"Do you think you can leave?"
The princess said so.
The black-haired boy stood in front of the gate. The heavy gate decorated with gold decorations was tightly closed. He stretched out his hand to push it, but remained motionless.
He looked down at his hands.
Noah was right, he didn't lose his power, but he was subconsciously unwilling to use this power.
Because no one knows better than him how terrifying the power hidden in his body is, even he himself doesn't know what terrible consequences this power will lead to if it gets out of control.
Therefore, he subconsciously blocked Jia's power.
However, being unwilling to let Jia's power get out of control, and not wanting to use Jia's power to hurt others, does not mean that he will foolishly allow others to hurt without resisting.
The young man looked at his hand, and the blue light in his pupils ignited. Then, he turned away from the door that couldn't be pushed open, and walked to the other side.
On the other side of the room, next to the door, there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, the window is open, and the snow-white veil hangs down to the ground. In this tall tower, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the people in the room can overlook most of the beautiful scenery of this magnificent palace.
A strong wind blows, blowing from the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the white tulle is flying high, the gauze is dancing, and the edge of the white lace gently passes over the cheeks of the young man who walked past.
An invisible air current surrounded the young man, causing his soft black hair to flutter endlessly around his cheeks. The corners of his clothes fluttered, and the coat fluttered, as if being entwined by the wind.
He took a step forward, and when that step fell, his feet did not touch the ground, but he stepped on the void and floated up. It was as if an invisible wind was whistling around him, and his body floated up lightly. The snow-white tulle fluttered behind him, like transparent elf wings spread out behind the boy suspended in mid-air.
In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, white gauze was flying, and the black-haired boy was floating in the air. Behind him was the endless blue sky.
He looked down at the princess below him, black hair gently passed over his eyes, and his pupils shone with tiny blue starlight.
"I'm leaving, you can't stop me."
He said calmly, and then, he turned sideways, as if he wanted to fly away from here through the open floor-to-ceiling windows.
However, the moment he turned sideways, the voice of the princess came from behind.
"You won't go."
Princess Salome said, with a firm tone.
She raised her hand, a circle of light emerged from her waved hand, and then a figure emerged from that circle of light.
Mutt looked back, and his face changed immediately. The boy's body floating in mid-air as if about to leave immediately fell down, his eyes fixed on the familiar figure on the light curtain.
The girl with fluffy brown curly hair curled up in a small room, sitting on the bed with her shoulders folded, her face full of panic and anxiety.
"Maya!" Mute stared at the princess with anger in his eyes, "You—"
"I told you, you won't go."
The princess said, an understatement.
She said that it doesn't matter whether Mutt can use Ga's power or not, because even if she can use it, she has a way to deal with it.
She knows this kind child too well, even if it is someone who has nothing to do with her, this child is willing to protect, let alone a friend who has a close relationship with him. He will never abandon her with someone close to her that he has been in contact with for a long time.
"I know Jia has a strong spiritual power, so restrain it."
"What I'm going to do next, you'd better not resist. If you resist, this girl will die."
There is probably only one way to make Mute leave Admiral Troll and obey him—that is to completely erase all the child's memories and make him an obedient puppet.
Only in this way will this boy truly tame himself.
However, erasing memories is difficult to be effective on people with strong mental power. If you want to erase the memory of such a person, unless the other party does not make any resistance.
As long as Mute gives up her mental resistance, she can erase all his memories and make him her property.
Mutt didn't answer, he looked at the panicked look of the brown curly-haired girl in the light curtain, and bit his lips tightly.
Salome looked at the boy's taut side cheeks and clenched lower lip, and spoke again.
"how?"
"..."
"Are you going to watch this girl die?"
"..."
The blond princess raised her lips slightly, and she stretched out her hand to the boy opposite. Her hand was slender and white, and the skin on her hand reflected the sun with a soft luster, making it look extremely beautiful.
"Come here, my John," she said.
Mute looked at the hand stretched out to him, the blue gleam in his pupils was flickering, and the invisible air flow surrounded his cheeks, making his dark forehead hair dance gently.
He looked at the princess's hand, his eyelashes drooped, he half closed his eyes, and took a step forward.
... ... ...
—
In just a few days, the sudden change of Emperor Star shocked the entire universe.
First, the news that Princess Salome framed the son of Marquis Mia was widely spread, but the royal family had an ambiguous attitude. Although they protected the princess, they did not intend to clarify for the princess. The emperor put the princess under house arrest in the room on the grounds of facing the wall and thinking about her mistakes, and took back her original rights.
Later, the news of the emperor's recovery came out, and there were rumors that the emperor who was already ill wanted to choose an excellent woman and use the Mother system to conceive several more children.
Later, there were dark rumors that the emperor had successfully used the Mother system to breed a new heir, and waited for his full moon to be born before announcing it to the entire universe.
