Chapter 130 - Only one condition

 

To be a member of the royal family of Kaistein instead of a cardinal.

Reclaiming what had been relinquished was never easy.

Nevertheless, Haverion was confident.

‘In the first place, I didn’t give it up because I wanted to. It was Duke Garcia and His Majesty who made it so.’

Haverion said to the First Princess.

“Please convey to His Majesty to restore my rightful position.”

“You think that’s possible?”

“It might be if I give up my position as cardinal.”

“Haverion… It’s really you…”

Of course, the First Princess was angry.

Being the heir to the throne was not something one could throw away and get back again on a whim.

The same was true for the cardinal position.

“Did you say that because you knew about the trouble you would bring?”

“Absolutely. If that were to occur, not only would there be pressure from the Holy Empire, but the public’s perception of the royal family would also be shaken. Undoubtedly, I would face severe criticism as well.”

“But why?!”

Surely, Haverion couldn’t have not known that.

Haverion was well aware of the future repercussions, so much so that he felt his stomach churning at the mere thought of it, but he didn’t care.

“Have you forgotten that it is this country that forces me to give up my position as cardinal of the Holy Empire?”

“…”

The king would have no choice but to accept his proposal.

Realizing this, the First Princess’s gaze hardened.

“Do you really have to go this far? If you give up your position as cardinal, the Holy Empire will not leave you be.”

“It was you and His Majesty who made me like this, as well as that damned youngest brat.”

If Haverion were to become the heir to the throne, he could get some leniency for his current crime.

Of course, it would come with a price, but that was a matter of no importance to him now.

Haverion asked coldly.

“You haven’t left yet?”

“Fine. I’ll convey your intentions to His Majesty. But remember, the youngest and I will never forget the blood you shed.”
