However, with the special IDs Helena provided, such issues wouldn't occur at all.It came with perfect timing, too, as Charlie had been planning to go sightseeing with Vera, since she held sentimental value over the country.Nonetheless, the car soon left the airport and headed straight to the palace in the heart of Oslo.Helena was there, waiting anxiously with her grandmother, Queen Alisha Elliot.Watching Helena pacing around the throne room, blushing one second and giggling the next, Alisha went up and stopped her, "You should be more proper when you see Charlie. Show him the air of a queen as you should.""What?" Helena blurted, embarrassed. "A-Am I being that obvious?""At this point, you're just stopping short of writing 'my beloved has come' on your face," Alisha teased."No way…" Helena was at once defensive. "I'm being very proper.""You usually are," Alisha sighed, shaking her head. "But even if you usually carry yourself like royalty, you're behaving like a lovesick

Charlie and Vera touched down in Europe at 3 pm local time.It wasn't that cold despite it being winter, and it was actually warmer than Aurous Hill and more comfortable than one would expect.Still, being higher in latitude meant shorter daylight—it was already dusk despite being just 3 pm, with the sun setting over the horizon.It was the first time Charlie had come in winter. As he checked his phone, whose clock had already changed to local time, he couldn't help pointing out, "Interesting. It's almost getting dark when it's just 3 pm…"Vera smiled. "Actually, Oslo is on the southern end and therefore enjoys five hours of daylight in winter. On the northern end, you won't be seeing the sun for another couple of months."Charlie sighed. "I think I'd suffer from depression if I stayed there for too long.""You won't," Vera shook her head, enthusiastic as ever, "You won't be aware, but those nights will remain bright with the glow of the auroras, and it's a calm quietness since y

When the A350 arrived at Aurous Hill, Isaac Cameron arranged for system checks to make sure there were no safety hazards or bugs. It was only after it was cleared that they applied for a flight route while arranging for a flight crew of their own to be doubly sure.With the arrangements complete, Charlie and Vera both cleared the checkpoint and boarded the flight from the freight entrance.The A350 was the biggest Airbus there is, while this one had been refurbished so that two-thirds of the fuselage space was repurposed into multiple bedrooms, a conference room, and a parlor, so it was more than enough for just two passengers.Charlie and Vera both headed to the parlor after boarding, taking their seats while the A350 took off toward Europe.Vera was thrilled by the prospect of returning to Europe. As she was alone in the soundproofed parlor with Charlie, Charlie asked, "You're looking forward to this trip?""Yes!" Vera could hardly contain her excitement. "I won't lie—it's my

Charlie naturally knew what Jacob was scheming—there was no way his father-in-law would have been content with just returning to the Calligraphy and Painting Association.If anything, he would definitely want to claw his way back up and become the administrative vice-president once more—or the president, if he could.However, Charlie wasn't going to let him have it easy, and his father-in-law wouldn't become president as long as Albert didn't clear a path for his promotion. In fact, he would be having a hard time reclaiming his previous position as administrative vice-president.After all, that scandal with Zachary Evans still loomed over him, and there were a handful of other vice-presidents in his way—there was no way he could clear them out of his way with that blemish in his history.Right now, what Charlie wanted was for Jacob's path to promotion to be laden with thorns, all so that he would learn to stay put for a long while.-It was morning two days later when Albert visi

Ivy was naturally aggrieved that Kenny was suddenly snapping at her, but she didn't stop to retort and took his phone for a look.Just seeing the photo left her utterly remorseful as well, and she sighed, "I guess I was naive to think only women would give men the silent treatment one day and play nice the next. Guess it's the same for men too—Don Albert must have been annoyed when you talked to him about Jacob and got a little harsh, but I presumed that they were going their separate ways."But as it turns out, they're like a squabbling couple who made up even before dinner got cold. Good for them, but bad for us…"Kenny's grievance was naturally quelled considerably as she so earnestly admitted the mistake.That was just how people worked. Even if someone was angry with another person who had made a major mistake, if the other person was forthright with their apology and sincerely reflected on it, the person's rage would subside considerably.However, if the person who had made

Jacob, however, had other ideas.Pulling Albert along by the sleeve, he picked up his teapot and poured him a cup of tea even though it had gotten a little cold.Then, picking up his own cup with one hand, he whipped out his phone with his other hand, unlocking it and turning on the camera.His movement was crisp and smooth as he immediately switched to selfie mode, holding his cup against Albert's as he exclaimed, "Come, Don Albert—let's drink to your health and take a photo to commemorate the occasion!"Albert naturally saw through Jacob, but he still nodded since the man was Charlie's father-in-law, even putting an arm around Jacob's shoulder while smiling at the camera.Snap!Jacob's selfie was perfect, capturing both the instant his cup touched Albert's, with Albert smiling at the camera, looking just like they were having a tea party between old friends.Satisfied, Jacob put away his phone and told Albert, "Do visit us more often. I have all the tea and wine waiting for yo
