hunting stars

After the crown prince left, Levi returned to his room.

Guard officers of the royal family have always been the position that everyone dreams of and is considered to have the most prospects for promotion, and the treatment they can enjoy is beyond the imagination of ordinary non-commissioned officers.Even though many guard officers only have the rank of lieutenant, they can make school-level or even general-level generals nod and bow to them.

The place where Levi lives now is several times more spacious than before, which makes it possible for him to place all kinds of furnishings that cannot be shown in a more secret inner bedroom.But generally speaking, the layout here has not changed much from before.

Kicking off his shoes, he lay down on the bed, and the second lieutenant, who held both the ranks of the Empire and the Alliance, didn't want to move.

Although he tried his best to empty his mind and urge himself not to think about what happened in the past three days, the faint soreness in the muscles all over his body reminded him of what happened all the time.

In a way, Levi has already got his beloved prince.

After fulfilling his wish, he didn't feel the slightest happiness, and what swelled to the point where he couldn't resolve it was a huge sense of guilt instead.

If the process of "obtaining" is described in words without any embellishments, it would be: a 22-year-old adult man seduced and raped the underage crown prince when he was at his most vulnerable.

Anyone with normal judgment can understand what a serious crime this is.

And, at the same time, what he couldn't face was the alliance and his own motherland.

"Do whatever it takes to get the DNA of the Crown Prince of the Empire."

The words of Isos, the chief of the alliance, still linger in his ears, but Levi has no idea of ​​making any effort to this end.

If you really want to obtain the prince's gene, although the empire is heavily guarded against it, as Roger Hill's personal guard, he is definitely not without a chance.What's more, deep in his body at this moment, there are countless excellent samples of the DNA of the imperial prince.

Now Levi just wants to take a quick shower, so that everything he experienced not long ago will quickly settle in his memory.

After washing his body, he lay flat like this. After an unknown period of time, the tungsten steel ring on his little finger vibrated slightly, and a communication request from a distant galaxy came.

Before I knew it, it was time to make a regular call with the alliance again.Last time, Isos's words had become more and more severe, and he didn't know how long he could delay.

The time to be with Roger Hill may be running out.

"As one of the best officers in the alliance, Second Lieutenant, you won't still have no achievements this time, will you?" The chief of the intelligence department of the alliance started with a half-truth and half-fake sarcasm.

"...I'm sorry, I am willing to return to the alliance immediately to accept sanctions." Levi said his decision.

Although it comes from the heart, such a statement can easily be interpreted by the boss as an excuse to retreat.Sure enough, Issos showed a flesh-and-blood smile, "Second Lieutenant, are you threatening me? Yes, among all our personnel, you are the one closest to the center of imperial power, but this does not mean that You have the capital to bargain with me. If a pawn cannot play its due role, then it will only face the fate of being abandoned. As far as I know, the empire treats the lurkers of the alliance... Not so forgiving.”

Faced with such almost threatening words, Levi remained calm and calm after a brief silence, "Sir, if what I just said misunderstood you, it may be because the way I expressed it was inappropriate. Actually, I just want to say, I have been in the empire for a long time but have not achieved anything so far, which makes me deeply guilty."

Seeing the subordinate who seldom made concessions under any circumstances suddenly lowered his posture, Isos looked at Levi with a bit of playfulness in his eyes.

"Of course I know how difficult it is to complete the task entrusted to you." When the brigadier general of the alliance spoke again, there was already a lot of room for maneuver in his words, "However, you should also understand that the longer you delay, your The situation will become more dangerous.”

"Yes."

Staring at Levi's calm face, Isos said, "In this case, I will send more people to help you move. Now the comrade who is closest to you, code-named 'Nightingale', I will notify him to take the initiative to contact you .”

"Thank you sir."

"I hope you seize this opportunity and prove your loyalty with actions." Issos's words are meaningful.

"I will."

The second lieutenant's flawless reaction from his expression to his eyes made the equally young boss temporarily put down his doubts, and then he had a mischievous thought.

