Prince William is a cute little boy and gets along well with Morningstar. Although the trapped-up model is more than William's, it is still just a toy in front of Morningstar. Morningstar sat on the soft carpet with William in his arms, fiddling with the trapped-up model in his hands, and kept telling William about the difference between the real trap and the toy.

Caterina and Quinn sat on the sofa not far away, not knowing what to whisper, and from time to time looked at Morning Star and William, who were getting along well, with a smile on their faces. But anyone knows in their hearts that the harmony between Morning Star and William is precisely the gradual distance between him and Katarina.

An announcement sounded outside the door, followed by a loud call for "Führer" from the mouth of the guards outside the door, and everyone in the room learned that it was Vistock who had returned, and they all got up to greet him. The door to the room was opened, and there was no sound, which showed that the person who opened the door cared about etiquette. A burly figure appeared at the door, with leather boots on his feet, dressed in an earthy yellow military uniform, with a full medal of honor hanging on the chest of a straight trench coat, the placket was wide open, and the thick chest under the military uniform inside made the figure more prominent, and the hair was a little gray, but it was not like the color of the white hair of the republic, but with a hint of silver, and there were a few crow's feet hanging from the corners of the eyes, but it would not affect the essence in the eyes of the visitor, the bridge of the nose was straight, the lips were thick, and the two big ears were close to the outline of the head, which could be seen from the front. Behind the person was a middle-aged woman with still charm, who was the same as Caterina between her eyebrows and eyes, but had a maturity that Caterina did not have. The hair bun is high, the makeup is exquisite, and a gorgeous long skirt makes her extraordinarily noble, and her gestures are full of aristocratic atmosphere, but there is no trace of rebelliousness, and the gentle smile on her face makes people feel like spring.

William, who was still holding Morning Star's hand, ran to the door like a rabbit happily after seeing the visitor, shouting: "Father, mother." And he threw himself into the man's arms. The man is none other than Vystock, and the woman behind him is the first lady of the Empire, Elena.

Although Vistock is iron-blooded and ruthless in front of outsiders, he shows the image of a loving father in the face of his children. Grabbing William's two arms and picking him up, a kind smile leaked from Vistock's suggested face, and he scratched William's nose and said, "Little trickster, what are you pestering guests for?" ”

William rubbed his nose, then hugged Vistock's neck with both hands, turned his head to look at Morningstar and said, "Father, that toy is not good at trapping, brother-in-law told me, there are really many more places than this toy!" ”

"Brother-in-law?" Vistock looked at William in his arms, then at Morningstar with an embarrassed face, and then turned his head to look at his daughter who had already walked to Elena's side, and saw that the other party's face was full of red clouds, and laughed: "It's not time yet!" It's too early to call your brother-in-law! ”

"What should it be called?" William asked, poking his little red face with his delicate little hands.

Instead of answering, Vystock lowered William to the ground, then beckoned to Morning Star and walked straight to the balcony of the room.

Morningstar glanced at Katarina, and the princess nodded shyly, and then Morningstar's gaze fell on Elena's face, and she nodded to herself as she smiled. Morningstar rubbed the hair at the back of his head and followed in Vestok's footsteps.

Located on a hill in the middle of the city, the Vystock Mansion is a vast battlefield, but it is not as impregnable as Chola Castle in Warrensburg. Standing on the balcony, the morning star looked into Vystock's eyes, and it was a bustling scene. Morningstar didn't speak, he was waiting for Vistock.

"Do you see, this is the Empire, and in the near future, his fate will be ...... by William" Vystock suddenly dragged out his voice, and then said: "Or Caterina will be in control, who do you want it to be?" ”

After thinking for a moment, Morningstar replied, "If I'm more selfish, I'd rather be Prince William." ”

Vistock chuckled and said, "Be selfish, Caterina is my daughter of Vistock, the princess of the Empire, is your selfishness to take her away from the Empire and take her to your little place?" ”

Morningstar didn't have the slightest intention to refute Vystock's words, Vetstock was right, compared to the Empire, ItGleason was indeed a small place, and he really wanted to take Caterina away, after thinking for a moment, Morningstar replied: "You're right, I don't have a lot of space there, but I dare to say that it's the safest place under the stars." I can also understand your thoughts, after all, most fathers-in-law will have a feeling that their most precious things have been robbed of them when they meet their son-in-law for the first time. ”

"And you think I'm one of the majority?" Vistock still didn't look back, and said with his hands behind his back.

