hunting stars

On the second day, the official media used the headlines "Victory of the common people" and "Royal family expresses determination to innovate"; the gossip tabloids were full of "short hair, tall, dark -- the crown prince's favorite", "famous mature woman The host falls under the charm of the crown prince" sensational content.

At this time, Levi was waiting for Roger Hill to deal with official business, silently browsing the news in the lounge beside him.

Lieutenant Xue Nuo, who was waiting with him, was complaining, "Second Lieutenant Levi, what do you think His Highness is thinking recently? The public selection contest for the crown princess... His Highness really wants to choose himself through this method." The other half? What’s even more outrageous is that His Majesty and the Grand Duke also agreed! I can’t even imagine it!”

"Your Highness should have his own considerations." Levi said in a low voice.

"Is it really for the sake of giving everyone an equal opportunity?" Xue Nuo shook his head incomprehensibly, and asked casually, "Lieutenant, what do you think?"

"...Of course I fully support His Highness's decision."

You are a ghost with your full support! ── Officer Xue Nuo shouted loudly in his heart──Look at your pale face, almost as pale as a dead man!

If it weren't for sympathy, the lieutenant, who has always been wise and safe, would never have talked about this topic.As a bystander of all the affairs between the prince and Levi, he really didn't want to believe that the previous behavior of the crown prince just represented his whim toying with this junior officer.

In order to save the image of the prince in his mind, Xue Nuo pretended to gossip and hoped to get a little bit of Levi's tone, but the results so far made him very disappointed: it seems that Second Lieutenant Levi was really excluded from the outside of this event.

Sighing secretly for a moment, Xue Nuo finally decided not to ask further questions.After the prince's rest period came, he picked up the prepared black tea and sent it to the crown prince's office.

Roger Hill was signing some documents. When he saw Snow coming in, he put down his pen and asked, "Where is Lieutenant Levi?"

"He and his subordinates have been waiting by the side."

"Go and call him in."

"Yes."

Xue Nuo took a careful look at the crown prince. After accurately judging the mood of his boss, he immediately stepped back and withdrew all the waiting staff around him, and only asked Li Wei to go to the crown prince alone.

In the exclusive office, Roger Hill was sipping black tea alone. These days, he has been thinking about how to explain the cause and effect of the whole thing to Levi, but the final result of repeated thinking is that he will not do too much to him for the time being. instruction of.

Superb ability, capable handling style, low self-esteem personality, lack of confidence in secret love, and occasional radical bravery...all of these constitute the guard officer known to the crown prince.The best proof of this point is: after the two were so sweet not long ago, they suddenly heard the news that the prince had publicly selected a concubine. Nor did he express any dissatisfaction or anger to Roger Hill.If it weren't for the secret he discovered before, the prince would have thought that the second lieutenant really only had physical needs for him.

If you tell him everything, for Levi, you will only feel the guilt of bothering others and the sadness of not being able to get true love.

So how do you convince the no-nonsense officer to join this seemingly ludicrous melee?

The prince, who is confident that he can solve all problems, can't help but have a headache.

But things have reached the point where there is no room for delay, and the deadline for registration is approaching. If Levi cannot participate, all the hard work of himself, his father, and the Grand Duke will be in vain.

"Your Highness."

When Roger Hill came back to his senses, he found that the second lieutenant was already standing in front of him.His complexion was very bad. In just a few days, this young soldier was like a plant that had been deprived of nutrients, withering at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.And knowing why all this happened, I couldn't say any words of comfort.

The prince could only speak in the softest tone, unable to express more concern, "Second Lieutenant, sit down first."

After hesitating for a moment, Levi complied and sat on the chair next to him.

"Second lieutenant, that's it..." The crown prince carefully considered his words, "I want to entrust you with a task."

"Yes, Your Highness." Levi raised his eyes and asked with his eyes.

Facing this pair of obsidian-like eyes, the prince could hardly bear to avoid his gaze, and he tightly clasped his hands on the table, "I want to send you to participate in this public concubine selection contest .”

"..."

"Are you acceptable?"

"..." The second lieutenant's expression didn't change much, but his face became paler and his pupils became darker. When Roger Hill thought he would not get the answer, Levi said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid I I can't promise..."

"Second Lieutenant, I have always believed that you are the best soldier in the empire..."

