In Stone Castle City, which was slowly recovering its strength, Fiona slapped the new maid.
He said angrily: "I tell you to do a small thing, but you just do it if you don't like it. How dare you make fun of me!?"
The maid was beaten and she lowered her head and sobbed feeling aggrieved. She neither dared to leave nor to speak out to refute. She did show dissatisfaction, but it was just a small detail. Unexpectedly, the young lady's temper was so bad.
As big as he is, forced by his power, he can only stay here and let Fiona beat and scold him.
The young Duke entered the room at some unknown time, and Fiona, who was in a fit of rage, did not know it and continued to act ugly. However, the frightened maid noticed it. When she looked up and saw that it was Duke Ellen, she immediately looked for help.
Only then did Fiona notice Ellen, and she became even more angry.
"You bitch! You didn't even say a word when you saw the master! You made me look embarrassed on purpose, didn't you!!"
Fiona raised her hand to strike again, but the maid finally had the courage to run away and rushed out of the room from Ellen.
Fiona chased after her and wanted to fight, but when she passed by Ellen, Ellen grabbed her hand. When she was about to struggle, Ellen was already holding her in her arms.
Fiona said angrily: "You doted on that servant girl, and why did you come to bully me?..."
Ellen hugged her and smiled: "I am nice to everyone~ but you are the only one in my heart~..."
Fiona reluctantly agreed to this fact.
Although Ellen's reputation is not as high as that of the late old Duke, he is not a mediocre idiot with no merits. His teacher is the sage Ronis. Under the guidance of Ronis, he is learned and knowledgeable, and he has gone out to study and have gained a wide range of experiences.
, and also relied on family connections to establish contacts with many old and new dignitaries in the mainland.
This time, the Southern Territory suffered a severe disaster, and the old Duke Ivan was killed in battle. In this situation, he inherited the family business. With the help of Ronis, he successfully won the hearts of the native dignitaries in the Southern Territory, preventing them from defecting to the imperial capital or joining the brave men.
His behavior is the best proof of his ability.
In addition, he has excellent aristocratic qualities and always considers himself a gentleman. He treats everyone around him equally regardless of their origin or status and treats them well. People around him are attracted to him and are willing to work for him.
Ellen hugged Fiona and said sweetly: "My beautiful Fiona, the love of my life, you are already the mistress of this Stone Castle City, and you are the most precious member of my glorious Wakagudo family.
.You should try to do as little as possible those rude behaviors that ordinary village women would do. If you can be as noble and elegant as a white swan, and be on the same level as them, those guards and servants will naturally respect you sincerely."
Fiona happily nestled in his arms and let him move his hands up and down, shyly saying: "A flawless white swan would not do such a thing~"
Ellen smiled evilly~~..."
…
After a while, she confided: "I have a baby..."
"What?"
Ellen was startled and straightened up quickly.
Fiona smiled happily, caressed his chest and said, "I've been upset the past two days, it's not unreasonable..."
"So I'm going to be a father!?"
Ellen was so excited that she could not speak coherently, "My Wakagudo family is going to have a new baby!? Fiona, my perfect Fiona, you are amazing! You are amazing!!"
Fiona was held in the arms of the excited Ellen and swayed around with him, which was both sweet and a little uneasy...
She hesitated and said: "But..."
"But what? Do you have any concerns?"
Fiona nodded. "After this child is born, what will his identity be...?"
"Of course he is the legitimate son of my Wakagudo family and the future heir to the title of Duke!" Ellen said matter-of-factly.
Fiona pushed Ellen away and said: "Only the son of the principal wife can be called a legitimate wife. I am just a common wife. In the eyes of outsiders, I may only be regarded as a concubine..."
"I wonder who dares to say that!"
Ellen became angry, and then returned to her gentle coaxing voice beside Fiona: "My dear, your sister has the support of my teacher, and her father personally arranged the marriage during his lifetime. The wedding was attended and witnessed by all the nobles in the South;
In addition, although she annoys me, she has never done anything outrageous. She has been diligently handling official affairs for the Southern Territory, and has prestige among the people and the army. If I divorce her, I will probably have no hope of replacing you as my wife.
Already..."
"I don't want the title of head wife..."
Fiona stretched out her slender hand to hook Ellen's neck. "After all, she and I have a sister relationship. Although we are not on good terms now, encouraging you to break up with her will really hurt the relationship.
I just think... after our child is born, if he can really inherit the family business, we don’t want to cause any criticism at that time..."
Fiona expressed her opinions as tactfully as possible.
Ellen frowned slightly, not understanding it very well, so she simply asked directly:
"Do you already have some ideas? But it doesn't matter."
Fiona spoke as cautiously as possible: "Both of our sisters have married you, the difference is just that one is equal and the other is equal. I think she and I are biological sisters after all...the same blood flows in our blood...I
There is not much difference between her child and her child...
So don’t divorce her, keep her as your legitimate wife, and accept her as your godmother after our son is born... She can also be your biological mother! In this way, our son will have the status of a legitimate son...?"
Ellen thought it was right at first glance!
Fiona continued: "If you think it's okay, I will sacrifice my face and ask my brother and father to persuade her. You don't need to come forward! ... Wait until she nods in agreement, then you can talk to Ronis
The teacher will just make a grand ceremony and transfer our son into her name, Elizabeth."
Not to mention that the relationship between Fiona, the biological sister, and Elizabeth was not harmonious, and the relationship between Ellen, the nominal husband, and Elizabeth was even more tense. When Ellen heard that there was no need to lower her face to beg Elizabeth in person, Ellen was instantly heartbroken.
He smiled and patted Fiona.
"You are becoming more and more aristocratic~! Hahahaha!!"
