While comforting some cats who were not used to such a noisy environment, I was thinking about other things. At this time, Princess Margaret's brief speech on "Coming with Peace" had also ended, and reporters from Tobesk City and the visiting delegation

The accompanying reporters were setting up cameras to take pictures.

Everything was going according to procedure, Princess Margaret smiled and waved to people, and then selected three people from the crowd to ask questions.

"Salute to the great Anjou family! Your Highness, do you come with a new wine trade agreement? The people of Tobesk all like the southern vineyard red wine produced by Carsenlique!"

The first person selected was a middle-aged gentleman standing in the third row, wearing old-school formal attire. If Shade remembered correctly, that was Count Orlan.

"Yes, my father gave me some tasks. I hope Tobesk will be able to taste those sweet wines tomorrow in the summer."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Count Orlan said loudly, then waved his hand and took out a book and handed it forward:

"Your Highness, this is a gift for you!"

After checking, the book was delivered to the princess, who thanked her softly. The flashlight kept flashing, recording Princess Margaret holding "Pearl of the North: Forever Tobesk".

"Your Highness, I salute you and hope you like this city. During your visit, will you visit the Tobesk City Art Museum?"

There was laughter from the crowd, and the old man selected was Mr. Leonardo, the director of the local art gallery.

"Yes, I really like Delrayon-style oil paintings."

The princess said again, and accepted a beautiful brooch as a gift from the director of the art museum.

The flashlight kept flashing, and the princess still had a lot to do next, and she could only choose the last person to ask questions. Margaret Anjou glanced at the surrounding crowd, and then finally saw Shade.

Both of them were startled, but it was obvious that the princess did not recognize this "Mr. Holmes", but was surprised by the young gentleman's unique temperament.

"That's Reggie's Hamilton."

Queen Diana reminded softly, then Princess Margaret smiled and motioned for Shade to ask questions, and Lesia on the side also looked at Shade.

However, Shade didn't want to ask questions at all, and he didn't even wave his hat.

But now that he had been selected, everyone in the crowd on the platform looked at him. Even Priest August was curious to know what Shade would say, so Shade calmed down and said loudly:

"Your Highness, I wish you can enjoy the winter time in Tobesk. Peace and friendship are the bond of human civilization and the cornerstone of the development of our era. Do you believe that Delarion and Kasenlik will always be peaceful and friendly?"

Shade's question was not out of the ordinary, because it was the topic of her speech at the banquet at the manor when she left Huntingdon.

"Yes, I firmly believe that!"

The princess with long pale golden hair said, causing the crowd on the platform to applaud and cheer.

Shade's question had ended. Suddenly inspiration struck him. He put his hand into his pocket and took out the shield-shaped jewelry box he had taken out of the gift box in the morning:

"To Her Royal Highness Margaret of Anjou, I hope you will come with peace and leave with beauty!"

Amid people's laughter, Shade's jewelry box was delivered to the princess. She thanked her and opened it. When she saw the flawless oval emerald inside, it was exposed just like Queen Diana and Miss Carina.

Surprised look.

The size of the gem is not large, so the value is not particularly high, but the gem itself is indeed too beautiful.

The flash lights lit up in bursts, and the ladies returned to their normal expressions, smiling and facing the camera. And Shade also knew that his first step towards approaching Princess Margaret of Anjou had been successful, "Rejed's

Hamilton" has been remembered by her.

He just wanted to know if MI6 could reimburse the gem.

"It's really nice of you to prepare a gift in advance."

Priest August smiled and praised in his ear, and Shade responded while looking in a daze at the royal nobles standing in front of the black steam locomotive in the flash of spotlights, with their jewelry shining.

"The age of steam, the age of change..."

Although the scene in front of him is rare for people in this world, it is not unseen. But the outsider has a vague feeling that today's scene may become an illustration in a history book, and he has witnessed this scene in history.

.

"Is this civilization?"

【Yes, this is enlightenment.】

There was a sound in his ears, and it seemed as if a warm wind was gently blowing over Shade's ears. In this noisy, but extremely bright scene, Shade felt as if he saw the street lights of Silver Cross Avenue lighting up one after another at night.

, in the strong sense of reality that made his scalp numb, he once again felt that he had a new understanding of this world and the civilization of this era.

Being in the middle of it, but watching it all from the perspective of a bystander. I couldn't help but smile, and cheered and cheered along with the people around me.

At this moment, white doves symbolizing peace were released by people, flapping their wings, flying in groups over people's heads, in front of the heirs of the Cavendish and Anjou families, and over the noisy platform.

, flew above the city, into the sky shrouded in haze.

No one can know whether the white doves will bring long-lasting peace. Just like the Righteous God [Peace Father], peace and war have never been separated.
