[Rebirth] Alien Royalty

Chapter 74

There was a knock on the door.

"Your Highness."

Lu Xiao turned over on the bed, buried his head in the quilt and mumbled, "I'm not hungry."

"You didn't eat lunch, so you should have some in the evening." Warren said outside the door.

"...Then let them bring it in first."

There was a door opening behind him, and the footsteps of the attendants were very light.

After putting down the tray, the waiter left.

Standing at the door, Warren looked at the figure lying on the bed with his back turned to him. After a moment of silence, he said, "Your Highness, are you... sure you don't need to change to another room to rest?"

"No, you go out."

"……Yes."

The door is closed.

Lu Xiao opened his eyes, let out a breath, reached out and rubbed his eye sockets.

Of course Warren had reported to him that the room might have been filled with poisonous gas, and the Rabbit God had seen everything when he was unconscious.Although Lu Xiao hasn't recovered his physical strength in the past few days, he is probably still affected by the toxin, but he is indeed slowly recovering. Rufas probably didn't put poison in his room anymore.

If you don't want that old man to do anything to him, the entire Xingguo belongs to him, where can Lu Xiao escape safely?

But poisoning his own son for the sake of cliche, this kind of practice is really...

Lu Xiao was at a loss for words. Fortunately, according to Rabbit God, he didn't seem to say anything that shouldn't be said.

In the past two days, in order to recover his strength, Lu Xiao has not been out of the house.And to be honest, there is nothing to visit in this royal manor. If he just wants to investigate the situation, then he can do it with his strength.

Speaking of the strength body, the rest of these two days did restore Lu Xiao's ability a bit, but the recovery speed was very slow, I don't know if it was because his body was poisoned again.

He didn't dare to use his power at will now, for fear that he would run out of "oil" at a critical moment, which would be too tragic.

Lu Xiao tossed and turned on the bed, feeling very bored, thinking about a lot of things in his head, but he didn't seem to think about anything.

He wanted to find something to do, tried to concentrate, and habitually peeked out of the house.

It's already night outside|falling.

Every night in the Royal Manor is almost exactly the same. Basically, apart from Mrs. Lilia, there are very few chances to see other members of the royal family around Bazel's residence.

The shifts of the patrolling soldiers had certain rules. Basically, there were twenty teams patrolling the entire Royal Manor at the same time, changing shifts three times a night.

Bazel's residence is often patrolled and guarded by two teams, Lu Xiao can see them every night, and can remember the moment when they pass by the window of his room.

For example, at this time, one of the patrols is going to change shifts, so there is only one team left to pass the west side of the building, and the latter will not change shifts until the former returns.

After a while, another team came back and walked in his direction.

It only takes about a minute for the procession to pass by his window.It will be at least half an hour before the next pass...

Lu Xiao was bored and used his power body to watch them approach from the "God's perspective". When he approached, he suddenly found something discordant——

Suspiciously, Lu Xiao narrowed the distance and looked at the team, but he just didn't know what was wrong.

Just at this time, the team officially passed by his window.The shadows of the soldiers were reflected on the curtains, passing by at a constant speed one by one.

Just as the tail of the team was about to pass, suddenly, the figure at the end disappeared.

Lu Xiao sat up from the bed with a "chuckle" and stared at the window in a daze.

The power body staying outside the house shrank back to the window with a "swish", searched the grass outside the window for a while, and found a figure hidden behind the bushes, which would never have been found without careful inspection.

The man squatted under Lu Xiao's window, and he was indeed wearing a patrol uniform.A pair of dark green eyes slowly scanned the outside of the bushes, as if confirming that there was no one around, then the man raised his head and glanced at the window above his head, with an expression on his face thinking about how to go in quietly.

As soon as Lu Xiao saw those dark green eyes, he became excited.It was also at this time that he noticed that although this person's face was very strange, it couldn't be said to be completely unfamiliar—didn't Cecil change into such a passerby's face when he went out!And that weird silver-gray hair is Cecil's makeup prop too!

Lu Xiao's heart thumped, almost jumping out of his chest.

He threw off the quilt abruptly and fell to the ground barefoot. Just as he was about to get up, he stopped again.

He turned his head and confirmed that there was no movement outside the door. He held his breath, walked barefoot to the window, and stood still in front of the window.

There are cameras everywhere in the Royal Manor. Although Arnold's movement speed is indeed so fast that the cameras can't catch it, it would be too risky to open the window and come in directly from the outside.

Lu Xiao took a deep breath, and pushed open the window with a "snap". Suddenly, the icy night wind rushed in, and the thin curtains were also raised, flapping and rolling in the wind.

Lu Xiao let his eyes stay in the night for a while longer, then folded his arms, frowned, and closed the window again.

The moment he turned around, he was dragged to the side wall to resist, and fell into a cold embrace.

"Your Majesty, we caught that man again just now, and we are tracking him, and this—"

Wen Sen got the folded piece of paper, walked back to the meeting table, and handed it to the old emperor.

The door of the conference room was open, and several attendants were guarding the door. A bald man stood beside them, with expressionless face and unfocused eyes, like a robot that had stopped working, standing motionless in the there.

