Zara's Arrival

General Martin knitted his brows at Ciel's answer.

He seemed to find it strange.

Even so, he still nodded.

"Alright!" He said.

Ciel then signaled to Joe.

The latter responded by signaling to several maids who were watching from afar.

They left and after a while, a group of maids came with various drinks and snacks.

They placed the drinks and snacks in front of General Martin and the others.

"It's not time for lunch yet, please enjoy these drinks and snacks first, gentlemen," Ciel said in a friendly and elegant manner.

The two Ministers started eating the snacks without hesitation.

However, General Martin seemed to be starting to feel a bit annoyed. He only drank and occasionally glanced at the entrance of the hall.

About fifteen minutes later.

"The Prime Minister come to visit!" A loud sound resounded from outside.

The words of that voice made all those seated immediately stand up as if they heard that the Emperor had come.

Ciel smiled wryly but at the same time he swore that this would end soon.

Of course, even if the Prime Minister came, it didn't mean the people inside the palace would go out.

However, this time, Ciel and Joe went outside. The others had no other choice but to follow.

At this moment, there were two luxurious carriages in the palace grounds, which was quite surprising since usually the Prime Minister came with only one carriage.

General Martin who didn't live in the capital didn't know that, but the strange expressions of the people made his eyes narrow.

A soldier escorting the carriages opened the door of the first carriage.

Then, a handsome middle-aged man with brown hair descended from the carriage.

He wasn't that cold but his gaze was as sharp as an eagle's. There was no need for stares from him, just looking into his eyes would make one feel like they were being chased.

However, this time he didn't walk straight into the palace, but looked at the second carriage, as if waiting for the person in the carriage to get off.

The carriage door opened before a woman wearing a black coat and trousers got down.

This woman was very different from the others because of her eastern face, black hair, slanted eyes, and small lips.

She had short hair and instead of wearing high heels, she wore a pair of boots.

After descending, she stretched her hand into the carriage, it seemed she was preparing her palm for someone else's grip.

It was immediately grabbed by a palm with slender fingers and slightly pale white skin.

Each nail on the fingers was bright red, reflecting the sunlight that hit them.

There was no need for the body or face of the owner of that palm, that was the only thing that had caused every man there to be amazed.

"Why did the Prime Minister bring his daughter?" Several officials immediately wondered because most of them had forgotten about the engagement.

And those who knew that Jasmine Villarreal was on her way to the capital were also few, only people with strong informants.

Immediately a pair of long and beautiful legs descended.

People finally saw the owner of the fingers.

Admiration filled their faces as they looked at the woman with pigtails and a very serene face.

Even though her hair was in a ponytail, but because it was too thick and long, it didn't appear to be in a ponytail at a glance.

Her pale white skin made anyone wonder what her touch felt like.

Ciel had almost never seen her again since he became Emperor, so his memory of her face was also a bit hazy, only the structure he could remember.

Looking at her again now, he couldn't help but wonder who would match this one beauty among the women of the earth.

Of course, what stood out the most was still his temperament, calm, graceful, and mature.

This kind of temperament completely matched the position of the empress, accompanying the Emperor's side.

The woman, Zara Wallace did not stop, she immediately walked towards the Prime Minister, followed by the woman who helped her down from the carriage.

Her eyes moved slightly and quickly fell on Ciel.

For a moment, they stared at each other.

Ciel was calm and she was also very calm.

She only stopped staring at Ciel as soon as she arrived at the side of the Prime Minister, who walked straight into the palace.

"Hahaha, welcome, my brother... What extraordinary thing would you do that you came with your daughter?" Anthony Burton was the first to greet the Prime Minister.

The latter smiled slightly before looking directly at Ciel, he didn't look at General Martin so the armored man's eyes turned cold.

"Your Majesty, in the era of the previous Emperor, there was an engagement agreement between you and my daughter, Zara Wallace... Today, I have come with her to fulfill that agreement. Further depends on your decision." The Prime Minister spoke in a loud voice, heard even by the soldiers standing guard in front of the palace gates and the few people who happened to be passing by.
