The sleeping boy moved, and the soft black hair gently brushed against the man's chin, and the soft touch made the man open his eyes.
The shadow of the fine eyelashes fell on the dark blue pupils of the man, adding a sense of profundity to the jewel-like eyes of the deep sea. Major General Troll lowered his head slightly, and the fluffy black head was under his eyes Down.
Mutt was lying on his side, slightly bowed, the little head was on his chest, and the two were so close that he could hear the steady breathing.
Mo Lan's eyes seemed to melt a little, he folded his arms, embraced the child who was already snuggling against his chest, and rubbed the soft black hair scattered on the snow-white bed quilt with one hand. He remembered how the child blushed and dared not look at him last night, his heart softened inexplicably, and he lowered his head and kissed the corner of Mute's eyes.
The young child made a vague sound, probably disturbed by Major General Troll's movements, and woke up from a sound sleep. As soon as he opened his eyes, he naturally saw the handsome face that was magnified in front of his eyes.
He tilted his head and blinked. On the second and third days of sharing the same bed, he would stare straight every time he woke up, but after so long he was used to it. Therefore, the boy tilted his head and smiled at Major General Troll in a daze.
The sleepy eyes were slightly hazy, making the bright black pupils seem to be covered with a layer of light mist. The child tilted his head slightly, and his slightly parted lips were moist, light pink, with a kind of The soft luster made the man's eyes fall on the pale pink lips involuntarily.
Thinking of the soft touch of his lips touching his cheek last night, the major general's eyes deepened a bit.
And the boy who was still a little dazed at first met the familiar wolf-like gaze, and the alarm bell in his heart rang out. He woke up instantly, sat up from the bed, shrank his body back, and looked at the major general vigilantly.
However, the major general who was discovered of his own bad intentions got up, very calmly expressed his purpose in a natural manner, leaned over unceremoniously, held Mutt's shoulders with both hands and wanted to ask for a kiss.
"Wait, wait! You promised to give me time to think about it!"
The young man who was held by his shoulders and couldn't move could only watch the major general bow his head and quickly shouted to stop.
The major general who had moved closer to his eyes looked at him, as if his dark blue pupils were gazing at him.
"Um."
said the major general.
"You miss yours slowly." He said, understatement, "I kiss mine."
Mute: "..."
Had he heard words of similar meaning from the same mouth, when and where
…
Forget it, it's not that I haven't kissed before, so why not be so pretentious now, just treat it as a good morning kiss.
Thinking of this, he didn't struggle anymore, and watched the thin pale lips fall with slightly lowered eyes, and finally gave a warning.
"Don't stick your tongue in."
He said so cautiously.
I kissed him, but it was too much for him to kiss him deeply like last night. Not only did he feel as if he would be suffocated by the major general's kiss, but what made him feel unaccustomed was that at that time his whole brain was paralyzed by the kiss. Now, half of his body softened, and the strange feeling and sense of loss of control that he had never felt before made him faintly feel a little scary.
The major general hummed lightly, and pressed his lips down.
...
……………
ten minutes later.
Limp in the arms of the major general, Mute, who was blushing and out of breath, just tried to turn his face to the side to take a breath of oxygen, but his mouth was immediately blocked again by the thin lips that were chasing him.
The slightly red and swollen lips and the liquid oozing from the corners of the mouth clearly showed the extent of the ravages in the mouth of the short-breathing teenager.
fraud!
The young man who was almost kissed until his brain was blank and his lips were aching faintly let out such an angry cry from the bottom of his heart.
—
Half a month passed in a flash, and the crusade against the Mia family was ready to go. Although many aristocratic warlords who came here were extremely dissatisfied with the fact that this conquest army was commanded by a young general, but this time, after all, the royal family is the main force, and they only came to accompany the guests in response to the emperor's summoning order. Well, the emperor himself appointed the commander in chief of the conquest army, does it still need the consent of their accompanying guests
In addition, the nominal commander of the army is still the highly respected Marshal Yujia, who declared to the outside world that they obeyed the command of Marshal Yujia, and they were decent. Therefore, the aristocratic warlords who wanted to share a piece of the meat pie put up with the nouveau riche major general who overwhelmed them. After all, actual interests are more important than face.
