Capítulo 271: Decision (4)

Silence fell upon the room after Hazel shared her plans. She expected Tobias to be angry and say something right away out of anger, but he didn't. This made her even more concerned but she had to continue. Hazel had already convinced herself this was what she needed to do so she could not turn back now.

Picking a woman of her choice might be the best way to make this all work. "When we return I will select a woman to-"

"One month," Tobias spoke up. He needed a bit more time before agreeing to something like this. "Wait one more month to see if we can have a child and if we don't, I will let the selection start."

It pained Tobias to let these words leave his mouth. He never planned to take another woman to his side. The option of stepping down as king was better than putting his wife through that.

Unfortunately, Hazel had her mind made up and asking for a month was the only thing he could ask for to put this off a little longer.
