The sudden arrival of the Imperial Fleet interrupted the two people in the room. Ji Mian dragged an Alpha with a gloomy aura and pushed open the door of the room.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Ji Mian's question, Jager at the door looked unhappy: "Sorry, I don't know why... We were discovered by the Imperial Fleet."
Outside the porthole, in the vast universe, a row of silver-white glittering fleets appeared, like unsheathed steel knives, with their blades pointed at the Burren family.
"This is also to be expected," Ji Mian's expression remained unchanged. "After all, the emperor is the emperor, the real power in the empire."
More than 20 years ago, North, who had just ascended the throne, had not yet stabilized his power, so it was difficult for him to find Catherine who had left. However, more than 20 years later, his power had probably already penetrated every inch of the empire.
Although the Bollen family wanted to protect Chu Shiye and hated Emperor North, they could not compete with the empire relying solely on the strength of one family.
After all, this family is just a branch on the giant tree of the empire with tangled roots.
"There is another way now," said Jagger. "You take the lifeboat and sneak from—"
"They have already discovered us," Chu Shiye said, "If they can't find me, they will just start searching immediately."
Ji Mian: "Besides, I'm afraid North won't let you go either."
Jager sneered, "He has been trying to stop us for decades."
Having said that, he did not suggest letting Chu Shiye and Ji Mian take the opportunity to slip away, obviously realizing that this would not work at all.
The Empire's fleet remained motionless, seemingly waiting for its prey to fall into its trap. Ji Mian asked again, "If Aye goes back, what will North do to him?"
Chu Shiye's expression changed and he turned to Ji Mian.
Jagger: “…It’s hard to say.”
"North has no children now. Although he is in the prime of life, he seems to be suffering from some special disease and his health is getting worse and worse."
Jager said.
"He urgently needs an heir to the throne, but a legitimate heir to the throne."
Right and proper.
Although Chu Shiye's mother Catherine was North's first lover and his fiancée to whom he had made a sincere promise... but many years later, she was not North's legitimate wife.
How ironic that North once abandoned her, but after that, he still desperately pursued her and her child.
Ji Mian met Chu Shiye's gaze: "So, do you want to meet him?"
Without waiting for Chu Shiye to answer, he said again: “No matter what decision you make, I will be with you.”
Chu Shiye was silent for a few seconds, then said, “I don’t want to, but I will go.”
He did not do it to see his so-called biological father, but for the safety of the Burren family.
After all, it is my mother's family.
Ji Mian nodded: "Okay."
Although they had already made the decision, Jager frowned, paced back and forth for a few times, and finally said, "Let's go."
The airship turned around and headed for the Imperial Fleet. The Imperial Fleet seemed to have anticipated this and silently adjusted its formation, surrounding the Burren Family's fleet and "escorting" them to the Imperial Capital Star.
The stars fell outside the porthole. In the room, Chu Shiye sat next to Ji Mian and lowered his head: "I'm sorry."
