"Lift your head. I was merely doing my duty as your superior. I should have ensured something like that didn't happen in the first place," Arabella smiled.
[It wasn't Her Majesty's fault but Narcissa's. Who would expect she was the one who would do something like that? Hopefully, none of that will happen again. My hard work seems to have finally paid off. I finally have a superior like this. I hope Her Majesty remains like this.]
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to be a capable assistant and be of help," Ivan bowed and thanked her again instead.
His former superiors were all envious of him and did not treat him well, so he was like this when he finally had a better superior.
Arabella couldn't say she wasn't envious of Ivan's abilities in the least bit.
Who wouldn't be?
He was simply too superb. Too Capable.
