Get down on your knees, useless Alpha

The Imperial Prime Minister Vogt sat quietly in his study room. In his heavily guarded residence, only there were no devices placed here. It can be said that the heavy protection is for this quiet corner.

In the past, Vogt and his wife enjoyed talking here, and they would enjoy the afternoon sun and delicious small desserts together.

It was a quiet beauty who seemed to glow when she smiled.

Everything that was on Vogt's mind, his wife was the only listener.

Later, his wife died in a murder, and the quiet beauty was also very quiet when she died, with her eyes closed and a red gauze surrounded by blood.

Vogt was there at the time, but he didn't cry, he didn't yell, and he was quiet.

There have been many rumors that the murder was actually directed by Vogt himself, just to put the blame on his political opponents.

No one knew if that was true, and Vogt never disputed it.But from that day on, he abandoned his former lovers.

Until now, Vogt still hasn't changed his habit of talking about his thoughts in this study. Even though he understands that silence is the best protection, he is still as stubborn as he was when he was young and when his wife was still alive.

Just like at this time, the already old Vogt took a sip of coffee, then put down the cup: "Anja." This is his wife's name, as quiet and beautiful as her own.

"The marshal is back, but His Majesty does not allow the marshal to go to the front line, which was a good thing in the past. The marshal is very good, but he is not calm enough as the marshal of the empire, and he always likes to take risks, even though he has corrected a lot." Vogt said, Looking intently at the empty chair opposite, he said as if he was really chatting with someone, "But not now, the Federation has spread rumors that the marshal is dead, and we need the marshal to come forward in person."

Vogt was silent for a while when he said this, and quietly tasted the overly sweet coffee with a lot of sugar and milk added, until the sun had shifted to one side, he continued: "Your Majesty, in this regard Too stubborn, I can't change him in any way, maybe the marshal can, but just maybe."

Vogt lived for a long time. He saw with his own eyes how Lian Wenming tied the sharp and soft silk thread around Mora's neck in the name of love, and watched with his own eyes how Lian Yi and Lian Xi struggled to save this dying empire .He is familiar with many secrets, he knows how Lian Yi and Lian Xi grew up.

He remembered a long time ago, when the late emperor Lian Wen Ming was not yet dead, Lian Yi was just born, and he was still very young as the prime minister of the empire.

That time when Vogt followed Lian Wenming into the palace, he happened to see Mora picking up everything within reach and smashing it at the young Lian Xi crazily, cursing something loudly, while a maid was lying down. Lian Yi, who was less than a year old, was standing beside her head, and there was an exquisite cage on the ground.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Vogt at that time would have found it hard to believe that the always gentle and kind queen still had such a side.

And Lian Wenming, who stopped, watched from the side, didn't stop, just watched the scene with a quiet smile.

Such a scene made Vogt feel cold in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word. He already knew how ruthless Lian Wenming was in silence, so he could only pray that this matter would pass quickly, and Mo There is nothing too dangerous around you.

But Vogt's prayer didn't work, so he could only watch as Mora picked up a dagger in both hands.

It was a decorative gold dagger, engraved with complicated patterns, dotted with many beautiful natural gemstones, without a scabbard, very heavy and sharp.

And Lian Wen Ming still looked at all this with a smile. Vogt believed that even if Lian Xi died on the spot, he would have such an expression.

At that moment, Vogt thought that Lian Xi would die.

But he didn't.

Because Lian Yi cried just right.

Mora's movements stopped, and then she threw the dagger away, and the beautiful and dangerous ornament fell to the ground with a heavy sound.She didn't look at Lian Xi, nor did she look at Lian Wen Ming and Vogt, and put on a gentle expression, just like what everyone usually sees, took Lian Yi from the hand of the maid, coaxed in a low voice, Turn around and leave.

And Lian Wenming didn't care about Mora's behavior, and signaled Vogt to leave with him.

