'Is he testing me. . .?'
I looked down with a tense feeling as I was trying to think of a solution to the question.
'Problems like corruption, thievery, and scandals are already hard to solve in my previous world but what about this Kingdom that is full of peace?
I stayed quiet as I gestured my hand to my chin and continued to think.
'. . . Perhaps. . . No, that wouldn't work. I have to think carefully.'
But at the time when I thought I found the answer, I was quickly interrupted by the Archduke's sigh.
I looked up and saw him staring at me.
'. . . Is he done waiting?'
"I-"
Before I could utter a word, he beat me to it.
"Your Highness."
I stopped at my track when he started to speak and stayed quiet as I decided to look at him with an attentive expression.
"I will help you. But in the meantime, please think about it. I will wait for Your Highness's answer."
He exclaimed before he returned his playful smile and gesture a reassuring sight.
