17 Plots II

Rosa wandered through the great and labyrinthine corridors of the neversnow castle. Mateo wanted to use her in the vilest possible way to secure the post of Duke of Rodmandy. But she wasn't going to allow it. She couldn't complain to anyone, but she could screw up Mateo's plans as she reassured herself.

At the same time that she cheated on that son of a bitch.

The plan was simple: get pregnant with a noble.

The next thing was to make a list of the possible candidates and to go eliminating until finding the perfect subject.

The first to be eliminated for obvious reasons was Mateo. After him, the next ones to be eliminated would be those who are very young and Gerald, who she knows from Mateo's mouth that she is powerless.

That leaves a very short list.

The Duke of Rodmandy: Magnus Magnar.

Earl of winterfall: Roger magnar.

Duke's second son: Marcus magnar.

The husband of the duke's first daughter.

And finally there were Maxwell and Jhon Magnar, both only 11 years old. She also put them on the list because she was desperate, but she wasn't even sure if the boys could already ejaculate.

At times like these Rosa cursed the eccentricity of Duke Magnus in keeping his castle.

Normally the nobility of any rank kept within her castle the servants, guards, knights, squires, advisers, troubadours and even priests. In conclusion, a castle was a mini city in itself. But the Duke of Rodmandy was eccentric in the way he handled his castle.

Apart from him, the ladies, her children and some special guests like her brothers and daughter, she did not keep anyone else destroying the gigantic castle. Many nobles insisted on countless occasions to send his sons as squires to his castle, but he always steadfastly refused. This made whatever happened inside this castle practically a mystery to the other nobles.

The only times this rule was broken was at the time of an engagement or a very special party.

Returning to the subject, Rosa thought very hard.

The duke himself, having 16 wives and a territory to rule, found it highly unlikely that he would desire her.

Roger Magnar Lord of Winterfall who was the Duke's younger brother. He was also discarded for the simple and straightforward reason that: he was afraid of her.

He was a very stoic man and seemed to have no feelings at all. During the banquet and his entire stay here, Rosa had not heard him speak even once, in addition to his sharp eyes that seemed to follow each and every one of his movements.

Rosa had even heard that he was a very cruel person and enjoyed torturing the commoners of his lands.

Marcus on the other hand was a big no. His presence gave her the creeps, and as Mateo's immediate rival for the duke's position, he could use her in even worse ways than Mateo.

Then there was the husband of the duke's first daughter who was still in the castle, but he was discarded out of sheer disgust. He would rather sleep with a commoner than with that lustful fat man.

Rosa desperately grabbed her hair, only Jhon and Maxwell remained but they were both very young and she doubted they even knew what sex was.

Do I really have to sleep with that filthy fat man?

Waiting...

Rosa raised her head and remembered.

How could she be so stupid?

This morning in the maxwell dining room ...

Rosa thought about it carefully and the more she did it, the more feasible her idea became.

Maxwell magnar.

She had never had any idea about this boy, but if she saw him from another perspective she couldn't help but feel that the boy was practically perfect.

She had always seen him as a child at first she ignored him like the rest of the family, but then she was showing more and more attitudes, until he became a key player in the war of succession.

He seemed to be held in high esteem by the duke himself, something she didn't try to hide at all. He had the very rare lightning element and on top of that he was very skilled and powerful when using it. He is handsome, intelligent, brave, and when he sets his mind to it, he could also be cruel.

Also his behavior this morning showed that she certainly knew what sex was. The only question that remained was: could he get her pregnant?

He was just a kid.

Rosa gritted her teeth, she had to bet what if she could. If she wasn't possible she would feel better giving maxwell her chastity than any other man in this castle.

It is decided then.

In one of the guest rooms of the great castle, Roger rose naked from the bed. He put on a red robe with fine gold embroidery, which matched his hair and his short beard.

He looked through the window made of impure glass with a stoic and emotionless face.

"What are your conclusions?" He asked seemingly out of nowhere.

Beneath the thin sheets of the cabin, he peeked out a beautiful young blonde woman.

She was Clare the first daughter of Duke Magnus and his own niece.

"Father is the same as always, if not worse. The castle is poorly guarded and practically ignores everything around it other than its ladies. My brothers are as disappointing as ever. Marcus lost in power, Mateo believing he has everything in his hands. hands, while he's just a puppet and Gerald ... Gerald is just Gerald. "

Roger nodded. The defenses of this castle were so low that his parents would wallow in his grave if they knew that Magnus had turned his castle into his own house of pleasure.

Clare sighed. "The war of succession will soon break out and a side will have to be chosen."

Roger just kept silent staring at nothing. The war of succession that Clare was referring to was not child's play for her nephews, it was something much bigger and more dangerous.

The current king of Ashelan Kirgib III von Straus was already in the last years of his life. This would not result in a war were it not for the fact that in all the years of his life, the king could not conceive an heir.

Many forces prepared in the dark for the impending war, but his brother spent his days as if nothing was happening around him.

A war was not something to look down on, many great noble houses had long since disappeared only because of small skirmishes.

"It's better this way." Said Roger "When war breaks out and the castle's defenses are more vulnerable, I will attack and take what is rightfully mine."

"And my fool husband will support you in everything." Clare smiled.

"The only threat in this castle is Maxwell." Roger said a little worried.

"Maxwell? He's just a kid, he doesn't participate in my brothers' little game and always keeps a low profile." Clare smiled, "He's not a threat."

"I hope so."

"Don't worry, if he ever deals with something we can handle it with ease."

"Is that so?" Roger asked interested.

"You may not know it, but Maxwell's mother is of commoner origin."

"Really? Hahaha then it's all settled."
