Get down on your knees, useless Alpha

The recent empire is not stable, and there is a tendency of storms to come.

First, the eldest son of the empire, Aaron, died for unknown reasons. The emperor Lian Xi was furious. Charles, the eldest son of the chancellor of the exchequer who was engaged to Aaron before, was questioned. Although the investigation revealed that Aaron’s death had nothing to do with Charles, the panicked The Chancellor sent Charles away immediately.

The prime minister's only son, Mendes, who had a good relationship with Charles, was kept at home by the prime minister because he wanted to help his friend.

Forget it, what happened later is still really shocking.

Imperial Marshal Lian Yi actually had a deal with Federal Marshal Lemonks. The specifics are unclear, but Federal Marshal Lemonks has already been imprisoned for "treason".But Lian Yi, Marshal of the Empire, did not make any movement. It is said that the furious Emperor Lian Xi had already smashed things many times, and even asked Lian Yi, Marshal of the Empire, to go to him immediately.As a result, Lian Yi, Marshal of the Empire, pretended not to know, and stayed at his home, no matter how angry Lian Xi was, he refused to see Lian Xi.

It's going to change.

Anyone with a little brain thinks so.

Countless people were waiting to see Lian Yi, Marshal of the Empire, be dismissed and imprisoned by Emperor Lian Xi. Unfortunately, it was not as they had hoped. No matter how angry Lian Xi was, he had no intention of dismissing Lian Yi from his position.

"His Majesty the Emperor requires communication." Mecha Pandora said to Lian Yi.

Lian Yi sat in the study, looking at the paper book in his hand, without looking up: "Closed it, don't remind me again."

Pandora also stopped talking.

Today's weather is fine, the curtains are pulled open, the sun shines in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the whole room, even if the lights are not turned on, Lian Yi can still read the words on the book clearly.

Someone knocked on the door outside the study three times, the knocking sound was very soft, as if afraid of disturbing Lian Yi, it was Lian Yi's housekeeper: "Marshal, the lunch is ready, do you need me to serve it now?"

Lian Yi has been in a bad mood for the past few days, because the housekeeper who has worked here for decades is extremely cautious, for fear of offending Lian Yi.

"Bring it up! Put it in my room, I'll go there later." Lian Yi put down the book in his hand and said.

Then there was no sound outside the door, probably to go to lunch.

Lian Yi put the book in his hand back, stood up again, stood by the French window, looked at the scene outside, there were no houses nearby, it was like a place specially marked out, because no one had the guts to live in Lian Yi Yi's house next to, also created such a somewhat strange scene.

The twelve o'clock bell had already struck, and today was the funeral of the great prince of the empire, Aaron, but no body was found, so an empty coffin had to be buried.

In an hour or so, the funeral will officially begin.

Lian Yi looked outside silently, and finally left the study and walked to another room, where today's lunch was already set up, with two sets of knives and forks, and two sets of lunch.

The housekeeper was sent by Lian Xi to take care of Lian Yi, which meant that Lian Xi knew that Rabelais was here with Lian Yi, but he didn't say anything.

Rabelais is already sitting on a chair, waiting for Lian Yi.

Lian Yi sat on another chair and began to eat, but seemed a little distracted.

Rabelais didn't say a word, he just ate in silence, because of Lemonks' matter, he couldn't return to the federation, so he could only stay here with Lian Yi temporarily, and he also knew that he must not leave here now, Because apart from Lian Yi's place, there is no other place that can accommodate him.

It's just that today's Lian Yi seems to be a bit wrong.

Rabelais took a look at Lian Yi. He thought that Lian Yi was just a person who loves to kill. He only felt it after spending a few days with Lian Yi. is a person.

Just like in the past few days, Rabelais has never seen Lian Yi laugh at all, and he is completely dull.

"You don't need to go to today's funeral?" Rabelais said, although this sentence was a bit too much for him, he couldn't help but speak.

Lian Yi paused for a moment, fell silent for a moment, and then nodded: "That's right, I'll leave later."

Rabelais: "..."

This person is not just looking for a reason for himself to attend the funeral!

But Lian Yi didn't answer the question in Rabelais' mind, and left after lunch without even changing a piece of clothes, but speaking of it, Lian Yi wears all kinds of black clothes all year round, and he can go to the funeral at any time , no need to change at all.

