With an inexplicable sense of crisis, Morningstar, as a warrior, is definitely much stronger than ordinary people in this regard. Although it is impossible to determine where this sense of crisis comes from, Desirable still attracts the attention of Morningstar.

As if sensing Morningstar's nervousness, Caterina turned around and asked Morningstar with her eyes. Morning Star nodded in response, but Caterina really had the cultivation of Tarzan collapsing forward without changing her face, and she still turned her head with a smile on her face and accepted the congratulations of the guests.

Morningstar looked around for a week, trying to find someone in the crowd who had given him a sense of crisis, but found nothing. The eyes of everyone in the banquet hall were so hot that it was difficult to tell if the heat was here to pay homage to Caterina or if it had other intentions. Raising his hand to connect with the security personnel, Morningstar was told that everything was normal, and that no one was carrying a threatening weapon.

Morningstar frowned at the reply, he believed in his feelings, and this feeling was never missed, allowing him to escape dangerous situations on the battlefield many times. But this time, the opponent was hidden too deep, so deep that even the Morning Star couldn't detect it.

Caterina still shows her cultivation in front of everyone, no matter who it is, whether they know it or not, in the face of blessings, Caterina will smile back with kindness.

Morningstar couldn't stop it, and could only concentrate on guarding against the threat that might arise.

After thanking the guests who kept entering the banquet hall one by one, Caterina sat down on the main seat on the side of the banquet hall accompanied by Morning Star, and Caterina, who had been given a moment of rest, snuggled up to Morning Star and whispered, "Are you sure?" ”

Morningstar didn't answer, just nodded firmly, but never took his eyes off the crowd below.

At this moment, Morning Star regretted a little, in order to protect Norin Hill, Morning Star did not bring this girl of the starry sky spirit into the banquet hall, so now it is impossible to distinguish the true thoughts in the hearts of everyone seated.

Soon after, when Vistock and Elena emerged from the crowd and arrived at Katarina's side, the feast began.

Morningstar has participated in many similar banquets, and the process is similar, starting with nothing more than a speech by everyone, then a toast and a drink, and then continuing to dance or arrange some programs for everyone to enjoy, and those auctions and other things should be interspersed in this process.

As expected by Morningstar, after several invited guests finished speaking, Vestock also walked to the microphone and announced the start of the banquet. Originally, this session was supposed to have Katerina's thank-you speech, but it was canceled due to Morningstar's resolute opposition. Morningstar did this because no matter what it was, Morningstar could no longer protect Caterina closely. Just imagine, the princess is giving a speech in front of the microphone, and there is a morning star like a wooden lump standing behind her.

The banquet went smoothly, whether it was a speech or a drink, even if everyone danced together, there were no accidents. Morning Star is still in the signal of Vistock

Danced with Caterina next. Morningstar is a good fighter, but not a good dancer, and his strange movements make the guests want to laugh but can't. The reason why Vistock arranged this way was actually to let Morningstar block the gun for Katarina, so that Caterina would have a reason to refuse the dance invitation of those wild bees and butterflies. But even so, there are still many so-called young talents of the empire who want to dance with Katarina, but they are all rejected by Caterina on the grounds that the morning star dance is too bad, stepping on her own feet, and she has difficulty moving. As a result, Morning Star once again became a thorn in everyone's side, and the rejected talents all questioned Morning Star with complaining eyes, why are you dancing so badly and still inviting Princess Caterina?

After the guests vented their excitement through dancing, it was finally time to present the gifts to Princess Katarina. This part is also a rather nervous part of Morningstar, considering the safety of Princess Caterina, Morningstar himself acts as a waiter, responsible for taking the gifts from the guests and giving them to Princess Caterina.

The gifts given by the guests were actually very monotonous, and the gifts prepared for the princess's birthday were nothing more than some jewelry and other things, although there were many well-known and famous jewelry, but these did not attract Caterina's special attention, because at this moment, on Caterina's neck, she was carrying the necklace that Morning Star had prepared for her. For Katarina, nothing will make her love more than this necklace.

Morning Star, who temporarily serves as a waiter, is not an expert in the field of jewelry identification, but when he first met Wei Dali, he used the identity of a jeweler's son, and in order to better adapt to this identity, Morning Star still studied in this regard. I have to say that these aristocratic executives really have goods in their hands, and after passing through these jewels in the hands of Morningstar, none of them are defective, and if you take out any one, I am afraid that you can buy the next high-end battleship produced in Itgleeson.

While serving as a bodyguard's accusation and doing the work of a waiter, just as Morning Star focused on the gifts in his hand and the people in the banquet hall, there was a provocative voice that did not know whether to live or die: "Morning Star, as the lover of the princess, you have personally received so many valuable gifts, I don't know what gifts you have prepared for the princess?" ”

It's really a blatant provocation, Morning Star never thought that there would be people who would engage in these jealous actions on such an occasion, you know, it is assuming that the media around the banquet hall will broadcast the situation live to all mankind!

