Road to Glory [Interstellar]

Royce didn't know what Christine was thinking.Even if he knew, he would not delve into it, at most he would feel that the future queen would sometimes want to protect someone.

Royce, who thought he could return to normal life, returned to training.However, when his life returned to the original track, he found that he no longer had a "peaceful and unchanging" daily life.

The first thing Royce notices is that there are more "strange" eyes staring at him.When he was doing extra training on his personal plan, the other young officers at his level didn't just glance away and walk away as they used to, but came up and interrupted him with questions about the training plan—many of which were literally Stupid worthless.

If you go to borrow the laboratory of the military academy, the situation will become even more serious: the juniors—male and female—rush to you in a menacing, almost aggressive posture, almost putting yourself on the defensive. Hold up a notebook or something at the moment of the gesture and ask yourself to sign your name.

How stupid!And waste of time and life!

"Why can't you use this time to do some experiments. In just 5 minutes, you can complete a round of regression analysis by pure hand calculation." Royce once said such words in response, trying to give younger generations Guidance; however, he was elbowed and taught by Irene, and then he just silently completed the other party's request.

Regarding what happened to Royce, Irene commented in this way: "Your logical mind should be able to predict it? Since you have done something beyond ordinary people's ability, and you were pushed to the front by a national idol, Then, at least for a while now, you're going to have to live with uncomfortably intense stares."

For this pertinent evaluation, Royce just nodded approvingly; he really wanted to praise his sister's flash of intelligence, but it was a pity that he was already overwhelmed by the troublesome daily life and personal plans.

Royce knew that because of himself, many things would not develop according to the trajectory of the previous life.But at the same time, he also believed that His Majesty the King, who was in serious health condition, would die a year later like in his previous life, and Christine would ascend to the throne with the support of his father and the overwhelming majority of the people.

This was originally a normal change of power, and it has nothing to do with other countries.However, the young queen couldn't tolerate any flaws in her eyes, and made a radical decision shortly after she came to the throne, which gave the Principality of Ryan an excellent excuse to attack—although Royce still doesn't understand why other countries can attack in this country. In domestic affairs, there is a sense of presence.

In fact, not long after Christine ascended the throne, the Principality of Ryan sent envoys to sign a peace treaty, which temporarily quelled the war between the two countries that had lasted for many years and ignited in the universe from time to time.However, the so-called treaty was just a dead letter, and Gustav, who became an assistant officer, completely treated it as if it didn't exist.

The alarm sound from inside the mech made Royce's eardrums vibrate, and it also brought him back to the real world, who had been immersed in the memories of the past two months.Now is the moment when he has to act immediately: the program in the loop calculation is running continuously because he has set the wrong initial value, almost causing the operating system to be paralyzed.

"I just hope that this time he won't be able to marry the princess, and won't be able to become an assistant officer so smoothly." Royce said to himself, flicking his fingers on the keyboard, quickly inputting the limit command, and finally stopping the program caught in the loop calculation down.

Royce nodded in satisfaction, not only because of the No. [-] machine, which was incompatible with the third planet but in harmony with himself, but also because of his surprisingly flexible right hand.Although he has no doubt that implanting a large number of foreign organisms in the body will cause terrible side effects in the future, but right now, he thinks that choosing the artificial arm is relatively the best choice.

After finishing the system debugging of the mecha, Royce thought that today's coordination training could come to an end: all the faults have been eliminated, and he is quite familiar with this mecha as an enemy, but to a certain extent, it is very strange A "tacit understanding" was established.Opening the cockpit, Royce jumped out briskly with a gesture of joy.

Royce planned to go back and take a shower and rest early to buffer his overworked brain these days.However, when the heavy door between the mechs opened to both sides and the people behind the metal door came into view, Royce realized that his rest plan might be stranded.

"You really work hard." The sarcasm spoken in an extremely elegant voice was very familiar to Royce.

As a weapon, words are almost invincible, because the sharp blade hidden in words cannot be resisted by ordinary weapons.And the opponent is best at this.

Royce knows how powerful the tongue is in front of him, and he has been like this since his previous life.The opponent can direct the conversation to the contradiction, stab his enemy, incite his followers and even the hesitant onlookers.

"Why are you here?" Before the brain reacted, Royce had already assumed a defensive posture, and he held the standard combat dagger that was originally attached to his waist and equipped with the army.

"I came here as an envoy of the Principality of Ryan to discuss with the ruler of your country. The reason why I appeared here... is because I want to see you. The queen of your country gave me this power." In Gustav's picture An elegant and decent smile appeared on the inherently handsome face.After explaining, he suddenly took two steps forward and came near Royce.

