Section 11
Her Majesty the Queen of Sardinia has clear arrangements for daily itineraries, either meeting foreign guests, visiting orphanages, or regular meetings from the Prime Minister or Minister... In short, there are endless things to do every day, but from 3:00 to 5:00 every afternoon, this is the queen's afternoon tea time, which is unstoppable and is usually shared with Mrs. Langbar. However, sometimes it will give some people the opportunity to meet the queen - the queen likes to listen to the daily trivial matters belonging to the people at this time.
However, the sunroom that Alexander once shared with the Queen has been sealed. Like Came Sallieri and other people, the place where they meet the Queen was arranged in the side hall of the Sardinian Palace, where there is plenty of sunshine and spacious space, which is also a very good place - Came Sallieri and the Queen are sitting in front of the window, while Madame Lambal sat about a dozen steps away from them, as if reading a novel that is very interesting.
"I know your purpose, Kame Salieri." The queen said calmly: "Anyway, first of all, I need to thank you for your care for Xiao Feilipur over the past decade, oh... sorry, it should be Alexander... This is a very good name, a name belonging to the king, which is very suitable for him."
"But when the Virgin testified, I absolutely had no idea when I gave him this name." Came Salieri pursed his lips stubbornly: "I just hope he can grow up happily and safely."
"But the Salilei family doesn't seem to guarantee this." The Queen's rebuttal made Came Salilei straighten her waist reflexively. She even looked at the most noble woman of Sardinia with a little rude. Her anger made her shiver fingers involuntarily: "Maybe that's the case..." She whispered: "But you have left him in Western Sardinia for twenty-eight years. You have never asked or seen him, why don't you continue? Just think that my confused old man has never done anything, said nothing, and you have never seen Alex..."
The queen was silent for a moment, put down the teacup in her hand, and one or two drops of golden tea in the round glass jumped up. The splashes that splashed when they fell looked like a small crown, "Camé Salieri." She looked into the eyes of the other party and said, "I think when He Sai Salieri gave the child to you for care, she did not say how the child was delivered to him."
"My husband and I haven't even met before we got married." The Queen continued: "But he is a good person. He gave up his status as a prince for me (Note: Due to frequent intermarriages between the royal families, royal members are likely to have titles and positions in other countries, but those who marry the king or the queen must swear to give up their status as a royal family to avoid inheritance disputes), and his post in the army - he cannot comment on any political incidents, have no career or income of his own, and even every time he travels, he must be two steps behind me, which is something that many Sardinian men cannot bear." The Queen smiled: "I have prepared to accept his complaints and even neglect his thoughts."
Preparation, but he always treats me very gentle, polite and loyal - so it is understandable that I fall in love with him, especially after having a child, we are excited for this new life, full of longing and yearning for the future life - and then, one night, under the cover of Mrs. Langbar, I escaped from the royal dance in advance, walked directly from the corridor dedicated to the royal family members to my husband's room, ready to surprise him. That day was the third anniversary of our first meeting, but I pushed open the door and saw my husband's blood-stained body lying on the cradle of the child, and a man was holding a pistol in one hand and touching his carotid artery with the other hand, confirming his death."
Carme suddenly covered his mouth so that he would not scream.
"Yes, it's not a terrorist who's alive. The one who killed my husband is your husband, Hosai Salieri." The queen said coldly: "Although the Agnelli family is always secretive about the knife in their hands, I can still get the latest photos of every member of the Salieri family - I ordered him to take my child away - your husband did as he did, he is such a smart man." The slightly sarcastic sarcasm made Came shudder unconsciously, "I know that the Agnelli family is like crazy and want to add their surnames to the royal family genealogy, but before that day I was too naive. They had killed a king, so what's the point of killing another queen's husband? - Since the child's father is dead, this child with the first inheritance right will never survive...
We must attend various meetings, attend various activities, meet foreign guests, visit abroad... I cannot be watching my child every minute, and a baby is too likely to die." She gently stroked her wrist, as if there was the blood of her husband and the temperature of the baby: "After learning that the child was missing, the Agnelli family almost cast a net to search for the person who might have accepted my order and escaped with the future king, but they still found nothing until the end. You see, my idea is right. Those who can quietly walk in from the many guards arranged by Agnelli can of course go out quietly. They even remembered more than a year later what Sallyery might have hidden from them - but they couldn't find anything from Sallyery. I think you should be very clear about what happened afterwards."
Carme couldn't say anything. Yes, she even suspected that this child was He Sai's illegitimate child - but no matter what, she didn't expect - no wonder, when he heard the news of Alix missing in the Triangle Sea, the old man who always had a hint of indifference and alienation to Alix would be more excited than himself. This was just because Alix's true identity... just because he is the amulet of the Salieri family? No... He is my child, my child, my child!
She let out a long cry in her heart. If the people around her could hear it, they would think that someone's chest was torn apart alive.
