Chapter 26 The Supremacy of Royal Power

From the time I found the bomb to throwing it out and then exploding it in the lake, it took me about 15 seconds. I belong to the type of person who is a bit slow to react. If it weren't for the strong demonic power, I might have lost 100 lives.

Yes, even if the bomb has not yet detonated, the time from pressing the button to exploding will never exceed the click of a finger.

Therefore, the physical time I used for ordinary people should not exceed 0.1 seconds. Fortunately, it is me who is facing this situation, and fortunately there is an artificial lake outside. If either of these two conditions is missing, there will be no happy ending. I heard that the world

Some of the top bodyguards in the world undergo the most rigorous training: when faced with an opponent holding a gun, they can judge the direction of the bullet by observing the movement of the opponent's index finger and avoid it in advance. Fortunately, I don't need this kind of training. I can

Let’s wait until the bullets are fired. Through this experience, I came to the conclusion that bombs are much more difficult to deal with than bullets, especially bombs that have exploded. In fact, as a bodyguard, I should not rashly reveal gifts of unknown origin.

The bomb exploded in the lake, almost all the water in it rose to the sky, and the water waves bounced back, shattering a lot of glass. The people sitting at the window were all transformed from gentle gentlemen and ladies into drowned rats, but because of this

Saw a rare sight.

The waiter who delivered our food was still standing in front of our table, blocking most of the water waves. After all, he had received strict training. It was rare that he remained calm. He held the tray in one hand, which was already full of water.

, when the water surface returned to calm, he slowly came back to his senses, and roughly deduced that the series of changes were caused by me throwing his new dishes into the lake. He asked me wetly: "Sir, are you

Do you have any comments about our food?"

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

At this time, the guests asked one after another: "What's going on?"

The waiter waved his arms and said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, it was this gentleman who threw the dishes into the lake."

Suddenly someone asked: "What kind of dish can stir up such a high excitement?"

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

I took advantage of the chaos and pulled Ekaterina out of the meeting quickly. No one in the country, which has been at peace for a long time, thought about bombs. If this was in Baghdad or Afghanistan, everyone would have fled long ago.

The doorman parked the car in front of us, and I still pretended to get into the cab. After closing the door, Ekaterina climbed over from behind.

While fastening her seat belt, she asked expressionlessly: "Was it a bomb just now?"

I finally got a little crazy and said, "Who did you offend?"

Ekaterina drove the car slowly along the road and said calmly: "Now is the time to tell you, otherwise it will be unfair to you." She asked me, "Do you know the full name of my country?

What?"

I said: "The Kingdom of Fuga."

"Yes, then do you know what the kingdom means?"

I wondered: "A country with a king?"

Yekaterina smiled bitterly and said: "Almost, I don't know if you have noticed, but all written documents mentioning my country have a note: one of the few remaining countries in the world where royal power is supreme."

"What does that mean?"

"That's because you still don't understand the meaning of the supremacy of royal power. Although countries like the United Kingdom and Denmark still have royal families, the actual power has long been controlled by the cabinet. To put it bluntly, they are kingdoms in name only and de facto capitalist countries, and the supremacy of royal power

It means: The king still has the final say in the entire country. In politics, finance, and justice, the king still has the power of life and death. My father, Hons Dufang, is such a king. My motherland is rich in gold mines.

, diamonds, the forest coverage area reaches more than 80%, the population is less than one million, but there are two oil fields with a reserve of 100 million tons. It can be said that any citizen of our country can be considered a rich person anywhere in the world. My father’s character

He is moderate and advocates rule by inaction. During his 35 years in power, except for a few civil disputes, there were almost no vicious criminal cases in the country. Our country only has 2,000 police officers for traffic maintenance and 3,000 registered militiamen. In addition, there is no army.

.”

I was speechless: "What should I do if someone robs me?"

Yekaterina glanced at me and said: "Why are you robbing? Everyone is rich, and our country has never opened up to the outside world on a large scale. People who travel have been approved at all levels, and they have more money than us.

Woolen cloth."

"Then what?"

"During an excursion to the Middle East, my father and my uncle were warmly entertained by the local royal family. They stayed there for a long time, and then my father brought Ghosh back with him, and my uncle became acquainted with terrorism.

.”

I said in shock: "Taliban?"

Ekaterina said: "The Taliban is not the only terrorist organization in the world, nor is it only people in the Arab world who are keen on it. Terrorism is an extremely selfish doctrine, and it will do anything to achieve its goals.

, Taliban, Bin Laden, 911 are just a few of the most famous terms we know. In fact, thousands of civilians die in the shadow of terrorism every day around the world. Unfortunately, my uncle

I'm fascinated by this."

I said depressedly: "Why?"

