Same light

Just yesterday, Alfred deliberately intercepted Xiu at the ship port to provoke him. After just one night, he seemed to have forgotten what happened the day before, and called him "big brother" as affectionately as when he was a child.

Under the watchful eyes of all the people, Xiu suddenly remembered many things from the past.

He remembered that Alfred disdained posturing and deception the most since he gradually became sensible.He has never been impatient with red tape, and especially hates the nobles' playfulness in public. In the past, he often shamed the emperor and the second prince in public. For this, he did not know how many times he was reprimanded by the emperor.

Just one month before the accident two years ago, he was recalled from the school to Shengjin Palace by the emperor for calling the second prince "an illegitimate child who is not on stage" in public.But Alfred has always only obeyed his elder brother's discipline. He confronted his father face to face that day, and the emperor was so angry that he wanted to put him in confinement. Xiu rushed to rescue him.

Such a proud little prince, Alfred, who would rather be imprisoned than hypocritically change his words, now respectfully kneels down to salute Xiu in public, holds his hand intimately, his eyes are full of respect and love for his elder brother, as if They have never been apart.

It's only two years.

All the media reporters were writing like chicken blood, and the ether flow quickly passed the sensor screens embedded in the flesh and the holographic screen stopped in mid-air, and recorded the scene of the brothers and sisters. .

The hand that Xiu was holding suddenly felt a little cold.He thought he would be relieved, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, he unexpectedly felt some inexplicable...sadness.

"You have grown up." Xiu said, with a calm expression on his face, "You have also developed skills."

Alfred's smile deepened, and he replied respectfully: "Brother is awesome. My temperament and abilities are all taught by my elder brother. Of course, my elder brother can't be more clear."

Xiu just glanced at him and stopped talking.

The pair of noble royal brothers who were directly descended from the royal family stopped talking for a while before the others dared to greet them.

The thin man behind Alfred knelt on one knee and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiu said: "Get up, Joshua. You have been with His Royal Highness for two years, and you have worked hard. Before I came, I went to see the teacher, and he asked me to bring you a message. He wants you to accompany Your Highness with all your heart, and pay attention to yourself. body of."

Joshua lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely do my best."

Joshua Bai was the only son of this high priest.The Bai family's connections have always been weak, and the current high priest only had a son Joshua when he was over fifty. If there is no accident, he will be the next high priest.

The exile of the prince did not happen during the last three generations of emperors. It caused some controversy when it was announced two years ago. Fortunately, Joshua, the only son of the high priest at the time, offered to accompany the little prince to think about his mistakes. It sounds reasonable.

The position of high priest is now just a spiritual symbol, and has no real power.It is also because of this that it is most appropriate for the son of the high priest to accompany and supervise the little prince to go to the border to reflect on his mistakes.

Without waiting for Joshua to say anything else, Austin, who was standing beside Xiu, bowed his chest and said, "Your Highness."

Alfred responded with a smile: "Austin, it's you. When was the last time we met? It's been a few years."

Austin gave a dry laugh, and glanced at Xiu very uncomfortably. Xiu looked back at him with a calm expression, obviously not planning to have the provocation of being stopped at Starship Port last night here.

"It's been a long time..." Austin said vaguely, "Is your illness better? Your Majesty and His Royal Highness are very concerned about your health, and my father also wants me to greet you."

"Let father and elder brother worry." Alfred smiled at Xiu.He is obviously much taller than Xiu, but now he looks obedient and obedient, like some kind of big dog.

"It's much better now. It's just that I didn't adapt to the climate when I first came here. After resting for a few days, I have returned to normal campus life." Alfred seemed to have thought of something, and added coquettishly, "Brother is really Yes, why didn't you tell me in advance when you come to school? I came here early to greet my eldest brother."

Xiu paused, looked at him and said slowly, "I thought you couldn't catch up."

"How come?" Alfred seemed oblivious to the deep meaning of this sentence, and laughed, "No matter how big the school is, the dormitory is only 5 minutes away from here."

He did arrive 5 minutes after the opening, and the reporters recorded: The little prince got up early when he heard the news of the prince's visit, and hurried over from the dormitory.

Xiu could guess how the reporters would understand this conversation without thinking about it. However, as far as Xiu knew, Alfred had been on Xueli for two years, and he had never even lived in a student dormitory for one day, let alone a "normal" campus life".

However, there were so many high-level leaders and professors from the schools present, and none of them reacted to Alfred's words, as if he was telling the most common truth.

