Dawn Sleep

The fall of Elborn brought the shadow of destruction to the top of the empire.

No one in the Star City of Eternal Paradise dared to take this as a joke.

The nobles were afraid of the rebel army, just like they were afraid of the demons crawling out of the abyss—especially after the fall of Watson Star City, countless nobles were punished for their crimes and sentenced to death.Killing one as an example to others is nothing more than that.

Emperor Andrew Odin's spirit became more and more abnormal.

Over the years, the emperor often yelled madly in the middle of the night, or climbed in front of the portrait of Odin I, crying like a child.

"My empire... will last forever! Hahaha, forever!! Hahahaha... woo woo woo... woo ah ah..."

When the emperor woke up the next day, all the attendants who saw his ugly appearance would be executed again.

Whether it is day or night, the red-haired and blue-eyed tyrant Odin I always stays silent in the frame with a cold attitude, watching the sun of the Holy Human Empire fall to the west.

In the 62nd year of the old imperial calendar, the decisive battle began.

The starship of the rebel army is about to fly away from the sub-galaxy, and will face off against the last elite of the empire in the purple silk space.

This time, the emperor suppressed all the troops like crazy, and the rebel army had no way out.

Ruosheng, the purple silk is in the palm of his hand, and it will not be a problem to go straight to the imperial capital Yongyuan.

If they lose, they will have to retreat to the sub-galaxy, which may lead to the fall of the newly captured Alborn, or even the result of the failure of the uprising.

"Our strength has been exhausted."

Jiang Jianming said softly. He was lying on his back in the treatment cabin, and the oxygen mask covering his face distorted his voice.

He closed his eyes slightly, gasped for a while with his pale lips open, and then continued: "...some external force is needed."

It was raining as thin as stitches outside the window.Alborne has had an exceptionally mild rainy season this year.

Mechanics and small starships speed past vaguely among the clouds.That was the army making its final preparations.

Ryan reached out to help Jiang Jianming raise the built-in bed in the treatment cabin a bit, allowing his upper body to be lifted slightly so that he could breathe more smoothly.

"Yu Pirates, or Glory Leader?"

Jiang Jianming shook his head gently: "Yu Pirates can't do it, they are too...cough..."

He didn't have the strength to speak anymore, his brows were furrowed, and he could only make low panting sounds.When he exhaled, his thin chest cavity sank, and even the raised ribs could be seen faintly.

Ryan's face darkened, and he stretched out his hand to rub his heart: "I know, needless to say, you should catch your breath first."

The organ was tired and weak, and it just hit the broad palm like this.

The corners of Ryan's eyes twitched weakly, and he could feel Jiang Jianming's heart beating under his palm, as if he might be exhausted at any time.

...Since getting Sylph's help, Jiang Jianming's condition has improved for a while.However, at the beginning of this year, he fell into a deep coma without warning and stayed in the emergency room for a week before waking up, and then his condition began to get worse and worse.

Now he is too weak to be off life support for long, spends more time lying in bed than standing up, and is unable to personally lead the troops on the front line.

Except for a few familiar and reliable doctors, no one knows the real race and disease of the commander.

Everyone saw that the number of times the commander led the army was getting less and less, only Aslan's meritorious service was the master, His Majesty Keos deliberately suppressed his arrogance, and they couldn't help discussing in private.

But there are some things that only Jiang Jianming, Kaios, and Lin Ge know clearly.

For example, if the purple silk cannot be won this time, the commander of the rebel army may not be able to wait for the next opportunity for a strategic decisive battle.

The patter of rain outside.Jiang Jianming slowed down for a long time in a daze, his breath gradually stabilized, and he seemed to be about to fall asleep with his eyes closed.

But only ten minutes later, he suddenly woke up with convulsions in his limbs. He was panting again, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.

Ryan suddenly opened the door of the treatment cabin, hugged the disabled human being into his arms and patted him, "Sedatives? I'll give you..."

"No, it's fine."

On the contrary, Jiang Jianming's sanity became much clearer, and he blamed: "I almost fell asleep halfway through the speech, and His Majesty didn't call me... I really don't need to look for medicine, just pour me a glass of water."

Ryan's eyes were dim, and when he stood up to pour water, he accidentally knocked over a glass.He felt that he was going to have a nervous breakdown, maybe he should be given the sedative.

