Counterattack [Interstellar]

In the study, Auston looked at Allen on the screen with mixed feelings in his heart. Prince Adair hesitated several times, and finally couldn't help admiring: "If it wasn't for the sudden incident, if it wasn't for the fact that His Highness was on the scene I really want to suspect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had drawn up this speech a few months ago. He didn't overly lyrical, didn't elaborate on the losses he had suffered, and didn't avoid the important and ignore the minor, but he cleaned himself up thoroughly. The important thing is that there are no flaws in the transition from front to back, this..."

Prince Adair didn't say the last sentence. If he didn't know the inside story, he would almost believe every word Allen said.

"It's just." Prince Adair looked at Oston uneasily, and said in a low voice, "The matter about Her Royal Highness may not be so satisfactory, and the public may forgive Pei Xuan's grief and indignation for frequently causing accidents. And helpless, but the nobles and the House now have deep opinions on Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and it may not be easy to deal with, and the Crown Prince has difficulties in concealing the identity of the guide, everyone can understand, but privately combined..."

"Privately married?" Oston turned his head to look at Prince Adair, frowning, "Who told you they were already married?"

Now Prince Adair was also stunned, and he said dumbly: "Isn't there? This is admitted by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Auston instantly understood Pei Yao's intentions, and said with a slumped smile, "Pei Yao... I thought he would take revenge on Alan, but he was even more determined."

Prince Adair became more and more puzzled, and hesitated: "You mean no? Probably not, the crown prince and concubine have a deep relationship, and get along day and night... and His Royal Highness has also acquiesced to His Royal Highness' statement."

Auston couldn't help shaking his head, feeling absurd: "Allen will definitely not let Pei Yao stay and suffer, why don't you take the opportunity to send him out at this time and wait for some time."

Only then did Prince Adair understand Alan's intentions, and he thumped in his heart. He knew Mrs. Jenny's position, and subconsciously wanted to go to Mrs. Jenny. Unfortunately, Alan didn't give him enough time. On the screen, Alan After everyone's discussion became quieter, he continued: "The guide's question is over, and now I will answer the question of whether I have been marked."

The conference hall fell silent instantly, and Allen's voice was calm: "I would like to apologize to everyone for this. I have indeed established a permanent bond with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Everyone had already expected it, but they were not surprised. Although it is a felony to marry in private, combined with the secret experiment that Allen said before, it seems that this is not so unforgivable... After all, Allen accepted the dangerous factor for the empire. It's normal for Gao's experimenter to be outside the White Pagoda and to be in love with his lover, but it's not so fair to other sentinels - many people have worked hard all their lives but have not been able to get the right to a blind date, but Pei Yao easily got one Guide, and thinking that he is Pei Xuan's son, many people looked at him with more complicated eyes.

"Here I need to clarify some people's slander against Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." A gloomy look flashed in Allen's eyes, and he paused, "I don't know why some people openly called the Crown Princess an undercover agent sent by the Expeditionary Army to the main planet. "

Alan changed his official tone just now, and said in a serious voice: "First of all, the Crown Princess has never seen his parents since she was seven years old. People who spread such rumors think that Pei Xuan has the ability to tell his son before going out. Do you want to be your own internal response in the future, or do you think that Pei Yao, who is only seven years old, can understand Pei Xuan's instructions and put them into action?"

"Furthermore, the Crown Princess has served as His Majesty's personal guard for many years, and has always been valued by His Majesty the Emperor. If he knew about it in advance, then..." Allen paused meaningfully, "We probably have no chance to experience it. It's all sorts of things today."

"Since I have chosen to succeed to the throne at this time, I am ready to face all problems, but this 'all problems' does not include others attaching to me and the princess, if I find such rumors and Slander." Allen's eyes were burning, "The royal family will investigate to the end and will not tolerate it."

Many reporters in the conference hall broke into a cold sweat when they heard the words.

"Excuse me..." Taking advantage of this gap, a young reporter bravely raised his hand and signaled, "According to the laws of the empire, sentries and guides who are combined in private will be separated and exiled for ten years, then you and Your Highness the Crown Princess... "

Allen's eyes were cold, and when he glanced at the reporter, the reporter couldn't help being timid, but he was instructed by the elders of the House of Representatives, and he must take this opportunity to let Allen express his position in public. He bit the bullet and continued: "You and Your Highness the Crown Princess Will you also accept... this punishment..." The reporter's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible.

