hunting light

Ian opened a paper origami teaching book, followed the instructions on it, spent a lot of effort, and finally folded the letter paper into a little white dove.

He played with this rough paper pigeon and laughed with a sense of accomplishment.

At this moment, a slight movement came from the lower abdomen.

It's like hiding a small fish there, flicking its tail lightly, making a shallow ripple, and then disappearing without a trace.

Ian froze, and gently covered his lower abdomen with his hands.

"You like it too, don't you?"

There was no more movement in the stomach.

But Ian can still feel that weak and brand-new energy fluctuation, which is growing in his body day by day.Like a small flame, it is getting brighter and brighter.

In October of 14757 in the new calendar, the "War Lions" finally surrounded Badley City, the base camp of Queen Elsa I.

Baddeley's guards were quickly defeated, and the skies above Central City were nearly occupied by Leon's army.

It was night in the hemisphere.Looking out from Baddeley's palace, you will find that the starry sky tonight is extraordinarily bright, and the stars are low and close to the clouds, as if they are within reach.

Those are the fleets of Leonardo III.

Elsa walked through the corridors of the palace in this starry sky, and walked into a heavily guarded independent building.

In the living room of the small building, only one dim lamp was lit.A man in pajamas was sitting by the window, also looking at the starry sky.

"You're losing, Elsa," said the man.

"Yes." Elsa responded calmly, "Since he was crowned by the Pope, I have known that today will come. I have already prepared for it."

"Even you are defeated."

The man turned around, revealing a pale face.The long-term house arrest made him seem a little lack of exercise, but his appearance was well maintained, his hair was neatly trimmed, and he did not live like a lunatic because of mental illness, as the outside world speculated.

This man is Raphael I who has disappeared from everyone's sight for almost a year.

Elsa pulled a stool, sat down beside her brother, and looked at the starry sky with him.

Queen Elsa I, who is not yet 50 years old, is actually in her prime.Although her appearance is not as beautiful as her elder brother's, she is quite elegant and dignified.

Unlike her father and elder brother, the queen has always been praised by her courtiers for her emotional stability.Even in the face of a certain defeat situation, she remained calm and did not show any gaffes.

"You said, if the father had a spirit in heaven, he wouldn't know how angry he would be when he saw his children so worthless?" Elsa whispered.

"He didn't like the two of us." Raphael said coldly, "He only has his little Louis in his eyes."

"It's ridiculous, at least you and I have worn the certain crown, and we have worked hard to fight against the father and son." Elsa said, "Louis, he and his beautiful wife and young son are enjoying Leon's love." Feeding, I have long forgotten the past."

"It was you who fought against it." Raphael said, "It was your plan that killed Anthony, and it was you who fought against Leon for so long. You did what our other brothers and sisters failed to do. Actually , your performance fully meets father's expectations for an heir."

"It's a pity that I'm a Beta." Elsa sneered, "You always think that you are ignored by your father, then you should really experience my life. My father often doesn't remember that there is such a daughter as me, he will even put me You misspelled my name. At least you got your mother's love. But my mother can't even remember my birthday."

"And now," Elsa said, "at least I have proved that the blood of Brad the Great is flowing in my body. Even if I fail in the end, I am still better than my brothers and sisters. Even if I am not given a chance, I will Can do the best."

Raphael was silent for a moment and said, "What are you going to do?"

Elsa said: "Tomorrow I will surrender. Tonight, tonight, let me enjoy the wind of freedom one last time."

Raphael took a deep look at his sister: "Father misunderstood you."

"I know." Elsa laughed, "but you know what? Now, finally, I don't give a fuck!"

At seven o'clock the next morning, Queen Elsa I announced her surrender.Badley was liberated peacefully.

The Byron Civil War, which lasted for nearly six years and experienced the rebellion of the two princes and daughters, finally came to an end.Under the rule of Leonardo III, the Byron Empire is unified again!

The news of the end of the civil war in the Byron Empire was the focus of international news for several days.

Leonardo III did not personally lead troops into Badley, but returned to the court directly after completing the handover ceremony.

The triumphant return of the emperor was warmly welcomed by the people of the imperial capital.In the international news, Glori was crowded with people captured by the aerial camera.The streets were crowded with crowds of onlookers, and cheers shook the sky as the emperor's motorcade passed by.

Leonardo III fits almost all the fantasies of an emperor in people's hearts: he is strong, wise, decisive in his wrists, and progressive in his thinking.He overcame thorns and thorns all the way to the top, and he was invincible no matter in the political arena or the battlefield.

And he was so young and full of vigor.He will have enough time to lead the Byron Empire to new glory.

