It was difficult for Lena to hide her excitement . The more Chamberlain looked at her, the more cautious he felt .
"There's definitely something wrong with her . " He added .
Carl's lips twitched, he stared at Chamberlain like he was crazy .
Unconcealed disdain flashed through his eyes, "She's normal, you're the abnormal one .
Wait! This is the reason you pulled me out of my office? There really must be something wrong with you . "
"Hey! You can't talk to your boss like that . " Chamberlain said, feigning anger before explaining, "She's usually stoic and doesn't smile much . Most of the time, especially when she's with me, she has her head lowered, blus.h.i.+ng silly . Now, she's prancing around with so much confidence and a smile plastered on her face . I really don't want to talk about what happened during the weekend . Do you think someone else replaced her?"
Interest flashed through his eyes, however, he quickly covered it up . He definitely wasn't concerned . It doesn't concern him .
"Anyway, she's your problem, don't bother me anymore . "
"What bother? If I don't come to you, will you even remember to have lunch? I'm such a good friend and boss, you ungrateful shrew!"
As Chamberlain fussed and cussed, Carl strode away not sparing him a glance .

"Hubby, what do you want for lunch?"
"Hubby?!!!" Those words repeated in his head and all he wanted to do was run away . Since when did she start addressing him with such terms of endearment?
Chamberlain missed the days they only spoke when necessary .
Clearing his throat, he replied, "I'm fine with anything . "
"Ok, I'll make a call for delivery then . "
After she spoke, she did not wait even a second more before going away .
Seeing the way she did things, he had no way to rebuke her, he couldn't even tell her to stop . This point alone made him feel insecure . Everything was telling him to run away as fast as he could but at the same time, he felt glued to the spot .
…
" . . . just go collect the things from my bas.e.m.e.nt, make sure no one sees you . "
"Yes boss! When will you return to work?"
"Not now, just keep going according to the plan, I'll join you soon . "
This was the conversation Chamberlain stumbled upon when he went to call Carl for lunch .
Although he did not hear what the person on the line said, he clearly heard everything Carl said .
He stood by the door that was slightly ajar wondering what the call was about .
"Make sure no one sees you…"
" . . . according to the plan . "
"I'll join you soon…"
He was not sure if it was something private or something to be wary of .
After Carl hung up, Chamberlain waited a few seconds before entering into his office .
"Let's have lunch," he smiled warmly .
To his surprise, Carl's expression did not change a bit . He wasn't sure if it's because it wasn't a secret or if Carl did not notice he overheard his conversation .
He decided not to pry .
"Must we have lunch together? Go eat with your wife . "
To think he would have gotten used to eating lunch with them .
"She brought home cooked food for you too, don't waste her efforts, let's go . "
Carl had no option but to honour the invite .
…
Over at the King's base .
The King had been too busy recently he did not have the time to "remind" Carl of his presence .
He had just returned from a meeting concerning the changes within the state .
Through the meeting he was able to confirm his suspicions so he decided he would not let the Stans continue to do as they liked . That was what the elders decided anyway .
Part of the responsibility of ensuring people stayed in their place was on his shoulders . Being the dog of the Council of Elders was part of the price he paid to remain alive .
Yes, the rumours were correct, his father was the only surviving member of the Blanc family . He escaped with the help of his close friend . He enjoyed a peaceful life with his mother before that event that claimed the lives of his parents .
Though he had a little sister, she's currently missing . After searching for her for years without any result, she's a.s.sumed dead .
An offer came to him after killing his way through the underworld . As the only surviving member of the Blanc family, become their dog or die .
Obviously he chose to live in order to find his sister even if it meant working for those that ended his line .
As he worked directly under the Council, he had powers that was only below theirs therefore he had more resources than the biggest aristocratic family .
He had put plans in motion to make sure the Stans behaved… or cause their backer to abandon them .
Chamberlain had no idea what was coming for him . In fact, the Stans had no idea what was coming .
They had been too careless . They should have retreated when they found out he noticed their movement .
The King wrapped up a package using a gift wrap, the contents unknown . After which he asked his subordinates to deliver the package to Carl in a way that he couldn't ignore .
His subordinate did exactly that .
