Celia didn't sleep soundly, her eye circles were a little blue, her brows were furrowed, showing a fine line.
Heinrich didn't move, just maintained this posture and looked at him quietly.
He has indeed become thinner for a while, his complexion is cold and transparent pale, his cheeks are sharp and deep when viewed from the side, and his eyelashes cast a thick black fan shape on the side of his nose. He always seems to be hiding countless thoughts, even in his sleep, the corners of his mouth are tightly pursed, showing a deep shadow around his lips.
Heinrich reached out his hand to smooth the mark, but he hesitated before his fingertips touched it.
-what are you thinking about
The emperor thought of the scene when he had just established the imperial army and was exhausted under the overwhelming siege of the alliance. In fact, there was no such thing as the Imperial Army at that time. The Alliance called them rebels. They had no military pay, no grounds, and no popular support. They were running for their lives every day, worried that they would not have enough to eat, and worried that they would wake up again after falling asleep. Not coming.
—but then he wasn't so worried.
Looking back on that time now, it seems that no matter how difficult it is, a group of people will accompany him through it; as long as he can survive the devastated today, he does not have to worry about the foreseeable victory tomorrow.
Heinly looked at Celia's face, and understood the difference between them in a trance:
Even in the most difficult and difficult times, he only needs to worry about the current situation, just like now he only cares about the status quo of the empire and the contradictions in front of him; and Celia, even if the power is in power and everything is going well, he still worries about it for a hundred years. post-distant future.
Therefore, he refused to solve the alliance's dilemma by drinking poison to quench thirst—he refused to join forces with the Dark Star Hall to counterattack the empire, and he also refused to use the "one country, two systems" method to exchange money from the empire to solve the urgent need.
It cannot be said which of these two ways of thinking is right and which is wrong. This is just a difference in the way of thinking of those in power. Celia, as a person who has lived for five hundred years, has never worried about death, and seems to live with the alliance forever, has a very coherent vision of seeing things, and he is also obliged to find a way out of the many obstacles in front of him. Heinrich's way of thinking is completely different. This strong man who descended out of thin air overthrew the entire political system with the momentum of sweeping away everything, established a new social order, and made the powerful The empire rose from flat ground in a very short time—
He is an opponent that makes Celia completely unpredictable and impossible to parry.
The whole hall was silent, only the faint gunfire from the headset could be heard. Those alliance commanders argued, scolded, and yelled in the battle channel, and were finally overwhelmed by more violent explosions.
The Legion of Glory has initially gained control of the Capitol, and all that remains is to further clear the remnants of the rebels and seize control of the deep-rooted aristocratic families in the parliament... In a deeper sense, perhaps the harder and longer battle has just begun.
Celia, however, did not wake up.
At the moment of victory, he was still immersed in sleep, unaware of the sporadic gunfire and cheers of the people.
Heinrich's paused fingers finally landed on the corner of Celia's lips, trying to gently flatten the drooping arc.
However, after a movement, Celia hummed vaguely, and subconsciously turned her head to avoid the finger. Heinrich chased after him and pressed it twice again, Celia finally protested vaguely, turned his head and said vaguely: "What are you doing..."
Heinrich laughed and reached out to hug him to lie down and sleep. But Lycilla woke up before she had time to force her, and lazily raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, "... Heinrich? Why are you?"
"You borrow my base station, my channel, and you don't allow me to inspect the work?" The emperor straightened up, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I came here, so I found out that you are lazy—why are you sleeping here, in case you catch a cold?" How to do?"
Celia waved her hands and yawned, and listened to the headset for a while. After confirming that the battle on the Andromeda galaxy tens of millions of light-years away was over, she took off the headset and threw it on the podium: "It's all your fault." I haven't settled with you for what happened, but I have the face to inspect the work."
Heinrich retorted: "It was you who brought the Dark Star Hall to the empire. It hasn't settled with you yet, so it has the face to come to peace talks?"
"...you mallet—"
Celia couldn't help laughing, and fumbled for something on the podium with her backhand. Heinrich poured a glass of water and handed it to him at the right time. Celia saw it, agreed, and reached out to pick it up to drink, but the emperor wrapped his hand around and directly handed the glass to his mouth: "Here."
The Alliance Marshal shook his head helplessly, but took a few sips from his hand, and waved his hand to signal that he didn't want it.
Heinrich also knew that he wasn't really thirsty, so he didn't reason about it. He just drank all the water he had drunk before licking his lips and asking, "What should we do next?"
"Wu's finished the text, let's make a public speech for the whole universe."
"Are you okay?"
"I really can't," Celia didn't deny, "Isn't it because of Kaleyan's help?"
Heinrich smiled slightly—but he might have beaten Kaleyan at the state banquet. At this time, he didn't immediately turn on the mocking mode, but just sat down on the podium, "What should I do after the speech? The Conceitlin family is extinct? The eldest lady of his family is still waiting for you on the Egret, or I can be a good person and send her to the alliance for you—”
There was a malicious smile on his face. Celia tilted her head and looked at it for a while, and said affirmatively, "You came to see me making a joke today."
Heinrich immediately blinked at him with a knowing look.
"..." Celia asked embarrassingly, "what can you laugh at about me?"
Although he asked this in an innocent tone, the emperor still did not give up his malice.
"See how you use your own soldiers to destroy the Conceitlin family—and then think about how you plan to explain to Edna, how many years old lover, how can you coax her to cry? What about it? Or maybe you're actually feeling really bad right now, let me see how much of your deep affection you have for her... "
Celia turned her head away from looking at him, but the emperor deliberately turned sideways and stood in front of him: "Why, it's really an old relationship?"
According to the energy with which he asked this question, if the answer is yes, it is estimated that tonight will be endless. Celia was a little helpless and said, "It's been so many years—"
"After so many years of fighting against each other, you still haven't broken up your love?"
