The imperial capital of the Landia Empire is named Landia, and it is not as beautiful as many people imagined.The planet's rocky layers are shrouded in thick ice, and blizzards and cold winds rage year-round on the planet's surface.In the well-documented history, the civilization on the imperial capital was destroyed seven times by severe cold, heavy rain, flood and meteorite impact, and it was rebuilt on ice and ruins seven times.Today, when people dig deep into the ice, they can still find a large number of relics of past civilizations.

This planet is gradually moving away from its star every minute and every second. The climate is extremely cold, and the surface temperature is below minus 23 degrees all year round.And every [-] years, Didu star will intersect with a group of ice comets, which will bring a lot of precipitation.Before the torrential rain falls to the ground, it turns into hail, and then freezes to ice on the ground.As a result, the ice layer of the imperial star is getting thicker and larger, and it has become one of the largest habitable stars in the Milky Way.However, because the density of the ice layer is low, the gravity on the surface is not too great. If it is the same volume and mainly rocky planets, it will be difficult for people to move freely on it.

Strictly speaking, for most intelligent races in the universe, the harsh natural environment of Imperial Star cannot be called a "livable star".However, the fact is that this icy, white, and translucent giant planet gave birth to the most intelligent race in the galaxy and the incomparably brilliant Landia civilization.The harsh external environment not only did not break down the Lantian people, but made them as strong as steel, and they will be unyielding and work hard in any difficulties.

To this day, the intelligence, perseverance, and unity of the Landia people are famous throughout the galaxy. The empire they established has become one of the largest countries in the galaxy, with thousands of star systems under their rule, which is even bigger than this star that is slowly being frozen. There are countless habitable stars that are warmer, more beautiful, and easier to live in on Landia, but only here is the imperial capital of Landia, where their roots are.The real Landia people will basically not leave the imperial capital until they reach adulthood, and the royal family of Landia even lived on this planet for most of their lives.

The imperial palace of the empire is a huge ice palace like a mountain range. Most of the direct and collateral members of the Landia royal family live here, and there are also many upper-level officials of the empire and servants serving the royal family living in the periphery.With the development of science and technology to this point, although the royal family of Lantia has always emphasized that they should not indulge in enjoyment and keep in mind the hard years experienced by their ancestors, in repeated transformations, this ice palace is still made of ice except for the outer wall Besides, there are few other traces of the past left.

The soft long hair was picked up by slender fingers, quickly but gently braided into a slender braid, and then wrapped around it and put into the bun; on the ear temple, pinned a flower with petals as white as moonlight. The flower, the golden stamen trembling slightly, exudes a faint fragrance; in the white and slender neck, the huge gemstones shine with colorful colors, noble and gorgeous; The beads shone like stars in the sky falling on the hem of her skirt.

Selinda sat by the window, turned slightly sideways, and looked at her familiar yet unfamiliar self in the mirror.Four tall, pretty girls arranged her hair and clothes, and their skillful hands were like the most skilled painters, little by little, dressing her up into a beautiful appearance that she didn't even know.

There is no girl who does not love beauty, even though Selinda has always been like a tomboy, her inner admiration for beauty is no less than that of ordinary girls.However, at this moment, she looked at the girl in the mirror with calm eyes, not even a hint of a smile.

A man appeared at the door. Most of his hair had turned silver-white, but it was still combed meticulously behind his head.The black handmade uniform was straight without any wrinkles, and the collar was as white as the dust-free snow on the eaves of the ice palace.The corners of his eyes are drooping, the bridge of his nose is straight, and his lips are thin. He seems to be a difficult face to get along with, but his pair of light blue eyes are like two lakes, rippling with a warm smile and youthful vitality. People feel good.

Several maids had also finished dressing up at this time, bowed slightly to salute, and then retreated quietly.Selinda saw the man standing at the door from a corner of the mirror, and called softly, "Uncle Lance."

Lance came over, bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "My little princess, your beauty makes the stars no longer shine."

Selinda hooked the corners of her lips reluctantly, and said: "It's not my credit, it's because they draw well."

"Your Highness, you are too humble." Lance came over, stood behind her, looked at Selinda in the mirror and said, "Apart from you, who else deserves to have this brilliance?"

Selinda was silent for a while as if she didn't hear what he said, and then suddenly asked, "Will he come?"

She asked abruptly, but Lance didn't seem surprised at all.He said: "After Prison Star and Isli separated, I haven't received any news about that person. I have told people to pay attention. If you want to see him, I can..."

"No, don't." Selinda shook her head hurriedly, resisting and said: "Don't do unnecessary things."

Lance lowered his eyes and sighed, "I understand."

Selinda was stunned for a while, and then said: "I know that the prison star can't trap the captain, he will find a way to leave sooner or later. But I didn't expect it to be so soon... I don't want to see him until the day after tomorrow. If he's coming...if he's coming...Lance, stop him for me."

"Yes." Lance said.

