When he said this, the casualness and laziness just now had completely disappeared from Issos's face. When he tidied up all his expressions and straightened his expression, his sharp chin made him look like a horse showing his teeth secretly. Bad Wolf, "Raymond, knowing too many things you shouldn't know will do you no good."

"Oh, really? But I think it's very useful." The young man still had a slight smile in his tone, "At least I know that I'm starting to wonder why the two of us may have the same identity. Lieutenant Levi's and I The treatment is very different. Judging from his personality, he should have grown up in a normal family, and after he came to the empire, he was arranged by you to work independently in the army, instead of being ordered to find a breeder like me. Lord. To be so bold and confident in him, Mr. Issos, is not your usual cautious style. Or I can make a bolder guess: If I am only an incomplete sample, then There may be a complete individual sample, and this complete body that has cost you countless efforts is probably Second Lieutenant Levi. Then whose clone is the perfect body? I am really curious."

After talking about his almost whimsical ideas, Raymond was almost excitedly waiting for the reaction of the brigadier general, but at this time Issos just had no expression on his face.

Raymond didn't feel depressed just yet, a kind of nervous madness began to appear in his words.

"Don't talk? Are you trying to find someone to kill me? Or is your ideal killer Levi?"

"Hehe, I advise you not to think about it. You said before that you asked me to monitor his movements and execute him on the spot if he found any movement. Is it because he shows signs of rebellion? Oh, it seems that you have placed your trust in him. The high-hope test subjects didn’t bring too many surprises. If you really want to steal the royal family’s DNA, you might as well count on me to complete this task.”

"I have never been greedy, and I don't want anything else after I succeed. I just hope that you can send me a spaceship and let me go to a place that does not belong to the empire or the alliance, and no one knows me. Come and disturb me, let me live my life in peace like this."

From the beginning to the end, amid Raymond's venting ridicule and threats, Issos did not say a word, did not express any attitude of acknowledgment or denial, but after hearing his last words, the young brigadier held his elbows, Narrowing his eyes, "I just want this, really no other requirements?"

"I only ask for what is possible."

"If you can really do it, I can agree." Isos stroked the fallen forehead hair, and resumed his usual lazy look, "but about the content of our conversation today..."

"Of course I won't be stupid enough to tell Second Lieutenant Levi." Raymond said immediately.

"Then I wish you all the best."

"Thank you sir."

The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time, and turned their faces cold after turning off the holographic communication.

After standing in the same position for a few seconds, Issos turned to another person who was in the same room but had not participated in the conversation and asked, "What do you think?"

"Raimon's situation is unstable." It was a sonorous and powerful female voice, and even the voice contained the strength of gold and stone.

After saying this, a woman's figure slowly walked out from the shadow of the room.She was wearing a bright red dress on the upper body, black mini leather pants with frills underneath, dark lace stockings wrapped her slender legs, and a pair of black high heels on her feet.

She is about 35 years old, with charming and profound features, a light blue tear mole under her left eye, and big black curly hair hanging down to her waist.

This is an unforgettable sexy woman, and she is also the current supreme military officer of the alliance---Marshal Sophia.

"Ramon has always been in direct contact with him, so I am familiar with his personality." Issos continued to analyze Sophia's words, "Although what he is doing now seems to have lost his mind, according to me As far as I know about him, this person always only starts to act after careful consideration. In my opinion, the reason why he wants to kill Baron Parson is that he can no longer bear the life of a pet; We will not destroy it easily; thirdly, and most importantly, he must have doubted his identity from the moment he met Levi, so he found the opportunity to come to him. Because only after confirming that Levi Only after obtaining his identity can Raymond have a bargaining chip with us—he can choose to continue to work for us, or he can use the secrets he knows to persuade Levi to betray the alliance, not to mention that Levi has shown signs of instability."

Sophia curled her long hair with her slender fingers, and squinted at Isos with cat eyes painted with black gold eye shadow, "Commander, are you accusing me?"

"The subordinates dare not."

"That's right, I ordered Raymond to take the initiative to contact Levi. I know it's risky, but I don't think any of the highest military officials of the alliance will just watch the complete copy that has cost countless generations of scientists in the alliance. Such a loss. What's more, you also saw that Levi actually appeared in the public competition for the imperial crown prince to choose a concubine yesterday, and he didn't even report this to you before."

In front of the superior who holds the highest military power in the alliance, Issos did not show any obedience and respect. He did not add any modifiers when expressing his opinion, "It took a lot of effort? In my opinion, such a decision was wrong from the beginning. For more than 100 years, the alliance has invested endless manpower and financial resources, and what has been obtained in the end? What is the use of studying the DNA of the imperial royal family? Even if a complete copy can be obtained, what is the benefit to the alliance? Why do we have to treat the empire? Is the genetic map of the royal family so persistent?... I really don’t understand.”

