Here's the next chapter, I hope you enjoy it. 

Arriving at the Horse Guard Parade, they only had to wait a few minutes for the Queen to arrive. Harry was the first one that greeted her. Philip had officially retired from Royal duty, except for the state dinners since that was in-house. He'd be a part of that for as long as his health allowed.

"Your Majesty." Liv smiled, curtsying before her since it was the first time she saw her on the day. When she stood straight, she bent a little and kissed her cheek. "Ready for a busy week?" Elizabeth asked her as Liv smiled at her. "Ready to get started," she told her as Liv looked at the Queen and her husband.

They couldn't chat for long as Harry and Liv found their place beside her to greet the oncoming President and her party. The Prime minister and others were lined up beside them as they watched the party arrive at the Horse Guards.

The cars stopped in front of them and the president and her husband exited the car. Liv waited her turn to greet the woman. "Your Excellency." Liv greeted, extending her hand to her as she was the last one of Royals present at the welcome ceremony. Next, to her, it was Prime Minister May and so on.

Together they watched the military band parading in front of them. listened to the music, before the carriages arrived. Liv was very happy to see them arriving, she was close to shivering from the cold, but she couldn't show it.

Harry and Liv took the second carriage with the Prime minister and his wife, whilst The Queen sat with The President and her husband in the first one.

"You visited our country right?" The Prime minister, Gabriel asked as he turned his attention from her husband to her. "Sim, tenho visto muitos lugares lindos. Muinto boas memórias." Liv replied with a smile and tilt of her head. Her skill in languages hadn't been lost during her days of being a businesswoman. She'd used them often even at MICE despite what others might have thought. She'd been able to speak nine languages at the end of her tour guide days. A skill surely to come into use as she became a permanent fixture in this family.

She chuckled softly at the look of surprise on Gabriel and his wife's faces. Apparently, they hadn't expected her to reply in Portuguese that she'd seen many beautiful places and had very fond memories of Brazil.

"Você fala português?" His wife Adriana asked her with a surprised tone as Liv nodded her head. ""Sim, como guia é um grande trunfo para falam muitas línguas" she replied with a smile on her face as she relaxed in the seats of the closed carriage. telling her it was an advantage for her to speak multiple languages as a tour guide.

"But my husband can't. it seems he's a bit confused." Liv chuckled, turning her attention to her husband sitting on her left. "No go on." he motioned with his hand.

"I'm always amazed by your language skills." Harry smiled at her as she felt her cheeks heathen up. "You looking forward to the match tonight?" Harry asked, turning his attention to Gabriel as Liv rolled her eyes.

"Yes, looking forward to seeing Brazil beat England," Gabriel noted, rubbing his hand together. "Men." Both Liv and Adriana muttered under their breaths. "Yea right," Harry muttered with a shake of his head. "Great," Liv muttered with a shake of her own head, but they could still hear the amusement in her voice.

Arriving at Buckingham Palace they got out of the carriages and went up to the dining hall to have a quick lunch. "So I heard you speak fluent Portuguese?" The president asked her as they stood talking during he gift exchange moment. "Yes, it was an advantage to learn as many languages as I could during my touring days," Liv repeated her explanation with a tilt of her head.

"I can only imagine." she agreed with a smile on her face. "How many do you speak?" she asked her with true interest. "8, 9," she told the woman in front of her, her head tilted to the side in thought. "What are those?" she wondered.
