The moment those words left Nolan's mouth, Lucian scrambled to his feet, clutching the accounting ledger to his chest, and ran off to "handle things."

But while he left, a dozen trembling officials remained kneeling outside, not daring to move an inch.

"Why are they still here?" Eliza asked, raising an eyebrow.

Nolan replied casually, "Too noisy. I told them to kneel there until I've finished my business. Then I'll deal with them."

His tone wasn't loud, but just loud enough to drift to the doorway-where the trembling officials heard every single word.

Several of them shivered even harder, cold sweat soaking their collars. If they'd known offending Nolan meant kneeling for hours with death hanging over their heads, they'd never have let Lucian drag them into this.

"Quick-go get Mr. Jenson Pearson! If he doesn't come plead for us, we're all dead!" someone whispered in a panic.

Soon enough, Jenson did arrive-but not for them.

"Your Grace. Your Highness," Jenson greeted with a glowing smile, walking right past the shivering men at the door without a glance and stopping before Eliza to bow.

Eliza smiled lightly. "No need for formalities. Please, rise."

Nolan said nothing, so Eliza gestured invitingly. "Come, have a seat. You wouldn't happen to be here to plead for anyone, would you?"

She said it half-jokingly.

Jenson quickly waved his hands. “No, no-nothing gratitude.”
