Chapter 491: Custody
"We shall take our leave then," Arabella said her goodbyes, and Dimo only waved goodbye to his father.
The knights and maids who witnessed everything were left wondering what just happened. They were not sure it was the right thing. But they could do nothing about it.
Sonia and the Head Butler thought that in case Dimo tried to return in the future, they could eliminate him then.
As they watched Dimo leave with Arabella and Ferdinand, they thought that they had succeeded in at least delaying Dimo from speaking in person with the Duke, so that the truth about them would not get out.
They did not know that in the following days, they would get what was due for them.
Meanwhile, the knights and maids were worried that Dimo may never come back. They feared that Dimo might accidentally cause a scene in Valeria since it’s a foreign place to him and may end up getting executed.
They wondered if they should tell their families to shift their support to the Brent faction since Dimo may never come back.
However, since Dimo is very much well-behaved if he’s not emotional, he may return and become an important connection between Olivier and Valeria.
Olivier could become more powerful than other duchies by maintaining a healthy relationship with Valeria.
And if Dimo was the one making that connection, his value greatly increases aside from just his bloodline and rightful claim as the declared heir.
But due to all the negative rumors about Ferdinand, they feared that Dimo might not survive in Valeria.
