Counterattack [Interstellar]

In the early hours of the morning, everyone was invited to Auston's study.

"Sit first."

Auston was unexpectedly calm. Although there was inevitably the smell of tranquilizers in the air, his demeanor did not appear to be manic. Mrs. Jenny calmed down a little, sat down and frowned. Asked: "What did Bettina say? Where did Anthony go?"

Auston was silent for a while and said: "Anthony hasn't been contacted yet, but from the signal Bettina captured to contact them just now, it can be seen that they have not left the range of the empire's star field."

Prince Adair breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "That's good." The crown prince who fled from the Norman Empire, attached to any political power is a great shame to the empire. Anthony offered political asylum and privately used him as a political bargaining chip to blackmail the empire...it's unimaginable.

"The most urgent thing is to call Anthony back as soon as possible." Madam Jenny's eyes were full of disgust, she whispered, "I hope that this incident can make your Majesty understand the true nature of this mother and child..."

Auston raised his eyes, narrowed his eyes and warned, "Jenny."

"Did I say something wrong?" Mrs. Jenny looked at Auston coldly, "You should have had enough of raising this white-eyed wolf, right? Everyone knows how you feel about Anthony, let's put aside Antonyen and repay his revenge regardless of his family." Let’s not talk about this, let’s just talk about their response to this matter... Your Majesty, a mature and psychologically strong prince, will give up on himself because of a momentary slump, and try to turn himself over by suicide attack?"

"You just left them out in the cold for a few months, and there are so many things going on back and forth, haha..." Mrs. Jenny glanced at Allen, implying, "If everyone is like him, then I I'm really worried for your life."

"Maybe you still think I'm speaking for Allen, whatever..." Mrs. Jenny leaned her head on the sofa and said wearily, "As a royal family, I can't just watch you hand over the empire to such an unbearable A bit of a blow, a curvy person, I don't mean to discriminate against him, but... Anthony is an illegitimate child. The education he received since childhood and the environment in which he grew up have already determined what kind of person he will become. The prince was brought up, and he doesn't have the mind and the city that a superior person should have. I don't want to say it so bluntly, but his situations all prove this point... An illegitimate child raised by a mistress is always better than a illegitimate child. If he is not an orthodox prince, he simply does not have the dignity of the royal family."

Prince Adair looked helplessly at Mrs. Jenny, turned his head and apologized to Auston: "Let's not talk about this, the matter of His Royal Highness's escape from the residence probably cannot be hidden, we'd better think about how to communicate with the public tomorrow morning." Announce it."

Orston didn't answer the call, which was also the most troublesome thing for him now.

"Last night, a group of rogues appeared near His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's garrison star field. According to the monitoring and analysis of their starships by the distant star radar, it was found that they may be all fugitive imperial criminals. His Royal Highness decided to send troops to hunt them down immediately." Allen, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and said expressionlessly, "But it's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a mistake in making a decision and did not arrest the criminal. Instead, he lost contact with the station and the main star due to the photon explosion of a star near the station."

Everyone looked at Alan, and Prince Adair's eyes flashed with surprise, and he nodded repeatedly: "That's good!" Alan continued: "Just now, the photon burst gradually ended, and all the signals slowly returned to normal , we finally got in touch with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had been missing for a day and a night."

Mrs. Jenny froze for a moment, frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Why?! He obviously defected! Why do you want to excuse him..."

"Jenny!" Prince Adair interrupted Madam Jenny's words in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to be angry."

Mrs. Jenny was still aggrieved, while Auston looked at Alan with complicated eyes, wondering in his heart... Could it be that Alan didn't do this thing?

Although there is not enough evidence, it was Allen who told him that Anthony was about to usurp the throne before, and then Allen suggested that he test Bettina, and then this series of things happened, vaguely related to Allen.

Alston was almost sure that Allen was behind the scenes again this time, but now looking at Allen, he was a little uncertain. Allen's words for Anthony were not perfect, but in a hurry, this This is the best remedy. If Anthony is really hurt, how should Allen's current behavior be explained?

Auston looked at Alan without speaking for a long time, and Alan seemed to see through Auston's doubts, and smiled mockingly: "Don't think about it again and again, I didn't want to make any stumbling blocks here."

"Let's not talk about the personal grievances between me and Anthony. This matter is related to the entire royal family. I won't make fun of it." Allen sneered, "I really don't want Anthony to feel better, but it doesn't mean that If I want to fill it in myself, he can die, please don't implicate me."

"Ha..." Mrs. Jenny shook her head and sighed with a smile, "You have all seen that Alan's behavior has confirmed what I just said. Only at this time can the quality of an illegitimate child and a prince be distinguished."

Allen spoke rudely, but Orston was not as angry as usual. Orston was silent for a long time, and whispered: "Go back to your room to rest. I will send someone to notify you when I contact Anthony."

Allen turned his head to Pei Yao and said, "Let's go."

Pei Yao gave a military salute to Auston, and followed Allen out of the study.

"Adair." Auston stopped Prince Adair and said calmly, "You stay here."

Adair was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"You have been in the palace all the time, so you should have seen it all." Alston got himself a glass of spirits and drank it down. "I believe you will look at this matter more objectively than Jenny. Tell me, what happened this time is the same. Does it matter to Allen?"

After a little thought, Adair cautiously said: "It's probably impossible to say that it has nothing to do with it at all...After all, even Jenny has something to do with it—she frequently made Bettina uneasy, and...with all due respect, according to I understand that you were a little harsh on Bettina before."

"You don't know!" Speaking of Bettina, Auston was irritated. "Not every woman is like Jenny. Although she has a bad temper, at least she is not so sensitive and hypocritical! Especially recently, she I was startled and felt that everyone was against her, who had the time to pay attention to her! Give her a little bit of a good temper and she asked me to forgive her father and brother, she simply..."

Adair sighed in her heart, this is simply a chicken-and-egg problem. Bettina's relatives have fallen one after another, and she is not stable in her heart, so she always wants to find comfort from Auston, but the more she clings to Auston Auston The more Dun felt that she was greedy and treated her coldly, the more uneasy she felt. She continued to test and repeated, and it was impossible for Auston not to be bothered.

Adair avoided this topic, and said again: "But judging from what Allen said just now...he really wanted to solve this crisis for you. I have to say that Allen's rhetoric was really ingenious, reasonable, and safe. Of course, if you are really worried and there is a better way, you don’t have to adopt his.”

Auston sneered: "Just now Mabel and the others thought of announcing the news of Anthony's lung disease before the scandal appeared, so that the public would think that he evacuated the station after getting my approval. I think it's good, now look at..."

Adair smiled wryly: "That's very incomplete."

Auston took a deep breath and said, "When you get in touch with that beast, post the news as Allen said."

Adairton probed and said, "Then...do we still have to follow the previous plan? Keep the title of crown prince?"

"Reserve?" Auston sneered in his throat, "Reserve it for him so that he can continue to wear the crown prince's hat to die?! This is the last time I will deal with his aftermath!"

The stone in Adair's heart fell to the ground, and he asked again: "Then... Allen..."

Mrs. Jenny's remarks about the illegitimate child and the orthodox prince echoed in Oston's ears again. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said harshly: "Reestablish Allen as the crown prince!"
