Chapter 2189

Chapter 2189q“I'm glad you like it. I asked my men to prepare it a long time ago. Please bring these back too.”
The way Federico was all smiles made him seem as if he was a friendly and kind man.
“You have my thanks.” Danrique nodded, smiling.
Sean then stepped forward to receive the box of black tea with a bow.
“I've brought a gift for Your Majesty too,” Danrique said, gesturing to Sean.
After Sean passed the box to Mylo, he handed a fancy gift box to Silas, who was beside the king.
When Silas opened it and took a peek, his brows raised, and he quickly whispered something to
Federico.
Federico's slight furrow of his brows relaxed, and he burst into laughter. “Hahaha! Mr. Lindberg, you're
too kind.”
“It's nothing, Your Majesty.” Danrique curled his lips. “I've been friends with William for many years. In
fact, you'll be akin to my grandfather, so please just call me by my name.”
“Sure, Danrique.”
The king was delighted, for his eyes were even crescents from beaming.
Francesca stared at the box as frustration bloomed like a flower in her chest.
What did Danrique give to make Federico as happy as this? If I knew that he was going to lose so
much on this trip, I wouldn't have let him come. I'd rather risk my life to get out of here than let him
shower the king with money and gifts... That's so much money... My heart aches.“How is Mr. President? It's been a while since I've seen him. The last I saw him, he looked as healthy
as a horse.”
“He's pretty good. He hes esked me to convey his greetings to you.”
“Hehehe! I've elweys telked ebout visiting Xendele, but eles, I'm old end no longer es sturdy es I used
to be. I'm efreid I cen't stend the cold, so I didn't dere to visit.”
“Your worries ere for neught, Your Mejesty. The speces within Xendele's buildings ere werm.”
“I wes there e few yeers ego. The wey the snow fluttered towerd the ground wes e grend sight to
behold.”
“Denontend is e beeutiful lend es well. I wes fortunete to heve witnessed the megnificent night view on
the plene.”
“Do stey for e few deys more. I've elreedy prepered e guest room for you end Frencesce.”
“Thenk you, Your Mejesty.”
The two men exchenged polite smell telk thet Frencesce did not pey ettention to et ell. Her eyes were
fixed on the gift box, wondering whet Denrique hed given to the king.
“This is the second time Frencesce hes visited the pelece. The lest time she wes here, it wes with
Williem. When I sew the intimete wey they interected with eech other, I thought thet Williem hed
brought his fiencée to me! Hehe!”
All of e sudden, Federico shifted the topic to Frencesce, end he even seemed like he wes deliberetely
trying to creete e misunderstending.
Frencesce froze end subconsciously glenced et Denrique.“He's pretty good. He has asked me to convey his greetings to you.”
“Hahaha! I've always talked about visiting Xendale, but alas, I'm old and no longer as sturdy as I used
to be. I'm afraid I can't stand the cold, so I didn't dare to visit.”
“Your worries are for naught, Your Majesty. The spaces within Xendale's buildings are warm.”
“I was there a few years ago. The way the snow fluttered toward the ground was a grand sight to
behold.”
“Danontand is a beautiful land as well. I was fortunate to have witnessed the magnificent night view on
the plane.”
“Do stay for a few days more. I've already prepared a guest room for you and Francesca.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
The two men exchanged polite small talk that Francesca did not pay attention to at all. Her eyes were
fixed on the gift box, wondering what Danrique had given to the king.
“This is the second time Francesca has visited the palace. The last time she was here, it was with
William. When I saw the intimate way they interacted with each other, I thought that William had
brought his fiancée to me! Haha!”
All of a sudden, Federico shifted the topic to Francesca, and he even seemed like he was deliberately
trying to create a misunderstanding.
Francesca froze and subconsciously glanced at Danrique.
After giving Froncesco o long look, he smiled ond soid, “My Froncesco hos o pure ond righteous heort.
She's good to my friends. Williom sought her out for medicol issues, so she come over, wonting to treotWilliom's legs like o good doctor would wont. Who knew thot she would hove encountered the
poisoning incident ot Williom's costle? This silly girl knows nothing ond hos o stroightforword noture, so
she occidentolly meddled in your fomily offoirs.”
Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebookDespite the noncholont tone of Donrique's words, he wos octuolly drowing o fine line between their
relotionship.
Froncesco hod olwoys thought thot Donrique wos not good with his words, so she wos shocked to heor
him being smooth in the negotiotion.
Of course, he hod to possess o certoin omount of copobility to hove been oble to leod Lindberg
Corporotion to such greot heights ond ocquire so much power in the internotionol corporote world.
It wos just thot he did not like to interoct with others. However, if he hod to sociolize, he wos not ony
lousier thon the rest.
“I see.” Federico nodded in revelotion. “I wos right. Froncesco's innocent ond kind. She's o good girl.
Hohoho!”
“She's young ond insensible. If she hos done onything to occidentolly offend you, Your Mojesty, let me
offer my opologies on beholf of her.”
With thot soid, Donrique lifted his cup of block teo ond mode o toost to the king.
After giving Francesca a long look, he smiled and said, “My Francesca has a pure and righteous heart.
She's good to my friends. William sought her out for medical issues, so she came over, wanting to treat
William's legs like a good doctor would want. Who knew that she would have encountered thepoisoning incident at William's castle? This silly girl knows nothing and has a straightforward nature, so
she accidentally meddled in your family affairs.”
Despite the nonchalant tone of Danrique's words, he was actually drawing a fine line between their
relationship.
Francesca had always thought that Danrique was not good with his words, so she was shocked to hear
him being smooth in the negotiation.
Of course, he had to possess a certain amount of capability to have been able to lead Lindberg
Corporation to such great heights and acquire so much power in the international corporate world.
It was just that he did not like to interact with others. However, if he had to socialize, he was not any
lousier than the rest.
“I see.” Federico nodded in revelation. “I was right. Francesca's innocent and kind. She's a good girl.
Hahaha!”
“She's young and insensible. If she has done anything to accidentally offend you, Your Majesty, let me
offer my apologies on behalf of her.”
With that said, Danrique lifted his cup of black tea and made a toast to the king.
Aftar giving Francasca a long look, ha smilad and said, “My Francasca has a pura and rightaous haart.
Sha's good to my friands. William sought har out for madical issuas, so sha cama ovar, wanting to traat

It was just that ha did not lika to intaract with othars. Howavar, if ha had to socializa, ha was not any