Morningstar turned around and looked at Morningstar's source, and what he saw was a blonde, blue-eyed, fair-skinned, tall imperial young man, at this moment, this man was looking at Morningstar with a proud expression, as if waiting for Morningstar to make a fool of himself.

Morning Star remembered this man, when he received the gift from him before, this person was very unfriendly, and when Morning Star stretched out his hand, he tried to raise the gift box a little higher, so that Morning Star could not receive it and made a fool of himself, but Morning Star's movements were too fast, and after discovering this man's intentions, he immediately accelerated his own movements, so that the other party's purpose was not

Reached. And this man's provocation at the moment may be to satisfy his previous unwillingness.

Although Morningstar wanted to turn around and give the man a middle finger and praise him with a "stupid shortage", it was not quite in line with the current occasion, so Morningstar smiled faintly and said, "I don't know who this is?" ”

Morningstar's attitude was a little arrogant, but no one blamed him, because the young man was not good. The young man stood up straight, and replied: "I am the second son of Montes, the king of the north of the empire, Simon and Montes, and this trip is to send my most sincere wishes to Her Royal Highness the princess on behalf of my father and eldest brother, my father and eldest brother are busy with official business, and they have no time to get out, and I am the plenipotentiary representative of the king of the north!" ”

Yo, King of the North? What's the situation? Sounds like a great thing. Morningstar thought to himself. Although he didn't care about the identity of this guy, in order not to cause trouble to Vistock, he glanced back at Vistock, but saw that this old man's face was as usual, and he didn't have any inclination at all. Morningstar understood, it turned out that he let himself watch it.

Morningstar is notoriously lawless and not afraid of the powerful, and how can a person who even refuses the Ranger badge of the Alliance to his face care about the second son of a so-called king of the north of the empire. It is impossible for Vestock not to think of this, and such a blank face sends a message to Morning Star that Vestock is not very on good terms with the so-called king of the north.

A wicked smile leaked from the corner of Morning Star's mouth, and he said to this Simon or something: "That's a pity, the king of the north and the crown prince can't come, it's understandable, after all, work is too busy." But why do you have time when your father and brother are so busy? Are you the one in your family who eats rice? ”

"You!" Simon raised his hand and pointed at Morning Star, just about to get angry, but was pulled by a man next to him. Immediately, Simon controlled his emotions and said: "I don't care about your previous rudeness, after all, your so-called Itgleeson is just a small planet, and my father, the king of the north, controls hundreds of planets, large and small. Saying this, Simon's face really leaked a look of reverence, and the morning star was speechless.

Simon's proud look faded from his face before he continued, "I wonder what gift Lord Morningstar of Itgleason has prepared for Princess Caterina?" Can you take it out for everyone to see? ”

Simon's words resonated with many people in the audience, seeing Morning Star and Caterina sprinkle dog food saw that their eyes hurt, and now that they have the opportunity to humiliate Morning Star, how could they let it go.

Morning Star turned his head to look at Simon and the people who were heckling him, and said angrily, "How old are you?" I want to listen to you. ”

"Poof!" This is the laughter of the invited nobleman, and Morning Star's answer is too characteristic to make this nobleman uncontrollable.

Katarina, who had been sitting in the main seat, couldn't hold back a little, watching these people constantly pressure the man she loved the most, wanting to stand up and say a few words for Morning Star, but she was held down by Yelena behind her

, shook his head slightly, and motioned for Caterina not to make a move.

Elena knew very well that once Caterina stood up to speak for the Morning Star, she would inevitably show everyone the necklace that the Morning Star had given her. Elena had heard from Morningstar about the special features of this necklace, and on such a sensitive day, it was better not to attract the attention of others.

At this end of the time when the mother and daughter looked at each other, they heard Morning Star continue: "You are an outsider, what qualifications do you have to accuse me? Anyway, I am also Princess Katarina's lover, and the things I give to the princess are all between us, so should you tell the intimate intimacy of your father and mother to unrelated people? ”

Morningstar's words already carried a clear hostility, whether it is the Republic or the Empire, they will try to avoid each other's parents in the quarrel, and Morningstar has obviously moved to anger in doing so. On the other hand, Morningstar's comparison of his relationship with Caterina to Simon's parents is a clear indication that the second son of the king of the north is not qualified to speak to him.