"Sorry, Your Highness." The young second lieutenant interrupted the crown prince rudely for the first time.He only felt that his heart was being tightened gradually by a slender and sharp silk string, and every word of the prince seemed to tighten the string even tighter.

If it is really the people of the empire and has never been close to Roger Hill, maybe Levi will really participate in this grand ceremony just for elimination.Judging from the figures released by the media, there have been 100 million people who signed up for the competition so far, 100 million to [-]. Even though they knew it was almost hopeless, they still couldn't help but fight for this slim chance.But for now, I have actually got everything I can get, and I shouldn't think about anything else at all.

Moreover, in a sense, participating in the concubine election means being separated from the crown prince, because as a spy of the alliance, he can't explain to his superiors why he has to do such a thing that is meaningless to collect intelligence and obtain royal DNA. the behavior of.

Therefore, even at the risk of offending the prince, Levi still made a decision to refuse.

After getting the second lieutenant's answer, Roger Hill stood up from behind the desk and walked to his guard officer.He knew that it would be too despicable to come up with the following reason, but he really couldn't think of a better way to convince the determined Levi.

So, the Crown Prince said in a requesting and even begging tone that had never been used before, "Even if it's for me, it's not okay?"

The soft words fell into the second lieutenant's ears, but he was shaken violently as if stung. He raised his head suddenly, looked at the prince who said the ambiguous words in disbelief, hoping to find anything from his expression that could judge him. Are you aware of the signs of your own mind.

However, I don't know whether it was a disappointment or a sigh of relief, Roger Hill's handsome expression was the same as before, but the ice blue eyes were full of deep expectations.

No matter at any time, in any situation, as long as it is this person's request, it is probably impossible to refuse.

Even if he wants to commit suicide now, he should fulfill this order meticulously.

It's just that if we can't meet again in the future, what can't we bear?

In such thoughts, Levi lowered his head, and the black hair that moved along with his movements fell down lifelessly, and he focused his gaze on a void, "Then, can you tell me the reason? "

"...Sorry, not yet." Roger Hill said these words as softly as possible, as if he was afraid that the other party would be disturbed.Everything was obviously arranged for two people to be together, but now it seems to be hurting the person who loves him deeply. The crown prince suddenly felt that the depression in his heart could not be expressed in words, and he could only try to remedy it, "It's not impossible, I just want to make sure again, Second Lieutenant..."

"I agree." The second lieutenant's words of agreement slipped quickly, "If you have no other orders, I will take my leave first."

Reluctant to think about Roger Hill's motivation for giving this order, Levi just felt like his head was filled with lead and he couldn't think. He just wanted to find a place to be quiet by himself.

"No, lieutenant, don't go."

He was stopped by the crown prince.

Looking at Levi's bloodless face, Roger Hill suddenly felt that if he was left alone, he would probably hide in a deserted corner and count the broken pieces of his heart.

"Your Highness, is there anything else?" The guard officer who was eager to leave couldn't care about the disrespect in words.

"Second Lieutenant, Levi..."

The prince held his shoulders so that he could not escape, and then slowly leaned over to touch his lips with his lips. Levi flinched in surprise, but still did not avoid it.

At such a close distance, it was impossible to hide any subtle emotions. The second lieutenant's hurt and affectionate eyes made the Crown Prince feel that the swelling emotions in his chest were about to explode.

"Levy, would you please sit down?"

Under the guidance of Roger Hill, the guard sat down obediently, but the next moment, he was blindfolded by the handkerchief that the prince carried with him.

The sudden darkness in his field of vision made the second lieutenant slightly flustered, "Your Highness, you..."

"Shh, don't be afraid, trust me," the crown prince's coaxing and loving tone seemed to be treating a priceless and fragile item, "I just want to make you happy, at least...don't be so sad tonight."

"No, Temple..."

Levi wanted to say something, but his lips were covered by a slightly cool palm, and then he felt that hand slowly move down, unbuttoned his jacket, and adjusted the belt on the trousers in military uniform.

"You..." He wanted to ask again anxiously, but this time he was gently kissed. In the following time, whenever he couldn't help but want to speak, he would be stopped by the prince's gentle but firm movements.

With loss of vision, other senses become extra sensitive.

Levi felt Roger Hill pull away his shirt, and his slender fingers lingered on the scar on his side waist for a long time.Just being stroked by him back and forth like this, the rough and insensitive skin at the scar seemed to suddenly become a sensitive area. With the crown prince's movements, the whole body felt numbness, even the waist became limp, and the lower abdomen gradually became soft. Tighten.

