7. Chapter 007 - Meet Again
"Mrs. Sidney of the Guide Guild ran to the embassy and attacked Prince Ax with her mental power?!" Lin Zexi took the report handed over by the secretary and looked up at the simulated battle room in use.
"Yes, Colonel, I just got the news this evening that Prince Ax has been taken to the central hospital in Cambley."
- The embassy should have its own medical team, and it was sent to the hospital...... Either the situation is really bad, or Carter wants to use this to expand his influence......
"What's the reaction from the Guide Guild?"
"Mrs. Sidney has returned to the Guild of Guides, and an urgent meeting is currently being held, and no internal information has come out," the secretary continued, after a moment's deliberation, "and the embassy has not made any announcement of this to the public until now, nor has it sent any request for communication to the government. β
Lin Zexi was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he probably guessed what the embassy meant.
- Princess Rebecca's status as a guide has made her constrained by the Guide Guild for the past three years, and this is an event worth taking advantage of, and if it works well, it may be her chance to get rid of the "commissioner" of the Guild...... I just don't know what role this "fainted" little prince played in this incident......
After the secretary left, Chen Jing in the simulated battle room also walked out, and when he saw Lin Zexi holding the text jiΓ n clip, he was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Lin Zexi reported the information they had obtained to Chen Jing, hesitated for a moment, and asked tactfully: "General, Prince Akes is hospitalized, do we need to say something." "Like, going for a visit?
"Before the news is made public, there is no need."
As he spoke, he unconsciously remembered a pair of smiling eyes in his mind, shiny, like a small animal, full of expectation and trust, which made people ...... Impact......
Lin Zexi looked at the back of his general thoughtfully-he didn't need it before the news was made public, so what about after the news was made public? If the object is Princess Rebecca, will the general still add this precondition to the "no" decision?
β¦β¦
Contrary to the militarily cold response, the top management of the Guide Association, who was involved in the incident, is expressing their opinions in an emergency meeting.
"This matter cannot be hidden for too long, it must be reacted to immediately, if it rises to an international issue, whether it is an association or the government, it will be very difficult to deal with!"
"The point is, now that the Carter embassy is not immediately pursuing it, what does that make us react? How to react?! β
"At least make an attitude, maybe Carter is not not pursuing it, but the safety of the prince is the priority, once His Royal Highness the prince's situation is not good, it will inevitably cause an uproar, you know, people have just arrived in the Federation, not even 24 hours!" The speaker glanced at Mrs. Sidney, who was sitting across from her, without saying a word.
When everyone present heard this, they all looked at Mrs. Sidney involuntarily, which made her feel a pang of anger in her heart, but she did not show a trace on her face.
Although the "one-way protection" for Princess Rebecca was her application, it was unanimously communicated by the high-level of the Guide Association, and now the embassy is holding back, most likely trying to make a fuss about it! Do you want her to lower her voice and admit her mistakes?!
In the final analysis, she was careless, and always felt that Emperor Augustine would not send this little prince over just because of Akx's outstanding appearance - after all, those who knew a little about General Chen Jingxing knew that he was not a greedy womanizer.
Coupled with Queen Winnie's qualifications, her only son should actually have a good chance of awakening!
If this is the case, as long as she can find any clues when the other party is caught off guard, she can completely control the two royals sent by ZhìCarter, and even Augustine the Great can only come to her at that time!
I didn't expect this Prince Akers to not even count an embroidered pillow, and his mental power was so weak that he collapsed at the slightest touch! She was just tempting, and she was completely sure that she would take it in time, but the result was ...... Falling short!
"Before the Carter royal family issued a statement, the media person will suspend the affairs at hand and rest at home for a while." At this time, Mrs. Reynolds, the vice president who had been quietly listening to everyone, spoke.
"Teacher!" Mrs. Sidney looked at her in amazement.
Mrs. Reynaud ignored it and continued: "The president is not in the country at the moment, so I will take his place and go to Cambley." β
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
From pretending to be dizzy, to really dizzy, to waking up, it was already three days after Ax opened his eyes.
Mrs. Bailey, who was accompanying him, saw that he had woken up, and this lady, who had always been calm and steady, couldn't help but sigh again and again, "God of Light bless."
When Ax saw that he was sleeping in the embassy room, he didn't know that he had gone out for a spin before coming back!
