Chapter 723: Proceed As Planned
They thought Arabella was only here to listen and would let Raymond handle the rest without giving her inputs or whatsoever.
But that was not the case. She was here to act on Ferdinand’s behalf so she was then one who would make decisions.
If this was the previous life and she did not know yet about the issues in Valeria, it would indeed be better to watch and learn from Raymond first. But since she already knew what she should do, she was here to do her task.
Moreover, she knew exactly what they would want to hear from her since she could listen to their thoughts.
Ferdinand also knew she was already equipped since she had been working in her office since she began. He had seen her work the past months. If he did not believe she knew what to do, he would not have assigned her here and asked Raymond instead.
[It’s true that she has performed well so far. But Her Majesty is still from a foreign nation. What if she was a spy sent here? It’s not good to allow her to make important decisions especially in these yearly gatherings when everyone is gathered.]
There were people who could not trust Arabella because she was from a foreign nation. They feared that she might be a spy sent to lead Ferdinand astray or distract him so they could tear him apart.
’Did they think about me this way in the past too? Then, does this mean they concluded I was a spy right from the start and succeeded in leading Ferdinand to his downfall?’
Arabella gulped at the thought.
