Josiah slapped a hand against his thigh, only now realizing that he had dug his own grave.

“B-Bro… Fredric, you’ve got to help me!” Josiah grimaced. “I never thought of stealing Z’s woman! Besides, my type isn’t pure and chaste women like Cordelia! Z probably has a loose screw or something to actually like this type of woman…”

Fredric sipped on some tea with a cryptic smile. Yeah, he had never known that the cold, brutal third heir of the Hamertons, who had always stayed away from women, had not only become Marcus Grist but had actually made an effort for a girl like Cordelia Jenner.

“Didn’t Z say that he isn’t bothered by the marriage? He’s just using it to hide his identity…”

“And you believe what he said?” Fredric rolled his eyes at Josiah. “Just wait and see. I don’t think things are as simple with Cordelia. Heh, who knows if Z will want to return to Centrolis when the time comes!”
