Mermaid [Interstellar]

"Da da da——" only the sound of light footsteps gradually became clear in the empty corridor. Heinrich and Joseph said goodbye and separated, and walked into their own room alone.

No one's time.

Without turning on the light, he found a chair and sat down, and the silent darkness engulfed him.

"Kill him to get revenge." He murmured in the dark.

He stood up excitedly and kept pacing in the room, bumping into a lot of furniture, but he didn't care and continued to walk.

"Honey—" he growled, clenching his hands into fists, "the children—"

Tired from walking, Heinrich lay on the table, gasping for breath: "Soon, those who should go to hell will go to accompany you."

He laughed again, and the insane, creepy laughter filled the room.

……

Heinrich, a human being, was born in Yunhaixing. He once had a wife and three sons.

Alice scratched the word "Zeng" with her finger: "Yunhaixing..." She sighed lowly, while George on the side bowed his head and remained silent.

Erwin grabbed the information, turned a few pages, and his expression changed suddenly: "This 'skeleton group' is all about—" He glanced at Cyril.

Anything related to Yunhaixing is an enmity with the royal family.

Get into trouble.

Lifting his head and closing his eyes weakly, Cyril took the responsibility onto himself: "It's my fault, I should have made all the preparations in advance—no, it would be fine if I didn't think about it."

"Don't, don't, it's my fault, I didn't investigate clearly." Erwin said anxiously.

"Is it useful to say this now?" Alice glanced at the two of them, then looked down at the information again, "I didn't expect that someone escaped."

The interstellar pirate "Skeleton Group" was established 49 years ago, that is, in the year of the Yunhaixing Incident. At the beginning, it only robbed small wealthy businessmen in some star fields. The other star robbers who like to backtrack on their promises are really much better. Most wealthy businessmen are timid and afraid of retaliation, and they will be safe if they give the money, so they will not pursue it anymore.Besides, even if you call the police, there is no way.

Even, with the slow development of the "Skeleton Squad", some wealthy businessmen specially hired them for safety and to avoid robbery by other star thieves.

Cyril said firmly: "The members of the 'Skeleton Squad' are all from the Cloud Sea Star, and their family and friends are all mermaids. They have long hated the royal family."

Alice clicked on Heinrich's information: "My wife and children died at the hands of others, and I escaped after a narrow escape. If you say that you can let go of your hatred and start over, do you believe it?"

In order to prevent Yunhai Star from becoming a death star, Marshal Adolf ordered that all human beings who have nothing to do with mermaids can leave Yunhai Star.

With a wry smile, Erwin said, "Is this considered 'good intentions go unrewarded'?"

"Good intentions?" Alice snorted coldly, "Isn't this called retribution?"

Erwin argued: "Make it clear, the emperor's order at the time was that no one should be let go. If my father hadn't been kind, Yunhaixing would have lost everything. Yunhaixing has everything. If there were no people, you would Now they will only treat Yunhaixing as non-existent, what kind of 'Yunhaixing reconstruction project' will they do?!"

"Yes," Alice replied, "Whether there are people or not, I will rebuild Yunhaixing, and figure it out—if you didn't kill Yunhaixing, now I need to spend a lot of money to do this?"

Erwin: "The mermaid Yunhaixing is very powerful. Back then, your Davis family had to avoid it. It would be good to cut down the arrogance of the Yunhaixing mermaid!"

"Erwin!" Cyril yelled, stopping Erwin from continuing.

Erwin has said this before, even if the mermaid of Yunhai Star is at fault, the emperor should not act like this, not to mention, Yunhai Star has never been an autonomous planet, but is under the jurisdiction of the Davis family and is located in the Davis star field!

The emperor bypassed the Davis family and directly sent troops to attack Yun Haixing. Even if the old duke came forward to stop him, he would not be moved, and even killed him...

Cyril turned his head away, not daring to look into Alice's eyes: "I'm sorry, it was indeed his fault."

He means the emperor.

The Yunhai Star Mermaid King is ambitious, but carefully avoids the law. From the perspective of the law of the empire, he has done nothing wrong—this is why the old duke has been slow to act. As the jurisdiction of the Davis Starfield Those who make a move must have a reason and evidence. Only in this way can other people with evil intentions be deterred.

