His attendant needs a raise and some god damn therapy after this.
He’ll get his revenge in the future, trust
Novel:
Anton watched Richard—the former crown prince and now emperor—with a look of disdain.
Who first said that ‘the position makes the man’? Anton no longer believed in that saying.
For how many years had this procrastination habit persisted, with everything left to the last minute?
Even monkeys would learn better than this.
Novel:
After all, they had finally dealt with the mountain of paperwork that had piled up for over a month.
Anton, however, snorted instead of celebrated.
He had secretly hoped Richard would fail this time.
Novel:
There was a reason Richard had worked so hard today.
Today had originally been the spring picnic day she had planned long ago for the four of them.
The problem, however, was the presence of his cunning chief aide, Anton.
He had stayed silent until late the previous night, then approached the empress to report the emperor’s procrastination.
It was a calculated and perfectly timed move.
The enraged empress immediately locked the bedroom door and declared she and the kids would leave for the spring picnic without him.
Anton had been certain Richard would spend the next day working himself to exhaustion, only to end up in despair when he failed to finish in time.
Though Richard often likened Anton to a meddlesome bat, that wasn’t quite accurate.
Since the near-divorce incident during his time as crown prince, Anton had never truly been on Richard’s side.
He was entirely on Courtney’s side—or, rather, the empire’s.
