Star Knight Emperor

Carlos and Kerry were locked in a prison facing each other. Through the transparent prison door, Carlos leaned against the wall, and he could see Kerry's hateful gaze opposite him with a casual glance.Just after he was locked up, Kerry snarled at him like a wild animal, bared his teeth, and even howled blood from his mouth, which showed the horror of losing control of his emotions.

Now that I have no strength, I stare instead.

"Carlos!"

"It's been three days," Carlos said lightly, "You're still so energetic."

It's been three days, and I don't know what happened to Licht.In fact, he understood Kerry's mood very well, because when his highness was lying there covered in blood, he also went crazy.

A lunatic doesn't listen to people's words, especially a lunatic who loses control of his anger. He will only act instinctively according to his emotions.Kerry was shot twice by Carlos. Of course, Kerry didn't hate this. His highness died at the hands of the prisoner on the opposite side. Carlos was the murderer who killed Ivy.

Carlos is actually afraid of this matter. What he is afraid of is that if he doesn't catch up, if he doesn't make it in time, Licht, he... Carlos will have such a picture in his mind from time to time these two days. Dare to think again, when his consciousness is chaotic, he will often be awakened. In fact, his mental state is very bad. When he is awake, he has to react for a while, and then hide his face and rejoice-fortunately, fortunately, he caught up.

Lichter was taken away by the medical team. They did say that Licht was saved. Unlike a certain prince who died at his hands, Licht could survive.

Regarding the fact that he killed Ivy when he lost control of his rage, he didn't regret it at all, and it was useless to regret it anyway.It's just... It's a pity, the emperor will definitely not let him go, and he won't be able to accompany Licht in the future.As soon as I stepped into the cage made by that cunning Highness, I had to leave the stage. I wonder if His Highness will feel the same regret?

Licht... Carlos gripped the knight badge tightly.Because the situation was so special this time, they just threw themselves in like this, and they didn't change their clothes into prison uniforms, and they didn't take away anything except weapons, optical brains, etc.His fingers slid across the metal wings, and this action caused Kerry to explode again.

"Ahh! You are a sinner! Thug! Your Highness! Your Highness Ivy!"

Carlos held the badge and thought of His Royal Highness, and came to the person on the other side of his mind a little bit, "Stop screaming, I am a sinner, and so are you."

Kerry looked as if he wanted to smash the door in front of him. Carlos saw that his fist was bloody and bloody, but the flesh couldn't open the prison door, let alone two.

"You actually killed His Royal Highness Ivy, you mad dog! Ahh, Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"Hey, it's also a dog, should I express my sympathy for you?" Carlos grinned, showing his white teeth, "My master is still alive, but your master is gone."

The fluffy sentence successfully ignited Kerry's anger again. Seeing him roaring wildly and smashing his meaningless and bloody fists on the cell door, Carlos suddenly felt that he was in a good mood.

They wanted to kill their Highness, but they failed. As long as they realized that Lichter was still alive, Carlos would feel better, and Kerry could make him realize the reality again and again. This prisoner was quite able to entertain himself.

"You're going to hell!"

"I don't mind tearing up your master again in front of you in hell." Carlos's blue eyes seemed to be stained with ink at the moment, and there was no color of the clear sky under the dim light, like the night that was about to fall, The blue is deep and terrifying.

"Don't forget that you want to kill my Highness, hahaha, but it's a pity that Ivy died, what can you do here like a mad dog? Believe me, you have no chance to avenge your master personally, Maybe your death sentence will be before me."

In the same prison, Carlos can even laugh, but Kerry can't laugh, because he knows that Carlos is right, no matter how sad or angry he is, Ivy can't bring him back to life, and he can't even give Ivy his own hands. revenge.

"Do you think you are an excellent knight?" Carlos still couldn't contain his emotions when he remembered what he saw after he broke into the church that day. "Your master is stupid, and you are also stupid. This is a dead end. Do you really think that you can hide the world without anyone knowing it? Brain is a good thing, but unfortunately neither of you has it. Your arrangement is not perfect at all, full of loopholes , You dare to do it like this. I am tired of working, no wonder others."

A sob came from Kerry's throat: "As long as it is His Highness' wish, as long as it is his wish..."

