The process of meeting the parents for the first time was extremely smooth. Queen Anna naturally liked Claire's eyes no matter what she saw. She wished she could immediately pack Xi Wei and send her to Claire as his wife. There has been a big improvement.
After Claire left, His Majesty Trande held Anna's hand with complicated emotions, and said in a low voice: "I feel a little guilty after hearing what Claire said today. Maybe I thought too much. The children really love each other. And I'm thinking more about the position of the royal family and the Warwick family... ”
Queen Anna comforted softly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself too much. After all, Xi Wei is a prince. You dare not let him marry anyone casually. It is because you love him so much and are afraid that he will be hurt in the future. Xi Wei Wei will understand. They are still young now, and since they are in love with each other, I think we can get engaged first, and it's okay to postpone the marriage for a few years."
Trande nodded, sighed softly, and said, "I hope Claire won't make Xi Wei sad."
Xi Wei never expected that Claire would ask His Majesty and the Queen to discuss the matter of engagement when he came to see the parents once. This is completely jumping into the fire pit by himself!
When following his mother's wish to send Claire out, Xi Wei wanted to let go of his hand, but Claire suddenly came over and said, "Don't let go, the Royal Guards are following, if you let go of me as soon as you go out , they will be suspicious."
Xi Wei had no choice but to nod, and continued to hand in hand with Claire until he was sent to the gate of the palace.
When we parted, Xi Wei patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Thank you, acting has worked hard."
Claire was very amused in her heart - Xi Wei, a straight-hearted person, must have never thought that he was being sold and was still counting the money for the seller. When he knew the truth in the future, he would probably be furious and punch him, right
However, after liking him for so long, it is really rare for Claire to take the opportunity of acting to get close to him, and she must grasp this opportunity well. Thinking of this, Claire smiled and reached out to hug Xi Wei, and said softly, "Why are you being polite to me? Come to me anytime you need it."
Xi Wei felt a little awkward in his heart. Although they were both men, because he was an Omega, he was not too tall due to genetic problems. He was half a head shorter than Claire. When Claire hugged him like this, he just hugged him completely in his arms.
Maybe I think too much? Why does Claire's hugging posture have a feeling of protecting him
Xi Wei scratched his head, drove away the strange thoughts that suddenly came up in his head, patted Claire on the back with a smile, and said, "Okay, I can't stand it anymore if you continue to be nasty, I didn't expect your acting skills to be so good... no It's early, go back quickly."
"Well, goodbye." Claire smiled and let him go.
Blue Star jumped out suddenly, and the blue star made a small claw and stretched it out in front of Xi Wei: "Your Highness, where is your egret? I want to say goodbye to egret."
Xi Wei was speechless: "What's the point of saying goodbye?"
Lanxing twisted her body shyly, and said: "Isn't it acting? I think my acting skills are very good. Bai Lu and I can also act as a mecha couple. In this way, the master is a couple, and the mecha is also a couple. Your Highness Don't you find it touching?"
Egret: "..."
Xi Wei was amused, and Claire helplessly held his forehead, and the egret went into a dormant state, ignoring this bastard.
Lan Xing sadly drove Claire home, feeling aggrieved all the way: "Master, why don't you object to His Highness holding hands and hugging him at all, and he ignores me when I want to say hello to Bai Lu?"
Claire patiently explained: "Because the master is smarter than you, you are too stupid."
Blue Star expressed dissatisfaction: "I am one of the few S-class mechs in the empire. My intelligence system can be compared with that of humans. My IQ test result is over 250!"
Claire said: "Your EQ is negative."
Lan Xing was very confused: "What is emotional intelligence?"
Then, the second-hand mech went to the online library to search for EQ. Claire smiled and poked the blue star floating in front of her, and suddenly felt that with this lively mech by her side, life with Xi Wei would be full of fun in the future.
A week later, Claire officially followed her father, Admiral Byron, to the Star Legion.
The garrison territory of the Star Legion is the planet Taiya between the Cepheus galaxy and the Shaking Star Field. The environment of this planet is relatively difficult. Except for the legion garrison, the rest of the place is virgin forest and terrain that has not yet been developed. Steep Grand Canyon.
The place where the legion is stationed is a large plain, and most of the military warships of the Star Legion are parked there.
Claire followed her father to conduct a military parade within the legion. The dark blue warships were lined up on the great plain to accept the review, which made Claire feel a sense of passion and heroism in his heart.
He didn't think about being a soldier before, but after experiencing several crises in the Legion of Glory, he suddenly felt that it would be nice to be an imperial soldier. He likes the feeling of driving the mecha through the enemy camp, especially when he cooperates with the rear troops to beat the federal enemy to pieces, the blood and passion that surges in his heart is an experience that can only be obtained on the battlefield.
If he was born in a peaceful age, he would be willing to guard the west to live an ordinary and happy life, but now, he was born in a military family, and there are constant border disputes between the empire and the federation. He is also willing to contribute a little for his country.
Ai Xiwei, it's very important.
But not everything.
After leaving Xi Wei and coming to Star Corps, Claire kept telling herself that she must do what she should do seriously, and not let her well-intentioned father down.
During the military parade, Claire accompanied Admiral Byron all the way, and the etiquette was very decent. He was also polite and polite to the elders when he met with the legion above the rank of major general, and he was very humble and respectful to the elders, and he did not show the slightest arrogance because he was the default heir.
General Byron was very satisfied with his son's performance, and the veterans in the legion also had a good impression of the airborne princeling. In the evening, General Byron held a banquet on the mothership of the legion, and officially introduced Claire to everyone.