"You don't need to understand, you just need to find what I want you to get." The "Queen" in the reality of the alliance patted the shoulder of the rarely excited subordinate, "But look at us fighting side by side for so many years For the sake of love, I can tell you one thing: 100 years ago, Alexander II, the third emperor of the empire, modified his genetic DNA, but he changed not only the blond gene that everyone knows, but Another mystery... Ha, that's the end of today's gossip time. By the way, you must pay attention to Levi's personal safety. Let me emphasize to you again: he is very important, so important that it is beyond your imagination, and it is definitely worth a generation Another generation of scientists has dedicated their lives. Unless sacrificing him can definitely exchange the DNA of the imperial crown prince, he should be evacuated to a safe place in time, even if it is a compulsory recovery... You know, the empire handles They never show mercy when it comes to our clones.”

The severe winter has come, and the snowflakes fluttering outside the window have been falling all night, rendering all the scenery into crystal clear silver white.

Under the control of a well-functioning temperature adjustment system, the inside and outside of the house were separated into two completely different worlds. At this time, Raymond was wrapped in a soft blanket, enjoying the hot coffee comfortably.

Sitting at the same table with him was a non-commissioned officer in a straight military uniform of the Empire. Although it was seven o'clock in the morning when the sky had just turned bright, there was no trace of sleepiness on his face, and he was stably wielding a knife The fork cuts the heated simple compressed food on the plate.

After being together for more than ten days, Raymond has already understood the rotten culinary skills of this seemingly decathlon officer, but he is used to a luxurious life and has no idea about the tasteless calorie supplements. interest, so he can only rely on the takeaways Levi brought back to satisfy his hunger every day.

"Second Lieutenant, I'm very surprised. You actually passed the culinary selection for the imperial prince's concubine. Is this the result of secretly bribing the judges?" At such times, Levi is usually silent.

Sure enough, like every time in the past, Raymond didn't get any response this time either.

Obviously, as a companion, the second lieutenant who was born in the military had neither good feelings nor malice towards the boy who suddenly appeared, and to a large extent just treated him as an object he had to take care of.Raymond didn't seem to mind his attitude. He seemed to be bored looking at the officer who was eating, but his brain was running fast.

The last call with Isos had already confirmed the identities of the two of them, but who is the clone of Levi, who is a complete copy, is a question worthy of deliberation. ──The officer with black hair and black eyes has no similarity with the images of the emperors preserved in the history of the empire.

Then, it means that the alliance has modified his appearance genes, and such changes have been made during the initial training.

In order not to be recognized by others?

Or, did he intend to send him to the empire from the beginning?

Even the incomplete replicas should be very precious, so why did the alliance send them to the crisis-ridden empire, and even arrange the precious Livi to the side of the imperial prince?

All kinds of questions cannot be explained by common sense.

After thinking for a while, Raymond took a sip of the coffee and let the bitter and cold liquid flow down his throat.

No matter what happens to the person in front of him, it has nothing to do with him.

While admonishing himself in this way, Raymond still couldn't help but said, "Second Lieutenant, Commander Issos once revealed a little information about you to me. I heard that you are the only son of the commander of the Vlad fleet. Yes. ?"

Faced with such a peaceful topic, Levi did not refuse to talk. He took a sip of the instant soup and replied briefly, "Yes."

"Did you live with the Commander and his wife since childhood?"

"Um."

"Are they... treating you well?"

Although he didn't quite understand the reason why the boy raised such a question, the serious officer answered truthfully, "Due to work, I can't see my father very often, but my mother has always loved me very much."

"What do they think of you coming to the empire?" The young man was still smiling, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Both of them disagreed, and my mother cried a lot because of this incident. I didn't listen to the advice, they must be very sad.

"Really?" Raymond's smile froze on his face, "They must love you very much, maybe...love you more than you imagined."

"They are my parents and I love them too."

The second lieutenant didn't notice anything unusual. He picked up the empty plate after the meal, walked into the kitchen and began to wash the tableware. He didn't see the distorted expression on the delicate face of the young man behind him.

Why? !

Why can he be so happy? !

Raymond felt that his heart was twisting and struggling.

They are all clones, why is this person's life so different from mine.

When he was injected with various experimental drugs, he was lying in the arms of his parents and acted like a baby; when he was forcibly anesthetized and sent to the empire, he was kept by his parents crying; During the incredible body transformation, he was able to continue his studies in the imperial military academy;

It seemed that he was always lingering in the darkness, but this person had been living in the bright sunshine with dignity and dignity.

