Tonight, when Maka arrives at the British Royal Manor again with Kingsley and Delphi, babley, who is bound to wait in the lobby in recent days, rarely appears.
To be honest, although so far, babley may feel that Maka doesn't care much about her own existence at all. After all, Maka has made it clear from the beginning that his success is only an "accident".
But in fact, Maka paid more attention to him than he thought. It was only because of a series of reasons that he didn't get too close to him.
Otherwise, after the magic that Maka would not sleep in his body woke up, he said to him through soul magic that "as long as you can master this power, you will have the right to think for yourself" and other words like encouragement, reminder and warning.
Just now, when passing by the hall, Maka found out babley's absence for the first time.
"... Mr. McLean?" seeing that Marca didn't speak after sitting down, the queen asked, "are five people selected as usual for the experiment today?"
Hearing the other party's question, Maka put aside the fact that she didn't see babley for the time being and gently shook her head.
"No, I didn't bring the reagent this time," he said. "In fact, I'm going to say something to her Majesty tonight. Well... I think you've got the news, queen? That's the transfer of the fog from Kent to London."
"Oh, yes," said the queen, nodding slightly, and then probing with extra sensitivity, "does it say... Does this have anything to do with you, Mr. McLean?"
Faced with the Queen's question, Maka did not deny it, but nodded again readily.
"Combined with some other situations, I think this unusual change is mostly an invitation from halbo to me. And it's about this... Your majesty, I know you sent an army there. So I must remind you first -"
After emphasizing this sentence, Maka continued:
"Don't get too close, let alone easily mobilize the garrison to do some very dangerous things! Because there are a number of enemies who are very bad for you in the fog."
"Are they... Following the movement of the fog? Just like when they attacked Canterbury?"
"No, because Haier Bo himself is probably hiding in the fog this time, so the degree of danger is definitely much higher than you think -"
One of the reasons for Maka's trip is to make the royal family feel more at ease when she meets halebo in London. So he was going to go on with the topic.
But unexpectedly, at this time, someone outside suddenly knocked on the door of the hall, so that Maka and the queen had to temporarily stop the conversation.
After nodding to Maka, the queen raised her voice slightly towards the door:
"Open the door."
She didn't immediately call someone in, but she didn't directly ask who the visitor was here - she had let the guards out in advance, and as a queen, it was obviously an unseemly act to ask questions at a high voice from a distance.
"Mother, Mr. McLean..."
Soon, the guard outside opened the hall door, and they saw that the prince and babley, who Maka had not seen today, appeared at the door of the hall.
Maybe it was because the queen hadn't said to let them in. They only stood outside the door and saluted one after another.
Then the prince apologized:
"I'm sorry, just now I was asking Bob ray about the feeling of using magic. I talked for a long time without paying attention. After that, he and I hurried to the basement. Unexpectedly, when we got there, only the guards were there... If I hadn't thought that I didn't receive the news that Mr. McClane wouldn't come today, I asked the guard by the way, there might be a longer delay ... Oh, Mr. McLean, I'm really sorry! "
The prince's words began with an apology and then ended with an apology. There was a smile on his face from beginning to end. It can be said that it was quite appropriate. For others, perhaps even if it is not "like a spring breeze", it is enough to make most people feel good about him.
However, Maka listened to him, but her eyes remained on babley behind her all the time.
It can be seen that the latter, whether in expression or posture, has a subtle feeling.
If we have to find an example to compare... It may be like an innocent hostage secretly coerced by bandits, forced to pretend to be calm in front of people, but he is extremely eager to be seen.
Maka, who had paid attention to the prince, just looked so far for a while, and soon understood what had happened.
As for the queen... Maka felt that she, who was equally intelligent, must have noticed the abnormality.
However, the queen and Maka did not show any difference for the time being.
The queen immediately said to her son:
"Then come in!"
Before the words were finished, the prince entered the hall with babley, who was one step behind him. Then, the prince sat directly next to the queen as usual, and babley naturally stood behind their sofa first.
As soon as he took his seat, the prince spoke again.
"Mother, Mr. McLean - what about today's experiment?" he said, glancing at several corners of the hall, as if looking for the experimenter who should have existed. "Has it not started... Or is it over?"
"The latest reagent has not been completed, so there is no experiment tonight," Maka shook her head calmly. "But the daily test of babre will still be carried out as usual. Only before that, I would like to have a few words with her majesty before the test."
"Oh, that's right!" the prince nodded immediately after hearing this. "Please go on. Don't care about my existence. I just came to watch as usual."
"OK."
Maka responded normally, and then talked to the queen about what the Muggle Royal side might need or don't need next. When he had finished what he should have said, he waved his hand directly to babrello, who was standing behind the sofa opposite.
"Let's go! Just like a few days ago, go to the hillside open space behind the manor."
As soon as she finished, Maka disappeared from the sofa first, and Kingsley soon left with Delphi's entourage to the backyard.
