The painless conversation went on for a long time. Olibat, Osborne, and the Queen, you say a word, and the dumb riddle composed of good words and beautiful words has been fought for a long time. I don't know how long it took for the politeness and greetings to fade away, and Olibat finally asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister...... What do you plan to do after that? Although I would love to give you a taste of this delicious Liber specialty...... Unfortunately, I'm leaving Liber early tomorrow morning. ”

"Hehe, don't worry about it, I've heard it. His Highness will take the famous "El Saiyu" back to the imperial capital, right? ”

“…… As you deserve to be Your Excellency the Prime Minister, you are really well informed. Olibat glanced at the silent Rycht, "Your Excellency, are you going to continue to inspect the southern part of the empire, or will you return to the imperial capital?" If the latter is the case, it may be a good choice to travel with the El Saiyu, what does Her Majesty think? ”

"I am also honored to be able to carry such a distinguished guest as the Prime Minister." The queen smiled.

"Although I would also like to ask for a ride to see the outstanding appearance of this "white wing"...... Unfortunately, though. Osborne showed a look of regret, "I have other agreements after this, and I really can't pull away." Therefore, we can only wait for the future to see if there is another chance. ”

"Really...... That being the case. Queen Asilia said slowly, "Those who come are guests, let alone distinguished guests like the Prime Minister...... If you're departing tomorrow on a regular boat, why don't you stay in this royal castle tonight? I will command that a state banquet be prepared for you to be entertained by Liber. ”

"Huh...... Please also ask Your Majesty not to overexert yourself, for a presumptuous visitor like me is not worthy of such exquisite hospitality. However, I have heard of this state banquet in Liber for a long time, but if it is prepared for myself, it is really ......."

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, don't worry...... This state banquet was originally set up to bid farewell to His Royal Highness, as the saying goes, it is better to come early than to come by chance - since you can meet at such a time, it is fate, and there is no need to refuse. ”

"Huh...... In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. That's all that has been said, and if you don't agree, you won't give the queen face—so Osborne agreed, "But the guest room is not necessary." I have asked the embassy to arrange temporary accommodation for me. ”

"Really...... In that case, I won't force it. "The queen bowed," there were still days left before dinner...... You must have been tired of coming in such a hurry. ”

"Don't bother Your Majesty...... It's just, if you can......" Osborne's eyes slowly swept over the few people present, "Your Highness, can it take up a little of your time?" I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about...... Of course, I also very much hope that the young hero over there who has done a great job in quelling the mutation will be appreciated. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of several people present were different - especially Heliga's heart was almost in his throat at this moment. If the contact with Al Ain was mentally prepared, Osborne's invitation was really unexpected. However, at this moment, he can be regarded as a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and after a moment of shock, Heliga quickly calmed down, he nodded, and said, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, has praised it falsely...... Rather, it is a useful thing to be able to communicate with a new generation of outstanding statesmen who are so appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"In that case...... Female Officer. The queen looked at Lady Hildan, "Please, prepare a room for them." ”

"Yes." Mrs. Hildan bowed slightly, "Then, three, please come with me." ”

"Grandmother, I'm ......" When Osborne and the other three left, Collotia looked at the queen and stopped talking.

"Hehe, although there are some gaffes, but under the pressure deliberately created, he can remain calm, as the crown prince, such a bearing is also qualified." The queen wasn't dissatisfied with Kolotia's performance just now, but she was also keen and observant, and she also noticed the anomaly, "But it seems that you didn't just lose your temper just now because of the fierce momentum of the "Iron and Blood Minister"...... What's wrong? ”

"That...... Grandmother. Gritting her teeth, Kolotia made up her mind," the red-haired clerk ...... Be...... Well, I used to be the student president when I was at the academy. ”

"What?" The queen frowned, her expression turned grim, and the daily life of the school that her granddaughter had told when she came back from school began to come to mind, "The one you said, the whole school was obedient to it, but halfway through the study, she suddenly dropped out of school for some reason, and has not been heard from since?" ”

"That's him...... Judging from his performance just now, it seems that he actually has an inexplicable relationship with the Imperial Government...... And...... And there are a few other ...... What do you care about......" Speaking of the back, Kolotia's voice was already extremely small.

“…… You kid is really. "As an elder who has seen a lot, how can the queen not see the bitter feelings of her unmarried granddaughter? sighed, although there were all kinds of worries, but the emotional relationship could only be spent by himself.

With her grandmother's approval, Kolotia could no longer contain the surging feelings in her heart. Ignoring image and etiquette, he ran out the door in search of the red-haired young man who had begun to wander around the courtyard because she had nothing to do—she had much to say to him.

"It is worthy of Her Majesty's favorite black tea, the variety, the aroma, the way of making tea - all of them are of the highest quality. Even though I've always disliked the senseless extravagances of the aristocracy...... Hehe, but the aroma of this black tea is indeed very attractive. In the reception room, under the bright afternoon sun, Osborne gently picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and let out admiration.

"yes...... But did you call me here to share your thoughts on black tea? ”

"Haha......" Olibart is no longer at ease at the moment, but Osborne is not disgusted by this straightforward attitude, "Your Highness used to be very smart, but it seems that Liberal's trip has made you brave and strong." Presumably, Your Majesty will be pleased with this. ”

"Your Excellency is ...... The courage is still as big as ever...... No, maybe even more aggressive than it was back then. Is it because of confidence in the impending plan of aggression? Not to be outdone, Olibat sneered.

On Prime Minister Osborne's face, the only remaining disdain and contempt that had appeared before had finally disappeared—at this moment, he was looking at this prince who had once asserted that he would not have much success in the political arena with unprecedented serious eyes and attitudes.
