Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 551 - Five Hundred And Fifty-one: Send The Strange Boy Away Forever

The third point of view:

"The other lords have promised their absolute support and partnership for the marriage ceremony and the plans for the prince's coronation are already in place," Lord Albert said to the queen.

"Oh right," The queen nodded yet asked, "What are the people's reactions to their prince getting married,"

"As expected, the people are happy that the prince has finally found his beloved. There are no concerns nor doubts if he will be a good leader since you ruled them well and are quite sure your son won't be any different,"

A smile crossed the queen's face, her son successfully captured the heart of the people. Although the common masses didn't have much say in rulership, their support was a huge blessing to the kingdom. If the people are happy, they will definitely work hard to make the kingdom prosperous.

Satisfied, queen Roselle looked up to discover that Lord Albert looked a bit tired. She sighed, knowing what was wrong?

"How's Fiona?" she asked.

Oh, you finally remembered her, He sasssed mentally. Yet the man answered the queen with a smile that didn't touch his eyes, "She's fine,"

His daughter was not fine at all. Fiona was becoming restless and unhappy as the day went by, mounting pressure on him to bring her back home.

"I want you to know that I'm sorry," The queen finally apologized, stunning Lord Albert who never expected that from her. Queen Roselle was a very proud woman hence she apologizing was a huge shocker.

"You were right," The queen went on, "I'm not completely blameless and I want to restitute for that by bringing Fiona back home and compensate her by adopting her as a royal princess of this Lincolnshire,"

Lord Albert's eyes went wide with shock, he bowed his head at once, "Y-your highness, I dare not... I'm not worthy,"

"No," the queen urged him to lift his head up, "I'm the one who sinned against you, please accept this,"

"If you say so then, your highness," Lord Albert accepted the high favor.

Although being adopted as the royal princess of Lincolnshire meant that Fiona would answer the royal family surname, her father didn't mind at all. It was a huge favor to their family that would last for generations. Their family has earned a royal privilege, everyone would die to have that.

"But then, you'd have to give me more time to convince my son. However, be rest assured I won't go back on my words, it's a royal decree,"

"Thank you, my queen, you're so generous," He bowed his head to show his appreciation.

"You can leave now," Queen Roselle dismissed him.

However, at the entrance, lord Albert ran into prince Kai and he did a small bow to show respect before leaving, "You're highness,"

Judy tipped his head, acknowledging his greeting without even staring at him, and walked into the throne room to meet the queen.

Ever since his daughter harmed Emily, Judy lost every respect he had for the man. Moreover, he couldn't understand why his mother would surround herself with those old people who probably had nothing to offer other than their wealth, resources, and arrogance.

His mother would probably argue that the lords were wiser with age and fought alongside her in the battle against the invasion.

However, Lincolnshire had far better youths who were wiser, knowledgeable, and experienced than these power-hungry old men. Young people had dreams and the hunger to change the world! The youth was the power to a successful state.

"Mother," He said, coming over to bow to her.

"Kai, you're here," The woman smiled at her son, "I'm taking it that your friends have arrived,"

"Yes, they're here and I can't wait to introduce them to you," Judy said to her.

"I can see that," The queen sensed his excitement. Her son had never stopped for once to talk about this bond he established with those people before he even had an idea of his lineage. She couldn't wait to meet them as well.

"Alright, I'm ready to meet them,"

Meanwhile...

As soon as Lord Albert made it out of the throne room, he brought out his phone and chatted up his daughter. He couldn't call his daughter on the phone since he was still in the palace, anyone could be listening. Walls had ears.

Lord Albert: I just spoke with the queen, I think you should have a bit of patience. The queen would surely bring you back.

At once, as if Fiona had been waiting for her father's message all along, she came online immediately.

Fiona: what makes you so sure of that?

Lord Albert: The queen apologized to me.?You know she never does that, I think she is sincere.

Fiona: *sends face with rolling eye emoji* So because she apologized, everything is okay? What did her apology do, father? Did It take away the pain I'm in? Did it clear everything that happened so far? And clearly, I'm still hidden abroad! So tell me exactly, what did her apology do?

Lord Albert: You don't understand, but the queen offers you compensation. She would adopt you as the princess of Lincolnshire once you're back.

Fiona: Oh really? She's going to make me the princess and you agree? Such a small bribe and you have gave in right away?

Lord Albert: Fiona, you don't understand…

Fiona: You're the one who clearly doesn't understand! She's offering to make me the princess when we could have the entire kingdom!

Lord Albert: You do know that is treason against the queen….

Bang!

Lord Albert had been so absorbed in his typing that he didn't notice the kid in front of him and bumped into him. The phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

"You kid, watch it!" He barked at the little boy.

"I'm sorry, sir," the kid looked frightened.

At once, the kid bent and picked the phone before Albert could stop him. The kid's eyes lingered on the screen for a while before Albert snatched the phone from him, a look of displeasure on his face.

Had the boy seen his conversation? Albert wondered as he checked the phone, ending the chat with his daughter at once.

"Did you see it?" He asked the boy in a threatening manner.

"See what?" The blonde-haired boy was intimidated.

Lord Albert narrowed his gaze at the boy, wondering if the child was speaking the truth. This was a sensitive matter and if the boy had really seen the chat, then it was serious. He would have no choice but to send this strange boy away, forever. No one would threaten his life nor his daughter's.
