nebula story

no no!He must no longer be affected by this person. He can no longer show that weak and pathetic mood swing in front of his subjects and enemies!

"How stupid must you be to come up with such a despicable line?" He said word by word, using the greatest restraint to let his face show obvious disgust, "Reserve a little dignity for yourself , don't make me despise you."

The smile on Chesu's lips never faded away.Even after hearing such humiliation, he still stood there, with the tenderness and tenacity in the corners of his eyes and brows that Fern hated more and more the more he watched.

"Your Highness, I said this...not to defend myself." In his eyes, there was something that Fern couldn't understand. The expression was so complicated, it seemed that there was an inseparable attachment, and it seemed that there was a little distress.

Yes, that seemed to be...feeling for Fern.

I want you to know that you have not been ruthlessly abandoned by others; I want you to know that the people you have been gentle with have rewarded you with the greatest persistence.

When I don't remember you anymore, please don't be so angry and sad, thinking that your sincerity has been abandoned...

Turning around alone, Chesu raised his feet and walked towards the imperial ship not far away.Beside him, Wood was in a daze, and hurriedly led the guards along.

After walking a dozen steps, Chesu stopped again and looked at the red-haired soldier standing quietly beside the mecha.

"Zion..." He greeted with a smile, with sincere comfort in his eyes, "I didn't expect...it's great to see you again."

Looking at him with weird eyes, Zion was speechless.

"Is Oulian okay?" Chesu looked up at the dozens of mechas that came back at the same time, trying to find the big man with few words, "Is he over there too?"

After a while of silence, Zion looked at him calmly: "Retired. His left arm was amputated and he can no longer drive mechas." The heartless smile he used to have disappeared without a trace, and he looked directly at Che Su, "He is the same as you. In a battle, he left me the only escape pod and was seriously injured."

"Ah..." Chesu was speechless, seeing Oulian's tall and sturdy figure and that silly smile in front of his eyes, and his heart ached.

"Oh, no." A trace of unforgivable hatred finally appeared on Zion's face, "He is different from you. He really wants to save his comrades, while you——are acting."

Standing silently, Chesu didn't make any excuses.He seemed unable to respond, and felt guilty and speechless.

After a while, his gaze passed through Zion and landed on the dark black mech beside him.That was the mecha that Zion and Fern had just ridden on, and the chest door was still wide open at this moment.Looking up to the past, on the instrument panel that has not been completely closed, the few remaining indicator lights are still flashing lightly and regularly.

Representing the highest level of the empire's air combat mecha, it has been continuously adjusted in the battle, and it must have been greatly improved than when he left.The murderous streamlined shape simulates the limb structure of the human body, and there are rows of beautiful buttons and control devices in the chest cavity.

……

Staring at the mecha stupidly, Chesu's feet seemed to have taken root.Suddenly stretching out his hand, he grabbed the gangway of that mech with all his strength!

Even though the frightened royal guards tightened their handcuffs desperately, he suddenly turned his head, and his dejected eyes gradually regained some radiance and light, just like a person who is about to drown in the bottom of the sea, and suddenly saw a glimmer of light above his head in front of his eyes. .

"Your Highness, I never begged you for anything, right?" He looked at Fern earnestly and pleadingly, as if he didn't remember at all that he was a cold-blooded emperor who hated him to the extreme and could brutally execute him at any time.

Looking at his sudden move coldly, Fern didn't respond.

Yes, he remembered it all too well.The young man in front of him, from the first time he saw him, never asked him for anything, whether it was being flogged in the arena for thousands of people, or being locked up in the royal prison and threatened with execution.

"Your Highness, there is one last thing I want to ask of you." Chesu's voice was different from the indifferent one just now, with something that Fern always couldn't understand, full of brilliance, with a halo as beautiful as stars, "Let me... go up and touch this mech."

Looking at him in astonishment, Wood was a little bit indignant like ironic.Is he crazy?How can this be!

Just after the exchange of prisoners of war over there, he actually wanted to drive the mecha again to fight like a cornered beast?Was he stupid enough to think that making such a ridiculous request would be allowed? !

