"When I told the king that you wanted gold, he couldn't believe my words. But when he heard you asked the Queen for compensation, his jaw dropped on the floor." Mo Li smiled. "You should have seen your father's face."

"I could have asked for more if you didn't arrive."

"The King was worried the Queen would try to hurt you."

"She couldn't." Lucinia shrugged.

"He was afraid you would hurt her if she says something not pleasing to your ears."

Lucinia frowned. "Killing the queen would be better for him."

She nodded. That actually made sense. "I have asked the Queen the properties surrounding your estate. You should take care of it."

"Hmmm. Come here." He pulled her towards him as the carriage continued rocking beneath them.
