Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 134
“Samantha!”
Jacqueline finally raised her voice. Glaring at Samantha with a reproachful look, Jacqueline began eating up all the cookies on the plate.
“Oh no, don’t! That was the very last one… I’m sorry, Jackie!”
Samantha fidgeted anxiously as she apologized. Jacqueline clapped her palms together and looked at her with a smug expression—though her puffed-up cheeks completely undermined any sense of dignity.
“You’re terrible.”
Samantha pouted and made a sulky face. Then Jacqueline choked and started coughing. Samantha poured tea for her with an irritated expression.
“Exactly—who told you to be so greedy?”
Jacqueline ignored her scolding, bringing the teacup to her lips anyway. After taking a sip to moisten her throat, she finally felt a bit more alive.

Windsor swept his eyes across the faces gathered around the banquet table: the King, the Crown Prince, the Duke of Butler, the Duke of Lindberg, the Marquess of Phelps, the Earl of Carpenter, the Earl of Sherman, the Viscount Foster, as well as Count Greenwood and the Earl of Knox.
It wasn’t an entirely random assortment, yet neither was it one that immediately made sense. What bothered him was the presence of four earls and one viscount seated among the highest-ranking nobles—dukes and marquesses.
Of course, earls were high-ranking nobles in their own right, but even so, there were more than enough earls in the banquet hall who had not been invited to this dinner—easily more than could be counted on one hand.
So why were these five seated here? And more importantly, why was Viscount Foster included? Was he someone who enjoyed the King’s special trust?
Windsor frowned slightly as he reached this thought. Suddenly, a faint smile escaped through his lips.
Carpenter, Sherman, and Foster were families that had once been considered as potential matches for him, and the Earl of Knox was the very man with whom Windsor had recently engaged in a tense rivalry.

“Do you really think I’m saying these things because I’m drunk?”
Even we think so, Windsor. Far too many smiles were given and tender words were spoken in just a couple of minutes, pfft.
Perhaps she’d forgive the king sooner than expected—after all, it had allowed he
I’m with Jackie. Hated the king to the bone, but thankful for him because we get to see a new side of Windsor
He smiled.
Oh, haha, the king managed to get him drunk. I wonder how hot it will get from here.