"No, let me tell you Heinrich, if she is an Alpha, her political talent is not much worse than yours—"
"So it's true love. I just pay you back a few times and it won't make me look good. She still has more affection for doing this, tsk tsk."
"No, no, this and that are two different things. I don't want to say anything more about your attitude—"
"You don't need to say anything, I'm just here to watch the show. Do you want me to help you connect to the Bailuxing political prison? Anyway, I even lent you the special military communication, and it doesn't matter to chat with my old lover..."
The more the emperor talked, the more enthusiastic he was. Celia tried to interrupt several times but failed. She immediately got up and was angry. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a "goo-": Heinrich: "Yeah!" ?”
Celia: "..."
The two emperors looked at each other in dismay, and after a long while, there was another "Gu—"!
The marshal turned his head with a flushed face, Heinrich moved his eyes to his abdomen, smiled and said affirmatively: "You are hungry."
·
This is really a strange thing: if estrus is the most embarrassing and private side of Omega, then Silia has already shown this side to Heinrich without any psychological barriers. It stands to reason that the relationship between the two There should be no gap between them; however, when the "goo—" sounded, he subconsciously covered his face.
The atmosphere of the quarrel suddenly disappeared, and Heinrich laughed and called the kitchen to order a meal, and then began to ask Celia what he had for dinner with endless interest. When he knew that Celia ate a double serving of stewed steak with milk and fruit just two hours ago, which shocked Kaleyan and others, he finally couldn't help laughing and asked: "You didn't eat much before? Could it be? Empire food is more appetizing? Since this is the case, why not come to the empire, the alliance can't even eat enough, hahaha... "
Celia opened her mouth to retort, but suddenly she was so hungry that she had to sit aside to gather energy and concentrate on waiting for food.
After all, it was the emperor who ordered the meal himself, and the people in the palace kitchen moved very quickly. After a while, they packed up two huge silver dinner plates and sent them to the robot butler. When I opened the lid, I saw a large bowl of mushroom rice, fish in orange and green sauce, neatly cut steaks, and seasonal fresh moonlight flower salad. The bowl is full of crystal clear diamond fruits, and the bowl is surrounded by freshly picked mint leaves, and the refreshing fragrance hits the face immediately.
The chef probably knew that this was not something the emperor wanted to eat, so he worked so hard that Celia went down half a bowl of rice before he could even say a word. After finally suppressing the feeling of heartburn from hunger, he took a spoon to eat the green sauce again, but the emperor immediately stopped him when he saw it: "This is sour! I'll mix it with soup for you later, and then eat it with fish meat , or all the teeth will be knocked out later!"
Celia's expression remained unchanged. Under the emperor's astonished eyes, she took a big mouthful of green sauce calmly and said, "I think it's okay."
"..." Heinrich grabbed his hand and licked it with a spoon in doubt. In the next second, the emperor spat all over the floor, and said angrily, "Did you deliberately trick me into tasting it?"
Celia laughed lazily and threw the spoon away: "You found out."
As he said that, he turned his head and told the machine butler: "Send this bowl of diamond fruit to the command room downstairs. Kaleyan and the others like to eat it, so it's just for them to eat at night; send this steak, too, but don't give them alcohol."
The robot nodded and stepped forward, but was stopped by Heinrich before it could make a move: "Who do you want to give it to?"
"Card-"
"Kaleyan, the five scumbags in the war, will be fine if he doesn't starve to death, who dares to give him something to eat?!"
Celia: "..."
robot:"… "
The Gemini emperor was completely unreasonable, immediately put the dinner plate in his arms, and shouted at the robot: "It's none of your business here! Go back and refill the engine oil!" Then he squinted at Celia, and took a The diamond fruit shook in front of him: "I won't give it if I say I won't give it. I'm the emperor, do you know that? -I've seen you two not pleasing to the eye, even thinking about him when eating! When did you ever think about eating? I?"
"This..." Where is all this
Celia opened her mouth to refute, but was interrupted by the emperor before she could make a sound: "No matter how deep the relationship between you two is, you have to give in in front of me. Didn't you see him beating him on the day of our banquet? Don't tell me he is the marshal of the alliance , in my eyes, he is nothing, one day I will piss him off if he gets annoyed!"
Celia snatched back the diamond fruit and asked angrily, "Where are you dissatisfied with him?"
Heinrich snatched the fruit away: "I'm not satisfied with your old lover!"
The two of them looked at each other across the table, their gazes sparked crackling lightning in the air.
After a few moments, Celia suddenly got up to grab the diamond fruit, but this time Heinrich learned the lesson, spit on the fruit with lightning speed, turned his head and said frantically: "Here, here you are!" !Now you can take it to Kalyan!"
"..." Celia ran through ten thousand grass and mud horses in an instant, and asked convulsively, "Who did you hear that I have that kind of relationship with Kaleyan?!"
"See for yourself!"
"How can you take what you see for yourself?"
"Why can't you take it seriously?!"
Celia stood up suddenly, feeling a bad breath rushing into her heart, and stared at Heinrich for a while and asked coldly: "If this can be taken seriously, then what is the relationship between you and Aaron, do you want to explain?"
Heinrich: "…"
In an instant, the emperor felt the thunder coming down from the sky, and with a cracking sound, the outside was scorched and the inside was tender.
However, the thing that made him even more struck by lightning was still to come - as soon as Celia's voice fell, a trembling voice came from the door: "Yuan...Marshal?!"
Celia: "..."
Heinrich: "…"
When they looked back, they saw Aaron and Kaleyan standing side by side at the door holding a large pile of documents and materials in their hands.
The four of them looked at each other, and the expressions of the two men cracked at the same time.
