Everyone present was stunned when the Queen suddenly turned her head and looked her way.
Everyone tensed up even more.
Noraâs sharp ears caught Abbott muttering, âHas Her Majesty noticed me? She must be looking at me, Iâm sure of it! Look at me, look at meâ¦â
Nora: ââ¦â
The corners of her lips tightened.
To what extent did this guy want a connection with the Queen?
The Swiss president would never receive the Queen in person, of course. Therefore, the person in charge of receiving her was someone from the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA). They were then to escort the Queen to the pre-arranged place where she would meet the Swiss president.
Seeing the Queen suddenly stop, the minister heading the FDFA could not help but ask, âYour Majesty, may I ask what you are looking at?â
At the question, the Queen withdrew her gaze and her lips curved into a smile. âI wasnât expecting to see a woman among the guards, thatâs all.â
âYes.â The minister followed her line of sight and spotted Nora, to which she immediately explained, âItâs Black Cat.â
âBlack Cat?â
The Queenâs interest was slightly piqued. She asked, âThat world-renowned assassin?â
gαâηÏνððsâ¤com has stories worth exploring The minister nodded and replied, âYes, maâam. To welcome her into the country, we have brought in security personnel from the Assassin Alliance and the League of Assassins, both of whom are well known worldwide. Iâm sure youâve heard of them by now.â
The Queen nodded.
Of course she had, but⦠she couldnât help but take another glance at Black Cat. Then, she shook her head.
Seeing this, the minister couldnât help but ask, âMay I know if thereâs something wrong with you, maâam?â
âNo, itâs nothing.â The Queen replied, lowering her gaze and hiding the emotion in her light blue eyes.
She simply felt that the woman looked a little like a person she disliked, that was all.
That personâs name was Nora Smith, she was Queenie Schmidtâs niece.
It was said that Queenie, who had no children of her own, was very fond of this niece of hers, so the Queen had once arranged a banquet to entertain them a few years ago.
She had originally planned to foster a good relationship with Nora.
After all, Queenie was already of advanced age, so while he wanted to please Queenie, he had nothing in common to talk to her about.
But little did she expect that woman to be as difficult as her godmother.
Yes, she was. Although the Queenie had found out through her research that Noraâs mother and Queenie were sworn sisters, what Queenie was telling outsiders was that Nora was her goddaughter.
In doing so, she was announcing Noraâs identity to the public.
The Queen thought about that banquet. While she was talking to Nora, Nora had fallen asleep?
Yes, thatâs right, she had fallen asleep.
Was it because the things she was saying were too boring? Queenie had felt very embarrassed at the time. Although Queenie had later explained that Nora had a weak constitution and needed a lot of sleep, the Queen hadnât believed her.
That reason was simply too shallow.
In addition, the wild and untamed aura surrounding Nora had already spurned her from the beginning, someone in a position of power.
Of course, these were all things the Queen could tolerate.
The one thing she couldnât, however, was thatâ¦. She had married Justin Hunt!
Of the many men the Queen had seen, she was infatuated only with Justin. But because of her status, a relationship was impossible between her and Justin.
Still, she hoped that Justin would not approach any woman. After all, he was an exceptional man. There were only a few in this world who were worthy of him.
However, the woman living abroad ended up receiving the news that Nora had married Justin.
To top it all off, the most obnoxious thing was that the eloquent Cheryl Smith had turned out to be Justinâs daughter.
Justin must have given in just for the sake of the child!
After all, Nora had no talent â all she had succeeded in doing was finding a good godmother!
When she thought about this, the Queen suddenly stopped being angry.
Yes, why would she have to be so calculating with a useless woman who only thought about sleeping?
Besides, how could Nora be a capable person like Black Cat? Itâs not like she lacked money, she must be sleeping at home right now!
When she thought of this, the Queen revealed a hint of an elegant smile and said, âIâm very curious about Black Cat. May he protect me closely.â
She nodded her head to the person behind her.
The bodyguard beside her immediately said, âYes, Your Majesty. Then, let him join your fleet of motorcycles!â
âAgreed.â
The Queen accepted the suggestion. The bodyguard, however, looked at the Swiss staff and said, âHave her remove her mask before joining us.â
