The cute pet of the empire

Royce calendar 455 years, winter, December.

In Platinum City, a grand gathering was held once again.

The Royce Empire was officially established, and Luo Huan divided his rule into four regions, the Luna region, the El region, the Barron region, and the unconquered Mulang region.

He sent his able and trusted men to govern these places, and appointed them governors of the places.

He reorganized his army, mixing the surrendered Shakhs with Royths and putting on new clothes.

And he himself, wearing the royal robe that the weavers rushed to make overnight, slowly stepped up the stone steps to the high platform.

His generals followed him and witnessed the scene firsthand.

The sun was shining, and the snow in the distance covered the mountains with a holy color. On this morning, he announced the establishment of the Royce Empire to everyone.

This means that he is no longer just the king of Royce, a small country in the Luna Federation, but has become the emperor of the Royce Empire across the continent.

The Shah people, the El people, the Royce people, the Alanwei people, and the surrounding ethnic groups all bowed down and knelt down at this moment, expressing their submission and allegiance to Luo Huan in the way of their own nation.

In the afternoon, the newly enthroned emperor changed into new clothes.

Wearing a red robe, he pulled a young man who was also wearing a red robe beside him, and walked to the empty square where the sports meeting was going to be held.

"In the name of the gods, witness the oath we made with our lover!" Luo Huan's voice resounded throughout the square. Behind him, tens of thousands of soldiers swore together with their bride or groom.

"I love him, and I am willing to become a lifelong partner with him, to blend my soul with my other half, and never give up."

When Mao Xiaohua said these words softly, he turned his head slightly and looked at Luo Huan beside him.

This 25-year-old man is still young, but because of years of fighting, he has shown an indescribable calmness and majesty. His brown curly hair is loosely draped over his shoulders, just like the boy many years ago.

"I love you!" Luo Huan looked deeply at the person beside him, and his eyes met.

They hugged and kissed until dusk.

The great drums sounded at dusk, and the cheers and shouts sounded again, with a touch of rudeness and savagery, but with a joy that had never been seen before.

The four-year sports meeting was held just outside the city of Moulins, and Royce's soldiers almost carnivaled all night.

Every event in the Alanwei Sports Games back then was moved over without any delay. Needless to say, those fighting, javelin, discus, and running, even the last Temple of the Brave was not left behind.

This grand gathering lasted for half a month and ended on the last day of the year.

On New Year's Eve, the Royce army, after the carnival, set off for the last goal.

It was the Shah's last stronghold, Murang, which had been besieged for months and had almost no food.

Compared with the scene outside the city, the inside of Mulang City looks dilapidated and deserted, and the atmosphere of tension and uneasiness surrounds the city.

It was cold and windy, and in these few months, King Luke III, who had almost torn off the roof of the city to keep warm, was currently shrinking in a corner of the palace, constantly stretching out his hands to roast the little fire that had finally risen.

Many people around him have either surrendered or rebelled. Even one of his trusted servants, who once went to Royce as an envoy and left Luo Huan with power, also sneaked out of the city yesterday and ran to kneel Lick Luo Huan.

After hearing the news, Luke III was furious again. He scolded those treacherous guys, and he calmed down after a full night of mania.

"Russ, I can't surrender like this!" Luke III looked at the black leopard beside him, and he reached out and touched the leopard's head.

Everyone has left, and those who haven't left are planning how to betray themselves. The most loyal person around him is only this leopard.

The black leopard stood up and let out a low growl.

After Gamila was defeated half a year ago, Rus hurried back and asked Luke III to make early preparations.

But Liu Ke III still didn't believe that he was really defeated, and he still didn't believe that Luo Huan could reach the city of Mulang in just a few months.

When Luke III saw Royce's army in person, he wanted to run, but it was too late.

He has no way to retreat, and there is no way to go except surrender.

Luke III gritted his teeth, he stood up abruptly, and said to Russ, "Russ, help me!"

The black leopard walked back and forth irritably: "It's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible. Tonight I will wear your armor and go out to distract Luo Huan. You...leave at night!"

