Chapter 1174 Green Living Room

Windsor Station is only a 10-minute walk from Windsor Castle, but the royal family is the royal family after all, and they are on vacation, so according to tradition, they must take the royal carriage.

Although it is not a golden carriage, each of the royal carriages is made of luxurious materials and looks retro in design. In fact, it is equipped with hydraulic brakes, shock absorbers, and solid rubber tires.

The carriage was moving slowly, and Vincent was also walking slowly towards the castle.

His sudden intrusion made the Royal Guards nervous instantly, as they still remembered the attack on Prince Charles last year. But before they could take action, Kingsley, who was responsible for secretly protecting the Queen, showed up.

There were two figures, one black and one white. If the guards had not been concerned about the royal carriage, they would have opened fire.

Kingsley didn't dare approach rashly, even though he knew Vincent was standing in front of the castle gate.

The guards quickly surrounded the two men, but something strange happened. They all stood still and kept moving forward.

Kingsley couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

The masked Vincent gave him a very unfamiliar feeling. He was no longer the polite Hogwarts student, but a genuine powerful figure in the wizarding world.

"Long time no see, Mr. Shacklebolt."

Vincent's words broke the silence, and Kingsley smiled bitterly. "Yes, I still remember those blows you used, especially the one you used on Dawlish."

"I didn't expect this." Vincent snapped his fingers lightly, sending the guards into a deep sleep. "Let's get down to business. I'm here to see the Queen."

Kingsley glanced quickly at his robes, where his wand lay hidden.

"I'm sorry, it's my duty."

"clear."

The wand drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and Vincent reached out to catch it. "I won't take up too much time."

After saying this, he walked straight past Kingsley and headed towards the royal carriage parked in the middle of the road.

The double doors of the carriage were opened from the inside, and she got out with a gentle smile.

She was a very elegant old woman. She was not as frightened as the royal members in the carriage. She just waited quietly for the other party to arrive.

Vincent stopped and kept a relatively safe distance from her.

He took off the mask on his face and bowed to her, "Your Majesty, I mean no harm."

The Queen was a little surprised. She didn't expect it to be a young man.

She smiled gently, yet exuded a majestic aura. "Hello, respected Mr. Wizard. I assume you must have something important to tell me that prompted you to come here?"

When facing a wizard of unknown origin, the Queen used "I", a self-reference used in informal occasions or daily communication, which not only showed her approachability but also avoided appearing superior.

Vincent glanced at the fallen guards behind him with an apologetic look, "Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness. My identity is somewhat sensitive and it is not appropriate for me to appear in public."

He snapped his fingers again, and the sleeping guards began to wake up one after another.

After some thought, the Queen suddenly realized what was going on. Her eyes were filled with a hint of caution. "It turned out to be Mr. Vincent Wayne."

Vincent looked surprised, "Your Majesty, you know me?"

"Your Excellency is so young, and there is only one well-known wizard in the wizarding world that I can think of."

The Queen, like a kind old woman, gently waved to the guards who came over and said, "Mr. Wayne is my guest. You must not be rude."

The guards retreated, but they all stared at Vincent vigilantly. If he did anything out of line, they would take action immediately.

The Queen took the initiative to come to Vincent and said, "Sir, why don't you move to my palace?"

"It is an honor, Your Majesty."

The castle gate slowly opened, and Vincent returned the wand as he passed Kingsley.

This scene added a lot of favor to the Queen.

She had met many wizards, and they were either as taciturn as Kingsley, or as unpredictable as air.

But Vincent gave her a very different feeling. She herself was a very friendly person. Regardless of his appearance and image, she could clearly feel the same affinity in Vincent.

So, she made an exception and took the initiative to invite a wizard. There is a reason why the British royal family is so popular in the world.

Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace are both royal palaces. Although their decoration styles are somewhat similar, the paintings and artworks in the former are placed more casually, while the latter is too formal and always feels like an office.

The Queen received Vincent in the recently rebuilt Green Drawing Room in the heart of the castle.

A fire in 1992 caused serious damage to the place, but after three years of reconstruction, it has been perfectly restored to its original magnificent and elegant appearance.

The entrance to the green living room is a spacious central staircase with an open space and a symmetrical design.

The roof is designed with glass inlays, the walls are covered with dark green velvet wall cloth with gold embroidery details, and the walls on both sides are displayed with replicas of armor of monarchs of past dynasties, highlighting the historical weight of the royal family.

If it weren't for the TV that was almost integrated into the tapestry, Vincent would really have mistakenly thought he had traveled to some important historical moment.

Suddenly, he smiled slightly.

The Green Drawing Room is an important reception venue for the royal family. He should be the first wizard to be invited to the Green Drawing Room by the Queen as an exception. It is indeed an important historical moment.

"Sir Wayne—" The royal attendant looked at him with a hint of fear, "Do you need anything?"

Vincent shook his head slightly and, under her guidance, sat on a retro and luxurious sofa. Opposite him was the amiable queen.

The attendants had already prepared a sumptuous tea. Vincent sipped the tea casually and said, "Your Majesty, I don't like to beat around the bush. Please forgive me."

The queen smiled and nodded, indicating that it was okay.

The royal servants have a strict hierarchical system and are only loyal to the royal members they serve. Vincent is not worried that they will leak secrets.

"Your Majesty, I am a Muggle-born wizard. By combining magic and technology, I have invented many epoch-making products."

The Queen nodded slightly. "When His Excellency Albus Dumbledore visited me a few years ago, he gave me a set of Gwent cards. He said it was a great invention by the best student in his school."

Old Deng actually knows the Queen?

But this is not surprising. The Queen experienced historical turmoil such as the Great Depression and World War II since her childhood. In 1945, at the age of 18, she joined the British Women's Auxiliary Corps (ATS) and was gradually promoted to the rank of honorary brigadier-general. At that time, Dumbledore joined the Muggle army to fight against Grindelwald, and they must have known each other.

Now that I know Dumbledore, things will be much easier.

Vincent put away his smile and said seriously, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to interrupt your precious vacation time. I would like to ask you for a favor. Let's unite the countries around the world to research controlled nuclear fusion."
