"Nothing is deserved."
"We had previously waged war against them, and the fact that they are here as guests already demonstrates their friendliness and tolerance. Isn't that enough?"
"Are you still thinking of taking it by force?!"
Eddington also scolded him, and James, sweating profusely, hurriedly said, "No, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand, I had no such thought."
Isabella, unusually, showed anger and said unhappily, "You'd better not have that idea!"
"Otherwise, you're just an ignorant and foolish idiot."
James looked embarrassed and apologized repeatedly.
Isabella said coldly, "James, watch your words and actions."
"Be even more careful after returning to China!"
"Otherwise, people will just think that you, as my chief guard, are behaving stupidly, which would make me very embarrassed."
“Yes, Your Majesty!” James said, looking embarrassed.
Isabella snorted coldly, turned around with a displeased expression, and went straight back to her cabin.
After watching her disembark, James took off his hat in annoyance and muttered to himself:
"Your Majesty, is it really necessary to be so angry? Am I wrong?"
Before he could finish speaking, Eddington's face darkened: "James, have you already forgotten what His Majesty just said?"
James sighed. "I understand, Eddington."
"But when I think about that banquet that night, His Majesty specifically sought out the Emperor of Yan for talks."
"We talked about it for almost the whole night, but I didn't get any promises from the Emperor of Yan, which made me very unhappy."
"His Majesty has clearly shown enough sincerity, yet he remains unmoved..."
Hearing this, Eddington's expression softened slightly, and he comforted her:
"Look on the bright side, James."
“We used to be enemies. Now, although we can’t say we’ve built a friendship, things have at least improved a lot.”
"Furthermore, I must point out that the Emperor of Yan Kingdom did return the favor to Her Majesty the Queen before his departure."
James was taken aback: "Huh? Was there a return gift? How come I didn't know?"
Eddington said calmly, "Because it was a gift given specifically to Her Majesty the Queen, not a national gift."
"But I think as long as our two countries do not have a conflict and have more exchanges, we should still be able to achieve a breakthrough in diplomatic relations in the future."
James asked curiously, "What gift?"
“It’s in a box,” Eddington replied casually, taking off his hat and shaking it.
"What exactly is it?" James pressed.
"His Majesty didn't take it out, but said it was very exquisite and valuable, and she was very happy." Eddington couldn't help but smile faintly as he thought of Isabella's happy expression when she returned that day.
Although Isabella is Her Majesty the Queen.
But in his heart, Eddington always regarded the queen he had watched grow up as his daughter.
That's why Eddington was always happy to see her happy.
"What... is that?" James, brimming with curiosity, muttered to himself, resting his chin on his hand.
Eddington pulled up his hat and headed toward the cabin, saying, "Whatever it is, this trip has been a pleasant exchange for us."
"As for Her Majesty the Queen, I think she's already planning her next visit, haha."
