Chapter 264 The surveillance thing was over. Anyway, they had to stop since it would easily arouse suspicion.
However, Cassandra had already suspected it. She tracked the enemy after she finished her work and finally got the information that he was in the Queenâs Palace.
Looking at the IP address on the screen, Cassandra was a little confused. She asked, âWhy do people from Queenâs Palace want to hack into the surveillance system of the Falcon Special Operations Force? What do they want?â
Jeremiah was confused as well and he said, âI donât know. The Falcon Special Operations. Force is just here to complete the Evacuation Operation. Why would someone attack us?â
Cassandra rolled her eyes and said, âHow do I know?â
âI know.â Kenneth also came in. He went to find Cassandra but didnât see her. Someone said that Cassandra had come to the technical team.
He heard them discussing and couldnât help but cut in.
âWhat is it?â
âThe person we met today is Theodore Yates, the Queenâs eldest son, also Harperâs elder brother. Vincent has good hacking skills. I think someone asked him to investigate you.â Otherwise, there was no other explanation.
Cassandra was speechless.
âAre you saying that Harper did all this?â
âItâs possible.â
Kenneth nodded. Suddenly, his phone rang.
âHello?
âYes, sir!
âWeâll arrive on time tomorrow!â
Kenneth hung up the phone helplessly.
âWhat happened?â Cassandra asked.
âThe higher authority ordered me to negotiate with the Queen of Zosteylor tomorrow on behalf of Clusia, and Director Walker will go see Kamila.â
Kenneth frowned. He thought, âTheir civil strife had already hurt innocent people, and now they wonât even let Clusians go.
âWhat exactly do they want to do?â
âJust Director Walker?â Cassandra asked.
âIâll arrange for Yannick to accompany him.â Kenneth looked at Jeremiah and continued, âWhy donât you go with Director Walker to see Kamila as well?â
Cassandra looked at Kenneth.
She thought, âWhat about me?
âJust wait at the camp?â
13 Kenneth seemed to know what Cassandra was thinking and said softly, âYou canât go anywhere now. Youâre the doctor they both want. No matter where you go, you may not be able to come back. Weâre going as ambassadors this time, and we wonât be carrying weapons. So, you stay in the camp, okay?â
Cassandra looked at Kenneth and seemed to want to argue, but she felt that he was right, so she said, âFine, Iâll do as you say.â
At the critical moment, she shouldnât be the one to hold them back.
**
The next day, Kenneth, Kayden, and Kaydenâs secondâinâcommand, Daniel, Yannick, and Jeremiah split into two groups heading for the Queenâs Palace and Kamilaâs camp relatively.
When they reached the Queenâs Palace, they were stopped at the door.
âSorry, but we need to search your body. The Queen is not in good health, so...â A guard said that respectfully. Kenneth showed understanding and let the guards search their bodies.
After confirming that nothing was wrong, the guards let the three of them in.
The gorgeous palace was magnificent. Perhaps because all the previous state leaders were women, traces of pink could be found everywhere in the palace, which wasnât obvious but couldnât be ignored as well.
In the negotiation room, Kenneth and others were sitting aside, waiting for the Queenâs arrival.
When the Queen came in, Kenneth was stunned and called, âCas...â
âNo, she isnât Cassie, he thought.
Although she and Cassandra looked very alike, she was more mature and charming and her face bore the marks of age, while Cassandra was still immature and bright, and most importantly, her face was still quite delicate.
âSorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Zelinski.â The Queen first reached out and shook hands with Kenneth.
Seeing this, Kenneth reached out his hand and gently shook hands with the Queen.
âPlease have a seat.â
Kenneth was still in shock. Her smile was quite like Cassandraâs as well, and he could even imagine what Cassandra would look like after she turned 50.
It was so real.
He thought, âWho is the Queen exactly?â
O âMr. Zelinski, Mr. Zelinski?â The Queen called Kenneth twice. Kayden patted Kennethâs back worriedly, and Kenneth finally came to his senses.
âIâm sorry.â Kenneth nodded and said, âYour Majesty, youâre just so much like a friend of mine. I thought I saw her. Iâm so sorry for being rude.â
Kenneth suppressed his doubts and planned to wait for the explanation to come.
âIt doesnât matter. Itâs rare to meet a person who looks like your friend in this world.â The Queen said with understanding.
âYes, Your Majesty.â
âLetâs get down to business.â After the brief interlude, Kenneth focused himself on the negotiation.
*****
After several hours of discussion, although there was no final answer, the Queen had already wavered.
Then, Kenneth decided to give a more specific Evacuation Operation plan and wait for the Queen to make the decision and draft it, and then let Zosteylorâs armies escort their Clusians.
âThank you, Your Majesty. This has been of great help to our Evacuation Operation.â Kenneth showed his gratitude without hesitation.
âItâs Clusia who helps us a lot...â The Queen looked at the three of them and went on gently, âIf you donât mind, you can have dinner here before going back.â
Kenneth looked at Kayden and his second in command. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, he agreed.
During dinner, the Queen suddenly asked, âMr. Zelinski, your friend who looks very like me, where is she from? How old is she now?â
She thought, âCould it be my daughter?
+5 âDaughters look like mothers, donât they?â
Kenneth looked at the Queenâs expression. She seemed to have mixed feelings, including inquiry and expectation, but more of it was guilt.
With this awareness, Kenneth didnât tell the truth. âSheâs from Drieso. Sheâs 20 now and very cute.â
Except for adding Cassandraâs age, he was telling the truth:
years old The Queen withdrew her eyes in disappointment. She thought, âHer age is wrong, so she shouldnât be the person Iâm looking for.
âBut even if she is, she shouldnât come here at this time. How could she stand such chaos?â
Kenneth pretended not to understand her emotions and asked curiously, âWhy did you ask that, Your Majesty?â
âI thought she would be my daughter...â However, she didnât have the right age.
âOh? You have a daughter, Your Majesty? How old is she? Where is she now?â Kenneth asked, snorting coldly in his heart. If he was right, Cassandra was the daughter of the Queen.
He thought, âSo why do they have to let Cassie suffer for 18 years when they have such a happy family?â
âSheâs 18 years old, but as for where she is...â The Queen sighed and continued, âI donât know.â
She didnât even know whether her daughter was alive or dead now.
Kenneth asked, âDid you guys get separated?â
The Queenâs face suddenly darkened as if she had thought of something unpleasant, and her breathing became rapid.
âDoctor, doctor!â
