One day before the end of the month, Evan was actually a little surprised when he received the news that his commander had returned as soon as he arrived at the military headquarters in the morning.
He remembered that his commander had applied for a full month of annual leave, and had taken all the leave for the second year, in order to accompany the black-haired young man to the place called 'Earth'...
Will you come back early
When preparing the ship for his commander to travel, Evan entered the identification mark on the ship, and the ship did not need to go through the safety net inspection when entering and exiting Esser. But as an adjutant, he should go to meet him and report his work by the way.
The landing point of the ship was in the familiar private mansion. Stepping into the mansion, Evan walked to the wide platform specially used to park the ship.
At this time, the ship had just landed, and the hatch at the entrance just opened, and the next second Evan saw the person walking out of the ship—
… only one person
He shoved the words he was about to say back into his throat, and the young soldier who had been an adjutant for several years took another look at the door as if to confirm, but there was still only the silver-haired officer with a cold and handsome face, unable to see him. The figure of the young fellow.
"Send the guards to guard the star gate leading to the new star domain, and those who approach will be treated as enemy troops."
"...Yes." Evan didn't dare to ask or even mention it, because the pair of vertical pupils he saw in front of him were too dark and cold. The pupils are shrinking, and there seems to be no sign of easing for the time being.
After finishing the recent work report in the study, Evan left the mansion while waiting for the silver-haired officer in the seat to nod his head.
It's kind of... I don't know whether to say familiar or unfamiliar.
Their commander has no feelings, even as a relatively close adjutant, Evan once thought so. It was not until the accident happened and the appearance of the black-haired young man belonging to a weak race that he changed his perception.
It's not that their commander has no feelings, but only has feelings for that specific person.
But now that particular person seems to be gone.
Evan has always been very skilled at conveying orders, and with the execution of the guards, the star gate leading to the 'Earth' was guarded that day, and no one was allowed to pass.
Evan doesn't know what happened to his commander and the black-haired young man on the blue planet outside the stargate. Now the only person involved doesn't say it, and he can't ask.
But the next day, I saw that the name originally ranked first on the Empire's wanted list had been erased. The result was that the record was killed, and the name of his commander was found in the column of the executor. Linking these things together, Evan can almost understand.
Thinking that the commanders of the other legions are still very interested in that person... who may not be able to mention the name now, Evan can only start the communication one by one with a headache, so as to prevent these colleagues from stepping into the mine without realizing it. Area.
In less than a month after that, a major event occurred in the empire that could affect the distribution of various military and political forces—
The prince ascended the throne, and the Hetis welcomed their new emperor, His Majesty. Originally, if the original plan was followed, the coronation ceremony should have been held in another half a month.
This time the crown prince ascended the throne almost unanimously in the House of Elders, which can be said to be unique in the history of the empire.
Their new emperor, His Majesty, also quickly demonstrated his excellent abilities. In just five years after he ascended the throne, the Black Empire built by Hetis completed the unification of the regime of all neighboring star regions.
In every war, he will fight in person, and the silver mecha, which can even be described as beautiful and beautiful in appearance, is like a god of death on the battlefield.
Imperial news never shy away from reporting on their new emperor.
The army was victorious, and the personnel did not suffer much damage. The silver-haired officer at the forefront of the team had a cold and handsome face, and his dark vertical pupils showed no trace of warmth.
Although this Hetis was very handsome and in the highest position, few people dared to approach.
Too cold, the kind of cold that is extremely calm and rational. Their Emperor His Majesty has no feelings, which is almost unanimous in the Empire.
But... their emperor also did something that made them feel very strange.
In the process of unifying neighboring galaxies, they discovered a new star gate. On the other side of the star gate, there is a blue planet that is still in a lower civilization.
The resources are very rich, and it is easy for a low-level civilization to capture, but when the sergeants are all ready to fight, their emperor's majesty's order to the army makes them feel incredible—
Protect.
It's protection, not capture. For a moment, the sergeants other than the Seventh Legion really wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.
He captured all the countries in all the neighboring star fields, but let go of this blue planet belonging to a low-level civilization, and even later unconditionally provided all kinds of assistance to help this planet develop civilization...
How can there be such a good thing in the world
But this impossible event really happened before their eyes, and their emperor seemed to be particularly interested in this low-level civilization planet, and even the daily government affairs liked to be dealt with on this planet.
If you like this planet so much, why not capture it? The Hetis couldn't understand this either, and the very few who knew the situation kept silent.
At this time, in a room on this blue planet, Hetis, who had become the emperor of the empire, was still not sitting in the seat of the highest power on Esser, but in the form of a domestic cat, lying on his back. On a sofa in the living room of this house.
It was early morning, and the sparse sunlight poured in from the windowsill, illuminating the living room a little.
The space in this room is not big, but it is not too small. Now only Hetis, who looks like a domestic cat, is staying in it, so it looks very empty.
The clothes worn by the young man in this room were piled up on the sofa. Hetis, who looked like a big cat, got into the pile of clothes, exposing his head, and it could be seen that he was lying down quietly.
In fact, after such a long time, the breath on these clothes has long been faint, and even if they are close, they cannot smell the breath. But otherwise, the waiting would be extremely unbearable for this Hetis.
Bowing his head slightly, the vertical pupil of this Hetis stared at the ring that was strung as a necklace and hung around its neck. It was a look at precious treasures, rather cautious.
It remembered that after the youth finished saying the words 'Qiuqiu', he told it to open his eyes... open his eyes and look at him.
But at that time, the body was infected with toxins, and its hearing was weak, so it could not hear the words clearly.
It was because it was not obedient enough to close its eyes at that time, so when it opened its eyes again, it couldn't see the person it wanted to see. It didn't look anywhere, and the person it wanted to see seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
"Meow."
There was a low whimper in the empty room, but of course there was no response. Lying quietly on the sofa in the living room, the vertical pupil of this Hetis stared at the door.
It's so cute... won't close your eyes this time.
