The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

After exchanging a few words with the Queen and the Prince, the chief physician in charge of the tests left the conference hall with the blood samples.

After the chief physician left, the remaining doctors in white coats quickly began dismantling the temporary examination equipment and cover installed in the conference hall. They worked swiftly and skillfully, and in less than ten minutes, all the items were neatly organized, and the doctors orderly withdrew from the conference room.

Seeing that the doctors were preparing to leave, the refined old man respectfully addressed Her Majesty the Queen and His Highness the Prince, saying, "The matter that required my witnessing has now been completed. If Your Majesty has nothing else to attend to, I will take my leave. I will return to the Cabinet and report the progress and results of this matter to the Prime Minister. As for the test results, Your Majesty will only need to communicate with the Cabinet at that time." His tone was calm and composed, revealing a seasoned experience and confidence honed through years of political maneuvering.

Queen Sharon's smile grew even brighter, but a hint of threat lingered in her tone: "Please make sure to relay Princess Catherine's words verbatim to the Prime Minister and all the Cabinet Ministers. If you don't, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop this very opinionated princess. You should know that Princess Catherine always keeps her word; if she decides to take action, no one can stop her. Therefore, I hope you will take this matter seriously to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

When the refined, white-haired old man heard these words, fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, but he still maintained a respectful attitude and replied, "Please rest assured, I will definitely convey this matter to the Prime Minister and all members of the Cabinet."

Queen Sharon nodded slightly in satisfaction and waved for him to leave. She said softly, "Then you may leave. There is nothing else for you to handle here."

The refined old man turned and left as if granted a pardon, his steps somewhat hurried, as if something terrifying was chasing him. He quickly walked out of the conference room and disappeared from everyone's sight.

As the door closed softly, only Queen Sharon, Prince Carlos, Hilbert, and Catherine remained in the meeting room. They looked at each other, and for a moment the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

Catherine broke the awkward silence first, a smile playing on her lips as she turned to the Queen and said jokingly, "It seems Grandma has had quite a bit of a headache with those old fogies in the Cabinet this year. I've been using your authority ever since I arrived."

Hearing this, Queen Sharon relaxed, a helpless smile appearing on her face. She shook her head and replied with a hint of mockery, "That's right! Those old guys really give me a headache. Their actions over the past year have infuriated me. I even prepared a little notebook to record all their misdeeds, just waiting to complain to you when you come back for the New Year."

Then, the Queen's expression turned serious. She sighed and continued, "Alas, these people are the intangible cultural heritage left to me by my father! Back then, I, the Queen, almost became a mere mascot. If it weren't for you, I would probably have long since become a puppet queen with no real power."

Catherine's lips curled into a faint smile, but her eyes revealed a hint of disdain and unbridled arrogance. She said softly, "You're giving them too much face. If it were me, I'd be lucky if I didn't completely purge the cabinet. Every time I see them so arrogant, I feel that you're too lenient with them, Grandma."

Queen Sharon took a deep breath and did not respond immediately. The cabinet had existed for two hundred years, almost as long as the country itself. This institution had a long history, with a complex web of relationships and countless vested interests. Removing cabinet members easily was no simple task, as it could trigger a series of chain reactions and even affect the stability of the entire country.

She understood that the power of the cabinet was not simply held by any one person or group, but rather formed through a long process of development and evolution. Many people held vested interests within it, and these interests were often closely tied to the fate of the nation. Therefore, any reform of the cabinet required careful consideration and a weighing of the pros and cons.

Queen Sharon turned her gaze to her grandson, who sat beside Catherine, her eyes filled with love and guilt. She said softly, “My child, you have suffered so much. Your grandmother was completely unaware all these years that your mother had another child wandering far away. Your sister also kept it a secret from us, never mentioning it. But thankfully, after all these years, you are still alive and well in this world, and now you are back with us. This is truly wonderful!”

Hilbert observed everything silently from the shadows. Perhaps because of their blood ties, he felt no aversion towards the Queen. Naturally, he replied, “Grandma, you don’t need to blame yourself. This is neither your fault, nor Mother’s, nor Sister’s. I am very fortunate to be able to return to my family in my lifetime. My sister’s insistence led me home.”

Prince Carlos smiled and asked in a relaxed tone, "Oh dear, you're really protective of your sister! Don't you harbor any resentment towards her now? If your sister had told us about you sooner, we could have searched together and found your way home much faster."

Prince Carlos spoke while observing the boy before him, trying to discern his true thoughts from his expression and reactions. He outwardly appeared very happy for his newly returned grandson.

But in reality, his most cherished child was his granddaughter. After all, she had always been his precious darling, while this grandson was a stranger who had suddenly entered their lives. Nevertheless, Prince Carlos hoped to learn about his grandson's character and personality through this opportunity.

Upon hearing Prince Carlos's words, Hilbert gave a wry smile: "Actually, I used to harbor resentment. I don't know how to describe that feeling. Perhaps this is the power of family? When I saw my sister, all the resentment and dissatisfaction clashed with my innate love for her. Looking back now, those negative emotions are really ridiculous."

Prince Carlos nodded in understanding: "Yes, life is always full of complex emotions, but in the end, it all comes back to the purest family affection. I hope you can cherish this relationship, take good care of your sister, and support each other as you two walk together. If you feel tired or hurt outside, you can always come back here. This will always be your home, and your strongest support."

Catherine's eyes instantly welled up with tears upon hearing her grandfather and brother's words, her heart filled with emotion.

She recalled the difficult years after her parents died when she was a child, but fortunately, she returned to her grandparents' side and has now found her long-lost brother.

Although her older brother was away on a mission and unable to return, she was already very content.

Although her parents are no longer alive, life is always full of regrets, and some things cannot be made up for. However, these regrets have not affected her cherishment of her family or her expectations for the future.