Ryan took a deep breath, and suddenly his eyes stopped on the vase next to the bookcase.

There were five or six golden roses planted there, glowing charmingly under the lamp.

This is a genetically modified variety artificially developed by the Academy of Sciences to commemorate the Uprising of the Blue Mother Planet. It is very fragrant and undefeated in all seasons.He sent Jiang Jianming a big handful a few days ago, but he didn't really take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, the commander, who was so sick, had leisure, so he cut a few branches and put them in a vase. He seemed to like it very much.

Lean took a flower in his hand and returned to the treatment cabin.

He handed the water glass and the rose to Jiang Jianming: "After overthrowing Odin's empire, the golden rose will be used as the national flower of the new empire. What do you think?"

Jiang Jianming was surprised at first, and then smiled with warm black eyes.

He lowered his head and sniffed, pretending to smell the fragrance of flowers, "Okay, it's very meaningful, so let's plant a lot in front of the new palace."

Ryan: "Okay."

There was a glimmer of light in Jiang Jianming's eyes: "By the way, after the situation in the new empire stabilizes... Your Majesty should build a school in the capital, Star City, so that the poor and handicapped can receive education."

"it is good."

"Next to the school, can there be another library?"

"it is good."

Jiang Jianming laughed again: "What's the matter, I digressed."

"Where did you just say... Oh, is Your Majesty thinking, why should the Glorious Land help us?"

Ryan thought to himself: Wrong, I was thinking about how to keep you longer, until the day when the new empire is full of golden flowers and schools and libraries are built.

Of course, if you say this, you will be scolded by the commander.So without showing it on his face, he said, "I'll send someone to talk to you first."

It's hard to talk about, he knows.

The Glorious Territory has always criticized the interstellar monarchy, hoping to follow the path of democracy and republic that prevailed in the late stage of the old Blue Mother Planet.Although there was a period of cooperation with the rebel army, they were not all the same after all.

If Eternal Paradise is captured by the rebels, the Glorious Land will have to worry about whether the New Empire is an enemy or a friend.At this time, I took the initiative to seek support, but the result is hard to say.

"If negotiations fail..."

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyes, "I want to disclose my life experience."

"Or, you come to disclose my life experience, and then negotiate again."

When he said this lightly, Ryan was still thinking about other things, so when he came back to his senses, he almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"What did you say?"

"I am Helga's only son. Back then, Baige Chiye would owe us a lot, and they have been looking for me all these years."

Jiang Jianming pinched the golden rose in his hand and said calmly: "Although this method is not honorable, your Majesty, you can exchange me for many things."

This can be regarded as the hole that Guangrong led himself to dig for himself, Jiang Jianming thought to himself.

Who told them to keep promoting Helga's deeds and spirit, openly looking for the disabled human child who disappeared, and claiming to take him home at any cost.

It's hard to say how much of it is sincere and how much is for show.After all, according to normal logic, the possibility of disabled human children surviving in the wild is extremely small.

If I hadn't met Ryan, I would have...

Suddenly, Jiang Jianming's face was lifted up abruptly.

"Did you not wake up, or are you sick and confused?"

There was obvious anger on Ryan's face.Years of fighting gave the future new emperor a sense of oppression: "Are you going to reveal your race!?"

Jiang Jianming: "Yes, I'm sure."

Ryan laughed back angrily: "What happens after it's made public?"

How can there be anything then.

If it was made public a few years ago, the commander-in-chief can still press the new humans who have opinions one by one in front of the simulated confrontation machine, don't you agree?OK, let's have a game.

But not anymore.Dawn Aslan has deceived the rebel army and the people for so many years, wearing wristbands or gloves, mysteriously hiding his true face.

But when everything was confessed, he was just a handicapped human being who couldn't even get out of bed...sick and broken.

Weak, weak, and sickly, he had to rely on the protection of His Majesty Kaios—yes, a powerful new human—to live.

It is exactly the same as the disabled human beings in the stereotype.

Such a gap is not acceptable to the public.

Baige Chiye would be "morally kidnapped" for a while, and it would be impossible to treat him sincerely.

It is more likely that he, the former commander, was used as some kind of political tool to blackmail or use the current rebel army and the future new empire.

