He looked at Carolina seriously.
"Want to make a deal with me?"
Purple clouds floated above their heads.
Carolina asked, "What deal?"
Pei Ji's voice was deep and powerful. "Before the league, I will find out everything you want, whether it's Lu Sirang's thoughts or Feng Shixu's stance. In exchange, let me be in the same group with Shen Que during the interview."
Carolina raised an eyebrow, "Just to be in the same group with Shen Que?"
“That’s right.”
Pei Ji suddenly changed his tone to a lighter one.
"You know, our First Commander is socially anxious and has a good temper. When he gets angry, he just acts cold and arrogant. If he faces those heartless paparazzi on Starnet alone, he will definitely be bullied."
"Leave him to me. I can protect him."
Carolina laughed inexplicably: "You do understand him."
"I can't say I understand," Pei Ji said nonchalantly. "He's kept so many things from me. Honestly, if he were willing to tell me even half of what he told you, I'd be satisfied."
Hearing this, Carolina's mouth corners unconsciously raised.
"You don't mind?"
"Of course I do."
Pei Ji blurted out.
"But I said, there's no perfect choice. I chose him, so I accept everything about him. Even if he has so many concerns, there's nothing I can do about it."
"I'm waiting too, until he's ready to tell me everything."
"But if he hesitates and decides not to tell me, or feels I'm not suitable, I'll accept that."
Having said that, he stood up and walked to the bottom of the stairs.
"I must take my leave, Your Majesty. This cup of tea takes a while, and I'm afraid someone might be getting impatient waiting."
He looked up at Carolina, placed his right hand on his heart, and gave a traditional military salute.
"Do you agree to my deal?"
In the past, if someone spoke to Carolina in this tone, they would be hung at the gate of the imperial court like dried bacon the next day.
But Carolina was in a good mood.
She tilted her head, looked at the confident and arrogant Alpha, and suddenly raised her hand.
A blue arc passed through the air.
Pei Ji raised his hand to catch it.
It was a badge, with the tail of a huge whale emerging from the rolling waves.
Pei Ji's pupils shrank.
The royal family crest.
"What is this?" he asked meaningfully.
"A little bit of authority," Carolina said.
"Are you so sure of my position?" Pei Ji was surprised.
If I remember correctly, this badge can mobilize at least half of the knights of the imperial court, which is almost equivalent to the authority wielded by the princess.
"What? Are you saying that I should spend some time testing you before I can confirm your position?"
Carolina's eyes flickered slightly.
"No previous lord of Baisha Star has participated in the struggle in the imperial court. I am giving you a choice, Pei Ji."
Pei Ji held the badge.
"White Sand Planet will not participate in the Imperial Court struggle, but that doesn't mean we are willing to hand over the Empire to traitors who use their people for experiments and collude with the Zerg."
When Carolina heard this, a smile flashed across her eyes.
Pei Ji saluted her again. Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, then spoke:
"Your Majesty, do you know that there is a sentence on the title page of all preschool books in the empire?"
Carolina was stunned.
"To our best queen Carolina, who saved Ikaros. We will love her forever."
Pei Ji raised his lips and said, "As one of your subjects, I feel very lucky."
