nebula story

The captain of the Royal Guard, Wood, was a little worried.

Ever since I handed over the investigation report to the desk of His Highness the Crown Prince, for some reason, I felt a little uneasy.According to His Royal Highness Fern's request, the investigation report on Corporal Chesu's persecution and abuse was so detailed that Colonel Vesta probably felt guilty and explained all the details very clearly.

Uh... I just don't know if it's a little too clear.

For example, the sentences written in detail in the report: Ball and Lieutenant Lu Mo broke into Chesu’s room for several nights together, how long the abuse lasted each night, and the specific methods of bullying and humiliation... That’s all, that’s all. Even the details of how Li Cha and the others bullied Chesu were written in detail.

Yes, even though the word "delicately detailed" may not seem appropriate, when Master Wood saw the report, it was the word that immediately came to mind in his mind!

Look, even Li Cha and Alan are very clear about how many times Master Chesu has washed their clothes, including how many coats of military uniforms, how many pieces of underwear, etc...

Taking a peek at His Highness Fern's increasingly cold eyes, Wood stood aside with his eyes and nose looking at his heart.really!Although the appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not changed much, from the sharp drop in temperature around him, Wood can clearly feel the low air pressure all over the body of the noble and cold Crown Prince at this moment.

With a "snap", His Royal Highness Fern slammed the report file on the desk coldly, with a cold light in his ice blue eyes.

"Get me the special line for the special training camp, Colonel Vesta." He said slowly, as if he had used a lot of effort to hold back his emotions.

"Yes!" Quickly helped him connect to the dedicated communication line of the palace, and the head of the guard, Wood, carefully opened the video screen.A thin curtain of clear light appeared on the wall of the study, and Colonel Vesta's serious wheat-colored face appeared on the screen.

After a standard military salute, he said respectfully, "Hello, Your Highness!"

His face was frozen, and His Royal Highness Fern's thick eyebrows condensed into swords: "I just want to say one thing."

"Your Highness, please order!"

"Since the results of the interrogation of the two principal criminals have been released, please inform the court of the military department and punish them severely and quickly. Whoever dares to secretly exonerate them will be held accountable to the end! Also, the other team members must not Appeasement, anyone who participates in bullying his comrades in arms will be severely punished! Especially the one named Li Cha—" He looked at the words on the case file with disgust on his face, "Especially the heinous crime, please be severely punished."

+ + + + +

Wood looked at Colonel Vesta on the screen expressionlessly, and his heart turned up and down: Your Highness, are you sure you are "one sentence", and there is... Student Li Cha's biggest sin, it seems Just ask Chesu to help them wash their underwear?

Staring in astonishment, Colonel Vesta obviously had the same question: "Your Highness? Have you misunderstood something? Second Lieutenant Richard is just—"

"But what? One leaf can tell the autumn, and every action can reflect a person's character. Colonel, don't you feel ashamed that there are such dirty, disgusting, despicable, and despicable people in the elite mechanics of the empire? "His Royal Highness Fern's angry words were clear and stern when he asked harshly again and again.

There was no reaction for a while, and Colonel Vesta wanted to continue to refute, but he was stopped by Wood's demeanor——Standing behind His Royal Highness, the head of the guard, Wood, winked desperately, winked, and quietly waved his hands .

Nodding reluctantly, Colonel Vesta raised his hand in salute: "Yes, Your Highness."

+ + + + +

Staring at the blacked-out video, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the clock, finally looked up at Wood, and said in a deep voice, "You've had a hard day too, go down."

Seeing the subordinates in the center retreating lightly, Fern relaxed slightly, and leaned on the large chair alone with the remaining anger still, reviewing today's report from the Imperial Army.

For some reason, I feel extremely bad today.Seeing that the clock pointed to eleven o'clock, he put down the pile of files, stood up with a frown, and walked out the door of the study.

Walking along the quiet corridor on the second floor, he walked lightly and carefully walked into his original master bedroom.The door is closed.

After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and tried to push it lightly, and it opened silently.

In the dark room, it was quiet. The little master who temporarily lived in this room had obviously fallen asleep, and seemed very sweet.