From the next day, Claire began to deal with some simple matters of the Legion according to Byron's arrangement. Since he had a one-year internship experience in the Legion of Glory, he learned a lot from the marshal. After coming to the Star Legion, he explained to his father The task is easy to get started.
The days in the Star Legion were very busy. In his spare time, Claire would still make video calls with Xi Wei, telling him about his recent situation, but he could only secretly keep it in his heart when he missed him.
And Xi Wei's life is quite comfortable, because with Claire as a shield, His Majesty and Queen will never urge him to get married again, he only needs to video chat with Claire every few days, so that the father and queen feel the same People have good feelings, and that's enough.
In this way, more than a year passed, and the third princess of the empire, Sirin, also married to other galaxies and left the capital planet. The little prince, Caesar, was about to be admitted to university, and he was studying hard at St. Paul's College every day. There was only one prince, Xi Wei, left in Nuo Da's palace. His Majesty Trande and Queen Anna were rather reluctant to send him away.
At the end of the 797th year of the cosmic calendar, Marshal Rosen led the Legion of Glory back to the capital star. The generals of the Thunder Legion, the Phantom Legion, the Long Snake Legion, the Star Legion, and the Rose Legion also rarely gathered together. Young people who have made remarkable military achievements in the past two years have been awarded medals and military ranks.
Carlo of the Long Snake Legion was promoted from Major to Colonel, and Jon of the Thunder Legion was promoted from Lieutenant Colonel to Senior Colonel last year, and then from Colonel to Major General this year. This promotion route is also a common way for many internal heirs of the military department, and they all won unanimous votes. pass. As for the young Claire, the marshal actually proposed to break the rules and promote him to major general!
He was promoted to major general at the age of 23, which was unprecedented in the history of the empire, and naturally it was questioned by many people.
However, Marshal Rosen suddenly brought out Claire's record in the Legion of Glory - one person successfully broke through the siege of the Federation's enemy forces, commanded the Vanguard Battalion on the front line, successfully wiped out a Federation's troops with fewer enemies, and repeatedly forced Retired from the harassment of the federal enemy army, rescued the captured imperial people many times...
The illustrious military exploits listed on the virtual light screen left everyone dumbfounded!
"I think that many general-level officers here are not even half as successful in the military as Claire. Claire loses to everyone only in age, why can't he be promoted?" Marshal Rosen glanced coldly across the audience, He said calmly, "The military department needs a talent like Claire. Not only does he have commanding talent, he can also pilot an S-class mecha, and he is mentally strong enough to be a major general."
With the strong support of the Marshal and the backing of General Byron, a powerful father, the proposal to promote Claire to major general finally won the approval of more than half of the votes.
No one thought that this young Alpha would hide his secrets and made so many contributions to the Legion of Glory. General Byron couldn't help but be proud of his son when he saw all the achievements in battle—Claire's There are many wounds on the body, but for a soldier, those scars are a symbol of glory!
The awarding ceremony takes place on Christmas Day.
This was the first time that Claire walked into the military building of the empire. The generals from the six major armies of the empire wore different military uniforms. They walked with their backs straight and their eyes full of determination. Even if there are some second-generation soldiers who look like embroidered pillows, they dare not be presumptuous on such occasions, and obediently follow their parents into the auditorium on the top floor.
Many young soldiers received the commendation, and Jon was awarded the rank of major general, standing beside his father in high spirits. When it was Claire's turn, he walked onto the stage calmly, saluted the Marshal with a standard military salute, and received the Medal of Honor and brand-new epaulettes from the other party.
There are three silver stars on the epaulettes representing the Army of the Stars, a dazzling gold star and a crossed golden sickle pattern representing the rank of major general. From now on, Claire will wear this major general epaulet, which symbolizes his noble status, on his military uniform.
Seeing Claire take over the velvet tray, the marshal nodded and said, "The military department awarded you the rank of major general. I hope you will continue to work hard and don't let the elders down."
Claire said loudly, "Yes, Marshal!"
The clear voice resounded throughout the audience, and the auditorium burst into applause in a coordinated manner. Everyone was watching, whether the youngest major general in the empire was just an embroidered pillow, or did he really have a little real talent.
His Majesty was naturally the first to know about Claire's promotion to major general. That night, he called Queen Anna, Xi Wei, and Berg to his palace, and said with a smile, "I tell you some good news. Claire has just been promoted to major general by the military department."
Xi Wei was surprised and said, "Really? It seems that he has performed very well in the past few years. He became a major general at such a young age."
Berg smiled and said: "I heard that it was proposed by the marshal. Claire made a lot of contributions during the Legion of Glory. What is rare is that this kid never shows off at such a young age. Keep a low profile, today is a blockbuster."
Queen Anna said with a smile, "Yes, indeed, he is indeed the person we Xi Wei likes. He is indeed very good."
"..." Xi Wei coughed awkwardly.
The Queen Mother's attitude of wanting to take Claire into the palace as her own son really made Xi Wei feel ashamed. As Claire's friend, Xi Wei was happy that he was promoted to Major General, but His Majesty and Uncle Wang tried their best to praise Claire, which made Xi Wei suddenly have a bad feeling.
Sure enough, His Majesty smiled and said: "It seems that the matter of engagement should also be put on the agenda."
Berg nodded in agreement: "I think it's time to strike while the iron is hot. This New Year, give Xi Wei and Claire an engagement."
Xi Wei: "..."
Help! How did you discuss getting engaged? Did he really escape from a puddle and jump into a pit of fire? !
