Star Knight Emperor

The sky is not yet bright, and everything is on the ambiguous edge of sleep and awakening. The morning mist is like a veil of shimmering light, gently swaying with the breeze.The color in the dream is shattered when the eyes are suddenly opened. When the eyelids are not light when first waking up, when the eyelids are closed, the faint light comes in. The light sensitivity on the eyeballs brings the color back to the disturbing color just now. Lichter had to keep his eyes open to drive away the picture.

Yesterday, after a short meeting with Carlos, he was too busy to fall asleep until very late. Speaking of which, it has been a long time since he had a dream about his childhood.

When Licht was ten years old, the Emperor of the Star Empire brought his concubine Anna and two young princes to visit the Kingdom of Bellman. Licht and Carlos got acquainted at this time. Anna was right, the friendship between boys is mysterious For example, because of the apple pie incident, he wanted to beat Carlos into a meat pie and serve it on the table, but strangely, the two quickly established a difficult friendship.

Even good enough to sleep in the same bed at night.You must know that from the time he could remember, he slept alone in a spacious and deserted room, until a few years later, his younger brother who was four years younger learned to act like a baby to his older brother, occasionally rubbing against his bed at night.

With Carlos, almost every day is fresh, and everything is full of fun. He has golden hair and a sunny smile. Lichter thinks that the prince in a fairy tale should be like him—except for his personality The particularly arrogant part of the book.At least he wasn't so cold and boring. No one would use himself as a prototype to create His Royal Highness in fairy tales. That would not be a fairy tale at all.

After returning to the Star Empire, the two still kept in touch. Two years later, when Lichter was 12 years old, Carlos' father signed an agreement with the Star Empire, voluntarily accepting the empire's governance, and there was no Behrman Kingdom ever since. , there was only the Behrman sector of the Star Empire, and then the former king of Behrman committed suicide, and Carlos disappeared, so he lost contact with him.

Lichter lost his first friend in life, and soon he lost Princess Anna, his mother.

Carlos came back after eight years.Princess Anna appeared in his dream, but never came back.

It wasn't just Carlos who changed, everyone, including him, changed.

Although Lichter has a distinguished status, since he became the governor, he has to commute to and from work on time like all public officials. However, Lichter has always had working hours and no off-duty hours. He was too busy. The sudden death of the former governor left a mess He has to clean up next to each other, including some people who are still in high positions at present-

Cleaning is a meticulous job, and the cleaning should be done vigorously and reasonably. The rotten mud should be removed so that new flesh and bones can grow healthily. The sharp knife has already been pierced, but now only the skin is removed, which is painless.

It's not enough, he needs strength, talent, everything is far from enough, not only for the things in front of him, but also for what he has always wanted.

The attendants helped Lichter change his clothes, and only the earrings Licht had to put on himself, and he never wanted to borrow the hands of others.He put on the purple diamond-shaped earrings, which were Princess Anna's favorite earrings during her lifetime. Now one is worn by him every day, and the other is kept by his brother.

Outsiders lamented that it was Lichter's commemoration of Princess Anna. Only Lichter knew that it was not just about Anna. He touched the earrings and affirmed in his heart that it was not just.

Lichter arrived at his office an hour earlier than the statutory working time, and soon the secretary he picked up by himself arrived at the door. Obviously, having such a hardworking boss is a blessing to his hard-working subordinates.

For the slack, it is the beginning of the pain.

"Good morning, Your Highness, I'm really worried to disturb you so early, but here are a few urgent items that I need you to look over."

Clerk Lily quickly transferred the file to the light screen in front of Lichter's desk. During her time with Lichter, she learned that His Highness was not just putting on a show to gain fame, as long as he When you come to the office, you have to start working, and you don’t plan to drink tea to pass the time when you arrive early, so Lily also cooperates and changes her own time. She is a person who loves work and does not complain about hard work and trouble.

After Richter finished handling a few urgent cases, Lily said again: "There is also the arrangement for Mr. Carlos Berman at the celebration banquet. It has been temporarily put on hold according to your wishes, but tomorrow night is the banquet, and the etiquette is the latest." It must be confirmed today, you see..."