"He is indeed a handsome man." Guang Ji commented very fairly, "No matter his facial features or figure, his proportions and lines are perfect, and he has obvious personal characteristics. This makes his appearance very attractive to the opposite sex. Attractive. And his body bones and muscles also allow him to exert the most extreme human strength. This is the Dark Sentinel."

In the video, the young emperor is waving to the crowd welcoming him, his profile is tough and graceful, and his smiling eyes are like the blue sea under the sun.This man is indeed handsome and extraordinary, like a god descending.

The tenderness in Ian's eyes disappeared when Guangji's voice sounded.He lowered his eyes, hiding his disappointment with indifference.

"He was very much loved by his people," said Mitsuki. "Leonardo III was not only an outstanding military strategist, but also a statesman. It was not easy to tame a man like him. His self-awareness It is quite thick, and it is extremely difficult to be inferior to others. But now, we should send him a generous gift to celebrate his victory."

"Of course." Ian said, "I've sent someone to draw up a gift list."

"Don't you want to give the gift yourself?" Guang Ji asked with a smile, "In the name of a visit, you can still meet him. At the same time, you can also tell him the good news."

"I don't think it's appropriate to do this." Ian said lightly, "The reform of the Holy See has just completed the first step, and I have a lot of work. But I will continue to communicate with him."

"You can do it your way." Guang Ji smiled, "I'm not in a hurry, Ian. My life is boundless, and I'm more patient than any of you."

The concierge department quickly delivered the prepared gift list to Ian.

Yi An flipped through it absent-mindedly, and then signed.

"By the way, I have a personal gift here." Ian asked the secretary to bring a wooden box, "It doesn't need to be added to the gift list, but please be sure to deliver it to the emperor himself."

The Pope's mission arrived at the Champs Elysees four days later with this batch of gifts.

Arriving with them, there were also gifts from countries all over the galaxy, all of which were piled up in one palace.

After returning to the court, the emperor has been taking care of everything, even busier than he was on the battlefield.The endless meetings made Leon feel like a bucket.

Every time he watched congressmen arguing and even fighting, Leon couldn't help but think of what his father once said: "I'd rather go to the zoo and have a gorilla throw me in the face." banana!"

So those congratulatory gifts were thrown aside by the emperor, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites went to count them, and they didn't bother to ask.

After the meeting adjourned for the day, the cabinet members returned to the emperor's great study, still arguing over a reform bill.

Leon drank a cup of espresso with a look of lovelessness, thinking that his place was no different from the poultry section of the vegetable market.

An aide came to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the official of the Ministry of Rites of the Holy See asked to see him. He said that there is another gift for you."

"Anything else?" Leon chuckled.

Leon had already seen the gift list of the Holy See. The gift was expensive and nothing new, and he knew it was drawn up by the officials.Leon wasn't even interested in seeing the actual product.

"Yes," said the aide-de-camp, "he said the gift was a personal gift from the Pope."

Ian gave it to him personally?

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" The emperor almost jumped up, "Quick! Let him in!"

An official who looked like a bishop nervously walked into the room that smelled heavily of gunpowder smoke.The group of cabinet ministers turned a blind eye to him, still arguing in full swing.

"Don't worry about them, my lord bishop." The emperor received the special envoy very kindly, "They said that the Pope asked you to hand over something to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's this wooden box." The bishop had heard about Leonardo III's reputation as God of War for a long time, but he didn't expect him to be so young and friendly, so he was somewhat flattered.

"His Majesty the Pope has specifically instructed that this gift must be delivered to you in person."

Like a child unwrapping a birthday present, Leon excitedly placed the box on the desk, rubbed his hands together, and opened the wooden box carefully.

The quarrel in the study continued, and the ministers blushed and stretched their necks like a group of clucking turkeys.

But mother and child are connected.Gercia was the first to feel an unusual fluctuation.He stopped arguing and turned to look at his son.

Leon sat at the desk, staring blankly at an open wooden box, as if his soul had gone out of his body.

Ever since he became the emperor, this man has almost never shown such a dull expression.Gercia couldn't help but froze.

Adevi also immediately noticed the strangeness of the emperor.

The quarrel stopped abruptly, and the ministers all looked at the emperor in confusion.

"Leon," Gercia asked uneasily, "what's the matter?"

Leon raised his head, his face full of disbelief, and a frenzied light burst out of his eyes.

"I... Ian..." Leon spoke incoherently, "We..."

He slid his Adam's apple vigorously, and with trembling hands, he took out a bunch of pink-white empty starfish from the box that was as fresh as if it had just been cut.

Gercia was shocked for a moment and subconsciously covered her mouth.

"I don't understand." Advi frowned.

The empty starfish belongs to the Rosaceae family and has very beautiful flowers.It is a more precious variety, and pink and white is even rarer.But it is just a flower after all.

