When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 41

Meanwhile, the nobles were busy talking inside the walls of the splendid mansion.

“Have you heard that the illegitimate girl is attending?”

A woman spoke from behind her fan.

“There was a reason why the venue of the banquet was changed to a larger one. We’ve all come to see it.”

The hall was 50 feet wider than the previously organized place, but it was still packed with people.

Women, with heavy lipstick painted on their lips, kept chatting only about one topic.

“This is the first time for the Ducal family to attend a gathering after escaping the stigma of treason. I never expected him to have an illegitimate child as his wife, but…… it’s a miracle in many ways.”

It was inevitable that the Duchess was the second most noble woman in the current state of the Empire.

This was because Prince Oscar did not yet receive the title of the Crown Prince.

“Haven’t you heard? According to Miss Rose Brumayer, it’s been one month since the Imperial Palace has reinstated the documents.”

Rose spread those false rumors to her advantage, while Laritte became known as an illegitimate child in luck.

The old lady nodded.

“No wonder there are too many unmarried young girls. He would surely go for a mistress in order to seek an heir.”

The group burst into laughter among themselves.

“Minya, you look so gorgeous. Which boutique is that dress from?”

Minya, the daughter of Marquis, smiled modestly.

“Not something to brag about…… but a new collection of Nicholas Boutique.”

She pretended she wasn’t, but she was proud inwardly.

That was the level she wanted.

When she heard the rumor that the Duke was attending, she begged her father to buy the dress for her.

It was the work of an assistant of the famous designer, but it glimmered as the finest quality of dress in the hall.

She could feel the envious gazes on her.

“Oh my God! Nicholas Boutique is the best in the Empire. It must be very expensive.”

“I’m so jealous of you, Lady Minya. The Duke would definitely fall for you.”

Minya shook her head.

“Oh my, how could you say that when the Duke is attending along with his wife? That’d be very disrespectful to her.”

But no one knew about Minya’s real intention, which was to apply to being a mistress to bear the Duke’s heir.

All the girls in Minya’s age were present for the Duke.

Then, Minya blurted out in the end.

“But of course, when the Duchess arrives, I’ll be sure to greet her……”

“That’s right. If you become his mistress, it will be difficult for the Duchess to attend the party. You should take this opportunity to show her around.”

“It’s almost time…… When will they arrive?”