That afternoon, Mrs. Sidney was menacing and sinister, and Ax made an unexpectedly correct move, and Qiuqiu saw this and directly shut down his consciousness - so to outsiders, he was really dizzy.
After such an "accident" happened for a while, Princess Rebecca was shocked, and Madame Sidney had to leave with a wolf, and after the embassy was in chaos, under the organization of Madame Bailey, she first called a doctor from the embassy, determined that the situation was complicated, and then sent the prince to the central hospital in Gombley.
The diagnosis was self-protection after the huge impact on his mental power, and he was assisted in the treatment by a digital guide, which finally allowed the little prince's fragile mental power to be repaired to a certain extent.
That night, Princess Rebecca suddenly sent someone to take Ax back to the embassy.
Mrs. Bailey immediately objected, believing that the matter had seriously violated the physical and mental health of His Royal Highness the Prince, involved in international diplomatic disputes, and should immediately notify the Carter royal family and the federal government, and issue a public statement, and that it should be safe to let His Royal Highness continue to receive treatment in the hospital.
However, Princess Rebecca believes that Mrs. Sidney is not fully representative of the Guild of Guides, and that it would not be detrimental to the friendship between the two countries if they unilaterally escalated the conflict.
She also insisted that Akers, as a member of the royal family, should be responsible, and should not make a fuss over a trivial matter.
Madame Reynolds, the vice-president of the Guild of Guides, came to visit the prince at the embassy the next day, and apologized to the princess very sincerely, mentioning that Madame Sidney had suspended her affairs and would only wait for the president to return to China before proceeding with the next discussion and decision.
When Mrs. Reynolds left, she also took with her the "commissioner" who had been living at the Carter embassy to fulfill her duty to "protect" the princess.
Lady Bailey then understood the real reason for Princess Rebecca's tough attitude!
Knowing the true situation of the prince here, but unable to accuse Princess Rebecca to her face, Lady Bailey can only personally guard the little prince who is still in a coma, hoping that he will be stronger and can survive this hurdle.
Madame Bailey didn't know how to tell His Highness Ax about these things, not only because she was worried that he would not be able to get along with the royal sister if she knew, but also because she was worried that if he didn't know, she would be calculated and hurt in the future.
So in other aspects, I did my best to satisfy him and take care of him in every detail.
"Madame, has my diamond rose sprouted?" The little prince lay obediently under the quilt and looked expectantly at Lady Bailey.
The older lady's face suddenly felt a little unnatural, but she still said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have seen it in the past, Mr. Sean from the greenhouse personally helped you take care of it, and the roses have already sprouted." β
When he awoke, Ax looked at the diamond roses in the vase and told Mrs. Bailey, who was with him, that he was very happy to see so many Carter's flowers on the first day he came.
"I wanted to go and see it again, ask Mr. Sean for some seeds, and plant one myself, but unfortunately ......" Then he looked out the window with a lonely little face.
Mrs. Bailey felt sorry for him, and immediately comforted: "The roses in the conservatory are all cuttings, and if you really want to plant them with seeds, it will take a lot of effort, so it is better to let the conservatory help you plant some, and when you are completely well, you can go directly to see the seedlings." β
"Really? Won't it be a hassle? β
"It's not going to be troublesome, it's a trivial matter, I'll tell the greenhouse, you don't have to worry." Mrs. Bailey was very happy to see him, and was very happy, and went to the conservatory that day.
As for who she met because of this, although she didn't tell Arkes, the fact that the task progress bar of the old moon system slowly moved still made Akes hold the ball and snicker in the quilt.
In fact, some fate is coming, and it can't be stopped.
One night when Ax was completely fine, but was still asked to rest in bed by Lady Bailey, a prompt that the mission of the Moon Elder System had been completed sounded in Akers' mind.
Akers and Qiuqiu, who was rolling around on his lap, were stunned for a moment, staring at each other for a long time before realizing that the first primary task of the system had really been completed!
"Mr. Sean is amazing!" - Confessed so quickly?!
Mrs. Bailey is the last guide, and Mr. Sean, like her deceased husband, is only a "guard" among the sentinels, but the sensory barrier he has built can still protect Mrs. Bailey.
This sincere lady has finally achieved her own happiness, and Ax feels that it is even more worthy of joy than his own rebirth!
In the past, he watched a pair of people who once loved each other separate, even if he was optimistic in nature, he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. Now it seems to be compensating him, giving him the opportunity to see his lover finally married, what a blessing!
