──Anyway…
“It can’t be used.”
Luciano took off his jacket and begins to change clothes.
“Fly a dove to Conrad. Invite Teges to kill the knights of Armenia. Armenia would be more interested in getting back at them. It’s all about double payback. The pride of the Millennium Empire is so high that it’s amazing. First of all, let’s turn the whole of Serrat into Armenia’s territory.”
”But that is beyond the control of Conrad alone. No matter how much he works”
“I know, send ten of your fastest men. Miguel will be in charge. Within two months, we’ll have a skirmish and eventually, Armenia will crush Teges.” Leandro, with his thick eyebrows, interrupted the conversation between the two.
“Luciano, why within two months?”
Luciano, who had taken off all his clothes, wiped his body with a damp cloth.
“Because if you linger, something will happen to the queen. Armenia will become defensive like a turtle, even if the queen does something wrong. I can’t attack. If you look at the current state of this castle, you’ll know why.”
“You are going to poison the queen, right? Certainly, if the Queen is weakened, this country will be immobilised.”
Luciano denied Leandro, who seemed to have reached a point, says,
“No, I don’t intend to use poison.”
“Alana will conceive. The Queen of Armenia will give birth to a direct descendant of Serrat.”
It was no wonder that the two aides were shocked. They know Luciano’s horrific past and knew that it was sexually impossible. They knew that he had never been interested in women before the country was destroyed and that he had never been sexually excited. His dislike for women was to the core.
”With all due respect… you’re planning on having a child with the queen?”
“Needless to say.”
”Do you intend to keep the Queen alive? You want to make her the mother of Serrat?”
Luciano glared at the two who were against the idea.
“I want to kill Alana.”
“Of course. We know you think so too.”
“I’m sexually active with Alana. She may already be pregnant. Know that killing the queen now is killing my child. I won’t kill my child; I won’t let you kill him.”
“But…”
They wanted to argue it was unreasonable. Truthfully, they knew Luciano was also crazy. However, it was this Luciano who was most surprised by his own impulse. He also ridiculed his change of mind. Still, he did not stop talking in preventing Alana from being killed.
“Frian, you asked the Queen if she had ever met us, why?”
He was referring to the question of the day Frian first met Alana.
“I felt like I saw the Queen, that face ... somewhere. I can’t remember ...”
“Listen, Alana’s mother is Princess Bethania of Amoroso. In other words, she has the blood of Serrat. My grandmother’s sister was Bethania’s mother. My father and Bethania were cousins.”
Whatever he said, Luciano could not say his father’s words.
Luciano turned away from them and quickly wore his attire. The face of his father and the face of his mother when they were hung on the wall of the castle-, he could not forget the desperate faces of the two, sandwiching the body of his sister. And he could not forget the pitiful appearance of Mileia. Originally, the queen should have been torn to pieces with this hand and he should have sated his thirst for revenge.
──Father, mother, Mileia. Forgive me for keeping Alana alive. I can’t kill ...
When he wiped his eyes with his sleeves, the colour of the ultramarine fabric became darker. Frian and Leandro seemed unable to hide their confusion at Luciano’s story, but it was fortunate that they each turned down and did not look at this.
“Even if Alana has dirty savage blood, it’s true that half her body has Serrat’s blood in her veins. Suitable for the mother of my child. That is my judgment. Make the Queen of the Millennium Empire a tool to give birth to my child until her death. Don’t give them a break, and make them pay for it every year. This is revenge.”
Luciano looked up at Frian and Leandro.
“I don’t care about the black-haired and Lorenzo’s stone. There are priorities over that. Alana is being targeted by a faction of the dead prince. Don’t let my child be killed. But if you don’t agree with my words, fine, then come and kill her. However, don’t dream of living. I have a duty to protect my child. I am your opponent. You can kill Alana only after you kill me. Tell everyone. Obey or disobey me. Let them decide.”
Luciano wore his cloak, and holding his sword, promptly left the room.
