CHAPTER 197

Marilyn let out a sigh while shaking her head.

"Come on now, miss. You should change your clothes and wear something thicker. The duke will not like it if you get sick again."

"Dad knows I'm not that weak."

"Hmm. But it doesn't mean you have to neglect your health. Since you want to become the duke's successor, it also means you have to take care of yourself."

"I know, I know."

Eight years had passed and a lot of things have changed not only in Penelope's life but also in their kingdom.

Last year, Duke Harrison finally decided it was time for him to retire and passed his position as a duke to his son, Clementine. Although he is still strong, Duke Harrison wants to spend his time on the things he likes. And besides, he is confident that Clementine can do a better job as a duke compared to him. But even if he's already retired, the former duke is still watching over his family and he's always there when they need him.
