Chapter 484 Queen Isabelle's Attention, Agreement on Cooperation, and Reconciliation Between Mother and Son
Although Philip was young, he was very clever and had prepared a photo of the castle in the country well in advance.

Upon seeing the photos, Ono Takeshi couldn't help but show a look of surprise, realizing that it really was a perfect filming location for Hogwarts.

This is a very large castle, located on the mountainside about a hundred meters high, with a sizable lake at its bottom.

The surrounding area is a vast forest and meadow, quite similar to Hogwarts as described in the book.

The original Hogwarts was filmed at Aaronwick Castle, a small town near Edinburgh.

Built in the 18th century, it is the second largest inhabited castle in England.

Takeshi Ono originally intended to use this castle as a filming location, since it was a scene from the original work, but now he has a better option.

The castle in Ingram is strikingly similar to Hogwarts in terms of both location and surrounding scenery, even sharing a similar latitude and thus weather.

Moreover, this castle was built in the Middle Ages, has a stronger historical atmosphere than Arrenvik Castle, and is also larger in area.

Clearly, choosing this castle would be more appropriate.

The only problem is that the castle belongs to the Ingram royal family, and Queen Isabelle's consent is required to use it.

Moreover, now that they know Philip's identity, they can no longer pretend to be ignorant; it is both morally and logically necessary for them to meet with Queen Isabelle.

After arranging his affairs in London, Ono Takeshi boarded a plane bound for the Principality of Ingram.

Also accompanying them were Philip and a reluctant Lupin III.

As for Fujiko Mine and Daisuke Jigen, after hearing that Lupin III's identity had been exposed by Takeshi Ono, they immediately turned their heads away, causing Lupin III to berate them for being disloyal.

Then, with a pained expression, he was dragged onto the plane by Oni Takeshi.

……

The Principality of Ingram.

As soon as the plane landed, Ono Takeshi saw a row of luxury cars and a large group of people in black suits through the porthole.

It was obvious that they were waiting for them, and the other party must have been someone sent by the royal family.

Ono Takeshi was not surprised by this, because he had informed Ingram's side in advance.

He nudged Lupin III beside him, then gestured towards the window with his chin and chuckled, "How about it? Everyone's waiting to catch you. Are you scared?"

Lupin III scoffed, looking completely unconcerned.

They didn't take the large group of elite personnel outside seriously at all.

"Even if I just swagger around like this, they won't dare to do anything to me, believe it or not!"

Lupin III scoffed.

Oni Takeshi smiled and did not refute.

Because what he said is very true.

Lupin III is no pushover; he has the means to live so freely in this world for so long.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he seems to be completely subdued by Oni Takeshi. That's because Oni Takeshi is a top-tier expert, and ordinary people are not worthy of making him bow down.

Even if the target is a country, this is no exception!
Putting aside Lupin III's own abilities, he also has several influential figures behind him. If things really came to a head, he would definitely be able to throw a small country like the Principality of Ingram into chaos.

Therefore, no mature politician would provoke such a troublesome person before crossing the line.

Now that Philip has returned safely, it's clear that things haven't reached the point of a complete falling out.

Sure enough, after the three of them got off the plane, the group of men in black suits simply invited them to get into their car politely, without showing any surprise even when facing Lupin III.

Lupin III gave Oni Takeshi a smug look.

Oni no Takeshi rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with this guy.

The group boarded the vehicle, and under the astonished gazes of the other passengers, the convoy left the airport and headed towards the royal palace.

……

After half an hour.

The motorcade stopped at the palace gate.

A guard of honor immediately started playing music, and the cannons fired a salute!
Although Queen Isabelle did not appear in person, she arranged for a royal prince to personally greet Oni no Takeshi and his group.

Oni no Takeshi was somewhat surprised, not expecting Queen Isabelle to arrange such a grand welcoming ceremony.

In reality, he underestimated himself.

Given Ono Takeshi's current status and influence, he would be a top figure even in America, and naturally deserves the serious attention of a small country.

Moreover, Ono Takeshi is a media tycoon who controls the mouthpiece of public opinion. Especially after he established the Universal Television Network, he has the ability to influence mainstream public opinion, and any country or power would want to win him over.

Moreover, in a sense, it was Takeshi Ono who "saved" Prince Philip.

Therefore, Queen Isabelle arranged such a grand welcoming ceremony and later received them as state guests.

Prince Philip had been taken away, and Queen Isabelle did not go to see her son immediately, even though she missed him so much that she was almost going crazy. Instead, she chose to see Takeshi Onino first.

Before being a mother, she is first and foremost Ingram's queen.

Queen Isabelle was indeed a competent head of state, but unfortunately, she inevitably overlooked Philip's feelings in the process.

