With Duke Collins' cooperation, the subsequent handling of this matter naturally wouldn't cause any waves.
However, the impact of this affair does not end there.
Regardless of the situation, the Collins family is one of the three major duke families. Even an illegitimate child is a significant figure beyond the reach of ordinary nobles.
After all, both the Duke himself and his legitimate heir are not individuals that ordinary nobles can easily contact, and there are many times when affairs inconvenient for the Duke to handle require someone else to manage.
In such instances, an illegitimate child without inheritance rights serves as the Duke's spokesperson.
This is why even a dishonorable illegitimate child can obtain a noble title; oftentimes an illegitimate child needs a legitimate identity to appear in noble social circles.
Yet, the sudden handling of such a somewhat critical illegitimate child undoubtedly creates a significant impact within the noble community.
