Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1316

King strolled next door into the grand study, settling into a leather armchair surrounded by shelves brimming with classic American and British literature. In no time, his advisors gathered around him.

Their main concerns were his need to settle down and marry, along with some recent developments in Saudi Arabia. Having orchestrated a coup in Saudi Arabia earlier, King had already planted his loyalists within the royal family, ensuring no internal pressure on him. Yet, some influential Saudi families were still causing a stir.

"I'm still young. Let's revisit this later. Right now, I'm in the process of courting her. We've been through a lot together and are still building our relationship," he said, his tone casual yet firm, his sharp gaze meeting each advisor's eyes.

"As for those women downstairs, I won't send them away. It's a way to appease those families," he added.

Sending them away would only stir up trouble, so it was better to keep them around for now, even though he had no plans to entertain them. His words eased the tension in the room, and the advisors dropped the topic, only requesting that he marries at least ten women within two years to ensure a line of heirs for the kingdom.

Brielle could faintly hear the commotion from next door but didn’t bother to listen closely, drifting off to sleep instead.

"We're still searching, but there's no need for you to worry," he reassured her, his tone suggesting he had everything under control.

Brielle finished her meal, contemplating a walk in the beautiful garden but quickly dismissing the idea at the thought of the women waiting downstairs. King had to attend to state affairs, moving his desk into the bedroom to stay close. Brielle found comfort in his proximity, deciding not to dwell on anything else.

Her life in Saudi had been confined to this room for three days, with meals delivered and bedroom activities substituting for walks. Surprisingly, she had gained a few pounds. During her unconscious state, King had the contraceptive implant removed, fearing it might cause discomfort if left inside. Though Brielle’s health issues made pregnancy difficult, King took extra precautions each time, not wanting to risk her well-being. Despite living carefree these days, Brielle sensed King's urgency whenever they were alone, as if cherishing every moment with fervor.
