Counterattack [Interstellar] - Chapter 108

As soon as they ordered Bettina to be imprisoned, Auston sent Cecil to notify Allen and ordered everyone to contact the News Department immediately to prepare a report on the succession of the new emperor.

“Is it… a little rushed?” Mrs. Jenny was dumbfounded. “Now there is chaos everywhere, and the rules of succession have not been drawn up. According to the past, the crown prince will start to prepare these things six months before his succession. There is not so much time, nor can it be too hasty, at least…”

Mrs. Jennie replied: “At least let them rush out a dress, and let the Information Department write an appropriate speech for His Royal Highness.”

Cecilton bowed his head and said: “His Majesty, your Majesty means the sooner the better. You know, many people are urging your Majesty to explain this time. Your Majesty… He is not in a good mood now. , I hope His Royal Highness can solve these problems.”

Mrs. Jenny was both angry and anxious when she heard this. Prince Adair supported his wife’s shoulders from behind and said softly: “Now the situation is special. Of course, we can’t be as pretentious as before. People everywhere are in panic, and we need someone to come forward and clarify everything. , Let everyone feel at ease, as for the speech…”

Prince Adair looked at Allen, and Allen said lightly: “I will play on the spot.”

Cecil breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: “Then I’ll go and ask the press department to make arrangements.”

Allen turned his head to look at Pei Yao, and before he could speak, Pei Yao bowed his head first: “I want to attend with you, please rest assured, when everything is over, I will be at ease and will not worry you again.”

Allen furrowed his brows and felt dull pain in his heart. He nodded for a while: “Okay.”

It has been two days and nights since Pei Xuan’s video came out and Alan appeared in the public again.

“We temporarily suspended all the programs, and they are all used to broadcast your speech below.” Cecil, who had prepared everything, walked to the lounge and bowed to Alan, “His Royal Highness, just received the news, the House will tell you. The matter that has been marked by the Crown Princess is very disagreeable, you see…”

Alan was squeezing a terrible rage in his heart, and he said coldly: “Tell them, I’m so self-contained, I can’t change my succession, and I don’t want to cause too much trouble for myself. It’s best to shut up now. Also, the royal family has been They know exactly what they want, and they understand why they still bite on me even knowing that Anthony has passed away. They want the royal family to make concessions to give the House more rights and tell them that it’s impossible.”

The murderous intent in Allen’s eyes flashed away, and he sneered, “Furthermore, I’m already the most controversial prince in empire history, and the only person who cares will be sent away. I really don’t care much anymore. I am not afraid of death. Just keep doing it. I stand a thousand renowns on the wall, and be strong when I have no desires. The princess said this to me before, and it is right to describe it now.”

Allen used to have a bad temper, but now that he is more hostile due to the separation from Pei Yao, Cecil, as an ordinary person, can clearly feel the strong mental pressure on Allen. He secretly took a breath and leaned over. Said: “Yes.”

“Wait…” Allen closed his eyes, “Where is the prince?”

Cecil hesitated and said: “Originally, he arranged for His Royal Highness to be in the small lounge at the back of the conference hall, but His Royal Highness insisted on going to the front. He… His Royal Highness said that he didn’t care about the reporters, and he wanted to see you for a while. “

In the end, Cecil’s voice changed a bit. As a close friend of Auston for many years, Cecil was absolutely loyal to Auston, but today he can’t help but stand for the most respected royal couple. The husband was sad, he adjusted his emotions and bowed his head and said: “Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness will sit with Her Royal Highness Princess Jenny, and our guards are always on guard, absolutely no one can disturb your Royal Highness.”

Allen was speechless for a while, and after a while he whispered: “Look at him, he came with an injury.”

Cecil bowed his head: “Yes.”

Allen tried not to think about Pei Yao, and stood up and said, “Tell them, it’s time to start.”

Although the incident happened suddenly, there were still a lot of reporters in the conference hall. The flashing lights in the conference hall did not stop as soon as Allen stepped into the conference hall. The guard stopped.

Allen walked to the meeting hall without looking aside, adjusted the microphone and said lightly: “First of all, I apologize to everyone on behalf of the royal family for the various accidents that have happened frequently in the past two days.”

Allen took a step back, bowed slightly, and walked back to the microphone after a moment.

“His Royal Highness did not look ashamed, nor did he weep bitterly.”

In the Palace of Everda, Prince Adair was accompanied by Mrs. Jeanne by his side. He turned his head to look at Auston’s expression, and said cautiously: “In fact, your Royal Highness is in very bad health now, but just now He carefully sorted out his appearance, and refused to let others see his depressed and weak appearance. This way…Although he can’t win unnecessary sympathy, this kind of attitude of neither humble nor arrogant can win everyone’s favor.”

Aston looked at Allen in the virtual screen of the large study room with mixed feelings, and after a while he relaxed and said slowly: “After all, I have experienced a lot of things, and now I am not going to lose my mind.”

Prince Adair nodded: “Yes, His Royal Highness is an orthodox royal family. Not everyone can have this self-esteem and reserve.”

On the screen, Allen adjusted the microphone again after apologizing, and looked directly at the stage and said: “Now I will answer a few questions that everyone is very concerned about in the past few days.”

“The first is the video two days ago. There are still many places in the loop now, right? I believe you should have watched it more than once. I will not repeat the content and just reply… for now. According to the situation, all the content in the video is true.” As soon as the words were released, Allen looked calm, “This is indeed what happened in the battle between the Empire and Leistine thirty years ago. In this regard, His Majesty the Emperor, the supreme commander, had already admitted that this was the decision he made to protect the central forces.”

