Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 104: Engagement!?
Carla, and Selia walk behind Albert to return to their room.on their surface is calm but inside both of them, a feeling of named fear fills them. what Issac whispered was still ringing in their heads.
"I don't know what purpose Conrad sent you into this house. I'll let you do what you want, but, if you start getting in the way of my plans and Albert's brother, well, well, maybe I'll have Brother Albert kick you out."
there's no death threat there. Issac has no intention of hurting them at all, but the final threat really shocks them.They are the ones Conrad sent to spy on Randall's family and assigned to be Albert's Personal Servant.
five years they worked, the seeds of love grew between the two of them. it was something that was not expected by Carla or Selina.See Albert worked hard to take care of the needs of his people, and the, even willing to stay up late if there is one of the residents in the Randall area who is having difficulties and coming to him makes them both fall in love with his person and nature.
"Carla, Selia, tonight will you two sleep with me? I'm quite tired today. sleeping with you guys will make me more refreshed and calm."
seeing Albert's smile and his soft sentences made the two of them embarrassed, so embarrassed to the point of wanting to answer what and finally just give a nod in response.
arriving at the room, Albert immediately went up to the mattress without changing his shirt at all.well, he did not lie or make small talk when saying that he was exhausted.even in just half a minute, he did not lie, a soft snort was heard. Selia and Carla looked at each other and smiled, they changed clothes and used pajamas, then took positions on the right and left of Albert.
they looked at Albert's face which was very similar to his father's.they were still worried but at least this man's sleeping face made them a little calm. Carla and Selia are cousins to each other. Both their parents, even their grandparents had served the Conrad family long before they were born.
Carla and Selia are aware that they cannot stand on either side. someday they have to choose.whether it is the Conrad or Albert family.but the two girls forget about the matter now. after kissing Albert's cheek, they also fell asleep with their hands tightly gripped.

the one thing I find most difficult to do is to separate people who love each other. I cannot see their cries. Also, it is my sin in the old life. I sent soldiers to the front lines, making their wives and children cry and think that it was the last moment between them.
I realized that Albert's maids loved his current master, which is why I gave Carla and Selia a chance. They had to choose whether to remain Conrad's spy or side with Albert. I don't mind if they choose Conrad but on the condition that they leave Albert's brother.if they remain standing on both sides, I'm forced to get rid of them.
geez! why else would I have to face something like this!? is this a curse for me? well don't even think about it. ah right, about Selia and Carla, it was VIESTA agents in Conrad county who reported it to me. Conrad not only had spies in Randall's house, but also in other noble families, including his allies.
Conrad was stubborn.I thought the matter would be resolved when I finished off all of his spies in Randall County, but I did not expect that they had gone this far even into my family's private life. this family really makes me sick to my stomach.
"Sir Is, is there a problem? your breakfast will soon be cold if it's not eaten soon." uh, I forgot that my dear service, Via, was eating with me. it would not be right if I said that Via was my servant because he is still listed as Lili's personal servant.he asked permission from the Balzaac family to serve me for a while.
I really enjoyed my time with him. I had not seen Via. holidays last year, Via was taken to the Balzaac region so I could not meet him. thank goodness I have plenty of time with him.
"OKay I'll eat. By the way Via, will you enter the academy in the new school year?"
"yeah! Mr. Arthur and Mrs Maya and Mrs Luna told me that they would send me to the academy and cover the cost of education! I'm glad I didn't have to be far away from Mr. Is or Miss Lili!"
holy jeez! I stroked Via. she closed her eyes comfortably. How should I say this? he is similar to Lili. in front of others he will act rather cold and act or speak as necessary.but when dealing with people close to him, he will behave spoiled.
"I just remembered too. Mr. Arthur calls you to the office after you finish breakfast later." eh? Dad called me to the office.tumben once.usually Albert's brother who was called by father.
"Well, after this I will go there. will Via come?" Via shakes.
"Sorry sir, I have to help the others to prepare lunch.I'm sorry." well, don't be so moody.
finally, Via and I enjoyed our breakfast before it cooled down.
****
after breakfast I didn't go straight to my father's office.we both took the time to relax first.we rarely met yesterday so I decided to play with Via. after twenty minutes, we both took the time to relax first, then we split up.
during the trip to my father's office, I met with Sasha's sister and Misha's sister. They said he was also called father. That's why we ended up going there together. right next to the library.
when I arrived at the office, my father was struggling with a sheet of paper.on his desk there were also two letters that had been opened and in the reverse position.
"Dad, did you call us?" I asked the father who was still writing something on a piece of paper when his children had entered the office.
"Ah, you've come. Please sit in front of me. There's something I need to talk to you guys about."
we sat down on the chair that my father had prepared.he put away the papers that were blocking him and started talking.
"Is, I've talked to your mother.also with Maya.sorry to tell you this all of a sudden.we decided to betroth Is to a noble princess."
the news from my father was like lightning in broad daylight.Of course I was very surprised.But Sister Misha and Sasha were much more shocked than me. eh, I? I'm engaged!!!?
