Chapter 68: Claire expressed her innocence I care about you

Views:

His Majesty invited a lot of guests for the engagement banquet of the eldest prince. Xi Wei resisted the urge to run away to cooperate with Claire in acting, and toasted the guests together. Xi Wei drank a lot, although this wine was nothing to him, However, in order to avoid being drunk, Xi Wei wisely chose to pretend to be drunk, his feet were puffy, and he shook his head when he walked.

Claire was well aware of his faking drunkenness, so she quietly helped Xi Wei to the corner of the banquet hall, let him sit on the sofa to rest, and brought him a plate of his favorite snacks.

The corner was much quieter. Xi Wei loosened his bow tie, took the snack from Claire, leaned over while eating, and said, "This is really the most tiring scene I've ever acted in."

Claire leaned over and said, "It's a pity you can't get the trophy."

Xi Wei looked back at him: "Don't gloat, aren't you just as tired?"

Claire smiled, but didn't answer. In fact, he wasn't tired at all, as long as he could be with Xi Wei, he would be happy to do anything.

The two of them were whispering, when they suddenly saw two tall teenagers walking towards this side, one of them had short blond hair, fair skin, handsome appearance, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth; the other was talking to Xi Wei The same short black hair, handsome and resolute features, but his face is very ugly, as if someone owed him money.

The number of times Claire has returned to Capital Star in the past few years, and the children have grown up and changed a lot, he only felt that the two teenagers in front of him were very familiar, but he didn't recognize who they were.

It wasn't until the black-haired boy called Xi Wei "Brother Wang" that Claire realized that the boy in front of him should be Caesar, the little prince of the empire, the youngest Alpha brother whom Xi Wei loved very much.

Then, the other boy who was with Caesar was obviously Brian, the alpha son of Uncle Berg and General Drew. In terms of blood relationship, he was Xi Wei's cousin and Carlo's cousin.

"Big cousin, happy wedding!" Brian said with a glass of red wine in his hand, smiling, "Pretending to be drunk is a trick, it's okay to deceive others, so don't lie to us, who doesn't know you are a thousand glasses A lot of drunkenness."

"What kind of red wine does the kid drink? Go change it for a glass of fruit wine." Xi Wei unceremoniously changed his glass, frowning, "Also, I'm not newly married, I'm engaged... do you understand engagement?"

Brian said with a smile, "It's about the same. I'm engaged now, and I'll get married next year. I'll be able to have a son in the year after next. I can also be upgraded to be an uncle."

Xi Wei flicked his forehead vigorously: "If you don't study hard, what are you thinking about?"

Brian was innocent: "Aren't I happy for you? You are such a violent Omega, it's really not easy to find someone to want you, you know?"

"Aren't you looking for a beating?!" Xi Wei clenched his fists, making a gesture to hit someone.

Brian immediately hugged his head reflexively: "Don't start!"

"..." The fist that was thrown out stopped in mid-air. Seeing him hugging his head, Xi Wei couldn't help laughing, and decided to let him go temporarily for Uncle Wang's sake.

Brian's character is not like Uncle Berg, nor his father, General Drew. He was naughty since he was a child, and he always dismantled the family's mechs into a pile of scrap iron. Since he was the same age as Caesar, Uncle Wang often took him to the palace to play with Caesar. After so many years, the relationship between Xi Wei and these two younger brothers was very good.

Xi Wei got engaged today, and Brian and Caesar deliberately came back from St. Paul's College to attend the ceremony.

Brian seemed very happy that his violent cousin finally got someone to ask for it, but his younger brother Caesar had a bad face the whole time today, even when he was by Brother Wang's side, he didn't say a word.

Claire could see that he was in a bad mood, so she couldn't help but smiled and leaned into his ear, asking, "Caesar, you don't seem to like me very much?"

Caesar snorted coldly, and answered very directly: "That's right."

Claire laughed: "Do you think I stole your brother?"

Caesar remained silent with a sullen face.

Claire said seriously: "Don't worry, I will treat him well, and I am reluctant to bully him." Caesar turned his head and stared at Claire coldly. After a long time, he leaned into Claire's ear and whispered: "Claire , listen, if you dare to bully my brother Wang, I will definitely chop you into meat paste and feed it to the fish."

Claire: "…"

The young boy's threatening words were very serious, Claire was amused in his heart, couldn't help but coughed while rubbing his nose, and said: "Yes, I said I wouldn't bully him... Cough, he doesn't bully me, I'm already very satisfied .”

Caesar will be the one who will inherit the throne in the future. It can be seen that he has a very good relationship with his brother Wang, so he will be reluctant when his brother gets engaged. With such a sensible brother, Claire is also happy for Xi Wei.

"By the way, I heard that you plan to take the St. Romia Military Academy? I made a lot of notes for the exam. If you need it, I will bring it to you later?" Claire wanted to get closer to Xi Wei's brother.

