Counterattack [Interstellar] - Chapter 109

In the study, Aston looked at Alan, who looked as usual on the screen, with mixed feelings. Prince Adair was hesitant to say a few times, and finally couldn’t help but exclaimed, “If it’s not that the incident happened suddenly, if it’s not that your Highness is on the scene. Play, I really want to suspect that His Royal Highness prepared this speech a few months ago. He is not overly lyrical. He does not elaborate on the losses he has suffered. The important thing is that there is no flaw in the back and forth, this…”

Prince Adair didn’t say the following sentence. If he didn’t know the inside story, he would almost believe every word Allen said.

“It’s just.” Prince Adair looked at Orston anxiously, and said in a low voice, “The matter about your Royal Highness may not be so satisfactory. The people may be able to forgive Pei Xuan for the frequent accidents. And helpless, but the nobles and the House now have deep opinions on the Crown Princess, and may not be easy to deal with, and the Crown Princess has difficulties in concealing the identity of the guide. You can understand, but they are privately combined…”

“Privately married?” Alston suddenly turned to look at Prince Adair, frowning, “Who told you they were married?”

Now Prince Adair was also stunned, and he said dumbly: “Isn’t it? This is the confession of the Crown Prince himself.”

Alston instantly understood Pei Yao’s intentions, and said with a sullen smile: “Pei Yao…I originally thought he would anger Alan, but I didn’t expect him to be even more desperate.”

Prince Adair became more puzzled and hesitated: “Do you mean it? Probably not. The prince and the princess have a deep affection and get along with each other day and night… and the prince has already acquiesced in what the princess said.”

Alston kept shaking his head, only feeling ridiculous: “Allen will definitely not let Pei Yao stay and suffer. At this time, don’t take the opportunity to send him out and wait for some time.”

Only then did Prince Adair understand Alan’s intentions, and there was a chuckle in his heart. He knew Mrs. Jenny’s position, and he had to go to Mrs. Jenny subconsciously. Unfortunately, Alan did not give him enough time. On the screen, Alan After everyone talked a little less, he continued: “The guide’s question has come to an end. Now I will answer the question whether I have been marked.”

The meeting room quieted down for an instant, and Allen’s voice was calm: “I want to apologize to everyone for this. I have indeed established a permanent bond with Her Royal Highness.”

Everyone had expected it, but it was not surprising. Although private association is a felony, it seems that it is not so unforgivable in combination with the secret experiment Allen said before… After all, Allen accepted the high risk factor for the empire. It’s very normal for him to be outside the White Tower. It’s normal to be in love with a lover, but it’s not so fair to other sentinels. Many people have worked hard for a lifetime and never got the right to blind date, but Pei Yao easily got a guide. Thinking that he was Pei Xuan’s son, many people saw his eyes become more complicated.

“Here I need to clarify some people’s slander of the Crown Prince.” A dark eye flashed in Allen’s eyes, and he paused, “I don’t know for what purpose some people openly claim that the Crown Princess is an undercover agent dispatched by the Expeditionary Force to the main star. “

As soon as Allen changed his official tone, his voice was sharp: “First of all, the crown prince has never seen his parents again since he was seven years old. The person spreading this kind of rumors thinks that Pei Xuan has the ability to tell his son before the expedition. In the future, do you think that Pei Yao, who is only seven years old, can understand Pei Xuan’s instructions and put it into action?”

“Furthermore, the princess has served as the emperor’s personal guard for many years. Over the years, he has been highly valued by the emperor. If he knows in advance, then…” Allen paused deeply, “We probably have no chance to experience today. All sorts of things.”

“Since I have chosen to take the throne at this time, I am ready to face all problems, but this “all problems” does not include other people attached to me, the princess, if you find such rumors and Defamation.” Allen’s gaze was scorching, “The royal family will pursue it to the end and will not tolerate it.”

Many reporters in the conference hall broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this.

“Excuse me…” Taking advantage of this gap, a young reporter bravely raised his hand and gestured, “According to the imperial law, the privately combined sentry and guide will be separated for ten years in exile, then you and your Royal Highness…”

Alan’s eyes were cold, and when he swept over the reporter, the reporter couldn’t help being timid, but he was instructed by the veteran of the House. He must take this opportunity to let Alan speak in public. He bit the bullet and continued: “You and your Royal Highness Will you also accept…this punishment…” The reporter’s voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was almost inaudible.

