The moment the mermaid's cold lips touched Lu Yunwan's fingers, it seemed that countless weak currents flowed through his fingertips.

He subconsciously wanted to retract his hand, but before he could use any force, he realized that his fingers were being tightly held by Chu Xuanzhou.

Lu Yun's heart beat like a drum.

Chu Xuanzhou's aura enveloped him, and Lu Yunwan finally woke up at this moment:

How can the regent not adapt to these? !

Lu Yunwan had clearly felt that Chu Xuanzhou was no longer as simple and foolish as before.

I have to gather 12 energy to deal with him.

After pausing for a few seconds, Lu Yunwan slowly shook Chu Xuanzhou's hand back.

He lowered his eyes and smiled and didn't turn his head back. Instead, he gently circled the back of Chu Xuanzhou's hand with his other hand.

Lu Yunwan's movements were neither fast nor slow, but wherever he touched, there was a burst of numbness.

And from here to Chu Xuanzhou's limbs and bones.

When Chu Xuanzhou heard it, Lu Yunwan whispered to himself in a hoarse but extremely cheerful tone: "Your Highness, we are accomplices if we are stained with the same blood."

Lu Yunwan's voice was extremely soft, like a brush brushing past his heart.

Chu Xuanzhou discovered that he liked the word "accomplice".

……

In the past few decades, this huge empire was controlled by the Queen Mother.

She is a born statesman, even for her own children and grandchildren, she is always vigilant.

The short period of more than a year after the Queen Mother's death is not enough for anyone to cultivate their own power.

Therefore, from the perspective of "handling competitors", the difficulties Chu Xuanzhou faced were smaller than those in the original book.

As a puppet emperor, Chu Zhang's death didn't even cause any chaos in the empire.

It took only a short week for Chu Xuanzhou to successfully take the power into his own hands.

-

Half a month later, the capital of the empire star.

Chu Zhang's coffin was carried out of the palace, and sank into the final resting place of the royal family under the endless abyss.

The Azure Crown of the Mermaid Empire will find its new owner today.

A huge black starship hangs above Capital Star, and a dark red poppy is blooming wantonly at the bottom of the starship.

Lu Yunwan stood in front of the mirror and raised his arms slightly.

The blond human standing behind him carefully picked up a thick black cloak and tied it around Lu Yunwan's shoulders.

This cloak is studded with gemstones of various colors, looking from a distance it looks like a river of stars falling to the skirt.

Aitwen stepped back, while Lu Yunwan turned around and took out a crown from the side cushion.

——This is a dark golden crown, composed of countless poppy branches, leaves and petals.

It looks complicated and heavy, and it is the second symbol of the regent's power besides the cane.

This crown looks a little too gorgeous, but when it is worn on Lu Yunwan's head, it doesn't take away the owner's elegance at all.

On the contrary, it also made Lu Yunwan's facial features more vivid and flamboyant.

Lu Yunwan was like a sharp knife out of its sheath, nothing could suppress his aggressive aura.

After changing his clothes, the regent glanced at himself in the mirror lightly, then turned around and left here with a flat face.

The moment the hatch opened, all the guards in uniforms in the corridor knelt down on one knee.

They put their hands to their hearts devoutly, waiting for Lu Yunwan to go to another legend.

——Everyone in StarCraft knows that Lu Yunwan and Chu Xuanzhou have a very close relationship, and that the Ninth Prince has made it to where he is today, thanks to the support and training of the Regent.

They are a community of interests.

After Chu Xuanzhou became the real ruler of the empire, Lu Yunwan's power only increased.

Only Aitwin, who is a confidant, couldn't help raising his eyes at this moment, secretly looking at Lu Yunwan.

There are still a few hours before the succession ceremony officially begins, Lu Yunwan is not in a hurry to leave the starship.

At the moment when everyone knelt down on one knee and saluted him, Lu Yunwan's gaze fell out of the window.

Etwin sees:

As usual, there was still a faint smile on Lu Yunwan's lips.

But today, his smile seemed extraordinarily simple and gentle.

Lu Yunwan was simply admiring the beauty of the interstellar space, rather than taking this opportunity to think about any issues.

It's like the big stone in my heart has fallen to the ground, and my soul has become relaxed.

