From the time I found the bomb to the time it was thrown out and then it exploded in the lake, it took me about 15 seconds or so, and I belonged to the kind of people who were a little slow to react, if it wasn't for the strong demonic support, maybe 100 lives would have been delivered, even if it was a bomb that hadn't been detonated yet, it would never take more than a finger to hook from pressing the button to exploding.

So the physical time I used by ordinary people should not exceed 0.1 seconds, fortunately it is me who faces this situation, and fortunately there is an artificial lake outside, and one of these two conditions will not have a good result. I've heard that some of the best bodyguards in the world go through one of the harshest trainings: they can dodge an opponent with a gun by watching the movement of their index finger to determine where the bullet is going, but luckily I don't need that training, I can wait for the bullet to come out. Through this experience, I came to the conclusion that bombs are much more difficult to deal with than bullets, especially bombs that have already exploded, and in fact, as a bodyguard, I should not rashly reveal gifts of unknown origin.

The bomb exploded in the lake, almost turning all the water inside into the sky, and the waves of water bounced back, crackling and breaking a lot of glass, and the people sitting at the window all changed from polite gentlemen and ladies to chickens, but they also watched a rare sight.

The waiter who brought us food was still standing at our table at this time, just blocking most of the waves, after all, he was strictly trained, it was rare that he still kept his composure, he held the tray in one hand, it was already full of water, and when the water surface was calm again, he slowly came back to his senses, and roughly deduced that a series of changes were caused by me throwing his new food into the lake, and he asked me wetly: "Sir, do you have any opinion on our food?" ”

"Uh...... No, it's too hot......"

At this time, the guests asked, "What's going on?" ”

The waiter waved his arms and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone, this gentleman threw the vegetables into the lake." ”

Suddenly, someone asked: "What kind of dish can I also have a serving, which can stir up such a high wave?" ”

Some people also asked, "Is there a water monster in the lake?" ”

I took advantage of the chaos to pull Catherine out of the table quickly, and no one in the country, who had been peaceful for a long time, thought of such a bomb, and if it had been in Baghdad or Afghanistan, it is estimated that the people would have run out long ago.

The doorman parked the car in front of us for us, and I still got into the cab in pretence, and only when the door was closed did Ekaterina crawl from behind.

She asked expressionlessly while fastening her seat belt, "Was it a bomb just now?" ”

I finally got a little crazy and said, "Who the hell have you offended?" ”

Ekaterina drove slowly along the road and said lightly: "It's time to tell you, otherwise it will be unfair to you." She asked me, "Do you know what my country's full name is?" ”

I said, "Kingdom of Fuga." ”

"Yes, do you know what it means to be a kingdom?"

I wondered, "A country with a king?" ”

Catherine smiled bitterly: "Almost, I don't know if you have noticed, all the written documents mentioning my country have a note: the only remaining countries in the world where royal power is supreme. ”

"And what does that mean?"

"That's because you still don't understand the meaning of the supremacy of royal power, although Britain and Denmark still have royal families, but the actual power has long been controlled by the cabinet, to put it bluntly, it is a kingdom that exists in name only, and the supremacy of royal power means: the whole country is still decided by the king alone, politics, finance, justice, the king still has the power of life and death, my father Huns. Du Fang was such a king. My country is rich in gold mines, diamonds, forests cover more than 80% of the area, the population is less than a million but there are two oil fields with reserves of 100 million tons, it can be said that any citizen of our country can be regarded as a rich person anywhere in the world, my father's surname is gentle, he advocated the rule of inaction, in the 35 years of his rule, except for a few civil disputes, there were hardly any criminal cases with bad surnames in the country, and our country has only 2,000 police officers who maintain traffic and 3,000 registered militiamen, and there is no army in addition. ”

I stammered, "What if someone robs?" ”

Ekaterina looked at me and said, "Why rob? Everyone is very rich, and our country has never opened up to the outside world on a large scale, and the people who go to travel have been approved by layers of approval, and they are richer than us. ”

"And then?"

"On a hiking trip to the Middle East, my father and my uncle were warmly welcomed by the local royal family, and they stayed there for a long time, and then my father brought back Daddy Ghosh, and my uncle got acquainted with terrorism."