Why? !

Simply because of the distinction between holonomic and nonholonomic.

So what if you destroy him?

Raymond bit his nails fiercely, until the sharp canine teeth penetrated into the flesh, biting every finger dripping with blood.

***

The arrival of winter has not affected people's enthusiasm for the crown prince selection contest. The second round of the small ball lottery process of the live broadcast of the universe still has a very high ratings. ─Ballroom dancing.

After witnessing such a result, Lieutenant Snow could only silently turn his face away. ──One dish can be prepared quickly, but dancing skills are by no means a one-day effort; eating dishes can be cheated, but what about live dance competitions?Do you want His Royal Highness Roger Hill to blindfold all viewers?

The prince who was sitting with Levi also frowned, his worried expression completely revealed his helpless thoughts.

"Your Highness, I have learned ballroom dancing." Looking at the worried-looking crown prince and lieutenant, Levi said hesitantly.

"what?!"

"Really?"

The other two exclaimed in unison.

"There was this course when the emperor came to the Royal Military Academy." The shocking reaction of the two made Levi explain with complicated emotions.

"As expected of a prestigious school second to none in the empire." Lieutenant Xue Nuo sincerely praised his alma mater.

The prince was more reserved, "Learning ballroom dancing has always been an excellent tradition at the Royal Military Academy."

But such praise only lasted a few minutes before Roger Hill took Levi to practice this skill.Objectively speaking, the second lieutenant's posture is correct, and all his body movements are also correct and elegant, but he is always weird when cooperating with the crown prince, either stepping on the other's toes, or colliding with his legs when he strode forward.

Fortunately, the prince had fully anticipated this situation from the very beginning, so during the conversation between the two "I'm sorry for stepping on you" and "Don't mind", an hour passed unknowingly.

"Your Highness, you and Second Lieutenant Levi should take a rest first." Xue Nuo resisted the impulse to support his forehead and suggested.

After being ravaged repeatedly by Levi's dance steps, he wondered if His Royal Highness's toes were swollen enough to shine.You know, not only Levy will dance alone tomorrow, the prince must also choose a partner and lead the first three dances.

Hearing this, Roger Hill stopped his movements, but he didn't let go of his arms around Levi's waist. He pulled the improperly coordinated second lieutenant a little closer with both hands. Wei saw that the prince seemed to be smiling.

"You're not used to jumping, are you?"

Although the second lieutenant tried his best to conceal it, the crown prince still saw the clue.

"Yes, yes." In a blushing and heartbeat, Levi admitted with some embarrassment.

"Then what do you do when you are studying dance courses in the military academy? The ratio of male to female in the military academy is ten to one. Not every dance class is so lucky to invite girls."

"fine……"

"Why are you okay?"

"Usually they invite me."

"Oh~~" Roger Hill let out a long drawn sound from his chest, as if he had turned back to the mischievous teenager when the two met for the first time, with a subtle sweet and sour tone Said, "It turns out that my guard officer is so popular, it's great..."

The prince's "nice" exclamation made Levy a little confused. He didn't know how to respond, so he had no choice but to show humility, "Your Highness is really popular, and your men's dance steps are really good."

"Really?" Such praise made the Crown Prince frown.

Levi immediately showed the greatest sincerity, "Of course."

"Actually, I'm not just a good dancer for men."

Roger Hill showed a dazzling smile, and Lieutenant Xue Nuo on the side finally put his hand on his aching forehead.He had already guessed what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might do. Facing the uproar and media hype that was about to be pushed, the diehard almighty Prince only felt that he was ten years older all of a sudden.

Although there has been enough anticipation of the events that will happen, when things actually come, they are still different from Jon Snow's expectations.

The hall is magnificent enough for hundreds of people to spin and dance. The crystal floor reflects the light of the huge chandelier on the top of the hall, making the whole scene as bright as day.Everyone, including male and female contestants, staff, and even journalists, all dressed up to attend, and the glittering brilliance of various diamond earrings, gemstone brooches, and pearl cufflinks was enough to hurt people's eyes.

Levi was standing in an inconspicuous corner watching the handsome men and women competing in the hall.

This scene reminded him of the dark moon dinner he attended more than half a year ago, and he felt the same as that time, such an occasion was always out of place for him.

Compared with the previous series of competitions, the number of [-] contestants has been reduced too much. In these strong hands, Levi found many familiar faces, such as Sa Keli, the initiator of the leopard print style. The countess, the beautiful young man who invited the prince to see the flowers, the youngest daughter of Count Palin's family who handed over a pink card, and Lieutenant Vincent who hadn't seen him for a long time.

