Chapter 149 - The Perfect Cover (2/2)

Had it not been the case, Eo when she was still disguised as his servant

"Ellena," his voice was hoarse when he spoke "Thank you I owe you everything"

"Your Highness, do you reo?" Ellena turned to hi in tears "You asked me if I would marry you to calm down the public"

Mars stared at Ellena with conflicting emotions

All eyes now turned to him

The crown prince nodded weakly "I do, Lady Ellena"

"You said, the threat of power struggle really et et a child to pose as your heir That way, no one would dare to think about rebelling," Ellena added

Mars remembered that conversation well He was 21 back then It o days after his birthday

He had overheard the conversation between two officials about hihed

They said that since the crown prince was unlikely to produce an heir because of his condition, they predicted that once he got old, the throne would be fair game since he couldn't have a successor

Mars was so upset and he couldn't sleep for days One day, he confided in Ellena what he had heard

The girl was upset for hi they could do

Mars finally got an idea to avoid a power struggle once he took the throne He asked if Ellena illing to help him

Since she was the closest wo ti to be his nominal wife

She would act as his wife and, before the public, they would pretend like a husband and wife Since Mars couldn't touch Ellena sexually, they would get one of his nephews to pose as their child

The child would become his heir, and Ellena his queen

That would be the perfect cover

Now, that conversation was co back to haunt him