Before leaving, Vogt couldn't help but look back at Lian Xi. Lian Xi, who was still a child, had already stood up and put down the arm that was covering his head. His expression was very calm, even though his face All bruises and cuts.The guards and maids standing beside him stood silently, expressionless, like a doll, no one reached out to help, and no one expressed concern.

After a while, Vogt found out what happened that day because Lian Xi put Lian Yi in the cage.

Many people know that Lian Xi likes his younger brother very much. When Mo La is not paying attention, he will often walk around with Lian Yi in his arms. Naturally, as Lian Xi, no one stops him.

And that cage was originally used to hold a rare bird, which was a rare gift Lian Xi got from Lian Wenming. Even though Lian Wenming looked like he was dismissing something when he gave it to him, Lian Xi still cherished it and fed it himself every day. Clean the cage.

It's just that the beautiful bird died later, and only one cage remained, so Lian Xi's daily activities became cleaning the cage to prevent it from getting a little dust.

And Lian Xi put his most cherished younger brother into the most cherished cage.

At the beginning, Mo La was still calm when she saw all this, but when she asked the reason, Lian Xi said childishly, "Why not? Don't we all live in cages?" With that scene Vogt saw.

Later Vogt recalled that incident many times, and he was most impressed by Lian Wenming's indifference, Mora's madness and Lian Xi's loneliness.

So he understood everything that happened afterwards, and also understood Lian Xi's emotional dependence on Lian Yi.

But recently he has been thinking about that cage. Even though his memory is blurred, he still remembers that it was a beautiful cage, but it was smashed by Mora's order later.

Many people know that Lian Xi attaches great importance to Lian Yi, but only a few people know that such importance has reached the point of paranoia.There are always many people around Lian Yi, and those people will tell Lian Xi about Lian Yi's every move.And all this is not because Lian Xi doubts Lian Yi, but because Lian Xi always wants to control everything about Lian Yi.

That was the paranoia that Lian Wenming left in Lian Xi's blood.

This is a kind of torture for Lian Yi. He always yearns for freedom and adventure, but his responsibility fixes him on the role of Marshal of the Empire, and he also knows Lian Xi's paranoia, so he can only bear it.Many times Vogt wondered if Lian Yi's outrageous behavior was a kind of silent resistance.

But such resistance can't change anything, it can only make Lian Xi pay more attention to everything around Lian Yi.

And Lian Yi's behavior this time finally made Lian Xi completely determined. He did not dismiss Lian Yi from his post, he just ordered Lian Yi to never go to the front line, and could only sit in the rear.

But the bombing of various weapons on the front line will make the communication unable to be transmitted over long distances, and now the front line is retreating steadily, because many troops have been transferred by Lian Xi to look for Lian Yi, and the rumors about Lian Yi's death have made many It is difficult for people to feel at ease, so Lian Yi needs to sit on the front line to stabilize the morale of the army.

But Lian Xi didn't allow it, he knew it would have a lot of impact, but he knew better that this impact was temporary, even if there would be a lot of costs, and for Lian Yi's safety, he would rather bear those costs.

But Vogt didn't want this to happen. He knew that Lian Yi didn't want this to happen even more. As a marshal, Lian Yi had many imperfections, but he was still the sharpest sword in the empire, the leader of the empire. shield.

"I hope the Marshal can convince His Majesty." Vogt said the last words, then got up, and walked out of the study slowly. Outside the study, hazy stars were already hanging in the dark purple and dark red sky, watching with everything.

Lian Xi just wanted to have a good rest tonight. The reports on the front line and all kinds of information about Lian Yi's whereabouts these days made him only able to sleep for less than three hours a day.

But his plan was not carried out because Lian Yi came.

Lian Xi waited for Lian Yi to speak, but Lian Yi remained silent, as if he came here just to sit opposite Lian Xi.

Neither of them like to talk about ideas, especially Lian Yi, who always does a lot of things without giving any explanation, as if explaining would kill him.