"Put the knife away, Royce. To whom are you showing this posture of facing an enemy?" Gustav lowered his voice at this moment, revealing his true colors of sarcasm, "Here It's not just the two of us."

Envoy?In the previous life, this happened after the death of His Majesty the King and before Gustav usurped power.But looking at the other party's attire at the moment, his calm and unhurried attitude, and the sergeants following behind who can only be called by His Majesty the King, it seems that what the other party said is actually happening.

Did the behavior of such a small person as myself lead to such a big deviation?

However, logically speaking, this is not impossible.The so-called butterfly effect can be said to be reflected to the extreme in himself and the person in front of him.

Feeling so emotional, Royce warned himself to think more about it in the future, put away his weapon, and bowed to Gustav. "Sorry for the offense just now. But I didn't expect you to come here to see me."

Royce has already put on a business-like indifferent attitude, which does not make Gustav happy; but as he himself said, it is not just the two of them here, so he must maintain his demeanor, let alone lose himself. majesty.With this in mind, Gustav also raised his airs until he and Royce were able to be alone in a nearby living room.

"Now we can chat freely." Gustav finally let go of his dominator-like majesty.

"Unless you come to Xingshi to inquire about crimes, we have nothing to talk about."

"Oh? It's true. I have the position of calling the teacher to blame. Because of you, I lost a person who is still easy to use. For a long time, I have been very troubled by this." Said words that symbolized worry , but there was no trace of sadness on Gustav's face.

Thinking of Carmen, a trace of haze flitted across Royce's calm face. "You killed her yourself. At least, you ordered it yourself."

Gustav froze for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Yes, you are right! But, you taught her to make mistakes, otherwise nothing would have happened. You feel sympathy for her now Is it? So in turn accuse me of being too cruel and ruthless to my subordinates?"

Royce lowered his eyes. "So, what are you going to do when you come to see me now? Kill me to avenge her?"

"Of course not." Gustav smiled, "It's the same as what I told you in prison. I still intend to invite you to come to my side, as long as you are willing."

Royce shook his head. "I said it a long time ago, and I have no intention."

Gustav sighed, stared at Royce quite seriously, and said slowly: "You know, Royce? As a 'human', you are born for yourself. If you even think about yourself If you can’t do it, you’re not as good as a dog.”

Although it didn't show on his face, Royce felt quite unhappy at the moment: he hated people who talked in circles the most-the other party had been doing such things so far.In particular, the person in front of him also added many emotional adjectives into it, making him unable to find the point.

"Please speak frankly." Royce raised his head high, trying to do what Irene said at the beginning - no matter what, he must maintain his momentum.

"Okay. You regained your freedom, repaired your limb disabilities, and returned to the army. For this, you are grateful to your princess, Miss Christine. But you should know that the escape is all due to your own efforts, and Your right hand... I don't believe that such a perfect limb will have no side effects on the human body." Gustav got up and walked slowly.He put his mouth close to Royce's ear: "Yes, you must know that it's just that admiration and obsession with someone weakens your ability to distinguish between pros and cons. I said, Royce, do you still know what is right?" , what is wrong?"

"You don't understand anything at all." Royce replied indifferently: "I haven't been confused by personality cults, and I know that I haven't chosen the wrong person to believe so far."

"Then you are really pitiful! I think you have lived on the third planet for too long, and you have been completely poisoned by the dark thoughts of your king and his heir, so that you can't see the truth clearly." Gustav mocked Laughed.

"Really?" Royce smiled mockingly, "It seems that you think that what I saw with my own eyes is 'false', and what you heard on another distant planet is 'true'. From my point of view, one of the two of us must be mentally retarded, either I am blind and deaf, or you take rumors as a classic."

"We're bickering, Royce," said the other in a cheerful tone, as if relishing the pointless argument that couldn't change each other's minds, "I admit it's funny, but seriously, It's of no use."

But you obviously like to bicker with people.Royce recalled the conversation with the other party in the Ryan Principality Prison, so he judged.

"Now you only need to think about one thing." Gustav suddenly turned around and came to Royce to face him.His cold blue eyes fixed on Royce's face, "Answer me, do you really think that your royal highness will save you? When you are alone and helpless, or even tortured by the aftereffects of battle? When you were suspected by others and became the accusation of thousands of people?"

Royce fell silent.

He already knew the answer.

If there is a choice between "country" and "individual", Christine will choose the former.

Needless to say.
