“Isn’t she just a girl?  She’s already spent a few days in the Imperial Palace, so she’s no longer a virgin… She must be trying her best not to be outside the eyes of the crown prince.”

“I guess so.”

“Don’t you know what a man’s heart is like?”

The following explanation would have had Matthias grabbed by the neck if he had been a normal father. Even if Theo had been here with him, he would have torn Matthias to pieces.

Unfortunately, however, it was Paul. He furrowed his brows in annoyance but felt that the crime they had instigated would not fall into the crown prince’s ear.

“If the wound is removed with a potion, it will be like a relief. Even that girl doesn’t want to lose the crown prince’s favor, so she’ll never be able to speak out.”

“How could that girl be so calm about such a thing? If the kid refuses to sleep with the prince, the prince might notice…”

He thought he could deny it even if it was discovered. No matter what anyone says, it is true that they are Rowena’s biological father and brother. They wouldn’t be expected to have instigated such a heinous crime.

In addition, the crown prince would immediately lose interest in Rowena and only care to depose her. So perhaps they and their families were safe.

He didn’t know what was going to happen to Rowena.

“If you buy people as you do things, you’ll have to be killed. It shouldn’t leak out.”

“Are you listening?”

“Isn’t it possible that Rowena has false expectations that the prince will not lose interest?”

It wasn’t a pleasant thing. It would have been a disgrace to the family as soon as it leaked out. However, it was considered inevitable for survival.

How could this opportunity be seized?! Adelia’s chance to move up a notch should not be lost because of the girl’s unrequited resentment.

“Are you confident that you can handle it so that there is no problem? Not to harm the family. If it leaks even a little bit, it’s a matter of throwing away the best opportunity.”

You brought this on yourself!

“…I’ll take care of it. Leave it to me.”

Paul loved Matthias but knew what he was good at. It was hard to say that this trick came out of Matthias’ head. Paul was quite worried because it was too mean a trick to call it a ruse.

“Are you sure you’re okay? The survival of the family depends on it.”

Even if Rowena is shunned, the Adelia family will not be ruined. There were many benefits to using Rowena, but if not, they’d be able to live like they used to.

However, they could disappear if their plans fell into the ears of Rowena or the crown prince.

“I know someone trustworthy, so please believe me. The current scheme is also in his head!”

When Matthias spoke confidently, Paul became more anxious. There seemed to be no other way to keep Rowena to himself, and he wondered if he was doing something too risky.

But his eldest son was the only one of the four children whose mother was different, and who he still had confidence in.

Yes, it’s time for Matthias to show his ability.

However, it was equally disturbing. Paul, who was dreaming of holding Rowena in his grasp and presiding over the crown prince through her, could not stop Matthias easily.

“I’ll call you to the palace later, so I hope you think about it before you decide.”

Louis was brooding over the wordings of the letter. The conclusion had already been reached. He wanted to go and live with Rowena, but he didn’t want to betray his father.

What if his father abandoned or betrayed him over Matthias? Right now, He thought he had to protect his father from Mathias’s stupidity.

My father isn’t a good man, but at least he loves me. Matthias is a hopeless idiot, so father might get caught up in his stupidity.

Paul was also an evil and foolish man, but he thought he was better than Matthias. Though he had done a lot of bad things to his sister.

It was also abusive not to completely stop Matthias, but young Louis had not yet thought so.

Two days later, Louis’ visit to the royal family was postponed because it was an engagement celebration. For a few days, the employees who prepared Louis as soon as it was dawn were also quiet.

Louis felt strange at the silence of the house without Matthias or Theo. Perhaps because Rowena took some of the family’s employees, the atmosphere was chilly.

They have to get someone in.

There was much room for that at home right now. This was because he had at most eight suits for engagement parties and engagement ceremonies.
