Chapter 82: Want Me to Go?
"I know, I know. You think I am insane... But, it’s something I have to do." She drooped a bit. She had been carrying around this worry for so long. She was afraid of all the problems she caused her dad.
She wanted to share some of his burdens and deal with the problems that arose because of her.
"If it’s something my lady has to do, then I am at her service."
Adeline smiled at him. She felt relieved. She could finally share her plans with someone instead of bottling up her worries.
Adeline leaned closer and made sure her voice was quiet, "I am here to expose the Duke. He has an illegitimate son, the Duchess is barren. He hopes to get the Duchess to adopt his son without her knowing the child is his."
Dimitri frowned. He understood that what was happening was bad, but why was Adeline doing this all alone and by herself? How did she even come across this secret in the first place?
"He plans to let his child inherit everything. He is a power-hungry man that has to be stopped. And..." Sensing the question that Dimitri had she continued, "The Goddess asked me to do this."
Dimitri frowned and nodded. He understood but he felt this was too dangerous. He thought the same as her. A man who dared to do this would do anything to make sure his scheme wasn’t uncovered.
He had heard about the fight between her and her father when she went to the Northern Duchy... The Marquess did not hide his disdain towards the Goddess.
