There is always a crossing that suits you

State Ballroom...

The band played cheerful and melodious music, luxuriously dressed men and women chatted with people around with glasses of wine, and waiters shuttled among them to offer champagne and snacks to the guests.

Celebrities from the entire state and many Genovian aristocrats stationed in the United States gathered in the hall. Whether they knew each other or not, Prince Miller was their common topic.

"Oh, have you read the newspaper? He is so handsome." A lady whispered to her companion.

"Yes, it couldn't be more cute." The female companion said, "I heard that he can speak multiple languages ​​and musical instruments, so charming."

"Indeed." Their conversation attracted a woman next to her, who was a young woman who had not been married for long. "That young man is in fantastic shape."

"And he obviously looks like a young noble son, who would have thought that his style would be so manly."

"He should be the next king for sure."

"Isn't it obvious? It's just that my mother hasn't been granted a title, so she can't be more serious..."

"Shhh, stop talking, time is up."

The music gradually fades away...

"He's coming."

"Stop talking."

The cheerful music gradually rises...

The heavy oak door slowly opened...

On the winding light brown wooden staircase...

A young man stands tall.

Qiao Mu put his left hand lightly on the handrail of the stairs and stepped down.

He is wearing a dark gray Victorian three-piece suit today, which not only shows the luxury and nobility that is consistent with his noble status, but also does not lose the unique youth of young people.Obviously he was just a slightly flimsy noble boy, but Qiao Mu's aura of experience in the world forcibly overwhelmed his pomp, and his standing posture with a clear military look added a murderous air to him.When he gradually stepped out of the shadows and was completely exposed to the light, he became soft and amiable again, making one wonder that the sense of oppression just now was an illusion.

"You are here." Joe Foss saluted respectfully. "Allow me to introduce you - our Prime Minister - Thurbosteen."

"Hello." Qiao Mu stretched out his hand to the tall and strong man who bowed in salute.

"And his wife—Cheria." This seemed to be a very gentle lady.

"Hello." Qiao Mu shook hands. (As the heir to the throne, he does not have to kiss the hand of a lady who is inferior to him)

"And their lovely daughter - Marisa." A slightly fat loli.

"Nice to meet you."

"I'm not allowed to attend the dinner." The little girl seemed a little unhappy, her cheeks twitching.

"Then you can pack some delicious food and go home." Qiao Mu always didn't mind teasing the lovely child.

"Ha ha……"

There was a burst of good-natured teasing from everyone.

"The dinner party has begun!!!" A long voice came.

"Oh, here we go. Let's go."

"of course."

Qiao Mu was seated next to the prime minister and his wife, and he was very happy. The prime minister and his wife seemed friendly.

"Queen, Cararis—"

The harp played melodious music, everyone stood up and saluted, and the queen, dressed in a bright white dress and wearing a crown, entered the venue accompanied by waiters.

After exchanging glances with her grandson, the queen strolled towards the main seat.The queen smiled silently, raised her hands, and made a gesture of asking for permission, after which everyone took their seats.

After the queen sat down, the envoys in white began to serve the dishes.

The guests chatted politely and softly, and the atmosphere at the table was relaxed and harmonious.

To be honest, this made Qiao Mu feel a lot easier. It was his first time participating in such a high-end banquet and he was inevitably nervous.Although he is someone who has experienced big winds and waves, it can be said that this kind of high-end work for the first time is really not as simple as fighting on the battlefield.Now everyone's atmosphere is so harmonious, and Qiao Mu has a lot of inner feelings.Although the Japanese ambassador sitting next to the queen made him feel a little uncomfortable...

"Your Excellency, what do you think of the pear market in Genovia?"

"The pear market in Genovia is booming, if you don't mind the pun..."

"I heard……"

Qiao Mu suddenly found that everyone around him had something to say but he was the only one who ignored it...

What is this scenario? ? ?

Although it's fun to listen to people chatting while eating dinner, but it's really embarrassing that everyone is talking and only you are entertaining yourself.Qiao Mu decided to resolutely join the topic.

"Ms. Shelia, can you introduce other people to me?" Although he actually knew all these people, he decided to find something to talk about.

"Of course. This is..."

"Marisa is such a sweet little girl, don't know where to go to school?"

"Thank you, she's..."

After a series of chatter, Qiao Mu finally let himself look less idle.

There are many dishes for dinner, but the portion is very small. As a foodie Qiao Mu, he is not full at all.But seeing that the last fruits after dinner - pears, raisins and cheese had arrived, he silently decided to wait until he got home and cook noodles.

----

Except that he was not full, Qiao Mu was very satisfied with the dinner this time. Of course, the Prime Minister wished that the Duke and Duchess of Wendalken would always be dukes or something, so he should automatically ignore it.Her Lady Queen also expressed her satisfaction with her grandson's first appearance, and the proof is that after the dinner party, she personally ordered the kitchen to fire up and cook for someone to feed.

"Has my father always regarded the responsibility of being a prince as his goal in life?" Qiao Mu cut open the fried egg, and the liquid egg yolk overflowed with golden color.

