Mermaid O was spoiled by the paranoid marshal after being reborn

After opening their hearts to Xiang, the gap between the two disappeared, and everything became logical.

Cromway frowned. Over the years, Morris had always harbored hostility towards him. The two had fought openly and secretly many times. Cromway was open-minded about each other's tit-for-tat, and actually didn't care.

But he didn't expect that it was not enough for the other party to just target him, because he showed kindness to Karl, which would become the reason for Karl to be hurt. Of course, Cromway couldn't accept it.

"I've always known what Morris has done over the years, but I didn't expect him to attack you."

Cromway's eyes darkened slightly, and murderous intent was revealed in his eyes.

Afraid of disrupting the original plan due to his own reasons, and even bringing bad results to the other party, Karl waved his hands repeatedly.

"...It's okay, it's okay, you don't need to fight back because of me, and I'm not actually hurt, and I will protect myself in the future."

Carl tried his best to refuse, but Cromway's frown did not relax.

"Although I have been kept outside the palace for these years, all the veterans who have followed him in the court know my background. Although I have no intention of competing for the crown prince, Morris will still regard me as his imaginary enemy."

"I have deep grievances with him. Even without you, it will be a matter of time before I meet. I used to feel like a duckweed with no support. No matter what I encountered, I would die in battle."

"But now that I have something to worry about, and someone I want to protect and accompany for the rest of my life, I will definitely not let him hurt at will."

As Cromway spoke, he looked at Carl beside him. Carl was taken aback for a moment, and it took a moment for him to realize what the other person meant, but even the tips of his ears were red.

...Why didn't I see it before, the marshal usually seems to be so provocative.

Carl blushed and said in his heart.

"Then what are you going to do?"

If conditions permit, Karl is of course unwilling to be a doormat, so he asked Cromway's countermeasures.

"Not urgent."

Cromway slowed down.

"The palace party at the end of the year is coming soon. I will be invited to the palace every year. This year you should also be included as an accompanying family member. You can go with me and see what he wants to do when the time comes. "

As he said that, Cromway raised his eyes, but there was a gleam in his eyes, which disappeared in a flash, as if he had a plan in his chest.

Sure enough, as Cromway said, a few days later Karl received an invitation letter to the palace's year-end banquet, inviting him to attend the palace celebration party with Cromway a week later.

Because it is an annual feast, the scale of the royal family gathering is huge, so basically all dignitaries and nobles in the empire will be invited.In order to have fun with the people, the garden of the palace will be open to the people at that time, and the people can enter the garden to enjoy the flowers on this day, and various programs are often held nearby, such as drama or juggling, dance floor There will also be small desserts specially made by the imperial chef nearby, which is simply a paradise for food lovers.

And because he had never had the opportunity to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, this time Karl was invited into the palace when he heard a summons from an attendant, saying that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to see him alone.

Because it was the first time to meet the emperor of the Langman Empire, Karl was nervous all the way, until he walked outside the gate, his fingers were still cold from the tension.Seeing Karl's nervousness, Cromway held his hand, and the temperature from his fingertips warmed Karl's heart.

"I'll wait for you outside."

Squeezing the sweaty fingers in his hands, Cromway spoke slowly, and Carl's eyebrows twitched:

"it is good."

As the heavy door engraved with complicated patterns was pushed open by the guards, the scenery inside the house gradually appeared. To Karl's surprise, the room was not the magnificent palace of the Ming Emperor as he had imagined, but a room. The room with simple decoration, the main color of camel rice, two huge mahogany bookcases on both sides, and a pot of budding narcissus on the table all reveal the warmth of a monk.

Karl was surprised in his heart. In the house, an old man in a western-style military uniform turned around. It was not the fierce appearance that Karl had imagined. What appeared in front of him was an ordinary old man with wind and snow on his temples.

"See Your Majesty."

Seeing the golden medal pinned to the other party's chest, which was engraved with the national emblem of the Langman Empire, Karl quickly leaned over to salute, but the old man's eyes lit up when he saw Karl.

"You are the little prince Karl of Atlantis, right?"

Seeing Karl nodding in agreement, Freddy eased his expression, but stepped forward to help him up himself, pointed to the seat beside him, and said with a smile:

"Good boy, sit down."

Carl was taken aback, he didn't expect that the old man with a serious face and a chilling spirit would be so kind, but seeing that he still didn't get up, Freddy waved his hand.

"There is no one else here, so there is no need to be so cautious."

Seeing the other party's repeated requests, of course Karl would not take the other party's face off, so he sat down in the next seat after Freddy took his seat, but even so, he was still a little uneasy.

But after several conversations, Karl found that the legendary emperor who killed and killed the decisive emperor was very gentle, like a kind old man. Karl was a little nervous at first, but gradually relaxed, and had a good chat with the old man.

