Chapter 440: Engagement Interview(3)
"That’s lovely to hear. So, we’ll be seeing you two together in a lot of engagements serving the crown?" the interviewer asked and Talia felt a prick in her heart as she found the question offending.
Do they think Fred has time to cling on to her every engagement? He is pretty busy himself and why would he leave his work and follow her when she works?
And serve the Crown? How could that even be suggested? Him working UNDER the crown? How can her man who rules the business world, work "under" someone?
And why should her man – The Bear King, serve the Rosandale Crown when he sits in the Esterian High Council? How can her man be expected to leave everything he has in Esteria and just become "her husband"?
She was so mad she wanted to flip the table, but she kept her expression the same minding the cameras, as she had mastered masking her negative expressions with a smile.
"As we talked previously, Arthur is very busy with his work. Also, as Marquess of Ashwood, he has recently replaced my lovely grandpa - The Duke of Oakley, in chairing the High Council of Esteria. I highly doubt he would have time to accompany me in my work."
Raphael, the smart guy, has already mastered reading Talia’s expression and he talked with people from the TV to cut the interview to prevent his boss from blowing out in front of the cameras.
"Of course, I’ll support Talia in other ways." Arthur held her hand. He didn’t expect she’d get mad on his behalf. Even he wasn’t that offended. But he knew they have the duty to inform the people about his role in the future.
"And the Royals of Rosandale are my family. My love and support for them as a family member will be forever."
Arthur made his point clear and was glad he got the chance to do it publicly.
He will support the Rosandale Crown as a family member but will not accept Louis as his liege lord and serve him.
