39. Effort and Results

Previous ...

Very early in the morning Arron went to train at the training ground. Despite his leg injury, Arron continued training without complaint.

After training, he saw the garden at the Empress's palace and took a walk there. Arron thought of the advice of the butler.

"flower? Hmm .. " muttered Arron.

Arron shook his head and turned and left. However, behind Arron suddenly appeared the empress and greeted Arron.

"His Highness the Crown Prince," said the Empress.

"Oh, Your Highness the Empress. Ma-sorry, I .. " replied Arron felt guilty because he did not permit and went to the palace garden of the Empress just like that.

"Do you want flowers? Take it," said the queen.

Aaron was silent for a moment. He was thinking whether it was right to give Olivia flowers as an apology.

"Come, let me pick it up. I also want to pluck it for me to give the beautiful Miss in the pavilion. I heard from the lady-in-waiting, she likes roses" said the empress.

Arron turned his gaze to look at the empress, "Liking roses?" re-tanyanya.

The Empress nodded her head, "Yes," replied the Empress.

"Then may I ask for a flower from this garden, Your Majesty?" asked Arron for permission.

"Of course, Your Majesty. But why only a sprig? Not a hundred stalks?" ask Empress.

Arron was shocked, "I-it's too much. I'll pick it up later after getting ready. Excuse me first, Your Majesty," said Arron who immediately resigned.

"Oh, yeah. Go," replied the emir.

Arron left, and the Empress stared at Arron's departure until it disappeared from her sight.

"Come, we must also prepare," the empress invited her to her lady.

"Aren't you picking roses?" ask the lady to look at the Queen.

"There's already someone who will pluck it," the Empress replied smilingly.

Actually, the Empress met the butler and the butler told her what happened to Arron.

Olivia stared at the flower Arron was holding, and took the flower. Arron was relieved, his gifting flowers received.

"I'll accept the flowers, but I haven't received your apology, Your Majesty" Olivia said.

"Yes, it's okay. I can understand. It's not easy for you to forgive me. However, I make sure to show you, how serious my intention is," replied Arron.

"Yes, that's up to you. To be honest, I was not expecting anything" replied Olivia, who immediately turned her eyes out the window of the horse-drawn carriage.

Arron was surprised to hear Olivia's reply. He felt more guilty for Olivia.

"Will I be forgiven?" inner Arron.

Olivia held tightly to the flower Arron gave her, "Why is the train so slow? this awkward atmosphere is not what I want. I can't say anything more. Why would he want to show his intentions? What the fuck is this," Olivia's inner.

"No, no. You can't expect anything, Olivia. Can't! What happened in the novel, I will not experience. Let these two main characters be happy until the end, and I am happy with my own life" Olivia said.

While Olivia and Arron are still together. And Olivia's horse-drawn carriage and Arron finally reached the Duke's castle grounds.

Arron opened the horse carriage door and got off. He saw Olivia preparing to come down and reached out.

Looking at Arron's hand, Olivia was worried. He should welcome the hand or ignore it. However, Olivia finally put her hand into Arron's hand and slowly got off the horse carriage. Quickly Olivia pulled back her hand and gave a farewell greeting as well thanking her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Goodbye," said Olivia slightly bowing her head.

"What's? Se-la-mat's staying?" inner Arron.

Victor, Ocatavius and Owen approached Arron and said a farewell and deep gratitude as the Crown Prince deigned to escort him to the castle.

"Duke .. There's something I want to say. Can you spare a little time for me? it won't be long" said Arron staring at Victor.

Victor looked at his three children and asked them to go first to the castle. He turned his gaze to look at Arron and took Arron for a walk in the garden of his house. Arron asked the Emperor's aide to leave first, and he would follow soon after having finished talking to Victor. The adjutant also immediately raised Arron's orders.

Victor and Arron stood staring at the fish pond in the middle of the garden.

"What's up, Your Majesty?" ask Victor.

"Teacher, can I go back to training with you? I mean, I want to improve my training with your guidance" Arron said.

Victor looked at Arron, "Don't you learn everything?" ask Arron again.

"That's it, I guess it's still lacking. Can't you just train with it once in a week?" arron looked back at Victor.

Victor frowned, "What exactly is his intention? why would he want to train so much while he has absorbed and learned everything I give? Hmm .. "the inner Victor is curious about the mind of Arron.

"Yes, okay. Let's practice every weekend" replied Victor.

Arron smiled happily, "Yes, Master. Thank ye. Then I'll go back to the palace. See you this weekend, " said Arron who left immediately.

Arron walked quickly while smiling. He was pleased that he had succeeded in persuading Victor, his teacher. Arron immediately got on his carriage and left the castle.

In room. Olivia sat quietly staring at the flower Arron gave her.

"Why do I feel bad? Is something going to happen? Arron, this young man is really strange," Olivia's inner.

Olivia saw there were several letters and saw who the sender of the letter was. It turns out it's a letter from Chloe, Deon and Issac. Olivia first opened the contents of the letter from Chloe and immediately replied to the letter after she finished reading it.

He continued reading the letter from Issac. From what is written in the letter, Issac managed to recruit several members of the mercenary knight troops again.issac included also the data of the prospective mercenary knights he selected. This time they were from another region and they were indeed in a state of deficiency. However, they have good physicality and capable sword skills, so Issac is interested in recruiting.

Olivia smiled, "Good work, Iss," Olivia murmured. Olivia also wrote a letter from Issac. He praised Issac's hard work and thanked him.

Finally, he read a letter from Deon. Because the construction of the hotel building is not only racing against building workers and also using magic from witches outside the region, the building is getting faster. Deon estimates that in less than a month, everything is finished and the building is ready to be used.

Olivia smiled again. He's happy that the hotel building will finally be. Olivia replies to Deon's letter and says she'll see you meet Deon for tea together.
