Mermaid O was spoiled by the paranoid marshal after being reborn

After all, Cromway stretched out his hand, and his blue eyes, which were usually cold, were now filled with tenderness. Under the bright light, those eyes looked deeper, like sparkling waves on the surface of a lake, making people blush heartbeat.

Cromway is wearing an extremely formal tuxedo today, with a dark red bow tie on his snow-white shirt, making him look like an elegant gentleman, extraordinarily elegant and courteous, and eye-catching, like a star in the sky, shining brightly dazzling.

But now, the star landed beside Karl, stretched out its hand towards him, and bestowed him with starlight.

"...But I can't dance." Carl whispered.

Karl really can't dance. Even before he came to the Langman Empire, he lived on the bottom of the sea most of the time. The moving tool is not the legs, but the fish tail, so don't talk about dancing, just walk Neither will he.

However, the mermaids are good at singing and dancing. When in the deep sea, Karl would sometimes join his brothers and sisters, flicking the tail of the fish to the beat of the music, swimming in the seabed, dancing in the way of their mermaids. dance.

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

Not minding Carl's words, Cromway smiled, and immediately took Carl's hand and led him onto the dance floor.

At first, because it was the first time to use his legs to dance on land, Karl inevitably seemed a little rusty and clumsy. Although he barely kept up with the beat, he accidentally stepped on Cromway's shoes several times.

Seeing a glaring footprint on the polished leather shoe, Karl felt nervous for fear that the other party would blame him for it.But he didn't expect that Cromway didn't say anything when he saw this. Instead, he slowed down during the next dance, trying to let Karl keep up with his own beat.

Under the leadership of Cromway, the tension in Carl's heart gradually dissipated. He counted the beat silently in his heart, just like when he was dancing in the deep sea, and gradually found the beauty of being intoxicated by the sound of music.

Seeing this, the corners of Cromway's mouth curled up, and he smiled slightly. He supported Karl's waist with one hand, and held his hand with the other, and gradually let go of his steps, realizing the break-in with Karl.

The dance music gradually progresses to a high.The tide, the original soothing tune became more and more high-pitched, like a trickle gradually converging into a vast ocean, and the cooperation between Karl and Cromway became more and more tacit.Accompanied by the passionate movement, at this moment, Karl couldn't even feel the noisy voices around him, and could only see the tall and handsome man in front of him.

And the man in front of him has been looking at him with an extremely gentle expression from the beginning to the end, his deep eyes are like a deep pool, as if he will sink into it at a glance, unable to extricate himself.

Karl was a little dazed, not sure if it was because of the dazzling lights or the equally dazzling man in front of him.

Because of his outstanding appearance and demeanor, Cromway won the attention of many people as soon as he appeared on the stage. Seeing that he ignored everyone but only invited Carl as his dance partner, some people actually still felt a little ridiculed in their hearts. After all, they didn't think this What is so special about the little prince of a foreign country that he can win the favor of the marshal.

But at this moment, seeing that Karl and Cromway cooperated so tacitly and walked in unison, as if they were a match made in heaven, they couldn't help but feel admiration.

That's all, the ballroom applauded thunderously.

Hearing the huge applause erupting in the arena, Carl's cheeks flushed slightly. He turned his head to look at Cromway beside him, who happened to be looking at him too. Carl looked away quickly as if he was guilty of guilt. My heart is beating non-stop, but what is more is a warmth like seeing the rising sun in winter——

His joy was not only because of the applause just now, but also because he was able to stand with Cromway. Karl felt that the two of them stood side by side, and it felt so good to be watched by the world.

Carl was thinking wildly in his mind, when his palm suddenly warmed up, he was startled, but saw that Cromway beside him seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, holding his hand tightly, with his slender and slender fingers wrapped around his knuckle fingers , Interlocking fingers with him.

After Karl and Cromway finished the dance, the lights in the hall dimmed, and when they were turned on again, they gathered on the stairs next to the pool on the other side, and King Freddy and Queen Louisa came down the stairs together All around, the knights and guards knelt on one knee to welcome the arrival of the king and queen.

After Freddie raised his hand in excuse, the people on the dance floor stood up.

