Bab 212: Her Reason (2)

*Murmur*

*Murmur*

''I can't believe such a child is the Grand duke's heir…''

''I wonder if duke hayes will put the child as heir…''

''Who knows…the mistress's child is still in the duchy according to rumors…''

Madam Clayton kept her smile as she passed through the murmurs of the gossipy nobles. In her heart, she looked down on them for their different faces. They were the same people who were praising the new young heir. Now that he did something horrendous, they couldn't wait to drag him down to the mud, even though he was a child.

'I believe the princess will do something about this soon…' Madam Clayton thought as she descended the stairs with her daughter following behind, outside the banquet hall. She caught sight of her family's carriage and was about to walk towards the direction.

But…

''S-Sister!''

She had to hear unwanted voices from the past.
