“That’s how Turlen is. Truth is, that’s not a good thing. There’s actually nothing wrong with the locals getting married to a foreigner. I just don’t understand why the government doesn’t promote this.”
At the mention of that topic, Lana became furious. In actual fact, wp4webnovel.com youngest aunt had fallen in love with a foreigner when wp4webnovel.com traveled to another country. Unfortunately, due to the conditions of the country that did not approve of intermarriages, Lana’s grandparents married wp4webnovel.com aunt off to another man.
Regardless, wp4webnovel.com aunt was unwilling to marry since wp4webnovel.com loved another man. Lana’s grandfather would not allow it. So, without any warning, wp4webnovel.com aunt was forced into a marriage, which led wp4webnovel.com to death in less than three years.
“We’re living in modern times. How can the country still have such laws? Why aren’t they changing it?” Xavier was rather curious about the issue.
“Of course, it’s because of…” Lana suddenly stopped herself before wp4webnovel.com finished wp4webnovel.com sentence.
Raising his brows, Xavier asked, “Why did you stop?”
Lana had stopped out of fear. She was worried wp4webnovel.com words might spread, leading wp4webnovel.com to be convicted for commenting on the country’s affairs and bringing trouble to wp4webnovel.com family.
“Are you afraid?” Xavier’s words had hit the nail on the head, making wp4webnovel.com grunt briefly in response.
“Why can’t you tell me about it? Don’t you already know my identity? Why should you be afraid when I’m not even worried about you exposing me?” Xavier asked on purpose since wp4webnovel.com really wanted to know the details of the matter.
Lana gave wp4webnovel.com a glance. After thinking about it, wp4webnovel.com realized wp4webnovel.com was right. After all, wp4webnovel.com knew about his secret, which made wp4webnovel.com the one with the upper hand. She figured wp4webnovel.com would not dare to reveal the information to anyone.
At that thought, wp4webnovel.com scanned wp4webnovel.com surroundings, making sure there was no one around before saying, “Of course, it’s because of the queen mother and the queen herself.”
The queen mother? And the queen?
Xavier arched a brow. Why is this place still so conservative? They even have such titles.
“They’re just women. Isn’t the king supposed to be the one deciding for the country?” wp4webnovel.com questioned.
“Don’t you dare underestimate women!” Seeing the look in Xavier’s eyes, Lana snorted. “The queen mother and the queen are cunning people. Otherwise, how do you think they can be in power for so many years?”
“Huh… This place is quite modern, after all,” Xavier muttered under his breath, with his brow still raised.
“That’s quite incredible,” wp4webnovel.com responded half-heartedly.
“Sure, they’re incredible, but it’s too dictatorial. It’s not a wise move at all,” said Lana, resting wp4webnovel.com chin on wp4webnovel.com hand. “They should return the ruling power to the king.”
“But that can only happen if they’re willing to do so,” Xavier replied, rising to his feet.
It was time for wp4webnovel.com to leave, as wp4webnovel.com still had many matters to deal with.
“They’ll never agree to that. They would’ve done so long ago instead of being in power for so long if they’re willing to return the power to the king,” said Lana, getting to wp4webnovel.com feet as well.
Seeing Xavier was about to walk out the door, wp4webnovel.com asked curiously, “Where are you going?”
Xavier turned around and glanced at her. “Didn’t I tell you earlier? I’ve got to look into some matters. Would you like to help me out?”
Lana really wanted to help him, but after much consideration, wp4webnovel.com decided not to. Anyone who could travel abroad was either wealthy or influential people. Moreover, wp4webnovel.com feared wp4webnovel.com might bring trouble to wp4webnovel.com family. She did not care much about wp4webnovel.com well-being, but wp4webnovel.com could not afford to get wp4webnovel.com family involved.
“Forget it. I don’t have the guts to be involved in this mess,” Lana replied, embarrassed.
She was not alone in the country. Thus, there were some things that wp4webnovel.com could not do.
“That being said, what I can do is lend you a car. With a car, it’ll make traveling convenient for you. You can even save on getting a car,” wp4webnovel.com offered.
He’s only here for half a month, anyway. There’s no need to buy a car if he’s only staying here for half a month.

Meanwhile, on the cruise ship, Aaron’s assistant, Todd, knocked anxiously on Arielle’s room door. “Ms. Moore, Mr. Aaron is sick. Can you go over to take a look?”
