Chapter 839: Children One After Another?
After Prince Philip bowed, he walked calmly to behind Sally Bess with a composed face.
It was in line with protocol. Next, Your Majesty (Queen) should have led the Crown Prince to greet the people present. However, the little prince noticed his Mother's lack of response and felt uneasy.
Sally Bess glanced at Chi Feichei, then looked away. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to mention Philip's sneaking off in this setting. Seeing others looking over, she said to Philip, "Come with me to greet everyone."
No need to ask, Philip acting like this must have been taught by Brother Chi.
Philip nodded, "I understand, Your Majesty (Queen)."
Sally Bess suddenly felt a pang in her heart. Although he should formally call her Your Majesty (Queen), she just felt that her son doing so made her feel awkward. She steadied her mind and led Philip towards the Front Desk.
After a symbolic greeting, Sally Bess received greetings from A Group of People. She didn't linger and left with Philip.
Suzuki Sonoko and Haibara Ai snuck in shortly after the Queen entered. Once Sally Bess and her group left, Suzuki Sonoko started chattering to Chi Feichei about the Story Sally Bess had told earlier.
It was nothing more than Emperor Henry being an excellent person, and Emperor Henry and Sally Bess having fallen in love at first sight.
After saying that, Suzuki Sonoko belatedly became concerned, "Brother Hichiji, do these count as Secret? But Your Majesty (Queen) didn't seem to instruct us not to tell others..."
"No," Chi Feichei said calmly.
Henry's talent was no Secret among the British Royal Family, High Official, wealthy businessmen, and Nobility. Some had even personally experienced it. As For love at first sight, that was even more common knowledge.
He had even heard more than Suzuki Sonoko. For Example, that deceased Majesty was a gentle and handsome person. And For Example, Henry's Parents Relationship was Subtle, and their marriage Seemingly had Problem...
Real Secret that cannot be told to outsiders, Your Majesty (Queen) would not tell anyone.
"It's good that it's not..." Suzuki Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief and perked up again. "Then I'll tell Ran another day. By the Way, Brother Hichiji, I brought back two bottles of Liquor from Germany. I gave one to Ran during the day for her muddle-headed Old Dad. The other bottle is a Gift for you. When we go out later, I'll have the Driver get it for you."
"Thank you."
"Uh, you're welcome..."
...Parking Lot Outside the Banquet Hall Building.
Sally Bess got into the Car and saw that besides the driving Private Secretary, there was no one else. Then she looked at Philip, who was sitting Beside her, "Philip, you Should have waited for me tonight, and then we could have entered the Banquet Hall together to greet everyone. You shouldn't have gone in alone. What if you had encountered someone with ulterior motives?"
Philip felt a bit nervous in his Heart, but he firmly remembered Chi Feichei's Words. Recalling Sally Bess's previous instructions and his Father's attitude and Education, he seriously Apology, "I'm sorry for making you worry. I will pay attention in the future and won't be rash again."
Right, his Father had said that if you are wrong, you should admit it and apologize.
Sally Bess: "..."
She wanted to say, 'Don't be like this, Mom is scared'...
"Please rest assured, I will always stand Beside you," Philip said seriously with his small Face.
Sally Bess raised her Hand and rubbed her brow, "What did he say to you?"
Philip thought about it. Since Brother Chi didn't say he couldn't tell his Mama, then he could tell her. "I told him that Mama Seemingly hated me. He said no, it's Just Because Father's Death. You need to be a good Queen and make me an excellent Crown Prince. That way, it would be worthy of Father, Just Like I promised Father to Protection Mama and my country. I also want to make an Effort to do it, so it would be worthy of him. So Mama cannot be sad, you have to work very hard, and also be very strict with me..."
Sally Bess was Silent, quietly listening to Philip speaking his Idea in a serious and firm Tone. She even forgot to pay attention to Philip's Appellation.
"I will stand with Mama on the Battlefield. It's a Battlefield without Gunsmoke and Blood, but as Queen and Crown Prince, we must stand firm. If we don't do well, Mama will be laughed at, the country will be laughed at, and the Subjects will not be able to hold their Heads up," Philip said, using his own Understand. "Also, 'If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight.' Just Say, as Crown Prince, you Should bear the weight of Responsibility, right? I will make an Effort."
