Chapter 428: : Back to the Capital



"Dame Csille, that is what I am talking about. Prince Joachim came here yesterday to visit you but because you are not here we told him he could return some other time. However, instead of leaving the Foundation, he ask one of his people to announce to the capital that he will be giving cash assistance to people who needs it the most. All they need to do is to go to our Foundation and he will be the one who gives the money to them."

I frown and look at the long line of people. If I will give an approximate number, it will be almost a hundred people here.

As far as I know, Prince Joachim is the forgotten Prince of the Yesian Kingdom. How comes he have money for this? Where did he get his money from? And why is he doing all of this? What does he wants to do?

I pull Lilla to the side. "Lilla, how long have he been doing this? Also, why didn't you stop him from doing this?"

Lilla shakes her head and look at me apologetically. "Dame Csille, we tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen to us. We don't know what to do with him that's why we let him do this. We all knew it will be a grave crime if we throw him out of the Foundation. So, I hope you can forgive us all, Dame Csille. We really did our best but we don't know how to handle him,"

I heaves a sigh. I thought I will be able to have a break from my problems with Prince Fraser and Leander. But I was wrong because a certain Prince Joachim decided to mess things up for

me.

Great! Why do I always end up having problems with all of them? Can they at least give me a day break? Just one day where I can relax and rest from all of this. Is that too much for me to ask?

I look at Lilla and smile reassuringly at her. I don't blame her at all. I know they don't have other choice but to let Prince Joachim do what he wants to do. Because they care about the Kingdom. They knew it will be disadvantageous for the whole Kingdom if we mistreat Prince Joachim.

"I am sorry for the touble, Lilla. Don't worry I will take it from here. You can already return to your work."

Lilla look at Prince Joachim for a few seconds before he looks back at me. "Dame Csille, don't you need some help? I can-"

I push Lilla towards the direction of her workplace. "I can handle him so you don't have to worry. You should just focus on things you should do."

She ask me one more time before she left me alone. I can still see the hesitation in her eyes but because I already told her to leave, she didn't have a choice but to follow me.

I look at Prince Joachim who is currently talking to an elderly couple. I frown when I noticed that the old lady is even wearing some jewelry on her. Yet this Prince is still planning to help them?

Why would they need help if the old lady looks like she can buy a lot of things with her jewelry.

I shake my head and walk towards them. Prince Joachim immediately look up at me and give me a warm smile. "Dame Csille, you are here. I heard from one of your employees that you were in the nearby region helping people. So, I decided to help you here. I hope you don't mind."

He hopes I don't mind? What he is doing is affecting the Foundation. How can I not mind?

I heaves a sigh and stares at the old lady who is wearing jewelry and to her husband who is wearing a watch that probably cost a thousands centimes.

I know Prince Joachim has disabilities but I didn't expect he would be fooled by these people. How can they need money if they have enough money to buy jewelry?

The two old couple got nervous when they see me staring at them. They look like anytime now, they will runaway already.

I give them a force smile before I look at Prince Joachim. "Your highness, I am grateful that you are helping the Foundation. However, there are process we are following before we give someone the help they need. If you continue doing this, I am afraid everyone will be mad at us if we don't help them because they are not qualified for help."

After the conversation I had with Prince Joachim, I decided to check my office in the Foundation. Lilla have mentioned to me earlier that I have few documents I need to see. So, I

decided to work on it today.

However, I only started reading the documents on my table when someone knocks on my

door.

How come there is someone knocking on my door? I thought everyone is busy assessing all

those people?

A moment after, the door opened and Leander looks at me apologetically. "Apologies, everyone is busy here that's why I came here alone. Are you busy, Dame Csille?"

Leander? How come he is in the capital already? I thought he will stay for another day in the

department?

I was even happy because I can finally have some break from him. But he even come to my

office?

What does this guy want from me? Don't tell me he came here just to ask me if he could court me again?

"Doctor Leander, may I know what brings you here?"

I didn't bother offering him a seat or some tea. I tried to be a nice person to him despite what he wants from me. However, this guy seems to misunderstand things here. So, I would rather be mean to him because I am sure no one would want to marry a lady with a bad

attitude.

I thought I would see displeasure in his eyes but I was wrong. He remain smiling at me. As if

I didn't disrespect him just now by not offering him a seat.

"I know you are busy so I wouldn't take much of your time. I came here because I want to apologize to you, Dame Csille."

I raised my eyebrow at him. "Apologize? Why would you need to apologize to me, Doctor

Leander?"

I heard him sigh. "I know I already told you that I will respect your decision and I still do. I wouldn't force you. I am apologizing because of what happened in the department. I know what Attorney Kirsa said had caused others to misunderstand us and I apologize for that. Don't worry, I will talk to them and explain that there is nothing going on between us."

He would really do that? And here I thought he is also a troublesome character for me. "Thank you, Doctor Leander." I decided to cut short the words I want to say to him. It is better this way because I am afraid he might misunderstand my kindness to him. "But Dame Csille, there are other things I want to talk to you too."

Things he wants to talk to me? Why do I have a feeling that I wouldn't like what he will say? I just hope that I am wrong. That whatever he will say is something not to be worried about.
