Chapter 82: Securing Money!

Chapter 82: Securing Money!

"I will grant you one wish. Tell me what you want!" a wish! Olivia’s eyes gleamed with joy. She looked at Damon as if she wanted to snatch the wish and use it herself.

Damon’s words died in his mouth. He knew that he would get this reward. Every war hero was given this chance. He was already prepared to ask. But looking at her eyes staring at him as if he was the sole person in the room, he wanted to trade his wish with hers.

William watched as Damon paused. He already had an idea what Damon would ask. Elio had asked Damon to serve him. As the first child of the duke, it must be an unfavorable condition. He was ready to grant him freedom from the royal family.

But the man was staring at Olivia. Did she not say she was here to meet the second prince.

"Your majesty!" a guard came forward, "his highness the second prince is here to meet the lady." William raised a brow. So his foolish son was indeed interested in this girl.

"Lady Witherland, you may leave with the knight. He would escort you out." Olivia stared at Damon with reluctance.

Ask the position of duke! Even if you could not do the paperwork, I will do it with you. That way you do not need to kill anyone. She wanted to shout so hard. But she knew she could not create a scene in the royal palace. In the end, she bit her lips to hide her grievance and left the room.

Olivia’s heart felt heavy. It felt like she was bleeding. Her ears strained to know what he asked but the royal palace had strong walls. She could not hear a single word as she walked in the corridors. The eyes dim and look gloomy when she is escorted to the garden.

A tea table was set there filled with all kinds of assortments. Edward stood up when she walked closer. He noticed her lips curling downward and sighed.

She must be hurt by finding girls in his room. His eyes softened and he pulled the chair for her.

"Why didn’t you inform me in advance? I would have sent a carriage for you and cleared my schedule for you." Even if he was not deeply in love with her, the girl was ready to use dirty methods to help him in winning the crown.

How much had she loved him to go to such lengths!? He should at least be kind to her.

Olivia, who could not let go of Damon’s thoughts, only sighed looking deeply hurt. He felt a pang of guilt in his chest. He should not have brought the girls out in the public.

"I apologize for your highness. I do not know what I was thinking." if she had known this was going to happen, she would have discussed the wish earlier. Her eyes were brimming with unshed tears making Edward flustered.

"It is alright. You can always visit me. After all, we are going to get married." Edward noticed her hand on the table and smiled. He covered her hands with his and squeezed her hand. "Olivia, I plan to be loyal to you. So I will not bring more girls till we are together." His voice was soft and deep like a cello.

His eyes were deep and intent. Any girl would have lost her senses just by looking at his smiling face. Olivia blinked. He was going to get rid of all the girls around him?

"... alright!" Olivia did not point that it was impossible for him. But it did not matter. She was not opting for love but power and wealth.

He noticed she did not trust him. But it only brought a smile to his face. Time would tell! He would make sure that she would be happy.

Even when her face did not look upset anymore. He did not let go of her hands. They were warm and smooth and so soft. If he used a bit more pressure, it would break.

He had been with many girls but most of them were covered with thick layers or makeup or fragrance. Her fragrance was different. Light and soothing. It even felt like herbs. Her face hardly had any layer or make up and her eyes looked so clear.

Edward shook his head. He was not there for love.

"So.." he cleared his thoughts, "is there any special reason for your visit." it was to impress his majesty. Olivia took a deep breath and smiled.

She stared at their entwined hand and then at the maids. He must be putting an effort to look like a real couple after the morning event.

She should add her contribution too.

"I missed you, your highness. You have told me that you will write to me after discussing the matter with her majesty. But I did not hear any reply from you and it made me anxious." her voice had a hint of pain and worry that made him blink.

"Apart from that, I wanted to share the news with you." she pulled her hands softly making him frown. He stared at his empty hands and the loss of warmth. But before he could ask why, she picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Do you know your highness, lady Amber is investing in starting her own salon. Where all the noble girls would come and spend time. If she went successful, her contacts and power among the noble ladies would grow. I am so impressed by her idea that I want to make a salon for myself too." she laughed as if it was a foolish thing to say. "I mean think about it! A salon where the nobles could speak without restraint. If opened well, how many secrets could be heard there. But.." Olivia watched his face changing colors. She knew he had caught her signals, "I do not have funds and resources! I am so pathetic."