However, before those nobles could find out whether the secret rumor was true or false, a thing that shocked the entire universe happened—Princess Salome, who had been quietly staying in her bedroom after the framed incident, With a sudden counterattack, he seized control of the Royal Fleet directly under the royal family, controlled the Emperor Star, and forced the Emperor to abdicate and give way to her.
No one thought that Princess Salome, who had been deprived of her rights and placed under house arrest in the palace, would suddenly become violent and do such a violent thing, even directly forcing the palace to seize the throne, even the emperor did not expect it. In this sudden coup, the emperor, who had just recovered from his illness, had no time to respond, and Salome, who had taken control of the Royal Fleet, took control of the Emperor Star. The emperor was imprisoned in the deep palace, and Princess Salome became the actual controller of the emperor star.
The amount of information in this series of events is so great that countless noble warlords were caught off guard and almost couldn't react.
However, not long after they digested the news, another explosive news hit.
The emperor vaguely noticed what the princess was doing a few days ago, so he secretly sent a message to Admiral Troll, ordering him to lead the fleet to King Dixingqin immediately.
As a result, the crowd of onlookers suddenly realized - no wonder Admiral Troll suddenly mobilized his army without warning a few days ago, and led his fleet to rush to Emperor Star - the crowd of onlookers were still baffled and didn't know about this newly promoted admiral What do you want to do with all of a sudden such a big fight, now look at it, oh, it turns out that the emperor's confidant general has received the emperor's secret order to go to Emperor Xingqin!
However, probably because of General Troll's army's move, Princess Salome also sensed the danger and immediately launched a coup d'état decisively. Before Admiral Troll's fleet had time to reach the Emperor Star, she had successfully imprisoned the Emperor, took control of the military, and became the actual controller of the Emperor Star.
One day later, in the vast and boundless starry sky, under the leadership of the Ishtar flagship, which looked like a star sea giant whale, the huge fleet under Admiral Troll reached the edge of the Emperor star system.
And before they arrived, at the edge of the Emperor Star System, the same huge Royal Fleet relied on the interstellar fortress and was already waiting here.
The Royal Fleet with the iconic golden badge is deployed in the vast universe. Near the interstellar fortress, in the center of the fleet, there is a beautiful peacock blue flagship. The arc of its wings is like a blue bird spreading its wings The graceful arc at that moment, the lines are smooth and elegant.
Erischig, the ship of the imperial princess Salome.
As a princess, Salome has entered the army decades ago and participated in several wars against bandits. This is the tradition of the royal family. All heirs to the throne must practice in the army and obtain certain achievements in order to be recognized and supported by the military to ascend the throne.
This is also one of the reasons why she was able to successfully seize command of the Royal Fleet this time.
At this moment, two large fleets were facing each other at the edge of the Emperor Star System, and a galaxy-like void stretched between the two fleets.
On both sides of the empty river, countless ships are arranged in neat lines, like countless stars spreading out in the universe.
The war is approaching, imminent.
Outside this battlefield, many forces are secretly observing, waiting for the outcome of this war.
Because for these forces, whether the current emperor is in power, or the princess forced the emperor to abdicate and become the queen herself, it doesn't have a great impact on them. No matter who is the emperor, with the current military power of the royal family, it is impossible to attack their major forces. Moreover, the royal family fights, which can weaken the power of the royal family, and they are even more optimistic about the change.
Now they are waiting nearby, in fact, they are waiting for the result of this war. When the two sides are almost at the end of the battle, they will appear at the right time and help the dominant side completely overwhelm the other side. Not only will this not cause too many casualties to their fleet, but it can also confidently express that they are on the side of the winner, without worrying that the final winner will settle accounts later.
To the south outside the battlefield is a silver-white flagship.
"Who do you think will win in the end?"
"It's hard to say. Although the general has been in battle for a long time, Your Majesty the Queen occupies a favorable location and has more troops."
In the northeast, surrounded by countless ships, the fat oval flagship hovers in the sea of stars.
"I don't think it's wise for the princess to pull the Royal Fleet out of the galaxy to fight."
"Yes, it is better to rely on the emperor star for defense, and you can also use the emperor as a hostage."
"It's hard to say, although the princess has placed His Majesty under house arrest, she is a father and daughter after all, and will not really hurt His Majesty. Moreover, seeing that she would rather give up her advantage and come to fight outside the galaxy, I am afraid that she does not want the flames of war to hurt the Emperor Star. people."
"Hmph, the benevolence of a woman."
At the farther end of the universe, there are not many fleets, but all of them are elite destroyers.
"Why doesn't the princess rely on the Emperor Star? One [Scepter of Heaven] is comparable to several fleets."
"It is reported that although the princess has put His Majesty under house arrest, she has not been able to take away the final control of the [Scepter of Heaven] from His Majesty. There is no way to control this weapon."