"Second Lieutenant, here." Isos pointed to the position of his neck, "It's very intense, I didn't expect you to like this kind of wild type. But I can understand that you have been under enough pressure recently, and timely relief is also enough." It is very necessary. It is said that the nobles of the empire are very popular with powder, if you don’t want to be seen next time, you can try it too. Hehe..."

The mirror-like display screen turned into a real mirror after a flash of white light, but the brigadier general's frivolous laughter seemed to have lasted for a long time.

Levi looked at himself in the mirror, and it was obvious that the vertical collar of the military uniform could not hide the mottled hickeys on his neck, and the lust under abstinence was enough to trigger all evil guesses.Faced with such a gorgeous and ambiguous mark, Levi just wants to hide himself in a place where no one can find it.

"Duk, duk, duk..."

There was a slight, regular knock on the door, as if Fate had smiled wickedly, informing him of the impossibility of ever realizing his wish to escape from everything.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Who will come to find me at this time?

It wasn't a hasty movement, so there shouldn't be anything important about it.

Levi didn't open the door, wanting to wait for the visitor to leave automatically.However, after a quarter of an hour, the sound of "tuk-tuk" still continued without annoying urging, and the firm knocking sound only showed the excellent patience and perseverance of the person who knocked on the door.

After another four or five minutes of stalemate, Levi was the first to lose in this silent war. He rearranged his appearance a little, and opened the door abruptly.

Outside the door, Roger Hill was standing leaning against the wall, his right hand was still awkwardly raised in mid-air before he could take it back.

"Your Highness!?"

The unexpected visitor made Levi stand on the spot in a daze.

"You are here..." The crown prince hurriedly stood up straight.

"Holding, sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." No matter how depressed he was, Levi would never refuse to meet the prince.Afraid of causing Roger Hill's misunderstanding, he stammered his explanation, "I didn't know you were outside just now...why didn't you use a communicator to contact me?"

Being hastily pointed out the crux of the matter, the crown prince's expression was more embarrassing than that of the guard, "No, I just thought that you might be... probably in the room. If you go out, I'll wait a while... It's okay."

"..." Roger Hill's rare incoherent speech made Levi have no idea what he wanted to express.

The crown prince obviously also noticed this, and tried to explain further, "Because there is nothing important, if you use the communicator to call, you may be busy with other things..."

"No, I was just resting just now..."

"So did I bother you?"

"No!"

Because of the inexplicable tension, Levi's voice changed a little, and Roger Hill's cramped performance made him feel at a loss.

Finally, the crown prince lowered his head as if giving up, and after a long time, he looked up at the guard officer whom he had just met not long ago, "Second Lieutenant, it's actually because I don't want to be alone now, but I don't know where I should go, I don't know I came here before I knew it. Hmm... can't you let me in?"

It was only then that Levi realized that the two were still standing at the door, and Lieutenant Xue Nuo not far away was not too far away from Roger Hill, looking at the sky where there was nothing to see.

"Of course, please, please come in."

The crown prince came in from goodness, and then he hugged the guard officer who was closing the door tightly with great strength.

"Your Highness..."

"Father wants me to choose a concubine as soon as possible."

The second lieutenant's body stiffened suddenly, but at the moment Roger Hill still couldn't understand the meaning behind such body movements.He chuckled, "It's ridiculous, in fact, I've already given up, and he doesn't need to do anything extra."

"Perhaps His Majesty sincerely hopes that you will find someone you like..."

"We all know the truth of the matter."

"Roger...Your Highness..." Under the shock and heartache at the same time, Levi almost called out the crown prince's name.

Roger Hill didn't speak anymore, the two just hugged quietly.

Levi thought that such snuggling and warmth might relieve the pain in the prince's heart.

After a long time, the young second lieutenant boldly raised his hand and gently stroked the crown prince's untouched blond hair, "Your Highness, no matter when, as long as you need me... you can come to me anytime .”

"Well, thank you." For such gentle comfort, the always proud prince did not refuse, he nodded, "Okay, you can come to me when you need me."