Allen’s thin lips pressed slightly and did not answer. The conference hall fell into an awkward moment. Cecil gritted his teeth secretly and stood up and said, “Sorry, the questioning session has not yet arrived, wait…”

“No wait.” Allen interrupted Cecil with a clear voice, “This is not a press conference, and there is no questioning session. I will explain all the questions that need to be answered, and I will not respond to the rest. “

Allen looked at the scared reporter and said, “I have no obligation to explain to you and the person behind you who instructed you to ask me questions.”

Allen retracted his gaze and said indifferently: “The reporter who came with this purpose can now leave.”

Mrs. Jenny in the audience suddenly felt a sense of pleasure. Although Allen’s attitude is easy to offend some people, because of this situation, there is no strong attitude that will only be restrained and restrained by others, especially some people know. Allen is a guide with ulterior motives, thinking that he can provoke the young prince at will.

Mrs. Jennie suddenly remembered what Allen had said when dealing with rude reporters before: I love listening, not listening.

Mrs. Jenny, who had been worrying for many days, opened her first smile in the past few days. This sentence was just right at this time.

And Allen, after frightening everyone present, as if nothing happened, continued: “I don’t think I need to elaborate on why a bond is established privately. As the love comes, there is a relationship between me and the prince concubine. Emotional, this is the only reason.”

“In this regard, talk about the private combination in the guide protection regulations. The starting point of this regulation was to protect guides and crack down on black market trading guides. I strongly support this, but I cannot agree with the penalties. The guide is also a victim, why should he be punished?”

“Of course, this is not the only situation governed by this regulation, as well as the situation of the prince and I, who violated the guide protection regulations and were combined without formalities. Of course, this punishment is very deterrent, so that a couple has established a bond. The guides and sentries of the empire were separated into exile for ten years, which cut off the water source for the two and took away the air on which they depended. The empire has received more than 3,000 guides and sentries for this punishment in the past 30 years, and most of them are in the empire. We have lost our lives in the past ten years. In other words, this rule alone has cost us nearly a thousand guides.”

“And what is the root of all this? Excluding black market transactions, behind every case of private combination is a hidden guide. In the final analysis, our guide management system makes guides reluctant to enter the White Tower, and Alice is now The efforts made are also to make the guide no longer afraid of entering the academy, and they will no longer be deprived of their freedom.”

“No one is born to be slaughtered.” Allen fixedly looked ahead and slowly said, “This is a word left to me by Queen Marian when she is still alive, and I would like to encourage everyone here.”

Thinking about Allen’s experience in just 20 years, and then recalling the words of Queen Marian, people suddenly felt a bit tragic.

After the conversation, the audience was silent.

“Some people may think that I am justifying myself, but unfortunately, I am not in this mood now. Before coming to the stage, His Royal Highness said to me that everyone should pay the price for their mistakes. After today, the body In a high position, I can only forgive others, and no longer have the ability to be forgiven.” Alan’s eyes never fell on Pei Yao from beginning to end. At this time, as long as he saw Pei Yao, he would change his mind even at the first glance. Allen took a deep breath and said, “I and the princess will be punished. After the gunshot wound on the princess is healed, I will exile the princess.”

No one expected that Allen suddenly changed the front, and there was a complex sigh in the conference hall. Allen continued in a deep voice: “Next, as the 37th emperor of the Norman Empire, I will announce the first place after enthroned. Article will.”

Everyone was stunned and got up quickly. There was a mess of clothes and materials in the conference hall. Allen uttered a word and said: “The empire will permanently abolish the law of exile and private combination of sentinel guides. I, Norman Allen and Queen Peiyao, Will be the last pair of abilities in the empire to be exiled due to private union.”

“The above content will be the emperor’s will and will be engraved in the laws of the Norman Empire for a long time.”

Chapter 110:

Miraculously, the strife and confusion over the past few days subsided instantly after Allen’s short succession report. The former Expeditionary Army commander Pei Xuan acquiesced to Allen’s arrangements, and the first emperor Auston also agreed with Allen. Even the House of Representatives is a little confused this time.

“His Royal Highness has contacted Admiral Pei Xuan before this to prevent changes. The Admiral thinks that His Majesty was forced to abdicate by His Royal Highness. He originally apologized to His Royal Highness because of Alice’s affairs. A big favor, of course, will support your Royal Highness 100%.” ​​Prince Adair closed a shawl for Mrs. Jenny, and said with a stunned laugh, “No…not the prince, but the emperor.”

