Chapter 99: Proposal (2)

Milton was happy that the people fanatically liked him, but he was also embarrassed

“The fact that the Marquis exists in this country gives the citizens a great deal of relief So it’s not a good idea for you to personally lead the aran to hesitate when he heard Queen Leila say this

‘It’s not like I’er…’

But if it’s not hi resolve before speaking to Queen Leila

“Your Majesty, please allow o”

“You’re stubborn as a hed as Milton repeatedly said he had to go to war

After soht, she spoke

“I’ll conditionally accept you participating in the war, Marquis”

“Conditions?”

“Marry me That’s one of the conditions for you to participate in the war, Marquis”

Milton let out a sigh at her words

‘This again?’

Queen Leila had been repeatedly suggestinghi and coronation ceremony at the sae each time

In fact, this was a delicate problem for Milton as well Truthfully, it wasn’t that he didn’t like it, he had gotten used to Queen Leila’sinto a maelstrom of power, but his silver spoon life was over anyway So there was no reason for hiot married, they may be able to live more or less in har on est reasons Milton was hesitating to marry Queen Leila was because of Sophia For Milton, if Queen Leila was a vixen, then Sophia was like his cute little sister When he ith her, without evento, he would stroke her hair She caused hih she was a peculiar woned permit than jewelry or flowers as reward, she was very obedient to Milton At first, he felt affection for her peculiarness but later he began to feel affection towards her as a man

Now this is where the problest the Forrest Family’s vassals, Sophia was basically Milton’s ht this At this point, Milton should take responsibility since it would be difficult for her to marry someone else at this point

Milton had decided to propose to her several tihed on his h that the expression ‘matchless beauty’ see that no man would ever be able to delete her from their memories if they saw her once Milton wasn’t a saint that wouldn’t be tempted to marry a beautiful woman like her

In other words, if he tried to marry Sophia, Queen Leila would be on his mind, and if he tried to marry Queen Leila, then Sophia would be on his ht The problem was that Milton couldn’t decide on one of thehed as she saw Milton hesitating

‘I guess it can’t be helped’

There was no way she couldn’t not knohat Milton was thinking A vixen’s touch and a woo The only reason she had pretended not to knoas because of her pride as a woman She ell aware of her beauty She was tired of ans, as long as she s to marry her because of another woman? There was no way her pride wouldn’t be bruised

But at the sa She was surprised that she still had so like a ‘woeance after losing both her mother and brother

‘Have I lost htly frowned Marrying Milton was the best option out of all the political options available to her But after a while… how should she say it? She began to feel a bit different

There were easier methods if it was just for political reasons She could use her authority and force Sophia to oal would naturally be reached For Queen Leila to think up a sche

But just because she had an idea didn’t mean she could put it to action What would happen if she carried out her plan and got caught by Milton? Scorn? Condeood response

If it was anyone else, Queen Leila wouldn’t have cared She wouldn’t have cared what he thought of her as long as the political alliance was stable But… She didn’t want Milton to think of her like that

‘Well, it’s not like he has a great i’

She knew that in Milton’s head, there was the equation Leila = Vixen She didn’t say anything since she knew that it would be difficult to resolve that (?)

‘It can’t be helped Let’s just think about it as changingdecision

“Marquis Forrest”

“Yes, Your Majesty?”

“Is Lady Sophia Philinover part of the reason you’re hesitating to marry me?”

“……”

At this point, silence was best

Queen Leila sighed when Milton stayed silent

“If I wasn’t the Queen, you would have accepted me as your First Wife, and Lady Philinover as your Second Wife”

Even in this hypothetical scenario, Queen Leila refused to give up the position of First Wife Anyway, the reason she hadnot to knoasn’t to nag or get angry at Milton She was stepping up to try and unknot this probleht already knohen you iven the title of Grand Duke However, as the Queen’s husband, you cannot take a concubine”

“I know that, Your Majesty”

Although this was a world that allowed nobles to practice polygamy, there were exceptions A Queen’s husband was one of those exceptions Because the precedent of a Queen was rare, that exception wasn’t exactly a law, but it was common sense

If a Queen takes a husband and a child is born from the two of them, then that child will naturally be the heir to the throne But what if the Queen’s husband takes a concubine, and the two of theuous

Looking at family relationshi+ps, that concubine’s child would have the Queen as a h the Queen wouldn’t be that child’s real mother, the Queen would be interpreted as the y records However, the blood of the royal family wouldn’t flow in that child That child’s existence itself would be ae was a very important issue That’s why the Queen’s husband would only have one woman his entire life Well, at least on the outside But all this was just an unwritten rule; it wasn’t officially established