As a result, Caesar confidently refused: "No, I can get full marks in the exam by myself."

"..." Well, the stinky kid is really hard to deal with. Claire smiled helplessly, "Then you go on."

After the two teenagers left, Claire sighed: "Time flies, your brother is going to college, remember when he was just born, you told me that if he needs my help when he grows up , I must help him more for your sake."

Xi Wei also remembered what he told Claire back then, and couldn't help but say: "At that time, I was worried that he would grow crooked, and wanted you to cover him. But now it seems that my worry is too much, and Caesar is very worried. sensible."

Claire was silent for a moment, and asked, "But... do you think he relies on you too much?"

Xi Wei said with a smile: "He is still young, he has been playing with me since he was a child, and it is normal for him to rely on me. When he grows up and has his favorite Omega, he will no longer rely on me, Brother Wang."

Claire nodded thoughtfully: "It makes sense."

——Obviously an expert in emotion analysis, but why is he so slow when it comes to his own affairs

At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded from behind: "You two, you just got engaged and your relationship is so good. Are you secretly hiding and whispering?"

Claire turned her head and suddenly met a pair of deep eyes. Although there was a smile in those eyes, the depths of the eyes were as cold as ice.

It's Jon.

He, who was promoted to a major general with Claire, is also wearing a major general uniform today, but the military uniform of the Thunder Legion is very different from the Star Legion worn by Claire. Claire will look rigorous and handsome in the military uniform, while Jon looks Proud and dangerous.

It seems that Alpha's natural keen sense of the same kind is at work, and Claire noticed the strong hostility from Jon almost as soon as he appeared.

According to Carlo, Jon has been pursuing Xi Wei for the past few years, but he has been seriously rejected by Xi Wei many times. Now that he and Xi Wei have successfully engaged, he is definitely unhappy.

But Claire believes that with Jon's ability, since the doneness is done, he can't make any splashes.

Xi Wei was a little disgusted with Jon, and when he saw him appearing, he didn't want to talk to him, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Claire intentionally kissed Xi Wei's forehead lightly in front of Jon, and said softly, "I'll wait for you here."

Xi Wei knew that Claire was acting, so he didn't mind, nodded and turned to leave.

Jon squinted his eyes and stared at Xi Wei's back until the back disappeared around the corner, then he looked back and said with a smile: "Xi Wei is very attractive, but also difficult to tame, just like the kind that looks beautiful, But the thorny things all over the body, people can't help but want to ravage, right?"

Claire frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Jon said, "Have you heard the story of Princess Lisa?"

Claire was shocked from the bottom of her heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface, smiled and said, "Of course I have."

The Princess Lisa he spoke of was the only royal descendant in the history of the empire to have remarried. Back then, Princess Lisa was engaged to her childhood sweetheart, Alpha. The two had a great relationship and planned to get married a year later. Unfortunately, that Alpha accidentally died in battle. Princess Lisa was forced by the pressure from the Omega Association and her elders, so she finally had to remarry. Gave another Alpha.

Although it is not uncommon for Omegas to remarry among the people, in the royal family, only this princess has had the experience of remarrying after engagement for hundreds of years.

Today is Xi Wei's engagement ceremony, and Jon suddenly mentioned the princess today, obviously with bad intentions.

Claire looked back at him and said, "Xi Wei and I will get married next year, so don't think too much."

Jon raised the corners of his lips, leaned closer, and said in a low voice, "Claire, I'm just reminding you kindly - just being engaged doesn't mean you'll get him."

After he said this, he turned around and walked away. Claire looked at his tall back and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xi Wei came back soon, and Claire felt a little uneasy, so she went up to hold Xi Wei's hand, and said softly, "This Jon, you must be careful, I always feel that he is planning something."

Xi Wei was stunned: "Isn't it? He did chase me before, but I seriously rejected him many times. Recently, he listened to his law and didn't do anything. We're already engaged. Doesn't he give up? "

— It was the lack of action that made Claire even more confused.

Originally, according to Jon's personality, he should strongly oppose his engagement to Xi Wei, whether he stood up against it himself or through the obstruction of his family... But, he didn't do anything, he just stood quietly by the side, watching coldly Seeing that Claire and Xi Wei got engaged, Claire had to wonder if he had a bigger conspiracy

"No matter what, don't go to see him alone." Claire warned, "If he asks you out, you should find a way to refuse, and if it doesn't work, you should bring the royal guards to accompany you."

Xi Wei waved his hand bluntly: "Don't worry, I don't bother to talk to him."

After the engagement banquet, Claire originally planned to lead the Star Legion back to the station, but to his surprise, Admiral August of the Thunder Legion suddenly called several legion leaders for a meeting. As a major general-level officer, Claire is naturally qualified to attend the military headquarters emergency meeting.

