Chapter 16
"Mrs. Catherine was just too excited. The nurse just fed her some water and it was much better." Allen's etiquette officer smiled and explained to everyone. "The wound on the forehead has also been treated. The doctor said it was not serious, but the doctor thought that Mrs. Catherine needed to lie quietly for a while, so that the two high men did not have to go into the room to visit them."
After being refuted by Pei Yao one by one, Catherine used a common trick in front of her husband: pretending to faint.
If it were normal times, Catherine would have fallen into her husband's arms and was comforted by soft voices, but unfortunately, all three of them were too gentle enough. Alan naturally ignored her. Anthony's plan was messed up by Catherine, and she didn't have the patience to act with her, and Major General Pei Yao...
Allen turned his head and looked at Pei Yao with satisfaction. Just now, when Catherine shouted that her chest was hurting and she was about to fall into a coma, Major General Pei Yao immediately blocked her side and pulled out the photon knife she was wearing around her waist. He didn't relax his vigilance until Catherine stopped moving.
In this way, poor Mrs. Catherine fell firmly to the ground, and her forehead was accidentally knocked by the corner of the table.
Allen shook his head with regret: "It's so regretful. Tell the doctor to do everything he can to help his wife recover at any cost."
The etiquette officer nodded in cooperation: "I will convey your order to the doctor."
Anthony was disgusted by the master and servant, frowned and said, "Since the lady is uncomfortable, let's go out to chat."
"The early budget has probably been released, right? I will send me a copy when I have time, and I will be responsible for this part of the money." Anthony turned on his brain, looked at the buildings inside and outside Alice's manor through the holographic image, and shook his head, "The area covers too much, you have to be careful, if something happens..."
"Don't worry, Brother Anthony." Allen interrupted Anthony lazily, "My Glory Corps will be stationed here after school starts, and there will be no security problems."
When Anthony mentioned this, he felt even more distracted. These days, Alan poached many people he liked under the guise of forming a new legion. The interests of many people in the army were linked together, but Alan insisted on breaking this balance and rebuilding his own order.
Anthony took a deep breath, turned to look at Pei Yao, frowned and said, "What about Pei Yao? Allen... I really don't understand, what do you have to do? Pei Yao grew up in the army and has never been involved in cultural and educational affairs. What can he help you?"
"A lot." Allen said carelessly, "For example, just now, when someone was making trouble, Major General Pei Yao could give a powerful counterattack."
Anthony looked at Pei Yao with a complicated expression, paused, "Allen... He is a sentry. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to let a single sentry without a partner be the principal of the guide school and spend a group of unmarked guides day and night?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry about it. I think you know better than me," Allen's smile on his face became a little lighter. "I have been on Fairy Island for three months, but he has always insisted on not changing his testimony. There are not many people in the entire empire that can do this, right?"
Anthony's face turned red with shame and annoyed. He knew that Allen must have gone to Fairy Island that day to make up Pei Yao's old debts!
Speaking of this, Anthony was very depressed. Ten years ago, he had detained Pei Yao for a while in order to investigate the truth about the attack on the Pearl. Because Auston had scolded him in a slight manner, he had weak legs when he saw Auston in half a year. After many years, Allen was going to speak up for Pei Yao!
"If you are talking about the attack on the Pearl, I have nothing to explain." Anthony waved his hand impatiently, "I have to be careful about the safety of the royal staff. Besides, there are indeed many strange things in that case, otherwise the secret court would not be able to file a case. I have a clear conscience on this matter."
Allen chuckled: "Of course, you did nothing wrong, but everything is too much. Your reaction to the attack was a little too big. I said that you would not pursue it. But you must investigate thoroughly and locked my savior in Fairy Island for three months. I know your noble character and will not misunderstand it, but those who are not familiar with you may doubt that you are trying hard to cover up something. After all... At that time, you just replaced me as the first heir to the throne, and some people with ulterior motives will think more."
"You mean I did the Pearl?" Anthony looked at Allen incredibly and laughed, "This case is still a mystery! Do you think I had that great ability at the beginning?"
Allen smiled faintly: "I said that people who don't know you will misunderstand, and I have never doubted it."
