The banquet hall, mirroring the Royal Family Banquet of previous days, saw Queen Renaldi hosting leaders from several neighboring countries and their children with the same level of grandeur.
However, unlike before, the area next to the banquet hall, usually reserved for dancing, had been transformed into a small indoor playground.
Various playful amusement facilities frequently drew the gaze of the young princesses and princes during the meal.
"I have good news to share with everyone: Genovia has found its heir—Princess Mia."
After the meal, Queen Renaldi tapped her wine glass to attract everyone's attention and informed the leaders of other small countries about Mia's identity.
For a small hereditary country to enjoy long-term peace and stability, the issue of an heir is a crucial indicator. It signifies the possibility of the country's long-term continuity.
"The amusement facilities next to us are gifts prepared by Mia and her friend Mike for all the princesses and princes..."
Queen Renaldi smiled as she explained the origin of the indoor playground to everyone.
At the same time, Princess Mia stood up with Mike's accompaniment and nodded to the leaders of neighboring countries.
With this, the girl thoroughly solidified her identity as Genovia's heir.
On the other side, hearing that the indoor playground was specially prepared for them, the princesses and princes of various countries all looked expectantly at their parents.
This group of princesses and princes were all young; the youngest was only five or six years old, and the oldest was only fourteen or fifteen—all at the age where they loved to play.
After receiving nodding permission from their parents, the group of children cheered and rushed towards the amusement facilities.
"Mia, go take care of them; don't let them hurt themselves."
Hearing the children's cheers, a smile appeared on Queen Renaldi's face. She immediately sent Mia to watch over the group of children.
Of course, this was also a good opportunity for Mia to build good relationships with the heirs of other countries.
It has to be said that the heirs of these neighboring small countries evidently had very good family education, but having not traveled far outside their countries, their horizons and knowledge were much lacking.
At this moment, they were watching the indoor amusement facilities like curious babies.
Here, Mia pulled Mike towards those princesses and princes.
Before long, happier laughter from the children came from various amusement facilities.
Especially the water amusement facility heated by internal circulation, which was even more popular with the children.
Watching their children playing happily, the leaders of various countries in the banquet hall also wore warm expressions on their faces.
Time flew, and three days passed.
During this period, Queen Renaldi and the leaders of other neighboring countries once again tacitly established an "alliance agreement".
And on Princess Mia's side, she lived up to expectations and took the heirs of other small countries to have fun for three days.
Besides the indoor playground, the girl and Mike also took these children to the equestrian field and archery range to experience the fun of primitive games.
At the time of parting, Mia also took out some portable indoor amusement facilities and gave them to those princesses and princes, thereby winning more friendship from those heirs.
At this point, whether in terms of identity or ability, Mia had indisputably become a "qualified" princess.
"Mia, you performed very well in the reception work this time. Next, you can continue to enjoy your own beautiful life. Grandma can still look after Genovia for a few more years..."
In the study, Queen Renaldi spoke intimately with her granddaughter like a kind grandmother.
With the end of the Royal Family Banquet and the neighboring countries' exchange meeting, Mia had over-fulfilled her task.
The cheerful Queen Renaldi, while satisfied with her granddaughter, also gave her the maximum "freedom".
The Queen, who was once young herself, knew that Genovia shouldn't become a cage imprisoning her granddaughter.
"Grandma, actually I can stay, just like father did, to help you build Genovia well."
The more she understood Genovia's current situation, the more Mia felt a sense of mission towards this backward small country.
Although reluctant to be separated from Mike, for her country, the girl was willing to pay some price.
Even if this price was her lifelong happiness.
"I'm not senile yet; I don't need you to worry for me..."
Queen Renaldi saw that her granddaughter didn't mean what she said, and her expression became even kinder: "Go, go enjoy your youth. Next time you come back, it's best to bring Mike back too. I can see that he is a very nice young man."
During this time, Mike's busy behavior of giving advice to Mia also won a lot of goodwill from the Queen.
If possible, the Queen would be happy to see her granddaughter and Mike become a couple.
"Alright, I'll try my best..."
Talking about her lifelong happiness, Mia wavered as expected.
The next day, watched by Queen Renaldi, Mr. Joe, and others, Mia and Mike boarded the return private plane.
It is worth mentioning that to ensure Princess Mia's royal study progress and quality of life, Queen Renaldi's personal secretary and private maid team also accompanied her this time.
After more than two hours of high-altitude flight, Mia and her party arrived in the small town of Medford.
Mia and her mother Helen also upgraded this time, moving from the old district before to the luxury villa left by Queen Renaldi here.
In the large independent bedroom, Mia, in a messy princess outfit, wiped the traces from the corner of her mouth while glaring at Mike reproachfully.
She didn't know what madness this man had today; when doing the deed, he insisted she wear the princess dress and put on that princess laurel crown.
"Mia, rest well. I'll come to find you tomorrow when I'm free."
The neatly dressed Mike bid farewell to the girl guiltily and quickly left the room.
Mia's current miserable state wasn't entirely Mike's fault; having held back for several days, it was indeed hard for him to control his strength just now.
Moreover, the girl's current noble identity also gave Mike an inexplicable sense of conquest.
"Hmph~"
In the living room, Amy, responsible for protecting the princess's safety, saw Mike rushing out and issued a dissatisfied protest.
This Amy was less than 1.6 meters tall; looking at her appearance alone, she was a proper big-eyed legal loli. But those familiar with her knew that inside this cute girl's small body was energy unmatched by ordinary people.
Proficient in various fighting techniques and firearms, she was Queen Renaldi's personal maid. Her work for the Queen was somewhat similar to Mr. Joe's.
Beside the girl, Alan, with a pair of incredible long legs, over 1.8 meters tall, and wearing a professional secretary outfit, had no reaction to Mike's appearance.
This Ms. Alan was previously Queen Renaldi's private secretary. Coming to the town of Medford was precisely to help Princess Mia learn about kingdom management matters.
"Aunt Helen, it's getting late, I'll go back first. I'll come to see you when I'm free."
Mike could ignore the two girls in the room, but he couldn't ignore Aunt Helen sitting on the sofa with a faint smile.
After all, being caught by the "mother-in-law" outside the door was somewhat awkward.
"Uh-huh, go ahead~"
As someone who had been there, Helen didn't deliberately make things difficult for Mike. However, the moment Mike left the villa, she couldn't help teasing: "Remember to keep the noise down next time you come to play; Mia's voice is almost hoarse from shouting."
It must be said, Ms. Helen is indeed worthy of being in the arts; when being sarcastic, she dares to say anything.
