The next day, Morning.
In the Emperor’s Room.
Logan twisted and turned his body trying to get so sleep throughout the night, but couldn’t due to the heavy feeling that was weighing down on his heart.
He opened his eyes and looked at the door for a mont before shouting in a vaguely disappointed tone, "Co in..."
The door unlocked and two able bodies stepped into the room.
It was Hendrickson and Randal.
Randal hesitated but gestured a little with his hands at Hendrickson.
Hendrickson gave the forr a stare before he opened his mouth towards Logan, "Your Majesty, the preparations for the banquet is almost complete. We only have a few hours before the banquet starts..."
"Oh..." Logan gave a perfunctory nod before looking at Randal, "You seem to be gesturing at sothing, what is it?"
Randall stuttered, "Your Majesty, I... I..."
Hendrickson interrupted, "Your Majesty, Commander Randal was just curious about your personal life, it was nothing else..."
Randal cast a glance at Hendrickson as if he was his savior.
This didn’t escape Logan’s eyes so he simply chuckled it off by saying, "Simpleton..."
"Rather than being curious about my personal life, you just wanted to know why I didn’t bring the other ten woman I had a physical relationship with, right?"
Randal widened his eyes as he took a step back, "I don’t dare..."
Hendrickson put his head down while secretly cursing Randal for openly displaying his emotions on his face.
Now he was also panicked thinking that he will get into trouble as well.
Logan chuckled again while looking at the two of them, "You don’t have to mind about it. Actually, I wasn’t going to address this issue to the public since it concerns the safety of those won but since you want to know, I might as well share it with you two..."
"Your Majesty, we have been rude..." Hendrickson replied in an apologizing manner.
Logan waved his hand, "It’s fine, the two of you diligently looked over the affairs of the Empire while I was searching for my descendants. It’s only proper that you are inford of the latest matters of the Royal Family, otherwise wouldn’t it be hard for you two to maintain integrity and security over the matters that are about to happen."
"Your Majesty..." Hendrickson and Randal were both slightly moved.
They could see that their newly crowned Emperor was growing up to be a real, full-fledged one.
Logan coughed a bit, "Hehem, in fact, ever since I toured the world, I had physical relationships with over 17 won, excluding the Empress."
"Of course, all of the physical relationships I ever had lasted only a single ti on the bed with each one of them."
"After the incident with Violet and Ernest, I made up my mind to find information about the 16 others."
"So in these years, I secretly ordered my subordinates to search for those 16 won."
"After the search ended last month, I learned that out of the 16 of them, 10 were already married to so other n, while only 6 of them didn’t..."
Saying so, Logan paused for a mont before continuing, "Because only the 6 of them had given birth to my children and were unwilling to get married to soone else, just like Violet."
"Then your Majesty, what about the other ten won? What if they had your children but are married to soone else right now?" Hendrickson asked worriedly. He also had so trepidation in his heart because this matter concerns the reputation of the royal family.
Taking a step back, even if it were not for the reputation of the Royal Family, what would happen if the Emperor’s woman is another man’s wife?
Wouldn’t the man’s whole family be executed?
Logan smiled on hearing his question, "Royal Advisor, I also thought about the sa thing, so I investigated deeply using various sources."
"What was the result?" Hendrickson asked as he gulped.
"After gaining the Intel, I understood that out of the ten of them, one of them was indeed conceived with my child at one point but chose to conceal that matter by undergoing abortion through taking a pill. The other nine were not conceived with my child at all, so I do not need to take responsibility at all by bringing them here."
Hendrickson and Randal both nodded. They could both understand his thought process.
Taking a step back, if Logan were to even bring won who were already married into the royal family, then his na would be utterly tarnished.
In fact, even before it gets tarnished, they thought that he would get killed by the Empress.
"Your Majesty, the search was conducted for years, so the dangers they faced..."
"Don’t worry, I learned that most of them didn’t opt to go outside after giving birth to my children, so they relatively t with no danger."
"Besides, I found so of them sooner, so I had them secretly under protection until this day."
"After I found them, I made contact with them, and they all agreed to co to see
of their own volition."
"Of course, even if they aren’t willing to be with , I would still take them with
and protect them till they depart from this world since they have suffered too much because of ."
Hendrickson heaved a sigh of relief, it seems like he thought too much into that matter.
"Ultimately, I’m glad that there are no problems that could potentially crop up!" Randal clapped his hands as a smile spread on his face.
After all, he was the one in charge of security.
He was not afraid of fights but if the one who ca to create trouble had an advantage of moral high ground, it would seem excessive and disadvantageous to him as well as the royal family.
"Who said that there is no trouble?" Logan glared at him.
"There is?" Randal asked as he went wide-eyed.
"Hmph, needless to say, with additional mbers cos additional trouble!" Logan snorted as a feeling of headache encroached over him.
Removing all that thought, he replied, "Don’t worry, the troubles I ntioned will co knocking in the future, not during the banquet..."
Both nodded and looked at each other as they heaved a sigh of relief.
Logan looked at them and opened his mouth, "Say, will the em..." But cut it short without finishing it as he sighed, "Alright, continue to prepare for the banquet..."
Hendrickson and Randal bowed and retreated to take care of the preparation of the banquet.
As Logan saw the door shut, he muttered to himself in worry, "I hope she cos..."
