Chapitre 873: Easier said than done

"It's interesting to see the respectable heir of the Rothschild on my way here. From what I saw, it seemed you rattled him a little." London pranced inside Dexter's small office, helping himself to get a seat since Dexter wouldn't offer him one. "I don't know the details of Her Majesty's order, but if I remember correctly, Her Majesty wants you to coax him, not scare him."

Dexter was standing in front of the window, eyes on the distant driveway where he could see Miguel ride his steed. Some royal knights were assisting the Count as they brought his steed. 

"He is in denial. Coaxing him will not make him dance in her tune," answered Dexter, watching how Miguel gallop away from the palace. "What a silly man."

"You can't blame him." London shrugged, pouring himself tea. "The Rothschild were loyal supporters of the royal family. Many say the Rothschild wants to covet the power of the royal family — the king's power. However, I can attest they would never do that."
