Chapter 1592: An Opportunity
During tea, Katherine talked about the castle park to be built - its size, purpose, and some of her own
ideas.
Ivan looked at the men around him and said, "They are all famous architects from my company, so feel
free to discuss any ideas in detail with them."
"That's wonderful," Katherine smiled the entire time. "I'll arrange proper accommodations for them.
They can start drafting and designing here. Of course I'll also prepare an independent room for you.
After all, the initial stage of everything takes a lot of coordination."
"Thank you," Ivan said while drinking his tea. "I'll come by often, but won't be here everyday. The
company headquarters are in Arkpool City after all, some important matters still require me to handle
them personally. I'll keep the royal castle build in mind."
"I understand," Katherine was finally relieved. As long as he didn't disappear, and there were
opportunities to interact with him, she was confident she could get close to him.
After about an hour, when everyone was well rested, Ivan suggested, "Your Majesty, shall we go take a
look at the site now? So the architects can get a feel for it."
"Sure."novelbin
And so the group set off again, following Katherine, Julie, and Katherine's guards towards the exterior
of the palace.
Along the way, they chatted about the project. But everyone noticed something strange.
A military truck was parked in front of a nearby palace. Over a dozen people were helping to move
potted plants from the flatbed.
Most were in full bloom, looking quite beautiful under the sunlight. Some were lush with foliage but not
flowering.
Everyone inevitably slowed their footsteps. Katherine was even more puzzled.
Just then, some servants holding potted plants passed by them. "Your Majesty," they greeted her and
headed towards the nearby palace.
Claire figured it must be some princess's palace.
"Hey!" Katherine directly stopped one of the passing servants. "What's going on? Why so many
flowers?"
"Queen Katherine, they are all Prince Louis's. He went to the flower market this morning and picked a
lot to bring back, saying he wanted to add a touch of spring to the palace."
Katherine slowly let go of her hand. Louis? A touch of spring?
The servant bowed to her again. "May I go now?" Seeing that the queen didn't stop her, she headed
off.
From Queen Katherine and Captain Julie's expressions, Claire could ascertain that this Prince Louis
was Rowan.
Ivan had the same guess.
But why did he get so many flowers and plants?
Rowan was definitely not the sort to leisurely appreciate flowers. And he treasured time, he wouldn't do
meaningless things. What message was he trying to convey with these?
Ivan was pondering it.
Just before the group started moving again, Ivan spoke calmly, "Claire, don't you like lily of the valley
too?"
Claire looked back at him and listened as he continued, "But you can never keep them alive. Why don't
you take this chance to ask Prince Louis for some tips on caring for them?"
Claire understood. The corners of her lips rose. "Okay." She nodded slightly to Katherine and Julie,
then headed straight for the nearby palace.
Julie's eyes darkened, about to give chase. But Katherine's gaze was on Ivan. She said, "Isn't she your
assistant? Can she be allowed to do other things during work hours?"
"She's my assistant, but also my sister," Ivan said gently with a smile. "My aunt's daughter. Still a
college student, just interning at the company."
