Hearing her daughter's question, Qiao An couldn't help laughing.

"Inanna, mother, I am also a beholder nobleman of Udinos, what do you think of my temper, do you think I am arrogant and violent?"

"Of course not!" Inanna shook her head vigorously, emphasizing loudly with a solemn face: "My lord, you are the most beautiful, gentle and lovely beholder in the world! Like an angel!"

Qiao An could tell that her daughter's words came from the bottom of her heart. Although her evaluation of her mother was unrealistically high, after all, she was deeply moved by childish words.

Stretching out an eye stalk to caress her daughter's forehead, a doting smile appeared on the corner of Joan's lips.

"Inanna, since there are non-mainstream beholder nobles like my mother in Udinos, why can't there be a special prime minister?"

"Of course, gentleness alone can't control many arrogant and violent nobles. Saoirse is a very scheming and deep-rooted beholder. When you deal with her in the future, you must be more careful and stay on guard, but Don't let her lead you by the nose in a daze."

"When I say this, I don't mean to imply that Saoirse has any bad intentions. I just want to tell you to be cautious when interacting with people. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, so you must guard against them."

"Yes! Daughter understands!" Inanna nodded, with a playful smile in her eyes, "Don't worry, we beholders are born with the word 'suspicious' engraved in our bones. Except for my mother, I will not trust you easily. Anyone else!"

Joan couldn't help laughing. I thought to myself that my daughter really didn't read so many books for nothing. From her speech and behavior, it can be seen that she is obviously much more mature than before.

She told Inanna a few more words, and then brought her adopted daughter to the reception room to meet Saoirse and introduce them to each other.

Inanna couldn't hide her inner nervousness when facing strangers. Fortunately, her mother was by her side, so she could barely maintain her composure, and greeted the Prime Minister as politely as possible.

Saoirse was calm and elegant as always, looked at Inanna with a smile, and praised her for growing up quickly, healthier and more beautiful than when she was born.

Inanna was flattered by His Excellency the Prime Minister's compliment and seemed even more embarrassed.

Joan couldn't help but think to herself, if Inanna could still recall the scene when she was just born, remembering that she was almost drowned in the lake by Saoirse, maybe it would have a deeper impact on Saoirse's so-called "healthy growth". perception.

While watching Saoirse chatting with Inanna, Joan quietly activated the active mode of "Myth Alert" in order to eavesdrop on Saoirse's heart and find out her attitude towards Inanna.

Was she as kind and friendly as she appeared, or was she secretly malicious, wishing that Inanna would die immediately?

It's a pity that Saoirse has a "spiritual barrier" on her body, and Joan can't see her true thoughts.

At this time, Saoirse suddenly turned her head to look at Joan, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Mitra, the wine you invited me to drink last time tastes really good. Granted, the store said that it will be shipped next month, if you still have stock here, take it out and give me a solution to my alcohol addiction."

Joan opened the storage bag, took out three bottles of spirits brewed from giant apples and scented honey, and placed them on the table.

It was originally planned that the host and guest would share a bottle, but Saoirse had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and stretched out three eye stalks, entangled the three bottles of wine respectively, and stuffed them into her pocket deftly.

"Thank you, Mitra, I'll take these three bottles home and taste them slowly." Saoirse said calmly.

Qiao An looked at the Prime Minister in astonishment, and suddenly realized that her skin was unusually thick!

Shaking his head helplessly, Joan took out another bottle of wine from the storage bag and held it tightly, fearing that Saoirse would snatch it away again, parted an eye stalk, and pulled out the cork.

With the sound of "Bo", the aroma of fruit, honey and alcohol escapes from the bottle mouth and fills the living room.

"Oh~ that's the smell, it's great!" Saoirse swallowed her saliva exaggeratedly, and asked Inanna with a smile, "Little guy, what do you think?"

Inanna hadn't drunk alcohol yet, but she was familiar with the smell from the bottle. It smelled a lot like her daily "nutrition meal"—giant apples paired with a pot of honey tea.

"It smells delicious, Lady Saoirse." The young beholder answered truthfully.

"Have you never had this wine?" Saoirse asked.

Inanna hesitated for a moment, glanced at her mother first, then shook her head honestly.

Joan didn't give her a drink before, because she was worried that alcohol would have a bad effect on Inanna's development.

In fact, this is purely worrying. The physique of beholders is different from that of human beings. They are all born alcoholics, and Inanna is no exception.

Even though she lives in Udinos as a beholder, Joan still cannot completely abandon human habits and ways of thinking, including when it comes to educating her daughter, she always unconsciously regards Inanna as a human girl, and feels that she should not Give little loli a drink.

Saoirse didn't know the details of how their mother and daughter got along, so she wasn't surprised by Inanna's answer.

According to the tradition of the beholder clan, a mother is not obliged to provide her daughter with good food and drink.

If the beholder's mother does not give her daughter alcohol, the only reason is that she can't bear it.

In fact, in the cultural context of beholder society, this reasoning is entirely valid. The word "selfish" does not contain derogatory connotations in the eyes of beholders.

Joan cast a spell to conjure three large crystal goblets, and one bottle of wine just filled three glasses.

"To Inanna's health."

Joan stared at Saoirse and raised her glass to toast.

"To Inanna, and to the health of His Majesty and all of us."

Saoirse raised her glass in return and drank it down with a smile.

From the beginning to the end, Joan couldn't see anything unusual on her face. If she didn't sincerely wish Inanna to grow up healthily, she could only think that this woman was too rich and hid her true emotions tightly.

For people like Saoirse, Joan remembered Mrs. Josephine said a brilliant comment:

"We always want them to be saints, but we can't help but wonder if they're hypocrites."

Inanna also raised the glass and drank it down, licking the corners of her mouth, while relishing the taste of the spirits, while quietly looking at Saoirse, she was a little surprised that the Prime Minister drank the glass of wine calmly—she was not afraid of her mother being drunk while drinking. Is it poisoned?

The young beholder gradually realized that her mother's evaluation of the prime minister was just right. My innate experience doesn't apply to the Prime Minister. She is not a beholder in the typical sense, and even more unusual than my mother who is known for her mavericks throughout the city.

After finishing the glass of wine, Saoirse said goodbye to the mother and daughter, and made a sudden request before leaving.