Yekaterina sighed and said: "If a country like our Kingdom of Fuga wants to live a good life, it will never be self-sufficient. First of all, our industry is not good. Many daily necessities need to be imported. And in trade

In the process, we were often bullied because our country was weak. My uncle was young and vigorous at the time, but because our country had no influence or military strength at all, he had to swallow his humiliation. Until he met several terrorist leaders, and they also

It really helped him teach a few small countries a lesson."

I suddenly said: "Then they just got into trouble?"

Yekaterina nodded and said: "After my uncle tasted the sweetness, he began to cooperate closely with these people. He spent a lot of money to arm their men, and they helped him do some dishonorable things. Things have reached this point.

, my father could not ignore it, and he severely reprimanded his uncle, but at this time our country could no longer get rid of the influence of terrorism. On the one hand, my uncle was forced by his father's prestige in the country to do nothing to him;

The government continued to intensify its cooperation with terrorists. In the past few years, my father's health declined rapidly, and my uncle became even more unscrupulous. Now he has taken control of the country's financial power and has a large group of desperadoes under his command."

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

"There is no military power at all. In my uncle's opinion, the 3,000 militiamen are useless. To put it bluntly, I also feel that they are vulnerable compared to those murderous terrorists."

I nodded and said: "You can tell from the bodyguards you brought - after talking for a long time, I still don't know who wants to kill you."

Yekaterina smiled sadly and said: "It came from a conversation. When I was still in China, at a palace banquet, my uncle who was already carried away was talking about what he would do after taking over the country. My father only said one sentence

:There will still be Catherine after I die."

I sighed and said: "I'm so stupid. In your family, I should have known who wanted to kill you as early as when I heard that you had an uncle." A typical bloody palace drama!

Yekaterina said: "Not necessarily. My uncle still loved me very much when I was a child. When he realized that I was the only legal heir, I can guarantee for him that he did not mean to harm me at the beginning. He

Trying to persuade me to publicly renounce my identity as heir, but how could I hurt my father like that? After the plan failed, he began to exclude me everywhere. I was only 19 years old at the time, and I really couldn't stand the atmosphere full of conspiracy in my family, so

I started to travel around the world, but when I took my first step out of the house, I knew that I was wrong. My uncle's partners in China were still wary, but now they are taking advantage of this opportunity to eradicate me completely. If

If my uncle ascends to the throne, their cooperation can continue forever."

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

Ekaterina shook her head slowly and said: "I don't know, I would rather believe not."

I laughed and said, "Even if I don't, I'll acquiesce, so - it's almost the same."

Yekaterina said: "If I hadn't promised my father, it would actually be okay to give up the throne to my uncle. After all, he also wanted to make the Fuga Kingdom strong."

I said: "Do you still think so now?"

"I don't know anymore. I haven't been back in these years. I don't know what I'm running away from or what I'm waiting for deep in my heart." She said as if mumbling to herself, "One day it will happen."

It’s the result, isn’t it?”

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

Ekaterina shrugged: "I would rather live this life than go back. Now not only can I not face my father, but I don't even know how to get along with my uncle."

I concluded: "So, the people who want to kill you are almost all terrorists in the world?"

Yekaterina 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 from your government."

I shook my head and said with a smile: "No, dear princess, I have already collected money from others."

Ekaterina asked curiously: "Whose?"

"Our government's."

"How much did you charge them?"

I said proudly: "It's calculated by the hour."

Ekaterina asked with interest: "How much does it cost per hour?"

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

Ekaterina almost drove the car into a tree and said dissatisfied: "Is it worth 20 yuan an hour to protect me? If I had been willing to spend 200 US dollars to continue hiring you to accompany me around the world."

I wondered: "You are willing to hire someone like me?"

"Although you look like a bad guy, your reactions are very quick. According to my observation, if you had been a second slower to throw away the bomb just now, we might have died a long time ago."

I thought to myself that this was not a matter of one or two seconds at all. If it hadn't been for me, no matter how many bodyguards there were, they would have died long ago. Moreover, her sentence "Looking very good" made me very depressed, but I thought about the second half of her sentence.

He asked in confusion: "Why were you willing to continue to hire me before, and now?"

Ekaterina looked around and said, "You just called me princess again, but I like the prefix."

I recalled that I just called her "dear princess", and I couldn't help but feel my face heat up slightly, and said casually: "I will definitely call you Zhaodi from now on."

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

When I explained "Zhao Di" to her in detail and told her that this name has a broad mass base in China, especially in China in the past few years, Ekaterina said: "I think you should call me princess first.

.”

I smiled and said, "Okay Zhaodi."

"I'm talking about the princess."

"No problem, Zhaodi."

Ekaterina said helplessly: "Thank you!"
