136 The Knot in Lina’s Hear (1/2)

”These are the building plans I have for the Lower District. I pray you will do a good job in completing the construction project without problems.” Elizabeth said, she sat inside the Great Hall and gesture to her maid, Lily, to hand over the building plans.

”Yes, your majesty. Just leave it to us.” Bromley accepted the task enthusiastically without checking the contents of the building plan the maid gave them.

”Mm, good. You may go.” Elizabeth bid them to leave, after the task was handed over.

”Err... your majesty...” Bromley said hesitantly. He found it hard to bring up this matter in the presence of the Queen.

”What else is there? Is there a problem?” Elizabeth said with creased brows, not understand Bromley's hesitation.

”I... Err... We...” Bromley found it harder and harder to speak when he saw the Queen's frown deepened.

”I wonder if we can talk about marriage between our children. What do you think of our daughter, your majesty?” In the end, Hazel said. Men aren't reliable, she thought.

The prince and their daughter may be seeing each other and even taken the last step, but they were not at ease.

In this day and age, it was the parents that decides the marriage of their children. They are decision makers and had the final say.

If the Queen doesn't approve of their relationship, it would be their daughter that suffers a loss since she is no longer pure.

”Oh, so it's this matter. I have met your daughter. She is good. Very pretty. Quite suited for my son.” Elizabeth nodded her head in approval as she said this. In fact, any girl would win her approval as long as they are pretty.

Bromley and Hazel heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. It seems their daughter left a good impression on the Queen.

”Then about the marriage engagement our children...” Bromley pressed. He found the courage to continue on the topic after he found the Queen had no problem discussing it.

”There's not much to say about it. I agree.” Elizabeth said.

”That's great! Thank you, your majesty.” The Cromwell pair bowed to Elizabeth.

An engagement already exists between the prince and their daughter, but that was their Old man Dwight taking matters into his own hands. The Queen had not agreed to it then., but now she did. Everything was finally set in stone.

”No need for thanks. We will become in-laws. However, if my son wants to gift me 5 daughters-in-law then that's how many I will accept.” Elizabeth said domineeringly, before advising, ”You should be worrying about how to face the Lancaster family instead.”

The more daughters-in-law she has, the more grandsons. The chances of their Crawford royal family line ending would be reduced to a bare minimum when there are many descendants.

But then they thought, this shouldn't be a problem, right?

The Duke wouldn't for them for trouble, right? They sweated at the thought. Wasn't the Duke's daughter unhappy with the marriage anyway? How close was the Duke's daughter and the prince?

No matter close it is, it can't be closer than their daughter. After all their daughter already did that with the prince. Bromley felt smug about that thought then he froze.

When he found out the prince was doing his daughter, he was so angry. How can he be happy about it now? Bromley felt conflicted.

Bromley soon bid farewell to the Queen and pulled his wife away quickly.

”What's the matter, my husband? What's the rush?” Hazel asked with bewilderment.

Bromley didn't directly answer her but drew circles on her back, sending chills up her body.

Hazel blushed with both anger and amusement, she pouted, ”Didn't we do all night? You already want to go again?”

Bromley was like an animal in heat that needed to vent, whenever he is frustrated.

”It can't be helped. You know... we only have a daughter all these years and daughters will eventually be married outside. Don't you want to give me an heir?” Bromley reasoned with some awkwardness.

”Then... should we go back?” Hazel said coquettishly. Bromley nodded rigorously and pulled his wife away.

...

”Wow, so this is what it looks like inside the palace.” Lynne exclaimed, as Leon took her around.

”Yeah, it's not bad.” Leon responded, before shaking his head and said, ”Come, I'll take you to meet someone. I hope you two would be able to get along.”

The palace was much better designed than any other structure in the kingdom, but it still falls short of what he had seen back in the Divine Realm.

Arriving at the Guest Courtyard, Leon quickly spotted Aria sitting in the open environment.
