"...but I know you won't be comfortable with this, so let's just do one thing"
Christopher kissed Wellesley's forehead and moved away from her before saying
"For now I will manage with this but you take care of yourself and remember that I can't wait long."
For a moment Wellesley did not understand what had just happened? and when she realized that Christopher was falling for her, a small smile graced her face, she was so embarrassed to stay in the place that she didn't even respond to Christopher's words and directly teleported to her room.
Christopher had heard about magic in his world, It was nothing more than a few stories. But today when he saw magic happening in front of his eyes for the first time, he was stunned.
The voice also saw Christopher's reaction and said "now you are going to live in this world. So every time you see the magic, don't just sit there with your mouth open like some dumb kid and get used to it. Let's go now, we have to get ready and meet the Nobles.
"Why do you call me 'hey' every time. I have a name Christopher. You can call me Chris?"
"If you are Christopher then who am I, I am also Christopher?"
"Well yes, okay, I agree, you are Christopher too, but I am not going to give you my name."
"Okay, let's do one thing. You call me Chris and I'll call you Ruby that was your real name right?" Voice said trying to gain upper hand in their banter
"No, If you start calling me Ruby and someone else calls me Christopher while I'm out there and I don't respond, then it might mess things up. So let's do it like this You call me Chris and I'll call you Prince fair right?"Christopher said, not wanting to back down.
The two of them ended their small fight and Christopher got ready and left his room to meet the nobles
Christopher entered a large room. He saw all the people standing around him in the room, be it Nobles, Ministers or administrators, anyone, from everyone to soldiers.
Seeing Christopher, everyone smiled. That smile reflected their greed. Some people saw him as an option, A way to climb the ladder and only Wellesley's smile was genuine.
Christopher started his talk. He managed to make sure that no one doubts him and also reassures everyone that he was fine.
After hearing that everyone clapped. Some people praised him for practically no reason while some others started filling his ears against the people.. It was their good fortune that no one took Wellesley's name. Otherwise, Christopher would have really killed them!
Christopher just smiled at all the things they said, he quietly he signalled Wellesley to go to his room, and he himself left for his room.
By the time he could get to his room, Wellesley was already there. Seeing her, Christopher just sighed and as soon as he went inside he hugged her, Wellesley also did not ask any questions like last night and hugged him back.
She knew that Christopher's health had not fully recovered yet. So she did not want to bother him by asking him more questions.
When both of them were lost in each other then Christopher said, "Wellesley, I wanted to ask you something. The inspection team that was going to go to the eastern part and do some investigation there. When are they going to leave from here?"
Wellesley gave a straightforward answer to Christopher's question and said "probably by next month"
"Next month... huh"
After saying this, Christopher was just thinking in his mind that If he doesn't come leave right now there might be shortage of time because according to Novel, the protagonist timetravel coincides with the arrival of inspiration team in the eastern part of the empire.
Thinking about this, Christopher said, "I am leaving the Palace and going to the Eastern Region Wellesley"
Hearing this from Christopher, she first distanced herself from him and then looking at him said, "Your highness Why are you going there now? What is the need for you to go there? You know that your health is just improving. If you will go there now.... no, no, you cannot go. If you want some work done, tell me and I will go there or I will send someone else. He will do the work and come back. If he is not able to do his work, I will bury him alive. You know that you are everything to me. What if something happens to you?"
Wellesley was not ready to listen to Christopher. So Christopher first shut Wellesley's mouth with his hands and made her sit on a nearby table and said, "I won't leave it to anyone else at Wellesley. I'll have to go there myself."
She wanted to ask, she wanted to shout at Christopher, but she kept quiet and choose to listen because she saw a fire in Christopher's eyes.
Christopher looked straight into her eyes and said, "You also know that my health did not deteriorate suddenly. Someone did it knowingly. Whoever has done this is in that place. That is why it is necessary for me to go there. Whoever has tried to take my life, I will not let him be handed over to others.
I will not get peace until I kill him with my own hands. you won't do anything else, whatever needs to be done I will do it.. only I?"