"Camé...I think I can call you that. For the sake of the child we love - I admit that you love him. Otherwise you will not sit here against the will of Hosai Salieri. It is the land. For twenty-eight years, I have been patient and not going to see him. I have even thought about it. Let him live as Salieri. Stay away from the palace and away from the capital - but... you should understand why I want him to come back. The Sallyeri family has no way to protect him now." The Queen held Came Salieri's hand and leaned forward slightly. The two female fingers were cold and stiff. "He must exist in the world as the crown prince and even the king."

Mrs. Longbal kept paying attention to the Queen's conversation with Madame Sallyeri. Although she could not hear them, she could still infer from Madame Sallyeri's expression. She was like the Queen. She did not have any favors at all - but in the end she raised Alexander and their crown prince.
Even Mrs. Langbar has to admit that Alexander is a more suitable name for the king than Tippelpur.
"Madam Langbar, please help me get the box on the bookshelf." The queen ordered as the conversation came to an end.
She bowed respectfully and took the half-palm velvet box from the bookshelf on one side. The things in it were after she and the Queen met Alexander. After she and the Queen met Alexander, they asked the royal jeweler to find the place to come - the Alexander stone once belonged to the Grand Duke of Alexander in the Duchy of Dongca. In the 15th century, Alexander was a model of an ideal monarch. He was strong, cautious, fair and honest, brave and full of wisdom. He loved the people and was sympathetic to his subordinates. Even his enemies had to admit that he was a nearly perfect person - I have to say that this was their common hope.
"Please bring this to Alex," said the Queen: "as a gift for both mothers."
Carme Sallieri was a little panicked and ashamed. She was confidently condemning an irresponsible mother. How could she think of facing a woman who was first taken away by the Sallieri family and her son? But she couldn't think of anything for a moment, so she had to pursed her lips vigorously.
"Please do as I say," the queen said. "The more people who can love Alex, the better - I always think so."
She put the elegant and exquisite velvet box into Carme Salieri's hands.

Mrs. Langbar sent away the nervous Came Salieri. When she returned to the side hall, she found that the queen was still sitting in the old position. The sun was already slanting westward. A part of the orange-red light shone directly on the queen's face through the glass. Mrs. Langbar quickly pulled up the curtains on the other side so that the sharp light would not make the queen feel dizzy.
"Madame Longbal." said the queen who returned to the shadow: "I hope you don't get mad at me for my decision."
Mrs. Rombal stopped what she had done, walked to the queen, and then bowed her knees deeply, but she still raised her head and did not reveal her neck to the sight of the noble woman as usual: "Your Majesty. I believe that everything you do is for Sardinia." She said firmly.
"Salieri killed not only my husband, but your cousin."
"Even so, the blessings they have made have exceeded the sins they committed." Lady Langbar looked up at the queen, and placed her hands on her noble knees, as they did when they were young: "Although they were hidden deep in the mud, the gem still did not lose its glory--the crown prince is more elegant, kind and brave than I thought, and he will be a good king, I promise."
"It is my greatest comfort to be able to get your understanding, my friend," said the Queen, "But there are so many things that Alex has to learn, and we have to do a lot of things for him. - Mrs. Langbar, I remember that your son Feli seems to be four years older than Alex and obtained a doctorate in law from Western Federal University's School of Law seven years ago, right?"
"Yes, for this you also gave him a Libra brooch to congratulate him."
"It's a celebration." The Queen corrected, "We are relatives, please don't forget this. You see, I hope there is a person, a noble family, proficient, cautious, knowledgeable elderly person who can be with Alexander and teach him what he should know-I think Feli would be a good friend and teacher, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Langbar opened her eyes wide and then covered her chest: "You mean it's hard? Oh...yes, I'm glad to be helpful to you, of course, of course, I think it's good."
The crown prince's instructor - although Alexander is no longer a child, no matter what, a person who can make a future king obey his opinions will surely make a fortune in the future. At the same time, it is also a good way to maintain a close relationship with the royal family - second only to marrying his daughter to a member of the royal family.
"Okay, then, maybe we still need to listen to Fei Li's own opinions?"
"He will feel extremely honored!" Mrs. Longbal said firmly, squeezing her hands with joy.
***
"Sorry... disturbed, Your Majesty, Mrs. Longbal."
Just as Mrs. Rombal was about to discuss the relevant matters with the Queen, the man in black knocked on the door politely. After being allowed, he walked in, bowed deeply, and submitted to Mrs. Rombal the text of Prime Minister Agnelli's request to meet the Queen.
"Today is not the day when the Prime Minister regularly meets the Queen." Mrs. Langbar instantly restrained her joyful appearance and said coldly.
"The Prime Minister is very persistent."
The queen raised her hand gently to prevent Mrs. Lombard from her second rejection, "Prince Agnelli rarely follows the rules like this," the queen said, "Please let him in, I believe it will be very important."
