Chapter 34: Honesty

In the lavishly decorated palace, an old man with gray hair and kind eyebrows sat on a chair, looking at the petite girl in front of him with kind eyes.

"Laura, you're here."

"Her Majesty."

Laura performed an aristocratic salute to the old man.

Queen Elizabeth, who did not have the slightest momentum on her body, and looked like an old lady next door, stretched out her hand to the girl and invited, "Come and sit down next to me." ”

Laura walked over to the queen and sat down.

Elizabeth looked at her closely, with a kind smile on her face: "How long have we not seen each other?" The last time I saw you, you were a little girl who was only up to your father's waist, and now you have grown so big. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's been ten years." Laura replied, holding back her anxiety.

"Ah, it's been ten years." Elizabeth's face showed a look of remembrance, "Ten years, time flies so fast." ”

After a moment, she looked at Laura and said, "I called you here today, first of all, to tell you about your family. I'm sorry, but I have to say that your father, Count Richard Crawford, has been missing for many years. I think it's time for the Crawford family to be inherited by a new member. ”

"Count Richard Crawford was a man of honour and integrity, a fine nobleman. We're all sorry for him. His death was a great loss for the entire British Empire. Fortunately, now, we see that his daughter has also become an excellent noble heir. I think it's time for the Crawford family, and for England as a whole, to have a new countess. ”

Elizabeth looked at Laura, the smile on her face faded, and she exuded a faint royal aura: "Tell me now, are you ready to accept this heavy responsibility?" Became the 11th Count of Crawford. ”

With a solemn look on her face, Laura stood up from her chair and saluted the queen: "Yes, Your Majesty. I am ready to assume all the duties of a nobleman. ”

"Get up, Laura." A smile reappeared on the queen's face, "It's not a formal canonization ceremony, so there's no need to be so solemn. ”

Laura stood up and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, I have one thing ......"

Elizabeth raised her hand and said, "I understand what you're talking about, and in fact it's just another thing I want to say to you." ”

Laura fell silent, her eyes fixed on the Queen, waiting for her to continue.

Elizabeth said with a smile: "During this time, that friend of yours has put a lot of pressure on me and the entire royal family. ”

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty." Laura said, "But we're all worried about Sue's safety. ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Elizabeth shook her head, "I specifically instructed them not to do anything out of the ordinary to that Huaxia man. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Laura relieved herself a little and thanked her.

Elizabeth looked at Laura with a straight face and said, "Laura, we all hope that this matter will be resolved as soon as possible and the lost crown will be recovered." It's about the face of the royal family and the whole of Britain, and I think you should understand how important it is. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I know very well." Laura nodded.

"Then you should also understand that we can't easily release that Huaxia man." Elizabeth said again.

"But the crown was not ...... by Sue," Laura said anxiously.

"But at least it has something to do with him, doesn't it?" Elizabeth interrupted her, "We all know very well that the person who chased and killed those agents on the highway that day was the Huaxia man named Su Bai. And the information whose authenticity is questioned by your friend is indeed true. ”

Laura was silent.

Elizabeth suddenly changed her words and said, "Actually, I also believe that the crown was not taken by him. ”

Laura jerked her head up and looked at her quizzically.

"Our most elite soldier, Captain John Price from the Special Air Service Regiment, and two other members of the team told me that it could not have been done by that Chinese man," the queen said. They told me that Su Bai once infiltrated a Russian missile base occupied by separatist forces with them, prevented a nuclear strike against the United States, and saved the world. ”

Laura stared at her unblinkingly, surprise in her eyes, then pride and pride.

"It seems that our countess is really going to be married by that Huaxia boy, he is really a lucky young man." Elizabeth, with a good-natured smile, teased.

Laura said calmly: "Yes, I love Sue, and I will spend my life with him and never be separated." ”

Elizabeth shook her head secretly and continued: "Although we are almost certain that the crown was not snatched by him, for now, it is really difficult for him to clear his suspicion. ”

"Your Majesty, what do you need me to do?" Laura asked bluntly.

The queen looked at him with a solemn look in her eyes: "Laura, I want you to tell me everything you know. Don't deny it, you must know something. I need this information so that the government agents can find out the truth and recover the crown. ”

Laura had a look of hesitation on her face.

Elizabeth didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, with a look of encouragement in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, the girl sighed softly and said, "You are right, Your Majesty, we do know some information. ”

"Tell me, Laura."

"In fact, we had information that someone was trying to steal the crown before it happened," Laura said. However, in the absence of conclusive evidence, and because those who planned this were accomplices within the government, there is no way to alert the royal family and the government. ”

Elizabeth listened quietly to what she had to say.

Laura continued: "In order to prevent those men from succeeding in their plot, and also to prevent the entire British Empire from being disgraced, I ask Sue to accompany me to the exhibition on the day of the Crown's exhibition, and to protect the Crown in secret. ”

Sue set her sights on the robbers of the Crown, but they were unable to stop the gangsters from taking the Crown out of the Tower of London due to their introductory counterparts. He chased all the way outside, and then found that the crown had been taken to a car, so he continued to chase after him. ”

"Subsequently, as you know. Eventually, he succeeded in retrieving a chest from those men. Unsure if it was a crown, and for some other reason, Sue took the crate back to Crawford Manor and opened it. ”

Speaking of this, Laura gritted her teeth a little: "However, all this is just a trap, and the box is not the crown at all, but the tracker placed on the crown." The other party had already arranged everything, and the crown was not taken out of the Tower of London at all, but was still placed inside, and it was to be retrieved later. ”
