Chapter 1346: A Resolution
In the King’s office, Fredhardt was busy taking over Lucas’ work, or at least some of it that was still under his jurisdiction while the rest he would humbly hand over it to Lory.
Fortunately, Lory has been taking private courses about social politics, management, and such since she was young if not she would have found it difficult to adjust to her new position as the King’s regent, in fact, she is much better now compared when she was young it made him wonder what she had done all this time in another world? She said she only ate and slept when she was there, maybe she’s not telling the whole truth or simply forgotten as usual.
Nevertheless, he was thankful that Lory was here, otherwise, he didn’t know how much important work would be delayed. Eventually, they wouldn’t have any other choice but to reveal Lucas’ condition to the public, which would cause panic and chaos within the country, and Fredhardt knew that was what their enemies were waiting for.
He massaged his stiff neck after working five hours non-stop. Fred never pays attention to how long he’s been working usually he stops when someone stops him or when his body screams begging him to stop.
He lifted the tall coffee mug that he had drunk more than half of and then gulped down the rest, he reflexively winced as the bitter taste coated his tongue but at the same time, he immediately felt energetic again.
Fred put down his mugs, then his eyes subconsciously glanced at the phone lying next to him. His phone kept receiving emails and messages every few minutes so he checked his phone but after a while his expression darkened then he threw his phone back on the table and huffed in annoyance.
A moment later the office door suddenly opened and Jay walked in with a wide grin as he walked towards Fred. Seeing Jay’s stupid grin, he realized it had been a long time since he had last seen that stupid grin on Jay’s face.
Fredhardt almost forgot that Jay used to have a childish smile that made him look innocent though in his personal opinion, Jay looked like an idiot.
But after the death of the previous King and former Archknight, Jay became more withdrawn and serious, but things got worse after Lory’s tragic death. But at least he was still comforted by Lucas’s presence which made him focus more on his job to protect Lucas because he knew that was what Lory would want, so when Lucas got hurt and fell into a coma, it became a straw that broke the Camel’s back.
