The three princesses each represented a different aspect of Britain: intellect, military prowess, and morality.

They are responsible for the country's political, military, and diplomatic affairs, respectively.

In their interactions with others, the three princesses also displayed different behaviors.

"Since you are unfamiliar faces, please introduce yourselves properly."

Limeia pushed up her monoriminated glasses with the back of her hand, her gaze towards Makoto Haramura and Misaki Shokuhou filled with wariness and apprehension.

"It must be some important person from somewhere. I don't think an ordinary citizen would be invited to attend a **** meeting."

Kellysa openly and boldly looked Haramura Makoto and Shokuhou Misaki up and down.

As for the so-called third princess?

She didn't say anything, but just looked at the two of them with curious eyes.

The princess probably knew very well that although she was able to attend the meeting, she was more like a mascot and didn't have much say. She just needed to keep quiet.

"OK OK."

The Queen clapped her hands, the crisp sound echoing throughout the room, and returned to her seat, taking the Cardina back into her hands.

"Now that our two guests, the Puritans, the Royalists, and the Knights are all present, let's begin the meeting."

Chapter 387 Beg Me

"Therefore, I hereby declare that the operations following the destruction of the European tunnels shall now commence."

On the high platform, around a conference table, everyone was seated.

Queen Elizabeth II naturally sat at the head of the table, with her daughters, Princesses Lemia, Kelly, and Vivian, to her right.

To the Queen's left are Laura, Makoto Haramura, and Misaki Shokuhou, and oh yes, Touma Kamijou and Index.

As for the Grand Master of the Knights, he has always served the royal family. Due to his status, he will only stand by the Queen's side.

The meeting began under these circumstances.

"Alright, there aren't that many troublesome people here. Whoever has any thoughts or speculations about this incident, you can speak freely, my daughters."

Queen Eliza was the first to turn her gaze toward her daughters, but her gaze was only fixed on the First Princess Limeia and the Second Princess Kelissa.

The third princess, Vivian, was naturally ignored.

They had all probably taken this situation for granted: the older sister neglected her younger sister, and the mother neglected her daughter.

Only Vivian's eyes darkened, and she gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands.

After all, benevolence and virtue are merely superficial things for a country and are not valued.

"Is there anything else to discuss?"

Kellysa sat on the sofa with her arms crossed, in a rather unrestrained posture, and made a snickering sound.

"No matter how you look at it, this incident is a unilateral break in relations by France."

"Agree."

Limeia pushed up her monocle again. Although she wasn't as careless as Kelissa, even she, being rational, agreed with this.

"Every British person knows how important the tunnel connecting our country to the whole European continent is to our country. The British would never dig their own grave. It seems more likely that France is doing something that harms others without benefiting itself."

This is the most common idea circulating among the British public.

Most people agree with this view, after all, the two countries have a long history of enmity.

The protests against France that are now erupting within Britain are proof of this.

Known for her sharp mind and cunning, Limeia, with intelligence far exceeding that of ordinary people, would not refute such a viewpoint.

After all, this is indeed the most likely possibility.

"Now that we've confirmed it was a provocation from France, we can't just sit here and swallow this loss without saying a word. We must retaliate."

A carefree smile spread across Kellysa's face, her tone as sharp as a lion eyeing its prey.

"Let's just start a war. Only war can demonstrate our country's attitude and appease the people."

Ah, I knew it!

At this moment, this thought probably flashed through everyone's mind. It was not unexpected at all. This style of starting a fight at the drop of a hat is very much in line with Kellysa's personality.

"Sister Wang's idea is too radical."

Vivian, who had remained silent and felt she had no right to speak, couldn't hold back any longer and impulsively rejected Kellysa's proposal.

"There is still no evidence that the French side did this. There may be other hidden reasons behind this. We still need to strive for dialogue."

"Moreover, if we were to launch a war so hastily, it would be a very serious disaster for both France and our country. Many people would be displaced and lose their loved ones. War should not be something to be taken lightly."

A statement worthy of benevolence and virtue.

“That’s right, I don’t agree with what you said, Kellysa.”

After Kelissa and Vivian spoke, Princess Limeia also spoke up.

"When the world situation is in complete chaos, if Britain were to start a war, not to mention our losses, a war with France could very well become the start of World War III. This would be very unfavorable for Britain in terms of international public opinion, and it would be a losing proposition."

"But Vivian's thinking is too shallow. Since France has already done such a thing, it means that they have reached this level of awareness. No matter what, the other party must pay the price they deserve. Diplomacy between countries requires a tough attitude. If you only try to appease them, you will only lose the dignity of the country."

This is also a statement that is worthy of rationality.

The three princesses each held their own opinions, refuting each other's arguments and explaining their own viewpoints.

The current situation in this room is the best proof.

This demonstrates the stark and extreme attitudes among these three princesses.

Kelissa was too radical, Vivian was too gentle, and Limeia was utterly rational.

"So, Limeia, what do you think we should do?"

As expected, the Queen ignored the advice of her two women and ultimately chose the First Princess Lemeria, the brains of the family.

Kelissa was completely unmoved by this. She did like to solve everything through war, but how could someone who was truly capable of leading an army be just an idiot who only knew about war? She had long expected that her proposal would be rejected.

