Chapter 167: Full Of Shocks!

"...." silence fell. The girl did not speak in her language anymore. She spoke in their language and with such a perfect accent that even they lacked in front of her.

All this time when she had told them that she did not know their language well, they had believed in it. And let their tongue loose. They were sure as long as they would use their own language, these eastern envoys would understand nothing. Now, William was embarrassed because he knew Diana was haughty. She must have insulted them many times.

He did not care about it as long as his plans were not ruined. But now... his plans were ruined and he could not accept it.

"There must be some misunderstanding." he started but the insolent woman smiled and looked at Damon instead.

His eyes narrowed. Could it be Damon controlling things? He had liked this child when he was young but with time he was gaining more and more power and recognition.

"We will think about the deal if the ducal Aykroyd house manages it." she expressed in a solemn voice feeding gossip to everyone again.

They all looked at Damon shocked. But there was no hint of guilt or shock on his face. From the start, he stood their leisurely as if he could not feel the pressure coming from william.

"He belongs to this empire. Even if he deals, the deal will belong to me." William announced in a voice full of fury.

Shaya nodded as if she had expected these words.

"Even so, my men and I will receive respect." William was humiliated. His face was red and his eyes were burning with hatred.

But he was ruler before a man. And he could never let profit go.

"Very well. I allow you to stay in the ducal house as we discuss the terms again. I will give all the powers of decision making of this deal in the hands of the Aykroyd family." If taking a step back could give him more power, WIlliam would accept it for now.

But he will find a way to find fault in Damon;s decision. The man might be a trained knight but he was not a courtier and lacked experience when it comes to politics.

"I apologize but I could not do that." But before Wiliam could make a plan to insult Damon, Damon bowed and refused the deal at once.

William blinked and then a volcano burst in his chest. He stood up slamming hard on the table.

The nobles took a step back instinctively and looked at each other with an aghast face. They have mocked William a few times but it was never on his face.

They knew how proud William was. Did Damon have a death wish?

"Damon Aykroyd. Would you believe it if I told you that I would announce your death sentence this instant with the crime of treason? I would not care at all that you are a war hero." the voice came through gritted teeth. The nobles were sure that at least a tooth would fall or William would fall on the ground himself with the intensity he was shaking.

Damon bowed his head prepared.

"I know, your majesty. And I will accept it willingly. But even if I want, I can not accept the deal."He looked reluctant and hurt as if she was suffering.

William took a deep breath. Two, three, multiple of it as if he had been underwater for a long time.

He watched the curious faces of nobles and wished he could burn all of them so that this day could disappear from everyone;s memory.

"Why?" it took all in him to not snap again and ask in a calm voice as he sat on this throne again.

"I am not a duke yet. I am just a commoner, your majesty. And a commoner does not have powers or authority to even speak with the boys. Much less dealing with them." her sighed looking hurt.

The room erupted into gossip. They even forgot William for a second. William watched their faces and felt heat rising to his skin. He wanted to delay it to use the chance to his fullest. But he had never expected Damon to play so well.

His jaw clenched and his fist tightened.

"That is a given." he cleared his throat. "But Damon, I have only delayed it because the ducal house was still mourning. The title belongs to you since you are the eldest child. If it makes you insecure, I can give it to you this instant." he nodded at his men.

The men went to bring a letter. William forced a smile for show. Not only his men but Shaya was also watching him intently and he was sure the girl was not as simple as she had shown earlier.

"Oh! I am highly indebted to your majesty" Damon looked relieved and joyous. How he wanted to pull that smile off his face.

"Of course, it is the only right thing to do." William nodded. "I was waiting for your mother to return before doing that! I heard that she had gone north. What is she doing here?" William had a light smile on his face as if he was only exchanging pleasantries. He waited for Damon to stiffen but his attack fell on a soft cotton. Damon only smiled back leisurely.

"She will return soon. I was worried for her so I sent her a letter and sent Theodore to bring her back, your majesty. It pains me a lot that she is suffering so much in the absence of my father. In fact, I am planning to marry her again. She is still so young."

".!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" it was the day of receiving shocks it seems! Even William was stunned by those words. They have heard multiple times that men marry again after the death of their wives. It is only normal to wed much younger girls since they are beautiful and good in bed. And the adults were already married. But then never heard a widow marrying again.

"Who... who is she marrying to?"
