Chapter 205 205 Christina’s Purpose
From the way she was shivering, Grace knew that she had been frightened past her wits and would not be able to calm down until later. Therefore, he kept on caressing her hair as he allowed her to cling to his existence in order find her safe harbor once more. At the same time, he turned all his attention to Nelson who was standing there silently as if waiting for Grace to finish up with his personal matters before discussing business.
Grace was able to deduce what was going to transpire next and he knew he couldn't get out of it now that he had sold his soul to the devil.

It had been a few days since Christina arrived in Byzantium city. Other than the day of her arrival, she hadn't interacted much with the other suitors that her husband had attracted. She knew that it was the women who had those kinds of intentions towards Zach and not the other way around. Therefore, she didn't hold it against him and supported him whole heartedly. Another reason was that she could not keep acting like a jealous wife forever unlike those petty girls. She didn't want to risk Zach hating her for it.
Based on her intelligence and level of cunning, it wasn't difficult for Christina to make things difficult for the other two girls. But she knew that it would only end up harming Zach and would earn her his ire. Moreover, she already knew that she wasn't Zach's only woman from the get go. Even their relationship had flowered from a business deal mean to secure the foundation of Elizabeth family. Therefore, she didn't have the right to demand anything from him.
She was unlike Clara or Diana who would do anything to cling to Zach. She didn't know why girls like them could do this but Christina couldn't bring herself to act in such a manner without Zach's approval. Otherwise she risked diminishing her worth in his eyes. She couldn't stoop to their level even if she tried to.
Therefore, she didn't flirt with Zach in public and tried her best to make herself useful to him when she was by his side. She took care of the business on the side of the Windsor family and also helped Zach with things he found too burdensome to deal with. She didn't complain about his lack of attention like the other two and just accompanied him silently so as to not cause him trouble when he was in the beginning phase of establishing his faction.
Even though she was hiding a well of feelings deep inside her for Zach, she acted all professional as if out of instinct. Her work ethics got in the way of her romance but was also the greatest driving force behind her charm. Any man would find such an accommodating woman comforting and would definitely rush back home into her arms the moment he got any free time.
Recently she had been taking care of sugar shipment to various cities and invested a lot of her time into charting out the vehicle routes and delivery schedules. For that purpose she divided the empire map into four quadrants based on the cardinal directions and planned routes for each of those quadrants. She made sure that a single vehicle could be used to satisfy a cluster of cities so as to avoid sending out excessive amount of vehicles. Her careful planning and meticulous strategies allowed her to distribute cane sugar several times the efficiency of a normal transportation company even if they had the same technological background. Elizabeth family wasn't the top business family of Elizabeth city for nothing. There methods were far too advanced and their business cunning far more elaborate compared to factions handling even more capital than them.
The reason she had been taking so much time out of her precious time with Zach to deal with this transportation mechanism despite the availability of competent workforce was that she didn't want anything to affect Zach's development in Byzantium city. Therefore she couldn't afford any mishap. As such she could only make it so that her diligent efforts wouldn't leave any room for an unexpected outcome.

Nelson was a perverted individual with a twisted sense of love and adoration. Whenever he had free time, he would use it to harass the person he was chasing in the name of adoration despite knowing that Violet only felt uncomfortable in his presence.
As usual, Nelson had come to the Windsor family to pay his routine harassment visit to Violet. It had long since become a habit for him to come over unannounced since the days Windsor family was weakened due to the old master's sickness.
Just as he was about to head into the state, he found a group of people wearing similar clothes loading heavy looking bags into the trucks at the entrance of the Windsor family estate.
Another small group was listening intently to a woman giving them instructions on the routes to follow and the speed to maintain. She was cautioning them on what to do in case they encountered severe weather conditions and to ensure and prioritize their personal safety at all times.
Even though he had been taking part in the business matters of the Hunter family for so long, he still didn't know half the places she had listed down to them.
He was too busy admiring the view from the back. Just based on her heavenly hourglass figure, this woman was worth pining after by the heroes of the world.
Nelson dearly wished her face to be just as impressive as her figure and hoped to get a glimpse. His previously determined steps faltered as he forgot all about Violet and shifted all his attention towards Christina who was busily giving instructions to the drivers who would be driving towards the North-East quadrant to deliver a huge consignment of sugar in various cities.
Christina turned to head into the Windsor family estate after finishing her work and Nelson greedily took in the stunningly gorgeous appearance of the fairy in human form.
