Chapter Fifty-Six: The Starry Empire
Star Empire, Star Palace.
It has always been the place where the Emperor of the Star Empire conducts business and holds large meetings. Every once in a while, an Imperial Plenum is held here, and it just so happens that today is the day of the meeting.
Lords of the Empire, as well as those who were eligible to attend, would attend the meetings in person or send their own children or spokesmen to attend the meetings on their behalf.
When the time comes, the largest hall in the Hall of Stars will be decorated to welcome the beginning of the meeting.
The huge circular hall was filled with a large number of seats, surrounded by a podium in the middle. There are tens of thousands of seats here, and there are already people on the eighth floor listening to the speech on the podium.
It was a very young man who was making an impassioned speech on his topic. Although he spoke very seriously, there were not many people who really listened carefully, and they were basically deserting.
After a while, the young man finally finished his topic and left the podium and returned to his seat. Returning to his seat, the young man looked very angry and looked down on him so much.
Another young man next to him saw his appearance and immediately persuaded him. "Don't be angry, Hawke. We knew about this situation before we came, and there is nothing to be angry about now, after all, it is a very honorable thing to be able to stand there. ”
"Lyle, I know you're right, but I'm still not reconciled." Hawke is grateful to this partner who has grown up with him since he was a child, but he has been preparing for this day for so long, and it will be like this. "They don't even know how serious the situation is, and if they are allowed to continue, it will turn into a big crisis that they can't deal with."
"Alright, don't talk about it." Seeing that Hawke was still upset, Lyle quickly interrupted. "Let's not think much about anything, just listen obediently, and there is nothing bad for us anyway."
"Listen to you, I don't want to hear them say something high-sounding anyway, so let's sleep for a while." Hawke ignored Lyle and closed his eyes, preparing to protest by sleeping.
There were people there who were taking Hawke's next speech, and it was all a matter of little nonsense, but the nobles just liked to listen to it, and they all applauded enthusiastically from time to time.
Time passed slowly, one after another, and soon all the scheduled speakers for today had already gone up. It was the turn of the Emperor of the Star Empire, Omroses Hopps, to conclude today's meeting.
A middle-aged man dressed in an emperor's gown came out of the royal area, walked to the podium, and spoke loudly to the attendees. "Welcome to this Imperial Conference, today is the first day of speeches. I listened to the speakers' topics and felt that they were all very good topics, and I hope to hear more impressive topics the next day. After a pause, he continued. Today is almost the end of the day, so I declare the first day of the meeting closed. You can go back to your accommodation and get some rest and prepare for tomorrow's meeting. See you tomorrow. ”
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the royal area, preparing to quickly leave here from there, return to his office, and continue to deal with unfinished business.
Return to the exclusive royal area and meet your younger brother who is smiling at him, Eugudas Hops.
"Eugoudas, how are you doing?" He knew that his younger brother had been thinking about Granty, who had not yet been found, and said with a sigh. "It's been seven years, and so many people have been sent in to investigate, but not a single percent of them have returned. I didn't find any useful information, but I knew that it was very dangerous, and there were all kinds of dangerous creatures. ”
"Ah......" Eugoudas replied with a sigh as he listened to his brother's words. Your Majesty, I believe that Grant is still alive, but she is trapped inside, unable to get out for the time being. He'll come back alive, I'm convinced. ”
"Hmmm! Yes, definitely. Omrosis patted his slightly decadent and depressed brother.
The other members of the royal family did not say anything, for fear of disturbing the conversation between the two. They all knew that because of the incident seven years ago, they had always troubled this prince.
Now that today's speech is over, it has become pointless to stay here, so these people all bid farewell to the two of them.
Seeing that they had all walked out of the way, the two brothers also walked out together, and Eugoudas sighed and left alone, leaving Eumerosis alone in the doorway watching his back.
Omrosis looked at his younger brother's decadent back and muttered helplessly. "It's so refreshing, a person who was originally so good can actually become like this. Granty, you kid must come back alive for me, or your dad won't be able to live. ”
He went back to his office alone, sat down on the soft sofa, and ordered the maid to prepare himself a favorite drink.
