Alexander was pacing back and forth making the present palace maids almost dizzy.
"What took them so long?"
He was anxious and nervous upon hearing how the meeting of Organization Trade went on.
He hoped everything was alright.
So, all of their other efforts would not go to waste.
Seconds later, the people he was waiting for finally arrived.
"How was it?"
He asked anxiously, seeing their gloomy expressions.
"Alexander... "
Alexander unconsciously gulped, waiting for Freschia's next words.
I-Is it bad news?
"I'm tired."
His shoulders quickly slumped, feeling disappointed and angry.
"YOU BRAT!"
Freschia just ran away towards the stairs, giving him a silly face by sticking her tongue out before disappearing.
That kid...
She was quickly gone like an air.
He faced the others back.
"So..."
Khan sighs and smiles.
"We succeeded your majesty. Only two of the merchants didn't agree to invest while it was different for the rest."
Alexander smiled back with relief upon hearing the news.
"They agree to invest the needed funds, materials and equipment." - Xinlan
"The kid...
We investigated and discovered he's not your daughter." - Yen
Alexander quickly paled and made a fake cough.
"You didn't have anyone you're in a relationship with. So how can you bear a child?"
Yen added with a teasing smile.
Alexander quickly blush by his remarks and the two adults laugh while Khan just smirks seeing his embarrassed expression.
"Hmm...So? She was still in my custody."
"Acting like a guardian now, huh."
Alexander pouted, feeling defeated.
Actually, these two adults are the closest to him compared to the rest of his subordinates.
That is why, they can tease him without feeling uncomfortable and he can also act childish in front of them.
"Although, we didn't mind Alexander."
The two suddenly become serious.
"It would be great if she became your daughter."
"W-What?"
"The child showed a shocking but excellent performance a while ago. She handles everything very well." - Yen
"Aside from that, she is very intelligent. She can be your great weapon in the future. A formidable guide as you run the kingdom." - Xinlan
"Mr. Lan offered her to be his apprentice." - Yen
Hearing it, Alexander's eyes widened.
"The lead figure of the Organization Trade?"