"So, the Pope sent His Majesty a bouquet of flowers." Adway was puzzled, and played his poisonous tongue, "Is it necessary to be so surprised? Or has our Majesty never been given flowers before?"

Leon was holding the bouquet of white flowers, his eyes were straightened, and his whole body was completely petrified.

"Is it true that he has never been sent?" Adwei couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to the emperor.

No wonder so excited.Although it is indeed strange that the pope sends flowers to the emperor, is it necessary to show affection so blatantly...

"You may not understand the meaning of this bouquet of flowers." Gercia's voice was slightly choked, which made Adwei's head black.

"In Fryer, the flower language of the white starfish is 'new life'. When the wife is pregnant, she will send a bouquet of flowers to her husband and tell him the good news..."

Adwei seemed to be pierced through the Tianling Cap by a bolt of lightning, and his whole body was not well.

So... the pope is pregnant and the baby is our emperor's? !

No condoms → Pregnant without marriage → The eldest son of the emperor is an illegitimate child → The mother and son are still in the enemy camp... Wait for a series of blows like a series of punches on the head of the head of the staff, making him roll all over the floor.

Not to mention "Will the emperor and the pope get married?", "If they don't get married, the emperor will marry another person in the future and give birth to a legitimate son. Isn't the empire going to be caught in a melee of heirs again..." Barabara and other more troublesome things In the follow-up, the chief of staff broke his heart in an instant.

But the emperor at the moment doesn't care about those things at all.

There was only one voice in his head shouting repeatedly: Ian is pregnant!He has our baby!

He is going to be a father!

Leon trembled all over, holding the pink and white bouquet as if he had found a treasure, and stuck it to his heart.

This man, who watched warships disappear with a smile on the battlefield, and did not shed a single tear at the funeral of his father and comrades-in-arms, buried his head and covered his face with his hands to hide the glint of water in the corners of his eyes.

"Mother my child, my heart is fleshy, my crown jewel, my little white dove of love..."

"Too long-winded!" Sang Xia said.

Leon covered the letter paper and gave Sangxia a vicious look: "If you peek at the emperor's love letter, you will be exiled to the mine star to drive an excavator, Miss Hughes. Even if you are my child!"

"If Your Majesty didn't read it out while writing it, I actually don't want to know what you wrote!" Sang Xia rolled her eyes, "Also, Your Majesty, are you listening to me?"

"Say it." The emperor crumpled the paper into a piece, threw it into the mouth of the waste paper disposal robot, took another piece of letter paper, and continued writing.

"Regarding the pope and the future crown prince, do you have a definite idea?" Sangxia patiently repeated what she had said three times.

"Princess Princess." Leon corrected, showing a smirk like a father-to-be, "It may also be a daughter. In terms of time, Ian was conceived by Fryer, and the child has been more than three months now. Although it is still Can't be sure about the gender, but I've always wanted a daughter..."

"Isn't that the point?" Sang Xia almost went mad, "Our entire news office has already exploded, Your Majesty. If this news gets out—the leakage rate of this kind of royal family gossip is almost 100%—the royal family will We are facing a tsunami of questioning. We must be fully prepared. Whether to hold a press conference, whether to admit that this happened, whether to admit that the child is yours..."

"Of course the child is mine!" Leon slapped the table and roared, "Who else is this child other than mine? Who else in the world has the ability to impregnate the Pope?"

Although Sang Xia had always been a heroic girl, she was also defeated by the shame of the emperor's words at this moment, and was speechless for a while.

"Don't pay attention to what people outside have to say." Leon waved his hand, "Look at Ian's attitude first. If the Holy See wants to praise him as the Holy Son, he must publicize his pregnancy and childbirth. He took it back. We must not let him and the child completely fall into the hands of the Holy See."

Seeing that the emperor was not overwhelmed with joy, Sang Xia was relieved.

"Then the royal family should start preparing for the wedding?"

Leon paused and raised his head suddenly: "Huh?"

"Royal wedding, Your Majesty." Sangxia stared at the emperor with dead fish eyes, "Ian is three months pregnant, and Omega is ten months pregnant, so he can't hold a ceremony with you with a big belly. Fortunately, he organized the wedding when he was not very pregnant. In this way, the time left for the ceremony department to prepare is at most about three months. The people in the ceremony department probably lost all their hair..."

"Ah?" Leon dropped his pen and stood up, "What, Ian may not be willing to marry me..."

"Do you want your eldest son/daughter to be born as an illegitimate child?" Sang Xia suddenly transformed into a fire-breathing hag, "Or let Ian give birth to the child in Xilin, as the holy son of the Holy Ming Sect?"

"How could I let such a thing happen!" Leon was furious, "Even if I lead troops to destroy Xilin, I will take my Omega and my child back, okay?"

Sang Xia took a long breath: "Then, Your Majesty, you should at least prepare an engagement ring."
