Chapter 83: Leaving WIith My Aunt

"I will provide you with anything you need!" his heart raced. "Even if you will not get more successful than her, you should at least do what you desire." His voice was so soft and soothing as if he would do anything for her.

The maids could not help but steal another glance at the woman. She had a good temperament. She even thanked the knight who had brought her here and she did not look haughty. But she lacked funds! Which noble lacked funds?

Would such a girl be chosen by her majesty?

"Olivia, you should try this. This is the speciality of the royal chef." Edward knew what the maids were thinking. There must be one or two maids that were sent by his father and mother. He needed to leave a good image of their pair in front of them.

Hearing him, the maid came forward to cut the pie. But Edward raised his hand and stopped her. He personally cut the piece of pie for her and placed it on her plate.

Olivia blushed sweetly and played with her hair looking around. Her rosy cheeks gleamed under sunlight. Edward’s heart skipped a beat and for some reason his mood improved.

"Thank you, your highness." her soft voice was enchanting. For some reason, watching her eat felt so soothing. Her eyes beamed as she tasted it and with a twinkle in her eyes, she took another bite with joy.

Her smile must be infectious, he found himself smiling with her.

"I will follow your idea, your highness. If the food prepared by a royal chef is served in my salon, it is going to be the most popular place in the empire." She laughed as if she could already imagine all the noble women sitting beside her eating these pies.

"...." he had given that idea? He looked at the pie and then at her feeling helpless. He only wanted to share the food with her. She looked so thin and pale. Was she even fed well?

Though Oriana has presented Olivia as the second in command in the ducal house, Edward was not a fool to believe it.

"But what if her majesty refused? After all, royal chefs were exclusive to the royal palace. If they will serve others.." Olivia bit her lips. Though it would create a sensation, Gabriealla might feel it was her insult.

Amber had not spread her wings yet. But in her past life, Amber had opened a salon and made good contacts. She had half the nobility in her hands.

If she could open one before Amber and make sure that it runs well, she could be stronger than Amber. Her eyes filled with images of the future already.

"...." Edward felt at a loss of words. He knew that the scheming woman was not thinking about him. He had misunderstood here. She was not here because she missed him. She was there for business. A business to make him the crown prince. The thought ran like a jolt of electricity in his body and his hands shook.

"I will convince my mother. You do not need to worry about anything, Olivia. Just make a rough estimate of the help you will need and I will provide you everything. But you must open the salon before anyone else." Olivia nodded. Even she knew, copied things would not be successful among nobles.

She had to be the one to initiate it.

"Thank you for your unconditional help, your highness. I will prepare the draft well. But for the start, I have prepared this for you." she stared at the knight who had escorted her here from the central palace.

The man brought a file for Edward from her carriage. Edward raised a brow but she only smiled without saying a word. He flipped the parchment and his eyes widened.

"This..." once started, he could not stop himself. His eyes filled with a myriad of emotions. For surprise to shock, excitement to thrill and in the end disbelief.

He had thought she was only speaking to get his attention but who would have thought. His heart stirred. If the plan worked...

Olivia smiled sweetly while eating her pie as if she had no idea what he was reading. Her expression was like a woman in love.

"You know, your highness. I have always loved sweet food. Sugar! That had only been provided to nobles as a luxury! Whenever I eat it, it provides me comfort that I am still one of them." She ate another bite of the pie.

A drop of honey touched her lips and stayed there. Edward stared at her lips and gulped. His Adam apple bobbed and for some reason, he could not take his eyes away.

"Olivia!"

"Your highness, you should read more before promising anything. This is my part of the deal. Now I leave the rest to you." She finally finished the pie and placed her fork down. She knew she had to convince Edward completely.

That is why she had taken the risk and shared her best business plan with him. He would not ask for profits right? She picked up the napkin and cleaned her face. The drop he wanted to taste was gone just like that.

It was a pity! But Edward finally looked away and noticed the file in his hand. His eyes gleamed again with a completely different desire.

"You do not have to worry about anything, my lady. You have my words. I will collect everything in three days. How about I come to meet you and speak with Duke Aykroyd too? We can go to the city on a date."

Edward held her hand and kissed the back of it, proposing to her. Olivia blushed like the women in love and nodded her head shyly.

His eyes started at her and even after kissing, he did not let go of her hand. The couple behaved as if they were the only one in the world. Until...

"Aunt! We need to leave now."