Although he wanted to scold him for being foolish and loyal, Carlos didn't understand this feeling. As long as it was His Highness's wish, he would want to fulfill it for him even if he risked his life—they were no different in this regard.

Carlos is really tired. In fact, the prison environment can't affect him at all, but the scene of Lichter's blood stained three days ago stimulated him too much. Now thinking about it, his hands can't help shaking.Can't sleep, and mentally tired, it's really tormenting, it seems that the heart is the least deceptive, and he can't deny that Licht is really important to him, even if he deliberately keeps a distance, Even pretending to be a play can't cover up the imprint that guy has left in the depths of his soul.

No matter how you avoid it, he is an inseparable part of you, otherwise why would it hurt so much?

There is nothing to do in the prison, and for those who are not in a good state of mind, it is easy to fall asleep with their eyes closed. Carlos did not know how many dreams he had in his daze, and he even couldn't distinguish reality from dreams.It seems that someone has been here before, and the malicious eyes that have been locked on him in the opposite cage are gone, but he is too lazy to open his eyes to take a closer look, so be it, be it... until the time of judgment comes...

"...S..."

"Carlos!"

A voice like thunder split Carlos' chaotic consciousness. He opened his eyes suddenly, and there was still a boring cage in front of him. The opposite side of the cage was empty. Kerry was taken away?Carlos rubbed his eyebrows, confirmed that this was reality, and woke up himself.Was the voice just now dreaming?There was no one outside the cage, but I heard Lichter's voice calling me... Human?etc!

Carlos suddenly opened his eyes wide, and there was a shadow on the ground outside. Judging from the light, that person should be standing by the door where he could not see it. Carlos clenched his palms and asked tentatively, "Your Highness?"

After a long time, so long that Carlos thought he was hallucinating, the shadow moved and seemed to want to lean closer, but finally moved back to the original place, Carlos heard a familiar voice——

"Ah."

"Your Highness..." Carlos hurriedly got up, and even staggered a bit because of numbness in his legs. He came to the door and said to the invisible man, "Your Highness."

"Call me Richter."

Carlos paused, "Lichter."

Only Lichter would say such a thing.It's a pity that I can't see his face, but it's good, so I can barely speak calmly.

"Are you all right?"

"It's all right."

In fact, although there is treatment in the medical warehouse, Lichter will feel tired after standing for a long time now, the wound has not fully recovered, and the loss caused by the lost blood to the body needs to be replenished slowly. Let Carlos see it.

Now what to say, farewell words?I really can't say it, but if I don't say it now, I won't be able to hear it when I go to the execution ground. Carlos stabilized his voice and tried his best to keep it steady, "Your Highness, from now on—"

"To shut up!"

Lichter interrupted him almost in exasperation.

Carlos was stunned, and said helplessly, "At least let me say a few words, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Licht stretched out his arm and punched the door, "You don't even listen to me?"

"...don't dare."

"Why don't you dare? You dare to kill the prince, don't you know how much trouble you have because of your surname, Behrman? Now you dare to really kill the royal family of Zhuxing. You are afraid that you will not have enough dirty water on your body! You can stop him, you can shoot him on the hands and legs, why did you kill him, or you kill him!"

Carlos watched Lichter's fist on the door in silence, his arms were trembling, and the clothes and gloves wrapped his limbs. He always felt that his arms looked thinner, which of course might be an illusion.

Carlos put his hand on the door—where Lichter's fist rested.Across the cold prison door, they couldn't feel anything. Their hands were so close, but they couldn't touch them.

Carlos said softly, "I'm sorry."

Licht's yelling stopped.

Because he couldn't see Carlos's face, he could vent his anger, question him, and leak his emotions that were about to collapse. No, he knew more about what it was than being angry, very clear.

"You are always like this, what can I do with you, what should I do with you, knight, Carlos."

It was the first time for Carlos to hear Lichter's voice. His heart was tightly clenched, and he couldn't say goodbye. The words rolling in his mind were undoubtedly cruel to Lichter and him at the moment. torment.

"Don't talk, I beg you, don't talk." Lichter loosened his fists into palms, and slid his palms against the door, "Let me stay like this for a while."