Without waiting for any permission or refusal from Fern, the boy by the gangway had a hint of confusion in his eyes.It seemed that he had finally figured out something, and there was a look of apology on his handsome face.

"Your Highness...Are you afraid that I will run away in the mecha?" He said sadly, his voice became softer, "No...I won't."

Staring blankly at Fern, he seemed a little confused, and repeated again: "I won't. Your Highness... Please."

Although it sounded like such a weak guarantee, even so absurd that it was almost nonsensical, Wood beside him felt an extremely strange feeling inexplicably.

It seemed that there was honesty and magnanimity in that ridiculous and even a little humble plea, just like his clear and beautiful eyes, without any impurities, it seemed that there was really no pretense and deceit.

...Standing in the harsh wind, Fern stared at Chesu speechlessly.The people around held their breaths, anxiously waiting for the emperor's categorical rejection.

In that absolute silence, the young emperor of the empire finally spoke slowly: "Okay, I agree."

The head of the guard, Wood, was taken aback suddenly, almost suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.His Majesty the Emperor...has his heart suddenly softened at last?Give Chesu one last mercy and kindness before executing him?

Hesitating, he gestured helplessly, telling his subordinates to let go of Chesu.

His eyes lit up suddenly, and a heartfelt smile appeared on Chesu's face. He deftly took a few steps and climbed up to the middle of the gangway.Still wearing the shackles on his hands, his climbing was a little inconvenient.

The figure slowly stopped, Chesu turned his head, and looked at Fern who was a few steps away.

On his thin face that was crystal clear like jade, a shy and gentle smile bloomed, and he gently stretched out his hand. He invited his former partner and now the king: "Your Highness... come with me."

His Majesty Fern, who stood with his hands behind his back among the royal guards, looked majestic and cold, but for some reason, in Wood's eyes, he seemed to be covered with a heavy and oppressive sense of loneliness.

Staring at the federal spy who stubbornly stretched out his hands to him, the hostility in the corners of Fern's eyes and brows had dissipated at some point, replaced by a fleeting moment of bewilderment.

In my mind, several similar scenes suddenly surfaced quietly at this moment of tension, and they seemed to have a little bit of amorous feelings, a little bit of sad romance.

On the imperial palace's private mecha training ground, the young man stood tall, bathed in the faint golden sunlight, turned around and looked at him, silently waiting for him to come to test drive for the first time as a partner.

On a dark night, I once stood on the gangway like this, stretched out my hand, and seductively invited him to fly the plane for the last time, trying to save the rift between them.

... As if he had been captivated by those phantom-like charms, he silently stared at Chesu and walked forward.

Reaching out to take Chesu's shackled hand, he suddenly jumped up and took Chesu up to the mech that Zion had just driven together!

Before anyone could respond in a timely and effective manner, the chest hatch of the mecha was slowly closed, and His Majesty Fern and the federal spy disappeared in front of everyone.

……

All the guards, all the imperial officers who were waiting not far away were in chaos!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Leaping forward, the head of the guard, Wood, slammed the leg of the mecha violently, almost fainting from fright, "Dangerous! Please come out, don't act casually!"

God!What kind of Gu technique did that Chesu use so that His Majesty Fern is still easily manipulated even now!Although he did a simple body search when he rushed over to grab it, but in case he planted some terrible human bombs inside his body...

Drenched in cold sweat, the head of the guard, Wood, dared not think about it anymore!

The chief of staff on the front line of the empire also yelled in a low voice: "Marshal, quickly connect to the communication of that mecha! Make sure His Majesty the Emperor comes out quickly! What... that mecha actively cut off any communication frequency band?!"

Just as the ground was shaking in a panic, the huge black two-person mecha suddenly let out a roar.

Staring blankly at the slightly trembling body, Zion reacted first: It...it's going to start!

As if to verify his conjecture, without giving anyone time to stop it, a scorching air flow spewed out from the exhaust pipe of the huge and mighty two-person mecha, instantly fascinated the guards around.