Moreover, although they keep saying that they are willing to obey the command of the royal family, they will not accept the order of the emperor outside. When the battlefield is opened, the upstart major general issued an order. What else can this major general do to them
There are still more than five hours before the departure time of the conquest fleet. A huge light curtain hangs high in the center of the Ishtar ship hall, and the numbers on it are jumping and counting down.
The black-haired major general is sitting on the silver-white metal command seat in the center, nearly ten small light curtains are suspended around him, and countless characters are jumping on different screens, swiping rapidly at a dazzling speed , and the major general's gaze kept sweeping across these light curtains.
Lieutenant Colonel Qingfa, who was standing under the podium and was busy doing the final inspection, suddenly received an urgent communication request. After seeing the name of the requester, Via frowned and thought for a while. After typing a few times on the virtual keyboard quickly, a black light curtain emerged from the air, showing a semicircle, covering the podium. It is like a commonly used sound isolation cover, which can isolate the sound waves inside and outside the cover. At the same time, it is black and can also isolate the vision of people outside. Only people inside the cover can see the outside situation, while people outside Can't see what's inside.
Opening the isolation cover that isolates sound waves and vision, Via frowned and walked up to the commanding platform.
"Your Excellency, Major General, Robin requests urgent communication."
During this period of time, the princess often took Mutt to Emperor Star for the reason of illness, and played the piano for her. The dean of the Royal Academy also invited Mutt to discuss with him many times, so in the past half a month, Mutt basically I have to run to Emperor Star every day. Via was still worried about Mut'ga's identity, but it seemed that nothing happened during this time, so she felt a little relieved.
Because today is the day for the army to set off, but the princess summoned Mutt again, and before leaving, Via specifically told Robin not to waste time on the Emperor Star, and to return to Ishtar as soon as possible. But now there are only five hours before the expedition time, and that guy is still wandering on the Emperor Star!
Lieutenant Colonel Qingfa thought so dissatisfiedly, watching His Excellency Major General connect to the communication with Robin.
The light curtain flickered, and the magnified face of the red-haired major appeared on the light curtain. But at this moment, his usual laziness and leisure were gone from his face. He looked at Major General Troll, pursing his thick lips with a rare serious expression.
"BOSS." He frowned and said, "His Royal Highness ordered me to return alone."
"..."
The major general sitting on the command seat stopped his fingers slightly, and he and his subordinates in the light curtain looked at each other with sharp eyes.
"What's going on?" Via showed a nervous look. Could it be that the identity of the child 'Gal' was exposed? But at such a critical moment
So he had already suggested to the major general that the boy should be killed!
"I don't know, there is no news. I have been guarding the gate of the palace. Everything is normal and there has been no attack."
Robin frowned in bewilderment.
"… understood."
The major general said coldly, raised his hand and pulled Robin's communication channel aside, and quickly typed in several special passwords on the virtual keyboard with his fingers. A swirling black hole appeared on the light curtain, constantly rotating, and an electromechanical sound came from inside.
[Verification is successful, level 2 authority, communication can be carried out at any time in non-wartime state.]
[Major General Troll is allowed to communicate with Her Royal Highness.]
[Di, the communication has been connected.]
The magnified light curtain flickered for a moment, and a corner of the beautifully decorated bedroom appeared in the light curtain. The princess's long gold-like hair was extremely conspicuous. She was wearing a light blue dress and sitting there sideways, The skirt embroidered with peacock feather patterns was scattered on the ground. She turned her head, looked at the major general in the light curtain, and smiled slightly at the major general.
"Good afternoon, Rear Admiral Troll, the fleet is about to set off. Since you have time to contact me, you must be ready, right?"
The slightly curved peach blossom eyes looked at the major general, and Princess Salome said with a smile.
She was already beautiful, but with such a shallow smile, she was like a delicate flower blooming in spring, which made people unable to take their eyes off her.
However, the major general who communicated with her did not look at that pretty face at all, but fixedly landed on the side of the princess, the black-haired boy lying on the table who was apparently sleeping.
Looking at the figure of the child, Troll slowly clenched his hands on the armrest of the commander's seat.
