Successfully becoming the new Cabinet Prime Minister, Canovas gained great power, but he did not let it swell him with pride.
He knew who granted him his power, and he also knew that his power could easily be taken back. On the second day after being elected as the Prime Minister of the Spanish Cabinet, Canovas went to the Madrid Royal Palace to meet Carlo and inquire about Carlo's attitude towards the appointment of Cabinet members.
Both Canovas and Carlo understood that Carlo himself was indifferent to who the Cabinet Ministers were. However, Canovas had to fully respect Carlo's opinion, as this was a manifestation of loyalty.
As expected, Carlo was quite pleased with Canovas's arrival. But when Canovas inquired about Carlo's attitude towards the Cabinet members, Carlo expressed that he would not interfere with government decisions.
