C2232 The End of the Meeting (1/2)
The spectacular blacksmithing performance continued, and the molten liquid in the air bloomed. Young William and George Jr clapped excitedly, and many guests also watched with undiminished interest.
But those were the envoys of small European countries that were not very interested in politics, or very marginal, and whose national strategies were still neutral and self-protective. No one wanted to get involved in the struggles of these great powers.
Eat whatever you want, play whatever you want. They didn't care about the exchange between the Führer and the Prime Minister.
But the rest of the guests, especially those caught in the vortex of the European power struggle, no longer had the interest to play. It was already 11: 30 in the morning by the time they checked their pocket watches, and the banquet was finally over.
Benjamin's group was the first to leave the seats, and even walked in front of the Queen. One could see the anger in his heart, Montaubon and the others followed closely behind, not even bothering to greet Xiao Letian as they left.
Looking at Benjamin's leaving figure, the Queen stood up, and with the support of the Crown Prince, she walked to Xiao Letian's side and politely said, ”Tonight is really an unforgettable day in my life. The delicacies and beautiful scenery have made it so hard for me to forget about it, especially …”
At this point, the Queen suddenly paused, ”Especially that statue, it is indeed a great gift, and I would like to personally express my gratitude to the Führer … I hope, of course, that the Führer and our Cabinet will have a successful negotiation, and may God bless you! ”
After saying that, the Queen let her servants carry the huge jade sculpture away from the Eastern Palace. Xiao Letian watched the Queen leave from the entrance with a myriad of emotions in his heart.
”I never thought that I would go to so much trouble, but in the end I was unable to get any substantial support from the Queen. It seems that all the arrangements can only ensure that the Queen won't interfere, and will only be exchanged for a neutral.” ”This transaction feels a little unfair …”
Just as they were talking, the special envoy of Prussia, Jonas walked over. He passionately shook Xiao Letian's hands and hugged him, and when they were hugging, he leaned close to Xiao Letian and whispered into her ear: ”Don't worry, the Crown Prince and I had a private chat just now. He is very grateful to you personally, in the future, when the time is right, he will repay you for your good intentions!”
Done! Xiao Letian's hands tensed up in joy, making Jonas frown: ”Accounting, the Crown Prince didn't promise anything, you better not think of harming the interests of Britain, his assistance is only provided under the condition that it does not harm the interests of the United Kingdom, you must remember it!”
”Yes, I understand. To be able to receive a kind response, this is already the beginning of success, don't you think?” They smiled at each other and shook hands.
When the guests from the Eastern Palace started leaving one after another, the Young William was still very unwilling to leave. He did not see enough blacksmiths at all, and only after knowing that Xiao Letian had promised to perform specially for him in the hamburger and Berlin for two more rounds did the future Demon Emperor become happy.
One guest after another said their goodbyes to the owner, until Princess Cissie's appearance appeared in front of Xiao Letian. The Eastern leader's expression suddenly became awkward.
”Mm …” ”Today, I still have to thank the esteemed empress for helping me out. I really don't know how to thank you …”
Without waiting for Xiao Letian to finish speaking, the Princess Cissie suddenly opened her mouth and said, ”Give me the secret recipe as my gratitude … Otherwise, I will once again exert my influence on the Queen, and disrupt all of your plans! ”
”Huh?” Xiao Letian did not expect the Princess Cissie to say such a thing, wasn't this pure blackmail? So the reason why he helped me was to extort from me in the future?
How could this be? No matter what, you are the Queen of Austro-Hungarian Empire, are you that ugly to eat?
