Endless Silver Machine

At the end of the day, Aika and Ruby returned to the Protoss Palace on the return Tusikong. What awaited Aika was the thorny eyes of Ling and Wei Xi.

"Then, I'll go to onee-sama first and tell her that I'm back. Good night, big brother."

"Walk slowly..."

The two glances behind her were like thorns on her back, and Aika sincerely hoped that the time to say goodbye to Ruby could be extended indefinitely.

It wasn't until Ruby's petite figure disappeared into the palace hall that Aika turned around to face Ling and Wei Xi, who hadn't seen each other for a day.

"So, now can you explain where you and Ruby went and what you did during the day."

Ling was crouched at the waist, and her left foot kept tapping the ground as if reflecting her inner irritability, but on the surface she pretended not to be shaken at all.

"Brother Aika...please don't lie, lying is useless..."

Even Wei Xi, who had never blamed Aika, clenched her fists in front of her chest, raising her head slightly and staring at him as if she wanted to take out all Aika's secrets.

If you want to talk about why it turned into such a scene of embarrassment, it was because the scene where Aika and Ruby were walking down from the Tusi Sky was bumped into by Ling and Wei Xi who came here to pick up the plane.

At that time, Ruby was hugging Aika's arm tightly, and there was no sense of distance between the two. They were like a stupid couple in love, showing off their affection in public.

The innocent Ruby herself probably didn't pay attention to this atmosphere that could easily lead to misunderstanding. At that time, Aika was also completely tightly clamped on her arm. At a young age, she was already as good as Letika's teacher. Attracted by the abundant fruits, you could even feel the violent heartbeat in her chest from that distance.

That special softness of Ruby... it wasn't just my arms that got stuck in, there were more indescribable things.

Is this what is called family lineage? If this trend continues, Ruby's child will most likely develop into an "innocent male killer".

He was just thinking about this and that, so Aika didn't notice that there were two pairs of bright eyes witnessing the whole thing.

How to explain it? Aika wasn't sure that it was because he cheered for Ruby in the underground cave that he narrowed the distance between them, but other than that, he couldn't think of anything else worth mentioning that he had done to her. .

During the remaining time after leaving the underground cave, Aika basically spent time communicating with the Protoss investigators on the ground, mainly focusing on technical problems encountered.

This abandoned steel factory combines two technologies, magic technology and light core. The bottlenecks encountered when Aika was away can now be partially solved. The investigators are all grateful to Aika for arriving in time at this time.

This kind of professional topic was something that Ruby, who didn't understand at all, could interrupt, so she sat quietly and watched Aika interact with others.

Aika didn't know that in the eyes of Ruby, whose passionate enthusiasm had not yet cooled down, Aika, who could talk about very professional topics with such confidence, was very handsome, more handsome than anyone else, and it was not because he was addicted to it. He felt dissatisfied that he was being ignored among those cold machines.

Or maybe it was because she was yearning for Aika that she didn't even realize that she was actually being left out.

Of course, Aika didn't notice the change that occurred in the girl's heart in just a few hours. He only knew that since returning to Tusikong, the distance between him and Ruby was no longer that far away.

Back to the dilemma Aika faces now. It's impossible to explain nothing, but even if you tell them everything about the whole day, will they really believe it?

After trying this...

"What you are saying now is fine. What I want to know is what part you are hiding."

"Brother Aika...please don't hide it, hiding it is useless..."

Isn’t this really not feasible? But he had nothing to confess other than to make up facts that didn't exist.

The evening breeze under the setting sun brought the fragrance of flowers in the palace courtyard, and from somewhere came a sound similar to the chirping of a returning bird.

——Whoever it is, it would be nice to be able to pass by and say hello now!

This is Aika's most sincere and last wish before this unknown night comes.

Since personally entrusting Anjie to the Knights of the Purple Rose and taking her away from the suburban castle, Zi Ming Yiela has completely lost contact with the outside world.

There was no one who could help her contact anyone outside the suburban castle, and her weak body eroded by the uncontrollable candle dragon molten gold did not allow her to climb over the city wall and take the initiative to go to the outside world.