The electronic pen in Lichter's hand turned around, and his eyes scanned the ceiling for a short time, just a few seconds.

"The etiquette is done as my knight."

Lily was taken aback, but she was a smart girl, she didn't make a rude surprise or show an exaggerated expression, she quickly calmed down, she was Licht's right-hand man, but she had no right to interfere Lichter made a choice about the ownership of the Cavaliers.

Lily: "Yes, Your Highness, I will arrange it immediately."

If the prince who is the governor has his own knight, then the distribution of power in the governor's mansion will change again. Lily is not a talkative person, but this matter will soon spread its wings and fly to the ears of everyone up and down. .

But Carlos hasn't agreed yet.The pen in his hand turned around again, and the order had been issued. If Carlos chose not to stand by his side in the end, Licht would have to order the withdrawal of the knightly etiquette. .

Lichter put down his pen and was about to pick up his teacup when a message came in.

After reading the content, Lichter's mind quickly flashed the possibility and the way to deal with it. He got up, still walking gracefully, but he did disappear into the office very quickly.

Lily blinked, turned around and silently devoted herself to her work.

Carlos stayed up all night, staring at the ceiling in a daze after the message was sent.There is only one communication channel on the new optical brain, which is Lichter's channel.

After regaining his senses, Carlos lowered his head and pulled his clothes, and decided to take care of himself before Lichter came, at least not to use this messy appearance to talk about the next thing.

Carlos originally thought that the time was quite early. Maybe Lichter was still resting and didn’t see the message when he sent it—this is why he didn’t choose to talk, for fear of disturbing Lichter’s rest. I was very surprised when I said "a guest came to visit".

So early!

Carlos spit out the foam two or three times, grabbed the clothes and quickly changed them. The clothes in the room were all casual clothes sent by Hitt, and he hadn't touched any of them before today.He wrapped his dirty and wrinkled clothes into a ball and threw them into the bathroom to hide his eyes. He closed the bathroom door, quickly grabbed two handfuls of hair, and came to the door. The screen showed that the visitor outside was really Lichter.

Today's His Royal Highness is also well-dressed, maybe he doesn't look as bad as yesterday?

It was less than 10 minutes since he sent the message, that is to say, Licht got up early at no time during rest, and Carlos was in a hurry because of his misreading of the prince's work and rest time.

Now he needs to calmly open the door and welcome the honorable person.

Lichter didn't mind at all that Carlos left him outside the door to dry for a few minutes. He noticed that Carlos was finally willing to change his clothes and tidy up his appearance, although he didn't take care of it meticulously. Decadent at least has the appearance of talking about serious business.

Licht folded his arms and didn't sit down. After entering the door, he asked straight to the point, "So you got the answer?"

His tone was flat, he didn't look expectant or nervous, it seemed.But Carlos knew that he had a little habit, that is, when he was nervous, he crossed his arms in front of him, and the index finger and middle finger of his left hand would lightly tap on his arm.Carlos noticed the small movements of Lichter's fingers, which was the same as when he was a child.

His Royal Highness is calm on the surface, but in fact he is also nervous and has feelings, which means that he is expected by others.

To be honest, this made him feel uncomfortable, with a vague sense of guilt.However, the decision has already been made, and Carlos is not going to regret it temporarily.He only hoped that Lichter would not devote too much to himself, if he was only used as a pawn, then it was very welcome.

He knelt down on one knee in front of Licht, held up Licht's palm, and placed the royal crest in Licht's palm.

Carlos: "The information I checked last night is what I learned and what I sell. The posture may not be standard enough. I don't know if there are other requirements for the oath. Even if you dislike it, I can only do this now."

Licht lowered his eyelids, watching him silently.

Carlos knelt on one knee and bowed slightly, lowered his head, and put his right fist on his heart. This is not a palace, there are no flowers and crowns, and no other witnesses, but no one can deny the solemnity and solemnity of this moment. Voices burst from the chest.

"Glory to the stars, Carlos Bellman hereby swears an oath to my lord to prove my will."

"Humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul!"

"I swear that I will turn into a sword and cut the road of thorns for you!"

"I swear that I will turn into a shield and protect you forever, rain or shine!"

"I swear to dedicate everything to you, my soul will shine for you from now on, and my blood will boil for you from now on!"

"I swear that you are the highest love in my life, and I will love you until death!"

"My allegiance, my life, to my One and Only Sovereign, now and forever."

Sure enough, it was different from rehearsing alone. When reciting the words last night, there was no such a big movement in the chest, and the blood was not so hot that it boiled in the body. An oath seemed to have imprinted in the depths of the soul, and it trembled uncontrollably.

Oh, this is really... Carlos smiled wryly in his heart.

After taking the oath, he held up Lichter's hand, and imprinted a pious kiss on the badge in the palm of his hand.The cold badge was warmed by Lichter's palm, Carlos thought, the oath just now is not a lie, he can do it, but the so-called eternity will be broken at the moment of his death.

As for giving your life?wish for it.

Carlos bowed his head respectfully.

It wasn't a proper ceremony, but it worked, and without a sword in hand, Lichter held up the badge and stamped a kiss on the back.

"Licht Julius, give you light and glory, and lead you on the road ahead. Be loyal to me! Love me deeply! My knight! I will lead you to great honor , the light of the soul is eternal! Glory to the stars, long live the stars!"

Between the royal family and the knights, there is no single arrow. They cannot be coerced or threatened. A new knight will only be born if both parties are willing.Under the witness of the stars, as long as he voluntarily accepts the badge from the royal family, he will be a knight of the royal family from then on.

From this moment on, at any time from now on, Carlos is Licht's knight, a fact that will not change until they die.

Lichter: "Your days of eating and drinking in the Governor's Mansion are over, next, put away your pretentiousness first, I don't want to hear other people's accusations, saying that Your Highness, your knight is a disrespectful hooligan. "

Carlos: "Of course, I promise you don't need to worry about it."

"Although there are many things waiting for you, don't be in such a hurry for a few minutes." Lichter teased: "How about going to take a shower first, and then enjoy breakfast?"

Carlos wants face, but his face is relatively thick, so even though he knew that Lichter was teasing him for his strong smell that others could clearly smell, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and agreed without changing his face.He was going to do this at first and go to see Licht after packing up, but the sudden visit of His Royal Highness interrupted his plan.

An innocuous interlude.

He really needs to take good care of himself, and would like to catch up on sleep if possible, but on the first day of taking office, let's give his boss some face.

"Send you the road map layout of the Governor's Mansion, and see me at the Governor's Office after sorting it out."

When Lily entered the governor's office again, she saw Lichter in a rare daze, staring at her hand in a daze.

Lichter has a pair of very beautiful hands, not only because they are pampered and well-maintained, the bones, outline and length are beautiful enough, Lichter's appearance is indeed impeccable from the face to the fingertips, it is perfect, just sitting There, it makes the whole room shine.

Lily's gaze also fell on his fingertips. Lichter was holding his left hand in front of his eyes. His index and middle fingers moved slightly. He muttered in a self-deprecating tone: "I'm such a despicable person."

After speaking, he seemed to have noticed that there was someone more in the room, and he raised his head and smiled at Lily.

The face of an angel, the charm of a devil.

Lily didn't dare to be rude, she looked away.As for Lichter's words just now, she carefully asked, "What troubles Your Highness?"

"No, it's better to say it's a good thing. But you're going to have another boss. How's Carlos's etiquette?"

Lily immediately understood what Lichter meant. Their highness would indeed have his own knight, and the name of Carlos should also be changed.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. I am about to report on the etiquette system, and I will definitely satisfy you and His Excellency Carlos."

The author has something to say:

In the knight's oath, "humility, integrity, compassion, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul" quotes the good qualities that a knight should possess in the knight's declaration. The knight's declaration is very courageous to read, so you can search it.But I think that is the knight's oath to the world and mankind, and Carlos' oath here is just an oath to Lichter (feels like a confession, um)
