Chapter 424 Diana’s audience
Lance Loren is not a god.
He had a rough life. He was abandoned by his biological parents and grew up in an orphanage. He thought Hogwarts could bring him a new life, but it brought him deeper suffering.
He had long looked at the glory of His Majesty Edward from afar, and did not dare to expect the light to shine.
But now, he is saved by the Crown Prince and can finally walk on the bright road. However, His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be cursed and suffers heartache one after another.
Lance couldn't help but think that this was the suffering he had brought to His Highness.
He couldn't help but guess that his luck was obtained at the expense of His Highness's suffering.
The guilt that he dared not speak grew in his heart, and it instantly took hold of his mind like weeds, suppressing the delusion of becoming the person closest to His Highness.
...If this is really the case, how can he, Lance Loren, be worthy of Xiao Xiang?
He could only put himself in the position of knight commander to stabilize the current situation for His Highness.
Now, he was half-kneeling in front of His Highness, looking into those sea-blue eyes that were no longer smiling, and softly reported the buried layout with a hint of bitterness and guilt.
"Your Highness, I have notified the officials in the Ministry of Magic who have been bribed or controlled by us, notified the media and newspapers acquired or invested, so that they can prepare.
"As soon as you decide on the action plan, we can immediately seize the public opinion and initiative in the wizarding world."
Allen nodded slightly, with a hint of fatigue that had never been shown in front of outsiders, and responded, "Okay."
Lance was slightly relieved.
Compared to the last time, His Highness was not despairing this time, and he was already thankful to God.
He showed a gentle smile and asked, "Your Highness, what would you like to eat for lunch?"
Allen said softly, "Whatever."
He put the milk glass in his hand aside and said softly, "Lance, what are the actions of the Ministry of Magic in various countries?"
Lance paused and said bravely, "Europe is dominated by Germany and France, and other small countries are relatively peaceful.
"There is not much movement from the German Ministry of Magic. There are some rumors that Grindelwald is involved, but nothing is confirmed yet;
"The French Ministry of Magic is excited and everyone is watching the joke of the British wizarding community..."
Allen sneered, "I'm afraid he's also laughing at us."
He exhaled with a cold face and ordered, "I need you to check the French government's movements. If nothing else happens, their diplomatic team will attack us in the near future, and they will also pay a visit to His Majesty by name."
"We can only arrange a 'car accident' as soon as possible to stabilize the situation in the Muggle world first!"
Lance said firmly, "Don't worry, Your Highness!"
He is just a knight captain in the wizarding world and has no status in Muggle politics. Hearing this, he could only accompany His Highness quietly.
He knew that His Highness needed a listener.
Your Highness needs a tree hole with a strict mouth!
Allen raised his hand and rubbed his head, frowning unconsciously.
He endured the continuous headache and racked his brains to think of anything he had missed, and added, "Call Diana and remember to remind me to meet with the Prime Minister at four o'clock in the afternoon. Be careful of Lucius Malfoy fishing in troubled waters these days.
"As for the Ministry of Magic—"
Those sea-blue eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a low voice biting the ice shavings,
"It's time to change the minister."
Lance quickly answered, "Then I will have people screen candidates suitable to succeed the Minister of Magic and give you the list as soon as possible."
Allen nodded and reminded, "Give it to me within a month, and at the same time build momentum to remove Fudge - be careful with Dumbledore, and do it reasonably."
"Your Highness, please rest assured."
Lance said softly, "Fudge has many political enemies. Within three days, I can get them to attack the minister."
He raised his eyes to look at the depressed crown prince, his light purple eyes seemed to be shining.
After a while, he showed a gentle smile and asked, "Your Highness, Butler Fran is going to rest. Should you choose a place for him?"
This seemed to remind Allen.
He paused, and his frown slightly relaxed.
After a while, he chose a place and said, "St. George's Church."
Those dim sea-blue eyes glanced at Lance, and seeing the other person showing some doubts, he explained,
"Perhaps you don't know that there is a church in the west end of Windsor Castle. Since the last century, His Majesty Edward III has selected it as the resting place for members of the royal family."
He gently twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "My grandparents... and my mother are also lying there."
Allen thought for a while and added, "In the past, every February, my father would take me to St. George's Church to visit my grandparents and mother."
He smiled with a hint of regret,
"Grandpa Butler grew up with his grandfather. He should be willing to sleep with the kings of all generations and continue to accompany his grandfather."
Lance gently held his hand and said softly, "Yes, Your Highness, Butler Fran must be proud of this! He was loyal and upright throughout his life. After being buried in the church, he will definitely return to God."
These words made Allen couldn't help but smile.
The smile on his lips seemed to be recognition, but also seemed to be a little mocking.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
He left the knight commander behind and had a simple meal with Tris.
This seems to go against the rules of royal dining, but fortunately, neither Lance nor Tris is as stubborn as Butler Fran.
Of course, Tris refused.
It was just that Allen pressed the button on the grounds that "you are a staff member I value very much."
The butler cannot sit down, but the staff can.
After a while, Diana also arrived.
She could have come earlier, but Lance left all the work at hand to her and ran to the palace first.
Diana was worried about Allen, but she couldn't give up her choice, so she had to let Lance comfort His Highness first, while she worked hard to speed up the process.
Besides, the Knights outside the school are all young wizards of Muggle origin.
They naturally love the king and the crown prince, not to mention being deeply favored by the crown prince. When they heard about the accident at Hogwarts, they were all excited.
Diana seriously doubted that if she had not held them down, this group of people would have formed an army and were preparing to attack Hogwarts.
Fortunately, these guys are relatively easy to manage.
Diana thought so.
——Her title of "almost became the Crown Princess" is particularly useful.
In order to prevent these guys from "acting against the will", she assigned them a lot of tasks. The time was tight and the tasks were heavy. She didn't believe that these people could still cause trouble for her after she was gone for an afternoon.
No matter what, it's settled here.
Afterwards, Diana apparated back to her private home, followed the instructions from the contact badge, and duly handed the greeting card to the palace.
She put her hair up and put on light makeup, sat in the Rolls-Royce Phantom that followed her to promote education reform and symbolized Baroness Sharp, and took the driver with her to go to Windsor Castle to meet the king with great fanfare.
The cold young woman was wrapped in a camel coat, and her hands in white velvet gloves were clasped tightly, reflecting the true mood behind her calm face.
She once again entered the realm of the palace.
Diana clenched her fists gently and warned herself to behave as usual.
