Assassin [ABO]

Lorgar was taken to the royal cemetery by his servants. This royal cemetery is located to the west of Klaipa Palace, where the members of the late Zetanon family have been buried here.After the crazy attack of the Zerg more than a month ago, many places here were destroyed, and now they have been repaired one after another. Under the embellishment of the first snow on Rama Star, it is wrapped in silver and restored to its former solemnity. At the same time, In this cold morning wind, it also showed a bit of depression.

Walking through the bluestone steps covered with thin snow, Lorgar walked away from the main cemetery along the path, and walked towards a remote place. Lorgar followed the servant silently, and the surrounding was very quiet, but he always had a feeling of being watched, as if the surrounding area There are countless pairs of invisible eyes watching his every move in the dark.

Walking straight to a slightly new cemetery, the servant respectfully asked Lorgar to stop and wait here, and walked into the cemetery to report.Behind the layers of branches, Emperor Kemis was sitting in a wheelchair, covered with a thick blanket, looking extremely weak, his cloudy eyes were staring at the tombstone in front of him, every breath seemed to exhaust his strength, In the low temperature, a cloud of white mist formed in front of him.Knowing that Lorgar was coming, the old emperor's eyes moved, and finally there was a little light in his eyes.

Lorgar walked into the cemetery and saluted Kemis, "Royal Father."

When he was a child, he hated this father, and it was because of him that he lost his mother.Until he regained the memory of his previous life, he had already seen all this indifferently after seeing all the infighting in the palace. At this time, facing the dying old man, Lorgar only felt sympathy in his heart.The so-called hero's twilight years are about to die. As a king who has lived for a lifetime, Lorgar understands the old emperor's current state of mind very well.

Kemisi asked the servants who followed him to retreat. In this quiet small cemetery, only their father and son remained, and there was an empty tomb with a tombstone.

"She's dead, right?" Kemis looked at the tombstone in silence for a long time before saying hoarsely.

Lorgar didn't react at first, but when he realized what the old emperor meant, he was startled.

"I saw her, right? Does she... still have human consciousness?"

At this moment, Lorgar's heart sank suddenly, and his fists couldn't help tightening.The old emperor asked, obviously, he already knew who the first generation mother of the Zerg was.In fact, Lorgar is not afraid of being known as his true identity, but he can't do it now, he still needs the throne.

Although he once gave up the throne, after a war between humans and insects, he has made great military achievements, and now the royal family is declining, and the descendants of the Alpha royal family are only him, Maynous, Dort and Lanka.All four of them have publicly announced their renunciation of the throne. Strictly speaking, none of them are qualified to inherit the throne. In this way, they may all inherit the throne.Among them, Dort is the archbishop, and it is impossible to enter the secular power system. His Royal Highness Maynooth can only see money. Lanka is trying to get a piece of rare mech material that can disappear for half a year, making people unable to find a trace The person... In this way, he has become the most likely heir to the throne.But once it is revealed that there is a biological mother of a Zerg mother body, this possibility will disappear in an instant.

In fact, Shen Xiuyun was wrong. His application to be stationed at the border did not mean that he would give up the throne. On the contrary, he had arranged everything just to win the throne, and he would retire when the time was right.Before they set off, the people of the Academy of Sciences had discovered a part of the Omega human gene code in the Zerg gene, and they could determine who this person was through calculations.Lorgar had already asked the people he had placed in the Academy of Sciences to tamper with the computer program, so that they would postpone the time to get the calculation results until the old emperor died of illness.But now His Majesty Kemis already knew, how did he know?And how should he respond?

For a moment, Lorgar's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking a lot. He was wondering which link went wrong and let Kemis hear the wind. At this moment, Kemis continued to say in his dry voice When he started talking, he kept staring at the tombstone. The name of Lorgar's mother was engraved on the tombstone. His eyes were a little blurred, as if he had fallen into a long memory.

"Your mother is the most famous Omega in the Meizuo base in that world. Her Omega bloodline is almost [-]% pure. This is a fatal attraction for any Alpha. Her bloodline is destined to become a member of the royal family." At that time, many princes wanted her, but...she only liked me, and I loved her deeply."

Lorgar couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. He always thought that his mother and Emperor Kemis were just forced and forced. It was a fantasy to say that his mother liked Kemis.

