Chapter 46

**Acacia Point of View**

Tall, magnificent and an utterly beautiful palace stood before me.

I was so proud of my first ever complete architectural establishment that if my hands were free, I would've patted my back until next day.

A blissful fusion of ancient and modern elements!

I nearly couldn't hold back my tears when I looked at how my model turned out to be. This is something I've always wished for. I've been learning and practicing like a crazy to pass out from the university with flying colors and establish my own firm.

Building things has always been my passion; a passion that could give my life for. I've assisted my guiding professor and the dean of my department in few of their projects. Only assisted them but never did I get an opportunity to put my ideas on paper later into actions.

Now that my own design, my ideas and my hard work is standing right before me with such splendor, I'm pleasantly speechless.

If only this was the world I came from, this success would be considered a huge break for my career.

Treasure Palace...

A palace where I earn and swim in riches, all the while piling up influence stone by stone.

With a small smile, I nodded to the parade of servants standing in an organized manner with their heads slightly tipped low in an absolutely respectful posture.

"Milady, I'm Leto, the head housekeeper of the palace appointed by His Majesty himself. I'm now under your command to serve and take care of you and young prince." Leto, a woman in late sixties, introduced herself in a composed manner.

One look at her and I can tell Leto is not really a simple character. I don't get an evil vibe from her but yes, she has this mysterious air around her.

I nodded smilingly as she continued to introduce other servants and the butler, whose name is the plural version of the head housekeeper's name; Letos. Apparently, Letos and Leto is a married couple with five sons, all working under the jerk in different ministries.

Contrary to the mysterious air Leto gave off, her husband Letos was a very sunny type man who keeps talking a lot and cracking old-ish jokes which are not funny at all. But the manner he cracks a joke and laughs about it alone was entertaining and lively though.

"You might already know who me. I'm Acacia Dawn Winters and this is my son, Igses. I shall be taking up the position of the Lord of Oudad province from here forth and appreciate your help along the way." Once all the staff was introduced, I gave them my introduction in a humble manner to create an amiable atmosphere.

"We once again welcome Lady Acacia to treasure palace. I shall show you to the master bedchamber and soon dinner will be served." Leto led me to the master bedchamber, which according to my plan, should be on the fifth story.

The palace is summed up to six stories. Since this is for my own living, I changed a few details of the blueprint in the last minute. So, all the rooms in all the wings of the first story is turned in to office. All the rooms are converted into offices as I intend to earn a lot of wealth for which I need my own business firm.

I need to request Eelk to place one of his strong mazes on the first floor so no one from the first floor can go to second story and above.

The second floor is full of banquet halls and ball rooms along with large meeting rooms, these rooms can stuff hundreds of people inside and can still be considered to have a lot of free space.

The third story is equipped with guest rooms. In the beginning, I thought forty seven rooms turned into guest rooms should be a little waste but later on I realized I would be needing them when I conduct my business and politics in my territory.

The fourth story and one of the main important floor has only one grand hall which is turned into library. I previously asked for the English translation of all the books available in this kingdom and Jerk has promised to do so. On that consideration, a complete floor converted into one library is nothing big.

The fifth story has four rooms only. One is my bedroom; the second is Igses bedroom, third will be my workshop and the study room and fourth is a playroom for Igses.

The sixth and the main important floor has several room but all are locked and only I have the keys to them. The whole sixth floor is used as storage and safekeeping of important documents, other important stuff and mainly my wealth.

In short, I have my own bank over my head. Although I don't have much money on my hand right now, in future I plan to fill my personal bank with suffocating amount of riches.

Also, there are two underground floors which I specifically asked for. Although I don't have a concrete plan to use them now, but who knows when and in what way I might find reason to use them.

It's always better to be prepared. And that is the reasons there are several secret exit tunnels covered up in this palace which only I and unfortunately the Jerk knows.

"The kitchen and the dining hall is in the back wing of the palace, Milady. Would you like to have the dinner here or in the dining hall?" Leto asked once we reached my bedchamber.

We stood by the door and did not enter yet but there are two maidservants standing by the door and waiting for my orders.

"Bring the dinner to my room for tonight. I shall take a bath first before eating so prepare a hot bath for me and Igses. Circe knows what you need to prepare for the bath so you can ask her."

Seeing Leto give me a nod of understanding, I turned around and slowly stepped inside my bedroom. The room was huge and the interior décor was just like how I wanted.

The room and the stuff inside are all in the combination of two colors, Violet and gold. It was not blindingly done, the combination and the shades were applied mild and skillfully that it gave off a very peaceful feeling to eyes.

"Look, little man, is the room pretty?" I asked Igses when I noticed he is awake now.

Igses looked around the room with his curious eyes and hummed in breaks as usual. He hummed and babbled loudly with a smile means he likes it.

"Tomorrow, Mamma will show you your bedroom and your playroom, alright? Now let's take a bath, hmm, your little body stinks from all the nonstop traveling." As if he understood my words perfectly, his smile turned into a big pout.

Seriously, that one pouty look caused me into bouts of laughter. This kid really knows his stuff!

"Ah, alright, Mamma stinks the same as you. You happy now?" I narrowed my eyes at him but still with a grin. His pout changed into a smile then into a cackle as he waved his hands and legs in air quite enthusiastically.

While I was having a small family time conversation with my son, the servants prepared the bath in less then ten minutes. I don't know how they arranged hot water in just ten minutes but knowing these people are supernatural chickens, I guess they pulled some magic strings.

Circe walked into the bathroom behind me with a small bathtub in her hands. It was a bathtub I made for Igses a few days ago. With the help of Circe, I bathed Igses first and once he was taken out by Circe, I took a long hot bath.

Leto, along with few maids, personally brought dinner to my room. By the time dinner arrived, Igses was dressed and was playing by himself on my bed beside me. He was humming something looking at me as if he was having a normal day to day chat with me.

On seeing my son humming loudly and playing, Leto's indifferent face cracked with a small smile. If I did not see it, I would've missed such a wondrous thing.

Indeed! A mother is a mother; no matter who kid it was.

"Mrs. Leto, what is the status with the books in library downstairs?" I asked Leto to take a seat on the couch while I have my dinner and also have a small chat with her.

She stood straight and did not move to sit. "I'm not a stuck up, spoilt person so don't worry and take a seat. I'm telling you to sit then what is there to hesitate about?" And she sat on the small spare couch in the room while I sat on the huge one.

"As per Sir Gyles words, three tenth of the books are now translated and arranged in the library, Milady. The remaining books shall come in slowly." I nodded.

"Also, Milady, we received a message from Sir Gyles that Sir Azar will be here by the noon tomorrow and shall be at your beck and call." Leto continued and what she said startled me a little.

Sir Azar? Azar?

Isn't this the name I'm too familiar with?

Right, what happened to the hawk after the day these people appeared?

Is this the same -

Nah, didn't she say it was Sir Azar? Who addresses a bird with a 'Sir' tag?

It can't be the same - right?
