“Be careful then.
I’ll join you soon.”
She nodded.
He immediately left with the maid.
Immediately Kyson was out of sight, Lucinda approached Zakai and whispered urgently, “Where is Duke Myers? Please take me to him. I have something important to share.”
Zakai responded with utmost seriousness, “Miss Simmons, come with me.”
Meanwhile, Harold had been patiently waiting for her in a secluded lounge.
Once she was inside the room, Sonny casually loitered in the corridor, maintaining a watchful eye on her surroundings.
Zakai was driven out by his father so he found himself engaged in a conversation with Sonny to kill time as they waited.
Lucinda bowed respectfully to Harold and went straight to the pont.
“Sir, good evening. We don’t have much time, so I’ll be brief.”
Harold nodded, assuming a composed posture.
“I believe you invited me here because you have already delved into my background. Our deal will be quite straightforward. I will assist you in obtaining duty-free trade privileges from my brother, and in return, you will help me get what I desire. It’s a mutually beneficial exchange.”
Harold stroked his beard and gazed at her with his burning eyes.
“As you may have surmised, as the duke and the Princess Royal’s husband, I am not particularly enthralled by the prospect of duty-free trade privileges.”
Lucinda smiled, her voice laced with confidence.

“Your Highness, there’s no need to beat around the bush with me. You’ve endured a lifetime of suppression by your wife. If you acquire duty-free trade privileges, it signifies your financial independence and liberation from her control.”
She paused for a moment, and then added, “Or, if you still find this offer lacking in appeal, I can assist you in killing Lance Chapman!”
Harold narrowed his eyes, his confusion evident.
“He is going to be your husband, yet you’re the one proposing his death?”
What sort of woman would willingly become a widow on her wedding night?
She was indeed cruel.
Lucinda chose not to respond directly. Instead, she countered, “His existence is a great humiliation to you. You should be pleased if I help you to kill him, shouldn’t you?”
Harold erupted in boisterous laughter.