Sally Bess couldn't help but raise her Hand and touch Philip's Hair. She Seemingly always thought that her Child still didn't Understand, and it wasn't Time to Communicate about Responsibility. She only wanted to be strict, thinking that when Philip grew up, he would Understand her good intentions. Now it seemed that she Should have talked to her Child properly earlier. "And then?"
"I also have a Matter I want to Discuss with you..." Philip leaned closer to Sally Bess's ear and said in a low voice, "What you Said, I will seriously remember and do. But please, every once in a while, take out one Hour, just the two of us. You don't act as Queen, and don't do what Father Should do. Just be my Mother. As the Crown Prince's Mother, you need to fulfill your Responsibility as a Mother."
Sally Bess: "..."
Reason was a Sure Kill, this was very effective!
Philip was thinking about the wording he Should use, and he looked seriously at Sally Bess, "What do you think?"
Sally Bess endured her Subtle Mood again, "Okay... Did he also tell you these things? What else? The Matter of you seeing me Come Over and Bowing when I entered the Door, was that also taught by him?"
"Uh-huh!" Philip saw that Sally Bess agreed and laughed. Brother Chi Indeed didn't cheat him. "He Said that once you're on the Battlefield, don't retreat. No Matter when, the Crown Prince cannot panic. Moreover, he Said I'm not a Child anymore, but a Man who is willing to stand with his Mother to face the Wind and Rain!"
"He... is right," Sally Bess saw Philip laughing happily, but still couldn't help but warn him, "But, although I agreed to you, if you don't Study well, our one Hour of Getting Along Time will be postponed."
Philip quickly restrained his smile, "I understand."
Sally Bess thought for a moment, "Philip, I also want to Discuss a Matter with you..."
...The Next Day's Itinerary was just for the big Team to stroll around everywhere.
Haibara Ai once again experienced what it meant to be either changing Clothes or on the Road to change Clothes. But seeing that Sally Bess and Others People were all the Same, there was nothing more to Think about.
June 7th, four o'clock in the Afternoon, the Luxury Train Royal Express departed from Tokyo.
Chi Feichei gave the remaining Ticket to Da Shan Mi.
Da Shan Mi was both a Shinchi Group High Official and his personal Butler and nanny. It was really not easy. Consider it as giving Da Shan Mi a paid leave, and also giving him a free Luxury Train Travel as a reward.
The Queen's entourage big Team occupied half of the Carriage. The remaining were Tickets given out internally, which were closer to the Carriage where the Queen was. After that were the Carriage with normally sold Tickets.
Not long after the Train departed, Sally Bess had a Servant Call Chi Feichei and Haibara Ai to go to the Salon Car for Afternoon Tea.
In the Carriage, there were only Bodyguard, Diplomat, and Train Police, distributed in various places in the Carriage, not staying in Sally Bess's Vicinity.
The Queen, without So Many people staring at her, changed into more Relaxation Clothes. The Atmosphere was obviously much more relaxed.
"Let Brother Hichiji be Prince Philip's Godfather?" Haibara Ai was a little surprised.
Her Brother Hichiji is only 20 years old. Why are Children coming one after another?
"Yes," Sally Bess Looked Towards Chi Feichei, "Although when Philip was Birth, we had already selected three Godfather and three Godmother from Royal Family Member and Friends from when Emperor Henry and I were in School, and they performed Baptism for him after his Birth. But I Hope you can become his fourth Godfather. As Long As I speak up, it can still be accepted. If you are willing, I will announce This Matter at Next Year's Nobility Title confer Ceremony."
Chi Feichei: "I refuse."
Sally Bess: "..."
Was, was refused?
Philip, who was Just eagerly anticipating: "..."
Was refused...
Haibara Ai: "..."
He Actually refused. This is very Brother Hissashi.
"Why?" Philip couldn't help but Ask.
Sally Bess thought for a moment, "If you don't want to be stared at and measured on how well you do, I can also not announce it to the outside world. I don't want you to give Philip Religious Belief Education, but to guide him to become a qualified Crown Prince."
Haibara Ai paused A Bit with the Hand that picked up the Teacup and Looked at Chi Feichei.
Let Brother Hichiji teach the Prince how to be a Crown Prince?
