Chapter 1599 So Near, Yet So Far

Becoming king is fine, not becoming king is also fine. It was this kind ofattitude. But the most important thing was living a carefree life.

After Claire entered the guest palace, the architect told her, "MissRussell, Ivan is upstairs.”

"Okay, thank you." She went straight upstairs and it took five minutes toreplace Ivan since there were so many rooms on this floor.

Upon entering, she did not greet him right away, but looked around firstas if observing something.

“There are no cameras here. We've checked,” Ivan told her. "What'sthe situation on your end? Have you found out everything?"

Claire quickly took out a note from her pocket and handed it to him, "Hesaid this is for Xiaomi sister.”

"Okay." Ivan accepted it and put it in his pocket without asking anythingmore or opening it.

Neither of them were the least bit curious about the contents of thenote.

Then Claire told him about Rowan's situation, "The king has beenpoisoned with chronic poison for five years. Obviously the perpetrator isclose by, and it's the person closest to the king."

Ivan was shocked. Poisoning the king?

“Ivan, can you..." Claire suddenly became a little flustered and lost herprevious composure.

"Call me brother in Lu Layuoka. You have to get used to this identity,"lvan's gaze moved away from her as he sat down on the sofa andpicked up his teacup, still thinking about the king being poisoned.

This was related to a coup and the fate of a country.

Claire was filled with emotion. She pursed her lips, "Brother, are youwilling to help him?"

“I am helping,” Ivan looked up. "We've all brought people in. If a kingcan be killed, how can the country remain stable? Even for the sake ofthe people, the perpetrator must be caught.”

His righteousness moved Claire deeply.

"He hopes I can stay by the king's side. The specifics are still unclear,we'll take it step by step,” Claire told him. "He may be suspectinganyone around the king."

"Mm-hmm."

"Also," Claire went on, "he only bought those plants and flowers tocover up the herbal medicine he bought back. He's trying to replace a wayto detox the king."

Ivan listened to her attentively while analyzing at the same time,"Claire, no matter what, it's best to keep your relationship hidden fornow, otherwise you'll become his weakness."

"Okay, I know."

Realizing the severity of the situation, Ivan told her solemnly, “This is awar without gunpowder. No one can let their guard down."

"Okay." Claire also realized, "Don't worry, I absolutely won't cause himany trouble."

Thinking of trouble, she thought of something else and spoke again,"Oh right, there's one more thing... I want to tell you."

"Go ahead." Ivan looked up at her.

Claire recalled the young man she had just met and told him, "When Iwas coming to replace you earlier, I ran into Queen Katharine and a youngman. The way that man looked at me was a bit strange. I've seen himat a cafe outside before.”

"Young man?" Ivan didn't know who it was, he could only guess, couldit be Katharine's son?

"The way he looked at me was weird. Last time at the cafe we bumpedinto each other hard and I said sorry to him. He should have a deepimpression of me. So... I didn't come here with you, he should knowthat.”

Ivan nodded, now understanding the situation, "I see. Go get ready,there's a banquet tonight that the king will also attend. Someone hasprepared an evening gown for you, go try one you like."

"Okay."

Since Claire came with Ivan, her residence was also arranged on thisside.

It was only about 200 meters from Rowan's palace. Standing at thewindow overlooking, she could see those newly relocated plants andflowers in the yard. So close, yet seemingly as far away as separatedby mountains and seas.