After talking about the business layout of the two countries, Karl was very happy that he did not expect that the other party would also have the intention of exchanging business routes with his own kingdom, sending students to each other for exchange and study, and even helping with development.

After all, the Langman Empire is currently the largest country in the γ galaxy, and the opportunity to exchange and learn with it is really a great opportunity for the revival of Atlantis.

When the conversation was about to end, Karl stood up, accidentally glanced at the photo on the cabinet beside him, and found that the photo was a black-haired, blue-eyed, cold-faced little boy, whose eyebrows and eyes were very similar to the current Marshal Cromway, Like a smaller version of him.

"Is this Marshal Cromway when he was a child?"

Carl asked curiously.

"Yes."

Looking at the photo on the cabinet, there was a smile on Freddy's old cheeks. Although the smile had been through many vicissitudes, it looked so warm, and his cloudy eyes became bright even in an instant. Obviously, in his heart, he loves this son very much.

Freddie flicked across the photo with his fingers, smiling.

"This is when he was young, didn't he look like a little adult at that time?"

Freddy laughed, and Carl's eyebrows and eyes also curved when he saw this.He really didn't think that Cromway would look so cute when he was a child, and he still looked so cute, but this serious expression combined with the child's body looked extraordinarily funny, like a little boy. Like adults, there are indescribable contradictions and funnyness.

"The timing of his birth was not good, and I was still hostage in the enemy country. His mother and I were still having a headache at that time, thinking about what to do if he got into trouble, but we didn't expect this The child has been very well-behaved since he was born, he rarely causes trouble and is extremely intelligent, and now he has managed the Elengar Legion in an orderly manner, he has always been my pride."

Speaking of Cromway, like all parents, Freddy's old face showed bright pride, but he seemed to think of something again, but the smile on his face disappeared after a while, and you can still see it if you look closely. A little lonely.

"... Excuse me, may I ask what happened to the marshal when he was a child?"

Carl asked carefully, but Freddie understood.

"You want to ask Cromway about his mother."

Seeing that Carl bowed his head and said nothing, Freddy didn't say anything. After a long silence, Freddy turned around with his hands behind his back, but slowly:

"His mother and I were childhood sweethearts, and we grew up together, so the relationship between me and his mother Penny is very good. Penny is very gentle, but God is not fair, she was born with a very serious lung disease."

"When Kelenway was five years old, his mother had a relapse. I was leading troops to fight outside. Although I got the news, seeing the endless Zerg slaughtering the people of the empire, even though my heart was pierced, But I still gritted my teeth and chose to stick to my post, and led the troops to victory."

"I originally thought that in just a few days, there will be an imperial doctor in the palace, so it must be fine, but I didn't expect..."

As Freddy said, he couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart anymore. He turned around, leaving only an old back, but even just looking at the back, Carl still knew that the other party was crying.

"...But I didn't expect that when I came back, she would have died of illness, and as my husband, I didn't even see her for the last time..."

Because he won the battle, things became more logical after that. Because of his military achievements, Freddy was even more favored by the late emperor, and more and more officials in the court were on his side. Proton's meritorious service naturally became the crown prince.

But so what, his Petunia will never come back.

Freddy choked up, and from his hoarse voice, one could see the remorse and helplessness in the heart of the taciturn tall man in front of him.

The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.

Sensing the presence of Carl in front of him, Freddy quickly put away his emotions, wiped away the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, and turned around again.

"So the marshal has always resented you for this, thinking that if you could bring the medicine back earlier, you would be able to cure your mother's illness?"

Freddy nodded, he raised his head and looked into the distance,

"...Although this news made me very sad, even if I had another chance to choose, I guess I would choose this way. Maybe this is the old saying on the ancient earth, although loyalty and filial piety are difficult."

Freddie sighed.

"However, I don't want Cromway to be like me."

Freddy changed the subject.

"But now it seems that I think too much. He is luckier than me and met you, and he is braver and firmer than me back then. He knows what he wants, loves and protects most."

As Freddy said, he looked at Karl with a smile in his eyes. Karl also quickly understood what the other party meant, his expression froze, but he understood why the other party was so kind to him.

"... I can't speak so loudly like you."

Being praised so much by the other party, Karl couldn't help but blush.

Freddie smiled, but shook his head.

"It's a very pure thing to like someone. It has nothing to do with appearance, age, race, and gender. Naturally, there is no such thing as worthwhile."

"Also, I can see that you are a good boy."

"so……"

Freddie paused, his voice hoarse.

"Can I trouble you to take care of him more for me?"

"Why don't you speak to him yourself? I think the Marshal would like to hear it too."

Karl was puzzled, and wanted to ask more questions, but Freddy had already turned his back, and the attendant stepped forward to guide Karl out of the hall, so he had no choice but to follow.