Ryan stood up abruptly, his gloomy face was submerged in the darkness, and the ice-green eyes were faintly visible, "Have you ever thought about what you should do like this?"

Jiang Jianming: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if I go to the Glorious Territory, I am confident that I won't drag the overall situation down."

Ryan's forehead was throbbing with blue veins: "Don't pretend to me! You know what I mean in your heart!"

Jiang Jianming said lightly: "You are Your Majesty, what should I do now should be considered."

A trace of rage flashed across Ryan's eyes, and he clenched his fingers tightly, as if he wanted to make a move, but he couldn't.

In the end, only the golden rose in the patient's hand was pierced by Zhenjing.

Flowers are scattered in the treatment cabin.Jiang Jianming sighed: "It's useless for you to lose your temper. I really have to compromise a little this time. I will try my best to deal with it, so..."

Suddenly, Ryan took a step back: "Shut up."

He used an imperative tone.

"Aslan."

Kaios' voice became cold and erratic, "You haven't called my name for a long time."

Jiang Jianming was taken aback.

Kaios' face was cold, but his eyes were slightly bloodshot, "I don't understand one thing."

"Why do you call me Your Majesty, and still dare to discipline me like this?"

Jiang Jianming remained silent, with a bit of sadness in his expression.

Ryan turned around and walked out. Halfway through, he slammed the crystal bone, smashed the vase with the golden rose on the ground, and slammed the door without looking back.

It was night, and there was a strong wind.

In the early hours of the morning, Jiang Jianming was awakened by the sudden approaching breath.

Before he realized what was going on, a strong force supported his back, half-dragging and half-embracing him——

Jiang Jianming called out subconsciously: "Lai... Your Majesty!?"

The darkened room had no lights on.Ryan kept panting, staring fixedly at the wind and rain outside the window, while his arms clasped Jiang Jianming's thin body tightly in his arms.

Regardless of the screams and struggles of the disabled, he rubbed the tip of his nose against the other's forehead, rubbed his lips against the other's neck, and even bit the shoulder under the thin pajamas with his teeth.

He obviously lost control of his emotions, as if he would die of hunger and thirst if he didn't do anything else; but he restrained himself almost cruelly, not doing the thing he most desired.

He doesn't kiss him.

"Aslan." The scorching breath trembled against Jiang Jianming's pale ears.Ryan closed his eyes and said hoarsely, "I'll ask you one last time, do you want to?"

Jiang Jianming vaguely realized something.

In the darkness, his eyebrows and eyes were relieved, he put his arm around Ryan's broad back, patted it lightly, and asked comfortingly: "What do you mean?"

"Shh, you know...you know."

Ryan shook his head, and the platinum-blond hair brushed against Jiang Jianming's cheek.

The voice of the young Jagged King was trembling at this moment, "Aslan, I love you. But this is the last time. If you don't agree, I will never say it again."

"Tell me the answer, would you like to?"

Jiang Jianming held his breath and opened his eyes silently.

Over the years, he had heard too many love proposals from Ryan.

He knew best how arrogant this person was, but only in this matter, he actually showed a bit of a brazen attitude.

I don't know when Jiang Jianming got used to it.There was even an illusion: maybe until he was about to die, his little Highness was still asking stubbornly, now, can I love you now?

But, yeah, it turns out that this is...

Last time.

The sound of the wind brings memories from afar.It all belonged to the wild area on the blue mother planet, and that night, he stretched out his arms and picked up a young child from under the burning wreckage of the starship.

Jiang Jianming raised his clear black eyes, "Your Majesty wants to make it clear, you want to ask me," his voice was as soft as a feather falling, "Is there anything I would like?"

Ryan: "Be my queen."

The tone was as firm as ever.

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyes and smiled. The night covered up the tenderness and sadness in his eyes. He whispered, "...Thank you."

Love me for such a person, for so many years.

Ryan understood.

The tacit understanding between them no longer needs to say more.

"it is good."

So the young king slowly let go of his arms, only his reluctant eyes still lingered on Jiang Jianming's brows, "Then I will tell you some good news."

"The Glorious Collar is willing to cooperate with us. In other words, it means joining the rebel army."

"One of the conditions is... marriage."

"Commander, I'm going to marry someone else to be my queen."
