The Duchess, who most people who know her, are displaying an attitude that is truly unimaginable.

As they watched her openly swear at her husband, Katlena and Zeros began to feel quite embarrassed for a moment.

First of all, from Katlena’s perspective, it was surprising that her mother, who had always been like an angel, would say something like that.

In Zero’s case, I was surprised that she, who rarely gets angry at her family, threw away her usual dignity and became so angry.

But, crucially, this situation shocked them.

This is because this scene was not present in the previous life, nor in the original work.

‘What the… What the… In my previous life, my mother was clearly saddened by my father’s decision and expressed her opposition with tears, but why this time…’

‘That Duchess Rosetta expresses her anger without any filter? If I remember correctly, I’ve never seen such a scene in the original work…’

This moment in the original work that Zeros knew was also the same as what Katlena had experienced.

At that point, the Duchess did not take a firm stance at all, and rather felt a bit dragged along, trying to dissuade her husband but failing.

‘I knew it would turn out that way, of course. But, whatever the reason, if things turn out this way, maybe there’s a little hope for the future?’

To be honest, when the talk of a successor came out of the Duke’s mouth, the emotion Zeros felt was deep despair.

A declaration that virtually crushed the last hope he had.

Although Zeros and Katlana had developed a close, affectionate relationship, they had not yet begun to persuade her about the successor issue.

It seems that there was still quite a bit of time left compared to the original, and it would not be easy for her, who was still young, to fully understand this, but… Sam, those detailed thoughts ended up being a hindrance.

While he was halfway giving up on life with such deep regret, a fierce backlash from Rosebeta erupted that was quite different from what he had expected, and Zeros began to see a tiny possibility of survival in it.

‘In the original, they stalled for time here and then made a hasty decision… but in this situation, maybe.’

Zeros starts to cheer on Duchess Rosebetta with all his heart.

But.. apart from his encouragement.

“!”

“Huh!”

The next moment, a tingling sensation spread throughout my body.

A terrifying murderous aura emanating from the Duchess’s body, even though they were not the target.

Zeros and Katlena began to feel their bodies stiffen as the waves of magical power rippled with blood.

‘This… This… No matter what, it’s not a joke, is it?’

Roseveta, who gives a heart-wrenching pressure just by making a sound and releasing magical power, without using any magic.

This terrifying power that they feel even when they are not the target.

Then, Katlena and Zeros unconsciously hugged each other’s bodies and began to retreat to the corner of the room, trembling with fear.

Rosebetta, who drives her husband in front of her with unstoppable anger

There were several reasons why her originally passive attitude toward the successor issue changed so dramatically.

One is that the time period was two years earlier than in the original.

Rosebetta has always tried to improve the relationship between her eldest daughter and her husband, and will continue to do so.

However, although she didn’t show it much, she was also human and was gradually growing tired of this, and it was two years later that she finally reached her limit.

Even as a fully grown adult, Elios ended up distancing himself from his father, and her husband still looked down on his daughter, causing Rosebetta to give up on reconciling the two.

When the talk about a successor came up, I was against it, but on the other hand, I had no choice but to accept it to some extent.

However, at this point, she had not yet given up, and to her, deciding on Radu’s successor was an act that would completely ruin anything that was still possible.

Naturally, this was a situation that would make Rosetta, who had put in countless efforts, explode with anger.

And, another reason for her anger.

That was because, just as she had always hoped, the relationship between her daughters, whom she had borne through pain, and Katlena had improved noticeably.

Although she was a child who was adopted semi-forcibly after her mother died of illness, Rosebetta still considered Katlena her own daughter and raised her, and naturally, she fervently hoped that her own daughters would regard her as their own younger sibling.

And her wish was gradually becoming reality as coincidences she was unaware of overlapped, and so Rosebetta began to feel hope and joy about the current situation…

Radu’s declaration of succession was an act so terrible that it could even shatter her dreams.

The appointment of Katlena’s successor would soon send the sisters’ relationship, which had barely improved, into the abyss.

In this way, Rosetta could no longer remain quiet as her husband threw away two things that she absolutely could not compromise on like an old pair of shoes.

Eventually, it came to the point where her true nature, which had been dormant, was brought out.

*

Duke Radu is directly hit by the incredible anger of the woman in front of him.

He felt quite embarrassed by his wife’s reaction, which was more dramatic than he had thought, but he shouted in a firm voice without losing his momentum as much as possible.

“I am the current monarch of this country! Can’t I choose my successor as I please? For the sake of this country’s future, it is right for the successor to be Katlena!”

Duke Radu speaks confidently in front of Rosebetta, who is emitting magical power that is overflowing with a terrifying murderous intent.

However, his words only started to further inflame Rosebetta’s anger.

“Do whatever you can.. If you want to see this country split in two, I’ll do it!”

“Huh!..”

Duke Radu, who was gradually becoming overwhelmed by the pressure of magical power that was becoming too much for his body to handle, also released magical power to defend himself.

Although the magical power emanating from his body was relatively weak compared to that of Roseveta, he continued speaking without taking an inch of step back.

“No matter what you say, I have no intention of changing my mind. Are you going to split the country in two? Go ahead and do it if you can! It’s better than turning this land into a sea of blood!”

“A sea of blood? You didn’t even think about the tears of blood falling from that child’s eyes. Have you ever thought about what that child’s heart must be like? The heart of that child who has only looked at this since the moment he became wise!”

“Don’t get caught up in such petty feelings… ”

At that moment…

“Ah.. I don’t want to do it.”

It cuts through the arguments between the two people with a sharp knife.

small voice.

“!”

“ㅁ..what?”

At this, the two people felt embarrassed and gathered their swirling magic power, and then the child who was the originator of the voice and the center of this argument..

I looked at Katlena’s face

“Ka..Katlena? What..just now..”

“I.. just don’t want to do it.”

He spoke in a voice that seemed to be crawling, with tears streaming down his face, completely terrified.

Her words were so desperate.

At this, the Duke had a blank expression as if he had been hit on the head with a hammer.

On the other hand, Duchess Rosetta remained silent for a moment, her expression quite complicated.

And then, after a short moment of gathering her thoughts, Rosebetta carefully knelt down in front of her daughter and slowly began to ask her questions.

“Baby.. Really.. You don’t like it?”

“shi… I don’t like it.. I just don’t want to do things like peacocking.. I don’t want to live every day buried in work like my father and mother.. Katlena will never live such a boring and difficult life in the future.. And I don’t want to see my mother and father fighting like this because of it..”

“Ah… .”

My daughter’s words were a bit disjointed, but at the same time, they struck home.

The Duke must have been quite hurt by his daughter’s unexpected counterattack, because he staggered out of the room without saying a word.

And, looking at her husband’s back, Rosebetta felt a strange sense of triumph and regret at the same time, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

‘Certainly… it’s gotten more serious recently. Living life buried in work…’

As she thought that, she regained her composure and began to think about what would happen next.

As for the issue related to the next project, she thought that it was necessary to tie up the matter firmly now that the topic had been brought up.

And that moment.

Katlena, despite her outward appearance of terrified sobbing, was once again silently shouting out the words she had been shouting out endlessly since the mention of the successor.

‘F*ck!!!!!’
