Mermaid [Interstellar]

The main ship of the "Skeleton Regiment".

Joseph reported to Heinrich with a serious expression: "The other side seems to have found that the prince is no longer in our hands, and they don't seem to want to continue the stalemate with us."

Heinrich pondered for a long time before saying: "Davis...she really doesn't care...it's unlikely, she will face the pressure of Emperor Star in doing so, isn't she afraid of repeating Yunhaixing again? ?”

Joseph didn't answer, watching Heinrich punched the podium with a punch, and he punched a dent in the so-called latest durable and anti-break material.

After panting for a while, Heinrich slowly calmed down: "Since that Marquis Vincent is useless, then don't waste food to feed him."

"Davis is a coward. He will only bow down to the imperial power, but we will not! The worst thing is to die!" Heinrich gritted his teeth and told Joseph, "Tell that person, I don't want to wait any longer."

In a dark and silent room, Vincent slowly opened his eyes and looked around blankly. In fact, it was too dark here, and he couldn't see anything.

The group of star thieves hadn't appeared for a while, and they seemed to have forgotten him.

There is nothing to do, he can't feel the change of time, he doesn't know how long he has been here alone.

Weak all over the body and mentally empty, this state will produce a sense of nausea after a long time.

The door of the room opened quietly, and a bright light came in.

The eyes couldn't adapt to the sudden brightness, Vincent had to blink, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Is this moved to the point of crying?" Joseph's harsh voice sounded.

He directed his men to pull Vincent out: "Let's go, you are free."

liberation?Did the empire send someone to rescue him?

Joseph: "Marquis Vincent? Or the earl? In fact, it doesn't matter. There is nothing after death anyway. Don't you think so?"

What does it mean?

Vincent's eyes widened, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Didn't the empire pay ransom?No, Alice, how dare she? !

Seeing the expression on Vincent's face, he could guess what he was thinking. Joseph snapped his fingers: "That's right! I'm sorry, but we are not doing charity. Since you are worthless, we will work hard It seems unreasonable to use the money you earn to support you, after all, we don’t know each other, do we?”

Shaking his body, Vincent looked at Joseph in disbelief: "We...we didn't know each other! I know you guys want to kidnap the prince, but what does that have to do with me?!"

"Then I have to ask you, who made you appear next to the prince?" Joseph spread his hands helplessly, "If you say that you are not close, why did you admit it before? It really can't be our fault."

Like a needle prick, Vincent has never regretted so much why he knew Philip and went to his birthday party.

A small airship stopped in front of Vincent.

Joseph declared: "You are free—go away."

Vincent looked at him in astonishment, obviously, this was not rescued by the empire.

Don't look at him anymore, Joseph said coldly: "Don't say that I let you go when you go out, just treat me as a kind person and a good deed by accident."

The airship quietly left the main ship of the "Skull Regiment", and flew out of the Davis star field to the Emperor Star without looking back.

……

George gently placed a crinoid flower on Alice's table.

"The 'Skeleton Group' doesn't seem to want to talk to us anymore. The last hostage, Earl Vincent, has also disappeared."

Alice came back to her senses: "Then, there is only one question left, where is Philip?"

"Aren't there two questions?" Erwin interjected, "It's because Vincent's family didn't give you money, so you don't want to talk about it?"

"No." Alice didn't blink, "I don't want to grind with them any longer."

Erwin frowned: "What about over there? You took the money—"

"No business?" Alice raised her eyebrows and looked directly at Erwin, "I don't think His Majesty the Emperor would care about such a person. Besides, I also think that Vincent will be fine, you say—yes Bar?"

Erwin laughed dryly: "It's hard to say, it's still too risky after all."

Alice picked up the sea lily, and said casually: "If something happens, you don't have to bear it, and it has nothing to do with you. Why are you so nervous? Or, did you really make some shady deal with the 'Skeleton Group'? ?”

"How is this possible? Every business partner of mine is carefully selected by me, and I also want to report to the military department." Erwin swallowed, "After all, we have to make sure that no lawbreaker Molecules armed with dangerous weapons, right?"

George on the side bowed his head silently after hearing this, his shoulders kept shaking.

Alice: "...It's really rare to hear you say such righteous words." She glanced at George, "If you say this, you can see who in this room believes it."

There are only three people in this room.

Erwin: "..." In fact, even he himself didn't believe it.

