Lunch between the royal family and the Prime Minister was not a regular practice in the Empire, but it was one of the informal forms of meeting in the constitutional democracy of the Empire.

The private lunch provided an informal setting for the Emperor and Prime Minister to discuss imperial affairs and policy issues in a more relaxed atmosphere.

In the constitutional system of the Velant Empire, the current emperor, Empress Kerchia, played an important ceremonial role, while the actual executive power was concentrated in the hands of the prime minister and his parliament.

Despite this, the Empress de Kehia maintained a deep interest and influence in state affairs.

The Prime Minister regularly reported to the Emperor on government affairs and was part of the political tradition of the Golant Empire.

The royal capital of Horrant, the palace of Sharem.

Originally built as a large city-state residence for a duke, it was acquired by the royal family and gradually expanded into the palace it is today.

Ranchi's steps rang out in the palace.

He walked forward without hurry, under the guidance of the steward.

Today, the building is not only the residence of the monarch of the Pyrante Empire, but also a symbol of the Velant's national identity and royal traditions.

After leaving the Capitol, Ranch was sent by his secretary to meet the Empress at the Sharem Palace.

It's time for lunch.

Soon, he was in an opulent dining room, filled with the faint scent of antique furniture, and tall windows that brought in soft natural light that reflected on the royal tablecloths and silverware.

"Wilford, please be seated."

When Empress Kehia noticed Ranchi, she held out her hand to him.

Her posture appears dignified, dignified and cold.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Kechia."

Lanch sat on the other side of the long table and looked up.

There was a kind of humility in the demeanor of the young empress opposite, her long satin-like brown hair braided in intricate knots, studded with sparkling gems and pearls, her eyes bright, and her vivid blue appeared witty and perceptive.

But she appeared slightly nervous and cautious.

There was a long silence between the two of them.

It's like waiting for the attendant to deliver today's lunch, and it's like they're all thinking.

Aside from the appointment ceremony of the prime minister, the two of them had little to do with each other.

Today was the first time they had lunch together.

Theoretically, such lunches or similar private meetings provide a platform for the Empress and the Prime Minister to exchange views, and the Prime Minister can brief the Emperor on the policy direction of the House, major developments at home and abroad, as well as possible challenges and decision-making considerations.

In addition, such meetings also help to maintain the personal relationship between the emperor and the prime minister, maintaining smooth communication between the parliament and the imperial family, although the empress Kehia is not directly involved in political decision-making, as a symbol of the state and a symbol of unity, a good relationship with the ruling prime minister is important for the stability of the country and the trust of the people.

The problem is that the Empress of Kerhia still has a difficult attitude towards the election of Wilford as Prime Minister.

In her eyes, Wilford is a man with an unclean resume, vacillating stance, and unpredictable, and many people around her call him crazy.

But apart from him, no one dared to take on such a heavy responsibility at this point in time.

"By the way, is His Majesty Keshia hungry now?"

Lanch asked suddenly.

This question stunned the Empress of Kehia.

The cat boss in Lanchi's shadow was also stunned.

Are you treating all the girls like a tatar?

Hey, this is the Empress, you might as well change the opening topic when you talk to her!

"Isn't Wilford hungry now?"

Empress Kehia asked after a moment's reflection on the other party's motives.

"No, I'm looking forward to having lunch with Her Majesty as soon as possible, I'm already tired from the morning's work."

Ranch shook his head, smiling a little tiredly,

"I just don't think Your Majesty likes to talk while eating, and if I don't talk to you now, we may be silent for the whole lunch process later."

Sometimes asking a question that is not relevant to the important matter at hand can ease the atmosphere a lot and divert the other person's attention.

It's especially useful for a woman.

"Indeed."

The head of the Empress of Kerchia.

She really wasn't the type to like to talk while eating, and Wilford seemed to be used to that, so she said it in advance, so that when the two sides were quiet and ate their own food, there would be no embarrassment.

"Actually, I think Your Majesty should know quite well about the situation of the Alien Empire, I won't go into a lot of boring and boring information that you already know, if you have any curious things, please feel free to ask me, I will definitely know everything."

Seeing that the empress's posture was a little more comfortable, Lan Qi continued to speak slowly.

“……”

Empress Kehia nodded silently and looked at the other party,

"Wilford, if not as an ally, but as a friend, you are more approachable than I thought."

The lunch, which had been expected to be more like a difficult ordeal, became much easier, and she could either talk without talking or only talk about the topics she wanted to talk about.

Finally, she had a moment to take a closer look at the black-haired, green-eyed man sitting across from her.

However, what she didn't expect was that the man she was afraid of seemed to be in awe of her as much.

Although he was dressed in a neat suit and maintained respect and etiquette in appearance, his eyes still showed humility and sincerity, and it was clear that he had attached great importance to this private meeting.

"If I could, I hope I would never use my talents, and if I don't need my Pyrant Empire, it's the best Pyrant Empire."

Ranch said calmly.

"Do you know? Conservatives now regret electing you as the new prime minister because of your speech in the morning. ”

Kehia could see that, unlike most of the empire's magnates, he had a sense of responsibility, but no ambition, which may be the reason why he was hated and ostracized by some people.

Of course, many people also expected this, once Wilford helped them through the difficulties of the empire, they would not cling to the power in their hands and would soon be able to remove him from power.

"But it's imperative to express what I really think."

Ranch replied firmly.

"You shouldn't mislead the masses."

Empress Kerthia had not intended to say anything about this change of subject that might have upset them in this meeting, but now she felt that Wilford was not a man without energy, and that there were indeed some things that should be more open to talk to him.

She pointed out that Lan Qi did not reveal to the people the battle situation of the Honin Empire's official attack on the northern border of the neighboring Bliss Kingdom last night, but said that once the Horning Empire began to threaten them, the Horning Empire would go all out to counterattack, and would never allow the minions of the Horning Empire to reach into the territory that their ancestors of the Horning Empire had guarded for generations.

"But in this way, we can inspire the people's hearts and arouse everyone's will to resist, and we can't surrender before fighting."

Ranchi's tone lowered by half a point and said to Empress Kechia.

“……”

The Empress of Kechia, who had intended to continue questioning him, felt like the words were stuck in her throat.

She saw that Wilford Qing was clearly speaking the strongest words, but with the same attitude as a child who confessed his mistakes, which made Empress Kehia feel distressed, this unspeakable, humble humility that supported the beams alone.

Blaming him now will obviously make him even more difficult.

After thinking about it carefully, he did have a point, but he was basically prepared to resist hard.

"I'm sorry, Wilford, but I didn't take your situation into account."

She looked at Rankie's tired eyes, and guilt came to her.

Cat Boss: "??? ”

In just a few minutes, it could no longer see the wariness that Kehia had had shown against Ranchi at the beginning.

Even the other party, in turn, began to want to get closer to him.

Hubertian was not there, so he began to play freely, and the peak strength of the Northern Continent was not half recovered!
