I Obtained a Stepmother. I Obtained a Little Brother. It Appears That Little Brother Is Not Father’s Child, but a Scum King’s Child, However, Don’t Mind It Please ( ´_ゝ`) Chapter 10

「And so Liana, it’s about what you will do after this but&h.e.l.lip;」

Liana, who had relaxed after hearing about her brother and father, tensed once again.

The Queen smiled bitterly as she watched Liana and said.

「Don’t worry. I won’t ask you to become a Side Queen anymore. However, for the child’s sake in your stomach, I don’t think you should stay unmarried. And so, if you are okay with it, what do you think about formally marrying the Earl Theodore of the bordering territory?」

Liana was astonished by the Queen’s proposal.

「Um, by formally you mean&h.e.l.lip;」

Liana timidly asked the Queen.

「I’m sorry. It will be confusing if I said it suddenly, right. As I mentioned earlier, Earl Theodore and I are old friends. He had lost his wife several years ago and is now living with his five-year-old daughter. I can guarantee the character of Earl Theodore. He is someone who still loves his deceased wife so he won’t lay a hand on you. He didn’t want to remarry but he only has a daughter and so he plans on adopting a child in the future. After consulting with the Earl, he say as long as you are okay with it, you can take refuge over there as a bride. He also said that if your child is a son, he will succeed the family as Theodore’s own child. Of course, he will treat the child as his own even if it is a girl. The Theodore Territory has the school that your father will work in and is close to the Kingdom that your brother will go to. It is also far from the Capital and so you will be completely separated from the King.」 (ED: Wow, the Queen talks a lot)

Liana was disordered from this sudden talk.

The Queen saw Liana’s confusion and stroke her back saying,

「You must be troubled after I said so much. You can think carefully. Because it is a formal marriage with the Earl, you can entrust your child to him after divorcing even if you can’t love it after giving birth to it. Then, you can live with your brother in the neighboring kingdom. If you find someone you love, you can then marry him. You have many possibilities for your future. I too will cooperate with you as long as it is possible.」

After telling Liana this, the Queen left the room.

Liana, who was left alone in the room, laid on the bed and thought about what the Queen had said.