Erwin: "In that case, let's pass the time by changing the subject—why hasn't Cyril arrived yet?"

The other two people in the room didn't answer the phone, obviously not having the desire to talk about new topics.

"Alice, I found that you are really boring." Erwin had nothing to say, hoping that someone would talk to him and pass this boring time.

"Oh." Alice replied calmly, not even wanting to ask why.

"I found that you don't seem to have any entertainment hobbies, except for infrastructure construction—if this is called a hobby." The results of the Yunhaixing reconstruction project are obvious to all. Erwin approached her, and Alice has been playing with this crinoid, kneading The stems and petals are still tender and plump.

The crinoid is the sigil of the Davis family.

It seems that it was changed after Alice became the head of the house.

Alice became the head of the family after the Yunhaixing incident 49 years ago.

As an important symbol of a family, the family crest cannot be changed at will.

But the Davis family in history seems to have changed many times, and Erwin has heard of it. Their reasons every time are weird and the same-to commemorate my lover.

49 years ago, the old Duke died in Yunhaixing, and Alice succeeded to the throne.

That year, Alice asked him for help in Yunhaixing, which was heavily blocked by the army, and begged him to leave Yunhaixing with her friends.

Is there any necessary connection among them?

It stands to reason that the mermaid of Yunhaixing was more powerful than the Davis family at that time. People only knew that there was Yunhaixing in the Davis star field, but they did not know that there was a Davis family.The old duke should also be a little dissatisfied with Yun Haixing.

Even if he thinks that the army hastily disregarded that the Davis star field is the star field master and broke in to clean up the clouds and sea stars, the old duke wouldn't be so desperate to stop it—he was dead desperately.

It is said that the old duke scolded his father angrily at that time, telling him to stop immediately and not to touch Yun Haixing in the slightest.

— an inch.

This represents mermaids including cloud starfish.

After the Yunhaixing incident, the relationship between him and Alice, who were only casual acquaintances, quickly became closer.

After the prince and Cyril came into contact with government affairs one after another, they had many disputes and disagreements. As Cyril's good friend, he introduced Alice to him, and soon, the relationship between the three of them became closer.

Regarding this relationship, he had also been puzzled before. It was not a secret that his father and the old duke had a quarrel in Yunhaixing. What's more, his father was the knife in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.

Lovely Alice didn't seem to care.

His father knew that he had contact with the star thieves in the Davis star field. These transactions cannot be reported, and his father also helped him cover them up.

Convoluted and intricate, this is their network of relationships. Everyone has secrets, and they want to cover them up desperately, and then they want to dig out other people's secrets, for fear of others' sudden betrayal.

"The second prince is here." George brought Cyril in, interrupting Erwin's meditation.

"Syril, you've come!" Erwin stood up and gave Cyril a big hug.

Alice nodded and greeted briefly.

Cyril: "You also know what I am here for this time, I suspect - my father already knows about our alliance."

Erwin was surprised: "Impossible."

Alice didn't want to give a look: "It's just a suspicion. Is there any evidence? It's not a day or two that the old emperor likes to be suspicious."

Cyril didn't have any special reaction to Alice's disrespectful attitude, and continued: "Alice, let me ask you, did you control 'Grey Pigeon'?"

"Am I crazy?" Alice raised her eyelids, "Everyone knows what a Star Thief is. I've lost my mind to raise such a mad dog that will bite me back at any time. Look at the 'Skeleton Group', something happened to the prince What good is it for me? My political life is still long, and I am tired of dealing with a suspicious emperor."

"The fact is that this mad dog really bit you now." Cyril said with a livid face, "The 'Skull Squad' released Vincent back, and after Vincent returned to Emperor Star, he spread the word about kidnapping you. It’s the mastermind behind the scenes, because they feel that the Yunhaixing incident has caused the Davis family to lose face, and this time it will also make the royal family lose face once!”

Alice: "What a joke! I haven't met him a few times!"

Cyril: "Having not met a few times is not the reason why he won't frame you."

The corners of Erwin's eyes twitched, and he asked Alice, "Is it because you took money and didn't do anything to offend others?"

Alice slapped the table and said coldly: "Get out! Why don't you say that you hooked up with the 'Skeleton Group' and intensify the conflict and let them tie Philip?!"

As soon as these words came out, the air in the whole room froze.

George stood by the door and closed the door early in the morning to prevent anyone from entering or leaving.
