It was late at night in Canterbury, the capital of the empire. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the former Duke of Hillen, and now the new Emperor Abt? Gatler still did not go to bed, but changed into a looser royal robe and sat upright on the throne. Of course, this throne is not the one used to meet the golden splendor of the courtiers. It is woven from the rhizomes of thousands of years of space pine, and its thick and shiny roots are intertwined with each other, which is very historical.

It is said that this throne is very comfortable, and even if the roots leave the mother body for decades or hundreds of years, there is still warm juice flowing in it. But others say that sitting on it is like being trapped by the roots of a tree, which makes it impossible to breathe. But at present, neither father nor son has bothered with this problem. Evan just greeted his father politely and asked him to take a break, while his father just hummed nonchalantly, and the greeting was over.

"How's the investigation going on with the illegal starship?" Abt asked Evan.

Evan succinctly briefed the Emperor on his progress. “…… Some are blocked. The other party is very well-informed. Also, we encountered the Zerg in the energy field. ”

In the end, this news really made the emperor frown.

"You do it boldly, and don't be afraid just because you're in the Commonwealth. The support you need, I'll give it to you. The emperor said, "The Zerg has appeared." Be careful and pay attention to your personal safety. ”

Evan bowed, thanking the Emperor for his support and concern.

The figure in the hologram finally smiled slightly. "Let's endure the humiliation to this day, and we can finally raise our eyebrows. Just let it go. Let this be your first achievement after being promoted to Prince of Brescia. ”

Ivan bowed again and replied yes.

The Emperor nodded with great satisfaction, his eyes full of satisfaction with the man in front of him.

However, there is only satisfaction.

And for Ivan's almost indifferent calm, the emperor was like he didn't see it. Or his eyes see, but his heart does not.

"You summoned me late at night, I'm afraid it's not as simple as keeping an eye on my progress." Evan asked.

The Emperor shifted from his austere throne to a more comfortable position. "Definitely. I want to ask you what happened to the daughter of the Aining family. ”

It's so well informed.

Ivan thought and pondered the words. Since the emperor is like this, it is estimated that he knows almost all the ins and outs. What he really asked should be his opinion on the matter.

So Evan said, "Nothing. The little daughter's family was a little cautious, and they just took the wrong way to deal with it. I'll take care of it. ”

The Emperor nodded. "I believe in your abilities. But Ivan, I still have to warn you. Our Gatler family is inseparable from the support of the Eindo family. Your marriage to her is vital to our control of the Empire. Handle it properly, or you will be in trouble. Don't learn from the emperor. Got it. ”

Evan nodded his head to show that he understood.

It seems that someone told the emperor what the maid had said at the end.

Roy's look flashed through Ivan in his mind. I don't know if Roy was in front of the Emperor, whether it was good or bad for her.

Then Ivan's expression turned a little colder. Roy's appearance was ripped from his mind, thrown out of his brain, and thrown far away.

"What else do you command?" Evan asked his father respectfully.

The Emperor moved his lips, as if suddenly remembering something. "That...... That's right, it's called Luo Xiu. That Luo Xiu is right next to you, isn't he? Ask me when the three-stage leap engine will be available. ”

Evan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this is for Robert to ask. "No problem. If it comes on the market in the near future, I will purchase a few and bring it back to the empire. ”

The Emperor smiled and nodded, his eyes shining with kindness.

It's a pity that those eyes didn't look at Evan, but didn't know what far away they were looking at, as if they were thinking about someone who was not in front of him at the moment.

In fact, Evan has long been used to it. But for some reason, when he saw the eyes again today, which he had seen thousands of times, he suddenly felt the same ...... when he was treated like this for the first time It's hard to feel like it.

"I wonder how Robert is doing?" Evan asked. Anyway, he still likes this younger brother very much.

"What else. It's out of tune all day long. The emperor said hatefully, but the corners of his mouth were proudly raised, like a real father. Well, don't talk about him. Also, when you arrive in the Federal Capital Area, if you have time, you can pick out a piece of jewelry for your mother to bring back. Remember, be sure to pick it yourself. ”

This request was something that Evan did not expect: "I will definitely not forget my mother's gift." What do you mean ......"

After all, this is just a formality, so why do you have to let him pick it himself. He didn't specialize in jewelry appreciation, and his stepmother couldn't tell if he picked it himself.

The Emperor sighed softly. "Evan, that's your mother after all, and the power behind her is not small. Having a good relationship with her will only be good for you, not bad. ”

"I have never had the idea of disrespecting my mother, let alone done anything that harms my mother's face and interests." Evan said, "What reminded me so much? ”

The emperor, who had only been in office for less than a month, looked at his eldest son with a complicated expression. “…… You know, I've always liked that you talk to me whenever you have something to say, and never beat around the bush. But I really hope that you can use the art of language more for me today. ”

Ivan immediately bowed his head and apologized to the emperor.

"Forget it. I'm just for the good of the empire, but also for the good of our family. The emperor waved his hand as if he was a little tired, "After all, I have just succeeded to the throne, and many things seem to be calm, but in fact they collapsed in an instant. At this time, we need to cling to our allies. Well, you get the idea. I won't say more. It wasn't early, I went to rest. ”

Evan sent the emperor off.

His father's holographic projection dimmed, and suddenly it flickered and lit up again. Apparently it was the emperor who suddenly changed his mind and terminated the hang-up of the communication.

"That's right. Remember to bring a gift for your uncle and a few cousins as well. Your own mother's one. ”

After saying that, the emperor no longer waited for Ivan to answer, and hung up the communication.

Ivan straightened up, turned in silence, walked to the door, and opened the door.

In order to make the holographic projection effect better, the projection room is very dimly lit. He opened the door, and the bright yellow light from outside shone in, which was a little dazzling.

But no matter how bright it is, it's artificial, without the temperature of sunlight.

Ivan walked silently into the cold light, closed the door, stood quietly for a moment, and clicked on the communicator.

"Hey, help me get in touch with the Blue Whale."

"Your Highness, the Blue Whale has left." (To be continued.) )