The corner of his mouth moved slightly, and Fern closed the door carefully.

Waving to the court maid on duty in the distance, he asked softly, "How is he today?"

"Your Highness, Master Chesu is very obedient. He works and rests strictly according to the time you stipulated every night, and also takes the medicine strictly according to the doctor's orders." Seemingly hesitating for a while, the young maid hesitated, "But..."

His eyebrows frowned, His Royal Highness Fern did not speak, his majestic eyes were full of pressure.

Seeing this look, the little maid was so frightened that she quickly told the whole story: "It's just that Master Chesu is a little lazy and didn't exercise properly according to the doctor's instructions... The doctor said that recovering from a serious illness is not about lying on the bed every day, but about staying in bed every day." You should go out for a walk or exercise your muscles."

"He stays on the bed every day?" Fern's face was unhappy, "Could it be that he's lying on the bed for 24 hours?"

"No..." Looking at him timidly, the little maid didn't dare to hide it, "Master Chesu has a lot of books and reads in bed every day..."

Standing there stiffly, Fern's face became more and more annoyed.Walking away, he turned and went back to the study.It was late at night when he was reading the case file in the study alone, so he got up again in a state of anxiety.

Passing by the master bedroom where Chesu was huddled, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door again, but was suddenly taken aback!

On the spacious big bed, a black mass bulged out, revealing a faint light inside!what is that! ?

Reach out and press the antique wall lamp on the wall, and the gentle light instantly fills the simple and exquisite master bedroom.Walking over, Fern walked into the bed full of doubts.

Throwing off the bulging quilt suddenly, Chesu's flustered face was revealed, staring blankly at him...

Seeing the clothes that were vaguely exposed on his outstretched arms, Fern's face sank, he reached out and grabbed the corner of the quilt, and threw it off!

"Gululu", a flashlight rolled to the side of the bed, the bright light tube flickered a few times, a thick book was opened and exposed to the light.Sure enough, she didn't take off her clothes to go to bed at all, Chesu was hiding neatly under the quilt, secretly reading a book!

With a face full of astonishment, Fern looked at the embarrassed Chesu, speechless for a while.

"You, you actually gave me..." Squeezing out a few words between his teeth, Fern finally figured out something, and his face was about to contort.Knowing that he would often stop by at eleven o'clock to have a look, he actually pretended to fall asleep every time he set the time, and then sneaked under the covers with a flashlight to watch after a while! ?

It's already one o'clock in the morning, if he joins without being discovered by himself, does he want to see the early morning all the time?No wonder the maid and the doctor are dissatisfied, they simply want to ruin the body again alive!

Stealing a peek at him, Chesu sat up, a little uneasiness appeared in his dark eyes.Quietly closing the thick book, he quietly stuffed it under the quilt.

Without stopping him, Fern just stared at his every move coldly, suddenly let out a cold snort from his nose, flicked his sleeve angrily, turned and left!

Making a face behind his back, Chesu heaved a long sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, this highness who is as domineering as an iceberg didn't take away his book, it's really lucky!"

But, who would have thought that His Majesty had the symptoms of nocturnal excursions, and couldn't sleep well in the middle of the night, so he came to check him up?Alas, I already hid him under the bed and played the flashlight, what else do I need from him?

But... Although His Highness didn't attack immediately, why is he always a little uneasy?Still not daring to continue to challenge Fern's bottom line, he obediently put away the book, yawned sweetly, and finally fell asleep.

+ + + + +

With a face that was colder than an iceberg, His Highness Fern was sitting at the dining table early in the morning, eating breakfast in silence.Picking up the beautifully patterned napkin and wiping the corners of his mouth, he raised his eyes to look at Old Manager Viser, who was standing with his hands down.

"I heard that the one I brought back..." After annoyed pause, Fern suddenly realized that he didn't know how to address Chesu, "That patient is sitting on the bed every day and panicking?"

"Well, Master Chesu is a bit weak, so he prefers to stay on the bed." Boss Viser replied.

"Did the doctor say that?" Fern reprimanded coldly.