The wind suddenly picked up, the engine roared, and with a simple run-up, the mecha proudly started, and it flew straight and obliquely in an instant. Under the stunned gaze of countless federal soldiers and imperial soldiers, it rushed into the dark starry sky of Fisher Star!

……

In the quiet airtight mecha, only the regular lights of various colors on the instrument panel flickered slightly, and occasionally there were a few crisp reminders.

Sitting quietly on his machine repair seat, Chesu stared intently at the familiar console in front of him.The hands that were still handcuffed touched it, gently drawing an unconscious lingering line.

After activating the assisted flight mode on his side, he turned his head apologetically, and smiled at the emperor with a strange expression beside him.

"Thank you, Your Highness." He smiled, his face was peaceful, and his crystal face was full of joy and joy, "Let me fly for a while, and I will give you back the pilot right soon."

Staring at him coldly, Fern was noncommittal.Huge regret suddenly rose up, biting his heart.He must be crazy, must be!That's why I was bewitched by this person again and again, and even forgot the original intention of coming here!

Without looking at him again, Chesu used his inconvenient hands to control the mecha, still familiar with it.He quickly found the damage that Zion hadn't had a chance to repair in the previous battle, and he concentrated on repairing while programming.

The crisp sound of keystrokes, the mechanical sound of the repair arm moving, and the slight breathing of the two people... everything can be clearly heard in the not-so-large mecha chest.

Staring at Chesu's two little fingers that were always raised, Fern's sharp and cold gaze finally focused on the slightly thick bone callus.

"Your two fingers are disabled." He said lightly, pointing out the obvious fact.

With a slight smile, Chesu nodded: "Yes. But...it's nothing."

Suppressing the urge to ask why, Fern looked at Chesu's indifferent expression, and suddenly there was an evil anger burning in his heart.

From the moment he got on the plane to now, Chesu's eyes had been fixed on those keyboards and instruments, but he didn't pay much attention to him, as if he didn't remember that the person sitting next to him was a person who could decide his life or death!

Maliciousness emerged, and he suddenly sneered: "Yeah, it's really nothing. You won't have a chance to use your fingers again in the future."

He will kill him with the cruelest punishment, wash away the humiliation and deceit imposed on him by this federal spy, wash away those cheap, false tender memories with scarlet blood.

He will do it, he swears!

Chesu beside him paused in confusion, as if frightened by his threat, and the programming input of his subordinates was a bit stagnant.

Shaking his head vigorously, he seemed to be concentrating on something, his clear eyes were a little dull.

"Your Highness, where is Senior Lance?" He asked in a low voice, his confused eyes soft and hazy, "Did he... not come today?"

"I have no heirs yet, and he is the first heir to the throne." Fern said coldly.

"Ah..." Looking at him blankly, Chesu didn't seem to understand.

Looking at him sarcastically, Fern's eyes shot a sharp cold light: "The iron law of the royal family, we will never appear in the same dangerous place. Even if this place is not dangerous, he will never want to see you."

"Why?" Chesu asked blankly.

"He said that he was afraid that the first moment he saw you, he would pull out a gun and blow your head off to avenge Fan Zhong." Fern stared at him, and the flames in his heart burned his mind even more.

"Ah..." Chesu frowned slightly, as if he couldn't figure it out even more, "Why did you kill me to avenge Captain Fan Zhong?"

Staring at him, Fern's heart was suddenly filled with disgust and great anger.

He shouldn't have come up, he shouldn't have listened to any of this man's nonsense.If the arrogance with which he raised the gun just now and the calm smile could still give him a sliver of respect, then... what's the point of this obvious pretending to be crazy now!

"Ah, I really want to see Senior Lance for the last time...thank you for taking care of him before." Finally, Chesu stopped worrying about that question and turned around to deal with the procedure in front of him again.

"There is also Master Andy...and Professor Saar." He was talking to himself, and the input of his subordinates was getting slower and slower, as if he couldn't be distracted, "Well, who else is Z...ah, By the way, there are also Aisha maids in your palace, Boss Viser is in charge of them."