It's just... Rabelais is standing by the window, the position is just so that people outside can't see him, but he can see the outside.

However, when will this temporary peace come to an end?

The weather was fine today, and the bright sunlight fell into the room from the edge of the slightly drawn curtains, drawing a clear line on the ground.

Lian Xi stood by the window, silent, as if thinking about something.

A few minutes later, the door of his room was opened directly.

There were two people who had the guts to walk into the room without knocking. One was his eldest son Aaron, but he was already dead, and the other was his younger brother, Imperial Marshal Lian Yi.

"I've called you so many times, and you're finally here?" Lian Xi woke up from his contemplation, turned slightly sideways, and looked at Lian Yi.

Lian Yi didn't speak immediately, but took a few steps towards Lian Xi's direction, and then stopped, just standing on the other side of the light.

Both figures stand in the shadows, with a line drawn by sunlight between them.

They were silent together, and neither of them wanted to speak first, as if they knew that speaking would break the precarious balance.

"I'm just here to attend today's funeral, Your Majesty." In the end, Lian Yi spoke first, his voice seemed a little tired, but his expressionless face made it hard to tell.

Lian Yi would call Lian Xi "Your Majesty" on formal occasions, but when the two of them were alone together, Lian Yi usually called Lian Xi "Brother".But now, the two are standing in the room, and Lian Yi's address is "Your Majesty".

"You should go back to the army first. This place is not suitable for you now. It just so happens that the front line is not stable at this time. After Adolf became the federal marshal, he has been constantly moving." Lian Xi said calmly.

"So, before I leave, I have one more question to ask you. Did you let them take Aaron away?" Lian Yi asked. His main purpose of coming here was not to attend Aaron's funeral, but Ask Lian Xi.

Lian Xi also looked at Lian Yi calmly, without saying a word, he knew that what he said was meaningless.

"This is a deal. They have never been satisfied with a war god Ares who does not obey orders. They have always wanted to create another war god Ares, but all experiments have failed, so they... ..." When Lian Yi said this, he paused imperceptibly, and quickly continued, "I want to use Aaron as a test subject."

"And you agreed with them." Lian Yi said, "I thought you would let Alan go because of me, but you still handed him over for those weapons."

"Lian Yi," Lian Xi finally spoke, but he didn't mention Aaron's death, "Even so, there are some things you shouldn't do."

"You chose to use him to make a deal, even though you knew he would die." Lian Yi looked up at Lian Xi, the accusation in his eyes made Lian Xi almost want to look away, but he didn't do that, he just said calmly He and Lian Yi looked at each other.

Then there was another long silence, the two faced each other, they were close brothers in the past, Lian Yi used bloody massacres to stabilize Lian Xi's throne, and Lian Xi protected all Lian Yi's mistakes.But now, they stood on both sides of the line drawn by the light, and no one took a step forward.

Music began to sound, faintly transmitted into the room.

"The funeral has begun." Lian Xi said so.

Lian Yi turned around to leave, but when he opened the door, he stopped suddenly, turned his back to Lian Xi and asked, "If it's not Aaron but me, would you agree to this deal?"

Lian Xi was silent for a moment, and before he could answer, Lian Yi had already closed the door and left.

The funeral has begun.

Because of the special nature of the funeral, not many people attended, only a few members of the royal family and a few important ministers.

Lian Yi, who usually stood beside Lian Xi, stood far away from Lian Xi uncharacteristically this time.

The participants watched the expressions of Lian Xi and Lian Yi calmly, and judged what actions they should take. After all, if you stand on the wrong team once, you may never use the wrong team again.

But the two at the center are a little absent-minded.

Finally, the empty coffin was slowly put into the soil. Whether it was true or not, all the people present showed more or less mournful expressions.

Lian Yi suddenly remembered the sentence in the book he read before, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, let the dead be at peace, and the living be liberated."

May you rest in peace.

Lian Yi lowered his head slightly and closed his eyes.

The author has something to say: Is this considered emotional progress?

Let’s wait for Saturday for the next chapter update, the first small* is coming (>﹏<), and we need to think about it

Also, the phrase ashes to ashes is from the Bible.
