Chapter 342: Does Sir Robert Want To Quit?
"You told a Royal to shut up. What if the Princess gets offended?" Lady Magdalene asked as she winced slightly hearing the sliding door of the room clacking as it was forced to shut.
"Better to be offended than felling guilty..." Mr. Ed muttered under his breath. With all the pain medications he was in, he felt like he was floating in ether. But even in that state, he could say that the Princess was feeling guilty.
By the speed his wife was brought here and with His Majesty himself talking to his wife regarding his surgery, it should be under The Princess’ efforts. For her who was in the blast herself, running around making travel plans for his wife... And first thing in the morning, she’s here visiting him.
What a stupidly noble person she is! Can’t she be selfish a little without feeling guilty and rest? Ugh! I know she’ll try to get me discharged from my duties citing my injuries. Or will she transfer me to a desk job? Ah! I hate this!
"I don’t want to lose this job."
Mr. Ed felt his wife’s slender fingers grabbing his hand and looked at her. With her green eyes that always had a mesmerising charm, he felt calm. But seeing her sigh, his heart skipped a beat.
"You’re sighing," he tried to hold her hand, but his fingers felt numb and he couldn’t move much. "I did it again, huh? Putting my life at risk... "He took in a deep breath. Last time when he saved the Great King a couple decades ago, she was his betrothed. She sat silently by his side and sighed like this and he promised he won’t risk his life like this again. And here he is... not even feeling guilty for breaking the promise to his wife.
She must have been so worried thinking about me.
"Maggie, do you want me to quit?"
