After Crossing, I Marked the Empress

Chapter 172: The Problem Of Choosing A Mate For The Little Princess

Inside the majestic and gorgeous palace.

The originally happy atmosphere was suddenly broken by a heart-piercing howl.

Lauren Cole herself was startled by her own screams.

As the captain of the Soul Shadow Commando, she is also an A-rank alha, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible for her to scream out of fear or pain.

Unless you can’t help it.

Previously, when she first started to compete with Shen Han, she was still full of confidence.

Because both sides were not allowed to release pheromones, she felt that she would definitely win in the comparison of strength alone.

She has a sturdy physique, close to 180 centimeters in height, and her muscles have become lumpy, looking like a bodybuilder.

And the tall and well-proportioned Shen Han stood with her, and she felt a faint feeling of thinness against the background.

However, just when Lauren Cole was about to give a hard lesson to the alha who disturbed her interest repeatedly, she was startled by the burning sensation in her palm.

The hot high temperature spread all the way from the palm to the back of the hand, and in just a short moment, she felt that her entire palm seemed to be burning.

It was as if his hand had reached into a forging furnace, and under the splash of molten iron, the flesh and bones would be incinerated!

The incomparably real burning pain and the huge fear that surged in her heart made Lauren Cole scream without caring about the image and the occasion.

Seeing that the guard was running towards him with a gun, Shen Han released his grip.

She took a step back and spread her hands in front of her, signaling that she didn’t take any weapons.

Lauren Cole, who felt that he had regained his life, stared at his intact palm and checked it over and over.

That look, as if for the first time she discovered that she had grown hands.

Flesh was not broken, bones were not broken.

Lauren Cole gasped for breath, and her frightened appearance caused the guards around her to look at each other.

“What’s the matter? What did you just do?” The guard asked Shen Han first.

Shen Han said calmly: “Shake hands with Captain Lauren Cole.”

Hearing such an answer, the guard was immediately taken aback.

He thought to himself: Shake hands? How come Lauren Cole’s reaction is like being blown up by a cannonball?

After a little silence, the guard turned his attention to the tall commando commander: “Is what she said true?”

Lauren Cole wanted to refute, but didn’t know how to say it.

It’s impossible to tell everyone that the federal woman hurt herself, right?

Do you want your own skin?

After holding back for a long time, Lauren Cole finally had to acquiesce to Shen Han’s statement.

And forcefully explained: “There was a little accident just now.

The king’s attendant came in a hurry, and after listening to the words of the two, he found several ghost commandos who were also in the rest area and asked.

“What did your captain do before shaking hands with the federal officer? Tell me what kind of conversation the two of them had.”

The commandos knew that this was what King Halls wanted to know, and they didn’t dare to hide it. They replied one by one: “The captain is chatting up with Miss Xu Zhao, and the federal officer is here.”

“They chatted about the night of Kesen Luodian, and then they started shaking hands. An accident happened.”

The attendant’s eyelids trembled, and he asked another two people to ask. After getting the same answer, he hurried back to the banquet hall to return to the old king.

Although Halls is in his 70s, his mind is not muddled at all.

After listening to the attendant’s report, he knew the cause and effect of the matter.

The Duke of Frankel was a flirtatious one, and his daughter was as much as he was.

Even the special assistant of the Empress of the Federation dared to provoke, and there was nothing to say about being cleaned up.

Thinking of this, Halls raised his eyes to look at Gu Junwan, and told the little episode that happened in the rest area next door in the form of chatting and laughing.

Afterwards, he seemed to reminisce: “If I remember correctly, the captain of the guard once helped Quintina Ji, and the lady is really full of talents.”

In the Alpaca Cafe incident a year ago, Shen Han actually saved Quintina Ji’s life.

Now the old king secretly changed the concept of “rescue” to “help”, and the meaning revealed was actually conveying to Gu Junwan: The weight of that incident cannot affect our cooperation this time.

Prince Joles was also at the banquet. After he understood the meaning of his grandfather’s words, he immediately wanted to say a few words of justice for the lady.

If it wasn’t for the other person who came forward, he would have no cute sister now.

However, before Joles could say anything, the old king looked at him sternly and stopped his next words and deeds.

The actions and thoughts of the grandfather and grandson were clearly captured by Gu Junwan.

She didn’t feel any resentment about the old king’s slanderous attitude of not wanting to admit it.

As the leader of the same country, she understood the old king’s approach very well.

Repaying gratitude is a good quality, but it would be rash if it is only based on this point to decide the cooperation between the two countries.

In fact, even if the old king didn’t say anything, Gu Junwan would not ask the other party for anything in return.

