Chapter 231: Beach?

Richard ended up denying Lena's request to come over even though he was still speaking with her father. It wasn't an issue of the fact that he didn't want to discuss the matter with her, but that he knew she had just gotten engaged only the day before. 

The princess also had a suspicion that her father had said something to him about the fact that she was taking days off in order to celebrate that. She didn't want this matter to cut into that time, but she also didn't want to put off dealing with it any longer than was necessary. 

Richard instead agreed that he would met her at a later point next week. Which he assured her wouldn't cause problems since he hadn't set a strict meeting date with the man who wanted to make a deal with him yet. He wanted to make sure he had enough time to talk with them about everything that was going on first.
