The Path Of My Lustful Life

I continued to walk towards the dining room under the curious gazes of the servants, as I walked I came upon a window showcasing several soldier's training

At the forefront was a handsome middle aged man with brown hair and brown eye's, he was standing at the forefront training the soldiers , as a military family, my family has got it's own private army

'Mark huh?'

The one leading the training was a newly appointed leader, he seemed to have racked merits in the military before coming here

As for why he came to join as an instructor, it seems that he has a liking for my mother, thou he hasn't confessed yet, it's an open secret

'What should I do?'

As much of a bastard I am I have not reached a level were I would kill a guy because he likes my mother, thou I am a bastard who would do everything to prevent it

After watching for a few more minutes I continued on my path, I soon reached the dinning room where my mother was aleady seated, she looked prim and proper like a real noble lady

"Looks like you had a good rest"

"Yes indeed, I was able to get a burden of my chest"

My mother looked confused for a moment, trying to understand the hidden meaning in my word's

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing, I just meant that I was able to sleep happily"

Though still dubious, my mother decided the forget the issue for now and focus on the food, we continued to eat our food as we talked with each other

"Mother is there someone pressurizing our Duchy?"

My question caused her to freeze for a moment before she spoke again

"What makes you think that?"

"Well for starters the rumors around me seems to increase without any stop, there's also the increase in the crime in the Duchy, there's also the fact that I too have my own information system"

"Sigh.....you really have grown"

My mother had a tender and proud look as she said those words

"It's the other three Duchy"

"I see....is it after you started implementing those methods I said to you?"

"Indeed"

Sigh.....I should have known, even during the times I was on my travel's, I had kept contact with my mother and the rest

So I had periodically sent her ways to improve the Duchy, I am no master at development but I do come from a more civilized era

It was not hard to present some ideas to improve the Duchy further but it looks like that had struck the chord of the other Dukedoms

"What does uncle have to say about this?"

Juat when I mentioned the Emperor, I could see that my mother's face tightening up, It seems that something had happened

"Is there something wrong?"

I could see my mother hesitating but in the end she sighed as she spoke

"Well I suppose you would find it out anyway, it seems that my brother want's the suppression"

When my mother said those words I could hear her fury In it but I was relatively calm as I spoke

"It's because of me isn't it?"

"Yes....but you don't have to worry, he would have to go to a war if my brother wants to do anything"

I could see a cold look in my mother's face as she spoke these words, of course I expected this, how could the Emperor sit still when he know that there might potentially be someone there that might overshadow his daughter

I am sure that my aunt is an existence that brings a lot of stress to the Emperor, adding on to me, who was born into the same family with talent that seems to surpass my aunt, you can expect that he might be scared

Even if I have royall blood in me, it doesn't mean that the other side isn't dangerous, I shook my head to het rid of those depressing thoughts, looking at my mother I asked

"Mother, why don't we go on a date tommorrow?"

"A date?"

My mother was surprised as she looked at me suspiciously

"what I mean is that why don't we go out tomorrow and tour the Duchy ourselves, it's been some years since you spend some quality time for yourself, don't you remember what I said you, even you require happiness"

My mother though for a bit before she spoke again

"Sure, it's indeed been sometime that I went out for a picnic"

Seeing that she had agreed I smiled mischievously, let's see how you would be able to remain stoic after you had a good dream, I laughed as I eat my food and headed to my room