"This kind of thing... ah! It's a war!"
"Well... the strength of the two sides is about the same. The queen and the daughter own the interstellar fortress. I'm afraid there will be no winner in this battle in a short time. We have to wait."
"How long do you think it will take to decide the winner?"
"I'm afraid it will take a day at the fastest. If there is a stalemate, it may take a week."
"I don't want to be here for a week."
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and in the conversation between the two of them laughing and playing, the battlefield that they just started to contact has undergone huge changes in an instant.
When the vast majority of people thought that this war, which was evenly matched and even relied on the fortress's Royal Fleet, would not end for a while, the sudden change of the battlefield situation hit them hard in the face.
"Damn it, is it evenly matched?"
"The Troll Fleet's assault speed is too fast!"
"The queen's response was a step slower!"
"Been bypassed—"
"Trouble, the flanks are going to be swallowed!"
"Part of the fleet on the rear has collapsed!"
"It's just—"
The starry sky is the canvas, and the starships are the spots of color.
The offensive of the Troll fleet is like a beautiful arc drawn in the starry sky by an invisible paintbrush among the stars in the universe.
The incomparable attack speed and the transition of fleet formations are like the most beautiful art, like the beautiful scenery created by the paintbrush in the starry sky. The smooth attack without the slightest pause, like flowing clouds and flowing water, is like the beautiful notes played by the piano among the stars.
It was like a vigorous black panther running on the endless grassland, waving its majestic and powerful limbs, opening its sharp teeth, and biting its enemy with thunderous force until the blood was dripping.
Three hours, just three hours.
This war, which has been considered by everyone to be stalemate for some time, has come to an end.
The interstellar fortress was seized, countless fleets were routed, and Princess Salome's ship, Erischig, was surrounded and unable to move.
The war ended so quickly that those speculators who wanted to step forward at the last moment were caught off guard, and the war was over almost before they got close.
The side of Princess Salome was completely defeated.
"As expected of a man favored by the goddess of victory..."
Someone couldn't help expressing such emotion.
Because of its own strength, it has the qualifications to be favored.
Just as the peeping people were passing the news back one after another, few people noticed that an inconspicuous small spaceship left Ishtar and sailed quickly towards Erischig.
Before being beaten to pieces in the great war, the elegant and beautiful Erischig ship stayed quietly in the starry sky, and the hatch opened in the belly let the small spaceship enter it.
The blond-haired princess stood quietly in the room. She was not wearing the gorgeous gauze dress she usually wears in the palace. Her thick blond hair was tied up in a bunch behind her head. She was wearing black-and-silver-patterned dress Imperial military uniform, with gold ornaments on the shoulders to distinguish it from ordinary military uniforms.
The golden fringe at the neckline hangs down from her chest, setting off the silver-white buttons on her chest, complementing each other.
The light in the room was very bright, and it shone on her slightly pale cheeks. At this moment, her fragile skin was translucently white. She stood there, standing straight.
This ship has been occupied, and she fought and retreated under the protection of the guards, and finally retreated here. After she retreated here, the soldiers outside seemed to have received the order from above, and stopped attacking, but stayed outside.
Salome probably guessed who the person who would appear in front of her would be next, so she calmly waited for that person to appear.
She had already heard, the rapid and steady footsteps sounded outside, from far to near.
Then, the door of the room was opened, and the slender figure of the young general appeared in front of her eyes, walking towards her quickly.
Seeing Troll approaching, Salome slightly bent her eyes.
"you win."
She said, frankly.
She stood there wearing the same military uniform as Troll, with a straight figure and slightly raised chin. That proud posture made her look like a loser in this war, but more like a winner anyway.
No matter when or where, this woman never lowered her head.
"Troll, you are stronger than I thought."
The princess's peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and she met the cold gaze of the young general who was staring at her.
"It seems that you have hidden some strength before."
She has seen every war Troll participated in, without missing a single one, and she knows how powerful Troll is in the interstellar war. However, according to what she had seen, what Troll showed in those wars was not as terrible as this time.
"Shouldn't I be satisfied as the first enemy that can make you go all out?"
Admiral Troll looked at her, expressionless.
"Where is he?"
"Of course it is here." The princess smiled suddenly, and she said, "Where I am, he is there. You know, I am his master—well!"
A hand stretched out and grabbed Salome by the throat.
That powerful arm was lifted up little by little, and its fingers grabbed Salome's throat fiercely, just like this, it grabbed her and lifted her whole body up in the air little by little.
The icy blue phoenix eyes, which seemed to be frozen by ice, narrowed slightly, making them look narrower and narrower.
Troll raised his head, staring at the slightly distorted face of the princess who was held up by his throat because of the pain, there was a cold light in the depths of his pupils, like a storm was about to come and the darkest sea surface was extremely dark, there was a kind of terrifying Something is brewing under the surface of the sea, surging, as if a terrifying force will erupt in the next second and wreak havoc on the entire world.
