Tyranny of Steel

After getting reacquainted with one another ’s bodies in the Royal Bathhouse, Berengar and Honoria departed from their isolation and entered the dining hall where the King ’s growing family had gathered for a family meal.

Upon witnessing the Byzantine Princess return from her voyage, Berengar ’s other brides had varying expressions. As for Hans, he quickly jumped up from his seat and approached the young woman.

”Mommy Honoria is back! ”

The Third Queen of Austria smiled lovingly as her husband ’s eldest son approached her with glee. She quickly picked the boy up and swung him around as she plating a kiss on his forehead.

”My baby boy is growing up so fast! ”

In response to this, Linde merely sneered in disdain at her rival before making a comment on her choice of words.

”Your baby boy? ”

It had been a while since Honoria had verbally sparred with Linde, and thus she put on a devilish smirk as she made a comment that made the redheaded beauty ’s blood boil.

”Of course, I consider all of Berengar ’s children to be my own, even if they were born to another woman. After all, no matter how much of a bitch his kids ’ birth mothers ’ might be, it is not a fault of the child. All I see is the offspring of my husband, which I hope grows to be plentiful. Speaking of which, Yasmin, you should be due soon, should you not? ”

Before Linde could respond to Honoria ’s snide remark, she had shifted the conversation to someone else, thoroughly cutting her off from retorting. As for the woman in question, she smiled as she rubbed her pregnant belly before nodding her head.
