Chapter 1846: A High-Profile Reception

Due to Mya's advanced pregnancy and the imminent birth of the baby, Albert and Violet stayed in Arkpool City, politely declining the old king's invitation. They promised to attend when Louis and Claire got married, with the wedding preparations already in full swing.

Before leaving Arkpool City, the final dinner was hosted at the Russell family's home. The elders discussed the children's wedding matters, having a particularly pleasant conversation.

A few hours later, a private plane arrived at the royal private airport in Lu Layeka. As everyone disembarked, Algerone, Belinda, and Tristan, visiting for the first time, were captivated by the majestic scenery, akin to a scene from a movie. The architectural ensemble included castles and estates, a variety of palaces exuding a strong national character, grand and solemn. The welcoming military and royal officials were in formal attire, lined up in formation, with Catherine accompanied by Julie. As everyone disembarked from the plane, almost all eyes fell on the girl led by the old king. She appeared as if from a dream, with skin like jade and a gentle smile on her face. Wasn't she the long-lost Princess Annie? In the bright sunlight, her eyebrows resembled mountain daisies, and her eyes carried a certain charm, captivating all who beheld her.

When Bertie disembarked, he took Annie directly to Catherine and introduced her, "This is Queen Catherine." Monica knew her identity from her brother in Arkpool City and about her half-brother, Taylor. This woman in front of her was her stepmother. Catherine smiled at the girl. "She is the Annie princess we have been searching for." Bertie cherished the grip of his daughter's hand, joyfully conveying the news, despite already having done so over the phone. "Hello, Annie," Catherine said, extending her hand to Monica with a soft expression, giving off a friendly demeanor. "Hello," Annie replied softly, shaking the queen's hand. Bertie then briefly introduced Algerone, Belinda, and Tristan to Catherine, who, with the grace of a queen mother, greeted each one and welcomed everyone.

What a delight to have friends coming from afar! This time, the reception in Lu Layeka was of the highest standard, from accommodation arrangements to meals. Over the next two days, everyone had scheduled activities. Catherine was not idle, actively getting close to Annie, sharing the traditions of the Lu Layeka royal family and often showing affection, treating her like a daughter. She also showed great respect and warmth to Annie's foster parents, treating them like family. Tristan and Rowan took note of all this.

On this day, Tristan, Annie, and the Swain family elders were arranged to visit the castle, with Bertie and Queen Catherine personally accompanying them throughout. It was a leisurely tour, almost like a holiday.

Meanwhile, Rowan brought Claire to Taylor's palace. At the door, the servants were surprised to see them and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Miss Russell." "Where's Taylor?" Rowan asked calmly. The servant replied, "Your Majesty, the prince is in the study reading medical books and hasn't come out for four hours. Shall I inform him?" "No need," Rowan said, taking Claire's hand and heading inside. The servant didn't dare to stop them and had no chance to inform Prince Taylor.

At this moment, inside Taylor's study, most of the books had already been replaced. He was earnestly studying medicine. With the door slightly ajar, no one would dare disturb him. He was at the point of neglecting rest and food, having greeted the servants and not allowing anyone to disturb him, even during meal times. If he got hungry, he would go down to eat by himself. So when the door was pushed open, Taylor, who was attending an online class and taking notes, was taken aback!
