Chapter 251: Surrounded By Turkeys
Is Lambert such a fickle man who finds pleasure preying upon women?
Talia couldn’t shake that thought off her head. Maybe she was already so tired, she had already leaned towards that conclusion.
"Your Highness, I’m sorry I wasn’t there with you," Mr. Ed broke her thoughts with his hearty tone.
In fact, he could have avoided leaving the Princess, but he was much more interested in learning about the rumours that one of Lambert’s friend, The Marquess of Rodenberg, was planning on asking the Dowager for her hand in marriage. His father The Duke of Luxxenshire, is of a higher standing in Rosandale and can be considered the most influential and wealthy Noble in Rosandale. His family is well suited for the well-adorned Princess Royal to be married into. He wanted to assure the credibility of those rumours and warn the Princess beforehand, but who’d have guessed that the little brother of the Marquess would act this inappropriately with the Princess?
"Ah, Mr. Ed. Don’t blame yourself. I was foolish to walk around alone when I was already sick. I should have left immediately without lingering there. I even let other people order you around. I should have been more smart about it all." Talia said with a sigh.
Mr.Ed nodded half-hearted. As the car moved, her eyes shone beautifully as the sky reflected in her eyes. She seemed to be really not minding his absence, but he knew he needs to answer the Dowager and the King for not protecting the Princess properly. He was willing to accept whatever punishment that would be meted upon him.
" What are you planning? "
Mr. Ed knew the Princess keeping silent is not out of fear of getting shamed or because she is willing to let it go, but because she already has a plan. She is very smart and previously she used the Peter Campbell situation pretty well for her favour. And she is not very kindhearted to let go of the perpetrator harmless either.
And more importantly, he has a very vengeful redhead protecting her and he will obliterate whoever tries to harm her. By law and morality, there are certain things, he as a Knight and a Kingsguard cannot do, but the crowned King of the business world, can do a lot just by waving his little finger and he is smart enough to do it discreetly.
