章節 315: Women with Purpose

After all, what’s the point of me having the prince’s child if he doesn’t even want it?

“But the prince… I mumbled in protest.

The duchess held up her hand to silence me and I found myself holding back my words. The older lady shook her head softly before she grinned at me.

“Seriously, why do you think I’m still around? Just take a look at the current king and you will see what I mean. Do you honestly think that the three of us were his only lovers from when he was in his prime?” she asked before her smile widened.

I didn’t know what to say although I understood the point that she was trying to make already. In response, all I could do was shake my head. Undoubtedly the king must have had many lovers when he was younger but as the duchess rightfully pointed out, only two women were still by his side given that Prince Leonard’s mother had already passed away.
