Lucas said, "I asked Eva to protect Edward, your highness. She just did as what I said. I didn't expect her to be used by someone who wanted to hurt you. Eva has always been doing her best by my side. I really appreciate the excellent bodyguards of your royal family. I hope she can recover as soon as possible and continue to do her duty by my side. " As an outsider, his explanation was more convincing than Edward.
The queen kept silent for a while and said to Prince Edward, "Your Highness, you must be astonished by what happened today. I will order them to severely punish those who incite the wrong and give fair play to your highness." She turned to Lucas, "as for Eva, the safety bureau will recover her work as soon as possible. Mr. Lucas, please rest assured."
The imperial edict seemed to have carried out smoothly. The only one that was displeased in the parliament hall was Princess Daisy.
After Edward and Lucas left, the queen turned around to face Daisy and said, "are you satisfied with what I have done?"
"Mother!" Surprised, Daisy lowered her head with guilt. The mother knew her daughter so well. How could her small tricks be hidden from the queen's wise eyes?
"It's not going to change anything about the marriage. You must put the interests of the whole into the first place." The queen said in a firm tone. Biting her lower lip hard, Daisy stood up and ran out of the hall in a rage.
She was like an injured reindeer that never stopped in the wind. She ran forward regardless of everything, until she saw the tall figure of the man in front of her.
"Mr. Lucas." She called him in a low voice, out of breath.
Lucas stopped and turned around. When he saw her sweating, he was slightly surprised. "Anything else, your highness?"
"Can I ask you something?" Daisy raised her head and looked at him.
"Go ahead, your highness."
"Mr. Lucas, you seem to be quite fond of Eva, aren't you?" Her tone was sour, as if she had just drunk a lemon tea. She had kept it in her heart for a long time. When she had been in Provence, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong between Eva and him. Now she had to ask clearly in order to make a right decision for her future.
"Your Highness, you misunderstood me. I was just telling the truth." Lucas explained.
"We have so many royal guards in H Country. Why do you insist on Eva?" Daisy kept asking.
"Because I only know Eva. I don't like strangers around me." He said unhurriedly, "I'm sorry that I made a rude request to transfer Eva to me without your permission. Please forgive me!"
"I didn't mean that." Daisy bit her lips. It seemed that Lucas had misunderstood her, but she could not speak out her thoughts to him. She frowned, and her heart was suffering from a strong contradiction.
She didn't know that he said that deliberately to stop her. He had to maintain the relationship with her, neither too far nor too close, otherwise it would have a huge impact on the cooperation plan.
Just as they were talking, the prince was not far away, with a pair of deep and unpredictable silver green eyes staring at them deeply. From the corner of his eye, Lucas turned to him and nodded slightly to him. Seeing him, Daisy had no choice but to turn back to the palace.
