Counterattack [Interstellar]

"...Then His Majesty will give a speech. Of course, you don't need to pay too much attention to these. What you really need to pay attention to is the interview we arranged later. We have sorted out the questions that the reporters will ask. Take a look..."

"When will Anthony arrive?" Allen suddenly looked up at Alston's secretary, "What time is it?"

"I'm sorry." The secretary looked down at the schedule and nodded, "At seven o'clock, we also arranged an interview with His Highness the Crown Prince. I hope you can take care of His Highness. After all... "

At seven o'clock... Allen thoughtfully, turned to look at his ceremonial officer: "Your people will entertain the crown prince in person that day." Allen turned back to look at the secretary with a faint smile: "There were too many reporters that day. , I think you are not willing to let His Royal Highness accept an interview by surprise, are you?"

Alan's birthday party invited a lot of people. Although it has been strictly screened, some uninvited guests may be mixed in. Anthony can't stand any negative news now. If Alan is in charge of it himself, it's just to avoid suspicion He will definitely defend Anthony, the secretary nodded after thinking for a while, bowed and said: "Then, Your Highness, thank you for your hard work."

Allen let out a "hmm", looked down and continued to look at the interview questions of the day...

On the evening of the day of the birthday party, Anthony arrived at the Everda Palace on time. Ellen's etiquette officer was waiting at the gate of the palace early. After seeing Anthony, he bowed slightly: "His Royal Highness, according to the previous arrangement, you will not meet before the banquet begins." Show up, we will notify you of any previous questions, if you have any needs and requests, you can tell your guards, and they will convey your needs."

Anthony has been harassed by public opinion recently, and he was afraid that he would be entangled in asking about some troublesome people. These words hit his heart, and he nodded quickly: "Yes."

The etiquette officer nodded: "Please follow me."

Everyone went to Anthony's rest room first. Halfway through, the etiquette officer's communicator suddenly rang. The etiquette officer said sorry, then turned and connected the communication. After a while, he turned his head and bowed slightly to Anthony: "I'm very sorry, the coordinator I added a few programs temporarily, and I need someone from you to familiarize myself with the process."

Anthony nodded indifferently, and the etiquette officer looked at the last paladin walking in the line, and smiled, "Can I ask you to work hard?"

Pei Yao paused and nodded: "Of order."

"My dear little Ellen..."

In the small flower hall of the palace, Mrs. Jenny kissed on both sides of Allen's cheeks, shook her head and sighed: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you are already an adult, my God...you are even taller than Dale, you have ..."

"1.8 meters seven, Aunt Jenny." Allen smiled, "Probably won't grow any longer."

"You're still young, and it's possible to grow a few centimeters..." Mrs. Jenny looked around and blinked slyly, "Where's my dear Brother Auston? I was careful and careful when I went out today, lest there be any accidents again, Can't come to see my dear nephew."

Auston's secretary smiled awkwardly, bowed and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty can't get away now, and it will probably take a while to come over."

Mrs. Jenny shook the small decorative fan gracefully when she heard the words, and smiled at the secretary: "Since your majesty is so busy, shouldn't you be by his side as a secretary? Don't be so nervous, I just want to chat with His Highness Allen." Let’s talk about the past, and talk about the little secret between us, you don’t have to keep it all the time.”

Having said that, Mr. Secretary couldn't stay any longer, so he had to leave.

"Auston is still so annoying." Mrs. Jenny smiled, and said, "Prince Adair still has to deal with the affairs of Penrose, and he really can't get away. He asked me to say sorry to you, And let you go to our house when you have time, he also has a lot of things he wants to tell you."

Allen smiled and agreed: "Sure, please say hello to me when you go back. I have always missed my uncle."

"Okay, let's talk about you." Mrs. Jenny sat down, her expression became a little more serious, "The main star has been in such a mess recently, what are you doing here?"

Allen laughed: "I always thought you would welcome me anytime."

"But not now." Mrs. Jenny sighed quietly, "You know better than I what Auston's plan is. It was originally Anthony who had nothing to do to find trouble and kill himself. Even without you, Auston can solve it, but he It took advantage of your wholehearted desire to return to the main star, and used you and Farmiga as a shield, but unfortunately both you and Balk were both hooked."

"Why not." Allen smiled indifferently, "At least I'm really back."

