His Hidden Crown The Prince She Threw AwayChapter 1
I hid my identity and lived as an ordinary husband with Lola Black.
The day I learned she was pregnant, she said it without warning: "I'm marrying the heir to the Northguard Stephens Estate in three days."
"I'm actually the legitimate daughter of the Grand Chancellor's household. He and I are a proper match. The betrothal gifts have already been delivered to my family's estate, and... he and I have already consummated our relationship."
When she saw me frozen in place, she added, "I'll set you up with a residence. You'll never want for anything."
I stared at her in disbelief. "So I'm to be a kept man, hidden away for the rest of my life. Is that it?"
Lola turned her face away. "He's a kind and respectable husband. As long as you don't cause a scene in front of him, I can give you everything except the title."
A sharp sting hit the bridge of my nose. I never imagined I meant so little to her.
"What if I told you... that I could match your status?"

Lola froze for a moment. A long silence passed before she spoke.
