She knew that Stefan left to leave space for her.
In a trance, Stefan's previous appearance suddenly appeared in Martha's mind. At that time, he was domineering and ruthless, but now he seemed to have changed.
He became gentle, careful, and learned how to love others.
Martha grinned. At this moment, she suddenly wanted to take Stefan back to the country and see their home.
She got up and washed up herself quickly, and walked to the living room with a smile, "Stefan?"
"He went out for something."
King Ducasse sat on the sofa, holding a cup of tea just brought by the servant in his hand.
When he came, he ran into Stefan, but the latter said he had something to do and left him.
He probably knew what Stefan was going to do, after all, he had received Stefan's invitation to the wedding ceremony.
He felt that Stefan went to Sam also because of the wedding.
Martha frowned slightly, looked at King Ducasse with eyes full of doubt, "What can he do?"
He didn't know many people in Z Country, nor did he run business here. So, Martha was wondering what Stefan could do here.
The doubt in her eyes grew even more.
King Ducasse shrugged and replied with a smile, "He didn't tell me that, so I have no idea."
After saying that, he thought for a while, and added, "Perhaps, a business genius like him plans to do business in Z Country considering that the Lucas family is here."
Martha nodded slightly upon hearing this.
What King Ducasse said made sense.
For a powerful person like Stefan, making money was his goal, and because of her maiden family in Z Country, he would definitely want to establish a presence here.
In the next second, King Ducasse's eyes fell on her again, and his voice was gentle and mellow.
"How is your health?"
"I'm fine." Martha replied with a smile, then turned to the servant standing not far away and said, "Bring me a cup of coffee."
"Lady Martha, please wait a moment."
The servant replied respectfully, turned around and left the place.
King Ducasse gazed at Martha's every move, and finally he lowered his eyes to cover up the complicated emotions in them.
He had special feelings for Martha.
He still remembered the first time they met, she boldly argued with those rich ladies at the palace banquet.
Later, regarding their marriage contract, she did not force herself to agree to it.
Marrying him meant that she would become the queen of Z Country and had the most noble status, but she sensibly stated the pros and cons of the marriage.
He knew that she didn't love him.
Therefore, he was very envious of his brother Stefan, who was liked by such a courageous, kind and decisive woman.
And in his life, he was afraid that he would never meet such a woman again.
When Martha's eyes fell on King Ducasse again, she happened to see him looking at her in a daze.
She slightly frowned, and asked suspiciously, "What are you thinking?"
"I was wondering if I would meet a girl like you."
After King Ducasse came back to his senses, he smiled meaningfully.
Martha froze, and then she answered freely, "You are the king of Z Country. You can choose whoever you like."
King Ducasse's eyes darkened, and he held back the urge to blurt out "But I only want you".
He knew that there was no possibility between them.
She was his sister-in-law, and it was enough for him to know that she was happy.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, adopting an air of nonchalance, "You're right, as long as I want, I can choose any girl from Z Country."
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant brought coffee and put it on the table in front of Martha.
"Lady Martha, your coffee."
"Thanks," Martha said in a low voice, and the servant exited the living room tactfully.
Before she could speak again, King Ducasse spoke up, "Martha, I wish you happiness."
