Chapter 718: Assigned Somewhere Far From Riva
Once Arabella was ready, she headed to her official office for her meeting with Ivan.
Ferdinand had gone to work so Arabella was on work mode as well.
"Greetings to Your Majesty," Ivan greeted once she arrived. They were supposed to meet in fifteen minutes more but he was already here.
"Follow me inside," Arabella gestured to her office.
Ivan obediently followed her in and waited until Arabella gestured for him to sit before he did.
[I suddenly received Her Majesty’s summons this morning. Did I make a mistake somewhere? I was sure I rechecked all the documents I worked on before submitting them. Or did Narcissa try to do something behind my back? She’s been behaving well lately; it’s also terrifying.]
Arabella heard from Ivan’s thoughts that he was worried Narcissa may have been up to something again because she had been behaving too well lately when compared to her former behavior.
Ivan was worried that Narcissa’s current behavior was just a front because she was scolded by Arabella.
That Narcissa was pretending to have changed for now but had dark plans in mind she would do later once everyone had dropped their guard and relaxed.
However, from what Arabella heard from Narcissa’s thoughts, she had indeed finally accepted that Ivan was better than her.
Narcissa was trying to improve herself to try to catch up with what she was missing or lacking.
