Chapter 1615: Maca's Strength
After all, the queen is always the queen, and even during the period of refuge, the face of the royal family cannot be lost. Because, what she represents is not an individual, but the image of the whole country.
Marca, with Delphi and Kingsley, followed behind the two guards leading the way, stepping on the red carpet through the foyer, while quietly admiring the various ornaments and paintings on both sides, and couldn't help but compare herself to Fort Blois.
To be honest, just looking at the magnificent appearance is indeed not comparable, at most it can only be called "each with its own characteristics".
But in any case, just looking at it this way, ordinary people would not have thought that the members of the royal family moved here to escape the calamity.
It wasn't long before the guards in front of him stopped in front of the main hall and respectfully told the three of them to "wait a moment" before turning around and tapping lightly.
"Mr. Macklean with Mr. Kingsley Shackle...... Arrive at the estate with Miss Delphi. β
Although the specific name had been asked in advance, it was obviously still difficult for the other party to be uncomfortable with Delphi, who insisted on only reporting his name and not saying his surname.
No way, so far, it seems that he really hasn't reported his family name when he came to meet the queen.
Fortunately, the "big guys" inside obviously didn't mean to blame him for the little guard, and the door to the main hall was quickly opened gently by the guards inside.
"Three, please come in."
The two guards hurriedly saluted this side, and then raised their hands to signal that the three of them could enter.
Seeing this, Maca didn't say anything, just nodded slightly at the other party. Then he raised his leg and walked inside, followed by Delphi and Kingsley.
As soon as she entered the main hall, Maca's vision was instantly filled with the gold that the British royal family was accustomed to.
Golden wall decorations, golden curtains, golden candlesticks, golden roof carvings...... Even the armchairs and the cushions placed on them are golden.
However, under the background of the huge crystal chandelier and the embroidered carpet with a red background, such a "heroic" full of gold is not rustic at all, but also becomes a kind of golden and brilliant momentum because of the reasonable matching and empty, which makes people seem to enter some kind of noble and elegant aura at the moment of stepping in.
Unlike the restrained and deep sense of heritage of the Blois family, this is undoubtedly a high-profile display of one's identity that only a royal family can have.
However, Maca soon discovered that although there was a luxurious high-backed chair in the deepest part of the hall, the Muggle Queen was not sitting there at this time, but was sitting on the sofa on the side of the hall with her eldest son, the old bishop, Davis.
Maca didn't have much of an impression of the prince, but he at least knew that it was the current first heir to the throne...... That is, that is the crown prince, the future king.
"Mr. McLean...... Good evening, two more! β
Her Majesty was naturally the first to speak, but as with the last time Maca met her, she was old and did not usually speak much in more formal situations. After her son got up with a slight help and smiled at Maca, the old bishop came up in her place.
"No, you're welcome, Mr. Davidson." Maca waved her hand as she walked forward, "This is not the first time I have met Her Majesty...... To be honest, I personally didn't see this meeting as an overly formal conversation, because I was communicating the visit from a private point of view. β
Saying this, after shaking hands with old Davidson, he walked very neatly across from the Queen and the Prince, stretched out his hand and invited:
"You may be seated! Tonight is a casual conversation between friends...... Our identities and backgrounds may be a topic of conversation, but it's better not to weigh each other against the oddsβthat will only make my conversation harder. β
While simply hinting at her desire to have a more efficient conversation, Maca had already sat down in the sofa chair, and really didn't think of herself as an outsider at all.
However, Kingsley and Delphi, who were following him, were not as casual as him, but silently stood behind the sofa where Maca was sitting, as if they were completely Maka's entourage.
Of course, the two of them didn't have no place to sit, not to mention that there were many chairs next to them that could sit on, and even there was room for one person on either side of Maca. If you are willing to squeeze in, maybe the old bishop will be able to sit with them!
However, this is what Maca had agreed with Kingsley and Delphi before he came - today he can let go of a bit, and even face the Muggle Queen if necessary, but Kingsley and Delphi had better show some status gap and save some face for the queen.
After all, Maca didn't want the wizards to completely overpower the Muggles, which would not be a "fusion" of the two societies, but a very rough oppression and annexation.
Obviously, Maca doesn't want to be a "king", so there is no benefit to him, only trouble.
But......
"Mr. Davidson?"
When both the queen and the prince looked at Kingsley and Delphi, who were standing behind Maca, and then sat down as if they agreed with the tone that Maca had put on, Maca looked at the old bishop who was about to sit down next to him, and called him softly.
"Before you take your seat, I actually want to ask you one more thing - do you represent your 'personal' identity when you are here tonight?"
Maca didn't hide the meaning too deeply, and combined with the actions of Kingsley and Delphi, what he wanted to say was already very clear.
If the old bishop had replied that he was a "royal advisor" or a "spokesperson for the Queen" or something like that, he would have to stand behind the Queen and the Prince.
So soon, I saw the old bishop gently dust off his robe and said with a smile:
"Heh, didn't Mr. McLean just say it all? Today is just a private chat, so of course I am here as a person. β
If you listen carefully, you can still hear it, and there is a hint of embarrassment in his tone.
But what he didn't expect was that just as he finished saying this and was about to sit down officially, Maca actually raised his hand and insisted on holding him on the way to sit down.
"I'm sorry, but in my personal capacity, I don't approve of your participation in this conversation. Of course, it's not that I want to embarrass you, but it's really ...... With all due respect, you, as a wizard, don't have the ability to participate in this discussion. β
