(Risel’s POV) Talks About the Future Between the King and the Chancellor
“Considering the aforementioned, is there any objection to officially issuing the decree on the specified date?”
The multiple nobles sitting at the round table nodded in silence.
Risel looked at the faces of everyone sitting at the round table, where only one seat was empty, and nodded.
“Then, with this, let’s conclude the meeting. Thank you for your hard work.”
Each of them bowed deeply to Risel before leaving their seats. The vassals left the room, discussing their respective roles regarding the matters that had just been decided.
Risel, who had been watching the scene, also stretched widely. The lengthy meeting had made his body sluggish, especially considering the recent string of meetings to establish the new regime.
Suddenly, he glanced at the vacant seat that had remained unoccupied for a while. The person who should have been sitting there was reportedly bedridden due to the stress of the recent event.
Whether it was a feigned illness or a genuine ailment, he couldn’t be sure.
“I guess it’s about time…”
He muttered to himself.
In just a few days, it’s said that Risel has acquired a much more regal demeanor befitting the future king.
However, Risel knows the reason behind it.
It’s because of Marie’s presence.
He feels as if he’s invincible now that he’s become someone special and deeply loved by the person he holds dear in his heart.
He smiles wryly as he recalls a story from the past about how his father had a big attitude in front of his beloved Tia.
Even though he hates him, his father is still his father. Perhaps there are some similarities after all.
“Can you please prepare a carriage?”
The attendant beside him nodded.
“I will be visiting Duke Rose.”
Reynaldo, also known as Duke Rose, has a villa in the capital. His dwelling, located in the outskirts, is modest, considering his frequent travels between the capital and his estate, so it’s unlikely that anyone would think a duke lives there.
A carriage adorned with the lion crest, symbolizing the king, came to a halt in front of the mansion, and residents living nearby watched from a distance.
Disregarding the attention, Risel stepped down from the carriage and announced himself to the butler who came rushing out from the entrance.
“Please inform Duke Reynaldo that I have arrived.”
The butler, looking genuinely surprised, hurried towards his master. After a while, a servant appeared to guide him inside.
The interior was dim, and the number of servants was kept to a minimum.
Nevertheless, the guest room he was guided to was immaculate, showcasing the owner’s excellent taste.
Furthermore, the tea served was of a rare kind.
As Risel was lost in thought about the flawless surroundings, he heard the door open with a faint sound.
“It’s been a while, Your Highness Risel. Please forgive me for welcoming you in such a shabby state as I’ve been unwell for some time.”
“No need to worry. I apologize for intruding while you were indisposed.”
Without a doubt, Reynaldo looked a lot more haggard than usual.
He seems to have lost some weight, and there are dark circles under his eyes. His clothes still maintain an air of elegance, even though it’s changed into casual wear, but his hair is slightly disheveled.
There wasn’t the slightest hint of the ‘Icy Duke’ as he is usually called, and Risel struggled to hold back a comment.
He drank some tea to compose himself and waited for Reynaldo to sit down.
“I said I would visit you, but when do you think you’ll fully recover?”
“….”
Reynaldo is silent.
Risel witnessed Duke Reynaldo, the same Reynaldo he knew, in such a downtrodden state for the first time.
Alberto was the one who initially updated him on Reynaldo’s situation.
After the rebellion concluded, Risel conveyed the announcement of the innocence of his former master, Rosemary, and he came to express his gratitude.
Alberto had also sworn revenge alongside Reynaldo for Rosemary. However, Risel thought he couldn’t embody the same level of cold ruthlessness as Reynaldo.
As the son of their enemy, Risel, who had experienced that very hostility directed towards himself, understood.
Alberto was genuinely delighted to be able to alleviate the regret of his former master, Rosemary.
…. Imagine if Alberto could learn that Marie is the reincarnation of Rosemary.
