Chapter 688: Dispute

After greeting them, the substitute returned to the stage with Mary's help. According to the procedure, the king had to personally raise the flag and light the fire of victory.

In the distant legend, Country F had won the war in a fire, which was why they could establish their country here.

But Mary did not come down from the stage. It was as if she should be standing beside the king.

Seeing that the flag was about to be raised, Henry could not help but say, "Is Mary going to stand there forever?"

John smiled. "Dad hasn't been well lately. It's okay for Mary to accompany him as a grandchild."

Normally, it would not be a big deal, but this was the National Day Ceremony. Not only would the entire country pay attention to it, but even the foreign media would film it. If they noticed this, they would definitely report it.

In any case, they were not from Country F. Even if they spouted nonsense, they could not be punished.