Rufas took the paper and unfolded it.

On the piece of paper, there are only three characters written in ink.

It is said that it is three characters, but it cannot be determined, because it does not belong to any of the characters he knows.

Standing behind the emperor, Wen Sen broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the words on the paper.

What happened to that complicated and unfamiliar text?

Although it is impossible for Vincent to learn all interstellar languages, his previous study career has at least allowed him to recognize all types of characters.He was sure that he had never seen the writing on the paper before, it was like a ghost drawing.

Have they been tricked?That dark-haired man saw through their plan?

Vincent considered it carefully, and then denied the idea.No matter how much the man knew about their plans, he didn't need to write such complicated words to trick them.

These three fonts must have some meaning, maybe even really important information, so that man named Arnold created such a complicated code, I am afraid it is not so easy to decipher it.

This message was what the man wanted to bring to the prince, which means that the prince must know what was written on the paper.But it is impossible for them to directly ask the other party with the paper, otherwise the first person to know the important information will be that Highness...

Rufas stared at the words on the paper, it was hard to tell from his face what he was thinking.Just for a moment, he motioned for Vincent to take the paper back, and said, "Let's take it and crack it first."

"Yes……"

Rufas's hand on the desk slightly bent his index finger, tapping the table rhythmically.He looked at the void, silently thinking about something.

In the corridor, Warren suddenly came back to his senses and glanced at the closed door.

Did that person turn off the lights so early today again...

In the pitch-dark room, Lu Xiao froze for a moment before his blank mind recovered.

The man who hugged him lowered his head, put his mouth close to his ear, and said with a low smile, "I'm here to find you."

Lu Xiao's ears were numb from the warm breath, and he quickly pushed the person away, bumping into those dark green eyes, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Arnold curled the corners of his lips, smiling silently, with a soft look in his eyes.This strange way of staring at him made Lu Xiao uncomfortable. He lowered his head, always feeling his face was a little hot.

...Okay, what a strange reaction...

Clearing his throat, Lu Xiao lowered his voice and said, "Why are you here!"

"Of course I'm here to take you out." Arnold tugged Lu Xiao, and the two sat on the ground together.

Lu Xiao huddled in the corner, Arnold sat opposite him, silver light fell into his eyes, twinkling like starlight.

"But as expected of the Royal Manor, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to get here through the defense team."

"Of course!" Lu Xiao was naturally happy to see Arnold, but the atmosphere just now made him embarrassed and shy again, and his mood was complicated for a while, "You came alone?"

"I might not be able to see you so soon by myself." Cecil and the others obtained the patrol uniforms through some violent means.And in view of being followed as soon as they landed, they also made Xia Zuo disguise himself as him according to a plan they had prepared to distract some people's attention.It's really not easy to meet the man in front of me.

"Cecil and the others are here too, but they didn't come into this place with me."

"Cecile? Cecil, Xia Zuo and Tania?"

"And Sammy, he said he wanted to help."

Lu Xiao was moved for a while, but he was a little worried. After all, the real Sami was just a child!

"Speaking of which," Arnold straightened his face, "Your face doesn't look very good, are you sick?"

"I'm not sick, but Rufas seemed to put some drug in my room through the heater before, and I'm still dizzy." Lu Xiao complained.

Arnold reached out to touch his face, and Lu Xiao inadvertently held his breath.

"Just dizzy? No other symptoms?"

Lu Xiao shook his head.

"That's good." Arnold withdrew his hand. "In this case, it should be easier to take you out."

Get out of this place...

"You don't want to stay here, do you?" Arnold looked at him and asked suddenly.

Lu Xiao was taken aback, and said, "How is it possible! Why should I stay in this place..."

"I thought you enjoyed the treatment of a prince here, maybe you were reluctant to leave?" Arnold joked.

Lu Xiao glared at him.

This is not the treatment of a prince!He is like a prisoner these days!

The reason why he hesitated for a moment when he mentioned leaving this place was not that he didn't want to leave the Royal Manor, but...

Lu Xiao frowned, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

Because he still didn't trust Arnold before, he didn't dare to tell the other party everything, thinking about leaving a way out for himself, so that if something happened in the future, it would be okay to talk about it.

However, since the base was blown up to now, he and Arnold have become very close without knowing it for such a short time together.Thinking carefully about the relationship between the two of them at this moment, Arnold has no reservations about him, and he no longer hides everything like he did when he was still in the base.And he... Would he still not trust the man in front of him?

Lu Xiao raised his eyes and stared at Arnold who was a little confused for a while...

...Probably not.

He couldn't find any reason not to trust the other party.

Since he wanted the two of them to live together and reach the earth alive, it would be better for him not to hide anything from Arnold.

With his thoughts settled, Lu Xiao let out a long breath.

"..." Arnold looked at the blond man in front of him and smiled, "It seems that you are going to tell me something very important."

"Well, it's very important." Lu Xiao said.

Originally, this kind of thing should not be brought up at this time, but his intuition told Lu Xiao that it might be better for him to take advantage of this opportunity to speak out.

"The truth about Bazel's disappearance two years ago..."