Vivian was a little disappointed, but also a little relieved.

Her proposal was indeed rejected once again, but she succeeded in refuting her sister Wang's suggestion.

This is already a good start.

"Hasn't a conclusion already been reached on this point?"

"Isn't that why the Catalogue of Banned Books was recalled?"

Limeia shrugged and continued, "Just as planned from the beginning, the royal faction and the knight faction will take the Catalogue of Forbidden Books to the European Tunnel to confirm the truth and begin to deal with the repair of the European Tunnel."

"The Puritans, on the other hand, took control of the magical societies in Britain during this period and dealt with those who were making trouble in the shadows."

"Once it is confirmed that the French were responsible, we will definitely retaliate against France in a way that is equivalent to the Eurotunnel incident."

Representing the mind of the matter, Limeia ultimately made the most realistic proposal, which Queen Eliza nodded in satisfaction with.

After all, politics was Limea's responsibility, and in this area, Limea was completely superior to the other two princesses.

"Limea begins the repair work on the European Tunnel, Kellysa takes the Catalogue of Forbidden Books to the European Tunnel to find out the truth about the collapse, and the Puritans deal with the unstable magical societies in the country."

Following Limeia's suggestion, Queen Elizabeth approved the proposal.

Finally, she focused her attention on Makoto Haramura's Misaki Shokuhou.

"So, what are your thoughts, my two allies? Don't hold back, just bring them up. I'm really looking forward to your help."

The Queen of England completely ignored the opinions of Touma Kamijou and Index, since the two of them had already been thoroughly threatened by her before Makoto Haramura and the others arrived, leaving them no choice but to obediently help.

Imagine Breaker will be by Index's side.

"I don't have any suggestions or anything like that."

Makoto Haramura waved his hand and leaned back completely on the sofa.

"The plan is quite comprehensive, basically taking all possibilities into account."

"But if I had to say something, there is one thing that needs to be mentioned."

"From my perspective, even if France did this, it shouldn't have much to do with the French government. After all, the French government shouldn't do something so foolish, especially at a time when war could break out at any moment."

"There is at least an 80% chance that the Roman Catholic Church is behind this. To be precise, it is very likely that they instructed Roman Catholic believers in France to do this."

"Since they've already done it, it means they won't easily clear up this misunderstanding, at least not before they achieve their goals."

It was like spilling beans; Makoto Haramura poured out everything that had been on his mind in that instant.

"That makes sense."

Queen Elizabeth's wrinkled face immediately broke into a smile, revealing an expression of approval and admiration.

"This possibility certainly exists, and it's not insignificant."

"Then could I trouble you with this matter? The attack on the Roman Catholic Church, if possible, I would like to ask you to help."

"what."

Makoto Haramura yawned.

"If I can meet him, I will."

"But don't have too high hopes for me."

It is clearly unlikely that we would expend too much energy going around helping the country put out fires and conducting investigations.

Ultimately, this country has little to do with him.

Furthermore, with that sword already in existence, this country doesn't necessarily need his power.

"As it should be."

Queen Elizabeth II didn't see anything wrong with what Makoto Haramura said and nodded.

“Carissa, Commander of the Knights, you also need to pay attention to the Roman Catholic Church and be on guard against a possible attack from them.”

"I see."

Kellysa paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement, but her imposing eyes were fixed on Haramura Makoto, and a wanton smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"In the end, our country's affairs don't need outsiders to interfere; we can solve everything ourselves."

Kellysa shrugged and stared at Makoto Haramura for a while.

"Just stay here and enjoy your visit, be a good tourist."

After saying that, Kellysa, along with the Knight Commander, dragged Touma Kamijou and Index away.

Makoto Haramura shrugged, completely unconcerned about Kellisa's inexplicable hostility.

To him, it felt like a stray dog ​​barking at him from the street. How could a human being get angry at a pet?

That's so tasteless!

"Haha, don't take it too seriously. Kelissa has always been the one who speaks very bluntly, and she doesn't even give me, her mother, any face."

Queen Eliza laughed heartily, seemingly oblivious to what Kellysa meant, and continued to smile at Makoto Haramura with an air of nonchalance.

"Then, Mother Queen, I will take my leave as well."

Limeia also stood up from her seat and spoke up directly.

"Like Kellysa, I don't need help either. However, unlike Kellysa, I simply don't trust anyone around me, let alone someone from Academy City. If the Queen wants me to work with him, she should give up on that idea as soon as possible."

After saying that, Limeia left without looking back.

"Well then, I'll take my leave now. Following the Second Princess's suggestion, Xiao Qi and I will explore this country thoroughly."

Almost everyone had left, leaving only Laura and the other three. Makoto Haramura naturally had no interest in staying any longer, so he stood up, took Misaki Shokuhou's hand, and headed towards the door.

"Mother Queen."

Vivian also stood up, clutching the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands.

However, the Queen simply waved her hand without saying a word, and Vivian understood her mother's meaning, leaving with a somber expression.

That's true. Since she's not valued by anyone, even if she hadn't attended this meeting today, probably no one would have cared.

Similarly, no one would care if she left now.

"well--!"