"Leave? Let me run around like a tramp and go into exile from now on?" Luke III became irritable, with a blush on his face, and roared excitedly, "Or let me be caught by Luo Huan, after being humiliated die?!"

"No! I don't want to do that. I am an emperor, a king. I must...take back what belongs to me from Luo Huan!"

Ruth took two steps in the hall, he walked behind Luke III, turned into a man, pulled a coat and put it on, then pressed the excited man's shoulder: "Calm down, listen to me. If it was before the Battle of Camila, maybe we still have a chance, but it is impossible now! The Shah Empire is over, what we have to do is to find a way to preserve the last bit of strength, maybe there will be a chance in the future..."

"What chance is there!" Luke III turned his head suddenly, and shook off the hand that was on his shoulder, "You are just a leopard, you don't know what kind of life a person should live!"

Ruth's originally lazy expression froze in an instant, and his black eyes lost focus in an instant.

But soon, he regained that lazy expression: "Yes, I am indeed just a leopard. I never know what a human heart is like. Then, as your majesty said Do it, what do you want me to do, you only need to order, there is no need to discuss with me."

Luke III heard the dissatisfaction in Ruth's words. He hurriedly stepped forward and held Ruth's hand: "No... I was in a hurry just now, I didn't mean that..."

Ruth slowly withdrew his hand from Luke III's, his expression was a little stiff: "Don't worry, I said before, I will be loyal to you and will not change. I am just a leopard, say It won't change because I haven't learned...to learn the human lie."

"Russ!" Luke III stepped forward, trying to appease the angry leopard, but found that he no longer knew what to do.

"What do you want me to do, Your Majesty?" Ruth said calmly.

"Russ, I will never forget what happened when I was a child...you are my friend, grow up with me..." Luke III felt restless in his heart. He didn't understand when this leopard became so unapproachable.

He remembered that when he was a child, as long as he reached out to touch Ruth's ear, the leopard would happily play with him.

"I don't want to hear about the past, tell me what do you want me to do?" Ruth interrupted Luke III, feeling a wave of disgust from his heart.

He didn't like Luke III, he could see people's hearts from the eyes of the Shah Emperor - greed, deceit, incompetence, and endless gluttony.

"I want Luo Huan to die! You go and assassinate him, he is definitely not your opponent. If he dies, I will be able to re-rule Shah and regain everything I lost! Isn't leopard the best at lurking and approaching prey? You He must be able to kill him!" Luke III's eyes began to glow, even revealing a longing look.

"Impossible, Your Majesty! If this order had been issued before Camila, I might have had a chance. But now..."

"Why not now?!"

"Because... beside Luo Huan, there is a leopard who is as sharp, as strong, and as vigilant as me!" Ruth said calmly, "He is by Luo Huan's side, and I can't find a chance, and I can't... …It is impossible to fight to the death with that white leopard.”

"Is that... Luo Huan's male favourite?"

"Half a month ago, they held their wedding in Platinum City." Ruth's voice was calm and lifeless, "He is not his male favorite, but his lover, standing side by side with him... qualified Lover standing by his side."

"Oh! It can't last for long!" Luke III dismissed it, "It's just that Luo Huan was temporarily dazzled by passion, which also shows that you have a better chance, as long as you lurk into Luo Huan's camp and take advantage of it." The two men were doing their work..."

"Enough!" Ruth drank the words of Luke III, and he felt a tightness in his chest. Yes, the instinct of cats is to lurk and hunt.

But when is it necessary to use such despicable means?When will I be reduced to this point?

"Do as I say!" Luke III stared at the man in black who was walking restlessly in the room, "Have you forgotten what you promised my father? Be loyal to me for life, protect me, at all costs. "

Ruth stopped. He looked back at the man standing by the fire.

Yes, he never forgot.

How could it be possible to forget the existence of that person?How can I forget what happened in the past.

That year, he was just a pet in the family of High Priest Shah. He was only four months old. He slipped out to play in winter and saw a ten-year-old child being pushed into the icy lake.

The panther jumped into the lake, grabbed the child by the collar, and dragged the child away from the embrace of death with all his might.

Since then, the child has often hugged the leopard's neck.

"Leopard Leopard, I like you!"