The emperor made a strong move, disregarding the authority of the imperial law and the Davis family's face, and blatantly strangled the Yunhai star mermaid. No matter from which point of view, he couldn't stand up.

Just because he is the emperor, wearing a crown on his head, holding a scepter in his hand, sitting on the throne, saying: "I am the law."

No one punished him.

It is normal for the Davis family to be dissatisfied. Since Yunhaixing is located in Davis' star field, they can only deal with the Yunhaixing mermaid!

Erwin closed his mouth and said no more.

Alice glanced at him coldly, and said with a sneer: "Everyone, now we understand that the conflict between the 'Skull Squad' and the royal family is irreconcilable, that is to say—"

Philip, as His Royal Highness the crown prince of the empire, the first heir to the throne, and the most admired son of the old emperor who has repeatedly expressed his admiration, is in danger.

"We are about to face His Majesty's monstrous wrath." Alice said coldly, "Everyone, prepare as soon as possible."

Erwin said slowly: "It's not that fast... It's not time for the fish to die."

"The fish is dead and the net is broken?" Alice glanced at him contemptuously. "Can you say something nice?"

"..." Erwin stuck for a moment, and tentatively said, "So it's not a critical moment yet?"

Alice: "..."

Xi Ruier rubbed the center of his brows: "Forget it, don't talk anymore."

Erwin: "..."

Erwin was very wronged, he just wanted to express his opinion truthfully.

Satisfied with Erwin's silence, Cyril said: "Let's take a look, I don't want to be so soon..." He paused, "Anyway, we are father and son."

"Father and son?" Alice couldn't help laughing, "Forgive me, I didn't see that he regarded you as a son, even Philip - our emperor said that this is his favorite son - —I didn’t see how much he liked it either.”

Cyril's throat was full of bitterness, and he said softly, "Maybe this is the royal family."

No affection.

Even he himself doesn't have much affection for his elder brother.

All he loves is power.

This is the consensus of everyone here. In fact, anyone who has been in contact with the emperor for a long time will have such an understanding.

The emperor's extreme love for power and frenzied maintenance have reached the point of becoming obsessed.

So he doesn't allow it, Yunhaixing Mermaid's powerful network, parliament's restrictions on imperial power, and other foreign enemies' provocations...

He wiped out the mermaids of Yunhaixing, and made the parliament his own voice. He kept sending troops out to fight and expand the territory of the empire...

Power is his lover, his child, the only one in his life.

The emperor couldn't put it down, and when he picked it up, he didn't allow others to touch it.

It has to be said that he has to bear a lot of responsibility for the royal family to become what it is now.

Cyril knew that he and Philip were half-brothers, the first queen was killed by him because of too much interference with the emperor, and the second, it should be said, was not the second at all— —None of them are married.

His mother accidentally learned the cause of the queen's death, saw the true face of the emperor, woke up from blind and fanatical love, and ran away overnight, not even wanting her own child.

Oh, look, he is such a person, this is his father, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire.

Although he was brought up by the emperor, and the emperor admitted his identity, the emperor still didn't like him because of his mother.

—even though he tried very hard to pretend to be a loving and good father.

But disgust is disgust, and the indifference in his eyes cannot be deceived.

And Philip is just better than Cyril.

As the emperor's first child, he really enjoyed a period of tender affection from his father, and all this ended with the death of the empress.

What a man who loves power the emperor is!

The older they get, the more difficult it is to let go. As the two princes grow older, they can also participate in political affairs, and even learn to manage a planet to prepare for future governance.

At the same time, since the prince has the power of inspection, the star field master has the right to supervise all departments of the empire, but as their thinking matures, they will also have their own plans and train their own team—— through inspections Right to discover newcomers with ability and potential.

But the emperor relied on his own power to suppress their growth.

Philip has no friends so far, and even Vincent, who is known as his "closest friend", is not a person who can talk to each other, and he can only chat a few words.

Cyril laughed mockingly, he could see all of this clearly.

The emperor has always said that Philip is the son he admires the most, but he restricts Philip's development, and at the same time treats Cyril coldly, allowing Cyril to be engaged to Alice and make friends with Erwin.

If this is not to deliberately lead the two sons to fight...

Cyril shook his head. Although he saw through this situation, he still couldn't help stepping into it.

The art of the emperor, the heart of the emperor is unpredictable...

The lure of power is so great that one can't help but indulge in it.
