His Contractual Mistress - Chapter 476 Her Knights

Chapter 476 Her Knights　　Hailee remained silent for a moment. It was just a while ago that she pondered and weighed things.

With her wealth and influence, there won’t be difficulties having her way for her knights to enter the Lamandi Palace. However, it will be a risky mission as it needs to keep it a secret from Shun. And so, getting out alive is a slim chance without his permission and assistance as she could not send all her Crusader Knights not to get attention.

That’s right. Her knights were divided into different groups. Although they were all equal to her, they had important roles.

Her Crusader Knights are like Bruce Ledesma from P Country and the Franklin Twins of V Country. Most of them live a low profile in society. They could stand as her bodyguards or take missions and work in the shadows.

As for her Executive Knights, they are the ones who are working closely with her in one place and under the Davies Group.

It doesn’t matter if they are the Crusader Knights like James White or Chester Liang or her Marquis Knight like Geoffrey because of his family status. Pitt has noble blood in him as his family is distant relatives of the royal family during Joseon Dynasty.

The Marquis Knights are CEOs of a company or heirs from affluent families.

The knights that belong to that group are Hansen Park of Korea, Maynard Chan of S Country, Brett Morris in the US, Mikael Davidson of G Country, and Keith Cole of P Country.

Recently, Rob Dawson of T Country officially became her knight, and he fell to the group of the Marquises. In the meantime, she’s still contemplating whether John is fit to become her Marquis knight.

She only mentions a few of them, but her Marquis Knights are scattered around the world. Their influences help expand her own territories outside the Alliance.

And last is her Royal Knights. Obviously, they were those from the royal bloodline.

Yes, her cousins, George Robertson of British Monarch, Alexander Martini of Fen Kingdom. The other Royal Knights were Mitchell Romanoff of Russia.

With these men, she could do anything. However, there will be one person who will always block her way: Shun.

Hailee mused that if Shun didn’t exist, or he was not her beloved cousin, she wouldn’t mind doing…

“Empress?”

Hailee was pulled out from her train of thoughts. She turned her head toward James and looked at him with perplexity.

“I’m sorry. Come again?”

“We are telling you we can’t just openly do our way in V Country. Remember that Liam is no longer your knight,” said James.

Upon bringing up Liam, Hailee felt a pang in her heart. He is her first knight. She actually had the idea of calling her friends knights because of him.

During their first meeting, Liam told her he would be her knight and swore to protect her with his life. But suddenly, things change. What happened to Liam had a massive impact on her until now.

“James is correct, Hail.” Andre echoed. He knew better how territories must mind their own business. “We can’t get involved in someone’s affair inside their territory. It will look like we are declaring war against the V Country Monarchy.”

Besides, V Country is a particular case, and Shun just waits patiently before he does the beating to these Mafia members from that nation.

“Could it be wrong to wish for a fulfilling life with Vincent?”

To make that happen, she needs to remove all that prevents them from having a peaceful life. And the solution to their problems is to disappear the people that caused them all these troubles.

People envied her and wished to have the life that she had. What they didn’t know was her life wasn’t perfect. So anything that came to her mind at the moment was out of her desire to live happily with Vincent and their children.

Both Andre and James were speechless. They found her remark hard to counter.

“Empress, we understand you are worried about King Lamandi. Suppose we raid Lamandi Palace out of the blue. It will be assumed as an international threat. Worse is, we will accuse as an act of terrorism like what Liam did in Metro City and Las Vegas.” James reminded her, “We must not forget the law Shun implemented in the Association.”

“But they are crossing the line as well! They feel so confident walking freely in Australia!”

“That’s right, Hail. To not violate the order of the association, they cleverly planned out everything by crawling their way into the shadows. That man used Liam to strengthen his allies in many parts of the world.”

“Okay, I understand.” She wanted to insist further, but she must calm down. Anyway, Andre and James were right. She must avoid rushing things that would risk her health and children. “We have enough people around Samuel Miller, right? In no time, we know that man’s identity.”

“Yes, Hail. We have our best men doing their best to catch a glimpse of this man’s face.”

“Alright.” Hailee ended the subject. Not long after she dropped the discussion, her executive knights arrived.

“Empress!” They greeted her, then took the empty sofas across her and chatted merrily.

Watching her in silence, both Andre and James felt uncomfortable. The stubborn woman they did their best to enlighten is now acting like the same spoiled, innocent princess they used to know. She now behaves differently from the girl they just argued with a while back.

Hailee is beaming while listening to her executive knights sharing funny stories with her. Undeniably, she misses their company; however, many of them will have their own lives soon, and she is happy that a few of them have already found a girlfriend.

“Hey, folks!” Doctor Hector Payne.

Hailee grinned at seeing the bully doctor. She heard from her obstetrician, Doctor Dave, that his daughter Serena is now dating Hector. Serena is the physician who cared for her when she almost had a miscarriage, but she doesn’t want to see any men like doctor Dave. Now, Serena is practicing her profession in Dream City Hospital.

“Hi, princess… I mean, Empress.” Greeted Geoffrey, who was walking behind Hector. He nodded at Andre and James as he approached them.

“Hey, Geoff! Thank you for helping Vera finish planning the Davies Cosmetic branch here in Dream City.”

“My pleasure, Empress.”

Hailee smiles gratefully. Looking at her knights, she was blissful to have them.

These men did not just become her knights because she grew up with them or got close to her, but a primary reason for everything.

They were the descendants of her forefathers, loyal servants, and workers who helped mine and began any kinds of industries in Australia.

She specifically chose her other knights from the other part of the world for the same reason. In the passing years that she traveled, Hailee is actually tracking down her forefathers’ servants and workers’ offspring who went back to their motherland or found a new land to make a little fortune.

After finding them, she would not just share her fortune and power. But together, they will make another history, contributing to what their forefathers had created.

Dream City is not just her capricious ambition to achieve something but a fulfillment of promises.

She wanted to write a new history with the same blood of great men who contributed significantly to this land ever since a long time ago.

That is why their slogan is “Let’s Make History”.
