Chapter 297: Standing Committee
"No, it won't!"
There was an exclamation in the restaurant, and the guests all stopped their meals in surprise and looked at a window seat together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are three girls there, Nayin Hinata, Xun Hui and Jiang Ling. Among them, Naine Hinata and Xun Hui were staring at Jiang Ling's left hand with wide eyes, where there was a shining golden ring on her ring finger.
"That guy really proposed to you!" Naine said in disbelief. She really couldn't imagine that Leon Friedrich, who had always been cold-faced, would get down on one knee and offer a ring to Jiang Ling with sweet words.
However, Jiang Ling herself nodded shyly and replied in the affirmative.
"Hmm. ”
"Congratulations!" Xun Hui happily congratulated, but what she had to say later was the point, "So, how did that guy do it? Is there a kneeling on one knee? Is there a ceremony? What is the marriage proposal?"
"That ......" recalled the scene at that time, and Jiang Ling, whose face turned red and red, responded to the curiosity of her friends.
"Also, it's nothing special. ”
She lowered her head and played a game of "ball of strings" under the table with the thumbs of both hands.
"Just walking down the road as usual, and then suddenly he took my hand and put the ring on. Then, we held hands all the way back to the hotel. ”
"Is that all?" Nain said confusedly, "without saying a word. Is that really a marriage proposal?"
"Oops!" Xun Hui sighed on the side, "For that guy Leon, this must be the limit." Even so, he mustered up the courage to propose. Compared to him, the one in your family is ......"
"Mengxi, he also mustered up the courage to confess to me!" Naine immediately defended his lover.
"It's just a confession, how can it be compared to a marriage proposal? Not to mention that it was a year ago. ”
"Hmm......" Naine puffed out her cheeks, looking angry.
"Alright, alright, don't look like that. Xun Hui hurriedly smiled and said, "My sister is telling you as a person who has come over, although love is as sweet as honey and makes people linger, but the taste after entering the next stage is even more tempting." Don't delay your progress. ”
"What's next?, isn't there something to say that marriage is the grave of love?" asked Naine, puzzled.
"How so. Marriage will only make the bond between two people who love each other stronger, so as not to bury love. These words are all made up by those playboys who like to mess with flowers and grass to make excuses for themselves. Xun Hui said with a serious face, and then narrowed her eyes, "Speaking of which." Li Mengxi shouldn't have some fancy intestines!"
"How is that possible!" retorted nervously.
"In that case, what's going on with this situation now?" Xun Hui said with some dissatisfaction, "It's rare to have time to rest, and you don't come to accompany your girlfriend!
I see, it's because Mr. Clark is angry about being called away by Dream Creek.
Naiyin finally understood the reason why Xun Hui was particularly bad for Li Mengxi today.
"I'm sorry, Sister Hui. Actually, it was my idea to ask Clark and Leon for help. Naine said apologetically, "Mengxi, it's really hard for him to stay in the underground library from morning to night lately. ”
"I'm not actually blaming him. Xun Hui was a little embarrassed to say this, "I'm also worried about the Mirage Desert, after all, it's ......."
With that, the three of them looked at the last empty seat on the couch seat. Today, I wanted to invite someone out for a walk, but it didn't work out.
"Barrett, are you alright?" Jiang Ling said worriedly.
"With Igarashi with her, nothing should happen. Naine replied, "It's just that there's no way to go on like this." ”
"We know that, too. Xun Hui was a little helpless, "However, this time the matter is obviously not something that a few of us can handle." Anyway, what the hell is the royal government that we can't get enough of forming is doing?"
"Karakala!"
As if echoing Xun Hui's words, the friction of the armor sounded. The two guards who entered the store walked straight to their seats.
Belch!
Xun Hui couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
As soon as he said something bad, someone immediately came to "check the water meter", which is too efficient!
Of course, the truth is not what she thinks. You know, although it's a kingdom, it's not a politics of terror. The two soldiers stood at the table and saluted to Hinata.
"Hinata-sama, Your Excellency President Wang convened an emergency standing committee meeting, is Lord Lee Mengxi here?"
Faced with the soldier's questioning, Hinata Nain remembered Li Mengxi's "try not to disturb me", and had to smile helplessly.
"I'm sorry, but Mengxi has something very important to do, and I'm not here right now, and I probably don't have time to attend the meeting. ”
"Yes. As he spoke, he said something like "be sure to come", but there was a rather embarrassed expression on the soldier's face, probably because Richard said something like "please be there".
