Council Meeting

"Ugh, that's probably my fastest record of getting paperwork done." Lei Zhen stretched his body as he managed to finish all the documents.

At first, he didn't plan to speedrun it, but the fact that Robert told him about a council meeting commencing in two hours.

It was like a time bomb was placed upon him and he must finish everything before that time limit.

Otherwise, Lei Zhen feared that something else might occur.

A few seconds later, Lei Zhen stood up and fixed his clothes. He glanced at the mirror to make sure his attire was properly arranged before leaving the office and making his way toward the council meeting.

No matter what, he was still a Chancellor, one of the highest ranks possible for a noble besides the duke, which is a rank for royalty.

'Damn, if Robert knew about the matters of me wanting to resign, then wouldn't that mean he also knew about the kiss? And if Robert knew it, then wouldn't Francis know about it as well?'