"Yes." The queen took a sip of tea, "but there was one exception. That was about 15 years ago."

"???" Bite an egg~~~

"That time he seriously considered his title because he met a lovely artist who taught him something about a better life, like what his life could be, what he could be .”

"And then?" Turning to attack Bacon.

"Then he made a decision and no one pushed him. It wasn't me, although many thought I forced it. Philip knew my eldest son his eldest brother Peel wanted to abdicate and Peel eventually abdicated and he joined the church. Yours From this, my father realized that there is only one person or two at most who loves him.” The queen looked deeply at Qiao Mu, “This made him unable to forget the love he got from his country and people. He did everything in his life. Hardest decision."

"In the end he chose his country and people." Qiao Mu took a sip of milk, "Give up on me and my mother...and now I have made the same decision as him."

"Your father didn't give up on you and your mother, he has been silently paying attention to you. You didn't give up on your mother, as long as you always love her."

"Well, he didn't." Qiao Mu shrugged, "Otherwise he wouldn't be the only child of mine, and that electric skateboard is also cool, it's a good birthday present. Mom found a new boyfriend, although my future stepfather doesn't mind I'm such a sucker, but I decided not to disturb their artistic two-person world."

"My mother told me that the first thing that attracted her to my father was the clean and fresh air. You know, in a place like the high street, men without tattoos and hair dyes are as rare as diamonds."

"My mother is always full of energy, dreaming of a dazzling life and a boyfriend like a prince. But when she really finds out that her husband is a prince, she avoids it like everyone who yearns for freedom."

"The royal family is a sacrifice to the state, she always said that."

After eating the last bite of toast, Qiao Mu wiped his mouth.

"I'm full, bye."

"...See you tomorrow." The queen wanted to correct her grandson's negative notion, but it was obvious that her little grandson didn't want to talk to her anymore.So he could only order Joe Fuss to send Miller back.

After giving his grandmother a hug, Qiao Mu couldn't wait to leave this magnificent building. He missed his mother very much.

——————I am the dividing line back home—————

"Mom, what are you doing?" When Qiao Mu went downstairs, he found his mother wearing a transparent plastic raincoat throwing small balloons filled with colored paints on a white board.

"Creation, of course!" Mother Helen signaled her son to put on another raincoat, "Come and try this."

Qiao Mu, who was obediently dressed, was a little at a loss when he picked up the darts.

"Hey, why don't you move?" Helen's mother was a little surprised, "It's just like we used to play when you were a child!"

I understand in seconds...

Qiao Mu closed his eyes and threw a dart decisively.

"Ha, I missed!" Laughed~

"Of course it's impossible to hit every time." Unhappily pouted~

"Look at me again!" Qiao Mu said as he attacked again.

"Out!" A certain mother threw + laughed again.

arbor:……

"I throw! I throw!!! I throw throw throw!!!"

"Crack!" Σ(дlll) sounded like something exploded.

"Hit!!!"`(*>﹏<*)′

"I'll just say I can do it!" A hug must be sent.

Qiao Mu made a sullen face, "The style of labor and management has not diminished in the past~~~"

"Are you going to the beach today?"

"Hmm, we will have a new song to present." Qiao Mu hit a ball again, and the dark green paint exploded in a loose shape. "I want to wear my floral shirt."

"The one you bought in Hawaii last time?"

"Yes, and that big pair of trousers."

"Well, it's a good match. Is it the floral one or the solid color one?"

"Of course it's flowers, it looks cool that way." Qiao Mu's aesthetics is dead, and he burns paper for something.

"Indeed." As an artist advocating post-modern and abstract art, you can't expect Mama Heron to have much of a normal person's aesthetics. "Put on enough sunscreen."

"That pussy jerk thing... ok, ok, I will!"

"Snapped"!A blue ball bursts.

————————I am the dividing line to reach the beach————————

"Run! Faster, faster...be careful!"

"Fly!"

"Let go, don't you let go and fly a wool!"

Qiao Mu was about to be made to cry by this bunch of funny people. To fly a kite well, she only knows how to run but not how to string it. Don’t they know that a kite can’t fly without stringing? !Just running has a fart!

"Miller, what are you going to do this summer?" Mark said, handing over a drink.

Only then did Qiao Mu realize that the summer vacation would be one week away, and so many things had happened recently that he didn't care about the date at all.

"I should continue the 'Prince Course'. I probably won't come to school next semester. I'm going back to Genovia."

"Huh? Then you won't go back to the United States?"

"Of course not, I will come to the United States to go to university." Qiao Mu also wanted to fool around with Harvard to find more material and tell her sister, "I will come back when I have time during the holidays."

"Ha! Enjoy your last civilian life!" Mark picked up the microphone next to him, "Want to host with me?"

"No, I have a show with Michael and the others later, you need to give more shots!"

"It must be a new song, right? I can't wait." Mark knew how popular Qiao Mu's band was, so he was very proud of it.

"Bray is here, I won't talk to you anymore." Qiao Mu pulled on the straw hat and was about to leave.

"Okay, bye. By the way, Miller, you look great today!"

"Thank you, this is one of my favorite floral shirts." Qiao Mu suddenly felt that the fat man was very discerning.

