King unconsciously glanced at Nora, who was standing off to the side and seemed to be watching them. In reality, however, she was leaning against the wall with her head tilted to one side and napping.
The Queen continued. âBy the way, what are you coming to the UK for?â.
King looked down and replied, âMm, Iâll have to attend some business meetings.â
âWhat kind of business meetings require you to bring 100 people with you?â.
King raised his head and looked intently at the Queen. âAre you forbidding me to come?â
The Queen choked up.
galnovels.cóm is the source For some reason, she felt that the manâs attitude had become a little cold, and the superficial friendliness of a moment ago had disappeared.
The Queen was not afraid of him, of course.
It was just that, because she was in love with him, she was automatically relegated to a position of disadvantage.
She patiently explained to him, âI do not forbid you to come, but every visitor to Buckingham Palace is subject to strict scrutiny. After all, you must know that not just anyone is allowed to enter. You can only take a maximum of 20 people into the palace.â
King bargained, â70.â
The Queen sighed. â30 at the most. No more than that.â
â60.â
The Queen: ââ¦â
The Queen gritted her teeth and said, â35! No more!â
â55.â
The Queen: â!!!â
Did he think he was negotiating in a market with her? Did he know the consequences of giving the go-ahead for 55 of them at Buckingham Palace?
The Queen couldnât help but ask, âWhat on earth does he intend to do there?â
âBusiness meetings.â
With that, she couldnât continue the subject with him.
Nora, her eyes narrowed into slits, looked asleep, but in reality she had been listening with her ears pricked up.
What kind of business meeting would she have, was that any way to petition the Queen?
Just as she was secretly scorning him, the Queen let out another helpless sigh, surprisingly showing exceptional patience. She said, âI really take my hat off to you. You refuse to tell me anything, and yet you insist that I give you authorization. Forty people, thatâs my limit.â
âDeal.â
King immediately responded with a single word.
Only then did the Queen say, âWhat have you been doing lately? Youâ¦â
Before she could finish, King suddenly stood up and said, âI suddenly remembered that I have something to attend to, so Iâll leave first.â
The Queen: â???â
She stared at King, dumbfounded.
Was he kicking her to the curb now that she had outlived her usefulness? And tossing her aside as soon as he had served his purpose?
This man was soâ¦
She was practically speechless. She asked resignedly, âYou only want to bring 40 people to the palace, donât you?â
King countered with a question of his own, and asked, âCan I bring more?â
â⦠No, you canât! But you also canât leave me out after youâve used me, canât you at least finish the meal with me?â
âThen let me bring another ten people with me.â
The Queen doffed her hat to him. She stamped her foot angrily in a rare childish display before the outsiders and said, âGo away, go away! Surely your time costs a lot.â
King nodded.
Just as he turned to leave, the Queen looked at Barbarian and said, âGo with him. You are responsible for protecting him during these three days he is in Switzerland.â
However, Barbarian said in Welsh with displeasure, âBut what is he going to do if I am not there? He will be in great danger if he meets with another attack like the one now.â
The Queen lifted her chin proudly and said, âIt was I who contacted him and asked him to come to Switzerland. If this is such a dangerous place, all the more reason for me to guarantee his safety. Besides, arenât there a lot of people here anyway? Didnât Black Cat risk his life to protect me precisely because he wants to become part of my Royal Guard?â
After speaking, fearing that Barbarian was still worried, the Queen looked at Nora and said, âBlack Cat, seeing that you saved me, I allow you to stay by my side and protect me.â
After saying this, she raised her head proudly.
As Queen of the United Kingdom, she had always been the object of adulation. For example, the two main organizations, the Assassinâs Alliance and the League of Assassins. To please her, both had given their all in the rescue operation that had just taken place.
Abbott, of the League of Assassins, had even suffered burns from the fire.
Now that she was giving Black Cat such an opportunity, she would no doubt be incredibly grateful.
Unexpectedly, however, as soon as she spoke, Black Cat approached. The womanâs voice was icy as she replied impassively, âNo, Iâm fine.â
Her response stunned the Queen, who asked, âYou didnât risk your life to come up to save me just so you could stay by my side and protect me?â
âNo.â
Nora looked intently at King and said, âI did it so I could protect you.â Since King was visiting Switzerland, Clifford, the Swiss minister, would have to have people available to protect him. A moment ago, a team of people had already assembled outside, ready to leave. When the Queen heard it, she inexplicably felt as if she had just been stabbed in the heart.
She looked at Black Cat and then at King, feeling a little embarrassed. She said, âKing has never allowed women to approach him, so Iâm afraid this wonât be possible.â
Nora raised her eyebrows and looked at King. She replied, âReally, why donât you ask him?â
After all, King was the VIP this time. Clifford would undoubtedly prioritize pleasing him over other people.
The Queen was quite annoyed, so she asked King in Welsh, âThis is Black Cat, from the Assassinâs Alliance. Sheâs a woman. She says she wants to be your bodyguard, but I donât think youâd agree, would you?â
As the Queen spoke, she looked at Black Cat. No one could turn her down.
Especially if it was a woman.
King had always practiced abstinence. If he hadnât known he had a son, he would have thought she liked men.
Other than that woman named Nora Smith, King would never allow other women to approach him.
Therefore, King would reject Black Cat for sure.
Once King rejected her, she would reject her too. Youâd see what Black Cat would do then!
She would be the one to be shamed!
King: ââ¦â
He was about to reply when he saw Black Cat turn to look at him. For some reason, he felt that Black Cat had seen through his mask.
