"That sounds like you think you could actually beat the Headless Knight!"
Wayne rolled his eyes and ignored the Joker, while Dreyne continued with relish, "Lundan is lucky to have the new Death and Darkness choose this place as their headquarters, with the Moonlight Knight also present... Joining forces to oust the Windsor Royal Family, a conflict is bound to erupt in the future."
Dreyne loved to stir the pot. Seeing that Wayne ignored him, he frowned and looked out the window, "You’ve gone around this road three times already. If you keep circling, even I’m going to get lost. Hurry up and take me back; I want to play cards."
"The Moonlight Church library?"
"No, Philomena’s place. Tonight, you guys are forbidden from interacting; just sit down and play cards with me."
Then I won’t go. I’ll save billions in one night; what a windfall!
Why not go see the Dragon Lady, pigtails, secretary? Aren’t they more delightful!
Wayne sighed, "Dreyne, I’m truly happy to play cards with you. Just between us, ever since leaving the Icebound Continent, I’ve dreamt several times of playing cards with you."
"Heh, cut the crap. Why aren’t you playing cards with me tonight?"
Wayne explained awkwardly, "As you’ve seen, the Lando Family’s rebellion succeeded. Just one phone call and I could be dining in Buckingham Palace. I’m now also serving as the Magic Department Vice Minister. The family needs me to work overtime; I gotta go to the Magical Department for research."
"What are you researching? I’ll come to have a look too." Dreyne was relentless, intent on dragging Wayne along to play cards.
"That’s not appropriate; after all, you’re a Moonlight Knight, and we’re in opposition to Windsor’s Magic Department."
"Windsor also deserves a place?"
"You’re also a Moonlight Knight; you can go, but I can’t?"
When Dreyne wasn’t playing cards, her IQ was online. She didn’t want to be fooled by Wayne, who simply couldn’t get one over on her. Having no choice, she laid the request to rest and reluctantly took them toward the Magical Department Headquarters.
The Magical Department Headquarters was located in the West District, not far from Buckingham Palace, occupying an enormous area, with multiple guarded entrances and exits. Security was remarkable day and night, especially strict.
After the night of Douglas’s rebellion and the Lando Family’s purging of the royal side, the standard of security had significantly increased; outsiders needed to schedule their visits in advance.
Members of the Royal Family were the exception.
Whether Wayne belonged to the Royal Family was clear to the guards at the Magic Department, who followed protocol by asking for Dreyne’s identity and let them through with the answer of a new secretary.
No wonder he’s a Prince; his secretary is really beautiful! xN
Noticing the guards’ peculiar glances, Dreyne repeatedly shook her head. The heir’s private life was too chaotic; she had never seen a God’s Chosen Knight with such a loose belt.
Maybe the Goddess was a bit too hasty.
Dreyne had no say in who the Goddess chose as a knight; the rice was already cooked. She followed the Goddess’s Divine Decree, stopping Wayne from sneaking off with Nature or the Sun.
The car roamed around the Magical Department Headquarters once, then a second time.
On the third round, Dreyne couldn’t help but sneer, "What, Mister Vice Minister, can’t find your own office?"
Wayne shrugged, "I know where my office is, but the Lando’s are known for their filial piety. I’m conflicted about whether I should go and pay my respects to my father."
"It’s not hard to decide; just go."
"You don’t understand. My father Austin is the Queen’s ex-boyfriend. Their past... Ah, it’s a family misfortune!"
That’s really interesting!
Dreyne immediately perked up, urging Wayne to go pay his respects, hoping to witness something intriguing if they interrupted something.
Wayne, full of disdain, led Dreyne into the building that was once used by the Queen.
Wayne kicked open the door and saw two people seated upright inside, not entangled with each other, and immediately his face showed disappointment.
Austin was about to ask a question but froze upon seeing the ice-queen beauty beside Wayne.
Pretending ignorance, he curiously asked, "Who is this lady? Have you found a new love?"
Queen Sophia looked over as well. Dreyne, with her silver hair and silver eyes, showed no signs of magic power, but she couldn’t be detached from a mage. The Queen couldn’t help but speculate on her identity.
All white, a nun sent by the Heavenly Father’s Court?
Clicking her tongue, what a beauty!
"Father, don’t speak nonsense. This is the Knight Lord of the Moonlight, who has come from afar to congratulate our family on becoming the new rulers of Windsor."
Her heart ached. She shouldn’t have worked overtime tonight; resting at Buckingham Palace would have been so much better.
