"Well, are you coming with me then?" Since the day they have come back, the man has always been with her and has helped her in handling everything.
She had become accustomed to his company but she knew that this time she was asking for more than he could provide.
"You know that I can not. You have to go and handle the matter by yourself. But you know that you always have the solution and you can call me or others whenever you need!" she nodded with a sigh but then when she looked at him, her eyes were full of confidence.
"Alright. Then I will see you later. Are you going to stay here?" she asked as she tilted her head but as expected, he shook his head,
"No! I have a few matters to deal with!`` She knew that as an alpha, he had a lot of duties and she was binding him by keeping him here all this time.
She wanted to tell him that she would not mind if he would be gone for a few days but in the end decided against it as she did not know how he would take her concern as she could feel the distance between them due to last night.
She nodded and left from there, though she was expecting him to say something or maybe just give her an assuring hug.
Walking away towards the carriage, she gave one last look to the door that was still deserted and shook her head.
"Take the carriage towards the council of ministry!"
—-----
"I have heard that the head of the council has retired suddenly and so has his assistant.
And both places are taken by new persons instead of giving the juniors promotion like always!" came the irritated voice of a clerk who would have received a promotion if others have gotten a promotion too.
"Shush, do you not know! They were not at the age of retirement and neither they wanted to take retirement but they were forced to do it due to the lords that wanted their post!"
"Oh! But who has the power to force a duke to retire except the royal family? Then how did it happen!"
"I have heard that the crown prince had come personally to request the duke to leave his post. A good show was performed.
In the end, he had to use his authority to force the duke!"
"Really! I can not believe that the crown prince used his powers to force someone!"
All the clerks and lower staff of the ministry were gossiping with widened eyes.
This was once in a lifetime incident that both higher posts of the council of ministers were emptied overnight and were given to amateurs.
"What are you doing while standing there? Is the work for today already done? Huh?" the sound of marquis shook them and they all turned to look at their senior with scared faces.
"No! I apologize to my lord. We were just discussing the matters of today!" they bowed and soon scurried away to their seats.

"What is happening? Are the rumors true?" Asked Jonathan as his eyes filled with the spark of greed.
He had wanted the duke to leave since forever.
The man was trying to threaten him and for him every now and then since they belonged to the competitive families.
"Yes! The crown prince has personally asked for both of the seats to be vacant.
I heard that a lady and a foreigner were appointed on both seats." the marquis shook his head.
The more he thought about the matter, the more he felt like a headache was forming. He could not believe that the crown prince could take such a decision too.
He had always thought that Alcastra was a wise and rational ruler.
"Oh! A lady and a foreigner! Did that mean they both were amateurs and could make a lot of mistakes and leave soon!" asked Jonathan as the glow in his eyes increased.
If that happened then he could take the benefit as he was the third in command after the duke and his son. Now that the family of duke was out, it was his chance to shine! And if they made a lot of mistakes he would be one to be promoted!
He felt pity for the Harenstine family that had lost their powers overnight.
But he felt glee that he was going to shine from today. Even if they tried to learn, he would make sure that they would never be able to do it.
No one would support a foreigner and a lady in the ministry so they would not even be able to take help.
Oh lord! He was not able to stand straight with all the happiness he was feeling!.
"Yes! I did not even know what his highness was thinking. But there is a strict order that we will help the newly appointed higher ups as much as we can.
I am glad that I am not in the tax and finance department but only handling tourism and trade.
You have to bear the new authorities, lord Jonathan!" the man pinched the space between his eyebrows and sighed.
But there was no anger or panic in the eyes of Jonathan, if any, there was glee and sincerity,
"You do not have to worry about that marquis Blestoneshire, i would try my best to help them. Since my main goal to be here is to serve our empire and make sure that we all progress together with its subjects!" His tone was soft and calm with a hint of kindness that made the man feel proud.
He did not know why the duke and his son never liked this kind man. It must be due to the family.
He shook his head and hoped that the change would bring a better future for the kind boy,
"Then, I will leave the responsibility of welcoming them and giving them a tour to you, lord Jonathan!"