After all the people arrived, Admiral August announced the purpose of the meeting—it turned out that the federal enemy forces have frequently interfered with the normal operation path of the imperial spaceship at the border recently, and even the people of the empire were hijacked, and the Legion of Glory was struggling to deal with it. The Empire needs additional troops to assist the Legion of Honor.

August explained: "The marshal means that the Legion of Honor on the front line can still handle it. This time, the reinforcements are mainly to increase the liaison and support troops in the rear. The reinforcements will be stationed on the planet Ryan in the Cigar Galaxy. There is a secret space station of the military department, which can send emergency military reports to Capital Star at any time."

Everyone understood the purpose of the meeting, and General Drew took the initiative to say, "I'll send a division of the Long Snake Corps over there."

He is good friends with Marshal Rosen, so he is happy to help Rosen.

Unexpectedly, August shook his head, and said, "Isn't the Long Snake Corps also on task recently? General Drew should take care of himself. Besides, this kind of training opportunity should be reserved for new talents."

The directionality of this sentence is very obvious. The only newcomers in the military who have just been promoted to major generals are Jon and Claire.

Jon smiled and said, "Send me, I believe I can complete the task."

Drew frowned and said, "The rear support troops are an extremely important link. They are the most powerful backing of the Legion of Glory. You are young and lack combat experience. If you entrust such a difficult task to you, the marshal cannot be relieved!"

General Drew's temper has always been direct, and in front of General August, he didn't save face for Jon, the eldest grandson.

However, Admiral August was not angry, nodded, and said: "Jon, you are indeed not qualified. In my opinion, it is more reassuring to entrust this task to Major General Claire. At least, he has learned from the marshal." One year of actual combat experience. What do you think?"

Many people began to agree, and Claire sneered in his heart. Sure enough, this task will be pushed to his head.

If it was before, he would definitely accept it with pleasure. He liked to fight with the Marshal, and he would be very happy to serve as the Marshal's rear support army. However, not long ago, Jon suddenly mentioned the story of Princess Lisa to him. Princess Lisa's Alpha was sent to the front line to die after getting engaged, which caused the princess to remarry out of helplessness.

Jon knew Claire's thoughts well about Xi Wei, and General August was his grandfather, so Claire had to think about it—is it possible that General August and Jon are plotting something behind the scenes? Singing together, deliberately sending yourself to support the Legion of Glory

But the rear support troops are stationed on the planet Ryan, and there is no great risk if they don't directly exchange fire with the enemy. How can I say that I am a major general, and with Blue Star by my side, it is impossible for them to poison the food. What is the purpose of doing this

Claire was puzzled.

Seeing his son bowed his head in thought, General Byron couldn't help reminding him: "Claire, what do you think?"

"Yes." Claire came back to her senses and said seriously, "I do have experience learning from the marshal. Since the generals trust me so much, I promise to complete the task."

After all, Claire smiled and looked at Jon again. No matter what conspiracy the other party is up to, he has to take over this task. As a soldier, Claire will never compromise——Jon, whatever you want, just let it go!

The next day, Claire led the Star Legion to set off. Xi Wei was very professional and took the initiative to see him off.

Although he only came to see him off for acting, Claire couldn't help but feel better when she saw him wearing the ring she gave her. She smiled and hugged him, saying: "Remember to keep in touch, and also, Egret The energy must be replenished in time, and it must be turned on at all times, so that it can protect you. I have opened a direct communication path for Bailu and Lanxing, and you can contact me at any time if you have anything.”

Xi Wei rolled his eyes: "Got it, why are you so wordy!"

"..." Claire said innocently, "I care about you."

Xi Wei laughed and scolded: "Get out! You're addicted to acting, aren't you?"

Claire smiled slightly, and gently helped Xi Wei straighten his collar before turning and leaving.

Watching the Star Legion's warship soar into the sky, breaking through the clouds, and soon disappearing from sight, Xi Wei was about to return to the palace, but at this moment, his communicator suddenly received a message—

"Dear His Royal Highness Xi Wei, I have something to tell you about the undercurrent organization. Please go to the Royal Hotel VIP Suite No. 8 immediately. See you soon. By the way, please don't disclose this news to anyone. Including your leader, otherwise, the list of members of the undercurrent organization in my hand will be publicly released on all the networks of the empire."

Xi Wei was startled, and immediately asked Bailu to trace the source of the signal, but found that the other party's anti-tracking password was set extremely complicated, and Bailu couldn't find the information related to the signal for a while.

—Who is the other party? Why do you know the existence of the undercurrent

Xi Wei frowned and thought for a moment, and finally decided to go to the scene to see who Fang Xiaoxiao was doing.

He didn't believe it anymore, he was the grand prince of the empire, protected by an S-class mecha egret, on the heavily guarded Capital Planet, who would dare to openly disrespect him as the prince? !