***

Because some time ago, it was found that there were assassins sent by the Zerg in the city, and they wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor. Although they were discovered by the guards outside the palace, they still caused quite a stir. Officials invited to the banquet should arrive at the venue two hours in advance for security check.

Because the siege and suppression of the Star Thief made another military exploit, and after arriving at the banquet, Cromway was inevitably complimented by the officials. Although he himself hated it, but after all, he was in the officialdom, so he had to make some appearances. effort.

Seeing that Cromway was having a drink and conversation with several important court officials, Karl sat in a seat beside him.

During the waiting period, looking at the fruit candies wrapped in laser packaging on the fruit plate, the colorful colors looked extremely bright, Carl couldn't hold back his mind, so he took a yellow one from it, peeled off the shell and put it in his mouth. The fragrance of lemon and The sweet and sour fruity aroma burst out on the tip of the tongue, but it lifted Carl, who was a little bored at first.

Because he was idle and bored, Carl took a book from the shelf next to him, and he didn't mind, so he sat in the noise and read it alone.

It was a magazine about imperial geography, because popular science magazines were too boring for most people, so it looked brand new, but Carl read it with relish.In his opinion, everything on land is so novel.

Moreover, the Langman Empire is vast and rich in resources. Even though he has been here for nearly half a year, he still hasn't even visited half of the empire. He can see the great rivers and mountains through the photos in magazines, but he feels that his heart is free. It has become much wider and more comfortable.

Carl was immersed in the beautiful scenery and was fascinated. Not far away, a burst of noise dragged him out of the book.

"...Why can't you handle such a small matter? If you delay the gift later, I'll ask you!"

Accompanied by the roar, followed by the sound of broken porcelain, Carl subconsciously raised his eyes to look in the direction of the sound, and saw Morris standing in a corner not far away, staring at the maid in front of him. scold.

Seeing that Morris was furious, the maid hurriedly bowed her head and knelt on the ground, but the other party still had no intention of calming down, and even the anger in her chest intensified, and the roaring sound was like the roar of a speeding train.

"Don't forget, your boyfriend is still in my hands, I advise you not to think about playing tricks!"

Morris lowered his voice, his eyes full of hostility.From Karl's point of view, it was Morris who whispered something in the maid's ear, and the maid was terrified, her face was like gold paper, her frail and slender shoulders shook like chaff, as if she heard the whisper of a demon, she was extremely panicked .But the guests who came and went seemed to turn a blind eye to this, and no one stepped forward to dissuade them.

"what are you doing?"

Really couldn't stand Morris' arrogance. Seeing that the other party seemed to want to make a move, Carl put down the magazine in his hand, and went straight to block in front of the maid.

Morris' violent temper with his servants was well known in the palace, so no one wanted to offend this noble prince who was most likely to be the future crown prince.

Furthermore, many aristocrats in the palace came from wealthy families. Although they are not as exaggerated as Morris, they also regard the servants as their own vassals, so they don't think there is any problem with him doing so. Therefore, although Morris is arrogant and domineering After so long, he has never been blocked by anyone, but now he is blocked by a seemingly weak omega, and his heart is burning with anger.

"Who was I then?"

Looking the person in front of him up and down, Morris sneered, and his words were full of ridicule.

"It turns out to be the omega of the Cromway family. No wonder I'm so nosy. Do I need to ask you for instructions when I discipline my servant?"

Seeing that Karl didn't evade when he heard the words, and felt that his authority seemed to be challenged, Morris narrowed his eyes fiercely.

"Get out of the way, or I don't mind doing it to you."

After finishing speaking, he immediately felt the spiritual coercion released from the other party. Although Karl did not expect the other party to fight against himself in public, he was slightly surprised, but he was not afraid.

After studying in the academy for a whole semester, Karl has already mastered the manipulation of mental power, so naturally he is not afraid of the other party's intimidation, but meets the other party's gaze.

Invisibly, the spiritual power of the two collided with each other, and the lightning flashed for a while.

...I am an alpha whose mental power is judged as A-level, how could an omega be able to resist his mental power attack! ?

Because the consumption of releasing the mental power was too high, Morris withdrew the released mental power after a while, but he was both shocked and horrified, because in the collision just now, he failed to get the slightest advantage from Karl. !

Morris has never had the slightest affection for omega, which is as fragile as glass, but he never dreamed that one day he would be slapped in the face. Naturally, his face was dull. He took two steps forward, and his face was even more serious. Terribly gloomy.

Seeing Morris striding towards him, Karl subconsciously took two steps back. Fortunately, the maid who was reprimanded just now took the opportunity to leave, but although he pretended to be calm on the surface, he was still extremely flustered in his heart.

