Chapter 2

“Claudia, you have to decide now.”

“Decide what?”

For some reason, Claudia gave me a blank stare as she replied nonchalantly.

I couldn’t believe it. No matter how slow-witted you were, how could you not understand the current situation? Couldn’t you see the sparks flying in the air as these three handsome men clashed with one another fighting over you?

Well, anyways. My role here was to explain everything.

Like usual, I gave Claudia a simple explanation.

“Why, to decide your husband-to-be of course.”

“Why should I?”

Claudia asked as she cocked her head cutely.

For a moment, I couldn’t find any words to say.

Claudia tucked her silver hair behind her ear.

Her hair always looked so dazzling. Whenever she stood under the light, her hair shimmered like a flawless diamond.

And let’s not forget her clear blue eyes, as clear as the surface of a lake, which made her look as ethereal as a fairy.

She’s really as simple as ever, huh. Especially that brain of hers.

If you didn’t decide, then you would suffer as well. It would be absolutely impossible to play hard-to-get with these three men. Toying with them would be the same as walking straight to your doom. You’d get kidnapped and locked up.

I rubbed my forehead and supported my arm like that for a moment, before I whispered.

“So, Claudia. Please think about it seriously. The Crown Prince, future ruler of the Roxytant Empire! If you choose him, you will be the ‘Mother’ of this country.”

“Oh, I see…”

Claudia answered indifferently.

What? Was she not interested in the Crown Prince?

I broke out into cold sweat the moment that I learned the strongest candidate failed right away.

First off, he held the highest position among the three men and was the closest to the King. Moreover, he had flawless visuals with blonde hair as light as the sun.He would ride a white horse and be surrounded by flowery ambiance. Anyone who looked at him would think that he was the hero of the story.

His ruby red eyes flashed and he emitted an intimidating aura, but that was what his charm was. Well, there was no law that explicitly stated that they had to abide by the rule.

“If so, then you won’t go wrong with choosing the Duke. Hmm..This is a secret, but…”

I lowered my voice and whispered slowly,

“…There is a rumor about the Duke wielding power in Charlisle, a chaotic city filled with crime. I think you may be able to gain wealth and power just like with the Crown Prince.”

“I’m not interested in criminality.” What?! Even the Duke got rejected?!

Still. Look at him, Claudia.

Look at his obsidian black hair, his yellowish-purple eyes, and that lithe but muscled body hidden in that formal suit.

Couldn’t you see how sexy he was just with the mere act of breathing?