Thinking about Emperor Henry that Your Majesty (Queen) mentioned last night, why did she feel something was off?
Your Majesty (Queen)'s Invitation was very sincere, and Chi Feichei also Said the truth, "It's not Because I worry about being evaluated by the world, at least not only that. I have a Godson, and I will only have Noah as one Godson."
When Parents face two Children, no matter how balanced their Attitude is, there will always be times of Deviation. Not to mention that Present Sawada Hiroki has already become a Network Lifeform. When he holds Philip to See the Street scene, will Sawada Hiroki's Heart become imbalanced?
He didn't want to try. That Child who regarded him as Faith was very sensitive. Since jumping off the building, he had also become a A Bit tougher and more stubborn, but he very much agreed with and admired it.
Godson, he only needs Sawada Hiroki as one Godson.
Furthermore, he is also not Suitable to be Philip's Godfather.
He had to admit that he had Ambition and was also stubborn.
England, as a Constitutional Monarchy country, the monarch maintains the Present state, acting as the people's Mental State pillar and not getting involved in politics. This is beneficial for Development. But for Children whose Worldview is still unstable, the Adults Beside them who are worthy of Trust are the objects of Study and imitation. It's possible to teach out an Extreme element who wants to restore the imperial system. Even If he doesn't teach in that direction, it doesn't mean that Philip's Personality won't run off course.
If she knew about Sawada Hiroki's Transformation before and after, Guess Sally Bess would regret it and want to withdraw her proposed Proposal.
"Noah?" Philip looked at Sally Bess with Doubt.
"He is Hissashi's Godson, But he is already Death," Sally Bess explained to Philip, and then said to Chi Feichei, "I've heard about that Child. He was an excellent Genius and also a Child who is regrettable. Since you miss him in your Heart, then I won't mention the Matter of letting you be Philip's Godfather again. But I welcome you to change your Idea at any Time, or... how about being Philip's Teacher first? Although he will go to School later, he can also have a Teacher to cultivate his other Hobbies."
She had been seriously Considering This Matter all Day yesterday.
As a Female, no matter how strict she is, she cannot completely compensate for a Child's Need for a Father figure during Growth. As Philip grows up, she, as a Mother, will always have some Problems that she cannot talk about with her Son. At least, it's not as convenient as Male Communication. So she then Considered letting Chi Feichei be Philip's Godfather.
Philip indeed already has three Godfather. But those three people, usually, apart from greetings and Daily Routine concern, no one discovered Philip's Worries. Perhaps they had discovered them, or perhaps Philip had Said something, but those three people would not be as bold as Chi Feichei, actually gesticulating about the Crown Prince's Growth.
Precisely, what Philip Real needs is a Male elder who can point out his Wrongdoings, can be Trusted and confided in with Worries like a Father, and can guide his Child to become a qualified monarch, not someone who only cares about Philip's Birthday, achievements, Religious Belief, and whether his Behavior passes muster.
From Contacting him, Chi Feichei has a good Face and knows how to dress... cough, she's not a Face dog. It's Just that she can't possibly select someone who doesn't even Understand Britain dress Rules to be Philip's Godfather. His personal Appearance definitely needs to be upright and good-looking. Handsome is naturally the best.
Moreover, Chi Feichei's Personality is calm and composed. Although she didn't confuse Chi Feichei with her own Husband as one person – they are two Difference people, and her Husband is irreplaceable – she inevitably holds an admiring Attitude towards this kind of person.
The Key is that Philip will listen to Chi Feichei's Words. Those Words that Chi Feichei said to Philip that Night, the 'solve Method' he pointed out for Philip 'entering the Banquet Hall alone', and the Entry Point he found for 'talking to her for one Hour as mother and son', and his guidance to Philip – she very much admired and also somewhat admired.
To Solve a Problem, he uses one move to accurately grasp the vital point and Sure Kill, catching her unprepared, and twice at that. She Thinks Philip needs such a Godfather.
After the Nobility Title confer Ceremony, Chi Feichei will be the Earl's first Heir and will have the title of Lord. Adding to that the Field Group's Impact in Britain, letting Chi Feichei become Philip's fourth Godfather when Philip is six years old, no one will oppose it.
