Thanks to the definitive statements of the Dragon Queen as well as the Minister of Home Affairs and Minister of International Affairs of Cosmopolis, the rest of the press conference was rather relaxing for Ren and Fang. They didn't even have to field any questions any more, the two ministers and the contingent from the Dragon Nation tackled all of the questions on their behalf. Even Pax and the other people from Sirocco, who were waiting to help Ren and Fang, barely got a chance to speak.
Overall, the press conference was highly successful, and everything was settled from their side for at least the next two weeks. The press conference that was supposed to last for an hour went on for almost three hours – but the good thing was that Fang's grand plans for Ren's birthday would continue to be unhindered by these bothersome things now. And that made Fang very happy and much more receptive when the Dragon Queen asked him if he and Ren could join her for dinner that evening.
