Same light

Intron looked at Youni, who had already made a decision.

"Since it's your emperor's wedding day, we'll go to the Romans to do as Romans do." Youni said, "But please understand that I have to leave some necessary personnel stationed in our own spaceship—for the daily maintenance of the spaceship. "

Now that they have been forced to abandon the ship, no matter how capable the federal people are, they will have no advantage in entering the empire—Youni has no doubt that after they board the opponent's ship, the lieutenant colonel will find an excuse to force search, Make sure they are not carrying weapons.

Talking to these people about diplomatic immunity is a joke.

There is no need for everyone to be inside, so that if something goes wrong, people outside may still be able to find a way to deal with it.

"Of course, this is your freedom," said Colonel Stone.

Yoni then turned and left to arrange the personnel staying on the spaceship. Intron also nodded slightly to Colonel Stone, and followed Yoni.

After a while, they made the personnel arrangements—although Yoni said that only "necessary personnel to maintain the spaceship" were left, but in fact, looking at a quite large mission, there were only a few people who were ready to follow Sri Lanka in the end. Colonel Tong boarded the ship.

Colonel Stone glanced at the number of people with a half-smile, but he didn't say anything, and just invited them into the docking bridge.

In Intron's view, apart from the successful genetic reform, this branch of human civilization has really lagged behind.

Let’s just say that the speed of the interstellar spaceship is horribly slow. By the time they reach the main planet where the emperor is, the celebration month is almost over.

However, it was such a backward country that smashed their two most advanced long-distance exploration ships in a way that they could not understand or decipher.

"It is said that all of this depends on the mighty power given to them by the gods." Intron looked up at the majestic and vast Sanjin Palace complex, and said softly.

Yoni asked, "According to whom?"

"Colonel Stone. Oh, he said his name was Austin."

"It seems that you have made some progress on your journey. Are you close enough to exchange names?"

Intron sarcastically said: "Who says no, he will circle around me as soon as I leave the room. You see, he even told me the secret of the emperor's magical ability—given by the gods."

"What about the high priest? What did he introduce?"

"The only envoy who can represent the gods to walk on the ground, male, surnamed Bai—oh, he is now a queen, and has no surname. Members of the royal family must swear to give up their surnames, which symbolizes dedicating themselves to the country. Gone."

Youni sighed slightly: "Forget it, I knew it wouldn't be useful to ask. I'm just curious, the emperor with such power, even we have to be afraid to avoid it, how could there be a person who is not in our data out of thin air?" People, just emptied the emperor like this?"

Yes, from their point of view, this high priest who appeared suddenly controlled the feudal empire, and was even more closely tied to the emperor through marriage, making his behavior of manipulating the government more reasonable and longer .

"Perhaps the little emperor has force and lacks other abilities." Intren speculated, "After all, he is only 22 years old, younger than us. Whether in the Federation or the Empire, this age is too young."

Youni said: "In any case, we will see you in a while."

Afterwards, they all remained silent, because someone had already walked towards them and led them into the Holy Golden Palace.

The car drove into the gate of the Holy Golden Palace, drove through several palaces and beautiful gardens, and drove through several squares, large and small, before finally stopping slowly.

Youni was in the front, Intron was half a step behind, and the other entourage followed them, and they walked into a magnificent palace hall together.

The two sides of the hall are already full of men and women in formal attire, and they embellish this extremely luxurious palace, just like a living painting of an aristocratic court.

But these are not the most eye-catching.Walking into this hall, the most eye-catching thing is the tall golden throne at the end of the hall. On the top of the back of the huge and luxurious seat is a shining star.

sun.

For a moment, in this dangerous foreign land, in this hostile hall, Yoni looked at the sun and had a subtle feeling—they were of the same race.

In ancient times, this is their common origin.

This subtle sense of intimacy only lasted for less than a moment, and then dissipated.

He is the ambassador of the Federation, and this is the reception hall of the imperial family.

Youni stood still, looked at the empty and luxurious throne, turned to Austin and asked, "Is the emperor of your country not participating in this meeting?"

"Of course His Majesty will receive you, we just need to wait for him to come." Austin said, and then seemed to be joking, "You can't expect His Majesty to sit here and wait for you, right?"