The man with crimson eyes was wearing a fitted white dress embroidered with silver thread. This color made his silver-gray hair and dark brown skin more striking. In addition to his height of 1.9 meters, even if he was walking through the bustling crowd full of jewels Also very conspicuous.

The current Lieutenant Vincent really fits the aesthetic standards of His Highness the Crown Prince as interpreted by the media—"short hair, tall, and dark."

Levi's observing gaze made Vincent feel something. He turned his head and saw the second lieutenant standing behind a large potted plant. After a little hesitation, he walked over.

"Hello." Because he was not familiar with him, Levi just greeted him politely.

"Hello," Wen Sen nodded slightly. He looked up and down the apprentice of Emperor Lin for a while, and suddenly said, "Your dress is not bad, it must have cost a lot of money."

The dress on Levi's body at this time was only a safe black, without any shining decorations, but this set of clothes was superior in tailoring and texture, which could fully display the advantages of the second lieutenant's figure without appearing loud and ostentatious.

This Neixiu dress was chosen by the Crown Prince himself.

"I didn't expect to see you here."

While changing the subject, Levi felt a little emotional. Fortunately, he did not have too much expectation for this secret love, otherwise, facing these ubiquitous rivals in love, he would probably want to hide the prince and completely cut off these fanatical pursuits By.

"...didn't expect to see me?" Vincent seemed to understand this sentence differently, "Is this admiration for my ability, or is it lamenting that I have the courage to stand up for you?"

"I don't understand you."

"Isn't this concubine selection contest specially prepared for you?"

Startled, Levi felt a little suffocated in the confined space isolated by tall plants, "Lieutenant Vincent, I think you have misunderstood..."

"I saw it," Vincent interrupted him, and dropped the bombshell in an indifferent tone, "that day, you and Roger Hill came to practice at the fighting training ground, and His Highness asked me to turn off the surveillance, but I didn't Following his order, I watched the entire process of you being together alone, without missing any details."

"You?!" Levi looked at Vincent in shock, but found that he was still calm.

What happened at the fighting training ground that day was enough to make Levi unforgettable forever.He didn't mind that he was all seen, but as long as he thought that Roger Hill's performance had also fallen into the eyes of another person at that time, the surging anger would surge through every inch of his blood vessels, as if he had carefully collected The treasures of the world were stolen by despicable means.

"You shameless bastard!"

Levi punched Vincent on the cheek mercilessly. The excellent lieutenant did not dodge, staggered back and sat down on the ground.

The scene in the corner did not attract the attention of others. Vincent wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his forearm, and said before Levi's next punch, "I would rather not watch it." To that. His Royal Highness Roger Hill loves you, this is too obvious, so obvious that it is no longer possible for me to lie to myself, you are too lucky to be a guy. But I am here to participate in this competition to tell you that if you Either you also like His Highness or if you do something wrong to him in the future, I will definitely beat you so fat that no one can recognize you."

He supported the wall and stood up, then shook his fist, indicating that what he said just now was by no means a joke.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Vincent's words made Levi's limbs completely stiff. He felt that his face was twisting to cover up the suppressed hope in his heart, and he could only barely move the corners of his mouth. "What is the occasion now, I can't tolerate you nonsense."

Vincent didn't take it seriously, "You still want to lie to me? If it weren't for the real love object, I don't believe His Highness would do that. According to my understanding, if his self-esteem is compared to a mountain, it may have to have altitude More than 7000 meters... You don't have to make such a difficult appearance, I will keep everything secret, after all, today is just my mood, but you are really fucking lucky..."

He looked Levi up and down carefully, and commented mercilessly, "No matter how you look at it, it's very ordinary."

But now Levi can't hear his sarcasm at all, and only that sentence echoes in his mind-"If it is not the real love object, I don't believe that His Highness will do that."

Yes, it seems that some very important details have been overlooked in the relationship with the crown prince during this period of time.

He tried his best to get himself through round after round.

Let go of the reservedness of being a royal family and let yourself get unexpected surprises and happiness.

His gentle tone, the way he spoke with a smile, his sly eyes when he was playing pranks, his brows wrinkled because of worry... and the kisses exchanged under the dim night light.

Will it be?

Is there such a possibility?

Although I have fantasized countless times in dreams, I never dare to have such extravagant hopes in reality.

Moreover, the prince did not use himself to make any confession.

In the chaos of Levi, the noisy voices outside suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, and then there were bursts of exclamation and applause one after another.