"That!" So, Naine made a proposal here, "I also hold the committee member's qualifications, so if you can, I'll be in place of Yumekei." ”
"Really!" The soldier immediately smiled, and then bowed again, "Hinata-sama is one of the committee members, and we will never dare to treat you as a substitute for Lord Li Mengxi." ”
"I know. Because, that guy is something that no one can replace. With that, Nai Yin stood up and smiled apologetically at Jiang Ling and Xun Hui, "I'm sorry, it seems that I can't accompany you to the end." ”
"It doesn't matter. Jiang Ling replied immediately.
"That's right, 'national events' are more important, aren't they?"
"Hehehe. After laughing a few times, Naine looked at the soldiers waiting on the side and said, "Then let's go." ”
"Yes!"
In this way, Naine Hinata, led by two guards, went ahead to the royal castle in Chuo.
The Supreme Council is an important part of the separation of powers in Hatsuhaha's political system, and is composed of 51 people who are eligible for election on the condition that they do not hold any office in the government bodies they have established.
Very important matters that are beyond the personal authority of the "President Wang" must be decided by these 51 people and the king through joint consultation. Regular meetings are held every year to inquire about the work of all key government officials, including Wang, and to approve or reject certain policies. However, because the founding of the country has been less than a year, this conference has not been held once.
However, the commissioners' purely non-political status is doomed, and not all of them can be on call outside of the assembly period. So, what if something happens that requires urgent consultation?
For this reason, there is also the system of the Standing Committee under it.
That is, in the event of a major and urgent situation, Wang will convene at least eleven people from among those who are currently stationed in Hatsuba City and hold committee qualifications.
The meeting took place in the Intramuros in what was called the "Round Table" room. That's where Naon Hinata ended up.
At this time, in front of the two closed dark brown gates, there were already about seven or eight people, both commoners and nobles, living groups and battle groups. Among them, there is a figure that Nayin is more familiar with, that is the president of "Camelot", Duke Edlaide, who has the nickname of "Legion Commander" and "Knight King".
He lost to Richard by only one vote in the original election, which can be said to be the second most prestigious combat group player after Richard.
At the same time that Naine notices Duke, Duke also sees her. The man immediately greeted him with a warm but reserved smile.
"It's been a while, Hinata-san. Approaching Nain, Duke saluted with his right hand on his left shoulder.
"yes. Naine smiled and bowed slightly in return, "Didn't the first regiment of 'Camelot' go out on an expedition?"
"We just came back and we're still on a break. ”
"That's right. ”
"Anyway, what does Hinata think of this summoning?"
"What do you think, you mean?"
"The theme of the conference. Sure enough, it has something to do with the anomaly of the Mirage Desert. ”
Hearing this, Hinata Nain became serious.
"At the moment, that's the most likely. ”
"Sure enough, Hinata-sama thinks so too. With that, Duke looked around with a puzzled expression, "Hinata-san." Didn't Li Mengxi come? Since the Standing Committee is going to be convened, I don't think our king will not call him. Not only that, but I think I'll send someone to make sure he's there. ”
"It's as if they've seen through it. Naine smiled admiringly, "However, Mengxi has important things to do right now, so I'll be there for him." ”
"That's a shame. Of course, just because he couldn't come. I would also like to welcome Ms. Hinata's presence. ”
"I understand. ”
"Excuse me. At this moment, a soldier came up and interrupted the conversation between the two men, and then leaned close to Nayin's ear and whispered, "The king has please." ”
After the soldier said this, he took a few steps back and waited. And Nayin naturally won't lose face, she owes a slight debt to Duke.
"I'm sorry to miss me. ”
Duke smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind.
Immediately, Nain followed the soldier out of the Round Table Room and all the way to the King's office.
"Good afternoon, miss Hinata!" In the office, Richard greeted Hinata warmly when he saw Nane Hinata's arrival.
"Good afternoon, Richard!" As the soldier behind him closed the door, Hinata also responded, "You called me because of Yumekei." ”
"Hahaha!" Richard smiled sheepishly, "not to say you're not welcome." It's just that my brother's brain is really valuable. I heard the soldier sent to say that he has something important, but what is it?"
"It's an investigation into the kind of monster that now ravages the Mirage Desert, Anubis. Mengxi felt that this was likely to have something to do with the Cursed Dao. ”
"Curse props, seven killing stones or something?"
"Hmm. ”
"That's really still the matter at hand, it's more important. Richard nodded, "Why would he think so, though?" ”
"Actually, we've encountered that kind of monster before. It's ......"
"Knock knock!"
A knock on the door interrupted Nain's words, followed by the soldier's voice.
"Your Excellency, the members have arrived. ”
"I see. After responding to the door, Richard looked back at Nayin Hinata with a regretful expression, "It seems that the rest can only be talked about later." ”
"After all, you can't keep everyone waiting. Naine laughed.
"Well, then, let's go and let the first standing committee member start!" said Lang as Richard walked past Hinata's past and walked towards the office door.
