Chapter 308: The Projects

"Sounds good," Therius said. "So, what is your biggest resource that you plan to use to help your teammates with this project?"

Emma tapped her fingers on the table and looked deep in thought. "Aeron is the biggest resource that I will use to help with this project."

"Eh..? What?" Therius stared at his wife, looking dumbfounded. He thought Emma would call him her biggest resource. So, how it ended up being Aeron?

"Am I not your resource?" Therius asked her.

Emma shook her head. "You are my biggest resource of all, but I will not use you to help my teammates. You are too great. If I used my husband, the king, to help me... it would feel like breaking a butterfly on the wheel*."

"I don't understand," Therius said. "What's butterfly has to do with this."
