For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 104



Chapter 104

After returning to his room, Lennox dismissed the two servants, he wasn't planning on exiting his quarters so there was no need for them. Once he opened the door of the study, he saw Ajiad roaming in his study, appreciating his things with a sparkling face. Noticing Lennox, Ajiad's expression changed instantly with a wide blush reaching his ears.

" y, your excellency! "

' why do I feel that he takes me as his mother? '

Lennox sighed inwardly. He sat on his desk and pulled a bunch of documents to work on it, saying casually:" How is Roosevelt's injury? it's been about three months since then, he should be fine by now " 

" Cousin Roosevelt is now able to walk freely in the mansion, however, he still needs more time for full recovery " 

" hmm...tell him to come see me when he is able to " 

Although he was burning with jealousy, Ajiad could do nothing but pass this message to the man in question. He couldn't help but grumbly say under his breath:" I am enough, why call that shameless pervert..." 

Of course, Lennox heard him. When did Roosevelt turn into a pervert? The last time Lennox saw him, he was still the respectful gentleman who would be loyal to his wife and never have an affair, whatsoever, being a pervert.

' Did he get possessed? Not possible, I didn't receive a report about that- come to think of it, aren't you even more of a pervert than him? I mean, look at your face! '

Lennox had no intention of taking advantage of a kid to make him dig the dirt of his own family, thus he didn't inquire about the matter any further.

After giving him some more tasks, Lennox took a wooden box from the drawer and passed it towards Ajiad. The other one, who was busy staring fixedly at him, was startled as he nervously caught the object. Before he could ask any questions, Lennox explained first.

" these are voice transmission talismans I made a while ago, if there is anything infuse some mana in it and it will directly reach me, no need to visit the palace in the middle of the night " 

Ajiad's face darkened. Although he would be overjoyed to receive even a shred of paper from Lennox, however, at this rate he won't have any excuses to visit the Imperial Palace! That's unacceptable!! he still wants to see his idol's face!!! 

" ah, prince. Actually, it's my pleasure to personally meet your excellency, I wish- oh, there is something else inside..." 

Lennox said as he saw him taking out the ring he stuffed under the talismans:" that's a storage ring, I put some useful ingredients and mana crystals for you as a reward for finding that drug dealer". Lennox pause, he raised his head and nodded with a mild smile.

" You have done great, Ajiad "

Ajiad froze for a second, the rems of his eyes reddened as he began to tremble. seeing this reaction, the corner of Lennox's mouth twitched. 

" Why the heck are you crying?? " 

" p, prince, praised me. *sob, and, rewarded, me. *hic, I, am, touched, *hic "

"...."

' Where is your I-don't-give-a-shit attitude you show others???! '

Seeing him talking with a muffled voice and sobbing like a middle school girl, Lennox really couldn't take it, he hated to see people cry the most. He flicked his fingers and Ajiad was kicked out of the room. soon Lennox's clear yet low voice echoed from inside. 

" you should leave now. don't you have summer tasks from school? go home and finish them " 

Ajiad: QAQ!

The next morning, Jennings left to the north as planned. Carson took paternal leave and will be absent for ten days. When Annasophy heard that Lennox would be in charge of the Empire's affairs, she firmly refused to meet anyone outside the palace. Which left the imperial officials with no one to plead for mercy from. The chaos that happened a few months ago will again torture them for another two weeks. 

The current state of the Imperial palace:-

Jennings: gone somewhere

Bernard: gone somewhere

Kai: vacation

Oliver: gone somewhere

Carson: took paternal leave

Rachel: took maternal leave

Annasophy: soon will go somewhere

Bun-Bun: vacation 

When Everly woke up and found out that Jennings has sneakily left in her sleep, she started crying miserably. No one knew how to shut her up so she was thrown into Lennox's room. Everly sullenly shook his shoulder to wake him up, the first thing Lennox saw as he opened his eyes was Everly's snot-and-tears covered face.

He frowned and said in a sleepy tone:" what is it? Why are you crying? "

However, she couldn't make any understandable words, only some babbles and choking noises. Luckily, Lennox figured out the reason why. He pulled a handkerchief from god-knows-where and wiped her face.

" Are you lonely? "

Everly nodded. Although she doesn't dislike the servants and other workers in the palace, she still feels uncomfortable when she is alone with them. And now, she was surrounded by many unfamiliar faces that she got scared and alone.

" Okay now, stop crying, look at how swollen your eyes are "

When Everly finally stopped crying, Lennox made her drink some water then laid her beside him. He had raised seven healthy children before, the eighth might be a little different than the others, but his experience with the previous ones is engraved deeply within him. Even if he was half asleep, Lennox still knew how to coax her.

He caressed her back gently, saying:" Shhh, for now, take a short nap. When you wake up I will invite someone to play with you, hm? "

Everly buried her face in the croak of Lennox's neck, tightly holding the corner of his pyjama. She asked in a low voice:" Are they pretty? "

" Yes, he is pretty, tall and funny. When he comes, how about you take him to ride Chan-Chan around the palace? "

" hn, Everly will ride Chan-Chan with the pretty person "

" Good girl, now sleep "

Maybe because she was exhausted from crying for hours, or because her head is as blank as a brick, Everly fell asleep in minutes. After casting a spell, so she wouldn't wake up for the next six hours, Lennox called for Walter.

" Contact Princess Teneale, invite her to the palace in the afternoon, it's time to hear her answer. Oh, and make sure they bring little Augy with them "

Soon after saying that, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
