void engagement [interstellar]

When Edie's exclusive communicator sounded, Marshal Grant had just finished a short combat meeting and was getting up to leave the conference room.

Seeing the Marshal stop his movements and call out "baby" tenderly and lovingly, the witty secretary immediately thoughtfully told the others to end the meeting, closed the door for the Marshal, and quickly retreated himself.

"Father, I think His Highness the Crown Prince's behavior is very strange... Is there any turmoil in the military situation recently?" Edie's serious question was clearly conveyed through the communicator.

"What's so strange?" The marshal sat back in the middle of the large chair, with one arm casually resting on the armrest, his usually serious and stern face had a relaxed expression, and he looked mature and unrestrained.

"I feel...he seems to be flattering me, and even came to pick me up to the palace himself." Edie looked at the video image of his father, with a trace of confusion in his voice, "If it wasn't for something that happened, he wanted to get my father's Support, what else can it be?"

The marshal frowned slightly, subconsciously bent his slender fingers and tapped on the armrest of the chair, and began to think and analyze the possibility of what the baby said.

The last time Edie was invited to live in the palace after receiving obvious flattery from the royal family, Marshal Grant was still an admiral.At that time, a large-scale riot broke out in a notorious area on the edge of the empire, and strong force was urgently needed to suppress it. Admiral Grant was ordered to lead his troops to quell the chaos.

Josiah, who was a little older, was placed at his uncle's house, and Edie, who was just over two years old, was received by the emperor as a guest in the palace.

However, because of the mistake of the servant who took care of him that time, the frail baby fell seriously ill halfway through.When Admiral Grant returned victorious, it turned out that the juicy child had been raised to a sallow, emaciated, emaciated figure, and was even more pitiful than the refugees fleeing on the battlefield.

The marshal felt very distressed, and later, he would rather take him to the battlefield by his side than send him to live in the palace.

However, the marshal asked later that the baby no longer remembered this experience.

So "what happened to get Dad's support" is probably just Edie's own guesswork, not experience.But in the eyes of the marshal, this kind of speculation is not without reason.

He will never be like some parents who despise or even ignore their children's opinions because they are young.

When Edie was two or three years old, he would seriously express his wishes and discuss things with him, such as "Dad, can I not eat this grass, I will eat a piece of meat and drink a bottle of nutrient solution", such as "I will be good Take a nap for two hours, and then ask my brother to take me out to play for half an hour, okay?"

Just as he was thinking, the marshal's communicator issued another reminder.

It was Josiah, the eldest son.The marshal simply took him in and formed a three-person discussion group.

"Father." Josiah called the marshal, his eyes fell on Edie, a little smile appeared on his cold and indifferent face, "the baby is here too."

"Brother~!" A big smile broke out on Edie's face, "I'm asking my father about something. Does my brother have something to ask? Otherwise, my brother can talk first, I'm not in a hurry."

"Huh? My brother is not in a hurry. What is the baby asking, can you tell my brother?" Josiah asked.

"It's ok. I just haven't finished yet." Edie repeated the question she asked her father just now to her brother, and then talked about the obvious strange behavior and attitude changes of His Royal Highness recently.

Josiah listened silently, and asked after a while, "What does father think?"

"Recently the situation is indeed a little unstable. But... it should not be enough to make His Royal Highness change his attitude." The marshal struggled a little in his heart, thought for a while, and still told the truth, "What is his purpose? Dad is still not sure about it." Can not be sure."

"Huh?" Edie tilted her head, a little dazed, and joked, "Could it be that he suddenly found me cute?"

"Baby, listen to what my brother said." Josiah said suddenly, with a serious face, "There is love at first sight, and there is love for a long time. The baby is indeed cute, but like His Royal Highness, the attitude The sudden change is really not quite right. The so-called being courteous for nothing means rape or stealing. You must be careful, baby, and don’t be fooled by his superficial sweet words. The truth of what he says to you must also be Make a half discount and then consider it. Maybe there is some big conspiracy hidden in it."

