Capítulo 881: THE DEATH PENALTY

RUTO ALREADY expected Emperor Nikolai to grab his collar after he revealed that he had a child with Neoma in the first timeline.

But he didn't expect that Duke Rufus Quinzel would also grab his collar.

Of course, he was aware that the duke treated Neoma like she was his own daughter. However, Ruto was surprised because Duke Quinzel was never the violent type.

"I already retrieved the memories of my past life," Duke Quinzel said in a cold tone that was unusual for him. The kind and amicable duke was gone and replaced by a father who was willing to commit murder for his beloved daughter. "Did you take responsibility for Princess Neoma?"

Ruto's face turned red, flustered by the duke's question. But he answered as carefully as he could because he didn't want his head to get cut off if he said the wrong thing. "I took responsibility for Princess Neoma and our baby."

He unconsciously called Neoma by her title.