After staring at the child for a long time and confirming that Mutt was only sleeping and there was nothing wrong with it, he turned his gaze to Princess Salome.
"What do you want to do?"
He looked at Wang Nu and asked, his face was expressionless, his eyes were like frost.
"It's nothing, you go to fight, but this kid is not suitable for a dangerous and bloody place like the battlefield. It's better for him to stay here, it's safer here."
Raising her hand to brush her golden hair, the princess said with a smile, understatement.
"..."
"Don't worry, he is the second partner I choose besides you. He is absolutely safe with me."
The princess said so in a light tone.
But her casual sentence made the black-haired major general frown forcefully.
"Salome."
He called the princess's name directly, with a clear articulation, as cold and sharp as nails smashed into an iron plate.
He stared at the princess with terrible hostility.
However, at the moment when Major General Troll's last word was pronounced, the princess, who was smiling nonchalantly, also lost her eyes, and suddenly changed her face. The face of the major general in the light curtain smashed over.
The major general watched the smashed drink glass pass by his eyes with a blank expression.
The attendants serving the princess watched in horror as the drink cup passed through the virtual light curtain, smashed to the ground with a slap, and the light blue liquid flowed all over the snow-white carpet.
"Troll, since it's a baby, it should be carefully hidden."
Wang Nu stared at the major general in the light curtain expressionlessly and said, her eyes became extremely gloomy for a while.
"Now that we've reached this point, I can only say that you deserve it!" She said coldly, "All the faults are yours, who are you showing your face to?"
The major general and the princess looked at each other. Although they were in different places, they seemed to be able to see the sparks exploded through the space between their gazes.
Major General Troll naturally understood the meaning behind the words of Princess Salome.
Now most of the royal family's fleet and army are under his command, including other noble warlords who come to assist in the crusade. He also has nominal command. Therefore, if there is no bargaining chip that can contain him, how can the royal family feel at ease. The commander-in-chief is out
The major general's thin lips were pursed tighter and tighter, and the coldness seeping out of the narrow and long phoenix eyes had almost chilled the surrounding area by several degrees.
He understood this kind of thing, but he always thought that the royal family would send inspectors to restrain his power, but he didn't expect that the princess would let Mute stay as a hostage.
[Since it is a baby, it should be carefully hidden.]
The meaning in Queen Salome's words was obvious. She saw clearly the influence that child had on him, and she knew how important that child was to him. Therefore, she did not send an inspector, but directly stayed That kid is in the royal family.
…
Too careless.
"Get ready to go, Major General Troll. During your expedition, I will arrange for Professor Mutter to temporarily stay at the Royal Institute of Ancient Earth Civilizations to assist in research."
The blonde princess said, raising her chin slightly.
"When you return in triumph, the child will naturally be sent back to Ishtar unharmed."
"..."
Major General Troll didn't answer, he raised his hand and closed the communication with the princess.
With a swipe of his fingertips, the communication with Robin was reopened.
"Return to the ship immediately."
"Hey hey? Boss, just leave that little guy alone? Wait—boss—I said—"
The closing light curtain cut off the red-haired major's shouts.
Major General Troll lowered his eyes, his eyes seemed to be half closed, and the shadow of his eyelashes fell on his pupils, making his eyes seem to be shrouded in darkness at this moment.
His lips were pressed tightly at this moment, as thin as the edge of a blade.
He clenched his right hand tightly on the metal armrest of the command seat, and he could faintly see traces of blue blood vessels stretched out on the back of his hand.
The terrible oppressive feeling emanating from his body made Via, who was standing aside and was about to speak, subconsciously hold her breath, and closed her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.
After a while, Lieutenant Colonel Via heard the major general's deep voice sounding again.
"Make final preparations."
"Yes!"
...
…………………
Five hours later, the huge fleet outside the Emperor Star System set off and headed for the distant Mia Galaxy.
Princess Salome stood in the room, watching the countless ships sailing towards the vast starry sky through the light curtain, watching the blue-black Ishtar surrounded by countless ships and disappearing into the depths of the vast universe.
She lowered her eyes, not knowing what to think.
"Your Highness." An attendant who had been waiting beside her for a long time bowed politely, "Your Majesty is still waiting, then, we will take this Excellency to meet His Majesty first."
