Chapter 118: The Next Heir!
Olivia only smiled and did not reply until she had brought them to their chambers. She closed the door, brought her and took out the basin. They filled it with warm water and then wiped their face.
Leo and Abi looked ashen. So she washed them well and changed their clothes one by one. She pulled Leo in front of the mirror and combed his hair.
"Leo, do you want to be the next heir?" she watched his expressions intently in the mirror. But at the same time, she did not gazed at him directly. As if she was only leisurely smiling at him.
Leo bit his lips. The maids had told him he must be the next heir. His mother had repeated the same words hundreds of times.
While Damon always claimed that he would be the next heir. Though he did not say those words directly to him, he always said in his presence so that Leo would be aware of his position.
But none of them had ever left the decision on him. But it was much better, at least he never felt perplexed. Now that he had to decide, he was at loss.
"I do not know." Olivia smiled at him and patted his shoulders, not at all irked that he could not decide his future.
"Leo, you are too young. Even if you want to be the heir, you have to be trained for it first. So in the meantime, Damon is bound to fill that position. But if you claim it and fight for the position of Duke, an internal strife would start. Think about your decision carefully.
The duke is not here to protect you or Abi anymore. Sister is sick too. Your decision would decide our future. But if you choose to fight for the position of duke, I would do anything to get it for you." she did not press him to give it up or accept it.