Allen pursed his thin lips slightly and did not answer, the conference hall fell into embarrassment instantly, Cecil gritted his teeth secretly, got up and said: "Sorry, it's not yet the questioning session, wait..."

"No waiting." Allen interrupted Cecil with a calm voice, "This is not a press conference, and there is no question-and-answer session. I will explain the questions that need to be answered one by one, and will not respond to the rest. "

Allen looked at the reporter with a terrified face, and said, "I have no obligation to explain to you and the person behind you who instructed you to ask me questions."

Allen withdrew his gaze, and said lightly: "Reporters who came with this purpose can leave now."

Mrs. Jenny in the audience suddenly felt a surge of joy. Although Alan's attitude is easy to offend some people, but in this situation, no one with a tough attitude will only be restrained by others, especially those who know Alan is a guide with ulterior motives, thinking that he can provoke the young prince at will.

Mrs. Jenny suddenly remembered a sentence that Allen said before when dealing with rude reporters: If you want to listen, you won't listen.

Mrs. Jenny, who had been worried for many days, smiled for the first time in days. The words from the beginning were just right at this time.

And Alan continued as if nothing had happened after shocking everyone present: "I don't think I need to elaborate on why we established a private relationship. Emotional, the only reason is this."

"Let's talk about private unions in the Regulations on the Protection of Guides. The starting point of this regulation was to protect guides and crack down on black market trading guides. I support this very much, but I cannot agree with the content of the punishment. Black market trading guides The guide is also a victim, why should he be punished?"

"Of course, this is not the only case that is governed by this regulation, but also the case of me and the princess, who violated the guide protection regulations and married without formalities. It is true that this punishment is very deterrent. The guides and sentries were separated and exiled for ten years, which cut off the water source of the two people and deprived them of the air they depended on for survival. There are more than 30 guides and sentries who have been punished by this punishment in the past [-] years in the empire, most of them are here. We lost our lives in ten years, that is to say, we lost nearly a thousand guides just because of this regulation alone.”

"And what is the root cause of all this? Excluding black market transactions, behind every case of private union is a hidden guide. In the final analysis, it is our guide management system that prevents guides from entering the White Tower, and Alice is now The efforts made are also to make the guides no longer afraid to enter the academy, and they will no longer be deprived of their freedom."

"No one is born to be slaughtered." Allen looked ahead steadily, and said slowly, "This is a sentence left to me by Queen Marianne when she was dying, and I would like to share it with you all."

Thinking about what happened to Allen in just 20 years, and then recalling the words of Queen Marianne, it makes people suddenly feel a little tragic.

After the speech was over, the audience was silent.

"Maybe some people think that I am justifying myself, but unfortunately, I am not in the mood now. Before taking the stage, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess told me that everyone should pay for the mistakes they made. Being in a high position, I can only pardon others, and I have no ability to be pardoned." Allen's gaze never fell on Pei Yao, at this time, as long as he saw Pei Yao, he would change his mind even with a single glance. Allen took a deep breath and said, "The princess and I will accept the punishment. After the gunshot wound on the princess recovers, I will exile the princess."

No one expected that Allen suddenly changed the subject, and there was a complex exclamation in the conference hall. Allen continued in a deep voice: "Next, I will be the No. purpose."

Everyone was stunned and got up quickly. There was a sound of clothing in the conference hall. Allen said every word, loudly: "The empire will permanently abolish the law of exile and private association with sentinel guides. I, Norman Allen and Queen Pei Yao, They will become the last pair of supernatural beings in the empire who were exiled because of their private union."

"The above content will be engraved in the laws of the Norman Empire for a long time as the emperor's will."

Chapter 110

Miraculously, the disputes and chaos in the past few days subsided instantly after Alan's short succession report. The former commander of the expeditionary force, Pei Xuan, acquiesced in Alan's arrangement, and the former emperor Auston also agreed with Alan. With all the arguments, even the House of Representatives was a little confused this time.

"Your Highness has contacted Admiral Pei Xuan long before this in order to prevent any change. The Admiral thought that His Majesty was forced to abdicate by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He had already apologized to His Highness for Alice's matter, and now His Highness has won it." A big favor, of course I will support His Highness 100%." ​​Prince Adair gathered the shawl for Mrs. Jenny, stunned for a while and said with a smile, "No...not the prince, but His Majesty the Emperor."

