Chapter 354: Enlightenment (1)
The day after I returned to the country, I was summoned straight to the estate of Duke Visconti.
I thought the Duke would ask me again to bring his great-grandson into his arms, but the one who called me was someone unexpected.
It was my father-in-law, Alfred de Visconti.
Why on earth did he summon me? Had something happened to the ducal family?

At first glance, my father-in-law seemed full of worries and concerns.
His complexion was somewhat pale, there were dark circles under his eyes, and he even appeared slightly gaunt.
As far as I knew, the ducal family was facing no misfortunes, only good tidings.
Could it be that the Duke had fallen seriously ill?
A few years ago, he manipulated the family register to marry a sixth cousin, and I had heard that recently he had impregnated a woman of Erika's age...
'Perhaps it's his time, given his age.'
"There is prosperity and continuous flourishing in our family, but there is one concern that does not leave my heart." "Is it a personal concern?" "Yes, and you are the only one I can confide in. It's a concern I cannot discuss with anyone else." "If necessary, I am willing to employ even the dirtiest methods."
