289 You Must Marry Her!
"Don't you want me to help you manage the Vault Dweller? I said that only Miss Claire could do this, and now there is a way......" The Empress was not only smiling, but her eyes were thick with moisture, but not tears.
ββ¦β¦ What's the solution? "If it's for this, Hong Tao really needs it, even more urgently than making drones.
If you don't have enough people, you can't do anything but be a small group of pirates with the few people around you. It's not that it's incompetent, organizations as big as Bloodraiders and Sasha are still limited by population.
"Marry me! You are their chief, and if you marry me, I will be your people, a people like them. No matter who I am or what I have done before, it was all done by Empress Jameel before marriage, and I have only one identity after marriage, the patriarch's wife, Refa. As if on purpose to make Claire hear, the Empress tilted her head.
ββ¦β¦ You two are here to test me on purpose, right? Claire, this game is not fun. Hong Tao didn't take it seriously, and was even a little irritable.
It's understandable to say that Princess Flower Poison or Sanger like to play this kind of prank, and their personalities are like this, but Claire and the Empress shouldn't be like that. And now is not the time to joke, not to mention helping and adding to the chaos, how can you learn so quickly.
"Who is in the mood to joke with you, Refa is right, if you want the Vault Dweller to submit, you can only marry her, otherwise between the Vault Dweller and her, you can only choose one. I advise you not to give up, Refa is a good leader, she can help you manage the clan well. Vault Dwellers are also the only source of population, and you can only rely on them if you want to develop at the moment. It was Claire who answered the question, her voice calm, much like she was talking about the results of her research.
"That's what the two of you discussed?" Hong Tao didn't think it was a joke, and then he frowned, staring at the empress's eyes. This woman can't have the demagogic skills of the flower clan and brainwash Claire!
"Claire, you see, he's really angry......" The empress was not frightened by Hong Tao's eyes, and smiled at Claire and squeezed her eyes.
ββ¦β¦ Come here! β¦β¦ You get out! Claire bit her lip and wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, so she simply grabbed Hong Tao and pulled her to her side and put her forehead together. But they immediately separated again, and gave vicious orders to the Empress.
"It's very comfortable here, I won't disturb you, please feel free to ......" The empress was tougher than Sanger, and she was stunned at all in the face of Claire, who was standing with her eyebrows, and stretched out to let her body relax completely, floating comfortably in the derivative solution.
"It's all good for you! Close your eyes and focus! Claire gritted her teeth, no longer bothered with the empress, but poured all her anger on Hong Tao, the manipulator pinched the man's neck, so that the foreheads of the two people were tightly together, and the strong consciousness instantly occupied Hong Tao's brain.
If the fusion of consciousness on the road was three horses, then this time it was a performance, and the performance was for the empress to see. Claire seemed to be more excited at this time, turning all her anger into another emotion, like she was going to compete with someone.
Hong Tao dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, no, he didn't even dare to be angry, so he could only passively cooperate. Why did Claire behave in such a gaffe? Nonsense, whoever has a boyfriend who wants to marry another woman will not be calm. All this is caused by herself, she is not only angry, but more aggrieved, if she needs to vent, she must cooperate, and she can't be perfunctory.
In addition to calming Claire's emotions, Hong Tao was not idle, and he did not forget to communicate in the process of consciousness fusion. There are some words that a woman may not be able to say, and some meanings may not be fully expressed by words alone. Well, now, as long as Claire doesn't deliberately hide it, she can sense what she wants to do and how she feels.
The empress said that Claire had a way, but she was actually asking Claire's opinion to get her to agree to the marriage. That's right, the empress just wants to marry herself, which she and Claire clearly admitted. It's not a fake marriage to fool the Vault Dweller, but a real marriage, and then a child, and then divorce when the Vault Dweller's patriarch position has an heir, and return Hong Tao to Claire.
So how could Claire agree? Could it be that she really had some trick to be caught by the empress and had to agree?
The answer made Hong Tao a little helpless, he didn't have any handle, everything was because of his living habits. The attitude of the New Eden people towards marriage has long been different from that of the earthlings, and whether they are married or not is not protected by the law at all, because there is no marriage law at all, only inheritance law.
The model of marriage existed only as a customary custom among the nobility, but the subject was still the law of inheritance. In the folk, marriage is more about continuing the offspring, and you can leave this relationship at any time after having children. Moreover, children are no longer the privilege of men, and can follow both the father's and mother's surnames.
As a nobleman, Claire is not as indifferent to marriage as a commoner, but in order to let Hong Tao's organization develop smoothly, she gritted her teeth and endured it. Anyway, whether they are married or not, whether they are first married or second, is meaningless to the New Edenians, and the same is true for the nobles.
"What if she repents then?" Hong Tao is still not very comfortable with such an avant-garde lifestyle, and is very worried that he and Claire have fallen into the trap of the empress. If she dies for her own interests and refuses to admit it, it will still be very troublesome.
"Repentance? I am a witness with Sanger and Princess Gigi, and you are the patriarch, how can she regret it? However, your children will be surnamed Sadom and raised by Refa. I really don't know whether to thank her or hate her, you've been calculated by her a long time ago! β
Claire didn't feel the same for Hong Tao's worries at all, and even felt that something was wrong with the man's brain. Is such a simple question worth pondering? But in the end, he suffered a loss, and he still had some resentment towards the empress.
"Refa, why do you have to have a child with me? You should know that children alone can't control me. "As the New Eden is used to when you think about it, it's really nothing. But Hong Tao can't figure it out, for the sake of the development of the organization, it's okay to compromise, so why do you have to have a child?
"My child has the purest Emma blood, and when he grows up, he must be the Emperor, the only one!" Show oneβs true colors in the end! The empress, who has always been gentle as water, seems to have no desire for power, finally shows her true colors. In fact, she has never forgotten to take back the lost rights, but she is very smart and knows that it may be hopeless in her life on her own, so she thought of another way.
ββ¦β¦ Are you really so sure I have Emma blood? "Well, the topic is back again, Hong Tao has long forgotten about it.
"Everything can go wrong in the Empire, but not in this area, I'm 100% sure. If you're still not convinced, ask Miss Sanger to check our DNA again. Lady and Miss Gorra, both well-known scholars in the field of biological neurology, should be credible in her findings. The Empress was still so determined that she even took the initiative to ask for a third-party test.
ββ¦β¦ Well, even if you're right, I'm a clone, how can I have a baby? Hong Tao didn't want to discuss this issue anymore, it wasn't all up to her to say what kind of bloodline the purebred Emma was, and there was no point in arguing.
But there is a big mistake here, cloned people cannot have children, although I have not been trained as a clone pilot, but the regulations on this aspect are not less, there are very clear clauses in them.
"Aite, this excuse is so rude, is there a problem with your short-term memory? Just right, let Sanger check your brain, I'm not worried about your current state. β
As soon as these words came out, the smile on the empress's face disappeared, and her eyes were full of resentment. Claire looked helpless, touching Hong Tao's half of the metal skull, as if she was looking at a second-hand electrical appliance bought from a thrift market.
"Aite, I need you to come to the lab, right away!" I don't know if Sanger was waiting for Claire's communication, but within a few seconds, he popped out of the virtual screen, wearing a large number of instruments on his head, looking very funny, but his expression was very serious.
