Chapter 1449
"What did you say?"
After hearing the report from the personal maid, Wang Hou Veronica, who was burying her head in approving the budget, raised her head in surprise.
"The princess of the Kingdom of Witchcraft has been found?"
"Yes."
After quickly scanning the letter in her hand again, confirming that the content was complete and it was indeed the original diplomatic note handed over by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the little maid who looked only ten years old nodded.
"Princess Kaitlin of the Kingdom of Mifala was found by the Dance Society under the Great Witch Court after suddenly disappearing for more than a month. Except for suffering some fright, she was not harmed."
"Is that so..."
After pondering for a while, Wang Hou Veronica put down the quill in her hand and took the initiative to ask:
"Is the source of the news reliable?"
"Reliable."
The little maid nodded:
"This news has been confirmed by the ambassador stationed in Mifala. After learning the news, he first saw Princess Kaitlin from a distance through his connections in the Shaman Society, confirming that it was indeed the missing Princess Kaitlin.
As for the seventeen major societies under the Great Witch Court, although the Prayer Monk Society and the Divination Curse Society, two major societies, expressed doubts about the identity of Princess Kaitlin, the other fifteen major societies did not raise objections. The credibility of this news is very high."
"What about the Great Witch King? What did Her Majesty the Great Witch King of Mifala say?"
"Her Majesty the Great Witch King did not appear."
After looking at the letter in her hand, the little maid accelerated her speech and relayed:
"Her Majesty the Great Witch King, who is 130 years old, has been behind closed doors three months before Princess Kaitlin disappeared, and even refused to drink and eat. Almost no one has seen her.
However, according to the guards of the Great Witch Court, they can often hear Her Majesty the Great Witch King's voice. Obviously, there is only Her Majesty the Great Witch King herself inside, but she seems to have been talking to someone. As for the specific content of the conversation..."
When she said this, the little maid paused slightly, and then her eyes were full of confusion:
"Her Majesty the Great Witch King seems to be repeatedly dissuading a very lively child, telling him not to mess with his Uncle William's workbook, not to always accept the pocket money given by his aunt, and not to pry open his parents' bedroom door at night.
And besides these, there are some stranger things, such as not going to other people's dreams to wander around when sleeping, and when seeing the souls of dead people, don't always want to reach out and grab them, and if you grab them, you are not allowed to stuff them into your mouth. Souls are actually not delicious, etc..."
"..."
What kind of mess is this?
After listening carefully to the little maid's relay, Wang Hou Veronica could not help but frown in confusion, completely unable to understand what the Great Witch King was doing. And after reading this part of the nonsense, the little maid turned the letter in her hand to the next page and continued to report:
"In addition, although Her Majesty the Great Witch King has not come out to cooperate in identifying the truth of Princess Kaitlin, she is old after all and may pass away at any time, so the presidents of the fifteen societies have reached a consensus.
Regardless of whether Her Majesty the Great Witch King comes out or not, the Kingdom of Witchcraft will hold the Witch King Ritual of succession in three weeks. At that time, various kingdoms will be invited to observe the ceremony. The formal diplomatic notes and invitations are expected to arrive one after another within three days."
Holding the Witch King Ritual in three weeks?
Wang Hou Veronica heard this, and her brow could not help but wrinkle tighter.
The family behind Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's mother was a side branch of the Great Witch hundreds of years ago, and her father had a lot of dealings with the Kingdom of Witchcraft in his prime, so the two sides were considered allied countries with a good relationship.
It's just that after she took down the former Minister of Finance and sent the former Wang Hou to accompany her father to retire, the attitude of the Kingdom of Witchcraft became ambiguous. Although the relationship between the two countries did not substantially deteriorate, there were many exchanges on the official side, but it was obviously not as close as before, and private exchanges were only 30% of the original, and some cooperation also stopped one after another, with some taste of being distant.
So this Witch King Ritual is an excellent window. If an envoy with enough weight is sent to express the attitude of repairing the relationship, there is a great possibility of re-closing the distance between the two countries, but the candidate for this envoy...
"What has the Prime Minister been doing lately?"
"Please wait a moment."
After turning around and rummaging through the pile of documents and taking out a thick schedule, the little maid opened her mouth knowingly:
"The Prime Minister is going to the Kingdom of Morna this month to discuss the cooperative development of the Golden Township. Whether we can take down the rich mines there is crucial to the kingdom, so I'm afraid there is no time to attend the Witch King Ritual."
Indeed... it seems the Prime Minister can't go.
Wang Hou Veronica sighed upon hearing this.
There are only five or six people qualified to attend this ritual observation. Among them, Watching Watching Qiaoshuya and the former Wang Hou go without saying. If they go to the Kingdom of Witchcraft, the possibility of borrowing troops and people to fight back and attempting a coup is greater than the probability of helping her do things.
And the Prime Minister of the Lower House has no time, the position of the Speaker of the Upper House is nominally Li Ang's, and he also cannot send key personnel with sufficient qualifications. She herself cannot throw away the busy kingdom and travel thousands of miles to attend the ceremony, so...
It is estimated that it still has to be Li Ang, the Prince!
After thinking about the people around her and finding that except for carrying the old King on a stretcher, only Li Ang had this qualification, Wang Hou Veronica could not help but reach out and stroke her forehead.
Although she had expected it before, the marriage she had was really not ordinary separation.
After muddling through the wedding, nothing that should have been done was done. Her Prince went directly to the Northern Kingdom on a mission, and after he came back from the Cleaning Bureau mission, she had to "assign tasks" to him here, immediately having another cross-border observation, this is really...
"Your Majesty."
After stealing a glance at Wang Hou Veronica's expression, the little maid tentatively suggested:
"What do you think of Miss Anna?"
"Anna?"
"Yes."
The maid reminded:
"Miss Anna is not only the sister of Prince Li Ang, but also the heir of the Laien family, and is currently the heir with the highest priority.
So as long as you write a handwritten letter on behalf of Prince Li Ang, indicating that he is willing to voluntarily give up the Duke title, then Miss Anna can automatically succeed as the Lionheart Duke and take over the position of Speaker of the Upper House. In this way, it is equivalent to having the qualification to be an envoy, and you can also..."
"No, don't mention this proposal again."
After waving her hand to signal the little maid to stop, Wang Hou Veronica could not help but glare at her.
"You have so many thoughts! I do want to stay with Li Ang for more time, but the price must not be tossing Anna! Besides, I shouldn't make decisions for Li Ang directly. Whether he wants to go to the Kingdom of Witchcraft or not is not certain."
