Chapter 191 - 189: Partnershi+p II
Then, there's also the idea which she garnered fro other novels where they can atte of it already gives her a headache Even if it's the last option, she would never want them to take it
First, she would never want Charlton to betray hih he would be quite the treacherous character in his plan, it was nothing unforgivable Second, she does not want to become some Helen of Troy, not that she's presuoes that far Third, well, Geoffrey was also a good guy, how pitiful would he be if even his crown gets stolen froht have some male lead halo so there's that Lastly, fine Let's be honest She's afraid of anything that has to do with killing people She was born and lived in peaceful tis she ever watched in the news, movies, or read in novels If all else fails, she would rather go to the mentally ill route Perhaps it would even be effective
Anyway, going back to Charlton's plan, she thought of being like those Mary Sue protagonists in the different novels she has read, but reality was not as kind to her Her friends were all girls frodoms, and she only has Bernard and Beatrice with her as her aids She had no other informants aside frouild (she can't even because she's too popular), and aside fro?
Yes, she's popular, but she was still sohter of a duke and a queen in waiting, she was still a girl Co a queen-in-waiting, but she can't even use that Without it, will people in power really listen to an 18-year-old girl? Just do an eye-roll
So, at the end of the day, she realized that she can only leave the political arena to Charlton She trusts him and she also wants to show him that he has her confidence That however does not ht in the shi+ning ariven her current circu point lays in the social arena and she could build on that Right now, she's quite popular with the nobles and the iven the project 'we are the world', her name would be even ed sword But it is only through it that she can be her own person and at the same time, be of help

Edward started chuckling as he held his hand up "Okay, I'ed I was not so innocent but to be fair, I also had your best interest in mind"
Charlton just raised a brow and kept his eyes straight at hi
Edward knew that he could be , he just went out with it in the open "I will be honest with you Charlton You really have the talent for music, but that was not the main reason why I approached you I think you already know that the court is now divided into 2people to join the is, there are people who doesn't want to join any of the two for certain reasons Whether it be not believing their ideals, or because they don't want to gamble to protect their wealth or loved ones But the proble forced to make a choice And, this is where I need your help" Edward explained as he stared at Charlton waiting for his response
Charlton did not answer immediately He first let his words sink in From here, he can establish that Edward is not froive me too much credit"
"We both know that that is not the case"
Charlton chuckled Indeed, he was not wrong If he did not have any ulteriortied to him was the safest bet if they want to remain neutral The monarchist will think that they will be inclined to side with the's nephehile the radicals won't touch therand duke "You do know exactly that I aoodness ofit for their own benefit And only you,it for love, and for me, that reason is far nobler than any of the others So, despite being not the safest boat anyrin
Charlton sighed, "Who else are with you in this? Also, what is your main objective?"
"To be honest, not a lot Mostlycows of whichever faction and get eet protection fro to recruit us to becoh we have other aspirations, they're quite premature to talk about for now as that will depend on the route you will choose to take in the future"
Charlton finally nodded his head Thinking that he can ith that "If it is only protection that you want, although I'm not the Marquis yet, I suppose my presence in your company will suffice As for the others, well, I only have arding that, I'll talk to them about it But in my case, I' with Charlton's suggestion There is no such thing as free lunch in this world
Serena's eyes mooned as she listened at the sidelines It was the first ti so serious and mature He also handled it so well that she did not have to add any of her input Anyas he thinking what she's thinking? If he is, then by Gods, they are about to strike gold
