Chapter 465: Task Distribution
[Someone who works for His Majesty is also Raymond’s assistant? I have never encountered this person in Riva though. Not even once. He has a good build and looks like he is good with the sword and close combat.] Ronald was required to train too so he could tell at a glance.
[I have never encountered this person before. If I did, I would be able to recall. I still recall the faces of all the people working in the palace. Does he work in something related to the military, so his identity was never revealed? But if he does, why would he be here if His Majesty and His Excellency were busy with war preparations? Ah, but then again, if it was about a huge-scale war, Ronald’s family would have heard of it. He looks as clueless as I do so it must be something else.] Ivan wondered about it too.
Ronald and Ivan were wary of the new face and curious about what led to Arabella having to do all the work.
But Arabella could not give any details about what Ferdinand and Raymond was busy about. Thus, she decided to busy the two with work so they would not have time to wonder about it nor about who Rowan was.
"Alright, since we have a lot of work to do, let’s begin immediately," she showed them to each of the tables they would be using.
She had already sorted all the documents they would work on after Ferdinand told her to get her some of her assistants with her here. All the confidential matters and documents that cannot be done by her or these three were already separated for Ferdinand and Raymond to work on later.
"Ivan, you would be doing some of the tasks I am supposed to do," she had the already separated the matters that she, herself would have to do.
Ivan browsed through the documents and was wide-eyed.
"Your Majesty, aren’t these things very important and some are confidential?" Ivan was terrified he might make a mistake or get punished for seeing confidential matters.
[Or is Her Majesty testing us?] Ivan wondered.
"Yes. But you are working for me anyway. You will keep on seeing such documents. Work carefully but do it with confidence. I believe you have the capability to accomplish those," Arabella encouraged, and Ivan was touched.
[Despite exam results, my former superiors only kept making me do tasks for new hires because they didn’t trust a commoner like me could work well. They concluded I just got lucky. But Her Majesty is making me work on documents this important. Does she believe in me that much? I must do my best to respond to her trust. I have to do well and not disappoint her. This is my chance to prove my worth and secure my position as her assistant!]
