Same light

Fortunately, Xiu doesn't need to face his heart for the time being, because the situation doesn't allow him to have such free time.

The next day, the crown prince's spacecraft arrived at the civilian starship port of the main planet with a high profile.

The news spread throughout the entire empire for some reason a day ago, the main planet was empty of people, and the ship port was completely surrounded.At such a moment of turmoil, confusion, fear and disappointment, at the moment when the Holy White Tower fell and the Holy Golden Palace lost the hearts of the people, the return of the crown prince attracted everyone's attention, and everyone wanted to see their spirit with their own eyes. Pillar, last hope.

Such a grand occasion was never seen when the emperor traveled. Alfred's return trip was so high-profile that some people couldn't find a chance to do it.

"There were so many people lining the road to greet them that the Crown Prince's special car took only an hour to drive from Starship Port, but it took a full six hours to drive into the Royal Palace Complex..."

Listening to the report, the emperor twitched unnaturally a few times, and said coldly, "That's why he asked me to wait for him all afternoon with all the princes and a few grand dukes?"

The waiter who reported did not dare to answer, and the princes and grand dukes sitting on both sides of the hall were also silent.

"It's just the crown prince, he already has such a big shelf." The emperor said while sitting on a high seat.

After he said this, there was still no one in the hall to respond to him. The emperor's face darkened, and the hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing was suppressed.

At this moment, the double doors slammed open, shattering the rigidity and dullness of the room.

A tall figure strode in from the door and walked straight to the Sun Throne at the end of the hall.

He has blond hair, golden eyes, and wears a luxurious crown prince's dress—it's just a dress. Under the luxurious dress, he is an ordinary legionnaire's uniform.

In the main hall of the Holy Golden Palace, in front of the Sun Throne representing the stars, he is so unseemly and so dazzling.

All eyes were on him, the emperor was no exception. When his golden pupils were shining and he strode straight towards him, for a moment, the emperor felt panic from the bottom of his heart, thinking that the crown prince was a To tear him off the throne in front of all the princes and grand dukes, and sit on it himself.

This scene did not happen, Alfred finally stopped under the throne, the two pairs of golden pupils faced each other for a few seconds, he stroked his chest perfunctorily, and said, "Your Majesty."

"Prince." The emperor said, annoyed by his absurd fantasy just now, and also offended by the scene where Alfred used his genetic ability to confront him, "Do you know how late I was?"

"The people are very enthusiastic, but the traffic situation is a bit poor."

"Knowing that you are late, you still returned to the Dawn Palace before coming here. Did you do it on purpose?"

"Your Majesty," Alfred said with a look of confusion, "I can't just come to the Holy Golden Palace to narrate in military uniform, right? How inappropriate is that? I went back to the Dawn Palace to change."

"Do you call your current attire decent?!"

"You said this." Alfred casually tugged on the crown prince's dress, "This is left by the former prince. The size is wrong, so I can't wear it. I have been the crown prince for a while, but I have been running around and have no time to take care of these things, please forgive me."

Since he became the crown prince, he has indeed been leading the army all the time, but the emperor has been staying in the Holy Golden Palace, and he has not asked for a suit to be made for the prince.

Someone glanced at the emperor, and an undercurrent surged in the hall.

How could the emperor fail to hear the implication, he squinted his eyes and was about to fight back, when Alfred said again: "Your Majesty, I have something more important to report to you than my etiquette."

"In the Holy Golden Palace, it's not your turn to decide the topic of discussion."

The emperor didn't want him to take the initiative to speak, but was unexpectedly interrupted just after he said such a sentence.

Marshal Stone said: "Your Majesty, I also think that the military situation is more important than the clothes of the crown prince."

Undoubtedly, a stone was thrown on the surface of the water. Originally, it was the turbulent tide underneath, but now the water splashed in all directions, and the turmoil had been brought to the surface.

Some of the princes and dukes on both sides seemed to have never heard of it, some glanced back and forth among the few people in the hall, and some exchanged winks. Before the emperor could speak, the prince who had been interrogated most frequently said suddenly: " Your Majesty, why don't we listen to the military situation first. You can teach the prince etiquette in private."

There was a sound in the emperor's mind, and he smelled an unusual breath.

