The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385

The Queen’s heart tightened as she nodded, her face clouded with discomfort

The Queen sighed, “Ever snice Pamela gave birth in her first child, there’s been no sign of another pregnancy.”

Pamela had given birth to a daughter. If only it had been a son. Fermin wouldn’t be without an heir.

The Queen was seething with frustration. She secretly formed. Pamela is such a disappointment, always h

holding Fermin back.

Arthur’s brow furrowed. The royal bloodline is dwindling–this is no trivial matter. Since Pamela fails to produce an heir, Fermin must take a concubine. If one isn’t enough, then take two. How can we simply stand by and do nothing?”

That remark carried a subtle reproach toward the Queen

The Queen, looking alarmed, was about to how and beg forgiveness when Arthur raised a hand to stop her. “You would do well to take this matter more to heart,” he said.

I understand, Your Majesty,” the Queen: murmured sofily

Arthur nodded, using the armrest for support as he rose from his chair. “Rest well, my Queen. I shall visit you another ume.”

He had always been like this–departing the moment his words were spoken.

The Queen had long since lost any intention of keeping him. She obediently bowed and murmured, “Bye, Your Majesty.”

Only after Arthur’s figure vanished into the night did the Queen finally allow her maids to help her rise from her knees.

“It seems His Majesty is indeed going to name a Crown Prince, the Queen murmured to herself, her face clouded with worry.

The key to appointing the Crown Prince still lies in having an heir.

Without an heir, a crucial bargaining chip is lost.

Yet the concubine selection weighed beavily on the Queen’s mind.

The Queen thought. These noble–born ladies are all pampered daughters of great houses. They’d likely refuse to become Fermin’s concubine

The Queen rested her forehead in her hand, carefully pondering who would be suitable to fill the role of concubine.

The maid leaned in and whispered in the Queen’s ear

een’s ear, “Your Majesty, I have a candidate in mind.

The Queen raised her gaze slightly and asked. “Oh Who do you have in mind

She said. “Your Majesty, have you forgotten Kurtis has a granddaughter in the bloom of youth. If she were to marry His Highness as a concubine, wouldn’t that secure the powerful backing of the General’s estate for him?”

The Queen’s eyes brightened with delight as she glanced at the maid. “You remind me. It almost slipped my mind. Now that Kurtis has been reinstated in the capital, marrying his granddaughter to Fermin as a concubine would be the most advantageous arrangement.”

The maid smiled softly and nodded eagerly. “Your Majesty’s wisdom is beyond compare.

The Queen pondered for a moment, then added, “Since we’re already taking one concubine, we might as well take two. Let’s find another noble- born lady from a prestigious family and have them both marry into Fermin Manor.”

The maid added, “The daughter of the Minister of Finance, Natasha- believes her status would also be a good match, Your Majesty.”

The Queen smiled. “Whether they’re suitable or not, we’ll just summon them all to the palace and see for ourselves. It’s merely a formality marrying into Fermin Manor would be their privilege.

“Your Majesty the maid said flatteringly. Then we’ll arrange it for the Spring party.

At Fermin Manor, the Queen sent word to Fermin regarding the upcoming concubine selection, instructing him to prepare accordingly.

Fermin couldn’t care less about taking a concubine.

Just a means to continue the bloodline–hardly worth my y attention, Fermin thought, his tone full of disdain.