The decisive factor to increase energy cooperation with Kesenluoden lies in the compatibility of the national strength and strategic development of the two countries.

If the old king would make decisions based on personal emotional preferences, he would have been unstable in his current position.

Gu Junwan held a napkin and wiped lightly on her lips.

Her slender hands and graceful posture made many dining staff at the same table look at her in secret.

After putting the napkin away, Gu Junwan started to speak.

“Thank you for the praise. It is the responsibility of the Free Federal Government to ensure the safety of the public and foreign guests.”

“In recent years, the development of the Federation has changed with each passing day. If you come to travel, you will definitely have a wonderful experience.”

Gu Junwan did not mention anything about this energy cooperation, but simply introduced the customs of the Free Federation to the princes and dukes present.

The lady spoke clearly, and her voice was soft and pleasant like a trickle.

Just listening to her talk was a delightful experience.

In just two or three minutes, many powerful figures in Kesenluodian have already shown a strong interest in the Free Federation.

Gu Junwan didn’t recommend it at length. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set up, she changed her words and said to the old king: “Your palace is heavily guarded and extremely safe.”

“The Soul Shadow Commandos don’t actually need to be protected, they can play a bigger role elsewhere.”

It was Gu Junwan’s plan to move the tall commando away from her side.

Even without the opportunity in the rest area just now, she would have made such a request to the old king.

And now that she can take this topic so seamlessly, she is naturally happy to see it happen.

Thinking of this, Gu Junwan’s mind couldn’t help but resurfaced Shen Han’s proud golden hair in the daytime.

Her red lips curled slightly, eager to reward an alha with a kiss right away.

How could that person do that? Everything you do is right on your own.

The old king heard Gu Junwan’s dislike for the Soul Shadow Commando, and immediately agreed to the exchange.

He raised his glass, and a few words took the topic elsewhere.

In a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, a table of people continued to eat.

At the same moment, the rest area next door also returned to its previous calm.

Lauren Cole left the palace with a dismal face with his team, and before leaving, he did not forget to give Shen Han a vicious look.

After seeing the other group of people disappear, Xu Zhao said to Shen Han in a voice that the two of them could hear: “Have I caused trouble for you and Your Majesty?”

Shen Han smiled mysteriously at the other party: “Don’t worry, not only will Jun Wan not feel troublesome, she might even praise you for doing a good job!”

Xu Zhao didn’t know that the commando had offended Gu Junwan, and after listening to Shen Han’s words, the whole person was a little dazed.

Shen Han didn’t explain too much. After finishing the riddle just now, she returned to the group of guards.

…

In the northwest area of the palace, stands a fairytale castle.

The castle is arched and surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens.

Standing on a high balcony and looking out, you can have a panoramic view of the entire palace.

When the old king had dinner with Gu Junwan, Quintina Ji was sulking in this beautiful castle.

Now she is 18 years old, and not long ago, a grand coming-of-age banquet was held for her in the palace.

Her pheromone acceptance disorder has also been greatly improved under medical treatment.

But the accompanying matter of choosing a mate made the little princess resist.

She felt that even without the pheromone of alha, she could easily get through the fever period by suppressing drugs.

Grandpa and brothers are always looking for a variety of alhas to choose from.

It should have been an expected love, and it has come up with a taste of assembly line production.

Because of this, the little princess lost her temper several times, and even the old king with absolute authority did not dare to provoke her.

Right now, the maid Julie is shrinking her head and apologizing to the little princess who has her back turned to her: “Don’t be angry, I will follow your instructions and tell Prince Joles tomorrow morning that you are not feeling well and ask him to cancel the party arranged for you.”

Hearing this, Quintina Ji immediately stretched her brows.

She sat on the bed and had fun for a while, then continued to hold the back of her head to her maid, and said aggrieved: “I don’t want to rebel against my brother, but the alhas he chose are really bad.”

“Take Lauren from the Duke of Frankel’s house as an example. She is so burly and like a hill. I feel like a doll rabbit in front of her. She can strangle me with her hands.”

Julie thought for a while, and then tried to ask, “What about Richards from the Kate family? He’s not very big, and he’s also a gentleman.”

Quentina Kee turned her head and sighed softly: “He’s too weak. The last time he was scared by a hound in the garden, his legs were shaking. I don’t like him.”

Hearing the little princess being so picky, Julie was about to cry: “But princess, how can there be a perfect person in this world? If you don’t get in touch with people and get to know them well, you won’t be able to see the advantages of others.”

A smile flashed across Quentina Ji’s emerald pupils: “I can see the good in others.”

“I think the alha I met in the Free Federation last year was just fine, she’s beautiful, brave and funny!”