The beauty of the two embracing each other in the living room is like a picture scroll. On the ceiling of the inner bedroom separated by a wall, Roger Hill in the huge photo is smiling carefree.

And somewhere in the imperial capital, someone is ending his secret liaison with Issos.

"I will monitor him closely and execute him on the spot if there is any sign of treason," he promised at the end of the call.

This year, the autumn of the planet Klemene, the capital of the Galactic Empire, began amid rumors that seemed to be true.

The rumor that Crown Prince Roger Hill is about to choose a concubine sweeps through every corner of the upper class like a sudden monsoon, stirring every heart that is about to move.

What is even more exciting is that, according to reliable sources, the candidate for the other half of the prince will not be limited to age, gender and status, but the crown prince's sincere love will be the highest standard.Thinking of the opportunity to get the crown prince himself and the huge wealth and power behind him in a legitimate way, all kinds of people began to gear up for different motives.

For a long time, although Roger Hill has a seductive face, he has never refused all kinds of temptations. Because of his indifference, the number of hearts that have been shattered into pieces is as numerous as the stars in the night.In order to avoid premature failure, the more frustrated and courageous nobles adopted devious tactics this time, and the guards who were closest to the crown prince became the primary targets of competition among various forces.The prince's preferences, habits, personality...all the factors that may arouse Roger Hill's favor have become important information similar to military intelligence, and have been hyped for unimaginably high prices on the black market of the empire's network.

In contrast to all this, as the crown prince in the center of the eye of the storm, he still completed his daily schedule calmly.It's just that the usual extremely tight dinner time was deliberately arranged with a gap of two hours.

Although it was only a small to almost invisible change, it was still quickly noticed by interested people.

The first person who dared to eat crabs appeared soon.

The youngest daughter of Earl Palin's family, after a routine interview with the crown prince, used her shy lowered eyelids to resist the sharp eyes from all directions, and handed a ribbon tied with a ribbon to the sitting prince. A pink invitation card with a strong aroma.

Roger Hill visited the Earl's mansion in the evening three days later and had dinner with the girl.

The meal in less than an hour immediately caused a sensation in half of the imperial capital.

After a week, the eldest son of General Karl, a beautiful young man who was second only to the prince in the "Most Exciting Man" list, reported to the crown prince with a casual tone and a solemn tone. Eyes suggest that Roger Hill can take the time to watch the precious flowers that are about to bloom in the back garden.

That night, the Crown Prince was invited.

This time, the entire imperial capital was overwhelmed.

People suddenly found that the prince who was difficult to get close to in the past is no longer rejecting people thousands of miles away.So, a snowflake-like invitation letter flew to the hands of the crown prince in various ways.With the exponential increase of such invitations, the crown prince's attitude towards invitations is no longer one that comes every time, but has no rules to follow.

Male or female, old or young, flirtatious or innocent... It seems that none of them have become the boundaries for the prince to distinguish whether to accept favors.The emperor and the Grand Duke, who was recuperating, had no intention of intervening in such a chaotic situation.

The eccentric attitude of the royal family made this semi-public selection of concubines more complicated and confusing.

On the surface, the crown prince seems to have a full schedule of activities every night, but Lieutenant Snow, who is Roger Hill's confidant, knows that the prince did not return to his mansion after the fixed appointment at night. Instead, he avoided the eyes of everyone and went to another place.

There are two bedrooms in Lieutenant Levi's apartment. For a month, Roger Hill has been very familiar with the layout of one of them, but out of respect for the owner's privacy, the Crown Prince did not Going to explore actively.

The furnishings in the bedroom where Roger Hill is now are very simple.The wood-grain-colored log furniture is paired with green potted plants placed in the corners and windowsills, which is very fresh and natural.Since the last time he came here, Roger Hill found that he liked the atmosphere here, and the prince was more willing to stay here than the palace-like bedroom of the royal residence.

The morning breeze blows on Roger Hill's bare shoulders, and the long-established biological clock allows the prince to wake up at five o'clock in the morning. The faint morning light outside the window shines in through the thin gauze curtain, casting a faint halo in the room .The peaceful atmosphere gave Roger Hill the urge to stay in bed.