Mrs. Jenny lowered her head and smiled: “After screaming for so many years, it’s a bit unaccustomed to retransmit suddenly, and I always lose courtesy before Your Majesty… In fact, Pei Xuan’s attitude is not difficult to understand. Aston has already abdicated, and he has taken revenge. , He knows that Her Royal Highness is in an embarrassing situation now, and of course he will not be aggressive anymore. After all, he still cares about Her Royal Highness, but Alston…he has changed a lot in the past half month.”

“Your Majesty has worked so hard for many years. Of course I am a little uncomfortable when I am suddenly idle.” Prince Adair knew that his wife had always been cold to Auston, but in fact he still cared about her brother, so he thoughtfully said, “Wait a few more days. , Let’s invite him to live in the manor for a while.”

Mrs. Jenny felt warm, smiled and nodded.

While they were talking, they walked into the new imperial palace-Amanthal Palace.

Prince Adair handed the saber around his waist to the attendant in the palace, and the two followed the attendant and slowly went upstairs along the spiral staircase.

“His Majesty.”

Prince Adair bowed, and Mrs. Jenny curtseyed, and Alan put down the documents in front of the French window and smiled faintly: “Auntie, uncle.”

In the short ten days since he took the throne, Allen has dealt with more than 20 members of the royal family in a light or serious manner. Several of Allen’s cousins ​​who had been eyeing the throne before are now exiled and sent to exile. The royal family in the main star was cleaned up for a while. According to the law, Mrs. Jenny’s children also had the right to inherit. Therefore, Mrs. Jenny was still anxious for a long time. Fortunately, Alan thought about the friendship with her for many years, not only did not have it. What to do with her children, and to take advantage of the exchange of blood to hand over more military power to Prince Adair. Mrs. Jeanne’s youngest son was also exceptionally promoted to the Amanthir Palace as a guard officer. So far, Jennifer The talent is completely relieved.

“he…”

Allen suddenly didn’t know what to say. Mrs. Jenny was very careful, and instantly understood what Allen meant, and said: “His Royal Highness is recovering very well. I just visited him this morning, and the wounds of His Highness have basically healed. I am in a good mood, and asked me to greet you on his behalf.”

After that day, Allen arranged the best medical resources for Pei Yao, but never saw Pei Yao again. He only contacted Pei Yao’s attending doctor once every morning and evening to confirm that Pei Yao’s condition was more than a dozen in a row. God, Mrs. Jenny was worried that Pei Yao would be sad at first. She has always indicated that Alan is very busy now, but he has been paying attention to Pei Yao’s body, but Pei Yao did not resent Alan as she thought. On the contrary, Pei Yao Anran accepted all the arrangements made by Allen, and did not shy away from Allen in the conversation. He occasionally chatted and asked Mrs. Jenny to persuade Allen to pay attention to his health and not to be too tired.

Mrs. Jenny felt wronged for Pei Yao, hesitated and said, “That day…it was the day you went to condolences the soldiers injured in this accident. Her Royal Highness got up very early and changed into a set of neat clothes. He…”

“Jenny.” Prince Adair frowned. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Mrs. Jennie turned her head and didn’t say any further, but Allen understood everything in her heart-Pei Yao thought he might drop by to see him, so he deliberately got up early to clean up and change his clothes and waited.

It’s a pity that I left after visiting the wounded soldiers that day, and didn’t even ask Pei Yao about his situation.

Allen lowered his eyes and whispered for a long while: “I see.”

Looking at Allen’s still calm face, Mrs. Jenny couldn’t say whether she was pleased or disappointed. She bowed her head: “The doctor said, Her Royal Highness has already experienced the fatigue of the journey. Her Royal Highness also expressed her willingness to leave the main star as soon as possible, so as to avoid rumors. , I don’t know what you mean…”

“Cultivation for at least another month.” Allen said directly, “Tell his doctor, don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble to yourself, just take care of your own mouth, when the Queen will leave the main star is not his beak.”

Allen still didn’t ask about Pei Yao’s situation, nor did he intend to visit Pei Yao. Mrs. Jenny stopped talking, and finally looked down sadly and stopped talking.

Prince Adair turned his head to look at his wife with a wry smile. As a husband, he understood his wife’s softness, but as a man, he admired Alan’s tolerance and Pei Yao’s calmness even more.

The farewell is just around the corner. Do you really want to eat the food that the two have not eaten one by one, and walk the places that the two have not been to one by one, just like in the movie?

How to separate after lingering?

