Interstellar Fairy Tale

Under power and absolute domination, emphasizing the self will become a sin.

Shang Ping read this sentence from a chronicle of the golden empire. This kind of paranoia and toughness above freedom, but taking it for granted, shocked Shang Ping for a long time.

The next day the emperor and his party arrived in Holhold, Shang Ping only slept for less than three hours and refused the emperor's false invitation. Shang Ping even prepared to be locked up again. After all, Solan Adrien Xi has a criminal record. Shang Ping still remembers the transparent glass cover and golden birdcage.

Unexpectedly, Soran Edrich did not punish Shang Ping in any form. Although the young emperor seemed unhappy, he still performed his duties according to the planned itinerary.

While Shang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, he still did not dare to relax. If it was the previous Shang Ping, there would never have been such a way of doing things. This kind of behavior that betrayed the integrity of the soldiers has always been the incompetence and shamefulness emphasized by the Madoff Military Academy.

Sitting on the snow-white long-haired carpet, leaning against the window edge inlaid with enamel stones, Shang Ping was immersed in a void of thoughts. He was very confused, not knowing the road ahead, and fearing that he would change without knowing it. .

He began to learn to hide his true emotions, although it wasn't obvious.

Father, is this what you want?

Shang Ping closed his eyes, unable to convince himself, and also understood that he couldn't go back to the past. He had experienced too much, and forcibly pulled him out of the ivory tower he built himself. Once in a one-man fighter jet into the enemy, it's gone.

"Accept the reality..."

With a sigh, Shang Ping threw the reader aside at will.

Soran Edrich was busy meeting members of the Yuga family who were in charge of Holhold, and Shang Ping was free all day. However, due to the consideration of the emperor's safety and security, the elevator has been completely disabled in the Hallhold Governor's Mansion. Anyone who wants to approach the emperor's floor, or go out from this floor, will be strictly checked. Shang Ping tried once, trying to persuade the guards to let him go outside the Governor's Mansion to take a look. Of course, he didn't expect to go out by himself, but this very reasonable request was also rejected.

"Isn't it okay to have an inspection?"

"Sorry, your status is special and you need the emperor's permission to be released."

Shang Ping just thought about it, then gave up, stayed in the room obediently, and continued to read the Chronicle of the Empire. Knowing that Shang Ping had fully understood Holhold's information, Solan Edrich raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then his attendant sent several times the information to Shang Ping. Then, there were two attendants from the great nobles, which made Shang Ping very nervous. Regarding the two guys who seemed to measure their words and deeds with a ruler, Shang Ping expressed his incompetence. It was only now that he realized how gracious the etiquette teacher Soran Edrich had found him.

The knock on the door rang regularly, and Shang Ping looked up at the sky, but all he saw was the ornately decorated ceiling.

"Hello! His Majesty the Emperor invites you to attend tonight's banquet."

Shang Ping rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, and he could only smile and invite the attendant holding the dress and decorations to enter the door, look, how well he behaved! Shang Ping began to laugh at himself.

At the same time, Marshal Novi has already begun to formulate matters concerning cooperation with the six hundred and seventy-eighth Huxing. Most of Soran Edrich's direct descendants are iron-blooded soldiers, and Count Reichate and other real power nobles in the palace also disdain such transactions. , only Novi and the Yuga family behind him are suitable for more contact with Goodwill.

"Ambition, desire? Desire, the rightful desire for power. As long as it is allowed, I will give you everything you desire."

Soran Edrich's promise was like poison wrapped in sugar, but Novi swallowed it willingly.

"Your Majesty, Holhold will dedicate all your loyalty to you."

Novi is aware of current affairs, just like nurturing his family. The power stone that the emperor gave him, and the transaction with the six hundred and seventy-eighth governor of the star, were all revealed to him, and he had no chance to regret or refuse.

"very good."

Soran Edrich's blue eyes finally slipped into a smile. He didn't mind Novi's reservations about him. As long as this man was loyal to the empire, he would get everything he wanted.

The routine interviews and conversations came to an end, and the banquet hosted by the emperor was put on the agenda. Of course, a single emperor will always attract a lot of attention, which is completely different from the eagerness of chasing the person he loves. As long as he can be brought back to Ivan Summer Palace by Soran Edrich, even if it is only a short-term lover status, it will give himself and his family Bring great glory.