Frowning, Boss Viser replied staidly: "Reporting to Your Highness, I have persuaded Master Chesu, but he is a guest after all, and it is not easy for the people below to force him out of bed and throw away the books."

Looking at him sternly, Fern was extremely annoyed: "What young master! He's just a pariah. He's not sensible, so you follow..."

After a pause, he followed the gazes of Manager Viser and Wood, and turned his head behind him.

Slowly walking down the stairs quietly, Chesu, with his head down, looked a little pale, slipped out from the corner of the hall, and disappeared in the direction of the kitchen.

As if blocked by something in his heart, Fern sat there without saying a word.

I don't know what he was thinking, but suddenly, he raised his head coldly, not only did he not show any softening and guilt, but he even became more stern: "My lord, you can't keep idle people in the palace. From today on, he will work like everyone else."

Gritting his teeth, he sneered: "If you dare to lie on the bed for me, you can watch him yourself!"

"But, what should Master Chesu do?" The boss asked persistently, "All the work is done by a dedicated person, and there is never any redundant errands in your palace."

"Then just do the laundry." Gritting his teeth and uttering this sentence, Fern sneered, "He is very familiar with this."

+ + + + +

At exactly eleven o'clock, Fern pushed open the door of the master bedroom again.Hey, not only was it pitch-black, but even the quilt was vaguely flat, and no one slept in it at all.

How dare you confront him directly?How courageous you are!

"Where is he? The study?" Fern only felt that his whole body was going to burst into flames.

"Report Your Highness, Chesu...is, in the laundry room at the back." Aisha's eyes turned red, and she replied in a low voice.Hearing Fern's anger in the morning, she didn't dare to call Chesu "young master" anymore.

His Highness said, he is just a pariah.

The whole person was stunned, and Fern was stunned: "It's so late, what are you doing there?"

"Your Highness, when you left the palace in the morning, you told him to do the laundry. Four people were responsible for the laundry in the palace, but now he does it alone..." Aisha was about to cry, but she didn't dare, so she had to hold back With tears in his eyes, "After breakfast, the chief manager stopped the work of those few people. No, they haven't finished washing until now."

Standing in a daze, Fern suddenly asked angrily: "Where is Manager Viser, tell him to come see me!"

"Your Highness, you ordered him to watch Chesu work in person. He...he is also in the laundry room." Aisha bowed and was about to leave, "I will invite the chief manager right now, servant!"

"No need, I'll go by myself." Fern strode towards the apse, leaving Aisha trotting far behind.

Standing in front of the brightly lit door of the laundry room, Fern's straight figure was like a handsome snow mountain.

Boss Viser was sitting on a chair at one side, and Chesu's thin figure was sitting beside a small stool, struggling to scrub the clothes full of clothes by the huge laundry tub, with snow-white foam all over her thin wrists.It seemed that they were talking while doing laundry, and the boss had a smile on his always rigid face.

Hearing the movement behind them, the old and the young turned their heads at the same time.

Standing up respectfully, the smile on Viser's face disappeared, and he bowed slightly: "Your Highness?"

Shaking off the foam on his hands, Chesu also stood up, bowed deeply in silence, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness."

With a sullen face, Fern stepped forward and looked at the water basin that was not steaming at all: "Go back to sleep."

Without moving, Chesu remained silent, and said after a while, "I'll go to sleep after I finish washing the last few things."

"Your Majesty, the washing will indeed be finished soon." The boss said slowly, as if adding fuel to the fire, "Please let him finish it."

Choked speechless by these words, Fern's face turned ashen.

"Aren't there washing machines in the palace?" he asked angrily. "This is inefficient, don't you all want to change clothes?"

Manager Visser said slowly: "These clothes are all delicate fabrics that need to be washed by hand, especially underwear. How can they all be machine washed? Please rest assured, Your Highness. If you think he has done too much, I will personally ask him to leave in the early morning tomorrow." got up."

morning!Feeling terrified, Fern stood there dumbfounded.

"Forget it today." He said angrily, "...You have worked hard, Mr. Manager, go to rest early."

