving it away like it was a hundred-times business.

“Father,”

“Oh. And then, I saw that Earl Tyben was looking for me a while ago. ”

My father hung up on me halfway and said only his own words. He can't even feed me.

“Bird of Tai Ben? ”

“Yes, but his granddaughter had a child. ”

As soon as I saw the young eyes of my father, I remembered Prince Tyben.

His granddaughter was Lillia, an alumni of the Imperial Noble School. I approached him with a tight tail before graduation, and I slept with him several times because he hated my face, but this became a big problem. This is why Bird Tyben formally asked me to marry him because of her pregnancy.

However, as my fiancée, I was not allowed to enter into any other agenda, and my father gave Zhao Tyben considerable political interest in order to quietly tie up the case.

I scratched my nose a few times with my index finger and opened my mouth calmly.

“So?”

“Don't tell me you don't know who the father of that child is in that boat is. ”

I know. I know too well.

“Of course I know. ”

“Who is it?”

“Sir Layton, her escort. ”

My father's eyebrows were trembling.

“Not according to his own words. ”

“No, I'm not. I'm right. I know Lillia and Lord Layton's relationship. ”

I was 100 percent sure Lillia's child wasn't mine. I heard it from her and saw it with my own eyes.

Immediately after the imperial palace collapsed, I found no place to lay down my body and went to see the writer Tyben. However, it was because she believed that she would not treat her son's father who was born to her.

However, they were brutally driven out, as expected. I was in a hurry, but Lillia's answer was that the child's father wasn't me.

And it certainly wasn't. The appearance of her son and Lord Layton's face resembled those of twins. No matter how much I tried, I had to leave Tyben's territory without even trying.

“Are you sure? ”

“Yes. If in doubt, you can do a paternity test by magic. ”

“If you get hit, you can't take it off or hit it. This means that this father has to concede a greater advantage to his son. ”

“That's not going to happen, so hold on to your worries. ”

My father looked at me, and soon he held his head back. I guess they decided to trust me. It is unlikely that a skilled politician like my father will be able to read my expression without seeing the lies of the eunuch.

And I've always been as truthful as my father. If I tell a lie, I'll get caught.

“I see. Then I'll take care of Tyben." ”

“What are you going to do? ”

“You threatened me, and now you have to pay. ”

In my father's eyes, I was young to live. Even when he dares to beg for his granddaughter's pregnancy as an excuse, he gets angry and says it's a lie. If you do nothing, you will not be the Iron Duke.

I snapped my tongue.

“That's it. Let it go. ”

“No, if you've done something decent, you'll pay for it. That's politics. ”

“I'll take care of it later, so hold on to that. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

I met Lillia again after I was banished from Tyben territory. I remember Fort Sweden, when I was a 5,000 seals leading the conscription, and she was the dirty whore who sold herself to slave soldiers to save a day. Even though it's the end of the world, people's positions change so quickly.

Anyway, my feelings at the time were very complicated. It was ridiculous that a noble woman would sell herself to a slave soldier to get an oat bread. So I grabbed Lillia's wrist to escape in tears, handed her a bunch of jerky and some wheat bread and left without saying a word.

And that evening, I saw a prostitute who I thought was Lillia from a distance throw herself down a wall full of magical objects.
