The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Chapter 113 Catherine shared half of her secret guard's authority with her brother.

Catherine smiled and pulled her brother into the car, then turned her head and looked indifferently at Karolide, who was focused on driving. After a brief pause, Catherine whispered to her brother beside her, "Brother, the man driving right now is my capable assistant and captain of my secret guard—Major Karolide. He's been by my side for over ten years! For the past ten years, through thick and thin, through all sorts of hardships, he's always been there for me, protecting me. So, if you ever encounter any trouble or need help, you can contact him without worry. When we get there and park, could you please ask Major Karolide to add you to his contacts? I'll have him add you later. That way, whenever you need help, you can find someone reliable to assist you immediately." After saying this, a warm and friendly smile returned to Catherine's face.

After introducing her brother, Catherine quickly turned to Karolide. Her expression was calmer and more composed than before as she spoke slowly, “Karolide, this is my brother, Prince Hilbert, who has just returned to the Nore Lancaster royal family. The Queen has not yet chosen a suitable assistant captain for the Prince's secret guard, so I will need you to keep a close eye on Prince Hilbert's safety during this time. If I am unable to be by his side constantly in China, and you are not available to assist me, then you will directly follow Prince Hilbert's orders. Is that clear?”

Upon hearing what her princess Catherine had said, Karolide felt a surge of surprise. She subconsciously glanced at Prince Hilbert out of the corner of her eye; he was tall and handsome, with an innate air of nobility about him.

Prince Hilbert, whom the princess had just painstakingly found, did indeed bear a striking resemblance to her. However, at that moment, Karolide felt a surge of surprise and confusion regarding the orders given by his princess.

According to the established system passed down through generations, every princess or prince who is a member of the royal family is assigned a personal bodyguard. The captain of this bodyguard sometimes appears openly in public as an assistant, responsible for protecting the princess or prince's personal safety; as for the other members, unless there is an extremely necessary situation, they usually remain hidden in the shadows, silently fulfilling their important mission of protecting the prince or prince.

This personal bodyguard unit, once dispatched by Her Majesty the Queen to a particular prince or princess, will be entirely loyal to that prince or princess and obey their commands without question. At the same time, these bodyguards will formally leave Her Majesty's personal guard and become a private protection force entirely subordinate to that specific princess or prince.

At this moment, Karolide understood the princess's intentions. It turned out that after the prince gained control of his own secret guard, Karolide would be obligated to obey his commands if he needed anything, even when the princess was not present. This decision meant that she was dividing her command and control over the guards in half, handing it over to Prince Hilbert.

Clearly, Prince Hilbert held a very important place in the princess's heart. Karolide's thoughts were surging like a tidal wave, but she controlled her expression perfectly, not letting any of these complex emotions show.

While calming her emotions, Karolide drove the vehicle steadily, maintaining a perfectly measured smile on her face, and speaking with utmost respect: "Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured, I know how to proceed."

Karolide nodded slightly, respectfully answering the princess's question. He then slowly straightened up, his gaze fixed ahead, yet his deep eyes brimming with profound respect for the princess. His steady, magnetic voice seemed to penetrate the heart, carrying a subtle, almost imperceptible tone. He then turned his head slightly, glancing through the rearview mirror at Prince Hilbert, who sat comfortably beside Princess Catherine.

"Your Highness Prince Hilbert, greetings!" Karolide's voice was clear and resonant, like a spring breeze rippling across a lake. "I am Karolide, the capable assistant to your sister, Princess Catherine, and also the captain of the secret guard responsible for her safety. It is a great honor to meet you here. If there is anything Your Highness may require of me in the future, please do not hesitate to give the order, and I will do my utmost, even at the cost of my life!"

At this moment, Prince Hilbert, sitting beside his sister, sensed the warmth and sincerity in Karolide's words. Although he knew in his heart that this was perhaps more at his sister's behest, the genuine attitude displayed by the captain of the secret guard still made him feel favorably disposed towards her. Therefore, Prince Hilbert smiled slightly, revealing a friendly expression, and replied, "Captain Karolide, you flatter me. I believe that we will get along well and assist each other in the future. If there is any need, I will certainly not hesitate to ask."

Hilbert smiled and spoke politely and elegantly: "Hello! I am Hilbert, the brother of your beautiful, noble and elegant Princess Catherine. It is a pleasure to meet you today."

After the two finished introducing themselves, Catherine gently put down her phone, letting out a sigh of relief. Just as they were introducing themselves, the clever and quick-witted Catherine had already subtly sent Karolide's contact information to her brother Hilbert's phone.

After that, the brother and sister never spoke a word to Karolide again. Meanwhile, Karolide, seeing that the princess was ignoring him, secretly rejoiced. The princess's life had been quite eventful lately, full of unexpected events. He was genuinely worried that she might suddenly issue an order, putting him back in trouble, or even locking him in solitary confinement. So, Karolide drove on, his mood cheerful.

Karolide couldn't understand it. The image of Princess Catherine seemed so vivid in his mind, unlike how she was like a flower blooming in spring, lively and bright. A sense of nostalgia welled up in his heart as he recalled the princess's former demeanor.

However, it must be said that Princess Catherine's recent actions have been increasingly shocking. This has left Karolide, one of the princess's few confidants, constantly on edge. Worse still, he has learned a shocking secret about the princess! Whenever he thinks about it, Karolide feels as if his head might fall off at any moment; this unease is a constant companion.

At this moment, Catherine and Hilbert sat silently in the car. Perhaps due to a sleepless night and being caught in the rain, both their faces betrayed their weariness. They remained silent, neither initiating a conversation, simply sitting there quietly. They seemed to be conserving their energy, but strangely, despite this, they didn't close their eyes to rest.

Time flies by like a fleeting moment, and in those brief ten minutes, the cable car slowly came to a stop.

The brother and sister got out of the car carefully first, and then the sister followed closely behind him, standing steadily on the open space.

Karolide then led the brother and sister off the cable car, skillfully drove the vehicle to the designated location not far away, and parked it safely.

At that moment, the brother and sister looked up, their gazes falling simultaneously on the building before them. They were surprised to find that the architectural style here was almost identical to that of the main hall, both featuring a rustic, antique-style gate. However, upon closer inspection, it was easy to spot three large, powerful, golden characters inscribed on the wall of the tall building on the right: "Chang'an Hall."
