Chapter 720: The Advantage is Mine!
Chapter 720: The Advantage is Mine!
I can't take it anymore! I can't bear to watch any longer!
A female cleaner, who had been gazing into the distance, couldn't help but hiss as she saw Lyon, his nose still dripping with blood, leaning weakly against Queen Veronica in the carriage. His face was pale, and he was clinging to the queen from behind.
If it was just some lovey-dovey stuff, I wouldn't mind. After all, that might be how the couple interacts. But this guy, he just hugged her from behind, and his nose started bleeding like crazy. Then, he weakly leaned on her...
Is that really necessary?
Is this the future Aquarius Director of the Purification Bureau? The strongest Level Three Cleaner in history, who had single-handedly destroyed half of the Dream Realm and could devour True Gods, is now helpless against a little nosebleed? If the True Gods he defeated saw this, they'd probably come back to life just to die of anger!
And you even pulled up the carriage's shade and lay down on that big, burly woman's lap? With that sneaky, satisfied look on your face? You're disgusting, immature, and perverted! You're embarrassing the entire Purification Bureau!
The female cleaner, extremely speechless, rolled her eyes at Lyon, who was lying comfortably on Queen Veronica's lap, his face hidden by her large breasts. She took off her FarVision Goggles and spat at him in her mind with intense disgust.
Shallow man! Look at that cheap smile of yours. What's so great about being big and clumsy? Graceful, petite beauty is the most harmonious!
"Princess Melisande."
As the female cleaner put away her goggles and found the food supply point, she was filled with resentment and began to focus on tearing into the tender lamb chops on her plate. It was then that the Minister of Foreign Affairs from the Northern Kingdom approached, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"I've managed to convince the Seao Kingdom..."
"Minister Stamor!"
Interrupting the Minister's report, the female cleaner, feeling rather annoyed, decided to follow her brother King Harvey's lead. She put on a serious face and said, "Although I'm the one in charge, you're the expert in diplomacy. So, there's no need to report these matters to me. You can make decisions on your own!"
"Princess Melisande..."
The Minister of Foreign Affairs hesitated, "But you are the highest-ranking member of this delegation. According to Northern Kingdom regulations, all my decisions must first be approved by you..."
"No need. I trust you."
The female cleaner, whose stomach was growling, patted the Minister's shoulder and said solemnly, "I know that because of your young age and this position, some jealous people have been talking behind your back. So, you're very careful with procedures, afraid of making mistakes.
But you don't need to worry. I know Harvey better than anyone. Gossip means nothing to him. The only reason he chose you is that he believes in your abilities."
As if something in her bloodline had been activated, the Minister of Foreign Affairs looked on in surprise. The female cleaner, eager to escape these messy and annoying matters, patted his shoulder again and promised with a regal air, "Just like Harvey, we value your abilities, not your background. So, you don't need to report to me. Do what you think is best, and I'll back you up if anything goes wrong!"
"Th-thank you, Your Highness, for your trust!"
Although the female cleaner looked like a youthful teenager, when she spoke with a calm and solemn demeanor, she exuded a sense of the Northern King's majesty.
And the Foreign Minister, who was taken aback by her appearance, couldn't help but shudder at her words. He then seemed to be infused with energy, straightened his back, and passionately exclaimed:
"In that case, I'll continue to rally support! I'll strive to bring another kingdom into the alliance before the carriage procession ends and the private banquet begins. Together, we'll demand the technology from the Corlock Kingdom be made public!"
"Yes, yes!"
The female cleaner, whose face remained stern after agreeing twice, hadn't caught what he said. She pressed her hand against her abdomen, struggling to suppress her churning stomach, and then, with a look of admiration, urged him on:
"Go! I believe in you!"
"I'm on it!"
Unaware of the commotion behind him, like a beast tearing into a piece of meat, the Foreign Minister, now with the full support of the royal representative, quickly returned to the banquet hall. His face glowing with excitement, he engaged in lively conversations with the envoys from various kingdoms.
Although he had suffered a minor mental CPU attack due to not seeing through the cleaner's true identity, the young Foreign Minister of the Northern Kingdom was indeed a skilled diplomat.
With his tireless efforts and eloquent persuasion, analyzing the pros and cons, he managed to sway the opinions of many envoys. Even those who didn't openly join the alliance refrained from outright rejection.
Some envoys from the Skylark Kingdom's allied nations, who had always maintained a friendly stance towards the Skylark Kingdom, began to waver after hearing the passionate plea of the Northern Kingdom's Foreign Minister.
It's done!
Observing the various expressions of hesitation, contemplation, indecision, and concern on the faces of the envoys, the Northern Kingdom's Foreign Minister couldn't help but smile even more.
Although the number of people willing to stand with him was still small, their lack of explicit opposition was, in many ways, a silent acceptance. It showed that his proposal had gained traction.
As for the allies who refused to change their stance... there had never been an unbreakable alliance in the world. When faced with overwhelming self-interest, any alliance could potentially crumble. These envoys couldn't predict the reactions of their respective royal families.
The Foreign Minister didn't expect them to switch sides and join him, but as long as these envoys considered the possible attitudes of their home countries, they wouldn't dare to stand firmly by that Queen's side. For them, the overall situation was already beyond repair.
After nodding to the envoy from the Saeo Kingdom, the Foreign Minister, now with a dry throat from all the talking, took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray. But instead of drinking it immediately, he narrowed his eyes and looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
Queen Veronica, who had just ascended the throne earlier that day, had just stepped down from the carriage, holding up her skirt. She then helped the pale-faced Prince down, looking worried as she asked him something.
Probably car sickness? He seemed to be having trouble standing straight.
The Foreign Minister of the Northern Kingdom couldn't help but smile with confidence as he watched the slender Prince stagger, needing the Queen's support to exit the carriage. He then raised his wrist and downed the champagne in one go!
One was a Queen who used to be wise and vigilant but now seemed obsessed with men, and the other was a Prince who needed a woman's support to get off the carriage, appearing indecisive. This time, the advantage was his!