With an unusually serious face, the boss insisted: "Your Highness, this is not allowed! You are right, you can't encourage the atmosphere of raising idlers in the palace."

Turning around, he told Chesu, "Keep washing, don't stop."

With a cry of "Oh", Chesu lowered his head, sat silently on the small stool, and stopped looking at the noble Crown Prince, pursing his blood-colored lips, he carefully washed the clothes in his hands.

This is where he should be, and this is what he should do.

Chesu, oh Chesu, don't be dazzled by those illusory, strange treatment that was like a bubble, so that you forget your identity!

Staying in bed all day long besides eating and reading, there are a lot of people rushing to serve you, do you really think you are some kind of "young master"?You are more or less a pig!

Smiling wryly, he was a little distracted... His wrist tightened, and his whole body was pulled up by a powerful hand!

Staggering, Chesu was pulled out of the laundry room by Fern with her hands full of foam.

His Highness Fern stopped suddenly, as if thinking of something, he looked back at the innocent looking boss coldly: "I said in the morning, ask him to wash my clothes alone, you are old and deaf, did you hear me wrong? "

Without giving the boss any chance to refute, he said in a cold tone, "Boss Viser, I think you need to review, whether you are too harsh on the servants, and you don't have any empathy."

...Looking at the background where His Highness the Crown Prince forcibly dragged a little pariah away, for some reason, a vague smile appeared on the corner of the boss's mouth.

Looking sideways at the old fox-like old manager Visser, the head of the bodyguard Wood leaned over in a low voice: "Mr. Manager, you didn't really ask Chesu to wash clothes for a whole day, did you?"

With a serious face, the boss recovered his composure: "It's a joke, Your Highness is confused, am I really too confused? Asking a sick person to run in cold water for a day, this kind of thing, even the benevolent emperor would not see it." would be angry."

Looking at him speechlessly, the corners of Wood's mouth twitched a few times. This old fox with ulterior motives did it on purpose, he must have done it on purpose! "Why are you still asking him to stay here! Don't you know that His Highness will definitely be angry?"

The old manager smiled inscrutably, and didn't answer any more.

+ + + + +

"Put the water in the bathtub at a higher temperature." He briefly instructed the maids, His Highness Fern's face was cold, he tightly clenched Chesu's wrist, and pushed him into the steaming luxurious bathroom.

Staring at him wordlessly, Chesu pursed his lips.There is nothing wrong with taking a shower, but why does it feel so bad to be forced!

"You're not allowed to come out until you soak for half an hour." Gritting his teeth, Fern stood in front of the bathroom door, his blue eyes filled with expressions that Chesu couldn't understand, "Didn't you hear me?"

Lowering his head, Chesu stared at his toes.

"Your Highness, please go out." Although his voice was a little soft, it was clear, "Even a pariah...wouldn't be used to being naked in front of anyone."

Shocked slightly, Fern stared at his respectful but distant face, with endless regret and loss in his heart.

Untouchables... The words I said unintentionally in the morning still hurt him.But so what?Could it be that just because of his unintentional words, this little pariah boy in front of him is going to give him, the most honorable heir to the throne, a face?

The most important point is, what is he angry about? Can't this guy with a head like an elm lump not see it at all?

Feeling angry, he suddenly turned around and strode out of the bedroom!

After enduring and enduring, he finally stood still in front of the door. He looked at Aisha, the maid with red eyes all the time, with a blank face: "Keep an eye on him at night, and pay attention to see if he has a fever or anything. If he does, call him immediately. The chief medical officer of the palace is here, don't delay."

damn it!Obviously just recovered from pneumonia, not to mention staying up late every day, dare to soak in cold water for a whole day today!Thinking of the temperatureless water waves in the huge laundry tub, Fern felt restless.

...If the patient's pneumonia is induced again, Director Viser should retire and return home!

+ + + + +

"Huh? What?" Chesu's eyes widened, and he was completely confused as he watched the formation lined up in the laundry room.

Covering her mouth and laughing lightly, little Aisha ran over courteously and led him to sit on the exaggerated soft sofa: "Master Chesu, just sit here and wash slowly!"