"Miller, let's take the speedboat, do you want to go together?"

"Of course." Qiao Mu quickly followed up with the person, "Jose, why are you dressed so freshly?"

"Σ(д;)? It's obviously a normal attire." Joss looked at his sportswear and shorts, "It's because you're wearing something weird, it's the first time I know you're so coquettish." .”

"Where's the sullenness? Be careful, wait for me to take the helm." Qiao Mu said that he did not retaliate.

"Don't, you can't be more powerful and domineering."

"late!"

Next, Joss fully realized what is meant by "self-inflicted crimes, you can't live".

"Slow... slow down... dizziness... ah!!!" Joss finally couldn't help shouting after the tree made a 180° turn. "I've played speedboats for so many years and I've never seen anything so scary! This is really a boat, not a fighter jet!!"

"Haha~~~" Qiao Mu felt very comfortable.

Brother finally no longer seasick!

Brother said long ago that seasickness in his previous life was definitely due to a physical problem! !

How can a small speedboat stop my brother's road to conquest! ! !

Brother's goal is the sea of ​​stars! ! ! !

"I want to go back! Don't~~~~"

Children light [candles] for you

So Tsundere with fried hair is always a high-risk species...

"Wow wow, next is the long-awaited ShowTime, please 'Fast Band'!"

"His Royal Highness Prince!"

"Master Miller!"

"Michael sweetheart!"

"Ahhh, so excited~~~"

Ignoring the cheers from all fans, Qiao Mu looked at his teammates.

"Come on, it's our time."

"OK!"

First, there is a passionate percussion music, and the crisp drumbeat seems to beat the hearts of the audience.Then the electric guitar joined in high-pitched, magical electronic sounds and drums played a passionate movement.After a short piece of pure music, there is a slightly gentle electronic organ and the young man's low and clear voice.Michael's voice has always been good, not the deep magnetism of a man, but the clarity that belongs to a teenager alone. Coupled with his own low voice, it is amazing to sing.Qiao Mu is not good at singing, but he is a good drummer. Wooden drumsticks, calfskin drumheads, and powerful impacts form a melodious and coherent sound with a clear rhythm, which is the charm of percussion.

Sunshine, beach, music and beautiful boys, everyone will be fascinated by it.What's more, the music played by these three beautiful boys is so moving, everyone can't help but dance to the youthful music, even those who are not good at dancing can't help but beat the time and twist their waists to respond.

It doesn't get any better than this.

"He's excellent, isn't he?"

A player over [-] inches was placed in front of the Queen and her knights, through the screen one could clearly see the boy in a flowered shirt beating the drum kit wantonly.There was a happy smile on the boy's young face, his sweaty forehead and curled hair showed his excitement, and his brown eyes were as bright as a morning star.

"He's always been so good, he's not as mature as a 15-year-old." The Queen took a sip of tea, "Now he looks like a child."

"Indeed, Your Highness should spend more time with people of the same age."

"However, because of his excellence, I can safely hand over the country to him. He will be a wise ruler. As for his peers...the Royal Naval War Academy will provide him with a lot."

"His Royal Highness's enrollment procedures have been completed, and he can enter the school smoothly after returning to Genovia. However, according to His Highness's personal opinion, he seems to prefer the Air Force."

"But the Secretary's Office's assessment shows that it would be better for him to go to the Navy. In the Naval Academy, he can get in touch with more nobles and future powerful people." When talking about political issues, the Queen of Genovia regained her majesty, she No longer the grandmother who loves her grandson, but a ruler who carefully cultivates an heir. "Growing up in the United States, he has almost zero understanding of Genovia's nobles, let alone contacts and resources. Bloodline alone is not enough to get Genovia's recognition. He needs confidantes and more weight." partner."

"I'll put the country in his hands, and he'll have to prove he can keep her."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The boy playing drums on the screen had finished his performance and was bowing down with his teammates to give thanks.

"How's the result of his medical examination?" The queen was back in good granny mode.

"Very healthy, we will conduct a more comprehensive examination for him after we arrive in Genovia." Joe Falcon paused as if he had heard something,

"Your Majesty, Chaldor is here."

"Let her in." The queen put down the teacup and adjusted her sitting posture.

Joe Foss said something to the collar, and within a minute, Chardo appeared behind the queen.

"Your Majesty, these are all candidates for the prince's knight preparations. Whether it is family, political position, knowledge or temperament, they have been strictly screened. The secretary's office just completed the last review 10 minutes ago." The blond strong woman held the document bag in her hands "It contains their details."

"It's well done." The queen took the bulging document bag, and she could tell with just her eyes that there must be a lot of stuff inside.

Chardo knew that the queen had put in a lot of effort to select the right knights. These people would be selected and interviewed again by the queen after being screened by the secretariat. The cruel competition would continue until the best among them , Two people were born and sent to His Highness.That lucky one will be His Highness's future confidant, accompany His Highness, and manage His Highness's various matters, whether public or private, and he will become the sharpest sword and the most solid shield in His Highness's hands.Just as she and Joforth guarded the queen forever.