Staring into the distance, he fell into a brief, strange daze.

"Ah, that's not right... The formula for judging the multi-dimensional space structure needs to be revised. Z has to discuss it with Professor Saar... Aunt Shanli must be very happy to see me go back." He spoke strange and confused words , while staring at the keys in front of him, he raised his hand to press a special maintenance start key, but Z hesitated a little.

His delicate brows were tightly furrowed, and he pressed them hesitantly for a long time.

Seeing the familiar repair prompt light finally flashing, he let out a long sigh of relief, raised his handcuffed wrists, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with difficulty.

But for a moment, it seemed that he had exhausted all his mental strength.

Looking at his actions with cold eyes, Fern somehow felt an extremely weird discomfort in his heart.Chesu's eyes no longer had the agility and depth that he had just now, and his movements seemed too rigid, and he became more and more hesitant.

"Chesu, you..." He finally frowned and stared into Chesu's eyes.

"Ah...Your Highness." Turning to look at him, Chesu's eyes were filled with something that he couldn't understand but that shocked him.

Laughing awkwardly, Chesu stared at him, and said softly: "I repaired your mecha, this is the last time."

Still feeling a little guilty, the corner of his mouth showed a bit of shame and anxiety: "But my mind is a little confused, maybe I will miss something, Z, remember to call——"

Suddenly, he frowned tightly on his beautiful slender eyebrows. He seemed to think for a long time before he hesitated to say a name: "Ah, yes, Xion...you can ask Xion to check it for you."

"Zion. It's not Xion." Correcting him coldly, Fern almost wanted to slap him across the face, so as to wake up Chesu's annoying and distracted mind.

"Ah? Who are you talking about?" Chesu asked blankly.

In the quiet cabin, a strange silence permeates every inch of space.Staring at Fern who was showing strange doubts beside him, Chesu bit the tip of his tongue with difficulty.

The stinging pain invaded, the blood flowed, and there was a moment of sobriety.

It wasn't until Chesu spoke again that there was a faint, gentle ripple in the stagnant air.

"Your Highness, I know that I am not qualified to ask you any more. But... I still want to beg you. When you kill me... can you not execute the punishment publicly." His eyes suddenly became clearer than before, and he brought his eyes back. A little bit of the agility and simplicity of the old days, but there are also humble pleadings that are rarely seen in the past.

"It's not too late to know how to be afraid now?" Fern sneered, his eyes were full of ice and snow, and his heart was full of magma.

Shaking his head slightly, Chesu said in a low voice, "I'm not afraid. But my mother, sister, and grandfather, if they see the video... will be very sad."

"As for me, Your Highness, you can deal with it as you like." He lowered his head, without looking at the cruel man in front of him again, "It's fine whether you cut me into pieces or quarter my body. Anyway, I won't... feel any more pain."

It's true, he did take painkillers.Fern sneered in his heart, but for some reason, at the same time, he was surrounded by a huge anxiety and anxiety, which made him suddenly unable to breathe.

"Your Highness, if I don't remember you anymore... please don't be angry." Chesu murmured, uttering strange and inconsistent words, "But... when I was in the Federation, I often thought of you .”

There was no word from Fern, so his words similar to talking to himself could only float sadly in the cabin, as if he was eager to beg for mercy.

Sitting quietly on his machine repair seat, Chesu stared at the distant night sky, staring at the stars and clouds all over the sky.

"Your Highness...Look." He said softly, his eyes were as soft as a bend of clear spring water, reflecting the glimmer of light on the instrument panel in front of him, as well as the stars in the cold sky in the distance, "The nebula here, So like Rensselaer."

Fern didn't answer the conversation, and couldn't understand Chesu's jumping theme at all. Fern silently looked at the cold and quiet night sky.

Thousands of meters above the sky, he should be closer to those stars, but the eyes of the young man beside him, which used to be as dazzling as stars, finally gradually dimmed.

The moment the starlight in his eyes went out, the sky of Fisher's star was cold with stars and moon, and layers of shocking clouds suddenly surged.