Selinda looked at herself in the glasses again, blinked her eyes, held back her tears, and then slowly showed a bright and generous smile. For a moment, she was so beautiful.

She turned around, all the weakness and wavering in her eyes disappeared, her expression was awe-inspiring and calm, her eyebrows and eyes were half-down, and there seemed to be a kind of intimidating power on her body.

When Lance looked at her, it was as if a fire was lit in his eyes, eager, focused, proud, and gratified. All kinds of emotions were intertwined and complicated, and finally attributed to pure loyalty.He made a sideways concession, stroked his chest with one hand, and lowered his head deeply, as if dedicating his heart, wisdom, life, and future to the person in front of him.

Selinda passed him, walked out the door, walked down the long corridor, through the wide hall, where guards and maidservants bowed or knelt respectfully to her on both sides of the road.Then she walked to a huge ice door carved with intricate and ornate patterns.

Selinda paused slightly, and then continued to move forward. Two maids in long white dresses pushed open the door at the same time.

Outside the door, ceremonies and music rang together, and cheers exploded like a mountain roar and a tsunami!

A fleet is traveling thirty light years away from the imperial capital.On the big screen in the ship's lounge, the scene in front of the Star Ice Palace of the Imperial Capital is being played. Although there are disciplines to prohibit cheering and shouting, the officers and soldiers on the ship still try their best to convey their joy. Both fleshy palms were flushed red.

On one of the boats, Bai Le squatted on the chair in Bai Xiang's ward, also looked at the display screen hanging on the wall, and muttered: "This stinky girl has really become a great big shot!"

Bai Xiang raised his arm and slapped him on the back of the head, cursing: "What nonsense, I will call you Your Majesty the Empress from now on!"

"What's the big deal, she even snatched chicken legs from me before!" Bai Le replied, and seeing Bai Xiang raised his arms again, he hurriedly hugged his head and shouted: "I know, I know! Your Majesty, my name is Isn't Her Majesty the Queen okay?"

Peeking at Bai Xiang's hand down, Bai Le leaned forward, nudged him, and said in a low voice, "Dad, you...you really don't mind?"

In the final analysis, Bai Xiang will be reduced to prison star for more than 100 years, and his family business will be disbanded. Although he can leave the prison star now, he still has to accept supervision as a prisoner.All of this originated from the fact that he tried to rob the spaceship where Sai Linda was in, but in the end he was forced to act as a free bodyguard, and most of the people under him were dead and disabled. , can no longer become a climate.

Bai Xiang was silent for a long while with a complex expression, and then said: "Skills are not as good as others, winners and losers, what else is there to say. Besides, for that incident, I can blame myself for not having eyes for bumping into someone I can't afford to offend." , can you still blame others for being too strong and unwilling to be robbed by me obediently?"

Bai Le was dumbfounded. After thinking for a while, he suddenly laughed again.

Bai wanted to stare at him, and said: "What did you think of the stinky boy, laughing so disgustingly?"

Bai Le smiled to himself and didn't speak.

He just remembered that Bai wanted to either keep silent about that incident back then, or lose his temper when he mentioned it, but now that he can admit that he was wrong, it can be seen that he has really let go.And since leaving Prison Star, Bai Xiang's good father's personality is collapsing day by day, and he often raises his eyebrows and eyes at him, but it is more serious than when he was holding him in the palm of his hand for fear of falling and holding him in his mouth for fear of melting. Make him feel at ease.

At this time, the quietest place on the spaceship is the lounge where the commander is.

There is no music, no video screen, no cheering, and the sound insulation effect of the closed door is good, blocking all the noisy voices outside the door.But Yisli sat alone on the chair, looking up at the sky, but seemed to be able to hear all the voices.

He poured a glass of wine, respected him from a distance, and drank it all in one gulp.The wine flowed down the corner of his mouth into his collar, he raised his hand to wipe it casually, put down the glass, and poured another full glass.

"Selinda..."

He whispered softly, and his voice was swallowed by the silent air in an instant.

Even he himself couldn't tell whether he had made a sound just now.

In the second month, it is the No.13 artificial satellite around Didu Star. The star core inside the satellite is a huge nuclear fusion device. This artificial sun continuously provides light and heat for the entire satellite, so this satellite is year-round Warm as spring, with green grass and strange flowers everywhere, compared with the main star Diduxing, it looks like a young girl with delicate makeup and silk all over her body, while Diduxing is a silent tough guy with a cold expression and licking blood .

The most incredible thing is that this artificial satellite with pleasant climate and beautiful scenery is actually privately owned.

In front of a white castle on the surface of the planet, a long-haired woman is sitting sideways on the grass. Two boys are sweating profusely after chasing and playing, and then laughing and scrambling to throw themselves into her arms, pulling her arms and rolling behave in a spoiled manner.

A person came out from the door behind her and called out, "Amy Rita, the Queen's coronation ceremony has begun, do you want to watch it?"