Anthony was blocked by Allen and felt ache. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Whatever you think, haha... You insist on bringing Pei Yao back to you because of this?" Anthony looked at Pei Yao with a complicated look: "Major General... I used to think that you were absolutely loyal to the empire. In recent years, I have also thought about whether to restore your position as commander of the army, but now look..."
"Major General Pei Yao has not disappointed your former trust." Allen curled his lips and smiled, "From the separation of the Pearl to my birthday party a few days ago, Pei Yao and I have never contacted each other for ten years. Of course, believe it or not, it will be up to you."
Anthony looked at Pei Yao hesitantly, and Pei Yao still looked as if he was not surprised by his usual favor and disgrace. He quietly looked at Anthony without saying anything. Allen lowered his head and laughed sarcastically and said, "I knew you wouldn't believe it. I said this too, whatever you want."
"I'm not here to tell you these." Nine of the ten sentences of Allen's speech were fake, twists and turns, and I didn't know that the sentence was confusing myself. Anthony was so troubled that he didn't want to bother with Allen. "I came today to convey His Majesty's expectations for you."
Allen raised his eyebrows and Anthony said: "A year later, if the guide who graduates from here is not better than the one in the White Tower, then His Majesty will take back his previous decision, cancel the 'freestyle' guide teaching, and continue to use the previous model."
Allen smiled: "Is Your Majesty putting pressure on me?"
"You know how precious the guide resources are than me." Anthony stretched out his arms and asked the etiquette officer to put on his coat. "It is a miracle to be able to assign so many guides to let you do experiments. If it cannot achieve any good results, your Majesty will naturally stop in time, so as not to delay more guides from receiving formal education."
Allen sneered: "Formal education, flower arrangement?"
"puff……"
Anthony's etiquette officer couldn't help laughing. Anthony turned his head and glared at him. The poor etiquette officer quickly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, your highness, I've lost my etiquette."
Anthony regretted it. Just let Catherine come and negotiate with Allen. He must follow him if he does anything. Not only did he find the previous situation, he was still full of anger!
"Aren't you waiting for Mrs. Catherine?" Allen kindly reminded, "She is probably still in a coma... She came over on your starship. You left early. How can you let Mrs. Catherine go back?"
Anthony's cultivation was completely exhausted, and he said irritated when he heard this: "Thank you for your reminder, I will send someone to pick her up!" Anthony didn't want to stay here for a second, so he turned around and took everyone away. Alan smiled and sent Anthony to the door. Anthony couldn't help but turn around and said: "Alan... I must remind you not to think the courses in the White Tower are ridiculous. Sentinels will always like weaker guides. You are an ordinary person and you don't understand. As a sentry, I'm very sure."
Allen smiled indifferently and saluted: "Thank you for your reminder, goodbye."
Anthony also saluted perfunctorily and turned and left.
Allen ordered everyone to retreat, smiled at Pei Yao and said, "You heard that your emperor has set a deadline for us. At the graduation ceremony a year later, our students must be much better than those in the White Tower."
Pei Yao's eyes were firm: "I believe you will not lose to Baita Academy."
"Of course." Allen sneered, "The reason why Catherine was so angry that she was about to make trouble was because she was already afraid."
Alan pursed his thin lips slightly, and suddenly turned his tone and leaned into Pei Yao's ear and whispered: "I'm really curious when I said that... Anthony just said that Sentinels always prefer weaker guides, is that true?"
Pei Yao looked at Allen in surprise. Allen stepped forward and got closer, looked into Pei Yao's eyes and asked, "What about you? Do you prefer a weaker guide, or someone like me?"
Major General Pei Yao, who was not at all inferior when he was confronted with Catherine, blushed suddenly and stepped back awkwardly and said, "I..."
"Say." Allen loved Pei Yao's serious look and continued to ask with a smile, "Which type do you prefer? Major General, you won't have confidence in our education yourself, right? I urgently need a sentry to refute Anthony's words just now so that I can have the confidence to persevere."
Pei Yao was speechless. Of course, he couldn't say that he liked someone who was a little weaker, that was equivalent to pouring cold water on himself. He agreed with Catherine and Anthony's point of view, but if he said he liked...
Pei Yao hesitated until he was forced to retreat and was about to be kissed by Allen again, and was embarrassed and said, "I... like you more..."
Just now, Anthony's depression was wiped out, and Allen's heart was instantly clear again.