The second lieutenant next to him was lying on the bed in a prone position, with his face turned sideways in the direction of the prince.His quilt only covered his waist, revealing a large piece of smooth honey-colored skin on his back and a hickey that had turned crimson.On his side waist, there is a crescent-shaped white scar the size of a palm, which seems to be very old, but still very conspicuous.

Roger Hill reached out to touch it, feeling the unevenness on it.

The skin on the waist was very sensitive. After a while, Levi opened his eyes in a daze under the constant harassment from the prince.

"How did you get hurt?" The Crown Prince lingered on the scar, "...here."

"Hmm... left over from a fight with others." The second lieutenant's voice was hoarse and magnetic after just waking up.

The unexpected answer aroused Roger Hill's interest, he half propped up his body and shook Levi's shoulder, "You also fight with others?"

"...Because they insulted the person I like." After a little sobering, the second lieutenant's face turned red.

"Insult? What did they do?"

"No... just said some nasty things."

"In front of you? Or in front of him?" The crown prince became more and more curious.

"No, I just heard it occasionally." The second lieutenant almost buried his face in the pillow.It was when he was still in the alliance, but because he accidentally heard a few non-commissioned officers discussing the appearance of the imperial prince in the military academy, and showed a little obscenity, Second Lieutenant Levi, who has always been known as cold and calm, took the initiative to teach these frivolous people guy.Although an absolute victory was achieved in this scuffle, there were four opponents, and Levi was also seriously injured, with a big cut in his waist, and it took half a year of recuperation to fully recover.

That was almost the most embarrassing thing Levi had ever done in his life.

"..." The prince seemed to have suddenly fallen into a state of speechlessness, and it took him a long time to say, "Second Lieutenant, you are always beyond my expectations."

"However... everyone will probably do some crazy things for the person they really like." After reaching such a conclusion, Roger Hill fell into a subtle emotion he was not familiar with.After thinking back and forth several times in his mind, he still asked the question in his heart, "Second Lieutenant, what does the person you love look like?"

"Huh?" As if he hadn't expected the prince's question at all, Levi hesitated for a few seconds before intermittently saying, "It's a bit like you..."

"Me? Is it appearance, personality, or something else?"

"It's all a little..."

"Can you be more specific?"

"..." The second lieutenant who pretended to be asleep refused to continue answering this question.

After this discussion, Roger Hill was completely awake.He has a strong obsession with cleanliness both emotionally and physically, and has an unclean relationship with his guard officer when he is extremely depressed.But after calming down, the prince found that he did not feel regret or annoyance, but instead accepted this mutual comforting relationship very naturally.

Being regarded as a substitute for others, this can be called a wonderful first experience for the crown prince.

Gently stroking the pale white scar on the lieutenant's body, Roger Hill sighed in his heart.

This is true deep love. If you need help in the future, then do your best to help this young man realize his wish.

Today the Crown Prince's dinner was held at the home of Baron Parsons.

Looking at the face flushed with excitement across the extended dining table, Roger Hill suddenly remembered that he had met him on a special occasion.Recalling that embarrassing experience, the prince suddenly felt that the excellent-looking steak in front of him lost its aroma, but he still smiled at the expectant Baron, and began to eat calmly under his fiery gaze.

During this period of time, the criteria for the crown prince's selection of dinner partners became a topic of most interest to the nobles, but few people knew that this envied spot was randomly generated by flipping a coin.

In fact, the current Roger Hill has no memory of the person who had dinner with him yesterday at all.

The result of being too casual is that occasionally there is a situation like today: people who were not originally liked were included in the selection range.

The Crown Prince absent-mindedly cut the delicacies on the plate into small pieces, and then mechanically put them in his mouth to chew.After wandering for a while, he found that the guard officer closest to him during this time was not where he should be standing.With the movement of drinking red wine, he gestured to the back, and Lieutenant Xue Nuo who had been accompanying him immediately stepped forward.