Akers excitedly kissed the furry little head of the ball and let the little hairball hide in his quilt shyly.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Got a good reward point and the system was upgraded.
So, the next morning, when the ruddy-faced and radiant Lady Bailey came to visit the little prince, Ax saw the legendary "spirit body" for the first time!
It was a milky yellow Ragdoll cat, very beautiful and elegant, lying on Lady Bailey's lap, and quietly watching Axes with a pair of light blue eyes.
Sentinels and guides have strong mental power, and the phenomenon of spiritual power materialization will occur, and most of them appear in animal form, which is called "spirit body" or "spirit system".
The lowest "guards" of the Sentinels and the lowest "companions" of the guides have no spirit body.
Theoretically, high-level Sentinels and Guides can see the spirit of the same or low-level Awakened in their natural state, but they will sometimes choose to actively hide their spirit - because the state of the spirit can be inferred from the state of the Awakened person.
"Akers' qualifications are very good, if it weren't for pheromone suppressants, and that kind of medicine that destroys mental power, you would probably be a secondary guide now." Qiuqiu said to Axes.
In the realm of Sentinels and Guides, the hierarchy is very clear.
In the same environment, there are at most two leaders, and most of the time, there is only one leader. The number of seats varies depending on the size of the group, but in absolute terms it is very small.
The Minor Sentinel or Guide can only replace the existing Chief and become the new leader of the group if the Spiritual Power is strong enough.
Therefore, for these sentinels and guides, the strength of their mental power directly determines their strength.
"But you can see other people's spirits now, mainly because I'm here." The little furball's smug tone and the little ears that were erected were so interesting to look at.
Ax pinched its little claws and asked expectantly, "Can I see the marshal's spirit body too?" β
Qiuqiu hesitated for a moment, and said, "It should be...... Yes...... As long as he doesn't hide his spirit body, when I get promoted to the intermediate level, he will definitely be able to! β
Akers was not disappointed when he heard this, because these things were already very new to him.
β¦β¦
And, for Ax, there have been two other things that have been pleasing lately.
Because all parties are sending representatives to comfort His Royal Highness the "unwell" prince, especially the military representatives, among them there will be sentinels - they can feel the movement in the room even if they stand outside the door.
Princess Rebecca was worried that the secrets of Ax's room would be discovered by outsiders, so she asked Jenny to secretly remove the surveillance in the room.
After that, Madame Bailey was closely watched, and at the behest of Augustine the Great, the embassy also hired two professionals to take care of the little prince, and those surveillances were not installed again.
Ax estimated that this incident also reassured Princess Rebecca a lot - Ax's mental power was extremely unstable, and it must be that some drugs had already worked, even if the pheromone inhibitor failed in the future, Ax would be useless......
In her opinion, a younger brother who falls when he sees the wind, I am afraid that it will be difficult to become a climate, so why be afraid?
Another thing that makes people happy is that as he slowly recovers, the days go by, and Princess Rebecca's birthday party is approaching.
After the banquet, if Chen Jingxing will keep his promise, he can live in the Marshal's Mansion according to the previous agreement!
Although he was a little reluctant to the loving Lady Bailey and the kind Mr. Sean, the Marshal's Mansion was much safer than the embassy where Princess Rebecca was staying - at this time, he had no choice but to save his life first.
After all, no one knows when Princess Rebecca, who is proud of her temporary escape from the control of the Guide Association, will clean up her "useless" half-brother.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The banquet hall of the embassy in front of it is brightly lit and the final preparations are being made for the banquet. In the small building in the backyard of the museum, Jenny was serving Prince Ax in a newly made gown.
Akes looked at this dark red dress with bronze and gold trim, and felt that the imperial sister had really put a lot of effort into his appearance this time.
The little prince is outstanding, fair-skinned, and the key is that he is very young, but he is actually very suitable for wearing bright or white dresses.
And this dark dress does look noble and stable, but most of the older nobles will choose, if the little prince grows to twenty or thirty years old, it is very suitable.
When Akers met Princess Rebecca in full costume, he found that the other party was wearing a light blue one-shoulder dress, which was neatly cut and had few decorations, which was very different from the traditional dress of the Carter royal family.
"The Federation's military uniform is dark blue, and the style is very simple." Qiuqiu reminded him in Ax's consciousness.
- It turned out that I was wearing a couple outfit with the marshal!
