Chapter 77: In Arms Of Another Woman

"What strange plans? I have no idea what you are talking about, my lord." Olivia turned to the other side and stopped speaking.

Damon could only glare at her and close his eyes. He would investigate the matter when they returned.

The carriage reached the royal palace early in the morning. An hour ago before the assigned time as Damon had predicted.

"Let me escort you to the second prince’s palace first." he offered since she did not have a personal carriage. Olivia adjusted her dress. Since the maid was gone, she adjusted her hair and her make up while feeling his intense gaze.

Instead of feeling refreshed after a long rest, she felt exhausted. He did not stop staring at her. She had felt his burning eyes the whole night.

When the carriage finally stopped, four servants came to escort her.

"My lady." They were confused. "Do you have prior appointment with his highness" Olivia shook her head looking embarrassed.

"Then we apologize! The palace has strict rules." The guards let her inside the palace but they did not guide her where Edward was! Their message was clear. It would be better if she left without asking directly.

"Perhaps you can inform him about my presence first?" she spoke softly but her demure behavior and sweet words earned no reaction. They shook their heads at once.

Olivia sighed but nodded. After all, she knew she did not have the power to force them. And she had already earned a lot from the journey. Edward would come to her eventually, she did not need to hurry it.

"Ah! Well..." with an embarrassed face, she turned to look at Damon then, " I will wait for you in the carriage. If it takes more time, just arrange a meal for me."

"....." Alric stared at her uneasily. She had shifted her weight from one foot to another many times. It was clear that she needed to go to the washroom.

He was not sure how long it would take to convince his majesty. He was not here for a simple meeting. But he did not trust her enough to share his plans with her.

Yet he felt reluctant to leave here. Forget it! He still had some time left.

He took out the broch from his suit and passed it to her.

"....hmmm?" Olivia watched at the insignia in her hands with a lost look. "Do you know how important this insignia is? How can you take it out?" she leaned to put the brooch back on him when he held her hands.

The maids exchanged looks. The lady had her hands on his chest and he had covered her hands with his. They looked like new lovers.

Olivia froze and stared at him with wide eyes.

"I know what I am doing." his voice came low and raspy as he slowly pulled her away from his embrace.

"I want to meet his highness the second prince." he showed the insignia to the maid and guards.

They all exchanged glances and bowed instantly.

"Very well, my lord. Please come with us." The maids guided Olivia and Damon inside the palace.

Olivia paused when she heard a woman’s laughter inside. Her eyes instinctively went to the third room on the second floor.

Damon paused and followed her glance. He was sure it was her first time in the palace dedicated to the second prince. Yet she knew where his room was!

Like she knew where the attack was going to happen in the duke’s estate. Like she knew his father’s crimes! His eyes narrowed. The maid coughed to get their attention.

"I will go and inform his highness. Would you wait here please." the maid pointed at the meeting room.

Olivia reluctantly took her gaze away but Damon noticed two women coming out of the room with Edward behind them.

His hand was wrapped around the waist of one woman. Looking at the marks on their skin, one could deduce what they were doing.

"Your highness you were too rough this time. I can’t even walk without your support." she complained, biting her lips.

The other girl looked aggrieved too. "Yes, your highness, your vigor is only increasing with time. I can not cope up at all." Olivia had bowed her head and walked toward the meeting room.

Damon was not sure if she had heard it or not. But her face did not have any reaction. Even Oriana could not handle her jealousy this well. Edward laughed but before he could reply, he noticed Damon standing in the large hall from the stairs.

"Lord Aykroyd... What a surprise?" He raised a brow and let go of the girls. The girls watched Damon with interest.

The maids looked uneasy seeing their master descending the stairs in just a bathrobe.

"Your highness." Damon bowed at once. "I apologize for interrupting your rest. I was only here to escort my aunt." aunt? Edward paused for a second. His eyes instinctively falling on his servants with a hint of anger.

The maid felt it despite her head bowing.

"They just entered, your highness. I was going to inform you after guiding them in the meeting room." who would have thought you would be flaunting the girls in the hall! Though the maid did not say so! Edward knew what she was thinking.

He felt his chest tightened. If Olivia had the connections she had claimed, then it was important for his future to convince her as his wife.

But now he was found with two women in the hallways. He was surprised by his uneasiness and forced a smile on his face.

"Ah! I was not aware that the lady was visiting me. Please wait in the meeting room, i will join you soon." he hurried away toward the stairs. The women stood there not sure if they should go and join the second prince or leave.

"But, your highness, you have promised us that you will reward us with rare gifts if we..."
