Chapter 1662 - The Queen Dowager Encountered
After breakfast, Claire accompanied the king out of the dining room, with Eiden and Arthur following on
both sides.
"Claire, since you have nothing to do now, help me with a favor," the king said in front of everyone in
the great hall.
Claire nodded, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"I have a can of tea leaves from 1978 here. It would be perfect to drink now. Please deliver it to Prince
Louis," the king casually took a can of tea leaves from the shelf and handed it to Claire.
She quickly reached out to receive it, "Alright."
Claire did not linger there. She was worried about any mishaps and worried that Eiden or Arthur would
take the initiative to volunteer to deliver it. So she walked straight out at a rapid pace!
She practically left before Eiden and Arthur could react clearly. Hugging the tea can, she almost flew to
the palace gate, her figure disappearing quickly.
Eiden looked at her back, then withdrew his gaze.
Claire held the tea can and strode towards Louis' palace. The architecture here was heavily exotic.
Passing through the lush lawns and along the stone paths, she arrived at the colonnade. Not far away
were rows of palaces, gleaming brightly under the sunlight.
Some castles were surrounded by ancient trees with lush foliage.
Louis' palace was just ahead, about a hundred meters away. Not only was the front yard spacious, it
was filled with potted plants of all kinds, luxuriantly green.
It was obvious the owner took good care of it.
The exterior of the palace was also magnificent, intricately carved and glittering with gold. Yet it also
carried a sense of historical weight.
But just then, the elegantly dressed Queen Mother Catherine appeared with her personal guard Jolie
approaching from the opposite direction.novelbin
Claire's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met. For some reason, she felt a little flustered inside but
tried her best to remain composed.
They seem to be heading towards Louis' palace as well?
Catherine's gaze fell upon the tea can in her hands, then she stopped with Jolie and a faint smile
appeared on her lips. "Miss, where are you heading?"
Although she already had the answer in mind.
"I'm delivering tea leaves to Prince Louis by the king's order," Claire replied with a smile, not hiding
anything.
"Oh?" Catherine clearly did not quite believe it, but still had a smile on her face. "Where's Arthur? Why
would he let you handle such matters? Aren't you a translator?"
"I happened to be free and had some spare time," Claire said.
At this moment, Arthur who had followed all the way quickened his pace when he saw what's
happening. "Your Highness, Captain, good day."
"Arthur," Catherine looked at him displeased, reproaching him, "How could you let Miss Claire handle
delivering tea leaves? What have you been doing?"
Arthur bowed respectfully and reached out to Claire, "Let me deliver it, Miss Claire."
"Since it was the king who instructed me to do this, and I already accepted, I will definitely fulfill the task
properly," Claire held onto the tea can tightly, wary of everyone. Her face still had a smile, "I've already
come this far, the palace is not far. I'm afraid I must be on my way."
After saying that, she passed by Queen Mother Catherine and went straight towards Prince Louis'
palace, brushing past Jolie!
She must deliver the food samples!
Claire was actually a little flustered inside, because thieves tend to feel guilty, it was inevitable.
Not hearing any footsteps behind her, she continued striding forward. She felt fine beads of sweat on
her forehead as her heartbeat gradually calmed down.
"Miss Claire."
At the gate, she was stopped by the servant as well.
"Hello, the king asked me to deliver tea leaves to Prince Louis," Claire said softly. "I also have a couple
words to pass on to him."