"Where's Lieutenant Levi?"

The prince whispered to Snow, and smiled perfunctorily at Baron Parson.

Everyone soon saw that there seemed to be a pink heart emerging from the baron's head.

"He said he wasn't feeling well and wanted to get away for a while to get some air."

"Uncomfortable? Are you sick?" The crown prince frowned gracefully.

"From the perspective of my subordinates, it doesn't seem to be the case. The second lieutenant should be fine."

"Um."

"Then this subordinate will step back first." Xue Nuo returned to the position one meter away to the left behind the prince.

From this position, one-third of the crown prince's face and the movements hidden under the dining table could be seen, and soon he saw Roger Hill's hanging left hand gently tapping the edge of the chair.

This is the usual action of the prince in hesitation and thinking.

As the most powerful guard officer around Roger Hill, Lieutenant Xue Nuo with an immature face is by no means in vain. His loyalty and ability have passed the test of extraordinary people, which is probably why the Crown Prince did not Conceal the root cause of the matter with Levi from him.

Of course, Xue Nuo did not live up to the prince's trust, and dutifully cleaned up all traces of the two after each tryst.Otherwise, the tightly controlled surveillance system in the Crown Prince's mansion alone would expose the relationship between the two early.

As a bystander, Xue Nuo was surprised more than once by the rapid progress of Roger Hill and the new guard officer.

Due to the special status of the royal family, the crown prince has been assassinated many times since he was a child, so in terms of character, he is not the type who will easily trust others.As for this second lieutenant named Li Wei, the prince skipped the trial procedure and directly transferred him to his side to entrust him with important tasks. In the end, it even turned into an uncontrollable situation.

As a male, Xue Nuo really couldn't see the attractiveness of Second Lieutenant Levi, and he didn't understand why the crown prince who had rejected many beautiful beauties chose a man who was only handsome in appearance.Coupled with the current rumors about choosing a concubine, even Xue Nuo doesn't quite understand Roger Hill's current thinking.However, as a diehard loyalist of the crown prince, he repeatedly reminded himself to maintain a serious and serious attitude, because as a royal guard officer, his tried-and-true conclusion was that the number of secrets a person knew was inversely proportional to the length of his lifespan.

But... the uneasy attitude expressed inadvertently by the crown prince still caused the lieutenant to speculate wildly.

Where did Second Lieutenant Levi go?

Don't you want to see the crown prince "blind date" with different people every day?

Lieutenant Xue Nuo, who didn't understand all the twists and turns between the two, didn't know at this moment that his guess was infinitely close to the truth.

Levi, who left under the pretext of being "uncomfortable", took the opportunity to walk away just because he couldn't bear all this.

He clearly knew who the object of Roger Hill's true love was, and also understood that all the actions of the crown prince during this period were not sincere, but just seeing him respond to others' love with a smile, the second lieutenant felt a pain like a heart burst with.

It turned out that his desire for monopoly had already reached such a level.

...I can never get back the time when I was satisfied just by looking at it.

The frightened second lieutenant could only decide to avoid it temporarily, trying to adjust his mentality in the short time he could leave Roger Hill.

In the unfamiliar Baron Parson's mansion, the young guard officer walked aimlessly. It didn't take long before he passed through the bustling garden in the front courtyard and the majestic main building complex, and came to the residence of the servants in the rear.

There are two rows of simple wooden bungalows built here, the narrow roads are not cleared, and dumped food residues can be seen everywhere. The used toilets are placed at each door, and if you get close, you will smell the stench.Dinner time was the busiest time for the servants, and the entire backyard was very quiet, except for a young man who looked extremely thin and thin, washing his clothes in a large tub.

All kinds of work clothes piled up like a hill are even far higher than the top of the boy's head. The astonishing scene makes Levi seem to return to the life of the poor in Western Europe in the Middle Ages in the Earth Age that he saw in the history books in the military school days.

Washing clothes by hand... what a primitive act!

Unless it is a means of less serious punishment, torture.