"Lord Regent..." Aitwin's mood became tense, he subconsciously stopped Lu Yunwan, and he realized that he should not be so presumptuous after speaking.

"What's wrong?" Unexpectedly, Lu Yunwan was not angry, he just looked at himself with a little curiosity.

The look in this moment reminded Aitwen of Lu Yunwan, who was not the regent back then...

He subconsciously said: "I, I suddenly remembered the time when I first entered the Yanwei Legion."

After a pause for a few seconds, Aitwin seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate, and he suddenly saluted Lu Yunwan again: "Sorry, Lord Regent."

"It's okay," Lu Yunwan paused, and said with a smile as if remembering something, "You should pay more attention to the Yanwei Legion in the future."

"Yes, my lord."

On the surface, Lu Yunwan's words sounded like nothing, but actually inadvertently deepened the fear in Aitwen's heart.

As a confidant of the Prince Regent, he has always known that Lu Yunwan does not love power as much as in the interstellar legends.

At the dinner party after he was promoted to lieutenant general, most of the dignitaries from all over the world came, and Lu Yunwan rarely got drunk that day.

……

"Aitwin, do you think I look like I'm greedy for power?" Lu Yunwan asked him while leaning on the pillar with a smile while holding ice wine.

Aitwin didn't quite understand what Lu Yunwan meant, but he knew that "greed for power and power" is not a compliment.

Just when he was struggling with how to answer, Lu Yunwan laughed out loud: "You think so too, right?"

"I don't like it, I don't believe it myself. But my intention is really not like this."

If Aitwin remembers correctly, since becoming a major general, Lu Yunwan's words have gradually decreased, and his personality has also become strange.

If it wasn't for this night, he would have almost forgotten what Lu Yunwan was like before.

Lu Yunwan took a sip of ice wine, and said in a rambling manner: "I must own this thing to do something very important."

Eitwin nodded slightly after hearing this.

Then, Lu Yunwan's voice suddenly became quieter, and he said as if talking to himself: "When it's over, you can love whoever you are."

This sentence is not at all in the style of the regent, and Lu Yunwan couldn't help laughing when he said it.

It was one of those rare moments of his age.

The guard in the corridor stood up, and Aitwin's thoughts were also broken here.

Looking at Lu Yunwan's back, Aitwin suddenly wanted to ask him—is this the "end" that Lord Regent said?

-

Outside the Palace of Eternal Stars in the capital, countless media outlets are already on standby.

The huge bell sunk in the deepest part of the trench slowly rang, and the succession ceremony belonging to Chu Xuanzhou began.

Unlike the celebration that was interrupted not long ago, the succession ceremony was solemn and solemn, and everything came according to the arrangement.

Accompanied by the music, the nobles of the empire entered the venue one by one.

Lu Yunwan, who was still waiting on the starship, saw many familiar faces through the star network——

Officials from various departments of the empire, Shi Jiayue and even Pei Zhao'an also came.

He appeared in the Palace of Eternity with a calm demeanor. As a representative of the imperial aristocratic forces, Pei Zhao'an didn't care who was the emperor. He only cared about whether the interests and glory of the Pei family and the nobles could continue to be maintained.

Compared to Chu Xuanzhou, Lu Yunwan was the enemy he really cared about.

After the last nobleman entered the Hall of Eternity, hymns rang out in the huge circular building.

The ancient dead words are floating on this planet again, like a sea monster summoning the younger generation to keep up with their pace with glory.

At this time, the starship Lu Yunwan was riding on finally landed slowly.

Holding his cane, he walked into the Hall of Eternity stepping on the stars flowing on the ground.

According to the laws of the empire, Lu Yunwan, who is the regent, will crown Chu Xuanzhou today.

Wherever he passed, everyone bowed slightly.

Including Pei Zhao'an.

Lu Yunwan's pace was unhurried, and the moment the last note of the hymn dissipated in his ears, his footsteps also landed at the end of the Hall of Eternity.

The Regent gently lowered his cane and removed a crown from the nebula hanging beside him.

Although there was no rehearsal, Lu Yunwan's movements were still so elegant.

When everyone lowered their heads and waited for the next link, Lu Yunwan couldn't help lowering his eyes to the things in his hands.

It turns out that this is the crown that symbolizes the supreme power of the empire.

I seem to be the first human being to meet him?

Just when Lu Yunwan was thinking about these things, the singing sounded again.

