Katharine hung up the phone and turned around, smiling lightly. Her gaze driftedzily to the woman in front of her. “For small matters like delivering a potted nt, there’s no need to report to me anymore.”
But Julie felt something was off, there must be something fishy going on.
“Your Highness, Prince Louis and Ivan have never crossed paths before, this potted nt is their only connection. So I’m guessing, is Ivan trying to get close to Prince Louis?”
“Does our Lu Layuoka royal family have anything that Ivan needs?” Katharine asked back with a smile. “What’s the use of him getting close to Louis instead of me?”
Julie was at a loss for words.
Katharine scoffed and said somewhat self-deprecatingly, “I’m a queen who still needs to get close to Ivan, what’s the use of him getting close to Louis? Julie, I’ve noticed you get too nervous sometimes.”
Julie didn’t know how to respond. She just felt something was off. Her brows furrowed slightly as she calmly pondered, no longer debating with the queen.
But Katharine tried to put her mind at ease. “You need to rx your nerves. Louis doesn’t have much capability even though he’s the eldest son. So what? Growing up outside the royal family, he’s like a woman, liking flowers and nts. If you make him king, he might not even be able to hold up this piece of sky.”
“But he is after all the eldest son, the first in line to inherit the throne.” Julie reminded. “For Prince Taylor’s future, we’d better make ns early and prepare for the rainy days.”
“Where’s Taylor?” At the mention of her son, Katharine’s expression suddenly became serious. She asked dissatisfiedly, “Did he go horseback riding again?”
“No.” Julie quickly exined for the prince. “He went to the king’s pce to pay respects early this morning.”
“So proactive?” Even his mother found it surprising.
Julie replied, “Yes.”
Katharine sighed lightly. She didn’t seem very happy either. “Alright, have him go there every day from now on.”
“Yes.” Julie thought to herself, he probably can’t be stopped anyway, since ire is there.
“Taylor should behave well in front of the king!” Katharine had high expectations for her son.
With both sons existing at the same time, there would be unconsciousparisons. Taylor could no longer be as carefree as before.
Katharine said, “Right, keep a close eye on his homework too.”
“Yes.”
Julie was a diehard fan of the queen. To ensure Prince Taylor could smoothly ascend to the throne, she would definitely keep a close eye on him.
At this moment, in Prince Louis’s pce.
The servant carried the potted nt upstairs and ced it in the study as instructed by the prince, because there happened to be an empty spot there, perfect for a nt.
“Alright, you can go now.” Rowan casually flipped through a book. “Close the door on your way out.” His voice was gentle.
“Yes.” The servant bowed and left, softly closing the door behind him.
After making sure he was gone, Rowan immediately locked the door. He swiftly went to the potted nt, and found that the soil was a little loose, not verypact.
So he gently but firmly pulled the nt out with both hands, taking out the box buried in the soil as well.
He removed the box, shook off the soil on top, then rented the nt back into the soil, filling the loose soil tightly.
When Rowan opened the box and saw the colored handkerchiefs inside, he took them out to examine them carefully. Some of the edges had changed color, so he guessed these were food samples.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
There was also a small note inside, in Ivan’s handwriting. It said:
These are samples taken from the kitchen. Try to preserve them. I’m going back to Arkpool City now and will bring you some equipment. Give that note to Jennifer in the meantime. I’ll be back soon. Be careful.
After reading, Rowan directly burned the note and buried the ashes in the soil.
He was so cautious, not leaving a single trace behind.
At this moment, Ivan boarded his private ne back to Arkpool City, carrying the note Rowan had written that he still hadn’t read.
Because reading it would be useless. Only Jennifer might be able to handle it.
