Chapter 989: Intermission - Day in the life of *Rose* (1)
Going a few days back...
I knew that once this was all over, there was no way that I would be able to relax since there would be a lot of work to do.
Taking over three countries definitely wouldn't be an easy matter to settle, so it would take a long time and a lot of hard work to finish this task.
So before that, I wanted to have some fun with my wives.
Though the kind of fun that I wanted to have was a bit on the deviant side.
One morning, I suddenly pulled out a few of the vibrators and said, "I want to..."
...
"Miss Rose, here are the documents that you wanted." A fair blonde haired lady with a pair of glasses walked in with a stack of papers.
This was Rose's assistant in the capital, Belle.
She was the one that worked the most closely with Rose after she came to the capital, so it could be said that she was one of the people that knew her best.
After putting down the stack of papers, she couldn't help asking, "Miss Rose, is there something wrong?"
The moment that she came in, it was as if she could tell that there was something wrong with this Miss Rose that she served.
This Miss Rose was one of the wives of the king, but even before that, she was someone that had won Belle's respect. She had come into the department of interior affairs and had cleaned it up without missing a single thing.
There was a disappointed look on Belle's face when she heard this, but she still listened to Rose as she stood where she had been standing before.
The look of disappointment quickly disappeared as Belle said, "Miss Rose, if you're sick, you should just take the rest of the day off. There's no need for you to push yourself, there isn't much that you need to do today."
Though she said this, it was a lie.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Rose had taken care of half of the work that they had to do all on her own. If she really couldn't work today, it would mean that their department would fall far behind.
But it would all be meaningless if Rose collapsed, so it was better to be behind than to have something happen to her.
In a way, this could be considered a training experience for the new hires in the department. However, Rose just firmly shook her head and said, "No."
There was nothing that Belle could do if Rose refused to rest since she was her subordinate. So Belle completely changed her mind and planned on staying with Rose the entire day. Rose naturally could see the thoughts that passed through Belle's mind and that was the last thing that she wanted, so she said, "Alright, I'll cancel my meetings and just work on the documents in my office. You don't have to stay with me, I'll be fine since I'll be in the castle the entire time."
Belle still had a worried look on her face, but she just gave a simple nod in the end.
Belle knew that this was already a big compromise on Rose's part and she knew that it wouldn't be good to be greedy.
So she went forward to the stack of papers that she had placed on Rose's desk and said, "Miss Rose, these are the items for today, but you don't have to finish all of them if you're not
feeling well."
She had been planning on taking some of the papers that she had placed on the desk and distributing it to the others.
But Rose suddenly stood up and placed a hand on top of hers to stop her before saying, "I'm telling you that I'm fine. Just leave these things and go take care of your matters."
Belle still had a worried look, but seeing that Rose was this insistent...
Though before she could leave, Rose's legs suddenly gave out from under her.
