78 STORY OF MY LIFE

"IS IT really okay to let Princess Neoma deal with the matter regarding Duke Drayton's arrest, Your Majesty?"

"It's Neoma that we're talking about here," Nikolai said without looking up at Glenn. He still had a lot of work that he needed to finish for the upcoming coronation. "I'll meet the duke once the royal princess is done talking to him."

"Duke Drayton is angry."

"Your Majesty?"

"He is angry," he said, then he looked up at his knight. "He's quiet because he's planning a grand revenge for the humiliation that the "crown prince" made him go through."

The knight suddenly looked concerned. "Then, shouldn't you deal with His Grace instead of leaving the matter to Princess Neoma, Your Majesty?"