Allen paused and continued: “Your Majesty is fully aware of the stupidity and cruelty of the original decision, and is willing to pay for it. After discussions between the Royal Family and the House, we regretfully decided to respect Your Majesty’s wishes-Your Majesty Will take the blame and abdicate, and never get involved in political affairs, in order to comfort the soul of the expeditionary army buried in a foreign country.”

Allen’s words exploded like a photon cannon in the conference hall. The guard had to give warnings several times before reluctantly maintaining order. Allen quietly looked at the people and quieted down again in the conference hall and said: “Your Majesty hopes that the remaining soldiers of the Expeditionary Army can see his regret and stop retaliating against the main star, and I myself…”

“Although it hasn’t been in the war, but as the empire’s crown prince, I hope to apologize to the expeditionary army on behalf of the empire.” Allen bowed again and said solemnly, “At the same time, I also hope that the existing soldiers of the expeditionary army can give us a chance to compensate. Put down the hatred for the time being and return to the main star to reunite with your relatives. The empire will not hold you accountable for this operation. So far, the empire has never looked at you anymore.”

Mrs. Jenny in the audience nodded secretly. Allen obviously was constantly apologizing for Alston, but he had already said very clearly in the secret-it happened thirty years ago, when he was not born at all. Always has nothing to do with him.

“After Your Majesty the Emperor abdicates, I, as the first heir, will take over His Majesty’s crown and scepter.” Allen ignored the uncontrollable excitement in the conference hall and said, “Next is the second question to be answered today. It’s-a question about whether I am a guide myself.”

Everyone in the hall was quiet a lot, and they wanted to see Alan through and look at him with scorching eyes. Alan looked down the stage, hurriedly rushed to the ceremony officer at the venue before he got up, bowed and presented a folder to Alan. , The big stone fell in Allen’s heart, put the folder aside, and continued: “The rumors are correct. I am indeed a guide.”

Before the voice fell, the frequency of the flashing lights in the conference hall increased a lot. Allen’s expression remained unchanged, and said: “As to why this fact is hidden, it is not as rumored to deliberately deceive the people. The royal family deliberately hides the guide. I’ll wait and say, frankly, there is no use hiding a guide. The imperial royal family has always been strong and has not yet used a guide to please someone.”

Many people couldn’t help nodding. Allen picked up the file just now and said, “It was because of a secret experiment that this situation was not disclosed.”

“I believe many people still remember that I was sent to Apollo for recuperation ten years ago. At that time, the royal family declared that I was frail. In fact, I was a guide experimenter who conducted experiments in Apollo for ten years.”

This time even Mrs. Jenny couldn’t sit still. She looked around in disbelief. What is Allen talking about?

“As early as a few decades ago, Queen Marian proposed that the current guide system is the direct cause of the decrease in the number of guides year by year. The Empire has been studying this, and the research process has repeatedly verified Queen Marian’s Views, and unexpected discoveries, guides can also be stimulated with special abilities.”

“Research is limited to theory. Research institutes have made requests to your Majesty more than once, asking your Majesty to agree to recruit volunteers from Baita College, but the request has been rejected again and again. I believe everyone can understand that the experiment is risky. Yes, and the guide resources are too precious, and your Majesty cannot afford this loss.”

“This situation was known before I was a crown prince… that is, I knew it before I awakened as a guide, so after awakening as a guide, I immediately pleaded with your majesty to deprive me of my crown prince status and use me as an experimental subject. For research by the Confidential Research Institute.”

There was an uproar.

Allen took a deep breath and said: “I did think that I was no longer qualified to inherit the throne. Whether it was to understand Queen Marian’s long-term wish, or to contribute the last strength to the empire, I am willing to accept it. experiment.”

“Maybe some people will be suspicious of this, thinking that this is my crisis public relations, it is a rhetoric for responding to the current situation.” Allen handed the document in hand to an attendant next to him, “This is the record of the experiment I have accepted since entering Apollo. Years and processes cannot be faked.”

Allen seemed unintentionally said: “Because there were several deaths during the period, and the records also show, I don’t want to use this to win sympathy, but now in order to clarify the facts, I have to show weakness to everyone.”

The attendant scanned the document and passed it to everyone. Allen said, “Maybe some people still have doubts about it. Then I myself, as the first successful experiment, is the best evidence.”

There was thunder on the ground, and everyone had no intention of looking at the file. They turned their heads and looked at Allen in amazement. Allen nodded slightly: “Yes, fortunately, the experiment was successful.”

“Of course, this is also evidence…For my Taipan Snake’s special ability, I am still detaining Alice, and the injuries suffered by the quantum beasts of several sentinels who were instigated by Camplin to disadvantage me are the best. Prove.”

“The creation of Alice and the establishment of a new order of guides began to take shape in my mind after the experiment was successful. Therefore, when I learned that the main star was in a guide crisis a year ago, I decided to return to the main star and try to create the heart of Queen Marian. Ideal Guide Academy.”

“Fortunately, this year’s hard work was not in vain. Based on my ten-year experience in Apollo, Alice has successfully cultivated many guides with special abilities. Nowadays, there are students such as Lean. And the results will be announced in detail later.”

Pei Yao’s fingertips trembled in the audience, from awakening, to Apollo’s recuperation, to the founding of Alice, and to today…Just now, Allen has connected everything in a tightly connected manner, without revealing a trace!

The situation reversed instantly.
