I had the slimes investigate the matter of Duke Mercœur’s daughter, Lady Adele. All they were able to tell me was “Lady Adele didn’t do anything.”

The problem was with Prince Mael. It seemed that he favored his commoner mistress, Victoria, and wanted to marry her instead, which had meant pushing Lady Adele aside.

I did some research on the woman named Victoria. She was the daughter of Maxim Maillart, president of Fastoux Trading. The man was a world-famous merchant, but I had heard several unsavory rumors about him before. To make matters worse, Victoria’s mother—Maxim Maillart’s ex-wife—was a criminal who sold illegal drugs. Prince Mael couldn’t be in his right mind if he was thinking of bringing a woman of such questionable lineage into the royal family.

If I’d been one of the country’s leaders, I would’ve disinherited Prince Mael and his mistress and inaugurated Prince Axel as king instead. Prince Axel—bearer of the title of dragon duke—was the most skilled swordsman in the country and the commander of the knights. He had spoken with me at the soiree because we were fellow monster dukes.

Prince Axel was a perfect man in every way: handsome, courteous, pure of heart, and virtuous in both speech and actions. He was the complete opposite of me, and the sense of inferiority stabbed at my heart. Prince Axel had shown me respect. And he had easily done what I had failed to. When Lady Adele’s engagement had been revoked, Prince Axel had told Prince Mael not to treat Duke Mercœur’s daughters badly. To be honest, he had been very dashing. If I had been a woman, I would have fallen for him. As a monster duke, I was also permitted to speak out when the royal family did something wrong. However, my trembling legs and hoarse voice had prevented me from doing so.

Lady Francette, the woman whose kindness I would never forget, must have been deeply scarred from that incident. Duke Mercœur’s assets and even his manor had been seized. From what I’d heard, he was now living a modest life in the old part of the capital.

Wibble finally found their house for me, and I tried to take a look, only for a duck in the yard to clamor wildly at me. It was so fierce, I ran away. A guard duck instead of a guard dog... How terrifying.
