Perhaps Sisi didnt call for for two days or send any nobles to visit out of a considerate whim. My mansion essentially beca a desolate island in the middle of the ocean. Veirya didnt leave. Leah stopped taking lessons after a long ti. The elven diplomat did her best to teach Leah everything. Thanks to the diplomat and Leahs own efforts, Leah was fluent in the elven language in all aspects. Ascillias job request as a foreign diplomat was accepted, so she learnt her job on the go while furthering her own studies as a foreign diplomat. I took care of Lilias child while imparting Ross necessary with experiences for life and began to delegate so of my work to him.
I didnt really know what I was in the imperial capital for initially; however, when I saw everything I saw there, I figured out what I needed to do. My family was doing well, had things to do and lived as they liked. Veirya was no longer a soldier and developed an interest in what nobles liked. I didnt hope for her to change or anything. I just wanted her to be happy and free of stress. If she wasnt bored, I was fine.
Count Lin, here is your tea.
Thanks. I took the teacup from the maid and had a nip.
I silently gazed at the flower outside as well as Leah earnestly studying under the elven diplomat while Angelina and Veirya silently kept Leah company. Leah wasnt our child, but we loved her and cared for her with every fibre of our beings.
Count Lin, you have a letter from the imperial palace. Another maid handed a letter stamped letter.
Sisi sent a letter just when I was wondering why I hadnt heard from her. I took the letter off the maid. I could tell Sisis lady-in-waiting penned the letter on her behalf from the different handwriting.
In other hands, the letter wasnt addressed to solely but all nobles. She rely asked us to attend a conference together. By my estimations, it was to discuss sending businessn to the South. Unlike , the nobles probably wanted to go South with Sisis hopes and requests to overwatch the South and as military contributors.
Maybe we were being asked to handle resources. That was a aty chunk of at for the nobles who wanted to make a massive profit, but I didnt want any part of it. It was better to leave the juicy at for the nobles, or people would catch on to my relationship with Sisi. If Veirya started hearing rumours
Is the ssenger still here? I inquired.
The maid nodded.:Yes. All ssengers from the imperial palace need to ensure letters have been delivered. Can you write a reply now?
Theres no need to write a letter. Just tell the ssenger Im not feeling well, so I cant make it to the imperial palace.
Understood. The maid looked eager to say sothing probably reminding that it wasnt wise to brush Sisi off the way I did. Howbeit, she didnt have the right to nor did I plan to.
Sisi would understand what I implied, so there was no need for to waste my ti explaining. Rather than splitting hairs with nobles, I much preferred watching over Leah as she learnt the elven language from ho.

I have been inford of your plight. I will not go back on my word. I will provide assistance. In saying that, I need to go through the nobles to provide you with aforentioned assistance, Sisi explained from her throne, smiling as she spoke.
Lin Dongqing promised to provide reinforcents, yet it took so much effort to get the promised help when he ca to get what he deserved. Sisi first claid to be ill and then claid she needed to assign the nobles jobs after finally getting the approval to have an audience with her. As frustrated as he was, the boy had to endure.
Why was he able to speak to my Queen fearlessly, while Im speechless against Sisi, whos smiling no less? Im more courageous than him, so why cant I like up at Queen Sisi? inwardly questioned the boy. Understood. However, I hope you can make it quickly
The boy: Im angry, yet Im powerless. This is all I can say.
Sisi patted him on the shoulder and crouched down. She whispered next to his ear, If you want fast, you shouldnt be asking . Theres soone in this imperial capital whos more suited to addressing the matter, and all the nobles fear him. If you want fast, then you need to see him.
The boy shuddered. Sisi leaned back and made a hush hand gesture while smiling. She turned around. Sorry, I am still not feeling to well, so I shall leave for today. If you want the nobles to get on the matter, you should go and see him. I am sure he is still enjoying his familys warmth at ho, so you best bring him a present.
Did you an umm Lin Dongqing?
Hehe. Sisi just giggled and left.
The young boy stood still in place for a few seconds. The eting with the nobles was scheduled in the evening. The nobles ran the businesses in the imperial capital. Put another way, the issue was their resources. Sisi needed them to offer their resources in order to provide assistance. They might not agree to help, though. As such, the boy needed to have soone who the nobles feared or trusted to support him.
Feared or had to trust the boy repeated.
Perhaps that man enjoying his cup of hot tea in his armchair, peeking on the maids curves through their black and white uniforms
