Fool, my only daughter is there, the prince glared at the dumb man viciously, it was the director of the Health and Education Bureau, this old stubborn. He can't reprimand the old guy who has been sitting in his house with his grandfather about safety and hygiene since his father's days, but he can ignore him.

"The situation is unknown at the moment, and we cannot sit idly by," the prince ordered, "and there must be a fleet to find out the situation." ”

"But the Supreme Council .......," the old fellow spoke again.

"The Speaker is young and ignorant, and the Grand Councillors are groggy and busy playing the game of kickball that they do best, and they can't see what's going on in the Earth Federation," the Prince roared through gritted teeth and red eyes, "It's an emergency wartime alert now, and we don't need to wait a month and a half before we give a belated order." The old stubborn kept his mouth shut, because the Minister of Finance finally secretly told him that the daughter of His Royal Highness, Princess Ciri, the second in line to the throne of the royal family, was still in the Earth Federation.

"Black Hand, you arrange, I need the fastest warship under your command," the prince instructed awe-inspiringly, "Investigate whether there are other anomalies in other star fields near the Federation Earth, and if there is any contact with an unknown warship, immediately seize it, no matter which enterprise or which ship of the Imperial fleet the other party is, if necessary, you can allow it to be destroyed." ”

"That's fine," the Black Hand hesitated, "but the Supreme Council ........ over there"

"I will personally meet the Emperor and explain the situation to him and my colleagues," the Prince said, turning his head to look at the Commander of the Fleet Defense, Deep Winter, and the heart of the sea. Leonar, "Let's go now." ”

Haixin. Leona nodded expressionlessly, "I will work with His Royal Highness the Prince to tell the Supreme Council truthfully." ”

At this time, Princess Ji Rui, who had always been full of worries, suddenly stood up, "I'll go with the Black Hand General." ”

"Ma'am........" Prince Parr almost thought he had misheard, "what did you just say.......

Ji Rui raised her head, her eyes were as gentle and firm as ever, "I hope to follow, as a member of the secretariat, I feel that I can help a little." ”

Pal. Valen's mouth opened, his face straight, unable to read his thoughts at the moment. "You're a member of the Supreme Development Council of the Gaia System, and your job is here, and," he said reluctantly, "no one can be sure what the situation is over there, how dangerous it is. ”

"A fleet usually needs the assistance and communication of the Secretariat," Ji Rui did not flinch in the slightest, "I think I'm just right, right, uncle." ”

The black hand touched his fat chin in embarrassment, and the flesh on his face unconsciously tensed, and he looked at his boss hesitantly. The prince was silent for a moment before he nodded slowly, "Black hand, do everything you can to ensure the safety of my wife." ”

The Black Hand nodded slowly, "Protect Lady Ji Rui to the death," he said sadly, "as long as you are willing to obey my commands." ”

Madame Ji Rui looked at him apologetically, "Of course, General, you are my dearest uncle, and you know that I have always been obedient. ”

"The meeting is dissolved," the Prince finally announced, and my wife and I had something to say. “

All the leaders of the fleet retreated one by one, leaving only him and Ji Rui to look at each other.

"How can you be so reckless, Ji Rui." He was half reproaching and half complaining, like an abandoned child, "What can you do when you go?" ”

Ji Rui didn't hug him as usual, in the past, when it came to the moment of dispute between them, she would always be the first to let go of her temperament, speak softly to him, and let him indulge in tenderness, but now, .......

There was no concession in her dark golden eyes, "Xirui is there," she always called her precious daughter Xirui, as she had always loved her, "You have to explain to the Supreme Council that you can't get out, and it's not fair to let me out, Parr, you can't convince me today." ”

The prince stared at his lover, who had always been as persistent as she had been twenty years ago, without the slightest change, which reminded him of her sixteen years ago, and that time as well. They were exploring in aliens, facing the endless mountains and seas of Corolla, the land of a thousand peaks, the canyon and the deep stream, the high cliffs and the fog in between, she was just half a month pregnant with Ciri at that time, and she was not in a very good mood, but she insisted on going to the land of a thousand peaks, because she believed that the land of a thousand peaks was the holy place of the love of the Mother of the Galaxy, where love could be blessed, and the same was true for unborn children. She insisted on going to the highest mountain to be baptized by the Milky Way, and nine months later, little Ciri was born there, and the Virgin was pitying, and her daughter was a maddeningly cute little thing, shrewd and strong, of the purest Valian blood, with silver hair even purer than the current emperor, and eyes shining like the stars of the fortress of freedom, and she was a godsend, which once convinced the unbelieving Parr that she was blessed by the gods.

But....... Our Lady would never favor a pious person for no reason just because she went to the Land of a Thousand Peaks, could it be that what happened now is another "gift" after Our Lady's mercy?

He hugged his wife and whispered, "My love, when I explain the situation to the Supreme Council, I will go in person and wait for me, okay?" ”

"Never," Ji Rui pushed him away, she looked at her husband, "I've always loved Xirui, Parr, just think it's for me, let me go, don't force me." ”

You're pushing me! He took a deep breath, "What should I do with you?" ”

"Let me lead a fleet," Ji Rui suddenly stepped forward and kissed her husband deeply, "I'll bring Xi Rui back." She kissed her husband affectionately, wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders and stroked his silver hair, and after a few moments, Prince Parr could clearly feel the tears on her face.

"What else can I say?" He sighed and let go of his wife, "If you really want to go, you must obey the orders of the black hand." ”

"Don't worry, my uncle looks reckless, but he is more delicate than you and me, and I'm not a little girl, how can I be stupid enough not to listen to his opinion?"

Opinion? Not an order? Prince Parr only felt a little uneasy, but now, he couldn't go back on his words, "If it's a ghost ........ the Lothar Federation secretly did"

Ji Rui and her husband smiled at each other, "Run!" I'm just an ordinary woman, how dare I stay when I can't even stand up to a big man like my uncle? But........" she stared gloomily into the distance, "they didn't mention anything about Xirui in their messages, only that they couldn't contact her, and that she was so young that I was afraid ........," she said, tears rolling down her thin pale cheeks like droplets, "She's never seen anything like that, Our Lady is above." ”

"She's smart and strong," although it's a bit too much to describe her daughter like that, but she does inherit Valyen's innate extraordinary, no Valian can be stronger than her, which is why she can surpass the other heirs of the current emperor and be listed as the second in line to the throne, she is pure Valyen blood, "I think, she will always have her own way, Ji Rui, this is the test of the Virgin, we just have to pray for her." He didn't believe in such a vain thing as the Galactic Mother, but for now, he could only comfort his pious wife, "Pray for her, and pray for us, that we can successfully complete each other's trials." ”

They embraced each other and were speechless for a long time.

"May the Mother of the Galaxy bless ......," a low, soft murmur sounded between the two.