"Um."
The princess hummed lightly, didn't even bother to raise her eyelids, and didn't even look at the sleeping boy, she turned around and left here.
Because His Majesty the Emperor wanted to summon the youngest professor ever, the two attendants had been waiting here. Seeing that the princess left with a bad face, the two attendants looked at each other, then shook their heads, and took away Mutt who was still in a coma after being drugged.
The maids serving the queen watched them take the boy away, and some of them whispered softly.
"It's the first time I've seen Her Royal Highness be so angry at the major general."
"Yes, yes, she has never lost her temper with the major general before."
"Come on, a man who has been in love for decades is actually obsessed with a child who is inferior to him in everything. I would be furious if it were me."
"Shut up, he is a VIP at the institute."
"That's not as good as our princess—"
The small words quickly disappeared into the air.
... ... ...
The young man who was lying on a seat crookedly opened his eyes slowly. He felt that his head was dizzy and his vision was blurred. Light and shadow were constantly changing in his vision.
He hung his head for a long time, until his vision became clear, and then slowly raised his head.
where is this
The surroundings were dark and there was almost no light, and only the outline of the cylindrical room could be vaguely seen. Mutt stared blankly at the unfamiliar scenery in front of him, trying to turn his still a little dizzy mind.
Isn't he having afternoon tea with the princess? He also thought about saying goodbye to the princess after drinking tea. After all, Robin said that the army was leaving today and he wanted to return to the ship early.
"woke up?"
With a deep male voice, the originally dark room suddenly lit up, which was a little dazzling for a moment, and Mutt squinted his eyes subconsciously.
After adapting to the sudden bright light, Mutt could see the appearance of this place clearly.
It was an oval-shaped hall with an unusually high, vaulted roof, carved with images of angels, whose wings wrapped in gold leaf shone in the light of the multicolored glass.
A circular high platform is suspended in the center of the hall, and a huge blue light ball is slowly turning and flashing on the high platform.
There was someone standing in front of the huge blue light ball. It was a middle-aged man in a fancy dress. He looked no longer young. There was a shallow crow's feet in the corner of his eyes, and the crow's feet made the man's face look more complex. very majestic.
The man's eyes were very bright, and when those eyes fell on him, Mute even had the feeling that his heart was pierced by those eyes. With just one look from a man, he can overwhelm a man. It wasn't intentional, but the sense of coercion that had been formed for a long time and had penetrated into the bones naturally radiated out.
When Mute, who was still a little confused about the situation, looked at the man's right hand, his heart jumped suddenly, and he jumped up from the chair.
In the right hand of the middle-aged man, he held a golden scepter as tall as a person. The pure gold scepter shone brightly in the light, and a huge dark blue gemstone was embedded in the exquisite pure gold pattern, as if being held up blue planet.
It is a symbol of imperial power.
In the universe, only one person is qualified to hold this golden scepter.
"Emperor... Your Majesty the Emperor... Your Majesty?"
The boy who woke up and saw the titular ruler of the entire universe was stunned and stuttered. He was at a loss for a while, his mind was in a mess.
When meeting the emperor, do we have to kneel down or do a military salute? He has basically never saluted the princess before, so he doesn't know what to do now.
"That, that... I..."
"No need to be formal." Just when Mutt didn't know what to do, the emperor on the high platform spoke again. He stood in front of the glowing blue light ball, looking down at the boy.
The blue light shone from behind him, covering the emperor's face in shadow, making it difficult for people to see his expression at the moment.
The emperor's voice was very low, with no ups and downs, flat, but inexplicably gave people a majestic and irresistible sense of oppression.
He said: "After all, this is not the first meeting."
"what?"
Mutt was taken aback for a moment.
Not meeting for the first time
Has he met this Emperor His Majesty before? I have no impression.
"Well, you won't remember."
The emperor holding the golden scepter said calmly, staring at the young man below with deep eyes. What emerged in his memory at this moment was the bloodless face of the unconscious teenager who was frozen in the transparent ice device decades ago.
"Because when I first saw you, you were still frozen."
He said calmly.
"Welcome to the world tens of thousands of years later, the last bloodline of the earth."
