Chapter 254: Lambert Visits
"Marquees? The Duke’s son?" Talia asked for clarification. She never bothered with these details so much in the past. If she wanted to do something against that family, she needed to know them better.
"Yes, he is the first wife’s son and King George only allowed titles for his half brother and sister after making the first son - Walter, the Heir to the Dukedom. Walter is not as bad as Asher and he is his own man with his own business," Lady Jolene explained.
" Oh... " Talia felt like it wouldn’t be fair to involve the brother in this." So what can we get against the Duke? "
" Come on! You’re the Princess. Can’t you send a summon and order them to do something? " Lady Jolene asked. She wondered why a Princess must gather details before doing anything.
"It doesn’t work that way anywhere, dear. Unfortunately, anything good don’t come easy! And let’s make the Duke pay what he owes to the public too... " Talia said with a smirk.
If only everything was that easy! And throwing away one Lord Asher wasn’t enough for her. She wanted his father who enabled his son to become such an entitled arsehole to get punished too. For that she needs a lot of proof.
" I have a bunch of complaint letters against the Duke from the people," Lady Celine said after deliberating with herself for a while.
"Really? Where?" Talia was intrigued.
"In here..." Lady Celine tapped her finger over her temple and both Talia and Jolene were intrigued.
Turns out, Lady Celine had what they call a photographic memory and she could remember everything she read as it is for a long time. Since she liked to read to pass time, she once had accidentally read the complaint letters addressed to the Palace that her brother who was an intern in the Department of Justice brought home one day.
Lady Celine offered to bring notes of everything she read about the Duke of Luxxenshire even though Talia felt like she’d be over worked.