"Why do you have to go to the front line?" Lian Xi didn't wait any longer, he knew that Lian Yi was in a difficult situation at this time, and he also knew why Lian Yi came.

"Because it is necessary." Lian Yi said, and then he struggled for a while, he hadn't tried to explain anything like this for a long time, so now he couldn't find the right words at all.He can kill a thousand people, but he cannot convince a single person.

"I refuse." Before Lian Yi finished tangling, Lian Xi said calmly, "And even if you don't go to the front line, there won't be much change."

The Empire and the Federation have been fighting for so many years, and it is absolutely impossible for the battle situation to be affected so simply. In fact, when Lian Xi sent back those drawn troops, the battle situation has stabilized.

Unable to refute, Lian Yi tried hard to find another way to persuade Lian Xi, but in the end he found helplessly that he couldn't find a convincing reason at all, so he had to choose the usual way.

"I must go."

...that is to say the purpose directly.

Lian Xi looked at Lian Yi, two pairs of similar black eyes faced each other.

Looking at those familiar eyes, Lian Xi, who thought he was firm, was a little dazed. He remembered that those eyes looked at him so firmly a long time ago. At that time, he had just succeeded to the throne, and he was almost helpless in the face of a shaky situation. , and no one was willing to help him at that time, he had even planned to have Lian Yi taken away, and he himself planned to perish together with this fading empire.

And Lian Yi looked at him with such firm eyes at that time, which made him feel guilty for his negativity.

After so many years, he has enough ability to handle government affairs, but he began to hesitate, and Lian Yi is still so firm, shouldering the heavy responsibility that should not belong to him, guarding the country.

Lian Xi lowered his eyes to cover up the wavering in his eyes, and asked another seemingly irrelevant question, which he had always wanted to ask, but was still difficult to say: "When you face those things that must be done, what will you do?" Won't you feel pain?"

Lian Yi was stunned, he thought of his nephew Aaron who had been walking around with him all the time, and those innocent people who had to be killed by him, and then he said, "Yes."

After receiving the answer, Lian Xi sighed in his heart, but he heard Lian Yi continue to speak: "But I will never regret everything I have done."

Lian Xi raised his head and saw Lian Yi's eyes, those eyes were so bright that he wanted to lower his head for a moment instead of looking directly at him.

"Because I think it's worth it." Lian Yi said.

As long as the empire can be protected, there is nothing that cannot be discarded, because that is more important than everything else.

Lian Xi understood what Lian Yi hadn't finished saying, but he still had no expression, just like he always did.

Lian Xi wanted to continue to refuse, but couldn't speak.He was inexplicably reminded of the beautiful bird he had long ago, a golden bird with the rays of the sun shining in every feather, and he cherished it very much.But the beautiful bird was sick, and the veterinarian told him that there was no way to cure the disease, because this bird yearned for freedom very much, and no matter how good the food, the clean water, or the exquisite cage could not stop this yearning.Once the bird is captured, it dies slowly, from grief.The veterinarian advised him to release the bird, but he didn't, so the bird ended up dead, with its feathers still beautiful and shining.

Lian Xi understood that he could not convince Lian Yi, and Lian Yi would continue to try to convince himself, or look for any opportunity to go to the front.

But even if he understood, he still didn't want to agree.

"Then let's start as soon as possible." The moment he said that sentence, Lian Xi doubted whether it was really said from his own mouth, and Lian Yi's shocked expression also explained the problem.

But Lian Xi didn't regret it, he just looked at Lian Yi quietly.

Lian Yi looked at him, finally stood up, and saluted Lian Xi solemnly for the first time in his life: "I will return with glory and victory."

This is the promise all soldiers made to the national flag before going out.

Lian Xi thought of that beautiful bird again, and for the first time, he thought, would it be better if he let it go at that time?

Because some exist, destined to shine elsewhere.