Not wanting the prince to discover this shameful change, the second lieutenant tried to move his body to avoid it, but his legs were hugged and he couldn't move.

After lingering there for a long time, the prince unzipped the zipper on his trousers at a slow speed that Levi could hardly bear, and then the underwear was gently torn off.

"No, Your Highness! No... ah!"

Suddenly realizing what Roger Hill might want to do, the guard began to struggle violently, but the next moment, he felt that his already hot desire was contained in a warm place.

The intense pleasure and unbelievable astonishment overwhelmed the strong-willed officer in an instant, and he suddenly fell limply on the chair.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has always been noble and elegant, is doing it for himself...

Levi was thinking chaotically in his mind. He tried hard to wake up from this absurd dream, but this was something that would never appear in a dream.

Now the soft silky thing covering his bare thigh should be His Highness's blond hair; His Highness's eyes should be looking at him, observing his expression all the time; It's my own...

When Levi sketched out such a scene in his mind, he was ashamed to find that he was even more excited, and the joy of the soul surpassed all previous climaxes at this moment, and the guard officer had no time to remind the prince and reached the peak.

"Cough, cough, cough..." At the same time, what came to my ears was the sound of the crown prince's choking violent coughing.

Levi hurriedly pulled down the handkerchief covering his eyes, and saw Roger Hill half-kneeling and leaning on the back of the chair, his face flushed with coughing.The second lieutenant hurriedly pulled up his skirt, and handed the tea on the desk to the prince.

The crown prince took a few sips and took a while to recover.

During the period, Levi seemed to want to pat him on the back, but he still stood there and did not approach him, "Are you feeling better, Dian..."

"It's okay, it's just that I choke if I'm not prepared... I won't be able to if I have experience in the future." Roger Hill rushed to say, the violent cough made him short of breath, and his cheeks were very red.It was the first time for him to do such a thing for others, which made him feel strong shame and discomfort, but he still tried his best to act natural, just to let his guard officer accept this small sacrifice calmly.

"Actually, you don't need to do this." The second lieutenant's voice was mixed with a hint of astringency.

In fact, sometimes, he even hopes that Roger Hill is a cruel and ruthless person. In this way, maybe everything can end better.But on the contrary, the irrelevant warmth given by the prince has reached a level that he cannot bear.

"I just want to bring you happiness, just like what you gave me." The crown prince's anger was not aroused by the obvious words, and he showed a spring-like smile to Levi, "Lieutenant, sometimes I am Think, I need you more than I imagined, so, will you always be by my side?"

"Well, I will."

Until the day when we are destined to leave.

Levi solemnly made such a promise in his heart.

Roger Hill wanted to say something, but a sudden knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

"Your Highness, I am Xue Nuo, may I come in now?" Lieutenant Xue Nuo asked anxiously outside the door.

The atmosphere of sweetness mixed with depression was suddenly broken. The second lieutenant hurriedly cleaned up his messy military uniform as if suddenly awake, while Roger Hill turned around and took another sip of black tea to cover up.

At such an extremely inappropriate time, he chose to interrupt the crown prince's secret meeting. If the person who made this move was Xue Nuo, then something important must have happened.

So it didn't take long for Roger Hill to grant him access.

"Your Highness, there is an emergency that needs to be reported to you." After saluting the crown prince, Xue Nuo did not immediately explain the situation, but looked at Levi who was standing aside.

Roger Hill noticed his gaze, but did not ask Levi to avoid it, but directly expressed his trust in him.

"You don't mind, just tell me," said the prince to the lieutenant.

"Yes." Xue Nuo opened the record in his hand, "According to the report just received by the Capital Security Bureau, Baron Parson, an honored nobleman of the Empire, was found dead at home at 87:[-] this afternoon. The murderer's method of committing the crime was very cruel. , Baron Parson was stabbed [-] times, and his limbs and torso were dismembered. According to the forensic report, Baron Parson died after the entire dismemberment process was completed. This is the first murder of a noble with a title in the imperial capital in the past five years It is preliminarily judged that it was done by someone close to the baron. Before the baron was killed, many fires broke out in his mansion, and many slaves and pets fled everywhere. The murderer took advantage of this opportunity to commit the crime.”

