Chapter 51 (2/2)

“Now you know the gravity of it. That all of this was a mistake.”

Herietta said, stroking her surprised chest.

“Hugo is only twelve years old. He is much younger than the age limit, sixteen. There is no reason for such a child to accept this conscription duty.”

“Yes. As you say. It all comes from a mistake.”

“Then…!”

Shawn readily agreed, and Herrietta raised her head with eyes full of anticipation. But soon she realized that something was wrong. Because he was smiling with a sense of accomplishment as if he was very happy with the situation.

“But do you really think that was a mistake?”

He asked.

“Among many, your brother Hugo McKenzie, who is ridiculously young, was drafted, and then sent to Bangola… Do you really think it was a mistake?”

Herietta looked at Shawn with a blank expression on her face.

‘No way…’

“Don’t tell me you…?”

Herietta’s chin trembled. Her breath sped up and her eyes fluttered at the insecurity, which came rushing in like waves.

“You… Hugo…?”

“Did you like my gift?”

Shawn asked with a smile. There was no sign of guilt or regret on his face.

Snap. The moment she heard his answer, something broke in Herietta’s head. Her eyes were burning white. At the same time, anger soared out of control.

“You… How dare you!”

Herrietta, whose eyes were overturned in her anger, rushed to Shawn with the goal that she would break his neck. Unfortunately, he was one step ahead as he grabbed her hand with ease as if he had anticipated her next move.

“Let go! Let go of me!”

Herietta, caught by Shawn, put a strain around her neck and cursed him. But Shawn didn’t blink.

“Shut up. Unless you really want to see your brother die.”

He growled softly.

“I don’t make verbal threats. I have the personality to do it. If you still don’t believe it, you can try it.”

“…”

Herietta glared at Shawn, breathing heavily at him. She wanted to immediately dig his eyes out with her fingers. She wanted to kick him relentlessly with the legs hidden under her skirt.

But what if what he said was true? What if Hugo was endangered because of her crazy, thoughtless behavior?

The strength slowly drained from her hand, which was trembling and shivering against his grip. Her anger was still at the top of her head, but her reason slowly returned. Shawn gave a satisfied look upon seeing it. He let go of her hand.

“I will spare your brother. I will go to Bangola, as His Highness commanded me, to represent that all this was a mistake and that your brother will never have to do military service. That is, on the condition that you have to accept my deal.”

“… deal?”

“Yes. I need you to help with the national marriage to Velicia this time.”

Velicia? National marriage?

These were unfamiliar words that had nothing to do with her. Herietta looked at Shawn with suspicious eyes. Then he raised the corners of his lips crookedly.

“You are going to become the daughter of an illegitimate child hidden by His Majesty King Brimdel and marry the prince of Velicia instead of Princess Laysha.”

“!”

Herietta opened her eyes.

What is this man saying now?

“I am the King’s illegitimate child… ?”

“The illegitimate daughter. More specifically, take on the role of an illegitimate daughter who is not yet known to the public because His Majesty has hidden your existence until now.”

Unlike Herietta, who was stiff, Shawn spoke fluently.

Herietta was speechless. The words that came out of Shawn’s mouth were something she could never have imagined. Embraced in a crucible of the shock, she could not easily come to her senses.

“I don’t think that’s a bad offer for you? On the contrary, it’s a proposition that should be overwhelmingly good.”

Shawn said with a smirk.

“Usually, low-ranking aristocrats like you wouldn’t even be given a chance to meet the royal family of Velicia. I’m telling you now that I’m going to give you a chance to transform into a member of the royal family of Brimdel and marry the prince of Velicia. Born as the daughter of the Viscount, I will give you a chance to become the princess of a country.”