"But what about after this incident is settled? Do you think Auston will tolerate you staying here and threatening Anthony?" Mrs. Jenny mocked, "When Auston was the crown prince, he never allowed me to come close The main star is one step away."

Mrs. Jenny was the youngest daughter of the former emperor. Because she was favored by the emperor, she was named the second heir to the throne. In fact, this was just a nice name. The hope of really succeeding to the throne was very slim. On the other hand, Dun was like crazy. He took precautions against his little sister who he loved so much. It wasn't until Mrs. Jenny married Prince Adair who was an ordinary person that he relaxed his vigilance, and gradually eased the relationship with Mrs. Jenny— —A rule established by the royal family, the heir must be a sentinel, and the companion must be a guide.

Although Mrs. Jenny is a sentinel, since she married an ordinary person, she automatically gave up her inheritance rights, so she loved Alan who was "similar to her background" and persuaded in a low voice: "Auston is absolutely You won't let ordinary people inherit the throne, you don't have to be too dedicated to the affairs here, lest you get yourself into trouble."

Allen didn't want to have a showdown with Mrs. Jenny yet, so he had to say: "I know, but before Anthony succeeds to the throne... I want to make one last effort."

"Okay." Mrs. Jenny smiled helplessly, "Indeed, the gap between many ordinary people and guide sentries is not that big, such as your uncle...you don't know how handsome he is when he operates the mecha, and many sentries None of them are his opponents."

The man who can make Mrs. Jenny give up the right to inherit the throne and guide, and resolutely marry is not extraordinary. Alan smiled. Just as he was about to speak, Alan's etiquette officer gently buckled the carved door railing of the flower hall, bowed and sank. Said: "I'm very sorry, Your Highness, there are some matters here that you need to deal with."

Allen stood up, took Mrs. Jenny's hand, leaned down and kissed it, and said with a smile: "I will discuss with my uncle when I have time, see you later."

Mrs. Jenny nodded, watching Alan hurried out and couldn't help but said: "Alan... forget what I just said, sentries, guides and ordinary people... There is no one who is more noble than the other."

Alan's heart warmed up, and he bowed slightly: "I see."

In the garden on the top floor of Everda Palace, Pei Yao looked at the seven-layer cake and countless exquisite meals on the round table with a complex expression, and said in a low voice, "What is the process..."

"Major General, please be calm." A young attendant respectfully poured a glass of wine for Pei Yao, and said softly, "You have also read it just now. We asked you to come here because of the instructions from your superiors. Please relax."

The attendant lit the white candles on the silver lamp stand one by one, and said with a smile: "If the investigation is correct, these desserts should be the Major General's favorite, don't you want to try some? Just ordered us to prepare these, the taste should be okay."

Pei Yao was a little restless, no matter how dull he was, at this moment he understood that this was not for him to familiarize himself with the process. Normally, he would have taken out his own photon knife and put it on this servant's neck to let him Let me tell you the truth, not to mention that he had already removed his photon knife in accordance with security regulations before proceeding to the palace, but there was... the attendant just now said it was right, the order to come here to wait was indeed approved by the officials of the palace Yes, as a soldier, Pei Yao had no choice but to suppress his doubts and just sit here and wait.

After getting everything ready, the attendant bowed: "My master will be back soon, please wait a moment."

The attendants retreated, leaving only Pei Yao in the garden.

It was completely dark, and the two moons in the main star night sky were quietly throwing silver light. Standing on the top floor of the palace, when he looked up at the night sky, he almost felt that he was going to merge into the infinite stars. For no reason, Pei Yao's mood Suddenly got better.

There was a slight sound next to his ear, and Pei Yao looked up... For a moment, Pei Yao almost thought he was dreaming.

A black taipan snake swam towards Pei Yao quietly, and Pei Yao subconsciously wanted to retreat, but the taipan snake paused on the spot as if it could feel Pei Yao's concern, and then slowly, slowly , with endless longing and nostalgia, slowly but firmly swam to Pei Yao's side.

Pei Yao couldn't understand what was going on with the familiar feeling in his heart, he raised his hand unconsciously, Tai Pan Snake looked at Pei Yao quietly, put away his fangs and venom, and used it to The smooth top of his head lightly rubbed against Pei Yao's palm.

Pei Yao looked at the person walking towards him in disbelief, his thin lips moved slightly: "You, you are..."

"Your Highness, Alan Norman."

Allen said with a smile.
