contractual marriage
Chapter 44 Prelude to Travel
Almost everyone held their breath at that moment. This is really an astonishing proposal. No one thought that His Royal Highness would actually make such a request to Young Master Lin. Could it be because the slave was too close to Young Master Lin, so His Royal Highness is planning to bring someone over to teach him a lesson?
"Sorry, Your Highness, I cannot promise you." Qiao Mo's refusal was also unexpected.
"You can change whoever you want." Prince Lucy continued, smiling slightly, as if he was sure that Qiao Mo would not be able to refuse.
Thor's eyes were as sharp as a drawn knife, almost completely undisguised.
Qiao Mo took a step forward and stood in front of him, still smiling decently, "I'm afraid I will disappoint you."
Lucy raised his eyebrows slightly. He thought that the person in front of him should attach great importance to the person locked up in the dungeon, but it turned out that he couldn't even compare to a slave?
He maintained his surprise for two or three seconds, and then laughed, "If that's the case, I won't win people's love."
His Royal Highness is always full of grace, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
Lucy's eyes fell on Saul again, and after staying on him for a while, he turned to Qiao Mo, "In three days, the royal family will hold a hunting competition, how about taking your slaves to relax?" Although Lucy was He smiled, but there was a coldness in his eyes.
Qiao Mo knew that if he continued to refuse, this person would not continue to maintain a gentle face. No matter how peaceful and harmless Lucy Di Faran was during this time, the cruelty in his bones would not be less. Otherwise, today's Defaran would not be his kingdom.
"Thank you for your invitation. We are very happy." Even if Qiao Mo didn't want to, he still had to seek skin from a tiger. He has been on the verge of danger for more than 20 years, and this is not the first time he has encountered such a situation. But it doesn't make him lose his cool.
Lucy smiled with satisfaction. He took a step closer, got really close to Qiao Mo, and whispered in his ear with a voice that no one else could hear, "Lin, you can always surprise me. I look forward to the relationship between us. The relationship can go further." As soon as he finished speaking, he retreated to a safe distance, and after making an ambiguous gesture, he waved at them and turned to board the space vehicle without waiting for the others to respond.
His Royal Highness left, and the spectators also dispersed. They wanted to digest what they had seen before, and then tonight or tomorrow, Emperor Farran would have some more interesting news.
Qiao Mo led the group back to their room. After Prince Lucy's high-profile visit, some things could not be kept secret. Qiao Mo told them his deal with Prince Lucy.
"On the day I picked up His Excellency Qiao Endong, I met Prince Lucy. He knew that Qiao Enyang was locked in the dungeon. At this stage, Qiao Enyang's identity has not been revealed. Lucy? A further step is also a meat ticket for Tang En to come back and ask for a reward. He took advantage of this and proposed a deal, let me be his smoke bomb, and attract the guy who has been doing tricks behind his back recently."
"Someone is not good for Lucy Difaran, so he wants to lure him out?" Tie Moer was surprised. He didn't expect them to be caught in the internal struggle of Difaran.
Qiao Mo nodded, "Zhang Wen and He Wenqing also know about this." The two people who were pointed also nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Sol asked lightly, and asked again when he saw Qiao Mo's calm face. "You should discuss this kind of thing with everyone before deciding, instead of acting privately. If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?" They are soldiers, and soldiers pay attention to teamwork.
"I will be responsible." Qiao Mo looked at him. "After my analysis, I judged that this matter is not suitable to tell you in the first stage, so I chose to conceal it. I think we need to talk separately." The other people in the room automatically got up and left, leaving their personal space to the two officers.
When they were all gone, only Qiao Mo and Sol were left in the room.
Qiao Mo poured a glass of water, took a sip, and spoke calmly until his parched throat was moistened with water, "Don't you think that your recent state is very strange, since you came to Defaran?"
Sol's emotions are not as traceless as before. Although the surface is still cold, the emotional fluctuations can be detected even by a rough-natured guy like Tiemore. "From your previous behavior to the reaction when Lucy Di Farran came, it doesn't match your usual personality, Colonel Lan, you have lost your most basic calm." Sol's brows gradually frowned at his words. stand up.
Qiao Mo didn't pause, and continued, "I suspect that you have been secretly influenced by the second personality. If I tell you about this, you will not agree."
Recently, even Tiemore and the others may have noticed Sol's restlessness. The always silent and calm people seem to have lost their original composure, and have been in that faint irritability, but because Sol's personality tends to be cold Shen, no matter how anxious he is in his heart, he doesn't show much. Even though others find it strange, they don't pay much attention to it.
After listening to Qiao Mo's judgment, Sol closed his eyes and pursed his mouth into a straight line. After a while, he said calmly, "Perhaps what you said is right, but this is not a reason for you to act privately. "
Qiao Mo admitted his mistake frankly, "This is because I didn't think carefully." Compared with Saul, Qiao Mo did prefer small-scale battles and actions. Perhaps he was born with a little less trust in people. Mo thought about it and laughed at himself.
Sol frowned, "Don't laugh like that, it's ugly."
Qiao Mo raised his eyebrows, looked at Saul's serious criticism, and remembered his previous disdain, and suddenly felt a subtle emotion in his heart, and his smile was a little playful, "Accept the criticism from the officer, and I will try my best to correct it. "As he said, he gave a military salute in a dignified way.
"But Colonel Lan, I'm afraid you are more troublesome than me at the moment." Qiao Mo is the typical type who wants to pull someone to support him when he is unhappy, and he spares no effort to tease Saul.
Lucy Defarran's performance today made him puzzled. It is impossible for the prince Defarran with a deep city to ignore his plan because he fell in love with someone. Everything fell short, "Does he know you?" Qiao Mo asked Saul.
