The Heiress

Chapter 116

"So, you are saying that you gave Lisa the pain killer, which Secretary Jia has given you before?" Chaeyoung asked as she furrowed her brows.

"Yes, Miss Park, I believe this medicine is something that has been given by the King personally to all of his close ministers. This is a luxury… A miraculous medicine that can suppress the pain and make the wound heal faster. Ms. Manoban is actually very lucky that Secretary Jia has given her this medicine." The doctor explained before sipping from the cup of tea in front of him.

"See? I told you not to worry! I am actually feeling very fine. My wound is healing perfectly." She heard Lisa mutter next to her.

Chaeyoung did not say anything else, as the doctor and Lisa continued talking about her wound and how to make it heal even faster. She carefully pondered at the doctor's words. She was very curious about that medicine. However, she knew that asking the Lee Family would only alert them and asking Secretary Jia would only make him suspicious.

Chaeyoung mentally took note of having Lisa's blood checked after the doctor left. She then excused herself to take care of more important things considering Luxembourg.

....

On the next day, Secretary Jia came to see Chaeyoung at exactly eight in the morning. To say that he was excited to see her was actually an understatement. He had already wanted to talk to her the day after the incident but he was very busy taking care of the aftermath of that incident.

Now that he finally had the time to see her, he was not planning to waste the opportunity and was determined to talk to her about her ascension to the throne.

"Secretary Jia, please take a seat. Pardon my current appearance." Chaeyoung said the moment he arrived at the living room of Chaeyoung's hotel suite.

"Miss Park, I only saw two bodyguards outside of this place. I think it is better if I assign more men for your security after all…"

"Don't bother, Secretary Jia… I am planning to leave this country as soon as Lisa's wound is healed… Addition security will only be a waste of resources."

"Eh?" Secretary Jia looked at her as questions started to become visible in his eyes. "What do you mean by leaving? Aren't… Aren't you going to ascend and become the first Queen?"

Chaeyoung only stifled a laugh at his words. "Who told you that?"

"Miss Park, you… Are you telling me that you will not become our Queen?" Secretary Jia asked, his tone full of disbelief. If she was not going to rule the country, then… who will become the next monarch?

Sensing the questions in his eyes, Chaeyoung immediately beamed at the old man. "Secretary Jia, this is the reason I have asked you to come here." She then handed him a thick stack of printed papers. "I have drafted a new constitution for this country. I want you and the other ministers to consider it. The monarchy will be dissolved and a democratic government will be established."

The old man stared at Chaeyoung intently before pinching his leg. Was he dreaming? Chaeyoung actually offered to dissolve the monarchy. Was she proposing to change the government entirely? "Miss Park, I don't want to offend you. But… I believe we can't do this now. After the terrorist attack and the destruction of the Zhou Family, the citizens are all hyped up. Our King has just died. Everyone is uneasy, you can see it in the current standing of our country in the Global Market. Some investors have already sold their shares in our businesses in fear that chaos will ensue after the King's death."