Holding the crystal cup brought by the maid, my sister took a sip, and the cool feeling went down my throat all the way, stimulating the world and digestive organs, making people feel refreshed from the inside.
After drinking this refreshing drink, Omrosis took out a stack of business documents reported by the lords of various places, and began to look at them carefully.
Two hours later, after reading more than a dozen copies, I was about to take a break, and when I continued reading later, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
I don't know who is looking for him at this time, so he asked loudly outside the door. "Who? If there is no urgency, don't disturb me to continue working. ”
"Your Majesty, it's me, Da'im. There is something very urgent to report. The man outside the door heard the inquiry from inside and immediately replied loudly inside.
"Oh!" Hearing Daim outside the door say that there was something very urgent, he waved his hand and saw the door open by itself, and a man in uniform stood outside.
Seeing the man who called himself Daim, Omrosis immediately stood up and said to him very excitedly. "Is it about that spatial passage?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." He was also very excited, after all, he had been waiting for seven years, and today he was looking forward to the results. "Not long ago, two people suddenly came out of that spatial passage. It was confirmed that they were His Royal Highness Granty, who had entered seven years earlier, and the Knight of Saphis, both of whom had returned alive. Other than that, no one else came out, presumably all dead inside. ”
"Hey...... Now it's good, Yugudasio can finally rest assured. Omrosis was very emotional, and his brother finally regained his strength. Daim, send someone over to inform Eugudath and tell him to come over here quickly. ”
"It's good, Your Majesty. I'll send somebody. Daim was immediately ordered to exit the door and leave with the door.
Seeing that Dayim had departed, Omrosis hummed a little song in a cheerful mood, and called the maid and commanded. "Hurry down and have the most sumptuous dishes prepared, and when the preparation is complete, you will come and inform me. Do you understand? ”
"Understood, Your Majesty. The slave and maid will go and prepare. The maid bowed her head very respectfully and replied.
When the maid was gone, Eumerosis sat down and thought about things, waiting for Daim to come again.
Follow that person down with him, and prepare to go back to see His Majesty the Emperor.
He was in front, and Saphis, and I followed. I glanced at the others, and then spoke to Saffis. "Sapphis, only you and I know what's going on inside the Dao. I would like to ask you not to tell me about my relationship with the woman named Tianyue in the enchantment, it will cause me a lot of trouble. ”
"Your Highness......" Saffis looked very surprised when he heard what I had said to him, and when he understood the contents. After thinking for a moment, he replied. "I can keep it secret for His Highness, but His Highness must first promise me a condition, and then I can make a deal."
"On what terms?" I was very happy to hear that I could keep it a secret for myself, but when I heard the latter words, I immediately started to drum in my heart. "As long as I can agree, I will agree, but if it exceeds the range, then I will never give in."
"Your Highness, as long as you don't tell me about the gift I received, that's fine." Saphis's words reveal his ambition.
"Okay, deal." I didn't give it any thought and answered right away.
Both sides are very happy, after all, people are selfish, and there is such a good opportunity in front of them, who doesn't want to miss it.
The two of us exchanged glances and were very happy to be able to close this deal.
After falling for a while, I finally saw the square again. Saphiss and I are still very excited, after all, it is great to see us here again.
Although he was lucky to survive, the rest of his companions did not make it back alive, which was very frustrating. They came in with themselves, but they couldn't get out together. I must fulfill my promise to erect a monument to them in this square.
After feeling this, he just fell to the ground. At this time, there were already a lot of people here, basically members of the forces directly under the royal family of the city, and only a few of them were other personnel.
Daem was standing in front of everyone and was watching us fall. When we landed on the ground, he walked over slowly and said very respectfully to me. "Your Highness, it's great that you're back alive. Prince Yugudas waited for His Highness's safe return every day, and his physical and mental state became very poor. Now that the Prince is on his way to His Majesty, please ask His Highness and Captain Saphis to come with him. ”
"Well, that's good." Hearing that his father's body and mind had become very bad, he said anxiously. "Then let's hurry up."
Saphiss and Daim looked at me, and then turned and left, ready to go to Omrosis
