Dad, I will Listen to you - Chapter 13
Chapter 13
Not long after staying in the imperial palace, an edict was issued permitting the marriage of the Second Prince and Elia.
Karl, holding the paper delivered by the emperor's aide, let out a soft chuckle.
"Please convey my deepest gratitude to His Majesty."
With that, he prepared to return to his estate. Having obtained what he desired, there was no longer any reason to remain in the imperial palace.
However, it was none other than the Emperor's aide who stopped Karl.
"His Highness Leopold wishes to see you."
Karel smiled faintly as he met the cold gaze of the aide, who seemed to be a loyal servant of the Second Prince. To have the emperor's aide on his side—it wasn't a bad choice.
Only, it was too late.
It was clear what Leopold wanted to say to Karl. He rose from his seat.
"Lead the way. And you might want to be more careful with your expressions. It's obvious what you're thinking. Anyone can tell who your master is."
Karl's cold remark caused the aide, who was walking ahead, to flinch slightly.
As expected, staying in the imperial palace was exhausting. Karl adjusted his loosely tied necktie and straightened his attire. His mood, which had been buoyed by the thought of seeing Elia, soured at the aide's insolent attitude.
That said, he had no intention of refusing to meet the Second Prince. After all, he was soon to become the husband of a noble bastard.
Karl willingly agreed. He also needed to stomp out any foolish ideas the "seed-sower" might have.
He knew better than anyone that Leopold harbored ambitions for power.
This was the problem with an incompetent eldest son—it gave the second son foolish ideas.
But Leopold didn't seem to have the courage to kill anyone. That's why the First Prince had been allowed to live until his appointment as Crown Prince. Unlike Karl.
Karl sat down and stared intently at Leopold. He studied his face carefully—the blue eyes symbolizing royalty, and the sharp, calculating demeanor. Karl lifted his teacup.
No courage to kill, yet craving the throne—.
Karl smirked crookedly, one corner of his lips lifting.
"I greet the Second Prince. I hear you requested this meeting."
"I heard. That I am to marry your daughter."
Karl's arrogant demeanor made the emperor's aide flinch, his hand trembling slightly. How pitiful. Once the Second Prince became his son-in-law, he would be beneath Karl.
Leopold's face stiffened slightly, but he seemed well aware of this fact and said nothing.
"That is correct."
Leopold's mouth opened and closed. He seemed to want to say more, his lips twitching. But Karl had no intention of listening. Besides, it was obvious what he was going to say.
With the fire now at his feet, he would likely try to kill the Crown Prince. But without a concrete plan, he would probably ask to delay the marriage.
"You don't seem too pleased with the current situation."
"How could I possibly be displeased with His Majesty's decree? It's not that."
Karl chuckled at the feeble excuse and crossed his legs.
"Even if you're not satisfied with marrying my daughter now, once you taste Elia, you'll change your mind."
Leopold's thoughts came to a halt at the vulgar words that struck his ears. He blinked, unable to fully comprehend what he had just heard.
The emperor's aide reacted before Leopold could.
"How dare you speak so crudely in such a place!"
Leopold, clutching his throbbing head, stopped him. He was utterly confused.
"A bastard daughter is more likely to carry another man's child unless you plug her up with your co¢k. Now that she's tasted it, you'll need to give her even more."
"...I don't need that kind of advice."
"As your future father-in-law, I'm just letting you know. How much Elia craves a man's co¢k. How tightly she clenches and moans when you give it to her."
Leopold's face turned deathly pale.
"Shouldn't you be concerned about your future wife's chastity? If she ends up carrying another man's child, what's the point of you being the seed-sower? Since you'll have nothing to do once you become my son-in-law, why not make fu¢king Elia your main occupation?"
"One more word, and I'll rip out your tongue."
Leopold slammed his fist on the table. The insult was beyond extreme. His eyes, burning with rage, locked onto Karl.
"I never intended to treat her as a wife in the first place. Hearing your words, I'm already losing interest before even meeting her."
Despite Leopold's furious outburst, Karl remained utterly composed. The smile had completely vanished from his face.
"When you enter the Arost family, it would be best to leave your royal authority and pride behind. I have no intention of treating you as royalty."
Karl stood up.
"I knew you were shameless, but I didn't expect it to this extent."
"Would a shameless man like me dare to look down on royalty as the husband of a bastard?"
Leopold was stunned by Karl's words.
'I've been outplayed.'
Leopold's face twisted in frustration. He hadn't even been able to begin his argument before being completely overwhelmed by Karl.
"If you have nothing more to say, I'll take my leave now."
With those final words, Karl left the office.
