"Ava... Go back to your room for a second——"
"I don't need to."
As Ava quickly wiped her tears away before getting back up, Fredrick didn't try to pressure her again.
Instead, he turned his attention to the crowds of people standing by the door.
"Ahem, before I leave. I only have one last worry in this life, and that's who is going to inherit my title."
Everyone stood in silence, waiting for Fredrick to continue as he pulled out an envelope from his coat.
"The Great Guardian had already announced who will be leading this house next.
I want you all to respect and obey the decision made by the Great Guardian."
After the warning, Fredrick opened the envelope, taking out a small letter from it.
"Fredrick Reid, the Grand Duke of Regina, will abdicate his position as the Grand Duke to his daughter.
Katherine Reid will be the Duchess of Regina... Her sister Amelia Reid will be the next successor in line, signed Sarah Reid."