"Ah...could it be a big conspiracy?" Edie trusted Jose Yatai, and did not doubt his intentions at all. Instead, she kept thinking along this line of thought. The more she thought about it, the more reasonable she felt, and the more she thought about her mission. Major, almost like a professional spy, "I know. Brother, I will be very vigilant and careful, and then try to expose his true colors."

After Edie quit the communication between the three, the marshal leaned back in his chair, turned his gaze to Josiah, and asked, "Josiah, have you changed your mind?"

Josiah said calmly: "Yes, father, I have changed my mind."

"Dad has always supported you."

Josiah murmured "Thank you."

The next day, Edie was sent to live in the palace by his father and brother as agreed.

Ever since he heard his brother's conspiracy theory the day before, he felt deeply that going to the palace as a guest had become an unusual undercover job, and his whole body was filled with a wonderful sense of responsibility and mission.

The imperial emperor Ye Ying took the prince and princesses to welcome the father and son in person.

After that, the marshal stayed in the main hall to talk with the empress, and His Royal Highness took Yidi to visit the palace where he was about to stay.

Josiah, who was worried about his younger brother, and His Highness the Second Prince, who joined in the fun, also followed.

His Majesty the emperor arranged a nice place for Edie, located in the Pixiang Hall, which was specially designed to receive distinguished guests.

This is an antique building, with carved beams and painted buildings, resplendent and resplendent from the outside, but the interior configuration is very modern.

Josiah walked into the room where his younger brother was going to live, and checked up and down several times inside and out, as if he wanted to make up for the regret of not being able to send his brother to the new school last time.

Edie is actually not that picky about the environment.

He looked at Josiah who was still patting the mattress to test its softness and even wanted to take a look at it, pulled his brother's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Okay brother, I'm not the princess and the pea. You sit down La."

Josiah turned around and sat down on the chair.

Ye Guanlan joked with him, saying, "Princess Pea is not as delicate as your brother."

After being glared at by Josiah, he obediently shut up.

Josiah told Edie again, saying that if he was wronged, he must tell his brother and father, and go home if he was unhappy.

It was rare that he took the initiative to say a word to Ye Guanlan, telling him not to bully his younger brother.

Ye Guanlan was about to be laughed at by him, and said helplessly and sadly: "Josiah, can you not be so stingy? I have fought with him once since I was a child, and I have been hated by you until now. You yourself Are you fair?"

Josiah glanced at him, but didn't speak. He naturally felt that it was fair, and anyone who bullied the baby should be beaten.

Ye Xuanhe was pushed aside abruptly by her younger brother and Josiah, feeling very delicate.

It wasn't the first time he'd noticed that Josiah was paying too much attention to Edie.

Sitting next to Edie at the last family dinner, he felt that the way the brothers got along, or the older brother's attitude towards the younger brother, was a little strange.

But at that time, he still felt that it had nothing to do with him.Looking at it now, this sense of disobedience is particularly clear.

He even faintly felt that Josiah was deliberately releasing his Alpha pheromone.

He was fine, the weaker silly Baitian second brother obviously felt intimidated, and took a step back without knowing why.

Ye Xuanhe walked over, stood next to Edie, and gently interrupted Josiah's next words with the attitude towards his elder brother: "I will take good care of Edie, don't worry."

Edie is a typical double-standard dog, that is to say, only I can criticize my brother if he is annoying, and no one else can.

Seeing that His Royal Highness was impatient with his brother, he immediately became unhappy and said, "I'm talking to my brother, don't make trouble."

Josiah glanced at His Royal Highness, and smiled helplessly and indulgently.

In Ye Xuanhe's eyes, it was the naked showing off and provocation of the winner.

His Royal Highness was so angry.

When the marshal and Josiah left, Josiah pulled his brother aside and confirmed again in a low voice: "Do you remember what my brother told you yesterday?"

"Remember. Don't be fooled by his sweet words. Listening to his words is half the truth, right." Edie clenched her fists and said confidently, "I will definitely see through his disguise, brother .”

In an instant, I felt that my image was incomparably taller.
