Chapter 147: I Have A Plan

Chapter 147: I Have A Plan

"I am looking for a perfect match for Diana. Who could be better than you? Damon? Once the deal with the eastern countries is finalized, I will announce your marriage in the celebratory dinner." he laughed, "when the nobles know that you are part of the royal family, who would dare to ignore you or mock you behind your back? And how could a woman threaten your position." he looked at Olivia uneasily, continuing to brag.

Olivia had lost her interest in the idle chatter. Her mind was already racing. In the past, Damon did not get married. He was not a favored ruler by the lords of vassal families. He was accused as his father’s murderer and the nobles were against him.

She knew that most of the rumors were spread by Oriana to keep Damon in check. Yet the royal family did not favor Damon. He had left his territories since barbarians were not defeated well. But now... Damon was a hero!? She had achieved the first step well. Now it was time to ask for her labor.

But what if the princess did not support Leo and Abi? She knew the princess was a haughty woman with a lot of ego. She treats humans as objects because of her spoiled nature.

"No! She had to clear it before Damon committed." she held her dress uneasily as she looked at Damon for his reply.

His majesty was staring at Damon too.

"I will wait for the good news then." Damon nodded. His majesty laughed with a relieved face. He looked at Olivia again with a gaze, she could not understand. Only then did she realize she was holding her dress too tightly. Her grip had ruined the crease.

"Then we must go and prepare for the meeting." William nodded with a smile. It was easier than he had thought. Could his eyes have been wrong? He looked at Olivia again.

The girl did not show any resentment either. Perhaps he was reading too much. After all, Gabriella had already said that Olivia wanted to marry Edward. Even if she could not be an official wife, she could be a good concubine.

"Lady Witherland, I know you are confused about your presence here. But it could be a good chance to hone your skills. Use it wisely,." he smiled after giving her a warning. It was a rare opportunity. It would be better that she used it wisely. Olivia’s eyes flickered and she bowed her head with a look of understanding making William smile again.

Yes! He was thinking way too much. There was no way Damon would like his aunt. As he said, she was just his family.

Olivia gasped as soon as she came out. Her widened eyes stared around looking like a thief.

"Do you want to steal that vase?" Damon raised a brow as she pointed at the small vase in the corner.

Olivia furrowed her brows, confused.

’You are holding it too tightly and looking around!’ the words bubbled in his mind but he shook his head, "forget it! You are too slow." he started walking away, sure that she would follow him.

Olivia did not care about his vicious tongue.

"You will get married to the first princess, Diana!" she gasped again and he paused. He turned around to look at her intently.

"And..." for some reason, his heart raced when he noticed her troubled look. His smile grew unconsciously.

"She is a territorial woman." she pointed and at this moment, he did not even want to know how she knew all this! He was surprised. Since he only went closer to her to know her secret. But now he does not care about it at all. He would not ask her even if she was a witch. His heart stirred at her worries.

"And why did that matter?" he asked softly, "i will not cheat my wife anyway even if it will be you."

".... that!" Olivia paused. Her face was so red that blood was dripping from it and it made him smirk. All the anger burning his chest vanished instantly looking at her erratic breathing and flushed face. He watched her shaking her head slightly and anticipated her next words. Had she finally realized her feelings for him? For some reason, he wanted to know her thoughts instantly but at the same time, he did not want to know them.

"I meant, she expects all the power and wealth. What about Abi and Leo then?"

"......" a layer of ice started to cover his eyes and his face looked grim. His eyes were dangerously cold so she paused.

"I mean..." she breathed, looking guilty yet it only made him a fool. "Forget it! We should leave for the meeting." she sighed looking abandoned yet she did not care about him and her at all.

Sometimes he wanted to ask, did she do anything else except her nephew and niece. As if her life revolved around them!

Did she even know that little nephew wanted to marry her? If words go out, it would be a big scandal. Hmph! Scandal... Wait! She was a fool and he was a bigger fool! His eyes widened and he wanted to slap himself.

"My lord.." Olivia paused when she realized he was not following her. She turned to look at him in confusion only to see him smiling like a fool.

"Yes! Yes." and replied like a fool too. Perhaps, he was happy with the mariage. How could she be so selfish to stop him from marrying. But she could not get rid of that sorrow. She brushed that thought away.

They walked side by side lost in their own thoughts as they reached the large banquet hall. The room was decorated according to the culture of the eastern country. Fresh sunflowers, men holding flutes and food served on low tables while the guests were sitting on the beast’s skin, spread on the ground. There were three men and two women with the second prince, first prince, Amber and Diana sitting with them and smiling.
