At the forefront is the guest of honor.

He wore a golden crown on his head, a purple robe with gold soft armor, and his hair was full of blonde hair, slender and soft, and naturally wavy, like silk draped over his shoulders.

The long eyebrows are slanted upwards in the direction of the temples on both sides like phoenix feathers, and the slender figure is as strong as a branch, and even if the arms and the part below the knees are exposed, you can see the fullness, proportion, and toning of the muscles and bones, and the wheat-colored skin.

The lines of his face, as if deliberately carved by a carver, are very smooth and clear.

A pair of long, slender eyes, like sapphires, emit a deep and deep glow.

The bridge of the nose is handsome, tall and straight, and the red lips are moderately thick, glowing like pink pearls.

It can be said that his image is the most handsome category of Western men.

Just now, it was he who took the lead in applauding Xiao Qiongzhi.

Because, in the Great Depression, there is no such habit of applauding people for praise.

Bao Baosk, I didn't have this habit before.

Five years ago, when he met Xiao Qiongzhi, he once took Xiao Qiongzhi out to play, and saw Xiao Qiongzhi applauding an old man who played the melodica, so he understood the meaning of applause, and since then he has learned to applaud others when he speaks.

Xiao Xuanliang, Xiao Zhenjia, and Xiao Zhengzhen were also applauding.

They didn't have the habit of applauding originally, but they just saw that Ske was applauding Xiao Qiongzhi, and guessed that this was a kind of appreciation, and they just followed him to do so.

"My future queen, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown into a perfect goddess, I will fall for you!" When Ske saw Xiao Qiongzhi looking over, his face was immediately filled with an eager and welcoming smile, and as he spoke, he strode to Xiao Qiongzhi's side, opened his arms, and hugged her tightly.

Xiao Qiongzhi had seen this kind of enthusiasm as early as five years ago.

However, she was still young at the time, and she also understood that this was the body language that Westerners used to express their affection for, and she never refused.

Now, it's different.

First, this is in public.

Furthermore, perhaps because she has entered puberty, she will subconsciously reject any excessive closeness of the opposite sex, including her father Xiao Zhengzhen and her brother Xiao Jinjia.

She deliberately flashed her figure to avoid Ske's embrace, and then, in order to keep Ske from feeling embarrassed, she tapped Ske's shoulder from the side, stood on her heels, leaned her head against Ske's shoulder, and stood side by side with Ske.

Originally, because he didn't hug her, his expression was a little wrong, but now, he immediately turned from wrong to curious, raised his eyebrows at her, and then looked at her brightly, as if asking her not to let him hug her, to explain.

Xiao Qiongzhi had no choice but to smile sweetly and said, "Ske, you are welcome to Da Xiao as a guest." However, we are not popular in Daxiao to hug and greet, especially between men and women, not only can they not hug and greet, but they also have to avoid suspicion, and they must not have any skin contact. ”

Skat blinked his bright eyes and said aloud, "Oh, I see. It's just that my future queen, I've embraced you like this before, and I'm used to doing so, so can you give me the privilege of not having to conform to the local customs in this regard?"

"No, because I also have to follow the rules of our Great Depression." Xiao Qiongzhi shook his head and said seriously.

Skke immediately looked very hurt, and said helplessly: "Okay, it seems that I can only embrace you to my heart's content if I marry you to our Ilan Empire as soon as possible." ”

"Haha, then you have to try to show your sincerity, because, now that I'm older, I'm not as easy to abduct as I was when I was a child." Xiao Qiongzhi laughed and slapped Ske's shoulder twice.

"Alas, my future queen-"

"Wait!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Prince Kun.

He was very unhappy, and immediately widened his eyes and looked at Prince Kun with a grim expression and majestic gaze.

Prince Kun interrupted Si because he was not used to hearing and Shi called Xiao Qiongzhi "my future queen".

He planned to remind him that according to the rules of the Great Depression, men and women are not allowed to call each other "future **" before they are trying to get married.

However, he had never felt such a cold look and seen such a majestic gaze.

He felt a murderous aura rise around him, and a sudden chill suddenly appeared in his heart, and he forgot to persuade him at all, so he was so stunned.

The Elan Empire, the most powerful empire in the West, was often engaged in conquests and killings to expand its territory.

The native people of the entire Ilan Empire belong to a fighting nation and advocate the spirit of force very much.

Their children, as long as they are boys, are taken to the Elama elders from the birth to undergo a full body examination. If the elders think the child is unhealthy, the child is thrown into an abandoned farm in the middle of nowhere, and then the child's mother bathes the baby with strong liquor.

If the child has convulsions or is unconscious, it is considered that the child is not physically strong and cannot grow into a good warrior and let him die.

Before the child is seven years old, it is raised by both parents, and among them, great attention is paid to cultivating their habits such as not crying, not picky eater, not noisy, not afraid of dark, not afraid of hunger, not afraid of thirst, not afraid of loneliness, etc.

After the age of seven, the child will be assigned to a special training team for children, and lead a collective military life.

All children are required to be absolutely obedient to their leader, and are trained in a variety of ways to increase their courage, physical strength, and cruelty.

They need to practice running, throwing discus, boxing, fencing, and engaging in all kinds of fights with humans and beasts.

In order to train them in obedience and patience, they were also whipped once a year during the festival of worship, and they were not allowed to beg for mercy or cry out for pain.

Usually, by the age of twelve, he would be formed into a junior team and lead a harsher life.

For example, he was bareheaded and barefoot every day, whether it was summer or winter, he only wore a tattered and bad clothes, only gave a little food that would not starve to death, was often hungry, and was encouraged to go outside to steal something to eat.

If someone finds out and returns to the junior team, they will be beaten hard.

There was once a teenager who mistook a wolf from a noble family for a puppy and stole it and hid it in his arms.

When he escaped, the little wolf bit him in his clothes, and in order not to be discovered, he kept quiet, and was bitten through the chest by the little wolf, and died tragically.

By the age of ten, all the young Ilan men who were selected to join the Cadet Corps officially became soldiers, and could not marry until they were thirty years old, and even as the leader of the fighting nation, they had to accept these rules for training as warriors, without the slightest exception.

Originally, he could not inherit the throne until he was thirty years old, because his father had been fighting for many years, accumulated injuries and overwork, and when he was fifteen years old, he died of illness, so he had to return to the palace early to inherit the throne.

However, during his time in power, according to the rules, he still had to spare at least one-third of the daytime every day, that is, no less than three hours, for physical and combat training, until he was thirty years old and could be allowed to marry.

Moreover, even if he is married at the age of thirty, according to the rules, he still spends at least one hour a day participating in military training.

However, since he succeeded to the throne and became the emperor of the Ilan Empire, he has ruled the Ilan Empire for eight years, during which he has commanded and participated in dozens of large-scale conquests.

When he is not angry, he looks like an elegant and personable gentleman, very approachable.

Once he was angry, the cold coercion he had accumulated from receiving high-intensity physical fitness and combat training since he was a child, and commanding and participating in large-scale battles, was suddenly revealed through his expression.