The people present are all veterans who have been in the field of human relations for a long time, and they can all hear the deep meaning of Morning Star's words. And what Morningstar said is not unreasonable, as the lord of Itgleason, although it is a little smaller than the king of the north of the empire in terms of area, but Itgleeson, who has been recognized by the three parties, is no worse than the empire in terms of administrative status. In any case, Morningstar should also be on an equal footing with the king of the north, but now that he has been reprimanded by the younger generation, it is no wonder that Morningstar is angry.

"You!" Simon was about to reason with Morningstar, but was stopped by Vistock.

"Simon, you're going too far!"

Vystock's voice was majestic and majestic, which frightened the young man named Simon to hurry to apologize, but in exchange for only a cold face from Vistock.

Simon regretted it at the moment, it was not that he did not think that his actions might anger Vistock, it was just that jealousy made him lose his proportion.

After a small episode, the gift-giving continued. Slowly, it is no longer jewelry, and the style is gradually increasing. Clothing, precious herbs, rare pets, and even, alien slaves.

Although Morning Star didn't like the practice of gifting alien slaves among nobles, he also knew what it meant to follow the local customs, and the habits formed over thousands of years could not be changed overnight, let alone be recognized by others when he ascended to the heights, so Morning Star could only give Caterina a look, and Caterina also understood what Morning Star meant. These alien slaves, who were given as birthday gifts, were lucky this time, as Caterina would grant them freedom as princesses of the Empire, and Morning Star, the Lord of Itgleason, would also sincerely invite these third types of beings who would not be accepted by most humans to join Itgleason.

Morning Star, who had received the gifts from countless people, was already numb to these things, until the somewhat bald man appeared in front of him. The man didn't introduce himself, just sent a few strange greetings, and then gave a small box in his hand to Morningstar.

The box opened, and the two strange teeth that entered Morningstar's eyes did not look like the teeth of a beast, but more like an alien worm. But even with Morning Star's knowledge, he couldn't tell what kind of insect it was. The gift was strange, but it wasn't unique, Morningstar had received a box of sand and a few plants before, so the box in front of him was nothing.

When Morningstar took his attention off the box and wanted to thank Katerina for the gift, he found that the giver had disappeared into the crowd and was nowhere to be seen. Morningstar sighed at this person's low profile, but at the same time, he felt that something was not right. With a quick glance earlier, Morningstar felt something familiar to him in the man's face, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. It was, the communicator in the ear sounded the anxious voice of Kentas.

"Lord Morningstar, no! That man, the missing Imperial official, has entered the banquet hall! ”

"What!" Morning Star's voice was shocked and indifferent, and he no longer had any scruples about the occasion. The missing person is already strange, and it can be regarded as one of the biggest suspects, and now that this person has appeared in the banquet hall, it means that the assassination of the Heavenly Mandate Sect has officially begun.

"What do you eat? How could such a person be put in! Hurry up and have someone send the information over! ”

Morningstar's performance made everyone in the stadium understand that something was wrong. Although these guests had heard that something might happen to Katarina's birthday celebration, they didn't take it to heart out of concern for the empire, and just took it as a joke. Now, Morningstar's performance has let them know that this time there is really trouble. Almost out of the instinct of the creatures to seek advantage and avoid harm, the vast majority of people in the venue chose to shut up, and no one wanted to be high-profile at this time and become the target of Morning Star.

In the eerie silence, just after Morning Star's words fell, a somewhat familiar voice came from the safe entrance not far away: "Don't bother, what materials to send, I'm here!" ”

Morning Star saw that it was indeed the man who had given the worm teeth just now. It was at this time that Morning Star finally understood where he felt something was wrong. This man's skin color is too dull, and he is too similar to the dead soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Sect!

Instinctively, Morningstar spread his arms, shielding Caterina and Vistock behind him, and looked out into another passage not far away. However, the door of that passage was closed at some point, and the blood-colored eyes leaking from the narrow window made Morning Star completely understand that the Mandate of Heaven Sect had taken control of the escape exit.

"Don't bother, Morningstar! I really didn't expect that this operation of ours would be able to catch your big fish. We've always wanted to infiltrate ItGleason, but there's no gap. I thought we would have to wait until we took the empire before we had the opportunity to attack Itgleason, but I didn't expect you, this guy, to send yourself to the door, what an unexpected joy! ”

Morningstar was decisive and clearly saw the words

The man is the key link in this assassination, and he was about to launch the shadow step to kill him, but he heard the other party shouting: "Morning Star, don't move, I know you very well, your shadow step is indeed capable of killing me in seconds, but you can think about it, if I die, then my body will almost explode, is it powerful, it is probably equivalent to dropping a nuclear bomb in this room!" ”

What are you kidding, suicide bombers? Oh no, it's a human nuke! All of a sudden, Morning Star was really frightened by this guy's words, if it was really as this person said, then everyone in this room would probably turn to ashes!

What to do?
