Chapter 64: Choosen Concubine

Chapter 64: Choosen Concubine

"Aah! It is the position of the head of the second order of knights. Or you can choose to be my personal guard and confidante too." embarrassed, Elio did not know what to say. He had never expected Damon to consider the position when he asked his father to leave. "Lord Aykroyd! You would be treated well in the royal palace."

"I have never doubted it, your highness. It is my honor to serve the royal palace. But I wish to add a few conditions." Elio blinked and then smiled.

"I am listening."

"The first condition is my period of serving will be five years or the death or the death of my father whichever is earlier. As you know, my younger brother is still five years old. He could not fill his position until he had finished his education." When Elio nodded readily, Damon smiled, "the second condition is.."

—--------

As soon as they reached the empty garden in the duke’s palace, Edward turned and held Olivia tightly by her waist. The girl flinched and struggled but when she noticed his red eyes, she paused and took a deep breath.

"Your highness!"

"What game are you playing now, Olivia?" The word felt too intimate in the silence of the garden. She was too close to him. Her whole body was rubbing against him. "When you danced with many men at the royal ball, I thought it was only to entice me. But now.. If you think that I am a play thing then you are hardly mistaken." he let her go instantly. Olivia stumbled a bit before holding her ground.

The man was still looking at him with suspicion. Olivia cursed Damon in her heart. In her past, Damon had only noticed her presence when she had left for the royal palace. But now, he had targeted his enemy earlier.

She gulped her saliva and forced a smile on her face.

"Damon is my nephew. How could I be interested in him? Even if we are not blood related, I will never look at him." she declared making him smile but the warmth did not reach his eyes.

"The child did not think like that! And you are only four years older than him." but as he watched her confusion, his anger dispelled. "Forget it! I do not care what he wants! Tell me, what do you want Olivia?"

That was her chance. Though in a wrong way, Damon had brought her an opportunity. Looking at the dark face of Edward, Olivia clenched her hands into a fist.

"I want to propose a contract marriage to you, your highness." When the man did not react, she continued. "I know that you do not love me. But you are only looking for support to strengthen your position. I will bring you six opportunities without the help of Duke Aykroyd. And in exchange you will give me the position of your wife and pay for each opportunity I provide you."

"..... you can bring me opportunities without Duke Aykroyd’s name." his face fell immediately as if the deal had lost its essence. "You are a fallen noble, Olivia. You have nothing in your name."

"Did you catch the spy?" Edward paused when he saw the smirk on her face. "Opportunity is not only about a name, your highness. You need more than support. You need to leave an impression in front of the royal family, the shrew nobles and your empire. What if you earn many mines which increase your wealth ten times?

Or what if you devise a plan that could solve the biggest trouble of the empire? Would you not be proved a competent ruler then? You can earn more support than you can earn from a marriage?"

"...." edward would lie if he said he was not enticed. But finding more mines was not a child’s play. They have already investigated the whole empire. It was a decade ago when the last diamond mine was found.

And the biggest problem of the empire was lack of land for irrigation since they live near the sea. How could it be solved by a young girl? His face fell instantly.

"Do you have any proof of your claims or you want me to take the gamble?" Olivia did not mind his caution. She was already relieved that he was not sending her to physician for her mental illness.

"I can only prove it if i have your name. Without your name, who would listen to me? You have to marry me first." looking at his darkening face, she bit her lips. "Or at least take me as your lover and invite me to live in the royal palace. If I could not prove my worth in two weeks you can send me back. This way you would lose nothing." EDdward’s eyes fell on her body. He stared at her chest before looking back at her face.

Even if she had to offer nothing, he could take her as his concubine for her gorgeous body. She was enticing.

"My body is not part of the offer, your highness. My mind is." Edward frowned at once.

"You think i will not touch my wife ever?" he laughed as if he had heard a foolish joke. "You are to bear me many kids in the future if we get married."

Olivia flushed. In her both lives, she had never been touched by a man.

"That... then you can touch me if you marry me. But in these two weeks, we are not to cross the line." Olivia shuttered with a red face making his face soften. She was still naive. But looking at her confidence, he was intrigued. It was impossible for her to know his elder brother’s spies.

"You have nothing to lose your highness. You can continue finding a suitable partner in these two weeks." her eyes glistened and glowed under the moonlight. Edward gulped.

"Fine! I will give you a chance. But you can not meet any other man during this period. And you must live under my conditions."
