Chapter 101
Eric raised his third finger.
This was something he had been thinking about for a very long time, not an emotional decision… No, what if it was an emotional decision? If it was a decision with his own personal feelings, it didn’t matter. After all, his priority was to press down on the royal b*stards’ high nose.
He lifted his chin.
“I…”
He continued, lowering his raised hand.
“I don’t want to do business with the royal family anymore. This means that all products from my factory will no longer be supplied to the royal family.”
My God!
Everyone in the hall was shocked and covered their mouths with both hands. It felt as if the hall went shaking in an instant.
His words were truly shocking.
His words could truly cause a tectonic change from the perspective of the whole kingdom. Currently, most of the Kingdom’s income came from partnerships with Eric’s factories.
With the factory supplied to the royal family at a low price, the royal family exported it at a more profitable price while he got a commission in the process. Since the triangular composition was solid, Eric delivered the goods to the royal family without saying anything.
The royal family, of course, also depended on his factory.
Needless to say, their relationship seemed unbreakable… but to suddenly be notified of the transaction’s suspension!
Haras could feel his mind go blank. He didn’t expect him to come this far.
He didn’t think Eric would suspend the transaction, just because he was offended. In addition, in front of so many people… for him to dare to say that to the royal family! In their relationship, Eric didn’t lose a thing so that was why he didn’t understand why he was the one who broke their relationship even more.
Enraged and in his anger, Haras reacted with an unstoppable emotional reaction and raised his voice.
“What the hell does that mean?!”
He shouted with a red face.
“No matter how offended you are, can you deal with things like this? Marquis, you may not see it like that, but you’re being very emotional!”
People weren’t sure who was the emotional one when Haras was the one raising his voice like this. Still, Haras was judging himself to be the very rational one at the moment, while Eric was making an emotional decision.
In other words, he thought Eric had spewed an emotional decision that could be reversed, so he spoke without changing his condescending attitude.
“Let’s talk about it later. I’ll pretend nothing happened today.”
“You don’t have to.”
Eric expressed his refusal with a calm tone, as soon as he finished speaking.
“Marquis!”
Although Haras shouted, Eric didn’t care at all as he went on.
“It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.”
He spoke nonchalantly.
“Didn’t I tell you before? I think I need to start raising transaction fees. But the royal family did not allow it.”
Eric remembered a conversation he had with Haras a few months ago.
Even though he said he would definitely raise the fee, Haras ignored his proposal, saying that he wanted to continue to stick to low fees.
On top of that, he went on to give a marriage proposal that completely ignored his will.
The situation made Eric decide that he no longer needed to keep his faith in the country, and that judgment made him act quickly. He was already on the verge of signing a new contract with the principality and had concluded a land contract to build a factory site there.
“So, isn’t it time for me to step aside?”
Eric grinned and looked at Haras from top to bottom before he took out a pocket watch from his pocket and checked the time.
“It is time for the King to come.”
The blood drained from Haras’ face.
“I wonder what the King will feel when he hears of this matter.”
Even if they said he couldn’t appear at public events because of the illness, the King was still a king.
If the King found out about this…!
It was clear that Haras would be greatly reprimanded. No, would it just end in a reprimand? The position of the next King may also be at stake. It was a mistake that greatly reduced the profits the royal family could bring.
Haras gulped dryly.
“Marquis.”
He clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth.
“You will regret today.”
“I’m not sure about that.”
Regardless, Eric was really calm.
With a calm face, he winked before persisting, “All that remains for me is to live happily with my wife for the rest of my life.”
He finished his words as he looped his arms around Chloe, who was standing there blankly.
“I don’t think I will have any time for regret.”
She finally came to her senses and looked at Eric. She didn’t know that he would come this far. She didn’t expect him to ever create a hostile relationship with the royal family, so it took her by surprise and she entrusted herself to Eric weakly.
“So, I’m going on.”
Eric said after a moment of silence.
“May the royal family be filled with peace.”
This was synonymous with never wishing for their peace. Haras was indignant again, William was stunned, and Elizabeth staggered.
But Eric ignored them, or rather walked out of the hall together with Chloe with a smile on his lips.
“My God, Eric!”
Chloe shouted as soon as she got into the carriage.
“I didn’t know you would say that. What were you thinking when you said that?”
She poured out words nonstop. For Chloe, who was born and raised as a noble, acting like Eric towards the royal family was unimaginable. Even though she only watched from the sidelines, her heart was still shaking.
But Eric, who was sitting across from Chloe, only smiled softly and leisurely crossed his legs.
“Chloe, calm down. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I thought of cutting them off because they kept trying to get between you and me.”
“For a while, since when?”
“Around the time you came to the capital.”
“At that time…….”
Chloe’s words end in a haze.
When Chloe came to the capital, at that time the relationship between Eric and Chloe was not very good. In other words, it wasn’t the time when Eric realized his heart, had regrets, or was devoted to Chloe.
But to have been thinking about it ever since.
She thought she could finally understand what Eric meant by ‘belatedly realizing his feelings’. From then on, or maybe even before that, Eric had been in love with Chloe the whole time. That’s why he must have been clenching his teeth to get revenge on the royal family since the they have kept pushing for his divorce with Chloe.
Thinking this far, Chloe could feel her heart melt even more, because she felt that Eric loved her much more than she ever thought, and that his heart was much bigger than Chloe ever guessed.
She chuckled.
“Thank you.”
For Eric, the words that came out of Chloe’s pretty mouth were very meaningful. How long has it been since he had heard it! He became proud of himself and embarrassed at the same time. Because he didn’t do anything good enough to hear these words.
“There’s nothing to thank me for.”
Eric shook his head.
“Again, I am sorry. These royal bastards made you hear things you shouldn’t have to hear.”
“What do you have to be sorry about? It’s those people who are bad.”
Chloe objected.
Instead of answering, Eric stared at Chloe. He feels the sincerity, the truth, and the depth of her heart in her face. At that moment, Eric could feel his heart relaxing.
“Then let’s pretend we both have nothing to be sorry for.”
He reached out to Chloe. He grabs her hand, which rests gently on her thigh.
“I’m just saying, let’s just think about the two of us.”
Chloe looked down at Eric’s hold on her hand.
Obviously, until she came here today, her heart was not like this. The Chloe from earlier was a little calmer.
But now it’s different. It’s like the first time she saw Eric, she fell in love with him. Her heart raced and it ached terribly. Her heart was beating so fast that it felt as if they were about to jump out of her body.
She tried to avoid Eric’s gaze and blushed.
“Alright. I’ll do that.”
Eric looked at Chloe with warm eyes.
He could feel very well what Chloe was thinking and what kind of heart she had. Maybe it was Chloe’s hot hand, and he realized that his hand was just as hot as his head.
It felt like he was back at the beginning. No, to be precise, it felt like he had come to a future where it ‘should have been like this.’
A future that would have come if he had let go of his unworthy pride and admitted to loving Chloe from the start.
Eric was overwhelmed, so he gripped Chloe’s hand tighter.
“Chloe.”
He asked carefully.
“Would you like to sleep with me tonight?”
