Hahahaha!

"The three legion commanders seem to be really old; even Her Majesty the Empress can't tell them apart."

The virtual image of the empress gradually disappeared, revealing her true appearance: wearing a red military uniform and a tall black hat with a tuft of extremely green peacock feathers on it.

The iconic uniform of the Royal Guard.

He frowned immediately upon hearing the laugh, which sounded like a croaking duck. "Cole, is that you? Your laugh is awful. Shut up."

"Yeah, look at your bunny teeth, you're practically laughing your head off."

"Are those rabbit teeth? Don't insult rabbits. Rabbits can't be that black!"

"That's true."

Grandpa Lu and He Zhang worked together to infuriate Cole, proving that when men get sarcastic, women have no chance.

Bai Shan lowered his head, chuckled secretly, and then coughed lightly. "Alright, all three of you are over two hundred years old. How childish! Cole, what are you doing here? Where is Her Majesty the Empress?"

Cole straightened his cuffs. "Please call me Commander Cole, thank you."

He Zhang scoffed at this, "Look, he's getting all worked up just because I said he's fat. He's really giving me too much credit."

The conflict between the Royal Guard and the military has a long history. People in the military look down on the Royal Guard as just pretty faces, and even those who are recruited are chosen based on their good looks, for the sake of appearances.

The Royal Guard has many rules and regulations, so they naturally find the military personnel uncouth. In addition, Cole and He Zhang don't get along, so it's common for them to insult each other when they meet.

The fact that they can harm each other proves that the empire is still doing alright, and the sky won't fall.

Cole knew he was bad at talking and couldn't win against these three people, but it didn't matter, the Queen was on his side.

"Alright, let's get back to business."

"What important business could you possibly have, the Queen's 40th birthday?"

"you……!"

"Naturally, I'm referring to General Lu Yuanhong's matter. The Empress has entrusted me with handling this entirely, and Commander Cole will take full responsibility for it."

After saying this, Cole stopped and observed the expressions of the three old men opposite him.

He was always overshadowed when he was in school, and later his wife was also overshadowed. Now, he's still single and alone.

Fortune's wheel turns, and now it's his turn.

For the first time, Grandpa Lu looked Cole in the eye and asked, "How do you plan to handle this?"

"How I want to handle it is naturally... what does it have to do with you? Today's video call is just to inform you of three things."

Bai Shan pressed down on He Zhang, who was about to get up, and shook his head.

Regardless of whether the other party's arrogant attitude is a deliberate provocation or something else, they still have to listen to the whole story.

Old Master Lu had started brewing his tea again sometime earlier. "Okay, you can continue. What about the other two?"

"As expected of an army regimental commander, a leading figure of the three major legions, even in death... he remained so calm."

Grandpa Lu poured himself a cup of tea and talked as he poured it.

"Cole, believe it or not, even if you're the Queen's loyal dog right now, I can still rip your tongue out."

His voice was filled with murderous intent, yet not a single drop of water spilled from the cup, demonstrating the extent of his mental control.

Cole swallowed hard, still feeling the fear of being dominated by Grandpa Lu over the years.

I subconsciously shifted my buttocks back a little.

"Lu Yunting, don't go too far. I... I'm telling you... the truth."

He Zhang couldn't be bothered to look at the other party's obsequious manner. After more than ten years in the Royal Guard, he hadn't made any progress. He really didn't know what he was good for.

He didn't want his anger, which he had finally managed to extinguish, to be reignited.

"Alright, tell me the second thing!"