After looking at everyone present, Freddy cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Today's dance party is an annual event, but the dance party is not just a dance party. This year, we have experienced a lot, we have suffered from wars and traumas, and we have also been baptized by disasters, but all of this, in the end. It was all thanks to everyone’s efforts to overcome and win.”

When he said this, Freddy glanced at Cromway indistinctly, with a smile in his eyes.

"This year is also an unforgettable year. We have established a huge holographic digital media network library, regained the last piece of lost ground, wiped out the star bandits, and established trade relations with more than [-] countries... All these achievements do not belong to I belong to some official, but to you, to the empire!"

Ferreddy's eyes swept over every official present, and he spoke impassionedly, as if there was some kind of magical ability in his words, like a shot in the arm or a stimulant, and everyone present felt supremely honored.

They are the citizens of the empire, and they have worked hard year after year for the construction of the empire; but they are also proud and proud because they are the citizens of the empire.The laurels of the empire are also won through year after year of struggle with the efforts of the people of the entire empire.

"Lady Luck will always favor His Majesty and the Empire!"

The huge unison shouts were deafening and echoed in the hall. Under the bath of lights, everyone seemed to have received the baptism of the holy light, and their faces were full of inspired joy.

——This is their empire, an empire built brick by brick under their struggle. When they build their empire, they will also receive feedback from the empire. It is this complementary relationship that creates a powerful collective honor.

The glory of the empire for hundreds of years is not only derived from its strong national power and wealth, or powerful high-tech weapons, but also from the aspirations of the people and the strong cohesion of the people.

"Today's dance is to reward everyone for their hard work this year, so don't be cautious, just drink to your heart's content. It is also a gift and reward for your hard work this year."

"Subjects, under the protection of the goddess, let's cheer and dance to our heart's content!"

As soon as Freddy finished speaking, accompanied by the sound of singing, the dance floor suddenly fell into joy again.

Accompanied by cheerful music, people hugged their partners and danced on the dance floor. While sweating, they also expressed the joy of harvest in their hearts this year. The whole hall was shrouded in a beaming atmosphere. In the show, people express their overflowing moods by rubbing hands with their dance partners, talking in low voices, and smiling on their faces.

A corner of the ball.

Today, Aubrey also put on a straight suit. He is tall and straight, and looks equally dignified.In fact, there were many omega and beta who liked him in private, and even the daring ones even tried to give him a sneak peek.But because his character is too straight and cancerous, he has never noticed it and treats everyone as good brothers, so he always misses the good relationship.

At this time, Aubrey was chatting with several omega, he talked endlessly about what he saw and heard in the legion, completely immersed in the glory brought by defending his home and country, he didn't realize that everyone in front of him was already It's a lack of interest, but it's not easy to point it out in person, so I have to agree with embarrassment.

Seeing Cromway walking towards him, knowing that the boss must be looking for him for something important, Aubrey said goodbye to those oemga.

"Today's ball is held once a year, and it is very grand. The king and all the dignitaries and nobles are present. Some time ago, it was detected that there were Zerg spies trying to sneak into the palace. Did you find anything unusual during today's patrol?"

"No."

Facing Cromway's cross-examination, Aubrey shook his head. He immediately put down the wine glass in his hand, and returned to sitting upright.Although he usually messes up sometimes, but when it comes to work, he will become very serious and serious, and Cromway has taken a fancy to his quality of being dedicated to work, so he treats him Entrusted with important tasks.

"but."

As Cromway said, there is no matter how big or small a patrol is, Aubrey took the opportunity to think carefully and said:

"...Speaking of something strange, half a month ago, when the time of the banquet was not announced to the public, a small gate in the northwest corner was originally occupied by two guards, but one of them asked for leave in advance tonight, so I arranged another substitute Go up. But I didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he is a newcomer, and he came to the capital for the first time. I think he is also on the list of invited banquets. He is a distant relative of a nobleman, so maybe he wants to feel the New Year. The atmosphere in the time city."

Hearing Aubrey's words, Cromway frowned, because the usual tasks were messy, so their regiment's schedule was very flexible.It was not a big deal for someone to ask for leave, but this person seemed to know the time of the banquet long before the banquet was notified to the public, so he asked for leave in advance, which really made people suspicious.

