The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1383: The Precious Prince Consort II

The meeting at the royal private audience hall continued for another hours. During that time Lory discussed with her trusted officials about what actions they should take to deal with the enemy’s movements from there Lory learned more about the influence of the S.A.I.N.T. organization through the Saintess on the younger generation just like an idols would.

At the same time, Alexander Behrenn exerted his influence on the concervative older generation while, Luxemborough uses weapons to dominate the political world through arms sales.

With the combination of the three powers, it’s no exageration that in the near future they will rule the whole world, especially without the stumbling blocks like the Lucient family.

"How is the Saintess’ influence in our kingdom?" Lory has seen how the Saintess has gained popularity among the younger generation. With her beautiful face and petite appearance, it is no wonder that many young people are attracted to her, especially men.

Sylvia pondered for a second, then replie,d "Not as strong as in other countries, but with the absence of the Lucient family, we do not know how much longer we can maintain this situation, besides, humans tend to like novelty."

"Are we still going to release the new weapons we created to the market? Isn’t our plan to make the enemy think they are superior to us, would that be ruin our plan?" one of the officials threw a question.

"That’s alright, we can release the prototype version to the market. Although the weapon is quite good, there are some flaws here and there. Based on the tests we have done with her highness herself, we concluded that the user had the skill that at least matches a B-class hunter to be able to use this weapon effectively. So the market for this weapon will be smaller compared to the weapons produced by Luxemborough. In the meantime, Mr. Hamilton will have more time to perfect this weapon," Fredhart explained.

Fargo understood Fredhardt’s plan and nodded, "I know you only want to startle the enemy. Our weapon will not be enough to replace the weapons made by Luxemborough, though it can provide a new addition for people to fight Bael. That alone will cause the Luxemborough uneasy, although it won’t scare them, still, they will going to be wary of other things we might accomplish.

After all, we all know how paranoid they can be with us. So, like a man gets his on fire they will use any means to get information from our country, which means they will coerce, bribe, and threaten anyone to get on his side."

"...and more people will become traitors," Sylvia spoke in an icy tone.

"As long as they believe King Lucas is still injured, they will not be afraid of anything. I would not be surprised if more and more officials voice their dissatisfaction with the royal family; chaos will erupt." Leon clenched his fists, anger welled up in his chest.

Lory spoke in an authoritative tone, "I understand your concerns, General. This is indeed a very risky plan, therefore, we must be careful to sort out those who are forced to betray us from those who willingly betray us. We cannot mistreat the involuntary victim in this situation."

Everyone around the table nodded in agreement. It was common knowledge that what made Harland different from other countries was that they were led by the Lucient family, and without the Lucient family, Harland would be like any other country in the world. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

They will be susceptible to corruption, bribery and disunity, it wont take long before the coward, opportunistic and greedy people will show their true colors, but they must not forget that there are still many like them who are righteous, honest and loyal to the Lucient family and the kingdom.

"Good, is a good plan, I agree with Her Highness!" one of the officials slammed the table excitedly.

Another old official scratched his beard and murmured, "In fact, I already knew few people that harbored this obnoxious though."

"Unfortunately, me too, and this certain person is someone directly under me...." More officials sighed heavily.

Lory raised her eyebrows, not expecting this rotten fruit to be more than she predicted. On the other hand, she knew she shouldn’t be surprised because it was human nature to be selfish and greedy. Still, everyone must pay the heavy price when they cross they crossed the line, and treason is the line that no one should cross.

Fargo cleared his throat loudly to pull everyone back, "Ehm, I leave this matter to your own discretion, however, we must all remember to handle this matter with caution most of all, anything regarding King Lucas’s condition and the return of Princess Lorient to the kingdom, we must not reveal this secret to anyone—I repeat, we must not speak of this matter to anyone, not even your close family even your pets, understand!" Fargo looked at everyone at the table one by one.

"Rest assured, we will guard this secret with our lives, and for anyone who doesn’t, they will answer my blade," Leon openly warned all the high officials in the room.

"If there is nothing more to add to this meeting, then I will end this meeting. have a nice day, everyone" Lory ended the meeting.

After the meeting ended, Lory, Farg,o and Fredhardt returned to the royal study to continue some of the work that was left behind, but Lory was pleasantly surprised to find Zhao Li Xin waiting for her.

The handsome man sat on the chair by the glass window, he was wearing a black turtleneck shirt and black trousers with a dark gray long cardigan as the outer layer. his long black hair was loose on one side, covering his shoulder, making his flawless face even more obvious.

