Hearing that the national committee had a task for her, Holly suddenly sat up straight and turned serious. "Please go on, Charles.""Well, there was a fire at a museum in Erendale a while ago, and a lot of the paintings were destroyed. Most of them were from our country, and the people there didn't know how to restore them. So, they've asked for our help. You should go."She became upset after hearing it was in Erendale. "They stole those paintings from us. Restoring them will only infuriate me. I'm not going. You should ask someone else."Charles chuckled. "You're being close-minded, aren't you, Holly? It's true that they've stolen those paintings. However, they are precious arts left by our ancestors. If we don't restore them, a piece of our history will be gone."Holly was still unwilling to do it. "My patience gets tested whenever I think about how they've greedily stolen from us.""We've negotiated with the museum. If we get someone to restore the paintings for them, they'll

The origins of most of these paintings could be tracked easily.There was "Cottage of the West", painted by Daryn Talbott, one of the four greatest artists of the Monclair era. Then, there were Zenith Howard's creations, including "The Ten Bamboos", "Great Compendium of Life", and "Scroll of Injustice".Zenith was also a painter and a seal carver from the end of the Monclair Era, and "Scroll of Injustice" was one of the earliest scrolls recorded in history. King Gandall once treated it as his most cherished treasure, and there were his stamps of approval on it as well.During a war, these priceless treasures were violently snatched away by foreigners. They would burn those they couldn't take away, and it took them three days to destroy them all. It was an unbearable scene.They even managed to scam the locals and buy the fresco and linen painting used to hide the hidden passage at the Mongrux Cave of Duntall for a low price. Even though there was consent, the people couldn't hide

Holly returned to the hotel with the team of veteran experts.The next day, they received an invitation from the museum staff in the early morning. The queen of Erendale wanted to meet them. It wasn't that surprising. After all, they made a great contribution to Erendale Museum.If it weren't for them, the priceless treasures would've been destroyed forever, and the cost of the damage would've been unfathomable.Holly researched online to see what she had to watch out for when meeting the queen. After all, she would be representing her country. So, she couldn't humiliate herself with her words and actions. If she did, she would drag her country's reputation through the mud along with her own reputation.However, she couldn't find much information after researching for a long time. There wasn't a lot of detailed information on the topic. Instead, people were mostly joking more about it. Those who could meet the queen were probably too busy to reply to online discussions.Holly

Bryce lowered his head and brought his lips near her ears. Then, he softly asked, "Are you trying to murder your husband?" Holly gently shot a glance at him. "Ex-husband." She accidentally stepped on him again as she spoke. He didn't dare speak to her again after that.It was torture to dance with a beginner. Both his feet and shoes were destroyed. Fortunately, the royal dance didn't last for a long time. After it ended, Holly and Bryce left the castle and returned to the hotel in a car.Upon getting in the car, she couldn't help saying, "The atmosphere in the castle was too stifling. I didn't dare to speak loudly or sip my coffee quickly. I thought I could just be myself, but I felt choked up when I was there."He patted her head. "I thought you did great tonight.""Did I? I don't even know how to dance. If it weren't for you leading me, I would've suffocated in awkwardness.""You stepped on me 21 times. Was it enough to vent your frustration?"Holly felt extremely guilty.

William's words were like a knife, stabbing Arthur as he mocked him. Arthur was frustrated, but he couldn't talk back. After all, William was the head of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and he could still use him in the future.Feeling upset, Arthur drank faster, and he started feeling tipsy before he finished his second glass. After they were done drinking, Henry helped him to his car.Once he was in his seat, he started mumbling and complaining to Henry, "That William was born a country bumpkin. He's only successful today because of his father-in-law's support. He's nothing without anyone helping him. How dare he lecture me?"Henry comforted, "Mr. Joseph drank a lot tonight, so you shouldn't take his words seriously, Mr. Gabelman Senior."Arthur struggled as he took off his tie with one hand."He's exactly like Holly. They're both country bumpkins. He might say he wanted justice for Holly, but I bet he's doing everything for himself! "If she really made our country proud, why d
