Wei Anning looked at the Duke in disbelief. He had calculated even Leng Youchen and Chenchen into his plans. From when did he set up such a grand scheme without her noticing?
She always thought that she could break free from this shackle, but only now did she realize that since the moment she stepped into the Duke Mansion five years ago, her fate had been in the Duke's hands.
No, it wasn't just her fate; Leng Youchen's and Chenchen's fates were also under his control.
"If you are defeated miserably, they won't spare the Duke Mansion, nor will they spare anyone or anything related to you. Ningning, if you want to protect those you care about, you must fight to the bitter end." The Duke wasn't just speaking empty words. Since ancient times, it has always been the victor who becomes the king; only the one who finally ascends to the throne can bask in ultimate glory.
