interstellar fairy tale

Under the rule of might and absolutes, it would be a sin to emphasize the ego.

Shang Ping read this sentence from a chronicle of the Golden Empire, and Shang Ping was shocked for a long time by putting paranoia and toughness above freedom, but taking it for granted.

On the second day after the emperor and his entourage arrived in Holhold, Shang Ping only slept for less than three hours, and rejected the emperor's plausible invitation. Shang Ping was even ready to be locked up again. After all, Solan Adri Xi has a criminal record. Shang Ping still remembers the transparent glass cover and golden birdcage back then.

Unexpectedly, Soran Edrich did not punish Shang Ping in any form. Although the young emperor seemed unhappy, he still performed his duties according to the planned itinerary.

While Shang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, he still didn't dare to relax, maintaining a kind of guard that wasn't very deliberate, so it was hard to be noticed.If it was Shang Ping before, he would definitely not have this way of handling things. This kind of behavior that betrayed the integrity of the soldiers has always been the incompetence and shame emphasized by the Madoff Military Academy.

Sitting on the snow-white plush carpet, leaning against the window sills inlaid with enamel stones, Shang Ping was immersed in an empty thought, he was very confused, he didn't know the way ahead, and he was afraid of changing himself unconsciously .

He begins to learn to hide his true emotions, even though it's not obvious.

Father, is this what you want?

Shang Ping closed his eyes, unable to convince himself, and understood that he could not go back to the past. He had experienced too much and forcibly pulled him out of the ivory tower he had built. Gone are the days when flying a one-man fighter jet into an enemy.

"Accept it..."

Sighing, Shang Ping casually threw the reader aside.

Solan Edrich was busy with meeting members of the Yuga family who were in charge of Horhold, and Shangping was free throughout the day.However, due to considerations for the emperor's safety, the elevators have been completely deactivated in the Hallhold Governor's Mansion. Anyone who wants to approach the emperor's floor or go out from this floor will be strictly checked.Shang Ping tried once, trying to persuade the guards to let him take a look outside the Governor's Mansion. Of course, he didn't expect to go out by himself at all, but this very reasonable request was also rejected.

"Isn't it okay to accept the inspection?"

"Sorry, your status is special, you need the emperor's permission to let you go."

Shang Ping just thought about it, then gave up, obediently stayed in the room, and continued to read the imperial chronicle.Knowing that Shang Ping had fully understood Holhold's information, Soran Edrich raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then his attendant sent several times the information to Shang Ping.Along with that, there were two attendants who came from great aristocrats, which made Shang Ping very troubled. For those two guys whose words and deeds seemed to be measured by a ruler, Shang Ping expressed that he was incapable of accepting it.Only now did he realize how kind the etiquette teacher Soran Aldrich had found him was.

There was a regular knock on the door, and Shang Ping looked up at the sky, but all he saw was the ornately decorated ceiling.

"Hello! His Majesty the Emperor invites you to attend the banquet tonight."

Shang Ping secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, and could only smile and invite the attendant, who was holding a dress and decorations, to enter the door. Look, how well he behaved!Shang Ping started to laugh at himself.

At the same time, Marshal Novi has already begun to formulate cooperation matters with the 670th Eight Hulks. Most of Soran Edrich's direct descendants are iron-blooded soldiers. Wei and the Yujia family behind him are suitable for more contact with goodwill.

"Ambition, desire, and the natural desire for power, as long as it is within the allowed range, I will give you everything you desire."

Soran Aldrich's promise was like a sugar-coated poison, but Novi swallowed it willingly.

"Your Majesty, Holhold will dedicate all his loyalty to you."

Novi knows the times, like nurturing his family.The power stone given to him by the emperor, as well as the deal with the 670th Bahuoxing Governor, were all revealed to him, and he had no chance to regret or refuse.

"very good."

A smile finally slipped across Soran Aldrich's blue eyes. He didn't mind Novi's reservations about him. As long as this man was loyal to the empire, he would get everything he wanted.

The routine interviews and conversations came to an end, and the dinner hosted by the emperor was put on the agenda.Of course, a single emperor will always receive a lot of attention, which is completely different from the ardent pursuit of the person he likes. As long as he can be brought back to Ivan's summer palace by Solan Edrich, even if it is only a short-lived lover status, he will give himself and his family Bring supreme glory.

