Chapter 1592: An Opportunity
During tea, Katherine talked about the castle park to be built - its size, purpose, and sof her own ideas.
Ivan looked at the men around him and said, "They are all famous architects from my company, so feel free to discuss any ideas in
detail with them."
"That's wonderful," Katherine smiled the entire time. "I'll arrange proper accommodations for them. They can start drafting and
designing here. Of course I'll also prepare an independent room for you. After all, the initial stage of everything takes a lot of
coordination."
"Thank you," Ivan said while drinking his tea. "I'll cby often, but won't be here everyday. The company headquarters are in
Arkpool City after all, simportant matters still requireto handle them personally. I'll keep the royal castle build in mind."
"lI understand," Katherine was finally relieved. As long as he didn't disappear, and there were opportunities to interact with him,
she was confident she could get close to him.

After about an hour, when everyone was well rested, Ivan suggested, "Your Majesty, shall we go take a look at the site now? So the
architects can get a feel for it."
"Sure."
And so the group set off again, following Katherine, Julie, and Katherine's guards towards the exterior of the palace.
Along the way, they chatted about the project. But everyone noticed something strange.
A military truck was parked in front of a nearby palace. Over a dozen people were helping to move potted plants from the flatbed.
Most were in full bloom, looking quite beautiful under the sunlight. Swere lush with foliage but not flowering.
Everyone inevitably slowed their footsteps. Katherine was even more puzzled.
Just then, sservants holding potted plants passed by them. "Your Majesty," they greeted her and headed towards the nearby
palace.
Claire figured it must be sprincess's palace.
"Hey!" Katherine directly stopped one of the passing servants. "What's going on? Why so many flowers?"
"Queen Katherine, they are all Prince Louis's. He went to the flower market this morning and picked a lot to bring back, saying he
wanted to add a touch of spring to the palace."
Katherine slowly let go of her hand. Louis? A touch of spring?
The servant bowed to her again. "May | go now?" Seeing that the queen didn't stop her, she headed off.
From Queen Katherine and Captain Julie's expressions, Claire could ascertain that this Prince Louis was Rowan.
Ivan had the sguess.
But why did he get so many flowers and plants?

Rowan was definitely not the sort to leisurely appreciate flowers. And he treasured time, he wouldn't do meaningless things. What
message was he trying to convey with these?
Ivan was pondering it.
Just before the group started moving again, Ivan spoke calmly, "Claire, don't you like lily of the valley too?"
Claire looked back at him and listened as he continued, "But you can never keep them alive. Why don't you take this chance to ask
Prince Louis for stips on caring for them?"
Claire understood. The corners of her lips rose. "Okay." She nodded slightly to Katherine and Julie, then headed straight for the
nearby palace.
Julie's eyes darkened, about to give chase. But Katherine's gaze was on Ivan. She said, "Isn't she your assistant? Can she be
allowed to do other things during work hours?"
"She's my assistant, but also my sister," Ivan said gently with a smile. "My aunt's daughter. Still a college student, just interning at
the company.”
