At 10:30, the motorcade set off from the airport and headed to the hotel where the Queen stayed.
After the news reporters dispersed, Chi Feichi took Hui Yuan Ai and hit Sally Bes' car.
The convoy advanced slowly, and bodyguards and security police were able to follow on foot.
Sallybeth turned to look at Chi Feichi and smiled, "Like Kana, you don't like to be photographed by media reporters."
Chi Feichi said ‘hmm’ without saying anything else.
In standard British polite chats, personal topics such as money, work, sex, health, etc. are not allowed to be discussed.
He originally wanted to ask the Queen if she knew about the Field family and how much she knew, but he gave up before getting in the car.
Putting aside the fact that the Queen will not talk to him, it is estimated that the Queen may not know much. The Queen has the right to intervene in politics, but she generally does not exercise it. She only does what the political situation wants her to do and does not care about anything else.
Even if MI6 has some records about the Field family, the Queen will not read it, either out of her non-political stance or out of respect for the Field family.
Putting aside her status, the Queen probably knows about the same as the other partners of the Field Group in the UK, and she doesn’t know much about it.
Furthermore, the Queen would never talk to him about this, whether in front of others or behind others.
Haihara Ai sat between the two of them, and turned back to look at them from the front seat. Prince Philip, who was only 6 years old, stared at them with big eyes.
Sallybeth didn't pay attention, and said with a little helplessness in her tone, "My personality is like Mr. Shinosuke."
The young man in front of her has handsome features and a calm expression, which matches the dark blue formal suit he is wearing. No matter what time, a good-looking big boy who knows how to dress always looks comfortable. Yes, she just feels comfortable, and she is not talking about his face.
.
The British shorthair cat rolled around in Chi Feichi's arms, found a comfortable position, and rubbed its head on the back of Chi Feichi's hand, "Meow~"
Chi Fei didn’t respond for a long time.
A cat that is not spiritual enough to express its meaning and allow it to hear the voice should not be petted.
“Meow~” The British shorthair cat acted coquettishly again and rubbed Fei Chi’s hand.
Chi Feichi lowered his eyes and looked coldly.
Shut up and don’t masturbate.
British shorthair cats don’t rub anymore, just lie down.
"Big brother, her name is Xisha," Philip leaned over from the front seat, stretched out his hand to scratch the chin of the cat lying on Chi Feichi's lap, and said to Chi Feichi as if he was introducing his good friend, "This year there will be two...
It’s so old!”
A handsome and cute little boy, coupled with a gentle and ignorant temperament, would not be annoying in any way. However, Sallybeth still frowned and said sternly, "Philip, sit back, you are the crown prince, you must have the crown prince."
Look!"
Philipp retracted his hand and sat upright with some disappointment, "I got it, Mom."
Thalibeth added, "When you get off the car and go outside, remember to call me Your Majesty the Queen."
“I know, Mom!” Philip did not look back, and his tone was much cheerful.
That means that during the period before getting off the car, he can call his mother.
“Mom, the sister brought by eldest brother is so beautiful!” Philip couldn’t help but said, “What’s her name? Can you come to England to play with me in the future?”
Haihara Ai thought about it and decided to give her the Christian name Ikegana gave her, "Your Highness Philip, I will go if I have a chance. My name is Alice."
"Sister, just call me Philip..." Philip paused, "You can call me Philip in private, and you don't need to call me Your Highness. Mom, is that okay?"
“Only in private.” Sallybeth said seriously.
“I know,” Philip was still in a good mood. This was the second time today that his mother did not talk about the rules. “Sister, when can you go to England to play with me?”
Facing the innocent child, Hui Yuan Ai felt very relaxed and thought for a while, "I will go to London when the title is conferred this year."
"You can go to London when you have time in the future," Sallybeth said in a gentle tone, and turned to Chi Feichi with a smile, "Is Alice older than Philip? How old is she this year?"
“Eight years old.” Chi Feichi said.
“I’m 6 years old this year!” Philip still didn’t look back, but he talked a lot, “By the way, big brother, what’s your name?”
“Chi Fei Chi.”
“It’s so special. Why is my sister an English name, but my eldest brother is not?”
“She also has a Japanese name, Haihara Ai.”
“Wow! I want a Japanese name too!”
“Philip!” Sallybeth interrupted with a frown, “You are the Crown Prince of England.”
The atmosphere became tense for a moment.
Philip was silent.
Sallybeth realized that she had caused an awkward moment, and was a little embarrassed. She asked for a topic, "Fei Chi, I will have some free time to visit Tokyo tomorrow. Do you have any recommendations?"
“Zasigu Guizimu Temple.” Chi Feichi said.
“Zoshigaya Ghost Mother Temple?” Sallybeth walked down the steps, and her curiosity was indeed aroused.
Chi Feichi explained, “There is a statue of the devil’s mother enshrined inside, which in Japan is the protector of women and children.”
In Japan, expectant mothers can go to pray for a safe delivery, and mothers can also pray for a safe child.
He remembered that although the Queen of England did not appear in Conan, she did appear in the Kaitou Kidd animation.
Thalibeth seems to be very harsh on Philip, as if she hates her own children, but in fact she cares about her children.
Just because she is a queen, a queen who has been officially succeeded for less than two years, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at her, waiting to judge whether she is good or bad.