Although there was a sense of uneasiness in his heart, it was only his guess after all. Naturally, Cromway would not spread panic for no reason, so he kept this matter in his heart, and said to Aubrey with a serious expression:

"In any case, the guards of the capital must be strengthened, and there should be no slack due to holidays. The more it is at this time, the more it is necessary to ensure the safety of the capital and the adults."

"Yes!"

Aubrey raised his hand and returned Cromway's standard military salute.

Seeing the change in Cromwell's expression, Aubrey didn't plan to stay any longer in the Ballroom Palace, but returned to the guard, intending to check whether all the soldiers were on duty.

After all, although remote video monitoring is possible now, it is precisely because of the development of science and technology, there are policies and countermeasures at the top, and it is inevitable that some soldiers will steal and play tricks by taking advantage of system bugs, and his existence is to prevent such situations.

After Aubrey left, Cromway's expression gradually became serious. After searching through the system, he found that the background of the person asking for leave was too perfect and false, and the ominousness in his heart became more and more intense.

Cromway made a decisive decision and immediately began to investigate and dispatch guards in the system, interspersed with hidden stakes, and secretly protected the entire palace.

Seeing that after Cromway had a few words with Aubrey, his originally soothing expression suddenly became serious when he came back. Carl felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He stepped forward and asked Cromway carefully. road:

"...Did something happen?"

Seeing Carl walking forward, looking at his home with a pair of light golden eyes full of concern, Cromway's originally stagnant expression eased a little.

"It's nothing."

Cromway spoke slowly, but held Carl's hand.

"follow me."

***

But even though Cromway said so, he took his hand, took himself away from the dance floor, and sent himself to another room, handing him over to another elderly servant to take care of him, watching In the hidden and small room, Karl had some ominous premonitions in his heart.

"You stay here for a while, and if you hear any noise later, don't go out until the dance is over." Cromway said.

"Are you...are you going to check the guards?"

Grabbing the corner of Cromway's clothes, Carl asked in a low voice, but seeing that although the other party did not respond, he also did not deny it. The silence was obviously an acquiescence to his words, and a nervousness suddenly rose in Carl's heart.

"Did something happen in the palace, would there be any danger?"

Seeing the word nervous on Carl's face, Cromway patted his head and smiled.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, don't worry, I will come back to you as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Cromway turned and left. The sapphire blue cloak was shining brightly under the bright light. Cromway walked steadily, and his figure became taller under the light, but watching the other party's leaving figure gradually merge into the dazzling The unreasonable panic in Carl's heart also intensified.

Because the room is hidden, there is no light in the house, and the scene inside the house can only be seen clearly through the sunlight shining in from a small window opened at a high place.

He waited anxiously at the same spot for a long time. Time passed by, but Cromway still did not come back. The panic in Karl's heart reached its peak at this moment.

Hearing the rustling and low-pitched conversations coming from outside the corridor, Carl felt that he could no longer sit still, and while the old servant was dozing off, Carl tiptoed and sneaked out of the room.

Following his memory, Carl trotted all the way in the direction of the dance floor, the cold wind was blowing, and he didn't meet a pedestrian along the way, but Carl felt his heart beating fast.

When Carl returned to the dance floor out of breath, the dance floor was still lingering with singing, the lights were pouring down, and the luster was like broken glass. The pianist was sitting in front of the piano playing "Croatian Rhapsody". When Carl came in, the chapter was just right When it comes to the climax, the bright tune is even like a wild bee flying, and against the backdrop of the weird atmosphere, it brings a sense of almost madness.

Someone urged him to come forward, so Carl took two steps forward and blended into the crowd. He looked around unobtrusively, trying to find Cromway's figure.Carl found that although the surroundings still looked cheerful and peaceful on the surface, he could see that Cromway had secretly strengthened the guards.

Carl was sweating in his heart. After searching around for a long time, he finally found Cromway on the top floor of the ballroom. He touched the small firearm that Cromway secretly stuffed on his waist to protect himself. He found that his palms were already dripping with cold sweat.

