Chapter 412: Set His Eyes
Abel massaged the back of his neck as he made his way towards the Queen Mother’s office. "I guess this is better than the Queen Mother asking me to have Ezme as a wife instead," he murmured to himself. He already knew why the Queen Mother was asking for his presence. Obviously, it was about Lady Dani and the incident between them.
Aside from Dani and Mason whom he already killed, no one knew about his relationship with Rosela. Still, despite the man being dead, his face darkened as he recalled the memories Mason had when he drank his blood. He had tasked him to look after Rosela and report everything to him, but she ended up manipulating Mason using her body instead. It was upsetting enough that he quickly had to compose himself before opening the door and entering the Queen Mother’s office.
"Your Highness," he politely greeted with a curt bow.
"Come," she said as she gestured towards the nearest chair. "Sit. We have much to talk about."
Wordlessly, Abel sat in front of her, accepting the wine she then offered him.
"So, a day has already passed since that incident, Abel," Rania began. "What is your plan?"
"As I said before, I will take responsibility and court Lady Dani to accept me as his husband," Abel firmly answered. He genuinely meant it too. After all, he found Lady Dani attractive. In fact, no other woman had made him feel such a variety of emotions. He never even thought it would be possible aside from his former wife.
"That’s good then. I expect you to take quick action on this since Lady Dani also comes from a noble family," she reiterated. "I shouldn’t need to remind you that her father is one of the dukes in Ebodia, not to mention that her brother is also the Great Constable of Ebodia."
"I’m well aware of it," Abel remarked. "I’ll take the necessary procedures as required, Queen Mother."