Carlos nodded subconsciously. He remembered that Lichter couldn't see, so he hooked the corner of his mouth helplessly, and slid his hand down, chasing Lichter's hand and sticking it together, as if such a move would reassure the two of them. .

Lichter was standing by the door. He squinted and saw the palms following him. Carlos's clothes were not changed, and his hands were still stained with blood. Lichter watched for a while, and then moved his fingers. , couldn't touch anything except the hard door panel, he suddenly withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and grabbed it with the other hand.

Carlos stared at the empty space for a moment, but did not withdraw his hand.

"I will go and intercede with His Majesty," Lichter said to the two of them, clutching his wrist tightly, "this will definitely not be the last time we meet."

You obviously didn't see me, you avoided me.Pleading... Everyone knows that there is little hope, but Carlos still said, "Okay, I will wait for you."

Lichter turned to leave, and as soon as he reached the door, tears came down.

The door opened, and Lichter still had that indifferent face. Owen stepped forward to support him slightly, pretending not to see the red corners of Lichter's eyes, and let him wrap himself in the shell.

"You've been in there for too long, which is not good for your recovery. If you don't come out again, I have to go in and arrest someone."

Licht gently broke away from his arm, and stopped by himself, "I'm going to meet His Majesty."

Owen opened his mouth, "You know..."

Of course, the scandal of the prince’s infighting cannot be spread. The real cause of Ivy’s death has long been firmly sealed. Some of the soldiers who saw the truth that day have probably been brutally sealed forever—this is the dark side of the empire.The rest, such as Owen, can only bury the truth in their hearts forever, but no one wants to seek death.

The cause of Ivy's death was that he died at the hands of the Star Thief, and he could gain a good reputation after death. The reason for Carlos' imprisonment was that the protection was not good. People speculated how serious His Royal Highness Licht's injury was, but the Empire did not disclose it. information.Kerry, who was executed in secret, claimed that he was killed by the star thief together with Ivy, in order to cover up the truth that Ivy wanted to kill Licht.

"There is still a chance." Licht murmured.

Anyway, Owen couldn't think of any other chances. Even if the truth was buried to the outside world, the felony of killing the royal family, the ordinary death penalty is considered light, how could there be a turning point.

Owen persuaded: "It is very irrational for you to contradict His Majesty at this time."

"His life is mine." Lichter said to him, "If I want to get it, I must let him stay!"

Emperor Charles knew that Lichter would definitely come, so he waved everyone away. Before Queen Ley left, she looked at Lichter who was kneeling in the middle, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, leaving space for the father and son.

It was the emperor who spoke first: "You are here for Carlos Berman."

Affirmative.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Licht took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, the laws of our country apply to any citizen of our country, according to the three articles of the Imperial Security Law No.90..."

"Lichter," the emperor interrupted him lightly, "in the palace, I am the law."

Can't refute.The man in front of him sat on a high seat, sitting at the top of power, overlooking everyone, including him, even though the emperor's blood was in his body, they were not equal, never were.

Lichter felt himself trembling slightly, and he knelt down on one knee, realizing that it was meaningless to talk about the law in front of the emperor. "Your Majesty," he prepared more than one set of rhetoric, "Brother Ivy was only one step away from killing me. If Carlos hadn't arrived, I would definitely miss you. If I really died, Brother Ivy would kill me." Was it executed?"

"Yes," the emperor told him, "you have to trust my justice, my child."

"Then if Carlos didn't arrive, Ivy and I would die; if Carlos arrived, I survived. Since Ivy could not escape the fate of death anyway, why don't you forgive me for saving me? Ross, I live because of him, and Ivy would die without him."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "You are right. But the people of the royal family can only be decided by me, and no one else, anyone." The hammering was bound to crush him, but Licht stubbornly raised his head, his hands could no longer control or conceal the trembling, but his voice was loud, and he would never let it go.

"But he saved me," he said with hope and despair in his voice, panting heavily, as if he would be too excited to kneel in the next second. "He saved me, Your Majesty!"