"It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty!"

Ono Takeshi politely greeted Queen Isabelle, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

At the same time, he was secretly observing the other party.

Without a doubt, Queen Isabelle was a beautiful woman with a noble air, and every gesture she made was full of elegant charm.

However, this was not what Oni no Takeshi cared about.

He couldn't help but compare Queen Isabella to Mira, and it has to be said that Mira was still too inexperienced.

The woman before me possesses the demeanor befitting a queen. But I suppose in a few years, Mira will become just as dignified.

While Ono Takeshi was sizing up Queen Isabes, she was also secretly observing him.

She didn't show any surprise at Oni Takeshi's unique appearance, after all, his face was now famous all over the world and had become his signature feature.

Moreover, as his status rose, Ono Takeshi's face no longer gave off a completely fierce and frightening feeling; instead, it exuded a profound sense of majesty.

“Mr. King, I have long admired your name. Thank you for returning my prince. I apologize for the trouble you have caused.”

Queen Isabelle smiled warmly and was very polite to Takeshi Ono.

The gratitude in his tone was genuine.

Oni Takeshi smiled faintly: "You flatter me."

The two exchanged pleasantries.

From beginning to end, Queen Isabelle never once glanced at Lupin III beside her.

She didn't want to provoke him, but that didn't mean she wasn't angry with the guy who had kidnapped her son.

It's just that they don't want to cause trouble for the sake of the bigger picture.

Ignoring her is the only "revenge" she can take.

Lupin III scoffed. He wouldn't have come if he hadn't been forced to by Ono Takeshi.

Ono Takeshi didn't mention Lupin III to avoid awkwardness; he brought him along simply to show his stance.

He doesn't want to take the blame for this.

Moreover, since this thing has shown itself, it can't be let off easily.

The two sides then had a discussion.

Queen Isabelle naturally wouldn't object to Takeshi Onino's idea of ​​using Ingram as one of the filming locations.

Or rather, it's something you can't have what you want.

The Kingdom of Vesbania serves as a case in point; according to the latest statistics, tourist numbers have nearly doubled compared to previous years.

Which country isn't envious?
This is especially true for small countries like theirs, where tourism accounts for a significant portion of their economy.

Oni Takeshi is practically a money-giving boy, no wonder Queen Isabelle treats him as an honored guest.

The latter immediately stated that they would waive all expenses for the production team and would give the green light to any reasonable requests.

The principality will provide full support whatever it needs.

Ono Takeshi was very satisfied with this.

The terms offered by the other party were quite generous, so he readily agreed to place the filming location there.

Of course, this is on the premise that the castle really meets the requirements, which requires him to personally scout the location.

The two sides had a very pleasant conversation.

An hour later, Queen Isabelle personally escorted Takeshi Onino out of the palace.

Once the other person disappeared, the smile on her face vanished instantly. She immediately turned around and hurried towards the prince's residence.

She couldn't wait to see her son.

This time, Philip's running away from home made her so worried that she could hardly sleep.

Upon arriving at the palace gate, Queen Isabelle slowed her pace, concealing her anxiety and adopting a serious expression.

That wretched brat! I'm going to teach him a lesson this time!
Stepping into the hall, I immediately saw that small figure I had been longing for.

Queen Isabelle was instantly overwhelmed with emotion and almost lost her composure.

He took a deep breath and told himself that he absolutely could not be soft-hearted. This brat had really gone too far this time, and he had to make him realize the seriousness of the problem!
Thinking of this, Queen Isabelle hardened her heart and walked toward her audacious son with a stern face!
"Philip!"

A deep voice came from Queen Isabelle's mouth.

"Mother……"

Philip lowered his head, looking timid; he could sense his mother's anger.

I know I went too far this time, but I don't regret it.

Queen Isabelle's face was cold, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she then firmly raised her hand, ready to strike her son's face.

Philip suddenly raised his head, mustered his courage, and said, "Mother, I just want to help you... help the Duchy..."

Looking into her son's bright, clear eyes, filled with expectation and earnestness, Queen Isabella's arm suddenly stopped in mid-air.

The words that Oni Takeshi had said to me before he left suddenly flashed into my mind:

“Your Majesty, if I may be so bold, His Highness the Prince simply wants your approval.”

"You are a queen and a mother."

In an instant, Queen Isabelle's heart felt as if it had been struck hard by a hammer, and she immediately softened.

Scenes from the past flashed through my mind, finally settling on the timid look in my son's eyes when he looked at me...

A sudden wave of regret washed over me.

Am I really a good mother?
My heart is surging with emotion!

Overwhelmed with emotion, Queen Isabella couldn't help but kneel down and hug Philip's small body tightly.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

“I’m sorry, Philip…”
