A new happiness is about to blossom in Chloe and Damien’s lives, but an ominous shadow is falling over them. Now that the Emperor has passed away, it is only natural that Duke Thisse will ascend the throne. Currently, it is a well-known fact that Crown Prince Johannes is completely crazy and suffers from some mental illness.
So why isn’t Damien in a hurry, especially when public opinion is against the Crown Prince? Well, first of all, Chloe is now with a child so there’s more at stake, and second of all, he’s really worried about Chloe a lot. We will see what happens next to Damien and Chloe in Betrayal of Dignity Chapter 42.
Fans were a bit disappointed to read about Damien’s reaction to Chloe’s pregnancy. The reaction was extremely bland to say the least and it honestly didn’t seem like Damien cared. Well, we later found out that he had his own reasons for reacting that way and Damien also made it clear that he didn’t want another child.
In the story so far, Damien has been shown to be a bit rough around the edges and can be especially rude and blunt. However, he was interested in Chloe even though she was said to be just a political tool. Even his vassals and subjects were somewhat confused by the Duke’s change of heart.
Betrayal of Dignity is a romantic film with somewhat serious content, be it the romance between the main characters or the political conflict within the empire. The story attracted a lot of attention and was adapted from the novel of the same name.
Fans are looking forward to more cute Chloe and Damien moments, but we can guess that it will be filled with anxiety. There are still many stories to explore and things are quite uncertain considering the battle for the throne that will soon occur.
In this article, we will talk about the Betrayal of Dignity Chapter 42 release date, recap the previous chapter, and tell readers where they can read the manhwa.
Summarize
In the previous chapter of Betrayal of Dignity, we saw some people working for Damien talking to each other about the Crown Prince and Damien. First of all, it was shocking to see that the Emperor stood by his decision to name Prince Johannes as his heir until his last breath.
Well, that exclusive news exposed the Crown Prince’s madness and unstable mental state, so the public also did not support him. No one really wants to live under a completely crazy King for obvious reasons. This is certainly the perfect time for Duke Thisse to claim the throne for himself.
No matter what, he was aiming for that from the beginning. But it’s strange that Damien now has a passive attitude and doesn’t aggressively seek the throne. Well, they could say that the cause is the Duchess, who is currently pregnant with their first child.
Somehow it makes even less sense since Duke Thisse only married Chloe to hide his ambitions and efforts to take over the mines. He was even willing to let Alice get into scandals just for the sake of it, but it worked out for him, considering how she ran away before.
On the other hand, Chloe is busy knitting socks for her unborn child. She makes a pretty yellow stocking, but it’s clear she’s still nervous about her discussion with Damien. He made it quite clear that this would be their first and last child, regardless of gender.
However, what is worrying is that women cannot inherit the title. What if that child is a girl? It could mean that the Thisse bloodline will perish. However, Damien sends his lawyer a letter saying he will make their first child his successor regardless of their gender, which makes Chloe happy.
