Chapter 101: Lose His Composure!
"Father! Since lord Damon had already cleared the land from barbarians, it is the right time that we prepare a path for trade from eastern countries. Otherwise the land could be captured by other barbarians again. We need to assign knights personally to make sure the same event would not repeat.
Elio spoke as he passed the report to his majesty, William. He gave a provoking look to Edward who was sitting beside his father. "I have made the detailed plan already. We can start working on it as soon as you confirm it."
Elio waited for Edward to lose his composure and looked eager but Edward only smiled leisurely as if there was nothing he should be worried about.
"Ah! Elio." WIlliam looked at the file with an awkward smile. "I have called you here to discuss this matter only. Edward had already submitted the plan last night."
"...." Elio looked at Edward in confusion. The man was busy flirting with Olivia Witherland for two days. He had confirmed personally that he did not leave his premises or called any officials there. Who had made that file and when?
He looked dumbfounded when Edwaed finally met his eyes and smiled, leaving Elio burnt with seething anger.
"Since you have worked hard on it, I will study both plans and follow the better one," the man smiled at the bride, "I am lucky that my both sons are too competent and working hard for the welfare of the empire." he patted Elio’s shoulders.
Elio forced a smile on his face and nodded with a submissive look when William collected the files and left the room.
"Who made it for you?" Elio could not contain his anger and curiosity. He knew better than anyone Edward only knew how to enjoy pleasures.