"Such a case will definitely cause the nobles to panic. Has the Security Bureau formulated corresponding measures?"

"It has been drawn up. The chief of the Security Bureau is waiting for you to summon him outside."

In Xue Nuo's view, the death of a baron is insignificant at all, but Baron Parson is a contestant in the public election event and has a noble status.His death happened just after Roger Hill delivered a speech on equal opportunities for civilians, and the political significance of it has to be thought-provoking.

The prince obviously thought of this too, and his expression was solemn for a while.

"Okay, let him come in now. And people from the News and Propaganda Department, the Foreign Affairs Department, the Intelligence Department and the Noble Affairs Bureau, let them come here quickly." After the order, the crown prince looked up at Levi's tired face. With a pale face, he said to Xue Nuo when he was out, "Second Lieutenant, it looks like I may have to work all night, you should go back today."

Levi was taken aback, "Your Highness, I can..."

"Listen to me and have a good rest." The prince emphasized his tone, and then he smiled, "If I am sick, I hope you will take care of me when I am healthy, so this is my selfishness."

Sensing Roger Hill's concern, Levi didn't refuse any more, "Okay, then I will step down first."

"Um."

After the second lieutenant left, the Crown Prince rubbed the center of his brows. He ordered another cup of coffee, and decided to put aside his personal affairs for the time being, and put all his energy into preparing for the ensuing high-intensity work.

On the way back, Levi was in a trance all the way.

The official residence of the Guards Officer was arranged on the outskirts of the Crown Prince's Mansion, and there was a special person in charge of guarding it, and it has always been a heavily guarded place.But even in such a place, the sirens of the imperial capital can be heard resounding through the night sky. It seems that the police force of the imperial capital has been fully deployed.

When he was about to walk to the dormitory, he suddenly heard a slight call coming from a hidden bush beside him.

"Levi...Second Lieutenant..."

Night had fallen, and in the thick black that seemed to be solid, these words could hardly be heard, but the sense of vigilance accumulated through years of strict military training made him tense up immediately, and his fingers opened the skin of the laser gun set.

A faint smell of blood wafted from the densely covered bushes.

"Who?" The voice of the second lieutenant who had already entered a state of alert was full of deterrence.

"Don't be nervous, it's me." The thin voice replied.

A banana leaf facing Levi moved, and a face that he had a deep memory revealed.

In my memory, the facial features are somewhat similar to Roger Hill's. He could have been called a beautiful and enchanting young man, but he has undergone a huge change from the time he met before.The extreme emaciation made his dark blue eyes, which already occupied half of his face, even more hollow and lifeless, and the blue blood vessels protruding from his pale skin reminded him of the silk web of a poisonous spider.There were black blood clots on his face and hair, and as long as he walked in, he could smell a strong rancid smell.

"Surprised to see me again?" Raymond's neck had lost the collar that identified him, "but I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Raimon, why are you here?" Even though he was taken aback, the second lieutenant's hand was still on the holster. The boy who suddenly appeared in a strange posture reminded him of Baron Parson's tragic death.

His nervousness brought about a faint smile on the young man's lips, "Put the gun away, Second Lieutenant, I won't kill you like I killed Baron Parson."

"Are you a murderer?!"

"That's right, besides, I've wanted to do this for a long time."

Raymond was still wearing the clothes made of packaging materials, but the clothes were covered with spray-like blood stains, and the original color could no longer be seen.It's hard to imagine that this frail young man brutally killed his titular master, but the relaxed smile on his face makes it all reasonable.

He is like a dodder flower suppressed and growing in the cracks in the wall, finally finding the opportunity to strangle the host, and he is exposing and stretching the stamens against the sun, admiring his own victory.

But this is not the only thing that puzzled Levi, "But why did you come here? Why did you find me? As a soldier of the empire, although I sympathize with your previous experience, I will never condone your murderous behavior."

To enter this tightly controlled place is not something a pampered noble pet can do, and the young man has not changed his attire, so if anyone finds out about the murderer's appearance, he will be arrested without hesitation.

Raymond seemed to have full confidence that Levi would not inform him, "You will help me, Lieutenant. You may not know me, but I have known you since a long time ago. We have many similarities , There are also many origins, the simplest of which... Have you forgotten? I reminded you that we are from the same place.”

"Sacred Heart Orphanage?"

"No, it's a more distant place."

