Two days later, April 17th.

The royal convoy that came all the way from the capital Garnate finally arrived at the Maritime Bureau in Purton Inner Harbor at noon after a long journey.

Early this morning, a group of officials led by Dolphin were waiting at the Maritime Administration. After seeing the royal convoy slowly driving into the Maritime Administration, they immediately went to greet it.

As the red painted carriage door slowly opened, Isabella's figure gradually appeared in everyone's sight.

She wore a wide-brimmed satin hat with a circle of pure white transparent lace under the brim, which just blurred the upper half of her face but could not block her pair of bright blue eyes like gemstones.

Because she was traveling, Isabella's makeup was plain, and it seemed that she didn't even wear lipstick. However, this plainness made it easy for people to ignore her age. If you only look at her face, she now looks like a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.

But what didn't match her girlish face was her attire. Unlike the bright dresses she always wore in the Champs-Elysées, Isabella today wore a pure white-trimmed shirt inside, a short tight brown-red leather jacket outside, and a red and black plaid skirt on the bottom. Her slender and tight calves were shining with pearly luster, and she wore a pair of pure black flat shoes on her feet. She looked dignified and elegant, with a hint of charm in her tranquility.

It was mid-April and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, so she opened her coat and the sun brooch on her white shirt sparkled in the sun, which even caught the eyes of James who was waiting in the crowd.

In fact, James had never taken his eyes off Isabella since she stepped out of the carriage with the help of the servants.

She was so dazzling and beautiful beyond description, with a face like that of a young girl, but the clothes she wore made her look much more mature, reminding people that she was not an ordinary beautiful girl, but the noble Queen, who not only had an outstanding figure, but also extraordinary talents.

Just seeing her appear here made the haze that had been accumulating in James' heart over the past few days dissipate a lot.

So he pushed aside the people around him, ran impatiently to Isabella who had just got off the carriage, and bowed eagerly to greet her:

"Your Majesty, welcome." While greeting, he had already anxiously extended his hand towards Isabella.

However, James did not wait for Isabella to extend her hand with a black leather glove, but instead shouted:

"James, have you forgotten your etiquette?!" Eddington, who was standing next to Isabella, said with a stern face.

James then realized that his action was too abrupt, and being scolded in public made his face turn red. He couldn't help cursing Eddington in his heart. Just when he was at a loss, Isabella's gentle voice sounded beside him.

"General James is still so enthusiastic."

Like a spring breeze blowing on his face, all the unhappiness in James' heart disappeared instantly. He immediately smiled and said to Isabella:

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Please forgive my impoliteness."

Isabella raised her lips slightly, smiled briefly, then turned away and said to everyone in a gentle voice:

"Come on, everyone. We still have a lot to discuss."

After saying that, she walked straight towards the steps which had already been covered with red carpet, and the people gathered around her followed closely behind her.

"James, aren't you going in?" Anthony turned around with a frown and looked at James who was still standing on the ground, and called out to him.

James finally came to his senses, turned around and followed, not even paying attention to Anthony.

Watching James trotting up the stairs, Anthony snorted in disdain:

'This kid has no self-awareness at all.'

A little later, in the Maritime Administration meeting room.

Isabella, who came from afar, did not choose to stay and rest, but directly convened a meeting of officials. In addition to those senior naval officials who had been in Port Pulte, there were also army generals who had rushed in from various places in recent days.

Of course, they also brought their troops with them, and now these troops are stationed in the inner harbor of Pulton. In addition to Pulton Port, the other two major ports are now also gathering a lot of army troops from all over the place.

In addition, there are still troops in the mainland on their way to these three major ports. Not only that, in fact, the entire country's army has been urgently mobilized.

The order for emergency mobilization was issued ten days ago.

The spacious conference room was already full of people. Isabella sat in the main seat and had taken off her hat, so the slightly solemn expression on her face was clearly visible to everyone.

Not only Isabella, but every official and general present had an extremely solemn expression. The reason for this was that, on the one hand, recent events had made them a little breathless, and on the other hand, it was Isabella's arrival.

As a monarch, after Isabella ascended the throne, the country's development was visibly on an upward trend. In fact, maintaining internal stability in a country with a large population and a vast territory was already a very difficult task, but she did it in an orderly manner, and after promulgating a series of reform measures involving all aspects, the national strength was able to steadily increase.

Because of this, Isabella is the most important person in the entire country.

But Her Majesty the Queen, who is of vital importance to the country, has come to Pulton Harbor in this tense situation. Strictly speaking, Pulton Harbor is now a very dangerous place.

As a monarch, her arrival comes with huge risks. If something goes wrong, the losses will be unacceptable.

For this reason, when Isabella said she wanted to come to Port Pleton more than ten days ago, not only did Eddington strongly oppose it, but all cabinet members also expressed their opposition without exception.

But amidst the opposition, Isabella stubbornly made her itinerary and arrived at Port Port with a tough attitude.

The root cause of all this is the series of events that will be discussed in today's meeting.

"Let's start." Isabella looked around at everyone expressionlessly and said so.

The Royal Fleet Commander Dolphin slowly stood up from his chair and walked to the plate map hanging on the wall. He picked up the finger stick beside him and spoke to the blue ocean area:

"At the end of last month, a fleet of the Yan Kingdom sailed towards our territorial waters from the direction of the Salisno continent and then intruded into our territorial waters."

"After that, they sailed back and forth in our territorial waters, but there was no further intrusion, uh..."

At this point, Dolphin touched his nose and said self-deprecatingly: "This is already a serious violation of our country's sovereignty."

"In the next period of time..."

At this point, Isabella interrupted and said, "Get to the point."

Dolphin moistened his throat and said solemnly, "Two days ago, the Yan Kingdom fleet launched a military exercise in our territorial waters."

"But... maybe this isn't a military exercise."
