black queen hypothesis

In any case, Vilas lived in the presidential mansion so carelessly.The reason why he is so careless is because he has to do the following "routine tasks" every day——

Get up at 05:30, go out for morning exercises with Sivio, and greet more than a dozen senior federal officials on the way;

After Silvio went to the Congress Palace, he took care of the flowers and plants, and occasionally went out to buy daily necessities;

In the evening, wait for Silvio to have dinner together, or until the bedroom lights are on until Silvio comes back from overtime work...

In a word, how to be virtuous, how to be affectionate.I have to say, it seems to be quite useful--in less than three days, the wind of public opinion has become Mr. President's favorite, although he looks like a flower, but fortunately he is diligent and thrifty in managing his family, so he almost doesn't know whether his leadership ability is worthy of it.

Vilas nearly choked himself to death when he saw the report.Looks like flowers are diligent and thrifty at home?If he was not mistaken, he felt that he should be the exact opposite.

Then a glass of water was placed in front of him.It was Silvio, obviously the other party noticed his reaction.

"So what the hell is it all about?" Vilas asked the other party in a low voice.Because the two of them rarely come to a garden dinner, there are a lot of reporters waiting nearby for breaking news.

Silvio looked at the flat panel projection and didn't care. "Everything is going to plan."

Vilas guessed that this might mean that their love could arouse the pirate leader's sense of crisis, but... "Okay," he said helplessly, "don't show me this at dinner in the future, it will make people lose their appetite."

Silvio glanced at Vilas, not sure whether Vilas was disgusted by his virtual appearance or just simply didn't want to appear in the same photo with him. "good."

This cooperative attitude made Vilas a little bit guilty.He and Silvio have nothing in common, and they always talk about the conditions, but now...why does it feel weird?

He tried to think back again, and then realized that it had been weird since he moved in.Indeed, Silvio kept his promise and never exceeded the rules, but wasn't he a little too honest?So much so that it doesn't look like the Silvio he knew at the beginning?Not to mention being hostile to each other, the quarrels are gone, is it normal?

Although Vilas thought so, he would not tell Silvio this to his face.But today, he knocked on the door of Silvio's study when he usually retreated to his bedroom.

"Is something wrong?" Sylvio was slightly surprised by this.

Vilas folded his hands. "A little bit."

Silvio watched his movements, rarely hesitated. "Come in and say?"

Vilas had no such intention, after all, the study is a very private place.But the other party invited him like this, and he felt that it would be a shame not to go in for a walk. After all, not everyone can visit the federal president's study.

So two people entered the door, one sat on the sofa, and the other went back behind the desk.Silvio butted his fingers together to form a steeple on the table, with an expression on his face that he would like to hear more about it.

The weird feeling became more obvious, and Vilas moved his body uncomfortably. "You said over dinner, 'It's all in the plan,'" he began. "May I ask how long we'll have to pretend if it goes according to your plan?"

Silvio pondered for a moment. "Considering the distance between Cape Sounion and Capiter, three weeks if it is fast, no more than two months if it is slow." He thought for a while, and added: "Smitz has never been a patient person."

Makes sense, Vilas nodded. "Then what else can I do in the meantime?"

"No, I've arranged everything."

Vilas blinked. "Then if I say I'm going out..."

"Of course." Silvio's surprise became more obvious, "Aren't you going to work with them on union commission?"

There was an awkward silence.Silvio reacted and added: "As long as Smitz appears, your business will be over. I will do what I say."

Do I have "I can't wait to get out of this fucking place" written all over my face?Vilas asked himself, and realized that it was quite possible. "I appreciate your generosity, Mr. President," he said a little angrily, "but there's no end to it?"

As soon as Silvio heard the address "Mr. President", he knew that Vilas was offended. "What's 'endless'?" Before he finished speaking, he saw Vilas making gestures between the two of them, and instantly understood: "You said that..."

"Yes, I said spiritual connection." Vilas affirmed, staring at Silvio closely, "What about this thing?"

"It..." Compared to before, Silvio's answer was a bit reluctant, "Maybe there is something wrong."

Vilas heard the ominous meaning in it. "What do you mean 'may be a problem'?" he asked.

"I think you should have discovered that it is much stronger than ordinary accidental connections." Silvio frowned, "I have measured it, and it has reached the strength of the A-level sentinel guide binding."

Veras stood up abruptly. "What did you say?!"

Binding a strength to the A-level sentinel guide... Doesn't that mean that it is basically impossible to disassemble it?You must know that forcibly dismantling the bound sentries and guides is most likely to cause painful deaths for both parties, and this pain will only be multiplied when placed on super-s sentries and guides!Even if they survived by luck, they would all be destroyed!

"Currently there is no suitable coercive method." Silvio continued, his tone calm again, "You mentioned it just right, and I have a suggestion for it."

Vilas hasn't calmed down yet, but he knows that Silvio must have thought about this issue many times. "What is it?"

"Until we can find a better solution, you and I will pretend it doesn't exist." Sylvio said, "Also, as long as Smitz shows up, I will give you the remaining neutralizer." He With a firm expression and a calm tone, "You can take them back to the empire."

...then they have nothing to do with each other?

Vilas was stunned.He couldn't help being stunned, because he began to realize that Silvio wasn't joking.In other words, Silvio never joked——

Silvio has long said that he is the only heir to the throne of the empire.He thought it was just a sentence, but what Silvio really meant was that he could still become the new emperor of the empire!

"Does the rest of the Federation know what you're doing?" Vilas asked after a long while.

"They don't need to know." Silvio replied calmly.

...a real control freak!Vilas couldn't help but slander again. "Then you trust me?"

Silvio glanced at him sharply, and his answer was still neat. "Honestly, not sure."

Vilas really felt like he was going to be confused. "Then you still do this?" He deliberately asked, "What if I return to the Empire and lead an army to attack the Federation?"

"Then I will beat you again." Silvio said without thinking.

Villars didn't know whether to applaud Silvio's confidence or beat him up for Silvio's arrogance.In the end, the funny got the upper hand, "Yes, you can do it!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Silvio accepted the compliment without blinking.He put his hands down. "I assume you have no other questions?"

"No, there is more." Vilas sat down again, crossed his legs, and swayed leisurely.

Seeing his reaction, Silvio felt an urge to laugh. "You want to know why?"

Vilas nodded of course. "It's illogical, isn't it?"

"You really want to know?" Sivio asked again, "but I'm not sure I can tell you."

"Hey!" Vilas yelled dissatisfiedly, "Don't tease me! At worst, I promise not to say anything!"

Silvio was amused. "Actually, the reason is very simple," he spread his hands, "Unification leads to division."

Vilas froze for two seconds. "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" He couldn't hold back his protest, "Isn't it perfunctory for me?"

"Also, a federation is enough to worry about, and the empire can't manage it at all." Silvio continued, with an innocent face, "But you don't believe it."

For a moment, Vilas really wanted to pinch that handsome face that was obtrusive.However, he still didn't do that in the end, just left a soft hum before leaving the study.

Silvio smiled and watched Vilas.But after the door closed, he lowered his eyes and raised them again, his smile slowly disappeared.