He seemed immersed in the book he read, then his long fingers slowly turned the pages. Although he was dressed in modern clothes, he couldn’t get rid of the sense of mystery and spirituality that felt otherworldly, just like an old elf from a children’s storybook.

"Li Xin!~" The high-pitched voice immediately distracted him from the book, but he didn’t hate it.

Zhao Li Xin closed his books and put them on the table, he turned his head and let out an indulgent smile that can melt everyone heart that se it, "How was the meeting?" he asked.

Lory bouncing her step as she walked towards Zhao Li Xin, she wrapped her arms around Zhao Li Xin’s neck and pecked his smooth forehead. Lory said happily, "It turned out to be smoother than I thought, you were right, there’s nothing to worry about!"

Zhao Li Xin had expected it so he wasn’t surprised. He knew very well how easily Lory won the hearts of the people around her and after months of living in Cestine Palace he could feel that Lory’s existence meant much more to most people in this country compared to other countries.

Even so, Zhao Li Xin not forget to praised her "I knew you could do it, my wife is still the best in the world!"

A faint blush reddened her cheek, "He - he, you’re so nice~"

Seeing Lory like a foolish girl in love, Fredhardt and Fargo felt a a bit uncomfortable, yes, they felt happy for her but at the same time there’s a bit unwillingness seeing the little sister they painstakingly raised was taken away by other man, thankfully, Lory happiness overcame their childish thought, besides , they knew how hard it is for Lucient to find their soulmate.

It was fortunate Lory managed to find her other-half in another world if not how Lonely she would be, and now they only need to worry about their lazy little brother, Lucas.

In fact, Fargo and Lucas had already made a note to themselves that once Lucas woke up from his deep sleep, they would have him socialize with the ladies outside the palace, since Lory has returned, Lucas had no reason not to ming;e with other people. They had to work hard before Lucas became a sad old bachelor!

Meanwhile, Lory had already forgotten about the existence of her two brothers continued to flirt with her beautiful husband "Did you wait for me too long?" Lory playes with Zhao Li Xin smooth hair.

"Not too long. By the way, you look so beautiful today. I feel quite upset letting other men seeing you like this." Although it sounded like a joke, but Lory knew that Zhao Li Xin never said empty words, his possessiveness made her heart soar.

"Do I look ’that’ beautiful?" Lory open her arms showing off her elegant, business-like appearance," Don’t worry. there’s only old guy in the meeting"

"Ha-ha, then I’m glad to heart that," Zhao Li Xin always feels deeply touched whenever Lory accepts all his unreasonable and quirks attitude with open arms.

Fargo ’the old guy’ was shivered to his bone as he watching Lory acting flirtatious in front of Zhao Li Xin, unlike Fredhardt, who was smart enough to immediately focus his attention on the documents on the table, completely blocking his sight and ears from Lory’s mushy voice.

Meanwhile, Lory and Zhao Li Xin were already trapped in their own pink bubble, completely ignoring the presence of others in the room; perhaps she had already forgotten about them.

Zhao Li Xin was amused by how adorable Lory was. He held Lory’s hand then his gaze traced her beautiful face and stopped at a pair of sparkling purple eyes that were staring back at him.

After all these years, those eyes still captivated him. Not because of the unique color of her eyes, but more so the way she looked at him, as if she saw right through him and accepted everything about him, even the worst. It was because that eyes he want to change.

"EHM! You know I’m still here, right?!" Fargo couldn’t take it anymore watching Lory batting her eyelashes in front of Zhao Li Xin.

Instantly, the sweet pink bubble around them burst, and Lory turned to Fargo in annoyance, "...and why are you still here?"

The corner of Fargo’s mouth twitched. "You asked about the Hamilton family’s situation in Eagle Rock City!" he felt wronged.

Lory slapped her forehead. "Oh yeah, right - right - right!" She almost forgot about it.

No wonder Ming Yue Yin once said that some officials always blamed the most beautiful concubine in the harem when the Emperor did not do his duty properly.

Lory laughed it off, and blamed the emperor instead for not being able to control his desires. But now, having been in the same situation, she could more or less understand what the official meant, although she still blamed the emperor.

"Oh yeah, what about the Hamilton family?" Lory released her hug from Zhao Li Xin’s neck. She folded her arms across her chest and her whole demeanor change.

"Clift said the number of Paladin and Argus agents roaming Eagle Rock is alarming; they all seem very eager to find Ethan Hamilton even more than we thought, Honestly, I’m worried about the safety of the entire Hamilton family right now."

"What did Hugo and Edmund say about this?" Her brows furrowed, Lory immediately thought about Lily.