The ice-blue door behind Lu Yunwan slowly opened. It was the highest point of the entire hall, and behind it was the endless universe.

Accompanied by the hymn, Chu Xuanzhou finally appeared in front of Lu Yunwan.

The platinum intertwined dress that mopped the floor was also studded with stars. Chu Xuanzhou's dazzling silver hair was scattered behind his head. Standing not far away, he looked straight at Lu Xuanzhou as if he hadn't seen the nobles around him who were saluting to him. Yun Wan walked over.

Perhaps it was because Lu Yunwan was not a native of this world in the first place, and he didn't have much awe for this superficially sacred succession ceremony.

At the moment when Chu Xuanzhou walked towards Lu Yunwan, the regent suddenly had a slightly inappropriate idea——

Why does this scene look more and more like a wedding?

Bah, bah, bah, don't think about it!

The succession ceremony of the empire is grand but not cumbersome.

Chu Xuanzhou, dressed in fine clothes, came over and sat gently on the dark blue throne.

Like the thing that stored the crown just now, this throne is also made by imitating various cosmic substances.

Below it is a miniature ocean, and above it are stars condensed into one.

Lu Yunwan stepped forward at this time, and he smiled slightly at Chu Xuanzhou and said, "The glory of the empire will always be in your hands."

-

A heavy book with a dark blue cover was lifted up by Xing Yun.

Lu Yunwan gently held it in his hand, then opened the first page of the book, and used the ancient mermaid language to guide Chu Xuanzhou to make an oath.

Just like the Latin language in the world that Lu Yunwan once lived in, the mermaid language has also been dead for a long time.

Except for this ancient book, nowhere is it still in use.

Before attending the succession ceremony, it took Lu Yunwan several days to write it down one by one.

Like Lu Yunwan, Chu Xuanzhou only roughly learned these characters before the succession ceremony.

"Are you willing to solemnly promise to protect the glory of the empire and the royal family with your life?"

"I promise." Chu Xuanzhou looked into Lu Yunwan's eyes and said.

Then repeat the following oath.

Lu Yunwan smiled, and he turned the book to the second page.

Only he saw that the index finger hidden under the white glove trembled because of Chu Xuanzhou's glance.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Lu Yunwan felt... Sitting on the throne, Chu Xuanzhou had "ambition" written on his face.

"Will you solemnly pledge to uphold the laws and creeds of the Empire forever?" he continued.

"I promise."

……

There are more than a dozen entries in the book.

Lu Yunwan read it one by one according to what was written in the book.

Until the last one, he suddenly paused: "Are you willing to solemnly promise to fight for the interests of mermaids and human beings forever?"

After saying this, Lu Yunwan suddenly became nervous.

He silently clenched the pages of the book in his hand, waiting for Chu Xuanzhou's answer.

Although Lu Yunwan doesn't know this dead language, he has memorized so many contents, and at least he has memorized the usage of some simple words.

The sentence just now was not what was written in the book... it was blurted out by Lu Yunwan.

The original sentence in the book should be: Are you willing to solemnly promise to fight for the interests of mermaids forever?

Lu Yunwan added a "human" at the back.

He accidentally spoke his mind.

...don't find out don't find out!

While pretending to be relaxed and casual, Lu Yunwan prayed silently in his heart.

I don't know if he really didn't understand this sentence, Chu Xuanzhou didn't pause, but went through the following process very smoothly just like before.

With the end of the last oath, Lu Yunwan let out a long sigh of relief, and slowly bent down towards Chu Xuanzhou.

But at the moment when he was about to bow, an unexpected sentence suddenly came out of Chu Xuanzhou's mouth.

Chu Xuanzhou suddenly leaned over in front of Quan Xingji, and whispered in Lu Yunwan's ear: "Master Regent, are you willing to promise to stay by Chu Xuanzhou's side forever?"

The boy's voice was low and hoarse.

His tone was still so cautious, as if he was afraid that Lu Yunwan would "abandon" himself.

The ancient mermaid language has been dead for thousands of years. At this time, only Lu Yunwan in the entire galaxy can understand what he is talking about.

Chu Xuanzhou just stared at Lu Yunwan, waiting for his answer.

The succession ceremony was suspended, and everyone was waiting for Lu Yunwan's answer.
