Chapter VII

Everda Palace was originally an adult gift from Auston to Queen Marian many years ago. It is also the palace where Queen Marian lived the longest time. After Queen Marian passed away, Auston ordered the palace to be sealed, but for some reason, in recent years, it has become a place that Auston frequently visited.

"Your Majesty." Allen took off his military cap and saluted, "I'm back."

Auston looked at Allen with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice for a while: "Alan, you have grown up."

Alan chuckled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said the same thing to me just now."

Thinking of the holographic image that the two met at the port just now, Auston's face turned a little worse, and paused, "I mean to change Anthony to greet you temporarily. He has too many negative news recently, but he can't keep showing up. It is unfair to you not say hello in advance, but... you didn't suffer any loss."

Alan smiled faintly: "I accidentally stole the limelight from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right? I'm really embarrassed."

Auston has been very ineffective recently. He was too lazy to go around with Allen and said directly: "You know the current situation of the main star. Be cautious when interviewing during this period. The wording must be rigorous. You should know what to say... The top priority is to let the people see the determination of the House of Commons to reform and let them see the sincerity of the royal family. We are determined to improve the current situation... Do you understand what I mean?"

Allen smiled: "Full understand, but your Majesty, why should I do this?"

The giant lion beside Auston slowly arched his back. Auston narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Alan, don't test my patience."

Facing the powerful spirit that came to his face, Alan was not afraid at all, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, if you are not satisfied, you can send me back to Apollo. After solving Anthony's crisis, you probably won't tolerate me continuing to stay in the main star. Instead of being used and discarded me, I would rather leave now. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Auston's giant lion roared angrily. The state of the quantum beast was the most intuitive manifestation of the owner's emotions. Auston was obviously angry. Alan's response was to directly release his Taipan snake. The giant snake slowly raised its head, threatening like a lion spitting out a letter of spitting out a snake.

Auston was extremely glad to give himself a tranquilizer before summoning Allen, otherwise he would be afraid that he would tear his young son away in anger! Isn't he a guide? Auston has seen countless people in his life. This is the first time he saw a guide dare to challenge the sentry and release quantum beasts to threaten him! Is this little boy looking for death?!

The overall situation is the most important thing. Auston comforted the giant lion's mane and stroked it a few times, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want, say it."

Allen said directly: "Military power."

"This is impossible!" Auston refused without thinking, "Anthony has no heir yet. Give you the military power with the second inheritance right to encourage your threat to Anthony! And even if I approve the House, I will not agree. The main star is already messy enough and can no longer be complicated. You want to point something else."

Allen chuckled: "That's a pity, all I want is this."

Auston looked at Allen for a while and finally made a concession: "I can only give you the Imperial Guards, and the regular army should not even think about it."

Allen nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I haven't thought about it."

Auston opened his light brain and frowned and said, "Who do you want that team? Don't tell me that I want the Paladin legion, it was owned by the princes of all generations, and this is unconventional."

"The crown prince owns his own private..." Allen laughed sarcastically and continued, "I want to reorganize my own guards, with the name tentatively set as the Legion of Honor, and the candidates will be chosen by myself."

Auston nodded: "The number of people cannot exceed half of the Paladin Legion. What about the commander of the Corps? Who do you want to choose?"

A soft light flashed deep in Alan's eyes, and he whispered: "Pei Yao."

Auston sneered: "I said, don't even think about the people of the Paladin Legion."

"I only want Pei Yao." Alan felt a little uneasy when he remembered the situation at the port just now. If he read it correctly, the cross medal belonging to Pei Yao is now being worn on Matthew's stupid dog. What about Pei Yao? It's only ten years, so it won't be promoted again, right?

"I can't promise you this." Auston looked at Allen coldly, "Pei Yao's father was my brother who lived and died together. His parents both died in battle for the empire. I promised that he would become my right-hand man in the successor like his father. That's why I made an exception to let him become the commander of the legion at a young age. Now I give you people. Not only will I be sorry for my dead brother, but I will also be prone to arguing about it that I shouldn't have."

Alan frowned slightly: "But now, he seems to be no longer the commander of the Knights."

When he mentioned this Auston, he felt tired and waved his hand and said, "There are too many things involved in this, I will tell you in detail later."

Allen had to give up and said, "That happens that he is not the commander of the legion, and it will not cause much impact to be dispatched to me."

