Chapter 540: Lanqi Is the National Teacher

Lan Qi and the Queen sat on both sides of the exquisitely carved dining table. The silver candlestick looked noble and solemn in the center of the table. There was no candle on the top, and the light outside the window was also very dim. It was obviously noon, but there was no color reflected in the surroundings. On the vessel, the air had a hint of rainy haze.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Keshia."

Lan Qi thanked the Queen.

After the two had a brief exchange before the meal, the table became quiet again for a long time. The waiter began to serve dishes one after another. While the two were thinking, they continued to eat with etiquette.

Until the clock unknowingly turned half a circle, lunch time passed, and the waiters cleaned the table for them as before the meal.

Queen Kesia looked out the window at the courtyard where the rain was about to fall, and was silent for a moment.

"To be honest, I'm scared of you because no one can figure you out."

She said frankly without looking at Lan Qi,

"I heard your speech yesterday. It was great. To be honest, I was inspired by you, but I was also more scared. I was afraid that letting you take office would have been a wrong decision."

She didn't know whether she should say these words to Ranchi Wilford. She couldn't find a topic, so she could only talk about what was in her heart.

"In your opinion, am I more terrifying, or the Horning Empire?"

Ranch asked.

"..."

Queen Keshia made no reply.

Objectively speaking, she actually felt that the man in front of her was far less scary than the Horning Empire. This was a question without any suspense.

But he was right in front of her, and if this man was an enemy, she would feel uneasy from the bottom of her heart.

"Put it another way, I am your staunch supporter and will do my best to fight for you against the Horning Empire. Do you still think I'm scary?"

Lan Qi asked again.

"No."

Queen Keshia closed her eyes and shook her head.

Receiving Lan Qi's assurance only made her feel extremely relieved for a moment.

"I'm concerned about your standing in Parliament."

she added.

Even if she is willing to support the new prime minister, she is just a symbol of power in the hearts of the people. She does not have much real power to influence the parliament. She only has some personal connections to persuade people who may help the prime minister.

Queen Kesia knew very well what happened in the meeting of the House of Lords before Ranchi came today. If Wilford and Duke Moretti had not maintained a high degree of restraint, the differences and conflicts in the parliament might have further intensified until Unable to clean up, civil unrest arose.

When Lan Qi heard Keshia's words, he seemed to remember the ridiculous confrontation in the morning.

"They want to get rid of the busker and replace him with his monkey."

He said with some dissatisfaction.

"Watch your words, Sir Wilford, Duke Moretti is my good friend."

Queen Keshia scolded.

She was surprised that Ranchi would speak wildly at this moment and express his thoughts frankly. It seemed that he was indeed very emotional towards Duke Moretti.

"..."

Hearing this, Lan Qi lowered his head and was speechless for a long time.

"Although I don't know the specific communication process between you and Duke Moretti this morning, I believe that you are all motivated by the idea of ​​​​better for the Paulante Empire. I should not interfere in the dispute between you, let alone I will defend you right or wrong, but when I hear others say bad things about my friends, I will never agree with them and I need to correct them.”

Queen Kesia began to worry that she had said the wrong thing, explaining or making a statement.

"Only I'm not wanted."

Lan Qi said disappointedly.

This immediately made Queen Kesia worry again.

"Maybe you scare people. No one knows what your next decision will be, or even what kind of words you will say."

Seeing the slightly depressed Lan Qi, Keshia's tone softened a lot.

Cat boss: "???"

It feels like I have learned new tea ceremony skills.

Sometimes directly expressing dissatisfaction, a method that does not even count as low-grade green tea, can actively induce the other party to rebuke, thereby assuming a victim posture and making the other party wonder who is at fault.

Now, instead of continuing to question Ranchi, Princess Keshia may have begun to think more about "whether Duke Moretti has gone too far."

This is not a low-level green tea method, but a return to nature that combines advancement with retreat and retreat with advancement. Compared with innocence, he even seems to be very upright.

As they talked, their relationship became closer.

Ranchi was isolated and helpless in the House of Lords during the war, but Princess Kessia's attitude was also clear, and she was willing to trust the Prime Minister.

The ensuing conversation between the two touched on many topics about the war and the future of the country. Queen Kessia expressed her views in a thoughtful way, while Ranchi showed his leadership and loyalty to the empire. The Queen expressed her gratitude to Ranchi. The decision raised a lot of questions, but it also came with satisfaction from Lanci's answers.

Although the status of the two is different, the subtle mutual understanding and respect between them begins to become more and more solid.

Until finally, the agreed lunch time was coming to an end.

Lan Qi glanced at his watch and politely signaled to Her Majesty the Queen that he needed to go about his work.

"I'm sorry, Sir Wilford, for taking up a lot of time when you should be able to rest."

Queen Kesia suddenly realized that time had passed so fast.

However, Lan Qi has no intention of leaving in a hurry. If the Queen still has questions, he will give priority to answering them until Her Majesty is satisfied.

"I don't see any hope of winning. Maybe in more than a month, the Horning Empire will enter Helsarem."

Queen Keshia took a deep breath and pointed out the most critical issue.

"What do you think the chances of winning are now?"

Although no one can really answer it, she believes that it is not only her, but also the people of the Polant Empire who are most concerned about it.

She just wants to hear what Wilford thinks, maybe he can give her more confidence.

Even if he is lying to her, as a war advocate, he should exaggerate the chances of winning as much as possible.

"0."

Lanqi replied.

"..."

Queen Keshia seemed shocked by Lanqi's honesty.

At least he should say one percent, right?

However, Queen Keshia could not see any lies in Lanqi's eyes.

She wanted to ask.

Since you are the one who is most convinced that there is no chance of winning, why do you still rush to go against the wind?

"Are you serious?"

In the end, these are the only words that Queen Keshia said.

At this moment, she could not empathize with the Prime Minister's psychology, and could only stare at his emerald green eyes.

She could not tell whether it was a clear lake or a bottomless pool. She just accidentally stared at him for a long time and forgot to look away.

"Please believe me. There is a saying that goes, 'When you are ready to sacrifice yourself, you are more likely to sacrifice others'. Fighting against the Horning Empire may cause considerable sacrifices, but before that, I am ready to sacrifice myself. I will open up a chance of victory for you at all costs, Queen."

Lanqi was like a knight swearing to the Queen at this moment.

But he was different from the ordinary firm and brave knight.

It was a vast loneliness and a faint sense of fragility.

"..."

Keshia didn't know why, but always felt that in front of this man, she was not like a constitutional empire monarch with a noble status, but a wise monarch with absolute imperial power.

This was a huge expectation, and also a trust that entrusted her with her back.

It made her want to protect this man and support him in completing his heroic and great cause.

"I understand."

Queen Keshia pondered, and finally nodded with a firm look.

Lanch then said goodbye to Queen Keshia briefly, and said that he would come to see her again. After getting Queen Keshia's promise, he left Salem Palace and entered the next trip.

It's hard to evaluate Boss Cat.

Another human who didn't escape Ranchi's hypnosis, after a few more sessions, he might let Ranchi do whatever he wants.

Now those people outside the shadow world, as well as the Horning Empire and the blood clan on the opposite side, may not realize the seriousness of the problem.

Even Boss Cat understands that this is a shadow world of global strategic hegemony, not a shadow world of character favorability strategy!

You look like a scourge of the country!
