"Wow," his eyes widened with amazement. "How do you remember all these?"

I smiled, "I have to."

'So, technically, are you the second in power?"

I nodded, "Although the Prime Minister could be argued to hold equal power, in terms of politics."

"I see..."

"You'll find that most of these people are actually nice people, except for the Prime Minister. He is a man of principles and laws. He is good in his good work but he does not take highly of Mia and me. His heart is still with the late king. Quite a male chauvinist, I would say."

Niall rolled his eyes.

"When we are there," I stood up. "Leave the talking to me. Unless you are asked a specific question."

He nodded. "Just in case I blabber the wrong things."

"He is just good at picking out such things..." I sighed. "Are we ready?"

"Yes."

As we walked down to the driveway, the rest of the gang was there to cheer up.

"You can do it, Niall!" Harry cheered.

Zayn gave him a hug, "Good luck."

Sammy laughed, "You guys make it sound like he's going for something terrible."

"Isn't it?" Louis asked.

"It's not that bad, really..."

"Where are you guys going?" I asked her.

"We are thinking for going fishing."

I nodded, "Good weather."

"That's what I thought too," she grinned.

"I'll leave them in your hands then," I said.

"You can trust me."

I smiled. "I know."

"Take care of your temper..." she warned. "And take care of him."

"Is that the castle?" Niall pointed to the majestic mahogany red building far ahead.

I nodded.

Ben was driving us down into town to the Council Hall.

"This is the town?" Niall looked around excitedly.

I nodded again.

"Quite a lively place!"

"We can stop by afterwards," I smiled.

"I wonder what nice movies are showing now..." he said as we passed by a cinema.

"Not sure either," I answered. "Haven't been following."

"That looks like a nice café."

"Mrs. Breen has the best cakes in town," I grinned.

He licked his lips, "I love cakes."

I laughed.

"My Lady, we have arrived," Ben announced.

Mia was waiting for me at the lobby.

"Your Majesty!" Niall called out.

"Are you ready?" she smiled. "It'll be fine." She turned to me, "Just relax."

I nodded.

"Don't lose your temper in there," she warned.

Niall's eyes widened.