"I said no!" Auston's patience was completely exhausted. "You have to want him? Yes, reduce the guards by half, and I will give him to you, otherwise don't think about it."

Allen's Taipan Snake instantly stood up, Auston looked at Allen with a sneer: "After thinking about it, then answer, do you want half of the military power or Pei Yao?"

Allen's eyes were full of hostility, and after a few seconds of stalemate, he said: "Military power."

Auston felt a little relieved for no reason when he heard this, and Anthony felt a little regretful when he thought about it.

"That's it." Auston signed the document and explained, "Three days later it will be your 24th birthday. Then, I will hold a birthday party for you here. I will have someone to screen the right reporters and you know what to say during the meal. You'd better say hello to Farmiga. We are very passive now and need a family with great influence to come forward and speak."

Auston handed the delegated documents to Allen, and suddenly tightened his hands and said in a deep voice: "I have signed the bill, I hope you can satisfy me in the result, and..." Auston looked at the snake on the ground with disgust: "Precaution your snake! Once the identity of the guide is exposed, the consequences will be borne by you!"

Allen sneered and drew the documents: "Now you can tell me about Pei Yao, right? I haven't found out about him over the years. Why is it?"

"Pei Yao..." Auston tapped the table lightly and said slowly, "Ten years ago, he was involved in a confidential military case. Anthony was very sensitive and attached great importance to this case, but Pei Yao has always been very uncooperative. Although the secret court later acquitted him due to insufficient evidence, he still lost Anthony's trust because of this case. Anthony used other excuses to make the House remove him from his post. Now... he has become an ordinary knight in the Legion."

Allen looked at Auston in disbelief: "He is involved in a military confidential case? What case?!"

A secret military case ten years ago, Alan felt an ominous premonition in his heart. Auston did not keep it in a silence and said bluntly: "It is the case that escorted you to Apollo Star and was almost hijacked."

Allen laughed: "He saved almost everyone at that time! Why did he investigate him?! Anthony was crazy?"

Auston said lightly: "The autopsy report shows that the seven enemy elements in the Pearl West were killed after they were unconscious." Auston glanced at Allen's Taipan Snake, "You should know this better than me."

Allen avoided this question, frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with Pei Yao?"

"At that time, there were only two of you in the entire western area, and you were 'frightened and unconscious', then only Pei Yao knew the real situation at that time." Auston laughed sarcastically, "And Pei Yao also destroyed all the surveillance in the western area. The autopsy report could not deceive people. The rescuers had already boarded the ship. Pei Yao silenced all the enemy personnel who had lost their power and wiped out the records in such a short time. Alan, if you are a bystander, don't you think this is too unconventional? Why Pei Yao was so eager to destroy the corpse? This cannot make people not doubt that he might have an ulterior motive relationship with the enemy! Moreover, a nurse on the Pearl once pointed out that Pei Yao's behavior had many suspicious aspects on the day he was attacked by the enemy."

Allen gritted his teeth and felt the fluctuating mental power of his youngest son. Auston felt a sense of pleasure: "Pei Yao was arrested after returning to the main star. It is related to you, unknown enemy attacks, and the commander of the Imperial Guards who are related to his personal safety. Anthony cannot be careless. Pei Yao stayed in a confidential prison for three months. Although I warned Anthony not to torture, I am not sure whether he had used other torture methods against Pei Yao, such as... a mental attack."

Allen tried his best to appease his quantum beast and asked in a low voice: "What's the result?"

"During the three-month review, Pei Yao remained silent from beginning to end, without saying a word." Auston looked at Allen, "What were you doing at that time? Oh... I enjoy the most luxurious recuperation in the entire empire on Apollo, which is like spring all year round."

Allen finally couldn't control himself and was furious: "You know the situation at that time! Why didn't you say something for Pei Yao?! With you coming forward, Anthony dares to be so presumptuous?!"

Auston put away his smile and shouted coldly: "You are so good at taking advantage of this here! Why can't I testify? Don't you know very well?! Do you need me to announce your identity as a guide to the entire empire to prove Pei Yao's innocence? I have tried my best to close his news for the past ten years, for him and for you!"

Alan was speechless and said hurriedly: "I changed my mind! Take back half of my military power, I want Pei Yao..."

"It's too late!" Auston put away his pen that had been used for almost a century and smiled faintly, "As a prince, you never have the right to regret it."
