Finding a Queen

Upon hearing the three people's address to Meimei, Xia Yu was surprised. He thought that Meimei was just an ordinary noble child, but she turned out to be a member of the royal family in District 232?

Wait, according to the news before, it was said that the royal family members of District 232 were all dead due to the rebellion.

So, does it mean that Meimei is now the only royal family member? The future queen?

Am I the queen's bear? Xia Yu fell into deep thought.

After hearing that the three people came to pick her up, Meimei did not feel relieved to go with them; instead, she hid nervously behind Xiong Yu.

Lowering his head, Xia Yu looked at Meimei, who had blocked him in front of the gun and hid behind him after the gun was removed, feeling the complexity of her courage.

At this time, hurried footsteps came from a distance, and it was A-wei catching up.

Seeing the three in camouflage, A-wei was not surprised. The three men also had ten companions, who were now in the village.

"Your Highness, they are members of the Royal Guard," A-wei revealed his identity, no longer needing to pretend.

Upon hearing this name, the tension on Meimei's face relaxed somewhat. The Royal Guard had always been a unit directly under the royal family.

"Shall we go back and discuss?" the leading camouflage man asked Meimei.

"I want to take Xiong Xiong with me." The girl hugged Xia Yu's waist tightly.

Looking at the more than two meters tall brown bear, the three camouflage men swallowed and looked at A-wei.

"Ah, this is Her Highness's pet, very well-behaved," A-wei said insincerely.

The three men were then relieved, having heard rumors of Meimei having a bear and thinking Xia Yu was just a pet bear.

The three of them glanced at Xiong Yu, seeing him quickly finish the fruit in his basket and then let his own princess sit in.

"What a well-behaved bear," the three camouflage men exclaimed.

Well-behaved? A-wei gave them a glance, secretly laughing in his heart. In his mind flashed an image of Xiong Yu fighting three tigers without injury a few weeks ago.

Moreover, this brown bear knew how to fight!

Would you be afraid of a brown bear that knows how to sweep your legs? Would you fear a brown bear with a guillotine?

With these thoughts, A-wei couldn't help but speed up his steps, distancing himself a bit from Xiong Yu.

The group quickly arrived at the edge of the village, and without entering the village, they reached a wooden house on the edge, large enough to accommodate a dozen people.

"Xiong will stay outside," A-wei looked at Xiong Yu.

Meimei hesitated a bit.

"It wouldn't be a big deal to bring him in," the leading camouflage man said indifferently. Wild bears are terrifying, but pet bears are not scary at all.

Bears are canines and omnivorous animals; many upper-class families keep bears as pets. In comparison to tigers and lions, which are more likely to betray their owners, canine bears are much more docile.

Of course, all these premises assume that the bear is a pet bear and not a wild bear.

The three camouflage men misunderstood, but A-wei knew very well that Xiong Yu was a wild bear, and a very powerful one at that; if he wanted to, none of the people in the house, including the ten people, would survive.

After weighing the options, A-wei decided it was better to tell the three.

"Actually, this is a wild bear that originally lived here," A-wei said.

The three men in camouflage uniforms were taken aback, exchanged glances, and burst into laughter. They glanced at the brown bear that was licking the honey on Meimei's hand, looking obedient and cute, and felt that Awei had a great sense of humor.

"Before, this bear fought with three tigers and didn't get hurt!" Awei emphasized Bear Yu's fierceness.

"Hahaha!" The three laughed even harder.

The leader of the camouflage-clad men took over Awei's joke: "That's right, the bear used Jeet Kune Do at that time, while screaming 'ah ah ah', it took down all three tigers, right?"

Awei chose to remain silent.

Giving up the struggle, he led Bear Yu into the wooden house.

Upon seeing Bear Yu, the people in the house were not surprised. They had someone on lookout by the window and had already seen Bear Yu.

Their original vigilance disappeared after they heard that this was the prince's pet bear, and some soldiers even tried to tempt Bear Yu with food.

"Come, come, good bear, do you want to eat this?" The soldiers didn't want to miss the opportunity to have some fun. They held up their own rations, a kind of cake that Xia Yu had never seen before. It looked quite good.

Xia Yu thought they were sincerely offering food and reluctantly stretched out his paw to taste it. However, the soldiers took the cakes back and stuffed them into their mouths, laughing heartily.

Awei was worried about them and opened the window, getting ready to jump out and escape.

Bear Yu did not get angry. He snorted in his heart, took out the honey jar from his basket, put Meimei's hand in it, coated it with golden honey and then licked it happily.

Watching the brown bear enjoy licking the beautiful princess's hand and the delicious honey, while they had to eat their dry flatbread, the soldiers suddenly felt sad.

They were worse off than a bear!

A group of soldiers entered their downtime, leaning against the wall without wanting to move at all.

Ahhua, who rushed over, was shocked. She thought that most of the guards had been ambushed and killed on the road, so their morale was so low.

After knowing that they were only defeated by a bear, Ahhua was relieved.

Once everyone was gathered, the group began to discuss matters.

In the wooden house, there was a long table. Meimei sat in the chief position, with Awei and Ahhua sitting on her left and right, and the others sitting or standing behind them.

Bear Yu moved a small wooden stool and sat behind Meimei, listening to the discussions.

At the table, the members primarily discussing were the leaders of the guard and Awei and Ahhua, the others barely spoke a word, and Meimei was lost in her thoughts, about to fall asleep.

As for the other soldiers, they also had no interest.

Only Bear Yu listened attentively the whole time.

He summarized the information from the three's conversation.

Awei wanted the guards to send someone to escort Meimei to the temporary government's location, where they had announced the restoration of the royal family.

The leader of the guards disagreed with Awei, saying that three months ago, they found a prince and handed him over to the temporary government. But within a month, he was assassinated by the rebel army in the temporary government's headquarters, right next to the prime minister's room, and the prime minister wasn't hurt.

The guards believed that the temporary government was also a chaotic party. They wanted Meimei to establish her own government in the city controlled by the guards and then wage war against the fake government and the rebel army.

If what the captain of the Imperial Guard said was true, being independent would be the best choice. But was what he said really true? Perhaps it was a lie told just so the Imperial Guard could have control over the future Empress.

Ah Wei was thinking this way, unable to make a judgment.

He decided to go out on his own first and investigate the temporary government.

"There's no time left! The fake government might come to investigate here at any time!" the captain of the Imperial Guard said.

"That's your problem. I have to go there." Ah Wei said determinedly, standing up. "I'm leaving now!"

Arriving directly at the door, Ah Wei opened it, and with a bang of gunfire, he fell to the ground.

"Close the door!" The captain of the Imperial Guard immediately drew his gun.
