"I am here to offer the grains that your family could not provide this year!"
"...." Leo frowned as he heard the girl. His brows ford a thin line and his eyes narrowed at her face.
"You do not need to hide your crisis from . We are like family, so when i ca to know what happened, i ca running towards you.. I an for the knights! Although I could not do much, we will donate as much as we can to support you! And…" When Leo did not say a word, she thought that he was frowning because others knew about the condition of their family.
Not even once had she thought that he might not be aware about the condition.
"Therefore, I am here to offer 50% of the food supplies of the house of Graistias for the knights!" she had a proud smile on her face as she sat there graciously.
She was sure that he would be impressed and praise her or feel grateful to her. There was no way that he would not see how selfless she was when it cos to him.
'You do not need to worry, I will handle the matter.' Now he rembered how worried Eli was when he was leaving the palace. But not even once had he thought that she was facing a crisis!
Though he still did not understand why his family was not able to buy the food supplies for this month. But he did not want Eli to suffer alone. As her brother, he was responsible for helping too.
"That is very kind of you, lady Olivia!" The man finally maintained his composure and looked back at the girl whose eyes sparkled listening to his complent. "Then, I will ask Arden to help you with the formalities." he looked back at his aide, who already had all the papers in his hands.
His face was looking grim as he looked at the lady and then at his master and bowed his head.
Olivia tilted her head and looked at the lowly knight who was standing there. Did he think that she would work with him? Ha! But then, it was only normal that a man with high standards like Leo would not handle the matter of food supply personally.
He was made to do noble deeds. Just a bit more and then she would be able to have a good impression in his eyes. She assured that he would soon ask her to have a al with him to thank her.
"Sure, my assistant would cooperate with your aide and help in completing all the formalities." she replied as she glared at the girl who was standing behind her like a lifeless statue.
The girl nodded and ca forward hurriedly.
"Go with this knight and pass him all the food supplies from the carriages!" since it was too much she had to bring 5 goods carriages with her to bring all the food supply here.
Arden nodded and they both walked out towards the exit where the carriage stands. Olivia looked at Leo with sparkling eyes. This was her chance since they both were alone in the room.
"My lord!" she fluttered her eyes and called him in the softest voice she had. "I know that you are a bit angry that I threw a tantrum in the academy. I apologize for my behavior. I was a bit sentintal and did not realize that I was crossing my limits. But I hope that you can forgive by looking at the years of friendship we shared!" her eyes were filled with unshed tears as she looked at the man pitifully.
It took him a few seconds to rember what she was talking about but instead of rembering what she had done in the academy, the image of Evan smacking him flashed in front of his eyes. How the girl had the courage to pout and call him hubby in front of everyone. The first in his eyes dissipated unconsciously and his lips curled up.
Olivia who was closely observing his face had a triumphant smile on her face. She knew that her mothers plan would always work.
"So, if you are free, I wanted to have lunch with you as an apology. I would personally ask my staff to make all your favorite dishes." she looked at Leo with expectant eyes. "Even my parents wanted to et you after the tea party incident.
My father is worried that I have angered you. If you would co and have a al with us, he would be assured that it was only a minor misunderstanding between us." she continued as the man did not reply again.
"Are you inviting to the palace of Grasistias, Lady Olivia?" he asked as he tilted his head and looked back at her finally, her lips were still curled upwards but there was a hint of evil on his face that the girl failed to notice and nodded her head shyly.
"If only you agree, my lord. It would be an honor for to share a al with you.
If not, I will think that you have not forgiven and I will continue to earn your apology!" In short , if he would not share a al with her then she would continue to find new ways to pester him and he would have no peace in his life.
"Of course, it would be my honor to visit your palace. How about tomorrow at dinner?" that was it? It was easier than she had thought! As the words left his mouth, Olivia danced in her heart. She could even hear the music of their wedding party in her ears as she imagined both of the standing on the altar and taking the vows to spend their life together!
Her whole face shone and she laughed like spring had co. Before she could nod and accept his offer, his lips parted once again and he added,
"Shall I co with my family then?"