Although there is also a way to bribe the maid who comes into the room every day. But there is no one among them who can be trusted like Anjie. If an accident occurs, more innocent people may be involved.

Zi Ming has been sitting on the balcony since the morning, leaning on the mechanical wheelchair and looking at the clear sky.

The imperial capital is extremely hot today. The cumulus clouds scattered in the sky like cotton balls reflect the bright sunshine, and the clouds are surrounded by a golden glow.

As time goes by, the slowly moving clouds merge into tall cloud mountains, the boundaries gradually become blurred, and the golden brilliance is gradually replaced by black, just like the snow-white canvas is constantly being overturned and densely soaked. .

Soon, the storm will come.

There was a polite knock on the door, and the maid delivered a letter to Zi Ming's table.

After carefully informing Zi Ming, who had his back turned to her, she bowed and exited the dormitory.

After waiting for the maid to leave the dormitory, Zi Ming turned around in his wheelchair, pushed across the open balcony door to the table in the house, and opened the white envelope printed with Senate beeswax.

The Senate has always used this method to convey to her things that Zi Ming must know, and Zi Ming is unwilling to face them in person, so this method also ensures a balanced relationship between the two parties.

Looking at the content written on the parchment, Zi Ming could not conceal his inner surprise.

"Your Majesty the Emperor is coming back..."

The imperial brother referred to here is of course not the second prince Philip Yiela who is currently acting for Zi Ming, but the first prince of the Bisi Empire who is away all year round.

The man who is now known as the "strongest in the empire" leads his own team of knights and senior scholars to explore the ruins he is interested in. If the information written in the letter is true, it must be big news that shocked August.

The man who symbolizes freedom may be late, but he will never be absent.

This letter mainly informs Zi Ming of important matters, which is that there will be a welcoming dinner when the first prince returns. Zi Ming had to attend that dinner. This seemed to be the intention not of the Senate but of the First Prince himself.

The situation is in turmoil now, and only a handful of people have yet to take a stand. The First Prince is one of them. Until now, he has no clear position. Of course, the Senate will not give up any opportunity to win over that man.

This is a rare opportunity to go out. For Her Royal Highness, who has been sleeping as a vase in the boudoir of this castle for so long, it is naturally like a ray of light from the apocalypse.

Putting down the envelope in his hand, Zi Ming adjusted his excitement at the moment.

Within a few seconds, the maid waiting outside the bedroom politely knocked on the door and walked in.

"I want to prepare to attend the banquet and tell the Senate that I want to prepare a new dress. The choice of costume designer must be made by Master Aurora, who has the highest reputation in our empire. I want her to come here in person to measure my size."

"knew."

Allowing unrelated people to enter or leave this suburban castle must obtain the consent of the monitors, and naturally must be reviewed by the Senate.

Before the outbreak of the August Rebellion, the dresses of the two princesses were made by Master Aurora. But she had never been to Augustus in person, and the finished products were sent to the hands of the two princesses by mail. However, considering her reputation in the empire's design industry, she did not respect the famous princesses enough. Qing was blamed.

No one in August knows the true identity of Master Aurora. They only know that she once only engaged in various design works among the private sector. The value of her works was gradually discovered by the design industry and she gained her current reputation.

All orders will be delivered to an ordinary tailor shop in the imperial capital. There were no working clerks in that shop, and there was no display of finished products. Master Aurora's few finished products either became collections of princes and nobles, or became exhibits in major exhibitions. There are only a few autonomous robots in the store taking orders and cleaning the store. There is an unwritten rule that customers can only approach the entrance at most.

An unexpected opportunity brought Anjie into contact with the true identity of Master Aurora.

In the past, the two maids who were princesses took the measurements and then filled out the order, but now that Anjie was not around, Zi Ming did not allow anyone else to take the measurements for her.

Banquet dress is equivalent to another face of the royal family. Since the Senate had to allow her to attend, they naturally had to decorate the vase perfectly in front of the public, so the request for Master Aurora to come to the suburban castle in person must also be agreed to.

Zi Ming finally took the first step forward while An Jie was not around.
