Chapter 251 One thankful thing for Frau was that his son wasn’t treated too poorly in the town where his late wife’s parents lived. The grandparents were firm believers in leading a quiet, almost hidden, life and Frau understood them. Frau himself was born into a wealthy noble family. He grew up as a young master with a comfortable life. When he gave up this for love and became a father, Frau finally could understand how his parents must’ve felt. His parents were adamantly against Frau marrying the…-

Story 19. Destroy the Gold Digger Chapter 250 Sir Howe repeated his brother’s words, “That’s right! That bastard was married, your highness!” “Married?” This was the first time the emperor heard about this. But the reality was, without the emperor’s permission, Frau, as a nobleman, could’ve never been officially married. This meant that at most, he lived with a woman for a while, but nothing more. As a man himself, Lucius the First did not think too much of Frau’s past experience with…

Chapter 249 Poliana put her shirt back on and stood up. Thankfully, Fra stopped trembling and Lucius the First smiled. He already took a step back and if he lost his smile now, this would mean he lost this round completely. From the moment he walked in, Lucius the First barely noticed Frau. His eyes were filled with the woman he loved. Poliana was smiling in happiness. She didn’t look like she was filled with an overwhelming sense of joy, but it was obvious that she was pleased. Her smile once made…

Chapter 248 Lucius the First shook his head, “No, that’s not why I haven’t proposed to her. Well, first, I have to admit that it was one of the main reasons, but not anymore. Stra, the moment I marry Marquess Winter, she will lose everything she had achieved so far.” Her honorable knighthood, wealth, lands, rank, and even her last name “Winter…” Lucius the First did not want the woman he loved to be unhappy. This was why he gave her up. The emperor continued, “I really want the marquess…

Chapter 247 What Lucius the First offered was something Tory couldn’t refuse. She straightened up slowly. With her lady-like posture and bright eyes, Tory didn’t have to say a word. The emperor said to her, “I cannot give you a title that is inheritable, but instead, I will give you a status that is fit for your position.” Tory did not have to ask the emperor how a woman could be given a position and an official status. This was because both of them knew that it was possible. It has already been…

Chapter 246 A woman could not own lands. This meant that the most Lucius the First could give Tory was money, which would be only too easy for someone to take if Tory did not have a male guardian. Perhaps the emperor would find her a male guardian, but she was the woman who betrayed her own family. Who would be kind and selfless enough to take care of her with good intent? If she wasn’t executed, Tory could imagine what kind of horrid and shameful life she would lead. Thinking of her future, Tory…

Chapter 245 At the same time when the emperor was thinking about Sir Deke, the said knight was stuck in the southern region. The three men, Sir Howe, Sir Donau, and Sir Deke, left the viceroy’s home on a mission given by the lady of the house. They were to save Poliana, the “unfortunate lady” who was about to be “used” by a gold digger. As soon as they set out, a heavy rain began to fall. The rain itself was not enough to stop these three brave knights, but another problem appeared because of…

Chapter 244 Lucius the First said to Poliana firmly, “So, you may say anything you want to me, Sir Pol. As long as it is not something that will hurt you, I am happy to hear whatever you want to say to me.” Poliana’s smile turned into a serious expression. What she was about to ask wasn’t something to take lightly. “Your highness, what will you do to Lady Tory?” ‘Oh, that.’ It was no wonder Poliana hesitated. She was asking about a family matter as well as a national matter. It made…

Chapter 243 “Your highness, he’s on probation.” “What?” “His wife belongs to one of the noble families that have been arrested recently. He put himself on probation, so he is off duty now.” Lucius the First touched his forehead in frustration. Perhaps this was one of the main reasons why he didn’t want to go on the snake hunt. Acreia was a huge land but its population was very small. This meant that the aristocratic population was even smaller. Most, if not all, Acreian knights were…

Chapter 242 Poliana said to Frau, “Something extreme and crazy happened alright.” “Extreme and crazy?!” “That’s right, it was incredible.” Poliana gazed at Frau. Now that she thought about it, Poliana realized that Duke Sneke was one of the nobles that were arrested tonight. ‘Hmm, I will have to tell them not to arrest Frau.’ The royal guards were busy arresting the guilty nobles as well as their family members, who were scattered all over the castle. Frau was kicked out from his…
