    Shirley did not refuse Henry.

    The main reason Henry wanted to take her to Norham City was that those coveting Shirley’s position had finally bmade /btheir move.

    There was a traitor in the government who spread the news that Shirley was unconscious, iming she was now a vegetable, and then started the whole acting president thing.

    Those city lords said that the government couldn’t function without a leader, and they should take on the responsibility bof /bgoverning the country.

    Now, several city lords had conspired to hold an election. The one with the most votes would serve as the so–called acting president.

    Henry would never let the acting president’s scheme seed. It was aplete conspiracy. But once this acting president was elected, he would find out who the real mastermind behind framing Shirley was.

    After hearing the news from Damien, Henry got an idea and came back directly to find Vivianus.

    At this moment, Shirley, in Henry’s mecha, had heard all his ns. She asked, “So, you want me to pretend to be Her Highness temporarily until shees back?”

    Henry nodded, then said slyly, “Yes, you’re smart.”

    “On the day the election resultse out, youe back to Summerbank with me. That way, his n will fail again. We’ll find her while you’re recing Her Highness,” Henry said, afraid she might disagree, so he added, “I’ll give you a generous

    reward.”

    Shirley sat on the chair with her legs crossed, looking like a true queen.

    She said, “I’d agree even without the reward. It’s a tense time for the war, and the mastermind behind it is still fighting for the throne. If we don’t root him out, the Kingdom of Xyperia will only get more chaotic.”

    When they returned to Norham City, it was already night. The residents here had evacuated, leaving only officers

    stationed.

    When Henry brought Shirley back, the sergeants were all stunned. Because she looked so much like the queen, bexcept /b

    that she was a man.

    At this moment, they were in a meeting/Henry said, “Starting tomorrow, he’ll be Her Highness‘ stand–in. We can

    the clone human in the ICU.”

    For them, this was the best expedient. If Shirley didn’t show up soon, her throne would be in grave danger. bShirley /bhad done so much to expand the empire’s territory, and those loyal to her would not let those rats take her kingdom.

    After the meeting, Henry asked Shirley to put on a mask to cover her face, then took her to the room where Shirley had

    of

    stayed before.

    “You’ll stay here from now on. This is Her Highness‘ room in Norham City. Also, these days, please wear bwomen’s /bbclothes /bHenry said. For a man, wearing women’s clothes might be embarrassing, but there was no other way.

    Shirley nodded and opened the wardrobe. Apart from two sets of pajamas and one daily outfitb, /ball the others were bmilitary /b

    uniforms.

    Henry handed her a document. “Here’s also a list of Her Highness‘ living habits and preferences. Memorize themb, /bthen burn the document after reading.”

    Shirley took the document and studied it carefully. She found that some of the queen’s habits and preferences were surprisingly simr to hers, or even exactly the same.

    When she saw that the queen was allergic to peanuts, Shirley asked, “If someone uses peanuts to test me, won’t bit /bbe easy

    to expose me?”

    “Just be careful,” Henry said.

    Soon after, Shirley got into character. She looked at Henry and suddenly said, “Kneel.”

    Henry froze for a moment, thenughed. He thought, ‘This kid gets into character quickly, and even imitates Shirley so

    well.‘

    “Why aren’t you cooperating?” she asked.

    Henry narrowed his eyes. “Alright, stop.”

    She sat on the sofa, hands resting on the armrests, then urged, “Hurry up. Isn’t the etiquette in the Kingdom of Xyperia to kneel when seeing Her Highness?”

    She was right, but Shirley rarely asked people to kneel in the past. It was more like Shirley was ying a prank on him. Meanwhile, Shirley was still staring at him, waiting for him to kneel.

    Henry thought that since Shirley was the helper he had found and he regarded her as a brother, he knelt on one knee, took her hand, and kissed the back of it. “Your Highness, at yourmand.”
