Chapter 586: The Final Task
Make a decision?
Claire stopped when she heard what her father said and suddenly understood something. George didnt need to explain and just smiled and then clapped to call people in.
This time, the people who entered werent soldiers, but servants.
After the fiasco from earlier, the room was a mess, so it need to be cleaned. After all the loose debris were cleaned away, the room looked a lot better.
Then George ordered the servants to bring a table and chair and placed many delicious foods, snacks, teas, and alcohol on the table.
What was going on?
Lin Xiao scratched his head and exchanged a puzzled look with Elena, while Claire walked next to her father and they began whispering to each other.
Father, you
Hehe, Ill admit I was wrong, Lin Xiao is indeed worthy of you and I wont be worried handing you over to him.
George smile and admitted his mistake. Now he had no doubts of Lin Xiao, not only was he able to resist temptations, he also it reversed back and exposed his pretense.
Sigh, although I never expected he would past my test, but my decision wont easily change Claire, to be honest, I decided last night that if he passes my test, I would take him as a son-in-law!
Eh? Father, so you mean
Haha, youre right! So, I need a definite answer do you like him?
I do!
But you do know that you arent the only woman by his side, right?
I-I know
Even then do you still like him?
Un!
Why?
Hm, how should I put it although Im jealous of them, and want to chase them away, but I think if Lin Xiaos always good to them then when hes willing to accept me, he would always treat me well like that.
So you think hes a reliable man that wont break his word and betray you?
Thats exactly it!
Is that so okay then, I get it.
George didnt hesitate anymore after getting his daughters answer and prepared to carry out his decision! Perhaps this was the final thing he could do for his daughter, but he trusted his daughter and believed Lin Xiao wouldnt disappoint him!
Since he couldnt take care of his daughter anymore, then hell let Lin Xiao help him take care of her. George was ready to lay it on Lin Xiao, but when he turned to look, he saw something strange.
Lin Xiao? What are you doing?
Ah, Elena, stop fighting with me! You already ate so many sweet potato puddings, now that theres only one left, you should give it to me!
Hah? What kind of bullshit is that pervert? You clearly ate everything, and I havent even had one yet no, the last one is mine!
You gluttonous cat, how dare you take my food? Also, did you already forget what you promised me?
Hm sorry, I should call you master, master.
Thats right, so the last one is mine!
Eh? You liar, you took the chance to take my pudding! I-Ill kill you!
Lin Xiao ignored Georges call and was still immersed in fighting over food with Elena. George could only shake his head and his resolve wavered.
Lin Xiao!
Ah? Oh, your majesty do you need something?
Lin Xiao quickly gulped down the pudding, grabbed Elenas arm to prevent her from strangling him while smiling at George like nothing was wrong.
Cough I have something important to tell you.
What is it?
Firstly, I want to apologize about earlier, I didnt really want to kill you, I was just worried about my daughter being tricked Lin Xiao, would you forgive me?
Hehe, no worries, Ill forgive you if you bring some more pudding.
Pudding?
Yes, these puddings are delicious, but my maid hasnt had any yet, so bring some more over.
Tsk, what are you acting for, I didnt eat any because of you, now youre pitying me, how disgusting
Hm? Then are you eating the ones they bring?
Of course I am!
Then thats that Your majesty, as long as you bring some more delicious puddings, then itll be like nothing happened!
Thats nothing come, bring more snacks!
George was pleased with Lin Xiaos generosity and immediately called people to bring more food over. This time it wasnt just sweet potato pudding, there was also his favorite sweet pear pudding.
Lin Xiao, you passed my test and proven yourself. My daughter is also attached to you, so hehe.
George laughed and called someone to bring over his favorite sweet pear pudding and then took a spoonful before continuing. But strangely, right after eating it, he immediately felt searing pain in his lungs and he began holding his chest and coughing painfully.
D-dont worry Claire, I dont have long, but you still have Lin Xiao, cough he he can stay with you so cough, cough
Father, stop talking!
No, I have to finish! This is my final task that I have to complete!
George clenched his teeth and forcibly endured his cough while looking and Lin Xiao and wanting to announce something.
Lin Xiao, Ive decided to marry Claire to you! After you die, then assist her succeed as queen and help manage this country!
Thats what he wanted to say, but because he was coughing too much, he couldnt say it.
Lin Xiao naturally knew what George wanted to say, but he couldnt let him say it. Hes already made it clear that he didnt want to accept Claire, if George announces that hes going to marry Claire to him, what should he do?
If he refused, then thatll surely infuriate George, and it wasnt just George, his rejection would also hurt Claire. He hated seeing girls cry but he couldnt accept either.
He still had too many things to do, Elenas betrayal, the mysterious organization behind ShenDai Ying, the enlightened society that Snow was facing, he had no more energy to give her the happiness she wanted.
He would never be irresponsible, if he gave his promise, then he would keep it till the end, otherwise he wouldnt make it!
Thats why, he had no choice
Wait, King George! Before you say it, can you listen to me first?
Cough what is it cough.
King George, you said that it was your final task before dying Im confused, are you dying soon?
Lin Xiao! Its not like you dont know of my fathers coughing illness he only has one month left! When she heard his insensitive question, she bit her lips and soothe her father while rebuking him.
Hehe, is that so then what if I say I can cure your fathers coughing?
What? Lin Xiao, a-are you serious? Can you really cure my father!?
Im not sure, but I can try can you show me the coughing medicine that your father regularly uses?
Coughing medicine? Okay, Ill go get it!