Emperor Kemisi said again: "Omega's status is not high, and non-noble people rarely get a guarantee of marriage. At that time, I promised her that once I inherit the throne, I will give her the title of queen. But at that time, there were many dangers. My brothers All of them will put me to death, I have to rely on a general, and that general has been infatuated with your mother for a long time, so I gave your mother... to him."

Lorgar only knew that his mother was marked before entering the palace, but he didn't know that there was such a passage, but when he heard that Emperor Kemis gave his beloved to his subjects in exchange for the throne, his lips twitched. Squeeze tightly, feeling cold in my heart.

"Until I successfully ascended the throne, my position was stable, and I tried every means to suppress that general, and finally found an excuse, executed him for treason, and then reintroduced your mother into the palace, but I didn't expect that your mother looked at me. Full of hate. I can't accept that he's in love with someone else, she's marked, she smells of someone else, it's too much for me... Lorgar, you know how painful it is? I, I can't stop it Alpha's desire to monopolize Omega, I can't stand the traces of other people's marks on her body... Such pheromones resist instinct, so I can't help beating her... Beating your mother... Your mother is because of me. On such a path, she hates me, hates all Alphas, her heart is full of hatred, she wants to take revenge on me... I killed her, killed so many people..."

When the old emperor Kemisi said this, tears fell from his cloudy old eyes, his voice was hoarse like a broken bellows, and he let out a painful cry.A pair of old hands covered his face tremblingly, tears wet the blanket on his body one by one, just such a person, like a child who did something wrong, curled up in the snow-covered cemetery, in the empty tomb of the loved one Confession before, but there is no meaning anymore.

The suppressed crying sound echoed over the cemetery, and the pure white snowflakes fell down, pure and flawless, as if the messenger sent by the gods to wash this world full of filth and mud.

At this moment, Lorgar finally spoke. He walked forward slowly, and handed Kemis a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, but his tone was very cold.

"Actually, you don't love your mother at all. You're just resentful of what you can't get."

Kemisi raised his head and looked back at his son with the most complicated emotions.

"Do you know what love is?"

"At least, I won't trade my beloved for power."

Kemis looked at Lorgar, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, with vicissitudes of life, helplessness, and bitterness.

"Lorgar, you are still too young to encounter real difficulties. You don't know what it means to be involuntary." Kemis said, he seemed very tired, he was emotionally agitated just now, and had exhausted his remaining physical strength , he leaned on the back of the wheelchair, snowflakes fell on his dry and gray hair, he took a last look at the tombstone in front of him, and then slowly closed his eyes, "In life, you will always do things that you regret It’s a matter of life. However, if you do it all over again, you can never guarantee that you will not make the same choice.”

"Lorgar, my son..." The old emperor Kemis let out a long sigh, slowly raised his hand, took out a document from his pocket, and handed it to Lorgar, "This is, this is my Finally, I can do for your mother. I hope you will be a good emperor. The glory of the Zetanon family is entrusted to you. You must take good care of me and guard this empire..."

After Kemis finished speaking, he was sent back to the bedroom by his servants and guards. He became critically ill that night, and called all the nobles into the palace, announcing Lorgar as the heir to the throne of the Star Empire.At two o'clock in the morning, the emperor came to the end of his life, and the whole country was in deep sorrow.

Just experienced the catastrophe of war, and now lost a country's monarch, the interstellar empire fell into a panic atmosphere for a while, and the wind and rain were precarious.In order to appease the hearts of the people, the parliament held an emergency meeting and decided that Lorgar would inherit the throne immediately, and the enthronement ceremony was scheduled for a week later.

Within a week, the emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the heavy snow on Rama planet turned the golden planet that was once spring-like all the year round into a frozen snow country, which seemed to announce the end of an era, and the beginning of another era. open.The government had to dispatch large-scale cleaning machines to work continuously to ensure that the counterparts in Klaipa Square and King's Road were prepared for the upcoming emperor's conferment ceremony.

However, before the ceremony came, the last king's decree issued by Emperor Kemis before his death was exposed. Before the new monarch ushered in, the peace of the empire was broken first.