"Even if he really saw my picture, it is impossible to connect the current appearance with the previous one." Saul said lightly.
In order to better hide their identities, Song Lanzhou put a lot of effort into their disguise. Although they only slightly modified a few key parts, the overall appearance has changed a lot. Not only that, Song Lanzhou also used Some small tricks strengthened the temperament they wanted to pretend. Even if they were somewhat similar to their own appearance, they would not be recognized by others. It was also because of such superb makeup skills that Song Lanzhou was hailed as a god in the makeup world. .
"He's obviously very interested in you, otherwise he wouldn't have asked for a slave exchange at that time." Qiao Mo analyzed, restraining his teasing under Saul's cold gaze, "If he didn't recognize you, then There must be something in you that interests him, and this interest even exceeds the importance he attaches to that plan." You must know that if any one is not good, what Lucy Defarre did before is self-defeating, so don't say If the net is closed, the enemy may hide deeper. For any good hunter, this is an impossible mistake.
"You really haven't seen him?"
"No, I'm sure." Sol's tone was still flat. His own level of mental power is very strong. Many things will not be forgotten once they happen. After gradually possessing the memory of the second personality, the original missing places also began Slowly added, after searching carefully in memory, he did not find any impression of having contact with Lucy DeFrancia.
"Since this is the case, we can only wait and see." Qiao Mo knocked on the table, "This matter seems to be more troublesome than we originally imagined. The prince who hunted three days later probably didn't intend to invite us, but he changed I made up my mind, after seeing you."
"Are you afraid that people in the dark will attack at that time?"
"It's possible, it depends on what the prince thinks." After all, benefits and risks always complement each other.
"I'll go with you."
Qiao Mo nodded, "Before that, I'm afraid you need to practice how to restrain your emotions."
"If this is the beginning of integration, there is no way to avoid such a situation." Sol analyzed calmly. Apart from Qiao Mo's affairs, his mind was still clear and his emotions were very stable.
"If the fusion is completed, will the second personality completely disappear?" Qiao Mo suddenly asked a digression.
Sol's eyes moved, and he said slowly, "He was me." During the Federation's "Creation Project", part of his consciousness was separated from external stimuli to protect his body, and that part was his first. Two personalities.
Qiao Mo took a deep look at him, and after a while he smiled and said, "It turns out that Mr. Saul wasn't so unlovable from the beginning."
Sol turned his head and glanced at him lightly, but said nothing, but the atmosphere between the two was no longer as cold as it was a few days ago.
That night, Qiao Mo received a communication from Steward Mir who was far away in the Federation. After greeting each other, they exchanged information about the situation of Di Faran. Mr. Steward expressed his concerns about the hunting activities three days later.
"I know this matter may not be that simple, but now we can only go to the appointment."
"It is a routine event for Difaran to hold a hunt during the national birthday month. Many nobles and people with certain influence among the people will be invited. The personnel exchanges are quite complicated, so you have to be careful."
"I've already contacted the people who are stationed in the dark place of Defaran, and some of them will also go to this hunt, and we will take care of each other when the time comes."
"I don't doubt the ability of you and the young master. It's just that once this matter involves the internal affairs of Defaran, the people involved will not be so simple."
Qiao Mo nodded, "The situation in Di Fran is not as stable as it looks on the outside. His Majesty the Emperor has been saying that he is sick and has not appeared. Many people are uneasy. They don't regard Lucy Di Fran as their real master. I want to know , Did the Emperor Fran's operation really happen?" Qiao Mo asked sharply, pointing the question directly at the military headquarters.
Steward Mir was taken aback, then sighed, "Princess Missi has indeed contacted the military. Operation Defaran was also approved by the head of state."
"I understand." Qiao Mo's tone was very calm, "Then do you know that Sol had contact with His Royal Highness the First Prince of Defaran?"
"Why do you ask that?" Butler Mir was a little surprised.
"Lucy Defarran personally proposed to exchange slaves with me in front of the hotel where we were temporarily staying. He only glanced at Sol. I don't think he took a fancy to Sol's appearance, so there are only two possibilities. First, he knew Sol’s identity. Second, some of Sol’s characteristics were similar to someone he wanted to find. For the time being, we have ruled out the first type. People who look alike."
Mir frowned, and the seriousness in his eyes could be clearly seen in the video. "I'm afraid this matter should be reported to the master."
"Ok?"
Butler Mir explained, "The descendants of the Lan family have always been very thin, even the offshoots. Master Saul has no brothers of the same age. He has never left the Federation since he was born, and it is even less likely that he has met the prince of Defaran." Butler Mier's voice gradually sank, "People in the Lan family like to stay at home except for fighting. Many of them have never been to other galaxies in their lives. Except for one, that one has not been quiet since childhood. My brother is completely the opposite. When he grew up, he went out of the Federation to travel around without telling the master, and the time spent at home every year is not as long as staying outside." Mir Butler said, his eyes gradually warmed up, "Sure Master Er looks very much like her."
Seeing the butler's expression, Qiao Mo had a vague guess.
Mir lowered his eyes, "She is the only one in the Lan family who has been to Defarang, but at her age, the person that Prince Lucy is looking for should not be her." He sighed slightly, "Miss Geling is the young master's mother, She has been missing for over 20 years."
"Sorry, Your Highness, I cannot promise you." Qiao Mo's refusal was also unexpected.
"You can change whoever you want." Prince Lucy continued, smiling slightly, as if he was sure that Qiao Mo would not be able to refuse.
Thor's eyes were as sharp as a drawn knife, almost completely undisguised.
Qiao Mo took a step forward and stood in front of him, still smiling decently, "I'm afraid I will disappoint you."