Moreover, Prince Adair could faintly understand Alan’s thoughts, he was not superstitious, but he vaguely felt that if everything was done before leaving, the ending would often not be so good.

There is one more thing he has not dared to say to Mrs. Jenny. In the previous conversation with Auston, he inferred that there was no final bond between Allen and Pei Yao.

After guessing this level, Prince Adair admired Allen’s arrangement more and more. I have to say that Alan has minimized the loss behind this seemingly tragic punishment. Now all he needs is time. Let time dilute this. The trauma caused by the main star and the empire in this accident gave me enough time to establish my prestige and build my own empire.

Looking at the youngest emperor in the history of the Norman Empire in front of him, Prince Adair sighed in his heart.

Just like that, another month passed.

After confirming that Pei Yao’s body was basically healed, and that he could withstand the toil of any journey, Allen made a decision to exile Pei Yao to Tara.

Alan wanted to entrust Pei Yao to Admiral Barker, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind… Pei Xuan can’t be blamed for what happened before, and Pei Yao’s mother has done nothing wrong, and Pei Yao has not seen herself for many years. Parents, now the situation has calmed down a bit, Allen is still willing to let Pei Yao and his parents reunite.

Although Tara’s climate is not as good as that of Balk’s residence, at least Pei Yao can still have relatives by his side after leaving him.

On the day of the farewell, the port of Amanthal Palace was cloudless.

I haven’t seen it for many days, but the two days seem to have only been separated for a few hours.

“How is your body?” Allen quietly looked at Pei Yao, and whispered, “Is the left abdomen injured more severely, is it okay?”

Pei Yao was still wearing the dress of the commander of the Glory Legion. His face was still handsome under the sun. He paused and nodded: “Don’t worry, I’m still fully recovered.”

Allen said, “Um”, gossiping like usual: “The climate over there is not very good, I asked you to prepare something for you, you have to take care of yourself, but…I am at ease with your parents.”

“Tell Admiral Pei Xuan for me, the main star will always welcome him.” Allen smiled faintly, “He can come back anytime.”

Pei Yao couldn’t help nodding, tears fell accidentally, Allen took out the handkerchief, slowly wiped it for Pei Yao, and asked: “When will Admiral Pei Xuan and his wife promise you to come back before the expedition?”

Pei Yao was stunned, and it took a long time to start stunned: “Father said… a year.” But then the little Pei Yao waited year after year. He has grown up and enlisted in the army. parents.

“I’m afraid I will do it for less than a year.” Allen’s eyes were gentle and firm. “But my promise will definitely be fulfilled. Three years will never be more than one day.”

The anxiety and sadness of the past few days disappeared instantly in front of Allen’s promise. Pei Yao’s heart calmed down instantly. He looked down and took a deep breath: “I believe in you.”

“Your Majesty… why can he be so cruel?”

“What’s the matter?” Not far away, as a member of the royal family, Prince Adair, who had seen Pei Yao farewell, turned to look at his wife, “What are you talking about?”

Mrs. Jenny’s eyes were reddish: “I mean, how cruel your Majesty is, have you seen it? Your Royal Highness is crying, and he is reluctant to bear your Majesty…”

“But your Majesty has remained calm and self-sufficient from beginning to end, and arranged everything for the Queen. Her words and deeds are not like just grief.” Mrs. Jenny wiped the tears from her eyes, and her heart was extremely sad. “I really don’t understand… even if he hugs her.” Queen.”

Prince Adair was helpless: “Do you want the Queen to go more difficult?”

The emperor and the queen were separated. Everyone didn’t come forward. They just watched from a distance. They waited until Pei Yao boarded the ship and the people left the port one by one. However, Allen stayed in the control room and never came out. After waiting for a long time outside the port, he couldn’t help but turn back. Sure enough, Alan seemed to have become a statue, standing in front of the French window in the control room as he was when Pei Yao left.

Mrs. Jenny walked into the control room anxiously, hesitated and whispered: “Your Majesty, you should leave.”

Allen did not answer, and suddenly whispered for a long while: “I told Pei Yao before that after the blind date season…I will marry him. I said I want to give him an unprecedented wedding, and we still want a child.”

“Pei Yao said…that we should have at least two children, a boy and a girl, the boy’s name is Cyril, and the girl’s name is Marianne.”

Allen touched his chest unconsciously, suddenly felt something empty in his heart.

After the blind date season, he ascended the throne as emperor, but he failed to do what he promised to Pei Yao.

Alan silently stared at the cloudless blue sky, tears bursting into his eyes for an instant.
