Chapter 22
“Let’s take a break.”
As soon as Cahir said these words, all of the administrators rushed to get out. The meeting lasted three hours. Rosaline also rose from her chair to leave.
“Rosaline.”
“Yes, Your Majesty, do you have any orders?”
She almost yelled at him to stop giving her work during breaks. However, as an experienced secretary, Rosaline smiled and adopted the attitude that said she could do anything.
“When the early morning festival is over, I’d like to give you a reward. Is there anything you want?”
‘What did he mean by “reward”?’
What did she just hear? Rosaline knew it was rude, but she didn’t speak. Instead, she rolled her eyes.
“Rosaline, answer me. Don’t you want a reward?”
Rosaline shook her head.
Cahir slowly stood. He descended slowly from the throne. “Rosaline.” He stood in front of her.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“What do you want?”
Could she say it? Was this the right time?
Cahir seemed to be in a good mood.
“Tell me Rosaline. I’ll grant whatever you want.”
It was like a dream.
Rosaline looked up at Cahir with ecstatic eyes. “Really?”
“Of course.”
Rosaline was encouraged by Cahir’s clear answer.
‘It’s time, It’s time!’
Instead of becoming the mother-in-law of <The Noose>, she would get the chance to go live her own life!
Rosaline inhaled deeply. “Your Majesty, I want to quit being a secretary.”
His smiling face turned cold. “No.”
“What? You said you’d grant me whatever I wanted!”
“Rosaline,” he practically purred, his voice dangerously low like a fierce predator.
“What?”
“There’s only one way you can quit being my secretary, Rosaline. By dying.”
Her dreams were torn to shreds.
There was no substitute for her. He would never be at full-strength without Rosaline.
And that’s why he felt so betrayed.
“I’ve been standing here for an hour, Your Majesty. Is there anything you need?” Derek asked, unable to stand it anymore. He was already forty minutes late for his rendezvous with Hui.
“Derek.” Cahir stared at him.
“Yes, Your Majesty, go ahead.”
“I told you to investigate Rosaline. The report is late.”
Derek scratched his forehead. Of course, the investigation had been completed. James had been tailing her for the past few days. He just didn’t report anything to Cahir because there was nothing to say.
Investigations were ordered because people were acting suspiciously against the empire. But Rosaline didn’t do anything like that. She had a fixed schedule with Cahir at the center of it. Derek wouldn’t find anything suspicious even if he gouged out his eyes, washed them, and put them back in.
“The investigation is already over. I didn’t report anything to you because there wasn’t anything particularly important.”

Cahir frowned, crossing his long legs and leaning forward.
He absolutely looked like a predator in this moment.
