Chapter 2531
As Nathan wondered about the identity of the young lady who spied on him earlier, Colin walked over.
Noticing the mystification in Nathan's eyes, he couldn't help asking softly, "What's wrong, sir?"
Instead of admitting that someone was spying on him just now, Nathan merely shook his head and replied placidly, "Everything's fine." At that very moment, a beautiful Remdikian lady in a princess gown was frantically making her escape with two female attendants.
All of a sudden, a young man in Remdikian military uniform appeared before them and blocked their path.
The man in the military uniform was none other than the favorite subordinate of Gammon the Great and the rising star in the military, Dante. Dante stopped the lady and deferentially saluted her before remarking, "I've been searching for you for a long time, Your Royal Highness, Princess Sofie. Why are you here?"
It turned out that the beautiful lady was Gammon's youngest daughter, Sofie. She was also the princess of Remdik.
In fact, she was most favored by Gammon among the many princesses.
She heard that Eurasia's Chief Military Governor would be visiting that day and that he was exceedingly mysterious, so much so that few had even beheld his true countenance, for he usually wore a mask whenever he attended any functions.
Out of curiosity, she brought along two attendants and went to his temporary quarters to steal a peek at him. Unexpectedly, she saw him without his mask.
At that time, he was sitting on a bench, smoking. As the moonlight hit him, he was enshrouded in a mixture of light and shadows.
Although she could only see half of his face, she was already shocked to the core.
She initially thought that Eurasia's Chief Military Governor would be an elderly man in his twilight years, but he turned out to be a young man who only appeared to be in his thirties.
That aside, he was even handsome
beyond words.
His thoughtful expression when he was smoking, in particular, had her heart skipping a beat.
She only managed to catch a glimpse of him before she almost got discovered. Thus, she hurriedly bolted with her attendants.
As she was then stopped by Dante and asked about the reason she was there, the crimson shade on her face deepened.
Forcing herself to calm down, she tried her best to put on a nonchalant expression. "I've got nothing to do, so I'm taking a stroll," she answered crisply.
Then, she asked, "Why, is something the matter that you're looking for me, General Dante?"
Upon hearing that, Dante swiftly replied, "President Gammon would like to see you, Your Royal Highness. As such, I'm here to escort you."
When Sofie heard that her father wanted to see her, she nodded and murmured, “Okay, I got it."
After saying that, she headed toward Gammon's study room confidently with her attendants in tow.
Shortly after, she arrived at her father's study room.
Gammon was presently resting in the study room after a meeting with the elders from the Remdik Elders Association and a group of important generals from the military department.
"Father!"Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"You're here, Sofie? Come and have a sit. 1 want to discuss something with you."
Subsequently, Sofie sat down docilely.
Smiling, Gammon remarked, "Didn't you say that you'd like to study abroad back then? I summoned you over tonight to ask you which country you'd like to go to."
"I haven't decided yet. I want to go to Ariarica, which has a highly developed economy, but at the same time, I also want to go to Eurasia, which has an ancient civilization. I'm in quite a dilemma right now," Sofie admitted with a sheepish chuckle.
"All right, then. Tell me when you've made up your mind. I'll make the arrangements for you," Gammon promised indulgently.
"Thank you, Father!"
Clocking a trace of weariness on her father's countenance, Sofie couldn't help inquiring, “Father, you seem to look rather tired. Have you encountered a problem of some sort?"

Sofie listened solemnly and finally understood the purpose of Eurasia's Chief Military Governor's visit.
“Right now, the elders and our generals are arguing unceasingly. Some think that we should strengthen our collaboration with Eurasia and join the military exercise to go against Ariarica. However, some feel that our relationship with Ariarica is already very tense, and there's no need for us to offend them further for Eurasia's sake," Gammon expounded conflictedly.
"What do you think, Father?" Sofie queried.
Gammon kept no secrets from his beloved daughter, so he confessed plainly, "I can't quite make up my mind, so I'm having a headache! While I want to strengthen our collaboration with Eurasia, I don't have much understanding of this Chief Military Governor of Eurasia. I have no idea about his capabilities and trustworthiness."
After taking a gander at the young and handsome Chief Military Governor of Eurasia earlier, Sofie was likewise curious about the man's capabilities. Is he an outstanding man with real capabilities? Or is he merely a worthless man with a resounding title?

Likewise, Sofie added with a smile, "If he's capable, then I'll go to Eurasia to further my studies. Conversely, I'll go to Ariarica if he's merely average. It all depends on his performance tomorrow."