Morning Star smiled, leaned his hands on the railing of the balcony, and replied, "Even if you are the head of the Empire, you are also a father, and I can see from your love for William just now that you care a lot more about your children than most people, not to mention that Caterina is still so good." ”

Vistock seemed to be very satisfied with Morning Star's words, nodded slightly and continued: "That's right, I am a father, so I hope that my children will have their own lives and happiness, but I am also the father of all the subjects of the empire, I shoulder their future, I can't be too selfish, so I want to train a new king for them, a new head, I want to make sure that their future is at least no worse than the present, I can only sacrifice the happiness of my children, which is also their fate." ”

Vystock's words touched Morningstar's heart, and he sighed lightly and replied, "You're right, we are actually all bound by fate, and there are too many bodies that can't help ourselves. ”

The scene fell silent, and the old and the young stood silently on the balcony, looking into the distance.

In the room behind her, Elena had already taken Caterina and Quinn's hands and sat on the sofa next to her, and Quinn was quite calm, but Katerina's eyes glanced at the balcony, and she was worried about the conversation between Morning Star and Vistock.

Yelena looked at her daughter, whose face was a little complicated, and said with a smile: "Carter, are you worried about something?" ”

"Mother, father and Morning Star don't know what they're talking about, will they quarrel? Father has always been the same, and Morningstar is also a stubborn temper, always arguing with Uncle Layton, you can ask Sister Quinn, we have all persuaded Morningstar many times, and it has not improved. Caterina's words caused Elena to lose her mind slightly, and after a moment she also looked at the figures of the two men on the balcony, and muttered, "What a look, this child is very much like his father." Decades ago, I watched your father stand side by side with Layton on a high place, and they were ...... Hey, you've all grown so big in a blink of an eye, time flies so fast. ”

Caterina didn't expect Elena to have such an association because of the backs of Morningstar and Vettoke, and in order to dispel this faint sadness, she asked Elena with a smile: "Mother, then why did you choose your father instead of Uncle Layton in the first place?" ”

After hearing Katarina's words, Yelena also had a flush on her face, and said: "When I was young, I didn't have the same tolerant thinking as you do now, your Uncle Layton was merciful at that time, but your father was very infatuated with me, so I was moved by your father and chose him." But who knows, this old guy is not much better than your Uncle Leighton, and as his status gets higher and higher, there are more women around him. ”

Caterina grabbed Yelena's arm and shook it lightly, and persuaded obediently: "But my father still loves you the most, and for so many years, as long as he has nothing special, he will come back to accompany you every day." ”

Elena doted on Katarina's hair and said, "Yes, after all, he is the head of the empire, and I don't know how many women have taken the initiative to stick to him, and it is not easy to do what he does." After a slight pause, as if remembering something, Elena continued: "Your Uncle Layton has also changed later, and he has relented after hearing that he has a son called Morning Star. Turning her head to look at Vistok's back again, Elena said with feeling: "The two of them are really two extremes." ”

"And who do you prefer?" Caterina asked with a smile as she looked at Yelena with a disarm.

Yelena blushed again, patted Katarina's thigh lightly and said, "What nonsense are you, how old are we, and what do you like or dislike?" ”

……

Vistock on the balcony suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing, looked around puzzled, then shook his head, and said to himself: "Hey, the years are not forgiving, I still shiver in such a good weather." Morningstar hurriedly asked if Vistock needed to return to the house, and the latter waved back.

Tightening his trench coat, Vistock said: "I see that you and William are quite compatible, that little guy is usually very afraid of life, how can he get along with you so well?" ”

Morningstar smirked and scratched the back of his head and replied, "William likes mechs very much, and he is also very interested in my trap, so I told some stories about trapping, and the little guy was very close to me." ”

Vistock chuckled and said, "It seems that it is not for nothing that he is willing to call you brother-in-law. But do you know what happens when you do that? Vistock's expression became serious, and Morningstar understood the meaning of his words very clearly, his hands pressed on the railing again, Morningstar looked up at the sky and replied lightly: "I know, the result is likely to be that the future of the empire will have one more queen, and I will miss the opportunity to grow old with the woman I love the most." ”

"Favorite? Your skill in rhetoric is no worse than your father's. But is Caterina your favorite? I see that the women around you seem to have an ambiguous relationship with you, you don't want to abandon my daughter in such a way, do you? There was a bit of seriousness in Vestok's words.

Morningstar shook his head with a wry smile and replied, "If it were possible, I would really like to abduct Caterina to a planet where no one lives, and live and die together every day." But as you know, there are some things that cannot be solved by escaping, and I have provoked too many people, lovers and enemies. I can't give up my lover easily, I'm not a scumbag, and the enemy won't let me go easily, I need to be on guard. Abandon Katarina? You'd better kill me, that would be much better than being separated from Katarina. ”

"If you think so, why do you want to indulge William?" Vistock turned, his eyes full of doubt.

