Chapter 27 Her Royal Highness the Queen

Safi's carriage creaked across the stone pavement in front of the palace and stopped at the main entrance of the palace. Then the driver showed the palace guard a certificate representing Safi.

The guard let him go after checking, and the car passed through the garden of the palace, stopped in front of the main hall, and then walked to a study room under the leadership of the palace maid.

The palace maid knocked on the study door: "Your Highness, Miss Safi is here."

"Please come in." A gentle and pleasant voice came from behind the door.

Safi walked into the room: "Your Highness."

Fred immediately put down the official duties he was dealing with and stood up to greet his fiancée.

There was an eager and joyful smile on his face, but every move he made seemed cautious, as if he was worried that such behavior would offend Safi.

"Safi, do you want to drink black tea? Oh, recently there is a kind of scented tea in the palace, which is made from dried lilies. Do you want to try it? And get some small cakes...or cookies would be better.

?What do you want for dinner, steak or fish steak? Oh...the chef seems to have decided that today’s dinner will be lamb chops. I’m sorry, I should have asked you first."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has always been calm and self-possessed, was just a complete idiot in front of his beloved. Even his expressions became incoherent. After speaking for a while, he felt very embarrassed and shut up in a sullen voice.

"Just black tea and cookies." Fortunately, Safi didn't mind his erratic words and only replied coldly, "I won't disturb Your Highness for dinner."

A trace of injury quickly flashed across Fred's face, but he quickly adjusted his mood and turned around to give a few instructions to the maid standing by.

When he turned his head, Safi's eyes showed extremely strong sadness.

Her beloved Highness is always so gentle. Even if she is a sinner, he will not change his attitude. How can she, who is so filthy, be worthy of standing next to such a noble and unblemished person?

But she thought of Felissa's fearful look on her face, and she quietly swallowed back the words "What do you think of Felissa?"

Let her be greedy and selfish and have His Highness's tenderness for a while longer. After she persuades Felissa, she will definitely hand over the position of Crown Princess to someone more suitable.

"Your Highness, I'm here to report the situation to you." Safi coughed lightly and brought the topic back to the main topic of her visit today.

Fred understood, cleared the room, and signaled to Safi to continue talking.

Safi took out a map and showed it to Fred: "Did you see the mark on the map? The 'X' shape."

Fred's brows slowly wrinkled: "Bronze Avenue?"

Yes, a carriage goes to the Golden Avenue, and a carriage goes to the Silver Avenue, and their intersection is actually on the Bronze Avenue. There are such coincidences in the world.

"Are you going to start the investigation from Bronze Avenue?" Fred nodded, "What do you need to prepare?"

"There is no need to prepare anything." In Safi's plan, their first investigation was low-key and unobtrusive. "We plan to disguise ourselves as civilians and wander around the Bronze Avenue to ask if there are any usable clues.

.”

The incognito private visit is indeed a good idea. Fred has handed over all rights to investigate this matter to Safi. Naturally, everything will be based on her wishes.

"Then I'm waiting for your good news."

"Yes, Your Highness, then allow me to retire first."

After Safi finished her report, she left in a hurry, so fast that even Fred had no time to keep her.

Fred sat on the chair in despair, feeling that his soul was about to follow Safi, until a knock on the door woke him up from his sluggish state.

"Your Highness, the Queen is here." The soft voice of the palace maid came from outside the door.

Fred immediately went to open the door to greet his mother.

After entering the room, the queen started to look around: "I heard that Safi is here, where is she?"

Everyone is still a child in front of his mother. Fred did not hide his emotions and showed a bitter smile: "Already gone."

The queen's dignified smile froze on her face, then slowly faded, and her voice was inaudible: "I originally wanted to have dinner with you and Safi."

Fred felt guilty: "Sorry, mother."

The queen waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it, but she was very worried about her son's current situation, and Safi had indeed dissatisfied the good-tempered queen.

"My dear child," the queen stroked Fred's face, her tone as gentle as ever, "Forget about the engagement with Safi."

Fred knew his mother. Although her tone was as soft as usual, Fred could hear decisiveness in it. After all, she was the queen. Years of experience had made her firm and decisive. Once she made a certain decision, unless she had enough

reasons, otherwise it would be difficult to convince her to change her mind.

"Mother," Fred defended Safi eagerly, "please give her some more time. I think she just hasn't gotten over the kidnapping yet."

Although the fact that Safi was kidnapped when she was a child is a secret, Fred and Safi are engaged, so the royal family knows about it. Originally, the prime minister was about to choose to break off the engagement. After all, his daughter has been missing for a month, and there is no hope of finding her.

It was too slim, but Fred insisted on keeping the engagement, but luckily, Safi was eventually found, and it is said that she escaped on her own.

But after she came back, she was extremely resistant to establishing close relationships with others, and even her attitude towards her parents suddenly became cold. At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, and just thought that it was normal for her personality to change after what she had suffered.

"But it's been ten years," the queen looked at her children sadly, "even the ice and snow on the mountains should have melted."

This was indeed the pain in Fred's heart. Maybe Safi really didn't have any feelings for him anymore, so no matter what he did, he couldn't make Safi smile at him again.

But he was unwilling to give in, not willing to give in! And Felissa also promised that she would help Safi untie her knot, and it would only take two months, just two months.

"Mother," Fred looked pleading to the queen, "please wait a little longer, at least... until the thank you ceremony is over."

The thanksgiving festival is still a month away.

The queen thought for a while, and she also knew that it was not realistic for Fred to give up Safi now. If he was so indifferent, he would not be her child, and it would go against the teachings of her and His Majesty the King. One month to buffer, it should be

It's enough, and at the thank you ceremony, a "princess" is indeed needed to hold up the scene.

So the queen agreed: "Okay, I'll give you a month. I hope you can think it over clearly within this month, okay?"