Ax glanced at the bright Princess Rebecca, and sighed in his heart - Qiuqiu said that the marshal's mental power was too strong and interfered with its judgment, so it hadn't calculated the marshal's marriage yet, but Princess Rebecca's had already been calculated, and she was a Federation person of the same age as the princess.
That is to say, Carter's royal family eventually married the Confederacy, but obviously not to the princess and the marshal, because the marshal was five years older than the princess.
The appearance of the sister and brother is naturally high-profile,
His Royal Highness the Little Prince, in particular, stood next to the dance floor in such a low-key manner, and no famous lady wanted to come near him - because it was so shocking!
Princess Rebecca took him by the hand and introduced her younger brother to the dignitaries of the Federation and representatives from the Samuel Empire, who had the dignified temperament of an eldest sister.
At this time, there was some movement at the entrance of the ballroom, and it turned out to be a military representative of the Federation walking in.
As the protagonist of the banquet, Princess Rebecca let go of Ax's hand and stepped forward slowly, as if to greet Chen Jing, but suddenly stopped.
Akers was just strange, and when he saw that General Chen Jingxing and his party had come to him, he looked at it and was stunned.
- Heaven Aru, the marshal is not wearing a military uniform today! The marshal wore a gown!
- The marshal wore a dress with dark red bronze and gold trim!
- He and the marshal wore a dark dress that looked like a couple's outfit so gorgeously!
Not only the princess, the prince and the people around them were stunned, but even Chen Jing himself slowed down for a moment after seeing Ax.
In fact, it is not that there are no other men wearing dresses of the same color and similar styles at the scene, but just these two people are standing face to face, which makes the people around them suddenly have an idea in their minds - a good match!
Princess Rebecca and Prince Ax's faces were slightly red, but one was angry and the other was ......
Well, Akers doesn't know what his face is hot for some reason!
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
It stands to reason that the most honorable man on the scene, or the closest man to the birthday boy, will invite Princess Rebecca to do the first dance of the night.
But as a well-deserved "lead dancer" in the eyes of everyone, Chen Jing did not have any intention of making an invitation, he and his subordinates stood next to the dance floor like this, quietly looking at the center of the hall, as if they were not here to participate in the ball, but as if they were coming to see the military parade!
"Ahem...... I don't know if I have the honor to invite His Highness to dance a dance? β
Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Hardy, as the highest official of the federal government to attend the princess's birthday party, had to stand up at this time.
Princess Rebecca, trying to maintain her demure and composure, graciously accepted Mr. Hardy's invitation and the two stepped onto the dance floor, where the ball officially began to the sound of music.
Although Akes practiced his dancing skills for a while with Qiuqiu, he didn't dare to play lightly to avoid making mistakes under the nervousness, and stood by honestly, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to the marshal's side.
This kind of Cheng DΓΉ's small action was discovered by Chen Jing almost immediately-the other party's "blatant" peek was not only not annoying, but rather a little cute.
Chen Jing glanced at the little prince quietly, and immediately frightened the other party into standing upright, looking obedient, and with that mature style dress, there was quite a sense of joy for children wearing adult clothes.
The sensory barrier of the dark sentinels was quite strong, and no matter how powerful the guides present were, they could not detect Chen Jing's inner feelings at all, not to mention that it was extremely impolite to use empathy in public, and no one dared to do so.
Only a person like Lin Zexi, who has been with Chen Jing for a long time, can instinctively feel that his own general seems to be in a good mood!
The dance didn't last long, Princess Rebecca quickly exchanged salutes with Mr. Hardy, returned to the dance floor, she smiled and walked to Chen Jing's side, and said, "I heard that the general will participate in the joint military exercise between the Federation and the Samuel Empire in the near future?" β
This is information that has been made public by the military, so Chen Jing nodded and said, "Yes." β
- It's really a treasure of words!
Princess Rebecca smiled and said meaningfully, "Carter and the Federation have a deep friendship, and I believe that in the near future, we will be able to hold such a grand event together." β
When Chen Jing heard this, he suddenly turned to Princess Rebecca, and his tone was as strict as ever: "I mentioned to His Highness before, my mother hopes to take His Royal Highness Ax to the Marshal's Mansion to live, and the affairs during the military exercise are complicated, and I am afraid that I will not have time to take care of ......."
He paused and continued: "So I hope that this matter can be implemented before the start of the military exercise......
