Chapter 274 Madam’s Request
"Dear teachers, students, and parents of Shipbridge Public School, as the 53rd Prime Minister of the Kingdom, I am very honored to be invited by my alma mater to stand here and share some thoughts on education with you."
A middle-aged man who was about the same height as the head teacher of Class 1 and looked a bit potbellied stood on the podium in the center of the auditorium and greeted the teachers and parents in the audience:
“As a Kanbashi student who spent his entire boyhood at Kanbashi Public School and completed his education at Kanbashi University, although it may offend my former teachers, I must admit that Kanbashi Public School is not It's not the top school in the capital.
But the meaning of education to a person is not just the acquisition of knowledge in school. What can really accompany everyone throughout his life is often things other than knowledge, such as..."
When he said this, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom looked at the audience with a smile. When he was about to mention his wife, whom he met on the bridge, and show off his wit and humor, he saw his wife sitting next to his daughter Charlotte, He was having a lively chat with the handsome black-haired young man sitting next to him, and his face suddenly darkened. He immediately skipped the step of adjusting the atmosphere and continued:
“For example, knowledge and understanding of our society.
The teaching quality of the Royal School and Central Public School may be slightly better than that of the bridge, but education is not only for personal success, but also for the progress of society and the common welfare of the people. When it comes to cultivating students in this regard In terms of quality, the Bridge School, which is rooted in the old city, is undoubtedly the best..."
…
"What a wonderful speech."
Feeling the slightly malicious eyes and subconsciously glancing at the middle-aged man talking on the stage, Leon turned back and complimented the Prime Minister's wife beside him:
"You are usually busy with government affairs, but you can also have such unique insights in education. You are worthy of being the Prime Minister."
"Your Excellency, you are exaggerating."
The Prime Minister's wife, who looked to be in her late thirties or seventeen years old, although there were a few crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, was still charming and said with a smile:
“Stephen’s ability in government affairs is naturally very good, but he has been diverted too much energy and is not too involved in the children’s affairs, so he only talks about general things because he is not good at details. ”
"That's enough."
Leon, who was holding Melanie, shook his head when he heard this and said: "As the saying goes, 'The Prime Minister is the rudder and the King is the anchor.' As long as the Prime Minister controls the general direction and determines where the ship of the Kingdom is going, all that remains is to set the sail. Of course, there are people who are better at things like looking out and measuring the ballast water. Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, just needs to be at the helm... That's right."
After completing the polite business exchange, Leon stretched out his hand to touch his shiny cufflinks, pressed the horns reflected in the cufflinks with his fingertips, and asked as if unintentionally: "Mrs. Martha, are you I said before that you want to consult me about something about my 'work'?"
"Yes."
The Prime Minister's wife hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Melanie in Leon's arms.
After noticing the look in the Prime Minister's wife's eyes, Leon smiled, and then handed Melanie over to Anna next to her with a frightened expression.
"Wait! Wait a minute! Brother! I haven't..."
"Melanie!"
He pinched Melanie's ears with lightning speed, then grabbed Melanie's collar with one hand, and lifted her over as she was kicking her two short legs in vain. Anna, who had been holding back for a long time, bit her Teeth said:
"Brother is busy with work, so don't disturb him!"
"I...um!"
I'm sorry. Although Big Brother also wants you to deal with it less, things related to "abnormalities" are too dangerous and really not suitable for you to listen to.
After giving Melanie a helpless look, Leon moved slightly towards the direction of the Prime Minister's wife and said softly: "Mrs. Martha, you can tell me if you have anything to say now."
"Okay, I mainly have two things to ask. The first thing is... I want to ask about the situation of a person in your bureau..."
After biting her lower lip in embarrassment, the Prime Minister's wife leaned into Lyon's ear and said with a blushing face:
"Your Majesty the Duke, do you know a man named Pioni?"
Pioni?
After hearing this name, Leon thought for a moment, and then remembered that he seemed to have seen this name on the door plate of the office diagonally opposite to Senior Jerry. It's just that this senior Pioni seems to be performing some very troublesome long-term mission. Until now, I have never seen him show up in the bureau. The office has always been empty, and the door handle is dusty. .
"You know, you know. Senior Pioni is the second-level crisis manager in the bureau. His office is not far from me..."
After giving a somewhat vague answer, and looking at the Prime Minister's wife who seemed a little embarrassed in front of him, Leon couldn't help blinking, and asked softly with some surprise: "Mrs. Martha, who are you and Senior Pioni... …”
"We...can be considered friends..."
The face of the Prime Minister's wife suddenly turned redder, and she hesitated a little: "It's the kind of... um... very, very good friend, much closer than ordinary friends, the kind who talks about everything. "
"..."
Got it, the kind of good friend who can’t let the Prime Minister know, right?
After seeing a hint of understanding in Leon's eyes, the Prime Minister's wife couldn't bear the topic. She lowered her head and rummaged through her handbag and handed over a letter that seemed to have been written for a long time.
"Your Majesty the Duke, if possible, could you please give this letter to Pioni? Then...then give me a message."
In Lyon's speechless look, the dignified and generous Prime Minister's wife turned her head and whispered with an embarrassed look: "Just say...just say that I will wait at the same place every Monday at noon. he……"
"good……"
After taking the letter and putting it away speechlessly, Li Ang said with a slightly stiff expression:
"What about the second thing?"
"The second thing..."
The Prime Minister's wife hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Can I ask, is there anything in this world that allows someone to pretend to be someone else's relative, but the person involved doesn't notice it at all? Plant something special?”
? !
After hearing the words of the Prime Minister's wife, Leon's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly, and he immediately remembered the photos placed in the mirror world.
This kind of abnormality naturally exists, and the highest-level abnormality currently known is the abnormality created by Director Aquarius using the flesh and blood of the God of Enlightenment as a seed, and using Anna's desire for her family as an inducement [ What if], and this thing happens to be in my hands now!
"Mrs. Martha, why do you ask that?"
Pulling himself together, Leon rubbed the metal cufflinks that he had specially polished to look like mirrors, indicating to Youha inside to get ready, while asking with an unchanging expression: "Could it be... …Do you think any of your relatives have been ‘replaced’?”
"Rather than 'replacing', it's more like having an extra relative for no reason..."
The Prime Minister's wife reached into her arms, took out a silver kite pendant, and then explained softly:
"This is something Pioni gave me, saying it can help me remove the effects of those "things" when I am affected by your 'work content'. But when my niece came to visit some time ago, it was suddenly Activated once."
Leon narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
"So, you suspect that your niece is not your real niece, but that she used some special 'things' to affect your memory and even your family's memory?"
"Yes."
The Prime Minister's wife nodded, and then said with some worry: "I have tried it with words, but in the memories of my husband Stephen and the children, there is always this person named Nicole, even There are also memories of her visiting every year, but there is nothing in my memory..."
"etc!"
When he heard this, Leon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"You just said...what is your niece's name?"
"Nicole, she said her name was Nicole."
