The next day, when Neonidas woke up, he quickly headed to the bathroom. Last night, he had learned that Elenora was pregnant, and honestly, it was good news. After all, he was planning to bring down several duchies soon, and those lands would need to be governed.
Neonidas' plan was simple: to strengthen his dynasty as much as possible. At the same time, he aimed to elevate himself to an untouchable position.
Taking a deep breath, he let the warm water envelop his body. Elenora's pregnancy was not just a personal matter; it was also a political step. The birth of this child would solidify his dynasty and ensure a lasting legacy for future generations. However, power was not preserved through blood alone; it was cemented with intelligence, the right moves, and, when necessary, ruthlessness.
