StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 104 I Love the Tyrannian Federation
The banquet was held as usual, and the self-sufficient and elegant nobles began to dine, waving knives and forks lightly on the tablecloth made of expensive silk fabrics, and wiping their lips with handkerchiefs embroidered with gold threads.

Beside Augustus, Jim Raynor, knife and fork in hand against a perfectly cooked steak, stabs and cuts as viciously as if holding a sword, as if fighting some enemy that doesn't really exist Fighting.

Renault is furious now.

Augustus felt that Raynor must have been greatly stimulated. The farmer's son was changing his mind, and he hated the ruler of Tarsonis even more than before.

Not far from them, Edmund Duke seemed not to have noticed Augustus and Reynolds who were also invited as noble officers, but clinked glasses with several officers next to him. They all wore Shining medal.

This boring banquet did not last long. Most of the nobles had no appetite, but Edmund and his friends were in high spirits and did not abide by any etiquette, but enjoyed the food and honor "like soldiers".

By around ten o'clock in the evening, even the best drinkers put down their glasses and left their seats.At this moment the servants dragged the tables and chairs away, music blared from jeweled gramophones, and the ladies and ladies danced with their partners.

"Shall we dance?" Renault said to Augustus after thinking for a long time.

"The two of us?" said Augustus.

"It's not good." Renault didn't say whether he agreed or refused.

But the swarm of ladies soon snatched Reno's partner away.Next, to Reynolds' laments, Augustus dances with one young lady after another.

Augustus had received training on court etiquette and dance since he was a child. After a few days of cramming, he was able to dance to every piece of music, with light steps and no mistakes.

In the third dance Augustus was obliged to take Annabelle Terra's hand, and his daughter seemed very much eager to dance with him, much to his perplexity.

And Annabella's youngest daughter, Novatella, was sitting on her small chair, looking at Augustus with some indescribable eyes, her mouth was slightly open, her light green eyes were wide open, and Augustus Gus would love to call this a dead fisheye.

This kid doesn't look very smart.

Augustus didn't know that this was Nova, the famous ghost agent of the Tyranid Empire in the future.

"Your hands are strong, and your eyes remind me of a vicious wolf. Oh, you are so beautiful." Annabella's thin lips are very attractive, she is well maintained, and her low-cut dress is struggling to lift Its breasts were too full, and Augustus was always worried that it would be overwhelmed.

"How many push-ups can you do, how many pounds of barbell can you lift, have you ever run an ancient earth sport called a marathon?"

"Are you persistent?"

"Did Mr. Terra not come to the banquet?" Augustus looked around, as if warning himself that he was not cheating.

At the same time, he also felt that Annabelle's unabashed sexual interest in him might cause unexpected trouble.

"Are you talking about Konstantin? Oh, he's still stuck in Pilobogu, where a new maglev car factory is being built, and the production lines for the latest maglev bicycles and cars are ready." Annabelle said carelessly, By the way, he also teased Augustus: "You are very shy."

"Don't worry, although Constantine and I are married, we still have our own opinions." Annabella said, "This is a political marriage. We don't have any feelings for each other. As long as it's not too out of line, Constantine will forgive you."

"Ma'am." Augustus was in this situation for the first time, and he admitted that he had little experience in it.Augustus was able to chat happily with girls who were not much different from his own age, but he was really not good at dealing with women two or three times his age.

"My daughter also likes you very much." Annabella was dancing with Augustus while complaining that the other's hands were not in the right position: "The hands above the waist can be put down."

"." Augustus didn't want to complain, so he wisely chose to shut up, and he didn't foolishly ask which daughter it was.

This is so weird.

"You are a member of the Khammonsk family, and many people think you should be the heir of Angus Mengsk, the rising star of Korha's administration, and the future owner of a business empire spanning several planets. "Annabelle stopped teasing Augustus.

"I also have a 28-year-old brother who is much better than me." Augustus could tell that the Terra family, at least Annabella Terra—or maybe only her—was the only one who was interested in the Mengsk family. The attitude is not so tit-for-tat, and he regards Mengsk as an equivalent nobleman.

Although the creation families on other main star worlds are no more than a century of upstarts in the eyes of the nobles of Tarsonis, the ancestors of the Mengsk family were nothing more than when the creation families of Tarsonis already controlled the Tyrann Federation. The captain of the colonial fleet or an ordinary crew member.But being able to control the economic lifeline of a planet, especially a place as wealthy as Korha, has given the Mengsk family a semblance of equality in the past.

Augustus could see that when the riots broke out in Korhal and the senators called for the entire planet to secede from federal rule, the more prominent nobles in Tarsonis kept them at a respectful distance or harbored deep hatred .

This was especially evident in the Tagore family, and Augustus believed that someone from the Tagore family would come to him after the banquet.

Perhaps Augustus can win the support of the Terra family, but he himself has no expectations for this. After all, the power of such an ancient creation family in Tarsonis has long been entrenched. Their natural position is to oppose revolutionaries like Angus.

But Augustus wanted House Terra to remain neutral, at least on the issue of destroying Korhal with an Apocalypse-class nuke.

"The people of Kekha haven't seen your brother for eight years." Annabelle said to Augustus, "He disappeared after he retired from the army, and no one could find him."

"Yes, I don't know where he is either." Augustus knew that the "Keha people" could be understood as the federal agents who were performing missions in Keha, and "everyone" probably meant all the agents.

Annabelle was silent for a while, her interest in Augustus seemed to come not only from his handsome appearance and elegant speech.

"So, do you think your father is right?" After a while, Annabella asked suddenly.

"Of course it's downright stupid. That stubborn old man's spirit is on the verge of breaking down." Augustus raised his voice a little: "I joined the Marine Corps precisely because I was too disappointed in him."

"It is the founding family and the aristocratic system that gave the Mengsk family their current status. What reason do we have to hand over the rights and give the right to rule Korha to those ignorant civilians who have neither knowledge nor talent?"

"Believe me, I, Augustus Mengsk, I love the Tyrannian Federation more than myself."