The document that Kemis handed over to Lorgar in the cemetery that day was the signed king's decree.Its contents include two items: first, object to the ban on removing the Omega mark developed by Planet Omega.

Second, object to the ban on the development of pheromone inhibitors developed by Planet Omega.

The king does not have the right to bypass the parliament to legislate, but has a veto power, which is regarded as a restriction on the monarch's rights, and also retains the privilege of the Alpha aristocracy.

In fact, the two prohibitions opposed by the king's decree do not exist in fact. Although many people have heard that Omega Planet has developed these two technologies, the government simply does not have the energy to manage them because they are troubled by the Zerg War. These, but not in the past, does not mean in the future.However, Emperor Kemis used word games to occupy the land beforehand and opposed the two prohibitions in advance.In other words, he cannot guarantee the legality of the development of these two technologies, but he can guarantee that they will not be banned.

As soon as the news came out, the top government officials almost exploded, and even the people were heatedly discussing it.

People represented by the Progressive Party first raised strong objections, thinking that this is related to the fundamental interests of Alpha, and the Omega population is responsible for the task of multiplying human offspring. Once they are given the right to remove markers and pheromone signs, it means that nobles cannot If they are easily controlled, the excellent Alpha lineage will not be passed on, and the overall quality of human beings will decline. Once a situation like Zerg Wars occurs again, the consequences will be immeasurable.

Lorgar temporarily suppressed the opposition with his iron-blooded wrist, and he was very angry.He did not announce this king's decree, but someone released the news in advance and mixed the water in it, which made the public opinion develop to such an uncontrollable level.In fact, it is not only the leakage of the king's decree, there are many other things that have come up recently, all of which have caused trouble for Lorgar, causing him to burn out.

But until the night before the succession ceremony of the throne, Lorgar suddenly learned from the Academy of Sciences that Shen Xiuyun's identity had been leaked, and someone was secretly preparing to reveal his identity as the second-generation Zerg mother to the public tomorrow!

When Lorgar saw the secret report, his fingers trembled with anger, and he almost kicked over the table.

Who the hell wants to deal with them! !He has been secretly investigating these days. At first, he suspected that it was the ghost of Dort's party, but after summarizing the suspicious candidates who were unfavorable to him, he found that these people were placed in almost every corner of the empire, making it impossible for people to identify who belonged to them. What party and faction, who is instigated by who!They include members of the Progressive Party, members of the Peace Party, and neutrals; there are aristocrats, middle-class people, and traffickers; there are Alpha, Beta, and Omega...

Also, the death of Abigail has always been a knot in Lorgar's heart.His eldest sister, the most outstanding female Alpha in the empire, was once a legend of the Imperial Command Academy. She would die in battle at the human army headquarters on Planet Rama, on the land she was familiar with!He absolutely didn't believe that Abigail would miss it by himself, but after investigating, he couldn't find any clues.

In the quiet night, the sparks outside the window looked peaceful and peaceful, but Lorgar clearly felt that a hideous and invisible giant net was falling from the sky, slowly tightening, making it impossible for people to escape.They were all prey in the net, but the person who was watching coldly by the side never showed up.

Lorgar looked at the secret report from the Academy of Sciences, punched the desk case, and then opened another secret document, but couldn't help but froze on the spot.He looked at the secret letter over and over in disbelief, and finally, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and an expression between shock, ecstasy, and disbelief appeared on his face.

The next day, the emperor's coronation ceremony.

This is the first grand ceremony after the war. Almost all the subjects gathered in front of the TV early on this day. The residents of Rama planet, if conditions permit, gathered on both sides of the King's Road, from Klaipa Palace to Klaipa Palace. The golden statue of ABO in Pa Square was completely blocked.

Together with the emperor's coronation today, there is also the commissioning ceremony of the imperial commander, so Shen Xiuyun also followed Lorgar's coronation team, sitting in a semi-open aircraft, accompanied by the sound of bugles and ceremonial bands, from Klaipa Get out of the gate of the imperial palace and drive along the King's Road to the altar in the square, receiving the attention and worship of the imperial people on both sides of the road.

"Long live the Seventh Prince! Long live General Shen Xiuyun!"

Such cheers came and went, and Shen Xiuyun watched them silently, but his eyes couldn't help falling to the three golden statues in Klaipa Square in the distance.