The emperor looked at his son, a beautiful son, a smart son, a capable son, the son of him and Anna, he had the shadows of himself and Anna, at this moment the prince was like a wounded little beast, the pain could not break him , stubborn as a swan, proudly holding her neck high, beautiful and desperate, begging him with the last dignity to let his knight go.

"You want to save him very much," said the emperor.

Lichter: "Yes."

"Then what can you give? You shouldn't need me to teach you about giving and rewarding."

The emperor's voice sounded like thunder in the hall, hitting Licht's heart. He felt pain in his ears, and a black shadow floated in front of his eyes. He knew, he knew that he had to pay for something in return, and he had prepared corresponding chips before coming. But he still had a little bit of extravagant hope, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor would not ask for it, but extravagant hope was finally just extravagant hope, and he shouldn't have such an idea from the beginning.

But despite this, despite this... Lichter closed his eyes tiredly, it was the pillar that he had supported himself for more than ten years after his mother passed away.

Lichter put down the other knee, knelt down on both knees and slowly bent down, and put his forehead on the floor. His voice trembled even more, but the emperor felt that he had heard Lichter come out tonight. The clearest and firmest words.

"I am willing to use my status as heir and all my powers to seek the acquittal of Carlos Berman."

Now it was the emperor's turn to be surprised. He opened his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't believe it, but Lichter did say it, and he heard it clearly. It was not a fantasy or a lie.

"Head up Lichter."

Licht raised his head according to his words, and the emperor noticed that the brilliance on his face was gone, the purple irises had lost their color, and were gradually dimming and withering. Something with the soul power of bones, if it is abandoned, it will inevitably suffer the damage of tearing the soul.

"Do you know what you gave up?"

"I know." Lichter didn't want to repeat it again. He hugged his arm, shaking his whole body, and buried his face subconsciously. He knew that he must not look good now, he was extremely embarrassed, and he didn't want to let such an ugly face count. Seen by His Majesty the Emperor.

"You have sacrificed your soul in the pursuit of power, how will you survive without power?"

Charlie knew what Lichter was like because he was his child.After Anna's death, the child's ambition and desire for power was not only an obsession, it had become a flame in his life, and now he wanted to extinguish the flame that had been burning for more than ten years with his own hands.

Will die, not an exaggeration, he will not survive.

Being the straw that broke the camel's back, Lichter finally broke down.

He wanted to hide, hide, and deceive himself, but he had nowhere to escape from the emperor who had watched him grow up. "I don't know," he hissed loudly, his voice was hoarse, he grabbed his hair and pressed his eyes tightly, he straightened his body up forcefully, outlined a desperate arc, tears flowed crazily, and his voice could not be roared. "I don't know, Your Majesty! Father! I have been paranoid and crazy for more than ten years. Without it, I can't even imagine what I would become. I dare not even imagine!"

"But, but!" Licht grabbed his hair tightly, bent his back and panted exaggeratedly, like a drowning person who would lose all air in a second. "But ah..." He said in the same hoarse but no longer high-pitched voice, grabbed his chest with one hand, and grabbed the expensive fabric into a ball, wrinkled, like the heart under the fabric, caught blood dripping.

"But, I can imagine what it would be like to lose him." Licht choked up, "I don't know what it will be like if I lose power; I know I will die here if I lose him." Licht clenched his chest even harder. , "Here will definitely die!"

It took a long time after Lichter finished speaking, only his heavy panting and crying could be heard in the empty hall. The crying sound was extremely ugly, at least Lichter thought so, he had never heard such an ugly voice, and it was issued by myself.The crying became sobbing, and finally sank down. Lichter began to be in a trance. He felt that his body was empty, and he forgot whether he was standing or kneeling. His five sense organs and limbs were losing feeling, and his consciousness was about to be withdrawn.

Therefore, he also failed to see a trace of looseness on the emperor's cold and stiff face for many years, like the tip of an iceberg melting, and a gentle stream of water flowed out.

"It really is the child of me and Anna..." In a trance, a sigh of His Majesty the Emperor came from far away but close at hand...

The author has something to say:

I finally wrote this scene, I wanted to write it for a long time! !So Lichter is sincere, you can't make it!And you have to believe that I am a sugar sprinkler, all the flavorings are for sugar sprinkles!
