Chapter 541: You May Begin Working Again
"I see. Since our daughter seems to be determined, we will allow her to do this. But please keep your word, Your Majesty. Our daughter is very capable, and she’s determined to keep working as your assistant."
"I will keep my word. But only if Narcissa keeps hers," Arabella smiled.
’I know that. And that’s exactly why I did all this,’ she wanted to add.
If Narcissa does not learn her lesson after doing that much offense, she might become even worse. And it would not be healthy for the Empire if all those who had connections with her would follow her example.
"I promise, I will keep my word, Your Majesty," Narcissa bowed and swore again.
Arabella was rather relieved that Narcissa’s apology had sincerity compared to how empty it was before.
People knew the Ryvalehs were close with the Reginalds, so they began to wonder if Narcissa was just passed and selected because of their connection with the Prime Minister.
After Narcissa, herself experienced getting doubted by people, she realized how painful and infuriating it was to be judged because of her background. Especially since she had passed the selection and the exams with her own abilities, not by connections as people had begun to doubt.
Arabella remained silent pretending to ponder if she should accept Narcissa again. She had already made her decisions though.
Narcissa and her parents waited nervously. They could not afford to get Narcissa fired due to all the rumors it would spur.
That was one of the reasons Arabella gave Narcissa a chance to choose and did not have everything she had done revealed. If they went to court, Narcissa would be ruined. She would no longer be able to work anywhere unless it was somewhere her Household managed and owned.
