Chapter 186: 2.2.11: Marriage Contract (IV)

"What happened?" The Duke asked impatiently. He couldn't believe that the illegitimate daughter of his ended up being the most useful pawn of all. She was going to be the queen in the future! No matter how audacious and ambitious the Duke was, he would've never assumed that his daughter would be the future queen one day. Maybe his legitimate daughter since she had the status and the bloodline to follow, but for his illegitimate daughter that had grown up with the peasants for a short period of time? It was too ridiculous to think about.
