Chapter 785: They Do Not Deserve an Extension
The ministers and rulers began to wonder if an heir is on the way.
[His eyes at least finally looked alive when he fell for her. It feels too long ago now when his eyes looked dead as if he had not any interest in anything. In the past even when he got irritated, he wasn’t really angry, it was simply because he didn’t want to be bothered by anything. Perhaps it was because he lost his parents too early and was exposed to politics and war immediately so even when he was still young, he had the eyes of an old man that had resigned himself to everything and had nothing more to lose in life. He excelled in everything contrary to everyone’s belief. He learned too fast in everything just like his cousin, the Prime Minister. Maybe it also contributed to why in the past, in His Majesty’s eyes, it seemed as if life had no point at all. It was why he kept urging him to get married since he looked like he didn’t mind even if he died in war. But now, thankfully, he has someone to return to. And he finally has real emotions now.] One of the elderly head ministers thought as he eyed Ferdinand.
’What did he mean by Ferdinand’s eyes looking dead?’
Arabella gulped at what she heard and noted to get close to this minister since he seemed to care about Ferdinand to notice such things about him.
To her, in this life, Ferdinand’s eyes had always been full of emotion.
She eyed him as if to ensure his eyes did not look dead.
[Is she worried?] Ferdinand wondered.
Arabella was relieved to see that his eyes were indeed alive unlike what the elderly head minister thought about.
{Don’t worry. I’ll rein them in. If they ever try something behind my back again even after this, tell me immediately.} Ferdinand squeezed her hand and his eyes smiled at her tenderly.
