When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 26

There were many orphans who found shelter in the Dukedom and served the Duke of Reinhardt.

There was also a maid who used to steal to fill her stomach before she joined the Duke.

Even the Counts of the Empire couldn’t find such unconventional employees.

Be kind to our hard-working servants!

This was the creed of Selena, Ian’s mother, whenever she found out that some of the Duke’s family members were criticizing them.

But, Redra Reikla……

“You were the one who took care of the maids who suffered the most, weren’t you, Count Reikla?”

That’s why it seemed unexpected for her to oppose it.

“And besides, Laritte was the one who saved my life.”

Even Redra couldn’t deny it.

It was fine for an employee to have a humble origin. It didn’t matter if they were an orphan or a criminal since they are now faithful to the Duke with all their heart.

However, it was unusual for an illegitimate child to sit beside the Duke of Reinhardt.

It was obvious that if she gave birth to a child with the Duke, bad rumors would start to haunt them for generations.

“But, an illegitimate girl cannot be a Duchess. You know that, don’t you, Captain……? There must be plenty of other ways to compensate her, aren’t there?”

Ian was the only one to whom she was loyal and for whom she could sacrifice her life.

However, this time, she was opposing him.

The family of Count Reikla was closely related to the Duke. And thus, they had served under the Duke’s command for hundreds of years.

But, this time, Count Reikla could not follow Ian’s decision.

Besides, that illegitimate woman must have had a hard time being the bride of Ian, she thought.

A Duchess’s life was not only about eating well in a mansion. A Duchess had to have the utmost will to fight.

“……..”

Ian’s eyes coldly gazed at her, but he was not angry. Soon, he stepped past her.

“I allow you to leave my Knighthood. So that you wouldn’t have to be criticized anywhere.”

The family of Count Reikla was rich enough to stand on its own feet thanks to the Duke.

Anyway, her Captain never hastened to set his mind.
