Chapter 997: Volume 32 Dark Clouds Sweep Across - 15 Seed of Desire
Although Vero’s feelings toward him seemed somewhat cold, Komer knew it was the girl’s pride and reserve causing this. As long as he showed a moderate amount of sincerity, Komer believed that his relationship with Vero would soon return to what it once had been.
The problem did not lie there. Renta’s aggressive demeanor had become strikingly apparent after she took over Poznan and Silesia. This woman knew how to leverage the situation, and with the backing of the Anson family and the Romanov family’s blood relations, along with her own capabilities, the local noble bumpkins in Poznan and Silesia had long been conquered by Renta’s proud and slightly audacious demeanor.
Renta seemed to be living luxuriously, even more successfully than him, the true lord. However, only Komer and Renta themselves knew that without Komer, Renta would be nothing—no one would take a woman without real power seriously. If it weren’t for the subtle underlying connection of a betrothal with him behind Renta, Komer believed Renta’s status would be no different than Tracy’s. Fortunately, Renta was well aware of her true position and never overstepped her bounds; her performances were indeed commendable and deserving of praise. Komer had to admit that without Renta, Poznan and Silesia, and even Homer, would not be as calm as they were currently.
Renta and Vero, and now adding Furina, Komer indeed felt a bit headache. If Renta and Furina were largely about political marriages, Vero certainly did not fit under this label; Komer did not want this term to tarnish the relationship between him and Vero.
How great it would be if Vero were like Eve or Grace, or even like Finitz from another race. But now, it seemed he must make a choice, any kind of which would bring about many negative effects. Even without Vero, it was the same, so Komer simply set it aside and didn’t think about it. If it weren’t for Puber, that old crow letting it slip, Komer might even think he could keep dragging his feet indefinitely.
Noticing that Komer seemed a bit distracted, Puber secretly shook his head. Such romantic entanglements should be a source of pride for anyone, but facing the Boss, they seemed to have turned into a vexing problem. A man should not have so many misgivings, acting on one’s desires is the true nature of a man—alas, the Boss seemed never to see through this.
