Queen and Her Duke

Tapping the hard table with her fingertips, Wen Lin's bright black eyes glowed with playfulness,

"Your Majesty, to be precise, Tilia met me first,"

Hearing this, Visia frowned very quickly, she raised her eyelids slowly, and said firmly,

"No, your Excellency, you are wrong. You are Gunivere's daughter. I should have met you when you were one year old. There are portraits of our young children in Hampton Palace,"

Mrs. Gunnevale is Queen Bonnie's mentor. Visia once heard Yaz mention that during the first two years before the queen was imprisoned, Mrs. Gunnevale secretly visited the Forbidden Palace many times.

After a moment of silence, thoughts appeared in Wen Lin's eyes, "I don't have any memories of my childhood, or even my parents,"

There was a slight comfort in her eyes, and Visia smiled at Wen Lin, "From now on, your Excellency will have many memories about Golan... and about me,"

The protracted gentle tone fell into Wen Lin's ears, and immediately aroused countless complex and subtle emotions in her heart. As the two silently looked at each other, they gradually converged into a warm current flowing through the whole body.

Visia was surrounded by the slanting sunlight, with blond hair, blue pupils, and a magnanimous expression of love like clusters of bright and strong roses.

Noble and charming.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere gradually began to develop in an uncontrollable ambiguous direction, Wen Lin lowered her eyes restrainedly to look at the neat desktop, and urged,

"Your Majesty, you should go out,"

Estimating the time, it is time for the Privy Council ministers to enter the White House.

Seeing Wen Lin's subtle expression that was about to be concealed, Visia hid the smile on her lips, and walked out leisurely.

Everything happened by coincidence, as soon as Visia was under the table, the ministers walked in.

According to the usual practice, Visia first discussed the most important government affairs with them.

Everyone chattered and put forward their own political opinions, but to the surprise of the ministers, Visia seemed to be extremely impatient today.

"Everyone, after discussing for so long, can't you decide on the most feasible solution?"

Although Weisia still maintained an unwavering calm on her face, the meaning of questioning in her words was very obvious.

The ministers in the Privy Council are all Vicia's confidantes, and they can somewhat figure out her thoughts.

In ordinary meetings, Visia is always more willing to listen to everyone's opinions, and only occasionally shows her assertive side when encountering urgent situations

Obviously just started discussing the repair of the southern embankment, His Majesty already didn't want to continue talking, and everyone carefully reviewed the recent events.

After thinking about it, the fact that Prince Philip will arrive at the Royal City of Bruns tomorrow coincidentally popped up in everyone's minds.

Everyone knew that the queen didn't like being discussed about marriage, but for the sake of stability in the Golan, ministers in important positions had to bring this matter up in front of her frequently.

The main reason why they agreed to marry Sistine before was because of the military threat from Fasser. The alliance with Sistine through marriage could save the Golan from the disaster of war.

But as a theocratic country, Sistine is very unpopular in the eyes of Golan Protestants, and they also don't want the queen to marry Prince Philip.

They are more inclined to think that this is a means used by the Queen to temporarily avoid war.

The considerations in their hearts were endless, but today everyone wisely didn't mention a word of marriage.

Under Vicia's deliberate urging, the morning meeting of the Privy Council ended extremely quickly. It wasn't until the ministers walked out of the White House that they suddenly realized that there seemed to be no such meeting as quickly as today.

Justice Burke walked up to Francis with a calm face, "Your Excellency Francis, have you noticed that Her Majesty Vicia is a little unusual today?"

Francis glanced at the person, without even moving his eyebrows, and said calmly, "Our duty is to serve His Majesty, not guess His Majesty's mind,"

After speaking, Francis strode away.

Compared with Vicia's abnormality today, Francis is obviously more concerned about the subtle changes in Justice Burke.

In Francis' view, although today's meeting ended quickly, every decision made by His Majesty Vicia is nothing more than the most suitable choice.

And Justice Burke, who has always been silent and devoted himself to studying the laws and regulations, has always been intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about things that have nothing to do with him in recent meetings.

The strangest thing is that he seems to be particularly interested in everything related to His Excellency Wen Lin.

Out of caution, as soon as Francis returned to the mansion, he immediately ordered his confidants to arrange for people to secretly strengthen the surveillance of the Burke family.

Wen Lin sat in the small study, quietly writing lesson plans.

The voices in the council hall could be heard clearly and completely in the small study. Wen Lin looked calm, and her smooth writing movements did not stop for a moment because of their discussion.

He didn't put down the quill in his hand until he heard the footsteps of Visia approaching as the others left.

The chair behind the desk is spacious enough for two people to sit.

Seeing Visia's movements, Wen Lin consciously gave way to one side, but she didn't back away too much, maintaining an uncrowded state just right, and at the same time, the two of them could lean on each other's shoulders.

Visia rested her head on Wen Lin's shoulder, closed her eyes, and leaned against her with a relaxed body, the creases between her brows revealed a strong sense of fatigue.

Slowly leaning to one side, Wen Lin carefully adjusted her sitting posture, trying to make Weissia lean more comfortably.

Seeing the obvious blackness under Visia's eye sockets, Wen Lin became angry with herself again, blaming her for being ungrateful last night until dawn

Only barely stopped.