Shang Ping was not aware of the power of this and the turbulent undercurrents under the stage, but with an attitude of completing the task, he dressed himself up and followed Soran Edrich into the banquet hall.He still can't pinpoint his location, is he a hostage?or something else?Soran Aldrich hadn't told him explicitly.The emperor allowed Shang Ping to stand by his side, occasionally took Shang Ping's hand, and even danced the opening dance with Shang Ping. No matter how slow Shang Ping was, he could still feel the burning eyes behind him, full of jealousy , envy and various inexplicable emotions.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you don't want to kill me?"

Soran Aldrich gently shook the crystal glass, drank the bright red wine in one gulp, then lifted Shang Ping's chin, and fed the sweet and pungent liquid to his lips, which were wet by the wine. into Shang Ping's mouth.

The stunned gasp was covered by the music, but it couldn't cover the jaws that seemed to be falling to the ground.

"Who is that?"

"The emperor's lover?"

"Find out his identity!"

"Could it be someone from the Dreyer family?"

All kinds of whispers and guesses could not affect the emperor's sudden change of mood. Looking at Shang Ping who seemed to be frightened, Soran Edrich brushed Shang Ping's lips gracefully and smiled softly , "This is a 200-year-old Chardonnay, is it good?"

Shang Ping was still a little stunned, it was really hard to believe that this man who looked like a glacier would behave like this.He was almost pierced by the sight falling on him, does this man really want him to die?

The weird silence was interrupted by the sweet scent of the cake. The fruit on the cake was the fruit Langa produced on the main star of Holhold. This fruit tastes sweet and contains an extremely rare nutritional element that can strengthen people's physique and longevity.It is a pity that this kind of fruit cannot be cultivated artificially. It only grows on a very high mountain in Holhold. The annual output is also extremely rare, and the price is astonishingly high, making it even more precious.

The price of these pastries that appeared at the banquet was enough to rival a medium-sized space fleet.It can be seen how much the Yuga family attaches great importance to the arrival of Soran Edrich.

When everyone at the banquet expressed their admiration, Shang Ping's eyes were attracted by the pastry chef behind the dining car, not to say how handsome and charming that man is, he is very ordinary, of medium build, very ordinary appearance, light gray Hair, looks like an ordinary pastry chef, but on his right thumb, he wears a ring inlaid with gemstones!

This is so unusual that no pastry chef would wear such jewelry while making pastries!

Shang Ping sensed something was wrong, and similarly, Solan Edrich's attendant moved to the emperor's side without a trace.The pastry chef suddenly got into trouble. He pulled out the horizontal shaft used to push the dining car, and at the same time took out a circular object from under the cake base, and skillfully assembled it into a strange small weapon.When one end of the black hole on the horizontal axis was aimed at the emperor, everyone discovered that it was a modified small laser cannon!This modified shell easily escaped the inspection of the guards.

"catch him!"

The people in the banquet hall did not panic, including the young lady, and the closest ones even tried to subdue the man!But the man's actions were extremely fast, and his skills were not to be underestimated. After several failed attacks, the guards and attendants who heard the news rushed forward, finally took off the weapon, and pushed the man to the ground!

The man broke free from the guard's hand fiercely, and aimed his thumb ring at the emperor!The attack still failed, and the man roared unwillingly, but Shang Ping still felt that something was wrong!This is too deliberate, the man seems to have deliberately exposed flaws from the very beginning.

Until an unremarkable guard suddenly aimed the laser gun at Soran Edrich in the chaos!

Before Shang Ping had time to think, he snatched the laser gun from the attendant beside him, leaned on the edge of the table with one hand, jumped over the crowd, kicked sideways, and knocked the guard who was caught off guard to the ground, and shot twice, the guard twitched He fell to the ground and took his last breath.

"Why did you kill him?!" The guard officer turned over the body of the guard. It was a familiar face with a terrible expression on his face. "You can ask for a confession!"

Shang Ping glanced at the angry guard officer expressionlessly, walked back to Soran Edrich without saying anything.He was still contradicting, maybe he shouldn't save this man, but he had to do it, if Soran Edrich died, even if he was injured, he wouldn't get a good result.

Without him, when a group of people will face trial and judgment, if one of them has no conflict of interest with the others and has a hostile status, then he will be the best scapegoat.

Shang Ping did not want this kind of result. He no longer simply believed that justice and axiom would win, and made a choice for judgment.How sad, but it would have saved his life.He doesn't want to die, he wants to live a good life, better than anyone else!

Soran Edrich looked at Shang Ping who came to stand beside him with a calm expression, stroked Shang Ping's black hair lightly, and smiled slightly.

The guard officer was still angry, as if anger could cover up his failure of duty, the emperor's guard frowned and stopped his noise, "The assassin is still alive."

So, don't worry about not being able to ask anything.