Although I have a group of fans on the star network through the live broadcast, but because of this, many high-ranking officials have criticized this, so if Morris really wants to do something to him, and he is alone and helpless, no one will come forward help each other.

A drop of sweat ran across Carl's cheek, and just as he pursed his lips and leaned against the corner of the wall to retreat, the smell of wine hit him, light and shadow split, and a tall figure separated himself from Morris.

Seeing that Cromway's face was gloomy and cold, and his icy blue eyes were frozen in ice, Morris raised his eyebrows, but smiled lightly.

"What? Could it be that the Marshal wants to 'protect his wife with strength' again, so as to make another Xingbo headline?"

In the palace, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Morris was naturally confident.

There were already many dovish ministers in the DPRK and China who advocated peace, because Cromway was dissatisfied with him for being belligerent. If he was accused of injuring the prince again, maybe Cromway would be charged with depression tomorrow. disease hat.

As time went by, more and more officials and dignitaries came to wait, and many people looked sideways, looking at the situation here curiously, knowing that this place is definitely not suitable for any disputes, so Carl hastily tugged at the corner of Cromway's clothes.

"...Marshal Cromway, the ball is about to start, let's go."

Seeing that Cromway was still not moving, Carl was anxious, so he leaned into Cromwell's ear and whispered:

"I want to eat the cakes at the banquet, you are the best, can you come with me, man, boyfriend..."

When he said this, Karl's voice became soft because of shyness, but his tone was full of coquettishness that he didn't even notice. Hearing the words, Karen seemed to have regained a little sanity, and he stared deeply. Glancing at Morris, who still had a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he turned and left with Carl beside him.

When passing by Morris, Morris laughed softly in a voice that only two people could hear:

"Goodbye, my dear brother."

The ball had just begun when Carl and Cromway entered the hall.

The sun-like bright golden light fell on the center of the hall, making the smooth mirror-like dance floor sparkle with sparkling light. Accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano, the gentlemen supported their partners and danced on the dance floor. The gorgeous skirts they wore with bustles threw out beautiful arcs, overlapping together, like flowers and canopies, which looked extraordinarily gorgeous.

As soon as Cromway entered the arena, he immediately attracted the attention of most people. Even though he didn't make any intentional movements, he still naturally became the focus of everyone.

On the side of the dance, several omegas gathered together and were biting their ears.

"That's Marshal Cromway, he looks as handsome as the rumors say."

"It's a pity that he already has an omega, and I heard that the pheromone matching is still very high."

Another person couldn't help sighing when he heard the words:

"Sigh... These days, who doesn't regard the degree of matching as the standard. After all, only the partner with the higher degree of matching is more likely to give birth to an outstanding next generation. We definitely have no chance."

"You can't say that. Since the matching degree exists, it naturally has its meaning. Don't you think that since the interstellar marriage law was promulgated, the birth rate of the population and ao birth rate have indeed increased?"

Originally, they were talking about Marshal Cromway, but as they chatted, everyone's topics gradually became unconstrained, from the marshal to the marriage law and then to the recently revised "Omega Protection Law".

The omegas were chatting enthusiastically, but one of them found that Miss Lily who was standing next to him was gone, so he hurriedly asked:

"Sister Lily, where are you going?"

The female omega named Lily didn't speak, but just raised her chin and pointed in the direction where Cromway was. The other omega immediately understood, but still had some doubts.

"But the marshal already has a fiancée, and she went to the banquet with him."

"Just a fiancee."

The woman smiled, raised her finger and wiped the delicate and charming ox-blood lipstick on her lips, looking very coquettish.

Lily is a well-known singer in the empire. She won an award not long ago. Because of her good looks and rich family background, she has never lacked suitors since she was a child, so she has full confidence in her attractiveness. .

While the last official who had talked with Cromway left, Lily held a goblet of wine in her hand, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and walked straight forward.

"Handsome guy, you don't have a partner yet, do you want to dance together?"

As the woman said, she raised her hand and stroked the long hair hanging over her shoulders. The wavy hair glowed with a layer of luster under the light. She was very confident in her charm, and for this dance today, she not only wore She wore a high-end black mermaid skirt, and sprayed high-end perfume on her wrists and neck.

The smell of this kind of perfume is not strong and pungent, but light, like the hidden fragrance of flowers in early spring, but it is also because of this, half-covered and half-revealed, that it is the most imaginative.

"No, I already have a partner."

Staggering the woman's astonished gaze, Cromway turned and walked towards Carl.

Carl was eating the last piece of pastry in the small plate at this time, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel. He really liked sweets, and believed that sweets had the magic power to make people feel happy.

Seeing Cromway walking towards him, Carl subconsciously wanted to share the delicious food he had just eaten with him, but before he could say anything, Cromway had already stretched out his hand in snow-white silk gloves to him. right hand.

"Can I invite you to a dance?"
