title
Tiff is now of legal age, which means she is eligible to inherit the Duke's title upon his death, provided she is the Duke's chosen successor.
Now the Duke is searching everywhere for his illegitimate son, intending for him to inherit the title. Although he is being very careful, the news has still leaked out.
Now the nobles are all discussing whether this matter is true or false.
Inheriting the title was a crucial part of Tiff's plan to usurp the throne.
Now that everyone knows what Duke Strych is thinking, she's making a move against him.
So she set up an ambush on the Duke of Stryker's way back to the capital after his unsuccessful search for his illegitimate son.
At that time, the Duke of Strickland was sitting in his carriage, and was not sober because he had drunk wine that Tiff had drugged.
So when the assassins arranged by Tiffany appeared, he was still resting in the carriage with his eyes closed. The assassins silently covered the guard's mouth, slit his throat, and gently placed him on the ground.
All the guards were killed, the carriage stopped, and only then did Duke Strych open his eyes and ask why it had stopped.
It was so quiet, so eerily quiet, that Duke Stryker finally realized something was wrong. But he was too weak to move and only then did he discover that he had been drugged.
He was dragged out by the assassins, and the leader of the assassins stepped forward to look at Duke Stryker.
She then raised her hand, but instead of killing Duke Strych, she took out a clear glass bottle and poured the potion into Duke Strych's mouth.
Tiffany floated in mid-air, invisible to those below. Lisa followed behind, their faces partially obscured by cloaks, so they couldn't see her even without magic.
Tiff watched as Lily, following her instructions, gave the potion she had made to Duke Strych. A smile played on her lips. She knew very well what the potion's effects would be.
That's why Duke Strych remained in a coma.
She left only after seeing Duke Strych faint after drinking the potion.
The reason Tiffany targeted Duke Strickland wasn't just because of rumors that he was looking for an illegitimate son to inherit his title, but also because she found a piece of paper in his study.
It was a piece of paper that hadn't been stamped yet, depriving someone of their right to inherit.
Whose inheritance rights are being disinherited?
Of course it's Tiffany, since Tiffany is ostensibly the only heir of the Duke of Stryker.
Tiff showed no emotion when she saw the paper; she even chuckled softly.
Then, he pinched the paper, tore it into pieces, and raised his hand, scattering the scraps all over the study floor.
Tiff walked toward the door expressionlessly, and the scraps of paper behind her suddenly burst into flames until they turned to ashes.
The reason the Duke of Strickland didn't find his illegitimate children was because Tiff had already found and eliminated them first.
News has spread that Duke Strych remains unconscious, and several renowned great wizards have asserted that he may never wake up.
Therefore, the position of head of the family and the title rightfully fell to Tiff.
