Same light

Three days later, at the headquarters of "Voice of Snow", the largest news media on Xuelixing.

In front of the editor-in-chief's office, a man was pacing back and forth anxiously. He had a press card hanging on his chest. He was one of the reporters present when the prince visited the school that day.

Not long after, a tall woman strode over.At first glance, she was a native of Xuelixing. She was born tall and burly. This was not a genetic ability, but the result of natural selection to adapt to the climate.

The reporter hurried up to greet him: "Editor-in-Chief, you are here! Just now the garrison army and the Ministry of Public Security jointly announced the results of the interrogation..."

"I saw it." The tall woman said, "Come in and talk."

The two entered the editor-in-chief's office. The woman sat behind the desk, but the man couldn't sit still. He said excitedly: "It is now confirmed that the rebels are correct, and what the third prince said that day has been confirmed! Didn't His Royal Highness say the other day? , let us wait for the results of the interrogation? Now that there are results, what does the crown prince say?"

The editor-in-chief said coldly: "The prince doesn't say anything. I contacted the prince's palace, and the people there only said that we should remember the prince's instructions that day. Can't you hear what the prince meant that day?" ?”

The reporter's excited expression froze on his face, and he was suddenly discouraged.After a while, he cautiously spoke again: "But, His Highness the Third Prince..."

He cautiously turned his head to confirm that the door was closed, and said in a low voice: "Didn't the third prince secretly contact you two days ago? Didn't you ask me to prepare the manuscript, saying that it might be possible to publish it? "

"It was the third prince who said that, not me." The editor-in-chief also said a little annoyed.

At that time, she thought that the third prince was putting pressure on her, and she had already euphemistically expressed that they could not disobey the prince's will, but the third prince just said: "I didn't tell you to send it now, I just reminded you to be fully prepared. Only in this way can we seize the opportunity when the right opportunity comes. You only need to wait for a signal, and whether to send it or not at that time is entirely your own choice."

The editor-in-chief at that time asked: "Your Highness, what is the signal?"

"When that signal comes, you will know it naturally."

The communication just hung up.

Although this attitude is not tough, it still made the editor-in-chief feel uncomfortable for two days.

She recounted the conversation that day to the chief reporter in front of her. The reporter thought: "The signal...is it the result of the interrogation? This is indeed a strong evidence for the third prince. Now the third prince wants us to send it, but the prince doesn't want us to send it." ,what should we do?"

The editor-in-chief rested his hand on his forehead and said to himself: "Let me think about it again... this matter must be cautious, if one is not careful..."

The reporter made no noise to disturb her.In this line of work, they are much more sensitive to many things than most civilians.

The current emperor's reputation among the people is not good. Now that the three princes have all grown up, some things have quietly begun. If you accidentally stand on the wrong team, then...

The hasty knock on the door startled the two men who were meditating inside the door.

The reporter opened the door and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Why knock on the door so hard?!"

The editor's assistant outside the door didn't bother to respond to this, and shouted louder than him: "Editor-in-chief! Something happened to the editor-in-chief! The three planets on the second cantilever broke news at the same time, saying that they had completed some cleaning Dirty bomb mission..."

The editor-in-chief twitched, and asked calmly, "What dirty bomb? Where did it come from?"

"There is no detailed report yet, but...it seems to have something to do with the rebel army two years ago. It is said that after the battle two years ago, the Royal Legion entered those three planets and worked secretly for two years. Now Just finished the mission."

The reporter's face was half white and half red, and he said tremblingly, "Two years? We also have a Royal Legion that has been stationed here for two years..."

"The rebel army...dirty bomb...two years..." the editor-in-chief said quickly and anxiously, "I see, I understand, this is, this is the signal!"

The assistant didn't understand, so he said, "Editor-in-Chief, what signal?"

"The signal of changing the sky." The reporter answered, he had already figured it out, and said in a trembling voice, "Editor-in-Chief, shall we publish the article now?"

The editor-in-chief stopped, and none of the remaining two dared to disturb her thinking, and they all waited with bated breath.

Two days ago, the words of the third prince echoed in the editor-in-chief's ears again: "I have read your resume, and with your talent, you really shouldn't be trapped in a news agency on the border for the rest of your life. I know that you just suffer from no promotion channels. Today Maybe you think it’s meaningless for me to say this today, after all, I’m still stuck here. It’s okay, when you think my words are meaningful, please contact me.”

After a few seconds, the editor-in-chief made a decision.

She said sharply: "Send the manuscript, send it now! Send it before everyone else!"