The strange scene made Levi temporarily forget his irritability, and he tried to get closer to the boy.

The water in the tub was very dirty, but the boy's hands were extremely fair, obviously not used to such heavy physical labor.Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, the young man who had been immersed in his work raised his head.

As if responding to his movements, after seeing the boy's face clearly, Levi quickly took a step back.

The first thing you see is a pair of dark blue eyes hidden behind pale golden bangs.The nose and lips that were revealed next were small, delicate, and very immature, making it certain that their owners were only about 15 years old at most.The eyes and other parts of the facial features deviate obviously, appearing extraordinarily melancholy and profound, like a dim gem that has gone through vicissitudes and lost its light.

But that's not why the second lieutenant backed away in surprise.

The boy's face was actually somewhat similar to Roger Hill's!

"You were from that time..."

Levi suddenly remembered the embarrassing scene he had encountered in the Crown Prince's mansion. Wasn't it the young man who was sobbing under the baron?

The scene at that time is still vivid in my mind, but at that time the young man was disheveled and worried about Roger Hill's reaction, Levi didn't have time to take a closer look at it, but now he has time to take a closer look at this person who looks like the crown prince.

Unlike the alliance that emphasized human rights on the surface, the class division of the empire has never been concealed. People who are slaves or pets have no identity and dignity at all, and can only be regarded as the owner's property.The boy's attire at this time showed that he was a standard pet.

A black leather collar was worn on the slender neck, and a round metal name tag was attached to the collar, on which was engraved the entry "Owned by Baron Parson, Raymond" in printed characters. It seemed that "Raymond" was the boy name.The young man was wearing loose clothes that obviously did not belong to him. The collar with a wide opening showed his clear collarbone and a large chest that was as clean as jade. The nipples on both sides were just exposed on the edge of the collar, and the two points that had been specially maintained showed pearls The pale pink color was rubbed up by the collar at this moment.Probably because he is used to sex, his whole person has a weak and enchanting temperament.

The fabric he wears is made of a high-polymer fiber, which is cheap and rough in texture, and is often used as a packaging bag.

This boy is like a packaged commodity that can be resold at any time.

Except for some lines on his face, he has no similarities with Roger Hill, the crown prince.

"Master, I don't know you."

The voice of the young man named "Rui Meng" is also similar to that of the crown prince, but his voice is slightly higher, as clear and mellow as an oriole out of the valley.But when he spoke, his voice was flat, with no ups and downs, and it reminded Levi for no reason that when he was still in the alliance, Isos, as the chief, once showed an antique treasure in his collection to the trainees together── A mechanical nightingale handcrafted by a master artist at the end of Earth's time.

The honorific title of "Master" also embarrassed Levi.

Although he has been in the empire for a long time, he basically spends all his time in the military academy and the crown prince's mansion. He doesn't have many opportunities to contact the people of the lower classes of the empire. ) emphasizing the declaration of democracy, once encountered such an occasion, the second lieutenant felt that his endurance was undergoing a very severe test.

Trying to control the urge to correct the other person's address, Levi tried to make himself look calm, "Maybe it's because you don't remember, we actually met..."

"..." Raymond didn't answer any more. After expressing that he didn't know each other well, he ignored the possibly unusually noble status of the other party, and squatted down directly to continue the work that was interrupted just now.

After a while, he rubbed and washed his clothes vigorously, and the mechanically numb movements made the skin on his hands that had been soaked white quickly red and swollen.

Levi, who had been treated coldly, knew in his heart that the boy didn't want to talk to him again, but as long as he saw the deathly expression on this face similar to Roger Hill's, the young second lieutenant felt a little intolerable.

"What's your name?" The guard officer who had no experience in striking up a conversation asked a question that even he thought was stupid, and he hit the wall again. He then added, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Levi .”

"Levi?" Raymond finally responded, "You are Levi?"

The boy raised his eyes and stared closely at the tall and straight guard officer in front of him.

