Buckingham Palace.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Wayne and Dreyne finished dining within the palace walls and drove away with the cool beauty.
Queen Sophia was not present, residing at the Magical Department Headquarters for the time being, handling the power transition and assisting Austin in how to manage a nation in chaos efficiently.
The handover process should have been at Buckingham Palace; to avoid suspicion, Austin insisted on choosing the Magical Department Headquarters.
To be honest, avoiding suspicion was hardly effective. The affair between the queen and Austin was an open secret among all the nobles in Lundan.
Avoiding suspicion was essentially just a way for Austin to grow tired of the palace and seek a new battlefield at the Magical Department Headquarters.
To these rumors, Austin always took a laid-back approach. He had seen all scenarios; when rumors spread that Wayne was his illegitimate son, he had lain low and scarcely exerted effort to refute them.
