About her meeting with Abel, she didn’t want to conceal it, since such things couldn’t be hidden, but it wasn’t a big deal either.
Abel had always been known as a playboy and had always shown "significant admiration" for her, she just had to tell Moses that she used him to gather information about Huangfu Jue.
The car started and headed back to the hotel where she was staying. Because it was in a different direction from the city hall, it took another road instead.
Gan Yuan rested her face to the side, squinting her eyes as she watched the street scenes through the window, thinking about her next moves.
Her gaze touched upon a domed building, and she subconsciously turned her face towards that building by the roadside.
It was a large cluster of Roman-style buildings, their snow-white marble domes glistening in the sunlight...
For some reason, this building instilled an inexplicable feeling in her, akin to seeing a long-lost good friend.
"What place is this?"
"Are you referring to the building we just passed?" asked the assistant, glancing outside the window, "That’s the old Royal Palace. After F Country abolished the monarchy, it was converted into the Presidential Palace. If you’re elected successfully, you’ll live there too."
The Presidential Palace?!
Gan Yuan leaned forward to look at the distant building until it was out of sight.
She had learned enough about F Country’s history these past days; it had been a monarchy, just like Huangfu Jue’s A Country.
Until seventeen years ago, when the Conservative Party coupled with the then Prime Minister to stage a coup, the King and Queen and their two children all died tragically, bringing the country’s monarchy to an end. The President she had assassinated before was one of the main figures who initiated that coup.
She had visited F Country many times before, but she had never been interested in places like the Royal Palace and had never visited. Why did she feel a sense of familiarity with this building?
Or maybe... she had seen it on a postcard somewhere!
Thinking she was interested in the Presidential Palace, the assistant spoke with a smiling voice, "The Presidential banquet in a few days will be held at the Presidential Palace, we will arrange for you to attend, and you can take a closer look then."
Gan Yuan nodded and joked, "I’ll go familiarize myself with the route first."
The assistant laughed, "That Royal Palace has hundreds of years of history, inside are many precious paintings and artifacts, all treasures left by the Gula Family..."
At this point, the assistant sighed softly.
"What a pity, the Gula Family’s centuries of splendor, but in the end it came to such a pass. If it weren’t for that coup, F Country wouldn’t be like it is now, its economy stagnant for over a decade, with each state governing itself and the President having a mere titular position."
Gan Yuan frowned, that surname...
For some reason, when she heard that surname, it felt as though something flashed through her mind.
At that moment, the car had stopped outside the hotel lobby, and the assistant helped her open the door, seeing her still dazed, the assistant spoke in a puzzled tone.
Gan Yuan came to her senses and got out of the car.
When a few of them returned to the room, the butler was organizing documents on the table, and immediately brought over a bowl of soup upon seeing her enter.
"Miss, your soup!" Gan Yuan thanked and took it, then the butler spoke again, "Mr. Moses has already come back."
"Wasn’t he supposed to be back in three days?"