Alfred deliberately created conflicts and gave these people the opportunity to openly surrender, and the Grand Marshal and his cousin seized the opportunity—or should the Grand Marshal and the prince belong to Alfred's faction? , is this negotiated?Or is it that some of these two people are temporarily surrendering, and some are acting...

The emperor had a splitting headache, no matter what, he knew that Alfred came to the palace today prepared and came to make trouble.

Today, I am afraid it is much more dangerous than he thought.

The emperor said stiffly: "Since that's the case, why don't you tell me, what's the urgent military situation?"

"It's not very urgent, but it's really important." Alfred said, "The civilization that claims to be the 'Federation' is about to make formal contact with us."

It is impossible to cause an uproar in an occasion like the Holy Golden Palace's meeting hall, but when this sentence came out, it still aroused a burst of whispering - it stands to reason that this is also very unruly, in a place full of clan relatives and powerful dukes Even more rare occasions, we can see the impact of this news.

The emperor didn't care about scolding others, and asked Alfred: "What does it mean to be formal?"

"They are coming. They are not wandering star robbers, but a regular army representing the will of their leaders."

"Impossible!" The emperor subconsciously denied, "Where did you get the information? I haven't received any relevant information—"

"I thought I was the one who went deep into the Federation spaceship." Alfred said, "But do you believe more in the information you get when you sit in the Holy Golden Palace?"

"You should be the one who provided me with the information!" The emperor said angrily, "You knew about it the day the spaceship crashed?! Why did you hide such an urgent military situation for so long without reporting it?"

"Given the distance between our two civilizations and their departure time I have learned, this is not an urgent military situation." Alfred said calmly, "What's more, I have already mobilized the Light Corps to detect The device will be extended to the outside of the border to ensure that it can be detected in advance, leaving us with sufficient reaction time."

The emperor looked dangerously at Marshal Stone.

"Grand Marshal, why am I not aware of such a big move by the Legion?"

Marshal Stone said simply: "The prince is regent, and I will obey the prince's orders."

The emperor froze for a moment, as if he didn't hear clearly, he looked around and saw the expressions of those princes and dukes, and then realized that he had heard correctly.

"Inverted!" He stood up furiously, pointed at Marshal Stone and said, "When did the prince become regent?! Am I dead?"

"Your Majesty, don't get excited. If you die, I will not be regent, but enthroned." Alfred said unhurriedly, and turned to face the other people sitting in His Highness, regardless of the emperor's face, " Dear relatives and dukes, since the establishment of the empire, the Holy Golden Palace, the Holy White Tower and the Light and Shadow Legion are like the most stable triangle supporting the empire. If the high priest of the Holy White Tower and the Grand Marshal of the Light and Shadow Legion think that the Holy Gold The palace should be replaced by someone in charge, do you think this proposal should be considered?"

Alfred's cousin, who had surrendered before, was the first to respond: "Of course! The enemy is approaching, and I support the temporary regent of the prince!"

Another duke who had recently been interrogated by the emperor struggled for a while, and said, "Your Majesty has been in poor health recently, and it might be a good idea to let the Crown Prince Regent take care of His Majesty's worries."

The emperor stood in front of the Sun Throne, looking coldly at the faces of everyone below.

"Sure enough, you have secretly formed a faction for a long time." The emperor sneered, "Even the lie that the high priest agrees to the prince's regent can be fabricated - the high priest is dead, prince, didn't you report this to me yourself?"

"I'm just reporting to you that the former prince died for the country and the high priest died." Alfred said, "The high priest is hereditary. Once he dies, his title and title will naturally be succeeded by his children-the current high priest strongly agrees that I will be regent .”

The emperor's eyes widened slightly, and he half-believingly said: "The son of the high priest..." It took him a few seconds to remember the boy's name, "Joshua is still alive?"

Alfred neither admitted nor denied, he said: "The son of the former high priest survived, and I brought him back to the main planet. According to the old practice, he automatically becomes the master of the Holy White Tower, the new high priest."

"It's absurd." The emperor retorted, "Based on your dictation—"

Before he finished speaking, the double tall wooden door at the end of the hall was pushed open.

People outside the door walked in slowly.The visitor was young, tall and slender, wearing a pure white high priest's cloak that reached the ground, he walked up to Alfred, and then took off the hood of the cloak, revealing a face that everyone in the hall was familiar with .