Xiu seemed to have noticed that Alfred held his arm at this moment, which seemed to be a respectful gesture, but the strength was not to break free.

"Brother, let's go and show you around my school."

Visiting the school was the original itinerary, and the group headed for the school museum in a mighty way.

The reason why a border planet like Xueli set up a branch of the Royal Academy is because it is a planet with great historical significance.

The founding emperor and the founding generalissimo of this dynasty once fought side by side here against the cult legion that opposed genetic technology at that time.

It was here that the Golden Eye became famous in the first battle, and became famous all over the world overnight.

Facing a huge portrait that took up half of the wall with his palm, the guide said: "This is the famous 'Picture of the Battle of Xueli Star', which was reconstructed by famous painters and dictated by war reporters at that time. Of course, now we see What I got was a realistic hologram, and the real thing was recorded in the Holy Golden Palace."

In this huge portrait, a majestic man in his prime is holding a huge bow and is about to shoot.There are corpses and gunpowder smoke all around him, and his pupils are like two rounds of dazzling ancient days, golden and bright, shocking people's hearts.

This famous painting depicting the heroic fighting posture of the founding emperor is well known to everyone, and naturally no one present has never seen it, not to mention that the two princes even saw the real one in the Holy Golden Palace.

However, it was the first time for many people present to see the painting and the descendants of the protagonist in the painting at the same time, and they inevitably had some thoughts in their hearts.

The prince is an ordinary person and has no genetic ability, so of course I won't mention it.But the little prince is said to have inherited the golden pupils, but his pupils are just a light yellow-brown color, not like the one in the painting at all.

It seems that the war reporter back then may have been awed by the heroic demeanor of the emperor, so he added a lot of his own imagination when dictating...

The lecturer didn't spend too much time on this well-known painting, and soon introduced another collection with full enthusiasm.

"His Royal Highness, my lords, please move here. Next we will see the most important and precious historical relics of Xueli Star. Maybe you have seen holographic images elsewhere, but the real ones have been kept in Xueli Star. After the victory, the great emperor gave this item as a gift to the aborigines at that time in the snow in the sky to thank them for their help in the battle, which is also the origin of the name Xueli Star."

With his palms up, the guide gestured respectfully to the huge glass cover behind him: "Look, this is the Bow of Glory used by the founding emperor!"

Inside the glass cover, a huge longbow with a length of more than two meters and a long top and a short bottom stood there quietly.

"This bow is not only very huge, but also extremely heavy, and it is extremely difficult to draw it." The guide said, "According to records, many aborigines of Xueli star with strong physique tried to draw this bow, but none of them tried to draw it." People are truly successful. This is the bow of glory that only the emperor is qualified to use, it symbolizes..."

The explainer was talking, when suddenly, a sharp siren sounded from a very close place.

"—Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Someone in the security circle shouted loudly, and just as the voice finished, there were only a few loud "bang bang" sounds, and something hit the glass cover of the giant bow heavily.

In fact, you don't need to see clearly to guess that it is a bullet.

The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic. Most of the reporters were ordinary people. They had never seen the scene of bullets shooting indiscriminately. It was a mess at this time. Even the officials and nobles ran away in a panic to find cover, screaming and roaring.

"Run, run!"

"Protect the prince!"

"Don't run around! Let the guards handle it!"

The prince's personal entourage, Austin and his subordinates all surrounded Xiu vigilantly, and protected Alfred inside by the way.

At such a chaotic moment, Alfred and Xiu seemed out of place with this scene, because they were neither flustered nor angry. If one just looked at the expressions of the two brothers, one would think that nothing had happened.

"Why is the prince so unmoved?" When the reporters were busy saving their lives and no one was paying attention to them, Alfred whispered mockingly, "No way, you already knew this would happen, right?"

The close-fitting security circle was very small, and the backs of the entourage were almost stuck to the clothes of the two princes, and they could only lean against the glass cover, squeezing each other.

At such a close distance, Xiu could only look up at him and said, "You... have grown a lot taller."

Alfred froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xiu to say such a word at such a time.

Then he suddenly noticed that Xiu's neck was white and slender, especially when he raised it up like this, as if he was offering a sacrifice...

This sudden thought occupied Alfred's mind for a second, and then he resolutely cleared out the inexplicable thought, and said, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Another bullet hit the glass cover and bounced off, Xiu didn't say a word.

"Very good." Alfred said, glancing at the battle not far away, "If someone dies because of this today, I will blame you for it."

"No." Xiu said suddenly, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "They will only kill you."