So Sallybeth's mentality is somewhat unbalanced. While she is eager to grow up, she is also eager to educate her children well and make the crown prince look like a crown prince.
Shalibei probably guessed the meaning of the statue and smiled, "It can be included in tomorrow's itinerary. If we just stop by, it shouldn't cause any trouble to everyone."
In the following time, Sallybeth briefly talked about her trip to Japan, the cultures of various countries she had seen since her visit, and even about hunting and equestrianism. No matter what, Chi Feichi could answer a few sentences simply and insightfully,
He also mentioned a few words about the country's culture that Sallybeth didn't know about, which made Sallybeth sometimes curious and sometimes laugh, but she always maintained her interest in the conversation.
The conversation was not heated, but gentle and calm, making people relaxed and happy.
It wasn't until the motorcade was about to arrive at the hotel that Shalibei forcibly stopped talking and decided to end the topic. She reached out to Xisha who was lying on Chi Feichi's lap and said, "Okay, Xisha, come to me."
Xisha stood up, looked at Chi Feichi reluctantly, stretched, and jumped into Sallybeth's arms, "Meow~"
Due to the visit of the Queen of England, the hotel closest to the embassy that entertains distinguished guests was vacated. Sally Bess, Chi Feichi, Haihara Ai, the two maids and the driver were all assigned rooms on different floors.
For the rest of the meeting, Chi Feichi and Haiyuan Ai had nothing to do. They stayed in the room to rest and wait for the dinner to start in the evening.
Chi Feichi was not very interested in business bragging. After getting to know the familiar people at the dinner, he went to the corner to drink and observe silently.
That person is right. The people attending this banquet are either rich or noble. It will definitely be useful in the future to collect more information.
Hai Yuan Ai was drinking the juice aside. She was a little uninterested and wanted to yawn. In the end, she held it back and whispered, "This kind of banquet is really boring."
Chi Feichi looked at Suzuki Sonoko, who was following his father in the crowd, "When there is time over there, let her take you out for some fresh air."
It doesn't make sense that he and Haibara Ai ran away at the same time. The family always had to leave a scene to deal with. Suzuki Sonoko could take Haibara Ai for a walk.
“What about you?” Hui Yuan Ai asked.
“I’m fine, just kill some time,” Chi Feichi took out his phone to check the time, “I’ll stay up for another hour and then I can leave.”
Haihara Ai nodded.
That's right, this is "boiling". Thinking about it, it's not as interesting as sitting alone in the laboratory doing experiments.
Within ten minutes, Suzuki Sonoko found an excuse to break away from the business exchange between her elders and others, came up to say hello to Chi Feichi, and happily sneaked out of the banquet hall with Haibara Ai to be lazy.
Chi Feichi was resting in the corner, saying hello to familiar people from time to time, and spending more time watching.
Most of the people here behave politely and maintain politeness and dignity, but the direction of their gaze, the choice of walking direction, whether their body language and expressions match when chatting, etc., can all be used to judge the relationship between these people and the approximate internal and external personality of a person.
.
As for those people who can’t see clearly for a while, just mark it red in your heart, they are all old foxes.
In a short period of time, there were not many people who could make him see things. Most of them were young people. Some old foxes were too good at maintaining superficial harmony. He didn't expect to see anything at a social banquet.
"Big brother……"
Philip took two bodyguards and walked to Chi Feichi in the corner, "Are you in a bad mood?"
"No," Chi Feichi looked for a moment and didn't notice that Sallybeth was coming. He knelt down to talk to Philip, "Where is Her Majesty the Queen?"
Philip looked at the gate and said, "Something seems to have happened at the embassy. She wants to explain the matter before coming in to say hello to everyone."
Chi Feichi nodded, it was little Prince Philip himself who ran in first with his bodyguards.
“Where’s Sister Alice?” Philip looked around and started looking for the little sister he thought was very beautiful.
“A friend of mine took her out to get some fresh air,” Chi Feichi said.
"That's great..." Philip looked regretful, "I can only stay here for ten minutes and wait for my mother... I will leave after Her Majesty the Queen takes me to say hello to everyone."
Seeing that Chi Fei didn't speak for a long time, the chattering little prince didn't stop either.
"Actually, I'm very happy today," Philip leaned close to Chi Feichi's ear and lowered his voice, "because my brother and sister Alice are here, and my mother allows me to call her mother again. Can you come back to London with me?"
“No.” Chi Feichi refused ruthlessly.
Phillip was startled, then lost, "Actually, my mother was very gentle, but she changed after my father passed away. She would only scold me, not to put things on my face, not to run around, and she wouldn't lead me
When I went to play, I had to call her Her Majesty the Queen, and she would be angry if I called her Mom. Even if I cried, she would not comfort me or listen to me. She must not like me anymore, but I promised Dad,
From now on I will protect my mother and my country..."
As he spoke, the six-year-old boy's eyes filled with mist, but he stubbornly held on to prevent tears from flowing out.
【She must not like me anymore...】
Chi Feichi's eyes were gloomy for a moment. He suppressed the memories belonging to the original consciousness that started to flash in his mind, and his eyes regained calmness. "Even if you say so, Alice and I will not go to London with you."
Philipp's tears froze and he looked up blankly at Chi Feichi.
The little prince felt the urge to roar for the first time:
He is not trying to persuade others to follow him!
It’s just... I just suddenly thought of a lot today and wanted to share my thoughts with someone.
