Kapitel 266: Detailed plans

A few days after Duke Grahm declared his successor, news from the northern border arrive.

We were lucky, as they didn't come too early. Now, the Duke's choice will reveal all its drawbacks.

During the audience with the Emperor, I've finally caught a glimpse of Duke Grahm. He has little in common with his son, starting from his elegant demeanour. The Count will never match him no matter how much time passes.

He asked his majesty to be sent north to solve the situation, but he was rejected. Without insisting, the Duke retired in the crowd and didn't say anything else for the whole time.

Alexander was called, then, to accept the task of bringing peace to the north.

It seems that his majesty suspects that I am the one behind the disorders. So, he didn't state any condition on how my husband should accomplish what he's asked to.