Mrs. Jenny lowered her head and smiled: "I've been calling for so many years, and I'm not used to changing my mouth suddenly. I always lose my manners in front of His Majesty... In fact, Pei Xuan's attitude is not difficult to understand. Auston has already abdicated, so he can be regarded as a resignation." Qiu, he knows that Her Highness the Queen is in an embarrassing situation, of course he will not be aggressive anymore, after all, he still cares about Her Highness, but Auston...he has changed a lot in the past half month."

"Your Majesty has worked hard for many years, so it's a little uncomfortable to be suddenly idle now." Prince Adair understood that his wife had always been cold to Auston, but in fact he still cared about her brother, so he said considerately, "Wait a few more days , let's invite him to live in the manor for a while."

Mrs. Jenny's heart warmed, she nodded with a smile.

While talking, the two walked into the new emperor's palace - Amansel Hall.

Prince Adair handed the sword around his waist to the attendant in the palace, and the two followed the attendant and slowly went upstairs along the spiral staircase.

"His Majesty."

Prince Adair bowed, and Mrs. Jenny curtseyed. In front of the French window, Allen put down the documents in his hand and smiled faintly: "Aunt, uncle."

In the short ten days since he succeeded to the throne, Allen has dealt with more than 20 members of the royal family in a more or less severe manner. Several of Allen's cousins ​​who were eyeing the throne before are now exiled, repatriated, and the main star According to the law, Mrs. Jenny's children also have the right to inherit. Therefore, Mrs. Jenny was still worried for a long time. What did her children do, and took advantage of this big change of blood to give Prince Adair more military power, and Mrs. Jenny's youngest son was also exceptionally transferred to the Palace of Amansel as a guard. Take it easy.

"he……"

Allen suddenly didn't know what to say. Mrs. Jenny had a delicate mind, and instantly understood what Allen meant, and said, "His Royal Highness is recovering very well. I just visited him this morning, and His Highness's wound has basically healed." I'm in a good mood, and asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

After that day, Allen arranged the best medical resources for Pei Yao, but he never saw Pei Yao again. He just contacted Pei Yao's attending doctor every morning and evening to confirm Pei Yao's condition. God, Mrs. Jenny was worried that Pei Yao would be sad at first, and kept expressing that Alan was very busy now, but he had been paying attention to Pei Yao's body, but Pei Yao did not hold grudges against Alan as she thought. On the contrary, Pei Yao Yao Anran accepted all of Alan's arrangements, and he did not shy away from Alan in his speech. Occasionally, he would ask Mrs. Jenny to advise Alan to pay attention to his body and not to be too tired.

Mrs. Jenny felt aggrieved for Pei Yao, hesitated and said, "That day... was the day you went to condolences to the soldiers who were injured in this accident. Her Royal Highness got up very early and changed into a neat set of clothes. He... ..."

"Jenny." Prince Adair frowned, "Don't talk nonsense."

Mrs. Jenny turned her head and didn't say anything further, but Alan understood everything in her heart - Pei Yao thought that he might stop by to see him, so he got up early to clean up, changed a set of clothes and waited.

It's a pity that I left after visiting the wounded soldiers that day, without even asking about Pei Yao's situation.

Allen lowered his eyes and said in a low voice for a long while: "Got it."

Looking at Alan's still calm face, Mrs. Jenny couldn't tell whether she was relieved or disappointed. She bowed her head: "The doctor said, Her Royal Highness has already endured the fatigue of the journey, and Her Highness also expressed her willingness to leave the main star as soon as possible to avoid any further rumors." , I don't know what you mean..."

"At least one more month of training." Allen said directly, "Tell his doctor to keep his mouth shut if he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself. He can't say when Her Majesty the Queen will leave the main planet."

Alan still didn't ask about Pei Yao's situation, nor did he intend to visit Pei Yao. Mrs. Jenny hesitated to speak, and finally lowered her eyes and stopped talking.

Prince Adair looked at his wife with a wry smile. As a husband, he understood his wife's tenderness, but as a man, he admired Alan's forbearance and Pei Yao's calmness even more.

The parting is imminent, is it really necessary to eat the food that the two of them have never eaten, and go to the places that the two of them have never been to, as in the movie?

After the lingering, how to separate?

Moreover, Prince Adair could faintly understand what Allen was thinking. He was not superstitious, but he had a vague feeling that if everything was done before parting, the ending would often not be so happy.

