The next morning, when Colin arrived at the restaurant with Vera, they finally saw Scholar Doan again.
"Good morning, Miss Vera. Viscount Angler!"
"Good morning, Scholar Doan. Did the Prime Minister invite you to dine at his house yesterday?"
"Yes, the Prime Minister was very warm-hearted. I couldn't refuse."
"Haha, no problem. I can understand. Besides, I believe the banquet at the Prime Minister's house couldn't be worse than that at Phoenix Palace."
"Indeed, it was excellent." Scholar Doan couldn't help smiling, then told Colin that he had spent last night nibbling sweet potatoes on the lawn with the Prime Minister.
Colin and Vera looked at each other. They hadn't expected the eminent Prime Minister of the Empire to entertain guests in this way...
Of course, such an informal gesture, although slightly inappropriate, could highlight the familiarity and affection. ItLooks like the Prime Minister considered Scholar Doan a dear member of his inner circle.
