Giving The Male Lead A Happy Ending 4

At midnight

In the Duke's Study

Duke Lucretius/ Fl's Father

We need to protect Amelia, Khalid

Duke Lucretius/ Fl's Father

I can't bear see her in an ugly situation

Khalid/ Fl's 2nd Brother

To make sure of that we need to take care of that…

Duke Lucretius/ Fl's Father

Early in the morning send a letter to the Imperial Family and tell them we are not going to follow the request

Khalid/ Fl's 2nd Brother

But Father, the Nobel faction?

Duke Lucretius/ Fl's Father

Amelia is more important than those dumb idiots

Duke Lucretius/ Fl's Father

And I want a report whether the rumor in the south in true or not, do you get it?

Khalid/ Fl's 2nd Brother

Yes Father

In the Capital

The Imperial Mansion

A dungeon below the mansion

A man dressed in expensive clothes that have stains of blood on them along with guards who are torturing a man, who is covered with numerous cuts and blood trickling from his wounds.

Erudian/ML

You don't want to speak a word even now

Erudian/ML

It feels like you are waiting for death

Erudian/ML

Luke, start skinning him

Luke

yes, your royal highness

Luke started skinning him

The man screamed

The whole dungeon was echoing in the screams of this man

-------------------------

Next morning

in the Royal study

Erudian hit his fist on the table

Erudian/ML

Nothing! Nothing again

Erudian/ML

It's been 5 months, and the result is always the same. Who the hell had the courage to set me up.

Erudian had learnt a lesson through his father. Unlike his father he decided not to follow polygamy, and to not have any illegitimate children

He wanted to marry through love, and believed he had enough political power on his own

That was his plan until a month, he ended up finding a decree that was made during the time of his father; the decree stated that successor of the King was required to marry the daughter of the Luminous duchy.

The Luminous Duchy having a daughter was considered a blessing as it was a rare affair. And the present Duke was lucky to have a daughter.

Now for Erudian it was necessary to marry the Princess, so as to not pass it on to his successors as with every year of delay a hefty amount was required to be sent to duchy as compensation, and no one knew when there was going to be a daughter in the Ducal House again, so Erudian was left with no other choice

Erudian/ML

Luke, Inform the Luminous Duchy that I'll be arriving in a few hours

Luke

Yes your highness

Erudian/ML

We will meet soon...my wife to be

on the other side
