Chapter 65.1

The furniture in the main house had been replaced with a new one not long ago, so it wasn’t because it was old or broken.

But Glenn shouldn’t have any reason for breaking it – Why would he?

‘Was it originally a defective product?’

That was the only possibility left. Nadia thought she should replace it later.

Nadia was not the only one who was confused, and soon after Isaac voiced his confusion.

“Why did that… crack all of a sudden?”

“It must have been a defective product.”

“It’s my fault. I should have looked at it more carefully… I’ll be more careful next time. I’ll have someone to order a new table.”

The three people discussed the cracked table.

Gordon looked at Glenn and asked.

“Did you hurt your hand, my lord?”

“Ah… Oh, I’m all right.”

“That’s a relief.”

Glenn also looked flustered. He didn’t know the table would crack just because he put a little bit of strength.

His gaze quickly went back and forth between the broken table and his right hand.

‘All of a sudden, my hands are…’

As soon as he heard Nadia’s recommendation to get him a concubine, Glenn felt like his blood was rising in the back of his neck, and naturally his hands became tense.

He didn’t know why he felt that way either. It’s just… he felt angry and upset for no reason.

At that time, the first to come to his senses, the first Marquis, spoke.

“Hold on… What were we talking about now?”

“We were talking about the successor.”

“Yes, furniture is not important now. Glenn, what in the world are you talking about? You don’t want to have a successor? Is that true?”

“That’s….”

Glenn’s forehead began to be slightly sweaty.

‘Did I… say that?’

“All right. We’ll see how long you can lie about love.”

“But you’d better not dream of being recognized as my wife. I will never want a successor from Balazit’s daughter.”

His own voice played in his head. There were too many witnesses to argue that he had never said that.

Dozens of guests who were there that day alone would pass as witnesses.

He even said that on their wedding day. At this point, Glenn wanted to hit his own head against the wall.

Isaac, who witnessed his son’s ever-changing expression, sighed.

Although he hadn’t heard the answer yet, judging from Glenn’s face, he didn’t think he would need it.

“You must have really said that sort of thing. Are you even in your right mind – A head of a family won’t take his future seriously? You don’t even have brothers or living cousins!”

Well, Glenn used to think Nadia was the Duke of Balazit’s spy….

Nadia stepped up to cut Isaac and started to talk.

“Please calm down, Your Grace. Glenn’s successor doesn’t need to be born from a legal wife. First of all, I’m not even a legitimate daughter!”

Snap!

Nadia’s words became arrows and stuck in Glenn’s heart.

His body slumped slightly. He could feel the bitterness in his stomach after she said that.

However, Isaac continued his conversation with Nadia, as if he did not care about his son’s reaction.

“I mean, why would he want a successor from a concubine when he has a legal wife?” Although it is less than the South, there is still prejudice to such acts in the North. Moreover, do you want to raise someone else’s son as a successor?”

“Of course… I will feel bad, but I can’t help it if he means what he said. I have no choice but to follow his will.”

Every word from Nadia’s mouth flew to Glenn like an arrow.

He wanted to stop this discussion about his successor, if it was possible.

However, to the shadow of his wishes, Nadia was only a step further.

“If there’s any specific preference in a woman, I’ll help find her.”

“W-what?”

“……!”

Everyone’s mouth opened with astonishment.

It was a virtue imposed on the ladies of this era to overlook her husband’s concubine, but it should not be easy.

Especially if Nadia was loving her husband passionately.

Nadia’s eyes rolled at the astonished gaze.

‘Did I say too much?’

Nadia did not talk about the succession, but when she thought about it, it seemed to be a little different from what she had seen so far.

What kind of woman was so calm looking for a concubine to her beloved husband?

‘I should leave this place before a more difficult situation comes.”

It was easier to assess the situation when she was cornered..

Nadia picked up the ledgers she had put on the table, and bowed slightly.

“Then I came to show you the ledgers, so I’ll get going.”

Then Nadia hurried out of the study and left. She was almost running away, so no one could stop her before they realized it.

Click.

In an instant there were only three men left in the room.