"Let me give you a name, Ruth, is this a good name? It means Guardian."

"Leopard, what's wrong with you? Why are you so disturbed?" The 13-year-old boy had no idea what happened to the black panther until the leopard turned into a human and held the boy in his arms.

"I like you Russ! Be my general and protect my land!" Emperor Shah, who was enthroned at the age of 16, said to his leopard.

"I like you Ruth, but someone doesn't like me, go and kill him!" Emperor Shah said, with a cold light in his eyes.

"I still like you, but I must get married and have a child!" The 20-year-old Emperor Shah said decisively, "I am the king of this land, and I have given you many things."

"What else do you want? I am an emperor, and I will not allow anyone to press on me! Whether it is a woman, a man, or a leopard!" The 22-year-old Emperor Shah is competing with Philip for what he wants ,already changed.

"Then, let's make a deal!" Emperor Shah, who was wearing a light veil, came to the side of the black panther who was extremely out of control step by step, "I will help you spend these ten days and ten nights, you... Go beat Philip! I like a man who fights in battle."

The black leopard let out a low growl, and without thinking, he pulled the person he loved and hated into his arms, overwhelmed him, and entered.Time and time again, until his heart was filled with that person.

"I don't want anyone to know about our relationship!" The 25-year-old emperor who defeated Philip said coldly, "Don't come here again!"

"No one knows that I am a leopard! I am Russ, your most powerful general! Can't I come to discuss military issues with you?" Russ felt as if something was strangling his heart, and he was in pain. It's hard to breathe.

"Heh! I am a man, and I would never want to be under another man! It was just a trivial matter before, and I hope that you will be General Shah with peace of mind in the future."

Ruth turned and walked away. Since then, he has never turned into a leopard again. He fought for him, defended the territory for him, defeated Philip who tried to resist, and suppressed El who tried to rebel.

But when he couldn't stand that kind of four years, and returned to Barron just to have a look at that man from a distance, he found that the emperor who claimed that he "wouldn't want to lie under another man" was fighting with someone. have sex.

At this moment, he suddenly understood: it's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that... he doesn't like himself anymore.

Ruth stayed in Er for a long time, unwilling to return to Shah Baron until he heard the death of the man.

Indulging in lust, drinking, and having fun day and night made the 33-year-old Emperor Shah fall ill and there was no cure.

When he arrived, the man lying on the bed, who was already sick and inhuman, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and held Ruth's strong and dry hands: "I... I only have... one Ask...to protect...to protect my...son..."

Russ didn't move. He didn't understand why this man could say such words before he died, even though he had driven him away.

"Promise...promise me...for no other reason...just...just because I once let you spend ten days...ten days and ten nights of good time...once..."

"promise me……"

Ruth's eyes fell on the 12-year-old child in the distance. The child looked very similar to his father. He was weeping silently at the moment, weak and helpless.

"Okay! I...promise you, protect him, help him, no matter when, he will be betrayed!" Ruth stood up and walked to the child.

This is King Shah's successor, Leuk III.

Not long after Leuk III came to the throne, Philip tried to become independent again, and Ruth took up the long sword without hesitation and rushed to the border.

Time after time, day after day, Leuk III gradually grew up.

Right or wrong, he was always on the side of Luke III.

He wanted to marry the priest's daughter, so he helped.

He wanted to attack Luo Huan, so he drove the wheels of the chariot.

He wanted to catch the white leopard, so he did it.

This kid has the same face as his father, and the same lies and deceptions.

But Russ didn't care, he didn't understand humans, and he didn't want to understand humans anymore. He was a leopard, and leopards should only be with leopards.

Everything he did was to fulfill the original oath, to repay the person who had saved him and hurt him.

"Huh~!" Ruth walked out of Murang's palace, and the snow was falling heavily at the moment, so he put on his cloak.

"Defend my realm forever. I will love you forever too."

The voice from many years ago rang in his ears, and Ruth let out a smirk: "It's just a lie of a man. How could it be possible for a man, a man who conquered the world, to fall in love with a leopard, how could it be possible, forever?"

Maybe it's time for all of this to end.

This was the last thing he did for his original promise.
