Baron Frederick said, "The operation of the investigation team has stopped."
"Uh, I just talked to Nicholas the day before yesterday. It's effective, isn't it?"
"Yes, effective." Baron Frederick nodded, "but I don't understand, Your Majesty, why do you rely so heavily on Nicholas?"
"He is the Prime Minister I appointed."
"No, Your Majesty, you misunderstand my meaning."
Slowly shaking his head, Baron Frederick solemnly said, "I am asking, the Second Prince that I used to know, he was intelligent, wise, decisive, steady, with ambitions and aspirations, but I can't find him anymore."
"Have I changed?"
"You've changed a lot, making me feel alienated. The previous Second Prince would never entrust everything to Nicholas without any precaution."
"You don't understand."
"Your Majesty, you can tell me, so I understand exactly what you are thinking."
Stepping forward, Baron Frederick pressed, "Do you think the Kingdom of Windsor is not important?"
