THIS IS A SPACE WHERE ANYONE CAN ENTER... THEN WE MIGHT END UP DOING IT IN THE HALLWAY, IS THAT ALRIGHT? I DON'T THINK I CAN HOLD BACK FOR EVEN THAT BRIEF MOMENT. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED, ISN'T IT? DOING AS I PLEASE REGARDLESS OF YOUR INTENTION. DON’T BITE YOUR LIPS. A CLOUDLESS WINTER SKY SPARKLES DAZZLINGLY. LOOKING AT THAT SCENERY, BLAIR HAD A SIMILAR THOUGHT AS WELL. NOW IT DOESN’T MATTER ANYMORE. NOW, IF IT IS WHAT HE WANTS. ARE YOU AFRAID OF ME? YOU ARE BRAINWASHING ME AS IF YOU WERE A PERSON TERRIFIED THAT I MIGHT FIND OUT THE TRUTH, AREN'T YOU? ...MY, HOW CHEEKY HE IS. MARGRID. YES, YOUR MAJESTY. I NEED TO PLANT SOMEONE IN THE DELMARK DUCAL HOUSE. I AM CURIOUS ABOUT HOW BLAIR IS DOING. I AM WORRIED TOO. COUGH. COUGH! COUGHING ...CRAZY BASTARD. COUGHING... THIS MEDICINE IS... WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS AGAIN... WHAT WAS THAT JUST NOW? HMNMM... IT SEEMS MY MENTAL STATE IS CONSIDERABLY SCATTERED. SEEING ILLUSIONS AND SUCH, DURING THE NEW YEAR'S FESTIVAL AS WELL. YES, IT'S NOTHING FOR HER TO MIND. BECAUSE IT WAS A LIFE OF MINDING THINGS. ROUGHLY SPEAKING, THAT IS. A FEW DAYS LATER HIS GRACE IS STILL IN THE BEDROOM. ...IT HAS BEEN SINCE THE DAY I WAS KICKED OUT OF THE OFFICE, RIGHT? HIS IDLING AROUND IN MADAM'S BEDROOM. THEN I WAS GLAD THINKING I GOT TIME TO REST, THOUGH. HOW ABOUT ADJUSTING THE COMMUTING HOURS FOR THE TIME BEING? IT IS A NEWLYWEDS' PERIOD AFTER ALL. IT IS FINE. THE TIME I COMMUTE IS FIXED AS WELL... WELL, HE WILL DRINK AND BE LIKE THAT, WON'T HE? HIS GRACE, WHO NEVER DID SO IN HIS LIFE, TAKING AN INTEREST IN A WOMAN. SINCE IT IS A FAMILY WHERE DESCENDANTS ARE PRECIOUS, IT SHOULD NATURALLY BE SOMETHING TO REJOICE ABOUT, BUT... AS EXPECTED, THE FACT THAT SHE IS KATRINA'S DAUGHTER IS... GOOD MORNING, YOUR GRACE. TO THINK YOU WOULD COME TO THE DRAWING ROOM INSTEAD OF THE OFFICE... IS THIS THE MAGIC ORE MINE DEVELOPMENT MATTER SPOKEN OF BACK THEN? YES, YOU JUST NEED TO REVIEW IT BY TODAY AND APPROVE IT. AND THIS IS SOMETHING I CULLED OUT THINKING IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU TO REVIEW TOGETHER. YOUR GRACE, AS ALWAYS YOU WILL HANDLE IT WELL ON YOUR OWN, BUT... STILL, JUST IN CASE. BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER. ARE YOU TELLING ME TO BE ON GUARD AGAINST WHETHER BLAIR MIGHT HIDE A DAGGER AND STAB ME? AS IF YOUR GRACE WOULD FALL FOR SUCH A SLOPPY ATTACK. WHAT I MEAN IS... CONTRACEPTION. BECAUSE THE IMPERIAL FAMILY MIGHT BE WAITING FOR MADAM TO BEAR DELMARK'S SUCCESSOR. THINKING THAT IF A DELMARK SUCCESSOR IS BORN, THEY MIGHT EVEN KILL ME ONCE I BECOME USELESS? IT'S NOT THAT I HAVE HARD FEELINGS TOWARD MADAM, BUT THE IMPERIAL FAMILY IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BREED, ISN'T IT? THAT WON'T HAPPEN. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — I Only Need the Duke's Child #32](/series/i-only-need-the-duke-s-child-t7h7gek5/chapter-32-cnjy4h) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/i-only-need-the-duke-s-child-t7h7gek5 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
