Capítulo 68: CHAPTER 68
Gabby is enjoying brewing tea accompanied by Scarla and Shushu. Tea has become a small dish for him. While waiting for information, he will not be separated from drinking tea.
"Miss, Duke Charlotte has come to meet you," said Lili approaching Gabby.
"Why did he come all the way to see me?" Gabby muttered. "Duke Charlotte with who?" Gabby asked.
"He is alone, Miss," replied Lili. "Okay, I'll see him" Lili left Gabby to call Duke Charlotte to meet Gabby. Lili entered the room not long after, followed by Duke Charlotte behind.

There was silence. I could hear only cups clinking between Gabby and David's silence. David was afraid, and he was afraid that Gabby would get farther away when he spoke. He glanced as Dayang Gabby took turns. He saw the different expressions of the three of them.
With her shady face, Lili smiled gently because she didn't know the Charlotte family conflict from the start. Scarla, with her beautiful face that looks flat, doesn't want to waste energy giving an attitude like people know each other. Shushu cutely glared at David.
David sighed lightly. He returned the document Gabby had given him some time ago. "Ella, Daddy..." he glanced at Gabby's three loyal ladies-in-waiting standing behind Gabby. "Your Majesty, I'm sorry I can't accept this." David pushed the scroll closer to Gabby.
Gabby frowned. "Why?" Gabby asked. Once again, David sighed.
"I can't accept this, Your Majesty. You don't need to worry either, and I will return the documents that the Redrick Family gave me."
"There's something I want to know," Gabby said. Somehow David felt glad Gabby dropped the formal tone on him.
"Ask Ella. Dad will answer," said David quickly. Suddenly there was a moment of silence. David fell silent, ashamed of himself, and he enthusiastically addressed Empress Queenby as Ella. He lowered his head at his stupidity. It was different with Gabby, who smiled faintly.
"I wonder what the Redricks gave to apply to Mia," said Gabby. David looked up at Gabby, and he had hoped that Gabby wouldn't ask that from the start.
If he answered it indirectly, it would be equivalent to assuming that he had sold his daughter. But the rice was porridge, Gabby already knew. If David kept hiding it, it would only make the distance between them grow even more if Gabby found out on her own.
"They gave away the Gold Mine in the mountains of the West of the Azruth Empire," said David. She was hearing that Gabby gasping. She was so shocked. How could the Gold Mine of the Imperial Western Mountains belong to that Prime Minister's family? "Fucking sly fox," Gabby muttered under her breath.
"Did father approve the ownership of the Gold Mine to belong to you?" Gabby said, looking serious.
Even though she looked serious, David felt joy in his heart because Gabby called him dad. David was sure Gabby called him unconscious because she looked so serious. It didn't matter to David. "Not yet. Father has not approved it because Ella and Mia came to visit yesterday," said David.
"Good, it's better if you don't agree to anything in the document, just don't if you don't want the Spinx Kingdom to be in chaos," said Gabby, making David confused.
David looked at Gabby, who looked very serious. He couldn't help but listen to Gabby this time. "Okay, Dad won't agree to anything in that document. But may I know, why can the Spinx Kingdom cause chaos if you approve the ownership of the gold mine?" David asked curiously.
"Didn't dad read the document?" Gabby asked. "Father read it, what's wrong?" David replied.
"Is the gold mine holding Viona Elisha de Azruth's name there?" Gabby asked.
"Yes, Father saw it. More than half of the Gold Mine is His. The rest are the Nobles, including Prime Minister Redrick," replied David.
"Do you know who Viona Elisha de Azruth is?" Gabby asked. "From his last name, he's an Imperial person," David guessed.
Gabby looks annoyed that her father looks so stupid and doesn't know anything. "She is the Empress Dowager of the Azruth Empire"
"What?" David was surprised to hear Gabby's words.
"But, what is the connection with the Spinx Kingdom?" Connect David.
"Since father is the Duke of the Spinx Kingdom, the Spinx Kingdom will indirectly become Prime Minister Redrick's scapegoat. This has something to do with Mia's attempted rape. It was likely that she would definitely borrow the power of the Imperial Empress Dowager. Says dad asked for a gold mine as a dowry and was tricked into giving an unholy girl," said Gabby.
David clenched his fists, and he finally understood what Gabby meant. Noble girls who were impure or had sexual relations with the opposite sex outside of marriage would be insulted for the rest of their lives. They will not be respected even if they are nobles. Sometimes the family of the unholy girl will exile them. With Mia's rape, they would say that Duke Charlotte deceived the Redricks into betrothing his impure daughter to the young master of the Redricks.
"Father understands now. So what should dad do?"
"Give me the document, the day after tomorrow, I will visit the Azruth Empire while greeting Prime Minister Redrick," Gabby said flatly. "Okay, later father will send an envoy here", replied David.
David took a sip of tea, and he glanced at Gabby, who was also sipping tea peacefully. "Ella, will you forgive Daddy?" There was a moment of silence. Gabby put her teacup on its base.
"Didn't I tell you there's no need to apologize? Father did nothing wrong with me."
"But Ella, used to be dad..."
"Forget it, I don't want to remember it at all," Gabby interrupted firmly. "Okay," David replied quietly.
"What about Evan?" Gabby asked. "Ah, he is already one of the higher-ups of the Kingdom. He's been very busy lately," replied David.
"Good. At least he's still useful for life." David fell silent hearing Gabby's strange words.