"You are..." A thought suddenly flashed in his mind that made Levi almost unsteady.

The young man showed a malicious smile, "Nightingale. Isos should have said that I will take the initiative to contact you."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"The only son of Captain Vlad, do you still need me to call out your name in the alliance?" The boy hiding behind the mottled branches, the expression on his face was almost the joy of a successful prank, "Stop struggling, lieutenant, you must Help me, unless you want us both exposed."

"..." Thinking for a few seconds in silence, after quickly judging the current situation, Levi finally decided to believe in Raymond's identity as an alliance comrade, "Follow me."

Since he was already familiar with the operation of the empire's surveillance system, it didn't take long for Levi to bring him back to his current residence.

Expecting that he might hide here for a while, while Raymond was taking a shower, the second lieutenant went to the room where Roger Hill's surrounding items were kept, cleaned up the photos pasted on the wall as quickly as possible, and deleted them. All the stored information in the computer is gone.

Seeing the treasures that he painstakingly collected over the years as a fanatical crush disappear little by little, the second lieutenant felt a dull pain in his heart.But now is obviously not the time to be distressed about these things, he then opened an emergency communication with Issos and reported the current situation to him.

"He killed Baron Parson?!" After figuring out all the situation, Issos also showed a surprised expression.

"Didn't this matter come from your order?"

"...I asked him to do it, but...the result is a little different from what I expected." The Brigadier General quickly adjusted his reaction.

"Then what should we do next?"

"You help him hide his whereabouts first, and I will arrange the rest."

"Yes, sir."

The two quickly ended the call.Even though Issos was unwilling to admit it for some reason, the second lieutenant had seen that Raymond's actions were far beyond his expectations.

Is it necessary or fearless to violate the order of the alliance military so blatantly?

When Levi walked out of the inner bedroom, he saw the boy who had taken a shower and was lying on the sofa relaxing in his bathrobe.His delicate and bare thighs protruded from the parted hem of the bathrobe, and even the toenails were lovely and attractive pink.As a sex doll, every movement and demeanor of him has been strictly trained.So even a casual pose is full of extravagant and fragrant atmosphere.

But for Levi, even a peerless beauty dancing pole dance is not as seductive as Roger Hill's slender and powerful fingers.

Raymond seemed to have noticed this too.

"Second lieutenant, you have been following the crown prince of the empire for so long, don't you have any feelings for him? Baron Parson likes him very much. Every time he fucks me, he always calls 'Roger, my beloved Roger. , my flawless prince' and the like, he doesn't get tired of this all the time, he's really stupid." He imitated Baron Parson's tone, but his disgust and disdain for this nobleman was palpable.

Rui Meng stuck out her tongue, and then turned the topic to Levy, "What about you? I look very similar to the crown prince. If you need it, I can provide the service for free, just as an expression of my gratitude. "

Although he didn't know his purpose, Levi was keenly aware that it was a temptation.He said calmly, "I just reported our current situation to Chief Issos."

"Oh? What did he say?"

"He said let me cover you first, and he will arrange things later."

"Really? May the god of the universe quickly let him find a solution to these troubles." The young nightingale-like voice groaned lazily, as if he was not worried about the alliance's treatment of him at all.He blinked, stretched his waist, and shifted the topic to Levi again, "Second Lieutenant, aren't you curious? About why I suddenly killed Baron Parson, and what I just said... …other connections we have.

"Not yet." The second lieutenant replied coldly, "my bedroom is over there. You can choose one of the living room and the inner bedroom to rest. I'm very busy recently, so I may not be able to come back for several days in a row. There are some in the refrigerator. The food is enough to last you for several days. You don’t have to pay attention to anyone knocking on the door, and I hope you don’t leave here for your own safety.”

"Okay, I'll sleep in the living room for now. Of course, I will stay obediently."

Seeing that Levi was unmoved, Raymond deliberately made a cute expression, but just as the second lieutenant was about to turn around and leave, the boy suddenly stopped him, "Can you turn off the light? Otherwise, I might not be able to fall asleep. "

Thinking that after experiencing such a thing, the boy would be afraid of the dark, so Levi didn't intend to turn off all the lights at first.But since Raymond asked, Levi still entered his bedroom and locked the door after turning off the night light.

In the darkness, the boy codenamed "Nightingale" did not close his eyes immediately, his dark blue pupils reflected a frightening light under the moonlight.