There is another thing that he has never dared to tell Mrs. Jenny. In the previous conversation with Auston, he deduced that there was no final union between Alan and Pei Yao.

After guessing this level, Prince Adair admired Alan's arrangement even more. It has to be said that behind this seemingly tragic punishment, Alan had minimized the loss. Now all he needs is time to dilute this. The trauma caused by this accident to the main star and the empire gave him enough time to establish his own prestige and build his own empire.

Looking at the youngest emperor in the history of the Norman Empire in front of him, Prince Adair sighed in his heart.

In this way, another month passed.

After confirming that Pei Yao's body has basically recovered and can withstand any hardships of the journey, Alan made a decision to exile Pei Yao to Tara.

Alan originally wanted to entrust Pei Yao to General Balck, but he changed his mind after much consideration... Pei Xuan cannot be blamed for what happened before, and Pei Yao's mother was not at fault, Pei Yao hadn't seen him for many years My parents, now that the incident has calmed down a bit, Alan is still willing to let Pei Yao reunite with his parents.

Although the climate in Tara is not as good as that of Balk's residence, at least Pei Yao can still have relatives by his side after leaving him.

On the day of farewell, there was no cloud in the port of Amanthel's temple.

I haven't seen each other for many days, but the two days seemed like they were only separated for a few hours.

"How's your body?" Allen looked at Pei Yao quietly, and said softly, "The left abdominal injury is serious, is it okay?"

Pei Yao was still wearing the uniform of the head of the Legion of Glory, and his face was still handsome under the sun. He paused and nodded: "Please rest assured, I am still fully recovered."

Allen said "um", gossiping as usual: "The weather over there is not very good, I asked you to prepare some things for you, you have to take care of yourself, but... I am very relieved to be around your parents. "

"Tell Admiral Pei Xuan for me that the main star will always welcome him." Alan smiled faintly, "He can come back anytime."

Pei Yao couldn't stop nodding, and tears fell down accidentally. Alan took out a handkerchief, wiped it slowly for Pei Yao, and asked, "When did Admiral Pei Xuan and his wife promise you to come back before the expedition?"

Pei Yao was stunned for a while before he said in a daze, "Father said... one year." But the little Pei Yao waited year after year. He grew up and enlisted in the army, but he still didn't wait until he didn't return. parents.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for a year." Alan's eyes were gentle and firm, "But my promise will definitely be fulfilled. Three years, never more than one day."

The uneasiness and melancholy of the past few days disappeared instantly in front of Alan's promise, and Pei Yao calmed down instantly. He lowered his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "I believe in you."

"Your Majesty...why is he so cruel?"

"What's the matter?" Not far away, Prince Adair, who was a member of the royal family and bid farewell to Pei Yao, turned to look at his wife, "What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Jenny's eyes were slightly red: "I mean, have you seen how your Majesty is so cruel? Her Majesty the Queen is in tears. He is reluctant to part with Your Majesty..."

"However, His Majesty has remained calm and self-reliant from the beginning to the end, and has arranged everything for Her Majesty the Queen. His words and deeds are not like the grief just now." Mrs. Jenny wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling extremely sad in her heart, "I really don't understand... Give the queen a hug."

Prince Adair was helpless: "Do you want to make it harder for Her Royal Highness the Queen?"

The emperor and the empress parted, and it was not easy for everyone to step forward, but to watch from a distance. They left the port one after another until Pei Yao boarded the ship, but Alan stayed in the control room and never came out. Mrs. Jenny was worried after all. After waiting outside the port for a long time, he couldn't help but turned back again. Sure enough, Alan seemed to have turned into a statue, standing in front of the French window of the control room as before Pei Yao left.

Mrs. Jenny walked into the control room anxiously, hesitated and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to leave."

Ai Lun didn't answer, and suddenly whispered after a long while: "I told Pei Yao before that after the blind date season... I will marry him. I said that I would give him an unprecedented wedding. We also want a child."

"Pei Yao said...that we should have at least two children, a boy and a girl. The boy's name is Cyril, and the girl's name is Marianne."

Allen touched his chest subconsciously, and suddenly felt empty in his heart.

After the blind date season passed, he ascended the throne and became emperor, but he failed to do anything he promised to Pei Yao.

Allen stared silently at the cloudless blue sky, and burst into tears instantly.
