Chapter 278 Preparatory work
The art gallery’s inauguration ceremony was held during the Art Week.
The art competition for the opening commemoration was also held, and the results of the competition will be announced at the same time. In addition, the name of the final judge of the competition is Euphemia *L* Britain, the third princess of the British Empire.
In this way, the artistic nature of the work has nothing to do with the grand prize, so the name of Euphemia, who is the deputy governor of District 11, appears here - that is, there is a relationship between the Governor's Office of District 11 and the opening of the Art Gallery.
This is just a means of external publicity, which means that cultural revitalization is just a political show.
On the table in the preparation room were placed on the schedule and venue map, and the broadcaster and Euphemia had a final talk on the ceremony.
And beside her was Andre Dalton, chief of staff of the ruling army in District 11.
Of course, this kind of thing was not originally the work of Dalton. Now, the Governor of District 11, Cornelia L. Britain, has left the Tokyo Concession. It is precisely because of her departure that Dalton's assistant has become the girl in a dress that is adorable.
He was ordered by Cornelia that in order to prevent an unexpected incident, he must protect Euphemia as much as possible and advise her. If Euphemia had his own knights and guards, he would not have to do this work, but it would be useless to say this now.
However, Dalton was not disgusted with this task itself, not only did he not disgusted, but rather liked it very much. Although he was quite disrespectful to say this, he always felt that his father was protecting his cute little daughter.
Dalton had a deep friendship with the sisters of Cornelia and Euphemia. In the past, Dalton had served as the guard knight mission of the sisters' mothers leaving the palace. Since then, he has known the two very well.
Not inferior to the boy's brave Princess Cone and the cheerful and kind Princess Eupie, he often sees scenes of them having fun in the courtyard of the palace. Because their father is the emperor, they cannot contact their father like ordinary fathers and daughters.
Perhaps because of this reason, they became close to Dalton, who was close to his father. He taught Cornelia's swordsmanship and took Euphemia to play horse riding games. They had spent such days.
Time flies, and both of them have grown up, one becomes the governor of District 11, and the other becomes the deputy governor. But in Dalton's mind, it is still hard to forget the figure of the two sisters playing in the courtyard of the palace.
——Time flies so fast.
Dalton, who was standing next to Euphemia, glanced at the side of the princess and suddenly thought of this sentence. The little Euphemhem has grown into the deputy governor of District 11 and has a very good job. She is no longer the childish little girl.
Dalton was worried about the gloom on Euphemia's face. She was not in a bad mood, but why did Euphemia not have any vitality and her tone was very low during the negotiations with the person in charge.
——What's going on?
The results of the art competition will be announced at the opening ceremony. The winner is Euphemia. But as for which painting will become the winning work, the decision is not in the hands of Euphemia.
It has been decided that it was the work of a son of a great noble family. This painting was destined to win an award before Euphemia saw the work he applied for. In other words, now it is just a formality. By the way, the great nobleman donated a lot of funds when the art gallery was established.
In fact, this kind of thing is simply common. Originally, this competition was not based on artistic value to judge the quality of the work, so there was nothing to be investigated. But in Euphemia's opinion, the part she could not agree with still accounts for the majority.
Although she has a full understanding of this kind of political performance, this time, these people did it for granted because the banner they used was Euphemia herself. From this point of view, even Dalton felt that it was a bit intolerable.
Although I understand the whole incident, is this a bit too rude to His Royal Highness?
On the other side, the Black Knights are nervously debugging the second style of Red Lotus.
"I'm so troublesome! I'll just stuff it all in! I don't have much time to attack!"
In the cabin of Knightmare, I saw the maintenance staff slowly tidying up Honglian Ershi, and Yucheng, who was standing aside, was urging him anxiously.
"Please be careful!"
Suddenly, a mature female voice with a slightly angry tone interrupted Yucheng's yelling at the maintenance team.
Hearing a sound that he had never heard before, Jade City and the maintenance staff of the Black Knights looked over together, and saw a woman with a Central Asian skin in a white research suit and two researchers with the same assistants entered their sight.
"It is made a hundred times more precise than you!"
The woman in the lead has long silver-gray wavy hair, which looks very mature and full of the charm of a mature woman.
Wearing a white research suit, she seemed to be a scientific researcher. However, the exquisite smoke gun on her hand and the red navel-open shirt outfit gave her a strange temperament.
If you really want to say it, it will feel the same as those middle-aged uncles.
"Who are you!"
Yucheng, who was looking at the other party, heard the other party's tone that was similar to blame, and asked back with some anger.
"It's the mother of that child!"
Looking up at the second style of Honglian, the mature female researcher replied.
"It seems to be catching up!"
At this moment, ZERO, who was carrying a mask and a cloak, walked out from behind.
"You are ZERO? Please take care of me. I have heard a lot of rumors about you."
"Each one another, Lakshata Chara! I used to read about you online."
The person who came was Knightmare manufacturing expert Lakshata Chara, who was sent from Kyoto. He was a technician from the Indian Military Region (India is a territory of the Chinese Federation), and he worked with Sesir and Royd.
Lelouch shook hands with Lakshata, but Lakshata frowned and looked at Lelouch.
“About me?”
“A note about medical cybernetics.”
Lakshata raised his brow and smiled relaxedly. He pressed the suitcase switch beside him with his pipe.
"I hate old topics. Speaking of which, this... is a gift from Kyoto."
The box is a Knightmare pilot-specific uniform. It has good defensiveness and can improve the pilot's survival rate.
"Speaking of this, we also have a toy here that you need to see."
Lelouch remembered Zhang Yu's request and took Lakshata to the last big truck that had not been opened.
Lakshata couldn't help but open his eyes after walking in with Lelouch.
Chapter completed!