Karl was moving towards the second floor without a trace. Suddenly, a man wearing a metal mask rushed forward in the crowd. Because it was a dance party, there was nothing wrong with wearing a mask, so no one cared about it before, but he held it in his hand. The laser gun shone with a metallic luster under the light, but it rushed straight to the prime minister who was sitting not far away!

"what--!!!"

Because of the assassin's appearance, the originally cheerful and peaceful scene instantly took on a chilling flavor, and screams rang out from the crowd. The assassin pulled out the laser gun at his waist, and broke the crystal chandelier on the ceiling at once. The hall was plunged into darkness, people dodged one after another, and men's curses and women's screams suddenly sounded all around.

"...Come on, come on!"

The shock turned abrupt, and the prime minister turned pale with fright. He quickly called the guard beside him, and his chubby body fell down from the seat. But at this moment, he didn't have time to care about his manners, but stood up in a crap , retreating towards the guards, in a state of extreme embarrassment, without the slightest arrogance that he usually had when he was in the cabinet.

Seeing the assassin attacking his father, Felton stepped forward, blocked his father, drew his gun at the same time, and shot each other.

Although his marksmanship was one of the best in the academy, it was obvious that the assassin was more agile, like a dexterous leopard, the bullets that were shot straight just brushed past his side and did not cause any harm to him.

Cromway seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and the guards who had been lurking around the ball suddenly rushed out and surrounded the prime minister, forming a solid wall to block the assassin's attack.

"……wrong."

Standing on the second floor overlooking the situation in the ballroom, but seeing that the assassin was about to rush in front of the prime minister, Cromway, who was standing on the second floor watching the dispatch, suddenly frowned. After saying something, he immediately yelled at the communicator:

"Protect Your Majesty, Protect the Queen!"

Although Cromway reacted quickly, all the guards deployed at this time had rushed in the direction of the Prime Minister, and it was obviously too late to retreat back to the direction of the stairs where Freddy was.

Seeing the assassin holding a laser gun and aiming the dark muzzle at Freddy, Freddy's pupils suddenly dilated. He obviously didn't expect that there would be an assassin who could sneak in under such strict guards.

Ke Lunwei's mind froze, he made a decisive decision, and jumped off the second floor while leaning on the railing.Even though his legs were numb from the shock, he didn't care so much at this moment, and rushed towards Freddy's direction, blocking in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, Cromway drew his gun at the same time, and a blue-white laser shot.However, a shot pierced the assassin's wrist, and the opponent's right hand holding the gun dropped instantly, and the laser gun that fell to the ground was also kicked far away by Cromway.He turned sideways in embarrassment, and the laser shot by the opponent passed by his side, leaving a bloodstain on his cheek, and a smoking gap immediately appeared on the pillar behind him.

The assassin's gun fell to the ground, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Just as the guards who rushed over were about to step forward to subdue the assassin, the opponent suddenly took out a dagger from his pocket. With a flash of silver sharpness, the dagger was crushed. It stabbed straight into Cromway's abdomen!

The cold blade pierced into the chest, and Cromway's chest hurt, but he still used his last strength to shoot. The aim was excellent, and he shot through the assassin's left wrist, leaving him without any room to resist. .

"Hurry up...catch him alive and put him in prison!"

Amidst Aubrey's shouts, the assassin was subdued by the rushing guards, his head was mercilessly pressed on the cold ground, and the mask fell off, revealing a young man's face. ! ! !

All this happened so quickly that there was no chance of anyone reacting. When Karl rushed forward across the crowd, Cromway had already fallen to the ground, with bright red blood oozing from his lower abdomen, and he was talking endlessly, like A small stream of water instantly wet his robe.

"Karonway, Cromway! Quickly, let the imperial doctor on duty come over!"

Cromway clutched the wound on his lower abdomen, and collapsed on the ground exhausted. Seeing this, Freddy hurried forward and hugged him in his arms, not caring at all that the blood stained his robe.

"... Marshal, Marshal!"

Squeezing through the surrounding crowd, Carl rushed forward. At this moment, he could not take anything else into his mind, only wanting the other party to be well. He held Cromway's hand and kept calling the marshal, But did not get any response.

Karl stretched out his hand to touch it, but what responded to him was warm blood.
