"That guy with curly eyebrows and blond hair is from Piltover. He's here to improve his cooking skills and will be leaving after the tea party."
Seeing that Pudding didn't even know the other person's name, Charlotte Linlin's brows furrowed slightly in displeasure, but she patiently began to describe the other person's characteristics.
When Charlotte Linlin noticed the disappointed look on Pudding's face after she told her that the other person wouldn't be staying long, Charlotte Linlin actually became happy.
It seems that getting Brin to cooperate with his actions is a very easy thing.
Of course, even if Pudding is unwilling, Charlotte Linlin can still make her cooperate.
However, the efficiency of being proactive and reactive is different, so this is naturally better.
"He lives in that house and works at the Longbread Company. If you want to hang out with him, just go find him."
"Is...is that okay?"
"Mmm~ Mmm~ Of course, do you want to play with him all the time?"
Charlotte Linlin didn't directly mention a marriage alliance, after all, Pudding was only 6 years old and might not understand what a marriage alliance meant.
Instead, they changed their story.
Seeing that Pudding was a little hesitant, Charlotte Linlin didn't say anything, but turned around and left.
Once we've confirmed Brin's thoughts, the rest is up to Leliana.
The purpose of a marriage alliance is to establish a stable connection with the power behind the other party. If the people behind the other party are unaware of this, the effectiveness of the marriage alliance will be diminished.
When Charlotte Linlin went to see Leriana, Leriana was talking to Stuart.
"This is the latest list of agents from the World Government. These are all quite outstanding. Keep an eye on them in the future."
"Okay, I understand."
"As for the Pacifistas, the World Government has a different idea. I heard that they don't plan to let Dr. Oran oversee the mass production, but instead plan to have Vegapunk oversee the follow-up projects after the machine research is completed."
As an undercover agent sent by Vegapunk to infiltrate the World Government's intelligence organization, Stussy would pass on some intelligence about the World Government to Lyriana at each tea party.
No one expected that the tea party on Whole Cake Island could have such an effect; they wouldn't even leave any evidence of their face-to-face conversation.
"There's really no difference. The things the World Government is so careful about are quite strange."
"I don't understand what they're thinking either, but one thing is certain… they're particularly sensitive to that blank period of history. Eighty percent of the missions carried out by the CPO are related to that period of history."
Leliana didn't care about such things, but she was well aware that Vegapunk was also secretly making some moves.
Even if Oran didn't manufacture it himself, he had ways to leave a secret door. With just a few slight modifications to the design, Vegapunk could still understand it.
Instead of letting Oran do it alone, handing it over to Vegapunk might cause more trouble.
"Another piece of information has been confirmed: Vegapunk has now begun researching that ancient robot, which was supposedly preserved long ago on Satan's orders."
The lifespan of the Five Elders... is not that of normal humans.
"Okay, I'll remember. I'll tell Dad when I get back... People are coming. Let's stop here."
Leliana's Observation Haki detected someone approaching, and she immediately ended the meeting.
"Riley, are you settling into the new house? Stusey, you're here too."
"The tea party hasn't started yet, and Riley and I haven't seen each other for a while, so we came here to chat."
"Well, well, we're all friends, it's great that we can get along well. The tea party is coming soon, and we've prepared some new tea snacks this time."
Stussy didn't stay long; after a few words, she left. She could tell that Charlotte Linlin had something she wanted to say to Leliana alone.
"Stusi is still so understanding. She reminds me of an old acquaintance of mine, even her name is the same."
"An old acquaintance?"
"That's all in the past, but she's much better than that annoying guy. Anyway, the little one you brought probably doesn't have anyone he likes, right?"
"I don't know about that. I don't pay much attention to their private lives, but I've never heard anything like that."
"Sister Lingling, why are you asking this?"
"Well, well, I have a daughter who's quite interested in him. Since there's no news, why don't we let them get to know each other?"
If a green plum is no match for a plum falling from the sky, then what is the meaning of a green plum falling from the sky?
Leriana didn't know what Sanji had done, but she had already understood Charlotte Linlin's meaning. She knew that Charlotte Linlin liked arranged marriages, but she didn't expect that Sanji would be involved with Charlotte Linlin's daughter so soon after arriving here.
"Isn't he taking advanced training in the kitchen?"
"Fate is so wonderful. When love comes, it can be as fierce as a storm. If you have no objections, let's just settle this."
Love is like a storm. This was a saying that Gloria Osa once said on Lox's ship, but Charlotte Linlin is now using it.
"Wait, Sister Lingling, I need to ask Dad about this. Besides, it's not right to interfere in other people's relationships like this..."
"Well, well, I mean let the kids get to know each other. If they have any ideas, we'll let them develop naturally. They're still too young."
"That's true..."
Charlotte Linlin wanted to finalize the matter quickly, but she didn't want to rush things. Piltover wasn't a land of giants, and Charlotte Linlin's desire for it wasn't to the point of being impatient; she simply wanted to deepen their connection.
Under these circumstances, she can naturally afford to wait.
It's understandable that Lyriana said she wanted to ask Oran Charlotte Linlin, since Lyriana isn't the Queen of Piltover yet.
Even within the Big Mom Pirates, Katakuri and Perospero couldn't directly agree on matters concerning the future of Charlotte Linlin; necessary inquiries were essential.
Charlotte Linlin didn't linger long; after receiving a satisfactory answer, she left. Leliana then made a phone call to Oran...
