I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1167 - 1070: The Jig Is Up

Those fake... those over-advertised watered-down wines can actually cure a cough? And the effect is so good that Queen Sena wants to meet me, and even wants to place long-term orders?

Walking behind two Internal Affairs Officers on her way to meet the Queen at the palace, Anna felt like she was not doing well at all.

Although she had just asked and understood the situation, knowing that Melanie wasn't entirely talking nonsense, the batch of "fake wine" she concocted overnight was not only harmless but actually has certain health benefits.

But these so-called famous travel starling wines [Mermaid Brew], to put it bluntly, are just some water-wine with damp barrel walls, mixed with the remaining whale fat inside the jar, and shaken with a few drops of mermaid bathwater, yet they actually caught the favor of Queen Morna?

"Melanie!"

Not having much confidence in her heart, worried that her younger sister's extremely unreliable fake famous wine might cause some diplomatic incident and affect the serious business her elder brother and sister Veronica are handling, Anna couldn't help but pull her excited sister aside and ask in a lowered voice:

"Are you sure there's no problem with those wines?"

"Of course there's no problem!"

Her eyes reflected the large eyes of Gold Wheel, the soon-to-be-rich original sinner Big Mei Shen thumped her chest confidently and said:

"Even if you don't believe me, you should at least trust elder brother, right? He drank it and said it tasted good, so my [Mermaid Brew] surely isn't bad!"

"..."

When you put it that way... maybe it is?

Anna has some understanding of Leon's alcohol tolerance and "experience," vaguely knowing that he might have tasted many good wines, so after hearing Melanie's words, she finally relaxed a bit.

With a somewhat tense expression, the young girl, accompanied by her siblings and several guards brought from the ship, walked behind the Internal Affairs Officers through the splendid palace and finally arrived outside a closed door.

"Please enter, Miss Anna."

After opening the door, the older of the two Internal Affairs Officers slightly bent over, smiled, and made a gesture inviting her in.

"Her Majesty Sena is in the Silver Chalice hall, you can go straight in."

"Thank you..."

Not quite used to such formal dialogue from the Internal Affairs Officer, she returned a hurried lady's courtesy, took a deep breath, and then signaled the guards to wait outside in the hallway, before taking her brother and sister by the hand and stepping onto a carpet with Silver Chalice patterns.

What somewhat surprised her was, contrary to the dazzling wealth symbolized by the bright gold exterior of the Morna palace, the interior of the Silver Chalice hall appeared relatively simple.

Though there were many exquisite bas-reliefs on the high dome, the patterns and colors were simple and restrained, and the giant crystal chandelier in the center, though expensive at first glance, was of a simple style with few decorations and not imposing.

The brilliant sunlight reflected off the golden palace exterior, then refracted through the deep brown windows embossed with swirl patterns, shattered by the crystal chandelier's faceted surfaces, made the cherry wood long table in the center of the hall gleam brightly.

A middle-aged woman who appeared to be in her early forties, bearing two or three points of resemblance to Veronica in her features, was seated in an armchair at the end of the long table, smiling as she looked over at her.

"Greetings..."

"Miss Anna, welcome to the Kingdom of Morna." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Speaking before Anna, expressing goodwill, the middle-aged woman wearing a golden crown smiled and gestured to an intentionally vacant spot on her left.

"Please sit down and talk... By the way, how long will it take for Lord Leon and Your Majesty Veronica's matters to be finished?"

"?!"

Listening to Morna queen's frank opening, not only was Anna startled, wanting to conceal her identity, but even Big Mei Shen was shocked, hurriedly turning to look at William beside her.

Oh no! We've been exposed!

Exposed long ago! Otherwise, how could the royal family's purchaser possibly buy unknown wine for the queen to drink?

Completely unsurprised, big brother William did not bother with his foolish sister and instead gently squeezed Anna's hand, signaling her not to worry, and then raised his little face to look at the middle-aged queen, calmly replying:

"Your Majesty Sena, elder brother and they originally wanted to visit you directly when the ship docked, but while navigating according to the sea chart your country provided, there was a slight accident, causing us to speed up temporarily, arriving at Golden Fiber Port half a day early.

In order not to disrupt your schedule, and discovering some circumstances that might affect The Twelve Kingdoms gathering, elder brother thought he'd best handle it first, thus delaying visiting you, hoping you won't mind."

"No need to apologize."

After listening to William's clear and composed reply, Morna queen couldn't help but be amazed, then smiled and nodded:

"I heard Lord Leon has a younger brother who is mature and insightful far beyond his years, I thought the rumors might be exaggerated, but they turned out to be conservative... Miss Anna, you have a good brother."

"You flatter him."

Having William capture the first round of "offensive," Anna, initially shocked by her identity being exposed, quickly responded, clenching her slightly sweaty palm, actively pulling William and Melanie to sit, and smilingly said:

"William is just bolder than most children, less likely to be stage-frightened; he isn't as excellent as you praised."

"No no no, he is not just bold."

Whether intentionally flattering or genuinely interested in William, watching him sit with his back straight like a small adult, Morna queen couldn't help but continue with admiration:

"Though what he just said wasn't difficult, any mature diplomat could say it, facing my sudden 'attack,' his response was incredibly swift.

Not only clearly explaining the situation, but also expressing an attitude of no intentional concealment, he hid important information completely, without revealing any extra intelligence, which is very rare."

"Well... sorry."

"No, it's fine, it's me who should apologize."

Waving her hand dismissively, Morna queen laughed and said:

"Honestly, I was a bit curious about Lord Leon and their whereabouts, so I intentionally had the Internal Affairs Officer invite you over to see if I could coax some information.

But this child didn't fall into the trap at all; he's clearer than many adults, replying to my remarks effortlessly that the information I obtained remains the same as before, really delightful... Oh Miss Anna."

Saying this, Morna queen seemed to remember something, held Anna's arm with a full smile, saying:

"I just happen to have a niece about this child's age; shall we take this opportunity for a family alliance?"