The uniform custom-made by the royal family made him look extraordinarily heroic. Coupled with his radiant black eyes and satin-smooth honey-colored skin, the 22-year-old second lieutenant's upright and handsome appearance can be a role model for soldiers no matter where he goes.

The young man's careful scrutiny made Levi feel a little uncomfortable. This kind of gaze was almost to the point where he wanted to eat himself hard and then spit it out.

"Yes, I'm Levi."

The second lieutenant, who has experienced a lot recently, still managed to remain calm.

But the boy immediately threw a blockbuster, which almost made Levi change color immediately, "You came from the Sacred Heart Orphanage, and I grew up there too. The dean has mentioned you many times, saying that you It is our role model and pride.”

"... Me?" The second lieutenant was confused for a while.

"Of course, I won't remember your name wrong." Raymond was very sure.

The Sacred Heart Orphanage is the place where Levi grew up in the imperial military resume.When he first came to the empire that year, he had made a special trip there to see it, in case he would show his feet when he was tempted in the future.In his impression, the planet where the orphanage was located was a desolate place on the edge of the empire's territory. Even after continuous space jumps, the round trip from there to the imperial capital would take a month.

The false identity background was originally intended to be placed in a place that was not easy to be verified by others, but he did not expect that this young man who seemed to appear out of nowhere also came from the same orphanage, and kept saying that he was a praised senior.

God knows who the Levy he was talking about, did the alliance let him replace a real person named "Live"?

It seemed that because of this rare reunion, Raymond's tone suddenly became excited, even a little trembling, "Do you... remember? There is a tall plane tree in the front yard of the orphanage. You used to like it there... ..."

Raymond's voice was clear and pleasant, but it sounded like a curse to Levi's ears, because every word the boy said made him unable to answer.

It is not sure whether the other party is testing, as long as one wrong sentence may become a loophole.

The string called "vigilance" in the second lieutenant's heart tensed instantly.

Just as he was looking for countermeasures in a hurry, a shout came from far and near──

"Second Lieutenant Levi, why did you come here?!" Xue Nuo's baby face was flushed red from running for a long time. After running close, the lieutenant, who has always been physically strong, held his knees for a while before he Standing up straight, "His Royal Highness is almost finished eating, so he told me to come to you secretly. Twenty minutes have passed since I came out, and His Highness must have been waiting impatiently."

Xue Nuo's words already implied accusations, but Levi felt relieved, and was very grateful for the words, "I didn't pay attention to the time, I'm really sorry."

"You... oh..." The quick and sincere apology made the lieutenant unable to say anything later, he sighed resentfully, and once again warned himself not to meddle in the prince's private affairs.

Just as he was about to greet Levi to leave, the corner of his eye inadvertently glanced at the boy who had never been there, but suddenly noticed something special about this person's appearance.

"Who are you?!" Xue Nuo asked without hesitation in extreme surprise, but he soon discovered the name tag on the boy's neck.With the reminder, all the joints were figured out in an instant, and the lieutenant, who was the prince's guard officer, immediately burst into unspeakable anger, and his impression of Baron Parson immediately fell to a negative number.

A blow-up doll simulating a crown prince?

No wonder he was driven to such a remote place when the prince came!

Xue Nuo looked at the young man with contempt and disgust in his eyes.

The existence of such a toy is itself a blasphemy to the crown prince.

Under his eyes full of disgust, the immature young man was unmoved, as if he hadn't noticed the malice of this upper-class nobleman at all.

"My... name is Raymond, and I come from the same orphanage as Second Lieutenant Levi." He said sternly, with a dull expression that was almost neither humble nor overbearing.

"And Levi..." Xue Nuo paused for a moment, but this small episode was not enough for him to stay for too long, and soon he remembered that there were more important things.After looking at his watch, he turned to Levi and said, "Second Lieutenant, we have to leave immediately."

"OK."

"Then, let's run forward."

Xue Nuo took the lead in striding away, and Levi followed immediately.

As he got farther and farther away from the bungalow, he looked back.

The lonely boy who had been standing by the big tub had disappeared, like a thousand-year-old ghost who had merged into the deep night.