Morning Star let out a long sigh and replied, "He's still just a kid, it's far happier for him to be able to do what interests him than to be the future head of the state, and I can't force him to accept the pressure he shouldn't have at this age because of selfishness." ”

Vystock seemed to be very satisfied with Morningstar's answer, and his questioning eyes instantly turned into appreciation, which made Morningstar know that everything was a test, and he had to admire the head of the empire in front of him, the speed of changing his face was not much more than that of Layton.

"Not bad, barely passing." Vistock's evaluation made Morning Star's heart that had been hanging in the air finally land. In the face of Vistock's question, Morningstar didn't think about picking out what to say, but in the end, he didn't know how, Morningstar said what he really thought in his confidence. Perhaps it is precisely because of these heartfelt thoughts that Vystock gave Morning Star such an evaluation, how lucky.

Under the watchful gaze of a room full of women large and small, Morning Star followed Vistock back into the room. Although she wanted to throw herself down to Morningstar's side and ask what was going on, Caterina held back her curiosity.

Vystock walked up to William, took the little prince in his arms, and teased the cute little boy as he walked out the door. When Elena saw Vistock leave, she also stood up and left the room after whispering a few words to Quinn. Morningstar made it all the way to the door, and watched as the backs of Vistock and Yelena disappeared into the hallway before returning to the house.

"Whew!" Morningstar ripped off his coat, and the white shirt he was wearing close to him had obvious water marks. Turning his head to look around, Morningstar found that everyone in the room did not need to shy away, except for those who had an intimate relationship with him, he would have an intimate relationship with himself, even Ellie had seen herself shirtless, there was nothing to avoid, her shirt was also ripped off by Morningstar, she took the towel from Tina's hand, and wiped the sweat off her body with the help of Quinn, Morningstar leaned back on the sofa and said bitterly: "O Imperial Führer, I have been able to stand beside him for so long, But I'm so nervous. ”

Quinn continued to wipe her upper body for Morning Star, and said with a smile: "Didn't I see that you were quite calm just now, talking about it vigorously, why are you so nervous and sweating so much?" ”

Morning Star waved his hand and said: "Don't mention it, it's all calm pretended, that's the head of the empire, Vistock, how many people stand beside him and don't even dare to raise their heads, you can't feel his aura, it's too powerful." I think I'm good, I'm just sweating a little. ”

Caterina also walked out of the inner room and brought a suit of clothes for Morningstar. These clothes were prepared by Caterina when she learned that Morningstar was coming to the Empire, and she asked the tailor to make them according to the memories in her mind, and she originally wanted to wait for the two of them to be alone before taking them out, but seeing that Morningstar was sweating profusely, the original two pieces were obviously unable to continue to wear, so they had to be taken out in advance. In the ambiguous eyes of everyone, the princess of the empire also seemed not too calm, walked to the side of the morning star, and just wanted to dress the morning star, but noticed the scar on the morning star again. Caterina had already noticed the scars on Morningstar's body when she was in the floating car earlier, but Morningstar was too eager at that time, and Caterina drowned in Morningstar's endless enthusiasm before she had time to ask in detail. Seeing those hideous scars again at this moment, Caterina began to feel a little distressed, reached out and gently stroked Morning Star's chest and asked, "It must have hurt when you were injured, right?" ”

Morningstar grabbed Katarina's hand and replied with a smile, "It hurt a lot at first, but then I forgot about it when my temper came up, and when I calmed down, I fainted and didn't feel any pain." ”

Caterina gave Morning Star a blank look, her slender hand rubbing a few times on Morning Star's scar, and continued, "You are so powerful, you fainted in pain, and you still say it so nicely. Can't you let Anshidal clean up this scar for you? ”

Morningstar laughed and took Caterina into his arms, and pouted to the four beauties of the Shadow Guard who had been standing behind him, "Those people especially like this, in their race, this is the label of a warrior, and I am also their warrior now, if I am naked, I am a little sorry for this name!" ”

Caterina turned to look up at the Shadow Guards, and was shocked to find that the eyes of the four Psenchus were staring unblinkingly at the scar on Morningstar's chest and the angular muscles, and their throats squirmed unconsciously. Caterina laughed out loud when she watched this scene, took her clothes and put them on Morning Star's body, leaned over to Morning Star's ear and said, "Personal guard?" ”

Morningstar nodded.

Caterina glanced up at Quinn beside her, and said with a smile, "Is that Sister Quinn won't let you touch them?" Looking at their appearance, I've been coveting you for a long time. ”

Quinn, who was still wiping Morning Star's body on the side, put down the towel in his hand, pinched Katarina's face and said, "I didn't care about him, but you can't indulge him!" ”

Katerina's smile was even more beautiful, and after whispering a few words on top of Morning Star, she got up and left, leaving only a yearning smirk on Morning Star's face.