At the same time that she didn't have a good rest, Visia had to worry about Golan's big and small government affairs. Will her body be able to handle it?

At this moment, Visia completely lost the majesty and coldness of a country's monarch, like a soft green vine, clinging to her defenselessly.

The wind outside the window crept in along the edge of the window, and the strands of long hair scattered by the two of them were gradually entangled together under the blowing of the wind.

Wen Lin lowered her head and looked at the two people with their long hair entangled together. She had the illusion of being obsessed. Her eyes were a little chaotic, but she couldn't hide her growing tenderness.

Thinking of the arguments she heard just now, Wen Lin proposed, "Your Majesty, the broken dam in the south of the Golan needs a lot of money. You can allocate some emergency funds from me first. As for the restoration of the river, maybe I can go and have a look. "

The goldware and various luxury items looted from the Holy See ships last time were all sold by Wen Lin at a good price. In addition, the money earned from the nobles at the banquet, while ensuring Wen Lin’s basic expenses, There is already a small surplus.

The south of the Golan has a lot of rainy weather, but the flood storage capacity of the river is very poor. Almost every four or five years, large-scale embankments will break and cause flooding.

The floods submerged farmland, houses, and livestock, and refugees had to flock to nearby towns. When the flood subsided, there were still diseases that could not be prevented.

In order to alleviate the difficult situation in the south, the royal court allocates a large sum of money every year for the repair of the embankment, which has become a huge expenditure over the years.

However, the repaired embankment can only be supported for one or two years at most, and then there will be problems again, which seems to be a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.

According to the arguments of the ministers, Wen Lin had already figured out the situation in the south, so she naturally knew what Visia was having a headache with.

The most fundamental solution is to build more practical and more stable dikes.

Having never seen the actual situation with her own eyes, Wen Lin is still unable to determine whether there is a problem with the construction process, or someone cut corners and materials.

But I heard from the ministers that every year the royal court would send special personnel to supervise the work, and nothing unusual was found.

Wen Lin thought to herself that after the completion of Yinhe Village, she would take the time to take a look.

Weisia opened her eyes at some point, her eyes flickering, she stared at Wen Lin's pensive expression, stretched her arms around Wen Lin's waist,

"Your Excellency, don't talk for the time being, don't think about these annoying things, just let me be alone with you quietly for a while,"

There was no reproach in the tone, replaced by the tactful sadness that would only be revealed when facing a loved one.

Visia in such a posture made Wen Lin's heart soften suddenly, and at the same time, she felt a little shy.

It seems that when the two are alone, they are always discussing political affairs.

With a soft sigh, Wen Lin moved to the side, letting Visia lie down with her lap on her head, her fingers and eyebrows slid down to her temples,

"Your Majesty, sleep for a while, and I will wake you up at noon,"

"Um,"

The energy she had been holding up all this time was exhausted, and Weisia soon fell into a deep sleep.

Wen Lin quietly looked at Visia's sleeping face over and over again without feeling bored at all.

It seems that no matter what kind of appearance Visia is, she is amazingly beautiful.

Visia often came out later than the ministers, and Mrs. Yaz was always guarding outside the door of the council hall.

It wasn't until it was time for Chinese food that Mrs. Yazi entered the council hall when no one came out.

There was no one there, and then Mrs. Yaz pushed open the secret door behind the curtain.

The intimacy of His Majesty Vicia and His Excellency Wen Lin sitting and lying down came into Mrs. Yaz's eyes without warning, and when they looked at each other, the affection in their eyes seemed to be overflowing.

Her mind went blank, and Mrs. Yaz felt that her eyes were darkened, and she felt a little unsteady.

His Majesty Vicia and His Excellency Wen Lin have reached this point, which is worse than the worst situation I expected.

Leaning tightly against the stone wall on one side, Mrs. Yaz tried her best to calm down, lowered her head, and did not let herself lose her composure too much.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency Wen Lin, it's time for dinner. His Royal Highness Latimer has entered the palace and is waiting in the dining room,"

When Mrs. Yaz raised her head again, both Vicia and Wen Lin had returned to their calm and dignified appearances.

When Visia passed by Mrs. Yaz, she deliberately stopped for a moment, and exchanged glances with Mrs. Yaz before moving on.

When Mrs. Yaz came to her senses, Visia and Wen Lin had already walked away side by side. There was no time to think about the deep meaning in Visia's eyes, so Mrs. Yaz hurriedly chased after her.

Latimer, who was hastily called into the royal court, was waiting anxiously. Vicia had always been indifferent to him, and never took the initiative to talk to him. This time, she took the initiative to invite herself into the palace and had a meal together. It was something Latimer couldn't even imagine.

However, even though he was nervous, Latimer maintained his elegant royal demeanor very well, and looked straight ahead without revealing any obvious uneasiness.

Seeing Visia walking in, Latimer immediately stood up, saluted politely, and then saw Wen Lin behind Visia, his eyes lit up instantly, "Teacher."

Visia raised her eyebrows slightly, and she took Latimer's sudden burst of joy at the moment she saw Wen Lin without showing any trace.

Turning her head sideways, Visia looked at Wen Lin thoughtfully with her faint eyes.