Youni paused, and said, "I'm just confirming."

A pure white and flawless high-backed chair was placed on the side of the Glorious Throne, which was almost as big as the throne, a bit abrupt.

Youni guessed that it was the queen's position, and it seemed to be added later, maybe it was added by order of this powerful high priest.

Actually he almost guessed it right, except that the order came from the emperor, not the empress.

On the other side of the hall, there were a few empty chairs in the upper seats, which were obviously prepared for the missions from afar, but the host hadn't come yet, and the guests couldn't sit down by themselves.

The dignitaries and cabinet ministers on both sides of the hall silently looked at these federal envoys, occasionally chatting softly, but no one dared to chat loudly, even Austin, who seemed to talk a lot, sat silently behind his father .

This is the awe of kingship.

The emperor did not come, but the royal power still weighed heavily on everyone in this hall.

Kingship—that's the kind of concept in history books, and it's still ancient history, the kind that is not tested in entrance examinations.

Intron stood with a calm expression, but he felt a certain absurdity, because of the scene he saw with his own eyes.He was suddenly distracted uncontrollably, wondering whether women and people of color in the empire had the right to vote and be elected?Oh, by the way, they don't have an electoral system, only blood inheritance.

So how did they allow a male queen who couldn't leave an heir for the emperor?

It seems that the method of the high priest exceeded their expectations...

Time seemed to freeze in this luxurious palace hall.

They stood for a long time, so long that Intron felt that the emperor and empress should arrive even if they lived on the other side of the planet. At this time, the door on the side of the throne finally opened.

A man in a white shirt walked in.

He was tall, young and strikingly handsome, and at first Yoni and Intron paid little attention to his grooming, as their eyes were drawn to the young man's pupils.

There seemed to be flames beating in his pupils, golden and dazzling, like burning gold.

They can understand the working principle of the warp drive, understand the manufacturing process of quantum weapons, and can also understand what they saw along the way. The Imperials generally implant some mechanical devices in their palms or arms to assist in operation...but they can't understand this.

This is like a miraculous pair of pupils.

Both Yoni and Intron knew who this man was without an introduction.

According to the battle reports of the battleships that retreated in time, they did indeed launch more than one destructive laser weapon on the fleet of the emperor.

But now, the emperor just appeared in front of them, strolling in the garden, unharmed—or at least seemingly unharmed.

The young emperor with blond hair and golden eyes sat down on the throne very casually, looking down at the envoy from a foreign country.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed very friendly. However, on such a solemn occasion, both the host and the guest were dressed in formal attire in the luxurious palace hall, but he only wore a thin white shirt.

No matter how big the cultural difference is, that simple dress is still a casual casual dress, and it cannot have any grand meaning.

His simple attire should have looked out of place, but the magic is that he is so suitable to sit on the shining stellar throne, so that when he enters the arena, the people in the hall are out of place.

Yes, he alone makes everyone else look out of place.

As long as he sits there, everyone can easily see who the owner of this resplendent castle is.

That guess was wrong, Yoni thought.

Even before the young emperor could speak, he made the conclusion arbitrarily: the speculation about the high priest was wrong.This emperor can never be anyone's puppet.

Yoni glanced at Intron, who nodded slightly.

"Hello." Youni took a step forward calmly and looked directly at the emperor.

"They greeted His Majesty, and congratulated him on his new marriage—but no salutes, no honorifics."

An attendant bowed respectfully and reported to Xiu who was half lying down.

"Your Majesty did not mention the matter of giving them a seat, and directly entered the formal meeting process."

Xiu's body was covered with a thick velvet blanket. Under the blanket, his abdomen was raised high, and the exaggerated arc looked a little scary.

However, his complexion looked much healthier, not as pale as it had been a few months ago.

"Where is the meeting going now?" he asked.

The attendant replied: "It's just passed the stage of exchanging greetings... Now it's meal time. According to the procedure, His Majesty should invite them to the luncheon soon."

"Of course, it is our diplomatic etiquette to keep envoys dining in the Holy Golden Palace." Xiu turned over a page of the book in his hand, with a calm expression, "You go to the banquet hall to inform, just say... I want to have a meal with His Majesty. Have lunch together and invite him to the Queen's Palace for dinner."
