How to Tame a Villain Character-Chapter 147: Harry’s True Identity

On the other hand, Claudia was invited by Larissa to drink tea while chatting in the palace garden gazebo. Larissa still looked relaxed sewing a handkerchief for herself, making Claudia a little suspicious as if there was something the king and Larissa were planning.

"Your Majesty, what exactly is your purpose in bringing me here?"

"Claudia, can you not call me ’your majesty’? "Actually, I’m tired of hearing it every time you call me, whether at community gatherings, at the palace, or when we’re just chatting casually."

"But, I still feel it’s inappropriate to call you names."

Larissa folded her hands. "I also didn’t call you ’duchess’. Why should you hesitate?"

"Actually, I have always felt that I did not deserve the royal title. Just because I married Harry, I got that title straight away." Claudia looked down while pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "In my opinion, only Harry deserves that title."

"But, I was still curious about you from a long time ago. You suddenly married Harry not because you wanted the duchess title, right?"

"No. I married him because I loved him."

Larissa laughed gracefully as she patted Claudia on the shoulder. "You always say you love him, but I’ve never heard Harry openly say it to you."

"Don’t you think that Harry doesn’t love me just because he never said the word love to me openly."

"I know Harry loves you sincerely too. He loves you too much to lie to me and my father about the kidnapping incident at the music festival."

Claudia’s eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. She immediately bent her body ninety degrees. The first time she heard about Harry’s plans, it became known to the royal family that she was not fit to set foot in the palace.

"Sorry for our insolence, Your Majesty. If necessary, you can ask your father to cut off my head."

Once again Larissa laughed so hard that her cheeks turned red. "You really are very innocent, Claudia. It’s impossible for my father to behead you and your husband because of this small matter. After all, you two are part of the royal family."

The words Larissa had just said made Claudia increasingly feel that something was strange. Does that mean she and her husband are part of the royal family? Does this have anything to do with granting the dukedom to Harry alone? This is Claudia’s main question. Why did the king only choose Harry among all the men in the kingdom to be given the dukedom? Was Harry too much of a perfectionist in the king’s eyes so the king easily trusted him? Then, what about the rumors that Harry killed palace ministers every night in the past? Is it just hoax news spread by people who hate Harry?

"Why do you and your father think Harry and I are part of the royal family? Moreover, my family only owns a hotel and I heard from people that my husband used to poison traitorous people in the palace."

"The rumors are true. Harry often kills people in the palace." Larissa responded casually while sipping tea.

Claudia rolled her eyes. "But why didn’t the king punish him?"

"Because what Harry did was right. People who want to betray must be punished according to their actions. Even my father supported Harry’s actions so far. All the chaos in this kingdom was cleared up by Harry, in fact my father knows about it."

Still, Claudia felt there was something strange about the relationship between the king and Harry. Why did the king defend Harry so fiercely even though Harry was born into a cruel family? Claudia felt that this mystery would not be revealed until Harry was willing to tell the truth.

"Never mind, there’s no need to bring up your husband and father’s matters anymore. "What is certain is that my purpose in inviting you here is because I want to discuss Only Hope Orphanage."

"You suddenly changed your mind?"

"No. In fact, I want to provide more facilities for orphaned children in our community buildings. You agree to spending our budget just for that, right?"

*****

After chatting with Larissa in the garden for a long time, Claudia and Larissa returned to the palace building. They accidentally ran into Harry who was walking along the palace corridor.

"Claudia, can I borrow Harry for a moment? There’s something I want to discuss with him."

"Of course." Claudia was curious about what Larissa wanted to talk about so she had to drag Harry into a room.

Larissa invited Harry to enter the defense minister’s room. She locked the door tightly, making Harry annoyed by the princess’s suddenly rude behavior in front of him.

"Why did you lock me in my room suddenly?" Harry snapped in a curt tone.

"Brother, is it true that you haven’t told your wife your true identity?"

Harry’s gaze immediately glared. "Have you lost your mind? If Claudia finds out about my true background, she will immediately divorce me."

"Shouldn’t you tell her before it’s too late?"

Harry scratched his head in annoyance. "Why do your father and you keep insisting that I tell my wife my identity?"

Larissa rolled her eyes. "It’s for your own good, Harry. If you continue to hide your identity and your wife one day finds out from someone else, I’m sure she will hate you for the rest of her life."

"Claudia would still hate me if she found out I was the son of a traitor and that my father tried to kill her several times. She will definitely think of me as a monster." Harry touched Larissa’s arm with both hands. "I can only ask for your help. Please keep my secret until I can tell you at the right time. Then, never speak informally to me in front of Claudia. Don’t let her know that our relationship is actually cousins."

Larissa pursed her lips. "If I were your wife, I would not forgive you, Harry. Hiding secrets for too long to protect a relationship is also not good."

"You just have to act as Claudia’s friend. I don’t ask for much. Don’t talk too much anymore." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com