I was stunned and said, "Taliban? ”

Catherine said: "The Taliban is not the only terrorist organization in the world, and it is by no means the only people in the Arab world who are keen on it, terrorism is an extremely selfish doctrine, in order to achieve the goal of doing everything possible, Taliban, [***], 911 are just a few of the most famous terms we know, in fact, thousands of civilians around the world die every day in the shadow of terrorism, but unfortunately my uncle is fascinated by it." ”

I was depressed and said, "Why? ”

Catherine sighed and said: "A country like our Fuga Kingdom will never be self-sufficient if it wants to live a good life, first of all, our industry will not work, and many necessities of life need to be imported. In the process of trade, we were often bullied because our country was weak, and my uncle was young and vigorous, but because our country did not have any influence and military strength at all, he had to swallow his anger. Until he got acquainted with a few terrorist leaders, they did help him teach a few small countries. ”

I suddenly said: "Later, they asked for the surname to be embarrassed? ”

Catherine nodded, "My uncle began to work closely with these people after tasting the sweetness, and he spent a lot of money to arm their men, and they helped him do some unseemly things. It got to this point that my father couldn't leave it alone, and he reprimanded him harshly, but by this time our country was no longer free from the effects of terrorism. On the one hand, his uncle was forced to give him false accusations because of his father's prestige in the country, and on the other hand, he continued to step up his cooperation with terrorists, and in the past few years, his father's health had weakened sharply, and his uncle became even more unscrupulous, and now he has mastered the financial power of the country, and he has a large group of outlaws under his command. ”

As if listening to a commentary, I asked, "What about military power?" ”

"They don't have any military power at all, and those 3,000 militiamen are nothing in my uncle's eyes, and to put it mildly, I think they're less vulnerable than the murderous terrorists."

I nodded, "You can see from the bodyguards you brought with you - after talking about it for a long time, I still don't know who is going to kill you." ”

Catherine smiled sadly: "It came from a conversation, when I was still in the country, at a court banquet, my uncle who had already gotten carried away talked about what would happen to him after he took over the country, and my father only said one sentence: I will have Catherine after I die." ”

I sighed and said, "I'm so stupid, in your family, I should have known who was going to kill you when I heard that you had an uncle." "A typical bloody court drama!

Catherine said: "Not really, my uncle still loved me very much when I was a child, and when he realized that I was the only legal heir, I could vouch for him that he didn't mean to harm me at first, he tried to persuade me to publicly renounce my heirship, but how could I hurt my father like that?" When I was 19 years old, I couldn't stand the intrigue at home, so I started to travel around the world, but when I took the first step out of the house, I knew that I was very wrong, and my uncle's partners in China still had scruples, but now they are using this opportunity to completely eradicate me, and if my uncle ascends to the pole, their cooperation can go on forever. ”

I said, "Did your uncle personally order you to be hunted down?" ”

Ekaterina shook her head slowly: "I don't know, I'd rather believe that there isn't." ”

I laughed and said, "Even if I didn't, I acquiesced, so- it's all pretty much the same." ”

Catherine said: "If you hadn't promised your father, in fact, it would be nothing to give up the throne to your uncle, after all, he is also for the prosperity of the Fuga Kingdom." ”

I said, "Do you still think so?" ”

"I don't know anymore, I haven't been back all these years, I don't know what I'm running away from or waiting for in my heart." Speaking of which, she muttered as if to herself, "Someday it will come to fruition, won't it?" ”

"Then why don't you go back again?"

Catherine shrugged: "I'd rather live the life I have now than go back, now not only can't face my father, but even my uncle doesn't know how to get along." ”

I concluded: "So, the people who are going to kill you are terrorists almost all over the world? ”

Catherine glanced at me and said solemnly: "Yes, so I have to tell you, if you feel pressured, you can leave me immediately, and I will excuse you on your side of the political axe." ”

I shook my head and smiled, "No, dear princess, I've already received money from others." ”

Ekaterinach said: "Who? ”

"We're the ones with the axe."

"How much did you charge them?"

I smirked, "By the hour." ”

Catherine was interested: "How much is an hour?" ”

"Uh, 20 dollars an hour until you leave China."

Catherine almost drove the car into a tree, complaining: "Is it worth 20 dollars an hour to protect me?" If I had been willing to pay $200 to continue to hire you to accompany me around the world. ”

I wondered, "Are you willing to hire someone like me?" ”

"You look like a good guy, but you react quickly, and as far as I can see, if you were going to throw that bomb a second slower, we might be dead by now."

I said in my heart that this is not a matter of one or two seconds at all, if it wasn't for me just now, no matter how many bodyguards would have died, and her sentence "It looks very vegetable" made me very depressed, but I thought about the second half of her sentence, and I was puzzled: "Why were you willing to continue to hire me before, now?" ”

Catherine looked at it and said, "You just called me princess again, but I like the prefix." ”

I recalled that I had just called her "dear princess", and my face couldn't help but heat slightly, and I said indiscriminately: "I will definitely call you Zhaodi in the future." ”

Ekaterina said blankly: "By the way, what does Zhaodi mean?" ”

When I explained "Zhaodi" to her in detail and told her that this name had a broad mass base in China, especially in China a few years ago, Catherine said, "I think you should call me princess first." ”

I smiled and said, "Okay." ”

"I'm talking about the princess."

"No problem, Zhaodi."

Ekaterina said helplessly: "Thank you! ”

I said, "You're welcome, Zhaodi." ”
