"As you all can tell, today is a special day for many. So I would like to share something important with you all as well. Apart from the royal couple, there is another couple I would like to announce-my son, Alfred, and Lady Canarie."
Confusion filled the people at that declaration and they clapped out of their desire to not feel awkward.
But no matter how well they tried to hide it, the people could not figure out what was happening and why the Duke was telling them all this at such a time.
"Duke Inferno, now is not the time-"
Princess Danielle tried to interject but the Duke ignored her and continued to speak.
"Before you all question why I am telling you all this now, I would like to tell you the reason. As someone chosen by the goddess, Canarie has the right to choose the next emperor. That is the role given to her by the goddess and I have proof from the temple. As such, my son, whom she has chosen, now has the right to compete for the throne as well."