The young man stood there. Although his extremely handsome face showed no expression, the invisible violent aura radiated from his body uncontrollably. He seemed to be standing in the center of a storm, and the hurricane surrounded him, trying to tear the sky apart.
He stared at Salome with a look so terrible that you dare not take a second look.
"Where is he?"
Still these three words, the admiral's voice was so low that it seemed to be pressed from the depths of his throat.
Salome clenched her teeth, her face flushed from suffocation, her hands gripping the hand that was pinching her throat, trying to break it apart.
But that hand was like iron tongs, no matter how she tried to break it, it would not move at all, even if she lifted her whole body abruptly for such a long time, it was steady, and it never even trembled at all.
This man is serious.
The pain of suffocation distorted her face.
She thought that this person would be jealous of her status as a princess, but now that she saw this person's gaze, she realized that this man really dared to kill herself.
... This man who dared to protect the child even after the child exposed Jia's identity...
... this man who dared to fight against the entire universe for that child...
A strange smile suddenly appeared on the face of the princess.
With a gust of wind, Troll felt a sudden attack from behind, as if a sharp weapon stabbed him in the back.
He threw Salome aside with a flick of his hand, and quickly turned around. The metal ring on his wrist suddenly turned into a dagger and was held in his hand.
Raising his right hand, he easily blocked the sharp edge of the stabbing blade with the blade of the dagger in his hand. There was a crisp sound when the metal weapons collided, and the heavily stabbed sword tip sparked a stream of sparks on his dagger.
The sword was easily blocked, and the admiral raised his foot to kick the attacker away.
The man who attacked him from behind looked up, and through the interlaced snow-white blades, the cold metal reflected the man's face.
The dark blue pupils went blank for a moment.
The admiral's gaze froze at this moment as if frozen.
The shadow of the pitch-black hair shrouded the young general's eye sockets, making it impossible to see his eyes clearly at the moment, only his lips were so tight that there were traces of pain oozing out.
He clasped the hand of the man who attacked him tightly, snatched the dagger from the man's hand, and then twisted his backhand to forcefully hold it in his arms. He threw the dagger he had taken down heavily, and the sharp blade brushed the cheek of Princess Salome who was thrown to the ground by him, and pierced deeply into the metal floor.
A few strands of golden hair fell from the air, and a deep gash was cut on the side of the princess's cheek, and blood flowed down from the snow-white skin.
Clutching the person in his arms who wanted to attack him, Admiral Troll looked down at the princess, the frantic storm had already raged in his eyes, and the depths of his pupils seemed to be filled with coldness in the whole world at this moment. The wind is howling.
"Unlock him."
He looked down at Princess Salome and said.
His arms tightly hugged the boy who was trying to break free from him.
The princess met his terrifying eyes, and then she raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"it is good."
She said, easily said yes.
Then she got up and walked over. The boy who watched her come over stopped struggling, and stared at her blankly with a pair of dull black eyes.
Salome stretched out her hand, and her fingers pressed the cold metal ring on Mutt's forehead, and then took the metal ring off without hesitation. Her removal of the control ring was done with a strange simplicity.
The boy whose control ring was taken off seemed a little confused, standing motionless, staring at the princess in a daze.
Seeing the control ring on Mute's forehead being removed, Troll's eyes seemed to be slightly relieved. He put his arms around the person in his arms, and tentatively stroked the boy's cheek lightly.
The young man looked up at him, his gaze was still dazed, and his pupils seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, making it difficult to see clearly.
"John, do it."
The princess holding the control ring in her hand said suddenly.
The young man who was looking up at Troll in a daze suddenly changed his expression. When he raised his hand, the dagger that had been pierced deeply into the metal floor swung violently and returned to his hand in an instant.
The boy raised his hand suddenly, and he looked at Admiral Troll with the eyes of an enemy.
The dagger that returned to his hand was shining coldly, and the sharp blade rested on the throat of the young general.
…
Troll didn't move, maybe something held him back.
He looked at the young man with the dagger on his neck, and at the pair of black eyes that were hostile to him, with a look of bewilderment in his eyes.
"There is no control ring, there is no such thing at all. Jia's powerful mental power, there is no control ring to control it."
The princess let out a low laugh.
"As I said, Troll, you'll never take him away."
Princess Salome squinted her eyes, she looked at Troll's icy face cracked little by little in her words, she looked at the pain marks in the man's eyes that seemed to be torn apart at this moment .
She seemed to be enjoying all this, raising her head slightly, the purple-blue bruises on her snow-white neck were shocking.
"It's a pity, Troll."
She said, "I didn't control him, I just erased all his memories—"
People controlled by the control ring can change back to their original self as long as they take off the control ring.
The memories that have been erased will never come back.