Shang Ping didn't know the power of this and the turbulent undercurrents under the table, but with an attitude of completing the task, he dressed himself up and walked into the banquet hall behind Soran Edrich. He still can't pinpoint his position, is he a hostage? or something else? Soran Edrich didn't tell him explicitly. The emperor allowed Shang Ping to stand beside him, occasionally took Shang Ping's hand, and even danced the opening dance with Shang Ping. , envy and all sorts of inexplicable emotions.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you didn't want to kill me?"

Soran Edrich shook the crystal glass gently and drank the bright red wine in one go. He then lifted Shang Ping's chin, his lips wet with the wine, and fed the sweet and spicy liquid one by one. into the mouth of Shang Ping.

The stunned gasping sound was covered up by the music, but it couldn't hide the jaws that seemed to fall to the ground.

"Who is that?"

"The emperor's lover?"

"Find out his identity!"

"Could it be from the Drey family?"

All kinds of whispers and speculations did not affect the emperor's sudden good mood. Looking at Shang Ping who seemed to be frightened, Soran Edrich wiped Shang Ping's lips gracefully and smiled softly. , "This is a two-hundred-year-old Chardonnay, does it taste good?"

Shang Ping was still a little stunned, and it was really hard to believe that this man who looked like a glacier would act like this. He was almost penetrated by the sight falling on him, does this man really want him to die?

The strange silence was interrupted by the sweet smell of the cake. The fruit decorated on the cake was the fruit Langa produced in the main star of Holhold. This fruit has a sweet taste and contains an extremely rare nutritional element that can enhance people's physique. and longevity. It is a pity that this kind of fruit cannot be artificially planted, and it only grows on a very high mountain in Holhold.

The price of these pastries that appeared at the banquet was enough to match a medium-sized cosmos fleet. It can be seen how much the Yuga family attaches great importance to the arrival of Soran Edrich.

When everyone at the banquet expressed their admiration, Shang Ping's eyes were attracted by the pastry chef behind the dining car. It wasn't to say how handsome and charming the man was. He was very ordinary, with a medium build and a very ordinary appearance. Hair, looks like an ordinary pastry chef, but on his right thumb, is wearing a gem-encrusted ring!

It's unusual that no pastry chef wears this kind of jewelry when making pastries!

Shang Ping sensed something was wrong, and similarly, Soran Edrich's attendant moved to the emperor's side without a trace. The pastry chef was suddenly in trouble. He pulled out the horizontal axis used to propel the dining cart, and at the same time took out a round object from under the cake base, and skillfully assembled it into a strange small weapon. When one end of the black hole on the horizontal axis was aimed at the emperor, everyone discovered that this was a modified small laser cannon! This modified shell can easily escape the inspection of the guards.

"catch him!"

The people in the banquet hall did not panic, including the young lady, and the closest ones even tried to subdue the man! But the man's actions were extremely fast, and his skills should not be underestimated. After several failed attacks, the guards and attendants who heard the news rushed up, finally took the weapon and pushed the man to the ground!

The man ruthlessly broke one hand away from the guard and pointed the ring of his thumb at the emperor! The attack was still unsuccessful, the man let out an unwilling roar, but Shang Ping still felt that something was wrong! This is too deliberate, the man seems to have deliberately revealed flaws from the beginning.

Until an inconspicuous guard suddenly pointed the muzzle of the laser gun at Soran Edrich in the chaos!

Shang Ping didn't have time to think, grabbed the laser gun of the attendant next to him, propped on the edge of the table with one hand, jumped over the crowd, kicked a side, and lifted the guard who was caught off guard to the ground, shot two bursts, the guard twitched He fell to the ground and took his last breath.

"Why did you kill him?!" The captain of the guard turned over the body of the guard. It was a familiar face with a terrifying expression on his face. "You can ask for a confession!"

Shang Ping glanced blankly at the angry captain of the guard, said nothing, and walked back to Soran Edrich. He is still contradicting, maybe he shouldn't save this man, but he has to do it, if Soran Edrich dies, even if he is injured, he will not get a good result.

Without him, when a group of people will face trial and sentence, if one of them has no entanglement of interests with the others, and has a hostile status, then he will be the best scapegoat.

Shang Ping did not want this result, he no longer simply believed that justice and justice would win, and made a choice for judgment. How sad, but it could save his life. He doesn't want to die, he wants to live well, better than anyone else!

Soran Edrich looked at Shang Ping, who came to stand beside him calmly, stroked Shang Ping's black hair lightly, and smiled.

The captain of the guard was still angry, as if anger could cover up his dereliction of duty. The emperor's guard frowned to stop his noise, "The assassin is still alive."

So, don't worry about not being able to ask anything.
