Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship: Chapter 539 Rocky McCarthy is calling
Chapter 539 Rocky McCarthy is calling
Lunch between the Polant royal family and the prime minister was not a fixed ritual in the empire, but it was one of the informal forms of meeting in the constitutional democracy of the Polant empire.
Private lunches provided an informal setting where the emperor and prime minister could discuss imperial affairs and policy issues in a more relaxed atmosphere.
In the constitutional system of the Paulant Empire, the current emperor, Queen Kesia, plays an important ceremonial role, while actual administrative power is mainly concentrated in the hands of the prime minister and his parliament.
Nevertheless, Empress Ceshia retained a deep interest and influence in state affairs.
The prime minister regularly reported government affairs to the emperor, which was part of the political tradition of the Pollant Empire.
Poland Imperial Capital, Salem Palace.
A large city-state residence originally built for a certain duke. It was later acquired by the royal family and gradually expanded into the current palace.
Lanchi’s steps echoed in the palace.
He walked forward slowly and unhurriedly under the guidance of the steward.
Today the building is not only the residence of the monarchs of the Polante Empire, but also a symbol of the Polante national identity and royal tradition.
After Ranchi left the Capitol, he was sent by his secretary to Salim Palace to meet with the Queen.
It’s lunch time now.
Soon, he came to a gorgeous dining room, filled with the light fragrance of classical furniture. The tall windows brought soft natural light, reflecting on the royal tablecloths and silverware.
“Sir Wilford, please sit down.”
After Queen Keshia noticed Lan Qi, she stretched out her hand to indicate to him.
Her posture was dignified, noble and cold.
“Thank you, Your Majesty Keshia.”
Lanchi sat on the other side of the long table and looked up.
There is a kind of humility in the behavior of the young queen opposite. Her long, satin-like brown hair is braided in complex knots and inlaid with shining gems and pearls. Her eyes are bright, and there is wit under the dark blue. with insight.
But she seemed a little nervous and cautious.
There was silence between the two people for a long time.
It seemed like he was waiting for the attendant to deliver today’s lunch, and he seemed to be thinking.
Other than the appointment ceremony of the prime minister, the two of them had little interaction before.
Today is the first time they have lunch together.
In theory, such lunches or similar private meetings provide a platform for the Queen and the Prime Minister to exchange views. On this occasion, the Prime Minister can introduce to the Emperor the policy direction of the House of Representatives, the development of major domestic and international events, and the possible challenges that may be faced. Challenges and decision-making considerations are also an important channel for the emperor to understand government affairs operations and national conditions, so usually the prime minister should speak first.
In addition, this kind of meeting also helps to maintain the personal relationship between the emperor and the prime minister and maintain smooth communication between the chamber and the royal family. Although Queen Kesia does not directly participate in political decision-making, as a symbol of the country and a symbol of unity, A good relationship with the ruling Prime Minister is of great significance to the stability of the country and the trust of the people.
The problem is that Queen Kesia still has a hard time agreeing with the selection of Wilford as prime minister.
In her eyes, Wilford is an unpredictable man with a dirty resume, a wavering attitude, and many people around her call him a madman.
But except for him, no one dares to take on such an important task at this point in time.
“By the way, is Your Majesty Keshia hungry now?”
Lan Qi suddenly asked.
This question stunned Queen Keshia.
The cat boss in Lan Qi’s shadow was also stunned.
Do you regard all girls as Tata?
Hello, this is the Queen, why don’t you change the topic of conversation when chatting with her?
“Sir Wilford, aren’t you hungry yet?”
Queen Kexia thought about the other party's motives for a while and asked back.
"No, I'm looking forward to having lunch with Her Majesty the Queen as soon as possible. I'm so tired from the morning's work."
Lan Qi shook his head and showed a tired smile, "I just think that Your Majesty doesn't like chatting while eating. If we don't chat with you now, we may be silent throughout the lunch."
Sometimes asking a question that has nothing to do with the important matter at hand can lighten the atmosphere and divert the other person’s attention.
Especially useful for a certain woman.
"really."
Queen Keshia nodded.
She is indeed not the type who likes to talk while eating, and Wilford seems to be used to it. If you agree on this in advance, then both parties will eat quietly later, and there will be no embarrassment.
"Actually, I think Your Majesty should know quite a lot about the situation of the Paulante Empire. I will not repeat a lot of boring information that you already know. If you have anything curious, please feel free to ask me. , I will answer everything I know."
Seeing that the Queen's posture became slightly more comfortable, Lan Qi continued to speak slowly.
…”
Queen Keshia nodded silently, looking at the other party,
“Sir Wilford, if not as an ally but as a friend, you are more approachable than I thought.”
The lunch that was originally expected to be more like a difficult test has become much more relaxed. She can either not talk or just talk about the topics she wants to talk about.
Finally she had a moment to carefully observe the man with black hair and green eyes sitting opposite.
However, what she didn't expect was that the man she was afraid of seemed to be also in awe of her.
Although he wore a neat suit and maintained respect and courtesy on the outside, his eyes still showed humility and sincerity. It was obvious that he attached great importance to this private meeting.
"If possible, I hope I never have to use my talents. The Paulant Empire that does not need me is the best Paulant Empire."
Lanci said calmly.
“You know? Conservatives now regret electing you as their new prime minister because of your speech this morning.”
Keshia can see that unlike most of the empire's powerful people, he has a sense of responsibility but no ambition. This may be why he is hated and ostracized by some people.
Of course, many people have also expected this. Once Wilford helps them overcome the difficulties of the empire, they will not cling to the power in their hands and will soon remove him.
“But it is imperative to express my true thoughts.”
Lanchi replied firmly.
“You should not mislead the masses.”
Queen Keshia originally did not plan to change the topic in this meeting that might cause them to break up, but now she feels that Wilford is not a man without courage, and there are some things that she should talk to him more openly. .
She was referring to the fact that Lan Qi did not disclose to the public that the Horning Empire had officially attacked the northern border of the neighboring Kingdom of Bliss last night. Instead, he said that once the Horning Empire began to threaten them, the Paulante Empire would use all its strength. Counterattack, the claws of the Horning Empire will never be allowed to penetrate into the land that their ancestors of the Pollant Empire have protected for generations.
“But this can inspire people’s hearts and arouse everyone’s will to resist. We cannot surrender without fighting.”
Lanqi lowered his tone by half and said to Queen Kesia.
…”
Queen Kesia, who originally planned to continue questioning him, felt as if her words were stuck in her throat.
She saw that Sir Wilford was clearly saying the toughest words, but he was acting like a child admitting his mistake. This made Queen Kessia feel heartbroken. This kind of unspeakable humility of being alone and supporting the beam.
If I still blame him now, it will obviously make it more difficult for him.
Thinking about it carefully, what he said did make sense, but he basically insisted on being prepared to resist vigorously.
“I’m sorry, Sir Wilford, I didn’t consider your situation.”
She looked at Lan Qi's tired eyes, feeling guilty.
Cat boss: “???”
In just a few minutes, it could no longer see Keshia’s initial alertness towards Lanchi.
Even the other party in turn starts to want to get closer to him.
If Hugh Boli was not there, he began to play freely. The pinnacle of Beidu's peak skills may not have recovered by half!
