Chapter 1397 Her Relationship With the Bleus
Eurosia wasn't very far from Mastar. In fact, it took only seven hours to fly between them.
It was already 3.00PM when they arrived in Eurosia. Albert seemed to have informed those
in Eurosia of their arrival, for as soon as they got off the plane, somebody came to pick
them up. They got into a black limousine, which took them to Albert's residence.
As a matter of fact, Eurosia was similar in size to Nambahd, but it seemed more developed
due to its abundant oil resources. Even Albert's residence was more luxurious than the
Nambahd Palace.
At the sight of the residence, Olivia and Eugene exchanged a brief look. It wasn't like they
had never seen the world before, especially Olivia, who used to be a frequent visitor to the
Eurosian Royal Palace back then. Still, after all these years, they were blown away by what
they saw before them. Majestic and magnificent, the entire residence was estimated to
cover an area of over 10,000 square meters. It was obvious at a glance that this was the
home of an aristocrat.
As soon as its heavy gate was pushed open, the glittering estate came into view. Even its
arched windows and stone-built corners exuded elegance and luxury. The circular
fountain, cobblestone pathways, and well-arranged flowers and plants made the whole

As soon as they entered, they were greeted by guards dressed in identical uniforms, who
came over to salute them. Their expressions solemn, they stood guard every several feet
and were so heavily armed that not even a fly could sneak in between them.
Olivia couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was only upon entering this residence that she
truly witnessed the ultimate in worldly extravagance.
Eurosia wasn't very far from Mastar. In fact, it took only seven hours to fly between them.
Albert politely let them into the house before ordering the servants to start making
preparations for dinner.
Olivia stopped looking around, mainly because she didn't want to appear as though she
hadn't seen much of the world. She casually replied, "You don't have to stand on
ceremony with us. We're here to see the patient, so please make the arrangements so
that we can cure the patient and go home as soon as possible."
Albert responded, "Yes, I understand. That being said, you two have had a long flight
today, so why don't you have a good rest tonight? Tomorrow, I'll have an audience with
Her Majesty, the Queen, since Her Majesty's approval is necessary for this matter. In the
afternoon, we'll visit the Governor General's residence to get my godmother treated for
her illness."
Olivia replied, "Well then, you make the arrangements. As you know, we can't be away for
too long."
Albert said, "I know that." With that, he ordered his servants to prepare three guest rooms.
"All of you are my friends, so you're welcome to stay here at my place."
Olivia agreed; she wasn't too picky about where she stayed.
Eugene, on the other hand, was choosy, but he was absolutely staying with his wife.
Naturally, he raised no objections when she agreed.
Soon after that, dinner was ready. The large dining table was filled with a wide variety of
dishes, which probably totaled several dozen. Servants stood by in silence, serving them
at the table.
Olivia couldn't help but feel uncomfortable eating at this place. With people serving close
by, it felt like they couldn't even make a sound while eating.
On the contrary, Eugene seemed able to make himself at home wherever he went. He was
a well-mannered gentleman, and it was evident that he had received professional training
in this regard. While taking care of Olivia, he occasionally made small talk with Albert.
Albert also did his best to lavish them with hospitality, raising his glass to toast them from

fruit juice.
After dinner, Albert offered to take them on a tour of his residence, so Eugene and Olivia
followed him outside for a walk.
At night, lights illuminated the residence, making the courtyard look even more dazzling
and beautiful. No wonder every girl yearns for a prince living in a castle. That's because
they're attracted not only to the prince but also to his castle, thought Olivia, amusing
herself by letting her imagination run wild.
Albert's residence was indeed huge, for they spent over an hour exploring the place
before returning.
Albert took the initiative to bring up the subject of Doreen. "My godmother has had a
difficult life. She never got married and devoted all her attention to Her Majesty, the
Queen, and me. Without her, Eurosia wouldn't have been what it is today, and my sister
and I wouldn't have become who we are now. She's second only to my mother in terms of
importance."
Olivia asked, "Is Queen Alice really your own sister?"
Albert replied, "Yes."
Olivia then asked with a frown, "So Blanchett is also your own mother?"
