Crown Prince's Wedding Banquet

A common man, a companion, a... friend?

Everything is quiet in the dark.

Zhou Qin seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.

After a while, Elis called his name in a low voice: "Zhou Qin."

Zhou Qin.

It turned out that these two words came out of his mouth, and the sound made by his voice was so beautiful.Elise's voice was gentle and a little hoarse, and he spoke those two words from his throat along with his breathing...

It's like whispering thousands of times.

With a lover's pulse.

Zhou Qin pursed his lips to avoid laughing too bluntly: "Look, it's not that difficult, is it?"

The atmosphere is not as cramped as before.

"Tonight we are partners and friends, you can say anything to me." Zhou Qin said to him.

Elise asked him, "How's it going in Parliament today?"

"It's more thrilling than I thought." Zhou Qin said, "The number of votes evened at one point. At the beginning, the support votes were almost far ahead, and it was slowly leveled in the middle. In the last 10 minutes, the number of abstentions overtook, and the ending was set. But three My sister's reaction was quite calm - I mean compared to this result. Several MPs asked for a recount on the spot, so it took a while. But the result has not changed."

Elis put her long legs on the stone, her elbows on her knees, and listened quietly to Zhou Qin's words.

When it comes to politics, technology, programming... the crown prince is like a different person.Eloquent and eloquent, witty words constantly.

"...I'm more worried about the marshal." Zhou Qin said, "Although the vote was anonymous, it was no surprise that Yang Haoyu voted for King Qing. If King Qing really does something next... In addition to guarding against King Qing, what is more troublesome than her is to fight against the Marshal of the Empire."

When Zhou Qin said this, he remembered that the two of them had agreed to go out for a walk tonight.

"Look at me, talking about this again," he said apologetically.

"I brought it up. Your Highness... um... Zhou Qin." Elise said, "If you don't talk about this, what do you want to talk to me about? The wedding? I have received the wedding notice."

"Are you okay? Elise?" Zhou Qin asked him.

Elise said quietly for a while, thinking of what Zhou Qin said before, let him say whatever he has, so he asked him: "Maybe I am being sentimental? I feel that you seem to be worried about me?"

"Of course I'm worried about you." Zhou Qin replied seriously.

"Thank you." Elise smiled. "I admit that I was not in a good mood this afternoon. Even though I knew all this was irresistible, I still felt depressed, so I came to the fighting arena alone."

"But I'm much better now. You don't have to worry." Elise said, "I'm not a child, and I can regulate my emotions. Marriage is an inescapable thing, unless we rebel now, but that's impossible Things. Taking a step back, being able to marry you as a concubine is probably the dream of all unmarried Omegas in the entire empire. Why am I still so dissatisfied? After all, I have earned it."

After hearing this passage, Zhou Qin felt uncomfortable.

Marrying him is something that needs to be avoided but "can't be avoided"?All the unmarried Omegas in the entire empire wanted to marry the crown prince, but the concubine was reluctant.

It appears he still has a long way to go.

"It's good if you can think about it." The crown prince comforted the major general against his will and perfunctory, and then changed the subject without showing any trace, "Have you not had dinner yet? Let's find a restaurant to eat and celebrate today's victory How about it?"

"I'll invite you," said Elise. "I'll take you somewhere. It might be a bit rough... is that okay?"

"What does it matter?" Zhou Qin said immediately.

Elise invited him to dinner at any restaurant.

However, when he arrived, Zhou Qin felt that he had talked too much.

This place doesn't even compare to the worst restaurants.

Just built a simple wooden house by the side of the road, with compartments inside, cooking in the back, and a few tables in front... Zhou Qin has never been to such a bad...restaurant even in the Yeshan galaxy?

Zhou Qin felt that he respected this small shop by using the word restaurant to describe it.

To put it bluntly, it's just a covered open-air camp - this kind of place doesn't look like a crown prince, and a former noble like Elias doesn't seem to visit it often.

However, things were different than he expected. Elise was very familiar with this small restaurant. He brought Zhou Qin into this small place. Two tall men sat down on low chairs, with their knees under the table. Immediately squeezed together.

"Are you here?" The proprietress seemed to be familiar with Elias, she quickly came out from the room, and looked at Zhou Qin again, "You brought friends with you today?"

"Hmm." Elise looked at Zhou Qin, "How are you doing recently? Aunt Joan."

"Thanks to you, it's all good. Daniel also started elementary school last week." The proprietress said with a smile, "What do you want to eat? Both of you?"

Elise looked at the time, and it was already ten o'clock in the evening: "Just order something casually?"

Then he looked at Zhou Qin, and added: "Your family's signature dish."

Soon, the proprietress came out with two plain plates, which contained a large piece of ribs, served with pea puree and roasted radishes.