The unusual atmosphere in the banquet made Vincent look out from the leaves of the potted plants. From the gap between his movements, Levi saw Roger Hill slowly walking down the spiral staircase under the gaze of everyone.

Roger Hill is also a rare dress to cater to the atmosphere of court ballroom dancing, but no matter what priceless accessories he has, the pure golden light of his fluffy long hair is enough to make people smile when he smiles. All the jewels of the world are eclipsed.

Among the crowd outside the stadium, some people were real people who saw the prince for the first time. This indescribable touch made some emotional ladies cry aloud, and some people suddenly fainted and were rushed out by the staff for rescue. .

Before the scene was about to get out of control, the chief referee of this competition reaffirmed the rules in time: the first three dances should be led by a partner chosen by the prince, and the other dancers and the following dances should be performed by everyone. Each song is limited to five dancers. Each participant is limited to one piece, and the order is determined by the number of the contestants, but the partner selected by the crown prince is not limited by the number.

The announcement of the rules made everyone quiet for a while. Some looked boldly at the crown prince, while others bowed their heads implicitly. But everyone was waiting for the hand he was about to extend—to invite the first lucky person Beloved of God.

Just as everyone was waiting anxiously and anxiously, Roger Hill hadn't made any moves yet, but a young man with black hair and black eyes in a black dress pushed aside the crowd and walked to the front. All kinds of eyes, bewildered, scrutinized, and annoyed walked up the steps step by step, and came to the crown prince.

Then he bent slightly, stretched out his right hand and extended an invitation to the prince who seemed to be in the clouds, "Your Highness, can I ask you to dance?"

There was a "buzz" in the crowd, and suddenly became quiet again.

Such a question made people's hearts rise to their throats in an instant, and the tsunami in countless people's hearts was raging violently, but the hall was as quiet as a tomb.

It seemed that only a moment passed, and it seemed that endless time passed. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Roger Hill held the slightly trembling hand and said in a voice that everyone could hear, "Thank you, this It's my honor. Since you invited me, let me do the female step."

As soon as the crown prince finished speaking, there was a suppressed exclamation from the crowd.

In the amazement of the people, the prince and the young man came to the center of the circular hall, and the gorgeous and romantic waltz sounded, and the two began to dance lightly.

As a kind of social dance, it is a common ballroom dance in the upper class of the empire, and the dance steps of men and women are very different.

In the teaching of etiquette teachers, it is usually expressed like this: a man must have a dignified and elegant posture, and his movements should be stretched and generous. Demeanor; while women have more swinging and twisting movements, which require higher flexibility of the body, so that it is convenient to show the graceful figure and charming temperament of women.

Although Roger Hill dances women's steps, every movement of his is just right. He abandons those fast and exaggerated twisting movements and replaces them with passionate and dynamic rotations and jumps.

The two men who became temporary partners have a very tacit understanding. Compared with the male and female dances, the men often take care of the women's lifts, swings and other movements. The two men who are also men are obviously more coordinated in terms of strength and height.With their brisk footsteps and energetic dancing postures, they rendered a whirling dance between two men.

The music continued to rise and fall, and gradually reached a climax. The two were like two chasing birds telling each other their lingering and passionate admiration.

With the passage of time, and among people's whispers, many people have recognized this man who is dancing with the crown prince and is so bold as Meng Lang. One of the guards.With such a special identity, various speculations began to grow slowly.

But the two who were dancing together at this time did not pay attention, they only had each other in their eyes.

All the crowd and sight have been blurred, completely becoming the background of this dance.

The joy and touch of falling in love can no longer be suppressed, and it is revealed from their clear brows, and naturally emerges from their cuddling figures.Love seems to be the winter jasmine that is urged to bloom by the spring breeze, and it seems to be the water lily that reveals its fragrance under the comfort of the sun. It blooms so gorgeously in this whirling dance tonight.

The little stars in Roger Hill's eyes are encouragement and joy; but Levi's heart is full of uncontrollable excitement.

After hearing Wen Sen's words, he couldn't bear it anymore and approached him proactively, and what he got was the prince's clasped hands.

Obviously the previous plan was not to be so eye-catching, and Roger Hill would take action in the third song, but Levi broke this expectation.

Can it really be expected?

Can you look forward to it?

During the whirling dance over and over again, the second lieutenant asked himself again and again.

Is it really possible for this unattainable person to love herself?

He thought it must be because the lights tonight were too dazzling or the passionate dance made him a little dizzy, otherwise, why would his eye sockets gradually become moist and his eyes gradually blur?How could one see such naked and visible love in the crown prince's icy blue eyes?