Surrounded by soothing music, a brand-new hot water pipe is placed next to the laundry tub, steaming and floating on the water.Three or four maids stood aside, some with laundry soap in their hands, some with water glasses ready to be served at any time, and some with a pastry tray full of pastries?

"Aisha..." Chesu stared blankly at the familiar maid sister, and suddenly realized, "Is it possible that His Highness will come to check again soon, so you are waiting in advance?"

There was a cough, and the manager Viser paced over: "Master Chesu, Your Highness has spoken again today, asking you to continue to get out of bed and move around, and you are absolutely not allowed to lie on the bed waiting to eat or drink. Besides—" He had a lot of meaning Authentically, "Your Highness said again that the imperial palace cannot support idlers. Of course the previous laundrymen cannot be idle. You just need to be responsible for washing his clothes alone."

So what?Chesu continued to stare blankly at the manager.

"Then His Majesty also reprimanded me, saying that the imperial palace should not be too harsh on servants. Even if you want people to do things, you must improve the conditions." Looking around, the boss seemed quite satisfied, "Well, yes, so It’s not too bad. You guys look at the time, Master Chesu has been working for half an hour, remember to tell him to stop and go back to his room to rest. After taking a nap at noon, first bask in the sun and come back after afternoon tea. Uh... The imperial palace cannot support idlers, remember to watch him work for half an hour!"

"Boss..." Chesu, who was pressed by Aisha on the sofa, felt uneasy all over, "This, this... I am here to work, not to enjoy, these things..."

"Do you want everyone in the palace to be scolded by His Highness again?" The boss frowned dissatisfied.

"But...but..." Looking at the three or two pieces of underwear alone in the basin, Chesu cried, "Will it take half an hour to wash just a few small things?"

Shaking his head sympathetically, the boss looked up: "This is His Highness's order. He said that you are only responsible for his clothes. But His Highness's coats are sent for dry cleaning, so you only need to wash His Highness's underwear. Please obey." That’s fine, don’t have any doubts and objections.”

… Sitting on the comfortable sofa without a word, Chesu rubbed the thin pieces of fabric vigorously.what!It's a full size bigger than Master Andy's underwear, but it's still pure black. Aren't you afraid that it will fade after being washed?

rub rub rub!You can't blame me if you rub it until it rots, who asked that perverted Crown Prince to wear such thin underwear!

Hey, it really is the clothes exclusively for the royal family, and it won't be broken even if you rub it so hard... Annoyed, Chesu looked at the tough and pompous panties in his hand, and threw them into the clear water angrily. A fine sweat broke out.

Seeing the gradual redness on his face, the little maid Aisha secretly smiled.No matter how weird His Highness the Crown Prince's thoughts are, but for Young Master Chesu who has been lying on the bed and reading a book, getting out of bed and moving around is really good for your health!

On the other side, on the serious face of the boss, there seemed to be a slight smile hidden in the deep wrinkles at the corners of his mouth.

"Master Chesu, let's go hang the clothes." Little maid Aisha pursed her lovely red lips, tilted her head, and smiled sweetly and playfully.

"Wouldn't it be better to just dry it?" Chesu muttered, "Evidently there are modern machines that don't need it, but the palace is really thrifty."

With a "giggle" laugh, Aisha picked up the small basin: "Master Chesu - the smell of sunshine on the clothes will be very good, and His Royal Highness will be satisfied!"

Nonsence!It's just underwear, what more sunshine smell is there!

"Sister Aisha, I have heard that the so-called smell of sunlight on the quilt after drying, in fact, it may be because... there is the smell of corpses left by mites killed by the sun." Forced by the little maid Pulling towards the green lawn, Chesu couldn't help complaining.

With a dark face, the little maid Aisha pretended not to hear what he said, and she swore, absolutely, absolutely, never to pass such words to His Highness!

The sun was shining and the sky was blue.The thin breeze blows over, bringing the fragrance of the newly bloomed golden bell grass.In the palace of the Imperial Crown Prince, the sun was shining brightly.