Although the things look very inconspicuous, the taste is really good, even the homemade fruit wine that goes with the meal is very tasty.

Zhou Qin took a sip, then bowed his head and ate it in one breath.

"Do you like it, sir?" the proprietress asked him with a smile.

"Very tasty. Thank you, Aunt Joan."

"It would be my greatest honor if you liked it," said Joan. "Mr. Christian's friend is always welcome here."

Elise put down her knife and fork and said to Joan, "I'm getting married."

"Really? Congratulations!" Joan said, "Why haven't you mentioned it before, who is your marriage partner?"

Elis took a sip of the fruit wine in the glass and looked at Zhou Qin with a smile.

"With this Mr. Alpha?" Joan came to her senses and said happily, "Oh, Mr. Christian, why didn't you say it earlier. God of the universe, I wish you a happy marriage."

Before leaving, Joan stuffed Zhou Qin with a box of cupcakes she baked herself.

Zhou Qin noticed that when Joan didn't pay attention to the bill when Elias checked out through the wrist communicator, she entered a few extra zeros in the tip column.

"This is a store opened by the mother of a soldier on the Falcon battleship. After his death, the old man opened a small stall with a little pension to support his children."

"Where is the soldier's wife?"

"He died early." Elis said. "In fact, this kind of situation is very common in the army. You know, the soldiers who died first are always the soldiers at the bottom. They often come from relatively poor families. They hope that through military exploits—— In fact, they can only improve their living conditions at home by joining the army. Once they die...the original family will enter a more difficult situation."

Elise sighed: "You know that the Falcon Fleet that Ellis is in once participated in the battle in the Gamma Centauri galaxy, and the battle loss rate was as high as 89%... It can be said that almost all the fighters in the entire Falcon Fleet died That's all from the face of the situation, from Ellis -- no, from 'my' decisions."

At this moment, Elise changed his wording. He used the word "I". Zhou Qin noticed this keenly. This may be a good change.

"Under the circumstances at that time, the collision of the Star Destroyer was the only way." Zhou Qin said to him.

"Who knows?" Elis said, "Before the alliance completes the leap, the high-level officials of the Imperial Army have already judged that it is hostile, so they will start the war immediately. But what if the alliance is not hostile? If we can negotiate first What? Even intimidation... If you delay the time, the follow-up imperial troops will arrive. The great achievement that was repeatedly praised before I was not convicted... Maybe it was a mistake at all... I realized more and more, If I had thought more clearly and calmed down at the time, maybe that battle would not have happened, and the Empire and even the Alliance would not have died so many people!"

"Iles..." Zhou Qin pressed his shoulder, "These may not exist. Because that battle happened, you won, and the empire won. You saved the lives of hundreds of millions of imperial people, and those who died Warriors have no regrets about what they do. That's enough."

"Zhou Qin?"

"Ok?"

"If you become the emperor, can you be better for these families who sacrificed their relatives for the country?"

"I will." Zhou Qin said, "We can push the parliament to amend the relevant laws. May I ask you to be a consultant?"

Elise looked up and smiled: "Okay."

The time on the communicator jumped from 23:59 to 00:00.

"Today is over, Zhou Qin." Elis said, "Let's go back, you leave quietly, I guess everyone in the manor is already in a hurry."

The Night Meteor raced on the black road again—it was at full speed.

After a while, Elias' voice came from Zhou Qin's helmet.

"Your Highness, I haven't sincerely congratulated you on your victory in the parliament." Elis said to him gently, "Also thank you for coming out to find me and walking with me."

Underground fighting arena.

NG Lounge.

Zhu Shao stood in the middle of the lounge, with his arms folded, and glanced at the bald head who was paralyzed on the ground and whose forehead was bleeding all the time.

Then he moved his eyes to the blades that had piled up in a charred pile of scrap metal in the break room overhaul yard.

An unpleasant smell came from time to time.

Zhu Shao took a deep breath: "I thought it was a habit for you to speak freely. It seems that I was wrong. It turns out that your brain is not good."

"It's not my fault at all!" The bald head weakly defended, "It's rotten teeth. He said that the one who piloted the mecha was the Omega from last time, and the bounty is as high as 50. How could I not be tempted?"

"Whatever, it doesn't make sense for you to explain to me. The sharp blade was just put down for us to test and use. In less than half a month, you have been destroyed like this. Think about how to explain it to the headquarters." Zhu Shao waved his hands indifferently.

He ignored the pale face of the bald head and called out Ling Yue's materials.

"It's interesting." He said to his assistant, "It's time to fight this Lingyue. And the bonus is quite generous, isn't it? 100 million..."

The assistant asked him, "What do you mean?"

"Challenge Ling Yue." Zhu Shao said, he looked at the time, the early morning has passed, and a new day has begun, "Life and death."
