Seven Days Later, Level 83

This mission would be easy to complete, and Emont was very confident.

He promised, "Your Majesty, within three days, I will report the progress to you."

"Mm, go." Senior Zhu waved his hand and smiled. "Work hard! If you do well, I'll reward you with one of these four consorts! You can choose for yourself."

The Makaton Kingdom had such a custom: those in power would give less important consorts to subordinates who had rendered great service or were especially close to them.

For a subordinate, this was naturally an unparalleled honor, representing the favor of their superior.

Edmund's heart filled with incredulous ecstasy!

Being willing to give him one of his four closest consorts represented His Majesty the Emperor's extreme regard for him!

He had to complete the mission well and live up to His Majesty's expectations.

Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor had said that "he could choose for himself."

Edmund's gaze could not help drifting toward Princess Emma, the prettiest and most shapely of the four consorts.

Princess Emma came from a prestigious family and was recognized as one of the country's foremost beauties. She could be said to be a strong contender for the future queen.

Was she among his options too?

Seeing Edmund's gaze turn toward her, Princess Emma's heart immediately sank.

She had entered the palace to become His Majesty the King's consort because she wanted to become queen in the future and reign as the mother of the realm, not become the wife of some shady intelligence chief!

Feeling the three increasingly mocking gazes behind her, she hurriedly looked toward His Majesty the King. "Your Majesty! I..."

She abruptly stopped halfway through.

Because at some point, His Majesty had already left his throne and vanished without a trace.