The reporter didn't reply, turned around and rushed to his office.

Then she turned to her assistant and said decisively, "Did we record in a museum that day?"

This is something that is clearly prohibited by the royal order. The assistant shuddered and said in a low voice: "Yes, basically the whole process was recorded...from the first arrow to the bow, to the resolution of the matter..."

The editor-in-chief asked: "Where is the video stored?"

"I didn't dare to store it on a networked device, so I bought an old storage disk and saved it."

"Give it to me." The editor-in-chief said decisively.

Within a day, the news that broke out on the two cantilevers successively ignited public opinion.

The rebel army spent several years secretly deploying dirty bombs on many planets, and the third prince was threatened by the rebel army to detonate the dirty bomb three years ago. In order to protect the majority of the empire, he reluctantly gave up at a critical moment. destroyed the asteroid and destroyed the remote control center.For the next two years, in order not to cause panic among the public, he silently endured the scolding of the whole people and the frantic pursuit of the rebel army, and personally devoted himself to the follow-up cleanup work. The reason is that he has just been stationed in the army for two years.

——This is the conclusion that most people came to after the two pieces of news broke out one after another.

Whether it is a planet that has announced that it has completed the cleanup mission, or a planet that happens to have an army stationed there for two years, the crowd is boiling, and they almost regard the third prince as a savior and reborn parents.

Even if they were not residents of these planets, most of them cursed the Third Prince to some degree two years ago. At this time, the truth was reversed. Under the guilt, the public opinion naturally rebounded with revenge.

Not to mention that a video was circulated from Xuelixing the next day. Although the picture quality was very blurry and the screen was shaking, it was almost impossible to see the face, but there was a previous press release as a comment, which did not prevent everyone from understanding it. What happened.

The noble members of the royal family have always been abstract symbols in the hearts of ordinary people, but today, the more advanced and rare the genetic ability is, the more mysterious it is.This is the first time that commoners have seen the royal family members display the ability of the golden pupil up close.

The shock brought by the visual impact is incomparable to anything.

For a long period of time, people did not remember the first prince with noble conduct, nor the second prince with superb academics, but only remembered the tall figure standing on the high platform amidst the chaos, his flaming pupils, and the magical power in his hand. The miraculous light arrows and giant bow, and these pictures are tightly bound together with the huge famous painting behind him, the picture of the emperor holding the bow.

When Austin hurried to Alfred's remote mansion, there were already more than one car parked outside the villa.

He changed the direction without showing his body, bypassed the front door, and turned in from the back of the villa without a sound.

When he saw the breaking news, for a moment, Austin felt chills all over his body. This chill was not due to the climate of Xueli, but came from his heart and crawled all over his spine.

Because, he always thought that Xueli planet was the planet with the fastest progress in the mission.In the past few days when the prince landed on Xueli Star, he has been keeping a close eye on the legion. Not only did he visit twice in person, but he also kept putting pressure on the media on Xueli Star to ensure that the news would not leak out.

It is precisely because of this that he and Alfred conspired several times, discussing how to break through the prince's heavy blockade and successfully implement their plan when the mission ends next month.

But when Austin tried his best to deal with the prince in the legion pretending to be stupid, the public opinion detonated in advance without warning.

Austin suddenly realized that it was just a bureau to lure the prince to Xueli Xing, in order to let the news of the second cantilever break out unimpeded.

He thought he was the maker of the plan, but in fact, he was just a pawn laid by Alfred when he set up this game.

Maybe the little prince is more suitable for that position than he thought... Austin couldn't say whether the emotion that came out of him was fear or joy, maybe both.

He knocked on a window according to the agreed frequency, and soon, Alfred opened the window himself and let him climb in.

Austin took off his cloak, bowed and pressed his chest to salute: "Your Highness."

He was more reserved and respectful than usual, but Alfred didn't seem to care, he didn't even ask, he just sat back on the sofa by the fireplace, and said with the same attitude as usual: "Come here? Come and sit, drink Drink some wine to warm your body."

Austin noticed that he had a bottle of Kiss of Fire wine and two glasses on hand, but there was no celebration on his face.

"Is Your Highness unhappy?" Austin asked, pouring himself a glass.He didn't mention the fact that he was kept in the dark at all, and said as usual: "The plan is going well, why don't you even have a smiling face?"

"Lately I've always had a feeling... that something wasn't right," Alfred said.

He held the wine glass and shook it gently, the blood-red fire-kissed wine swayed in it, his light brown eyes showed no emotion.

"Austin, don't you think we've passed the past two years?"
