Tomorrow's Ark, the Battle of the Sick

"Don't worry, what about you, you haven't slept so late?"

"--I can not sleep."

"So you called me?" The doctor said with a wry smile, "But I'm pretty much the same, so we just happened to have a chat."

The other side was silent for a while, so quiet that only the sound of her even breathing remained, so the doctor took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Have you been busy with work recently?"

"If you want to ask about military expansion—"

"No, I just want to know your situation, not internal affairs." The doctor interrupted Emperor Ursus softly, "I believe you can do what you want to do, but pay attention to step by step and don't get tired."

"—I always have."

"That's right, this is you." The doctor said helplessly, "However, it should be okay for me to care about you once in a while and listen to what I say?"

Emperor Ursus was a little speechless, and couldn't help but make a 'huh' sound. Although it was very soft, the doctor heard it clearly, and he could even imagine the expression on the other side at this time.

"What's the matter with you?" After a while, Emperor Ursus' voice became calm again, "I heard that you are airdropping supplies and even soldiers to Victoria, so you are not afraid of offending Robert."

"I still have some worries. After all, you and I know Robert. He is a talented general and very ambitious." The doctor admitted frankly, "It's also a pity. I sympathize with his feeling of being squeezed out by his colleagues, but he also Rejecting the opportunity given by the Queen, the victory of the Great War dazzled his mind and made him willing to take the risk to obtain Victoria."

"Have you tried reconciliation?"

"It is said that his reconciliation condition is to judge the queen, and only in this way can the rationality of his actions be guaranteed, but I will not let him succeed, even if I stand opposite him."

Emperor Ursus was silent for a moment.

"Is it for the child named 'Vina'?"

"Yeah, she's been feeling guilty for what she's done, making that kid responsible for everything, so even though she's never said it to me before, I decided to help her as much as I could because I love her so much."

said the doctor softly.

"Just like how I feel about you."

After both parties confessed their intentions, the doctor and Emperor Ursus no longer maintained the superficial politeness and etiquette, although the doctor was so frank in showing his love to the empress that the other party was silent for a long time.

"The empire will also support the Victorian royal family, but the strength will not be too great, with only a small amount of supplies and military advisors. After all, other countries are watching."

"It doesn't matter, we can do it, but I heard that she is your distant cousin?"

"—Yes, although there is only a little blood relationship, it belongs to my mother's family."

"No wonder she is so close to you." The doctor said with a smile, "Although your personalities are not the same at all."

"—I want you to take care of it~."

Emperor Ursus's whispered complaint, probably the doctor in the entire Terra was lucky enough to experience it, it was completely different from the empress's usual glamorous and noble posture, and even felt a bit cute.

At this moment, the mature and beautiful Emperor Ursus is like a girl confiding in her lover, although only for a short moment.

"Then how did you meet?"

"—When I was young, my mother took me to visit Victoria. At that time, she was still very young. When the Duke saw me for the first time, she kept surrounding me and called me sister." Emperor Ursus fell into the memory, "Although I didn't expect that all these years After that, I became the emperor and she became the queen."

"In Yuan Shan's words, fate is fickle, just like I didn't expect to meet you."

The doctor is also a little emotional about this, after all, he is also a witness of the two.

"Yuan Shan, is your operator, right?"

"Yes, resting on the bed outside now."

"—Hmph, yes."

Hearing Emperor Ursus humming softly, the doctor realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly tried to remedy it.

"By the way, when I was sorting things out recently, guess what I saw?"

"Don't guess, just tell me."

"I thought about it for a while, and then I remembered that you gave me the fairy tale reader, and I kept it carefully." The doctor said in a teasing tone, "I kind of miss the days when I told you stories."

If it hadn't been for the pursuit of conflicts with the previous ruling class of the Ursus Empire, and being separated from the operator on the way, the doctor would not have strayed into that garden, let alone be sheltered by her for several days.

At that time, the lonely Katerina liked the doctor telling her stories before going to bed.

Hearing the doctor mention the past, Emperor Ursus didn't know what to say, but just faced the communicator, looking at the photo he had seen countless times in his hand.

The long silver hair shone brightly under the dim light in the cubicle, and Emperor Ursas's deep and beautiful eyes were like stars, like a lonely girl who suddenly woke up from a dream, facing the whole world alone.

On the other side of the communicator is all her spiritual sustenance.

The Doctor sensed her silence.

"I'm sorry to have brought you this far, Katerina."

In the communicator, the doctor's voice was gentle and sincere, and Emperor Ursus shook his head lightly, even though the other party couldn't see him.

"This is my choice. Instead of letting the empire disintegrate, as the remaining blood, some responsibilities were doomed when I was born, and you helped me."

"Actually, sometimes I wonder, if you weren't the emperor of the empire, would I be able to keep you by my side, although I just think about it."

"—sorry, I cannot abandon my duties, although—"

"It doesn't matter. After all, this is you. You don't need to submit to anyone, including me, let alone change anything for others. This is what I appreciate." The doctor said with a wry smile, "Anyway, wait for future technological developments, such as airborne After the tool is developed, we can also meet anytime and anywhere.”
