The answer is yes, not no.

After weighing the pros and cons, Vega realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It's better to say that Vega was desperately brushing up on favorability with this idea in mind.

Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and if there is this banner of 'orthodoxy and righteousness', then everything will be solved, although it will make Vega lose the power that the empire runs.

But it's not completely irretrievable.

Vega replied earnestly to Thea: "If you don't give up, the lower official is willing to marry you, it's better to say, this is what I have always wanted to say, but I don't have the courage to express it." ”

Thea's frustrated expression instantly warmed up.

Her sparkling eyes widened, "General Vega, you...... Are you really willing to betray the empire for me, pledge allegiance to me, and become His Royal Highness the Prince of the Holy Dynasty?"

"The lower official is willing. ”

Vega affirmed again: "But please don't announce this news to the public for the time being, and your majesty can swear to you that for the sake of Your Highness, I will definitely drive out the invading army of the kingdom and propose to you openly and honestly after unifying the Holy Dynasty." ”

Vega looked at Thea expectantly.

This is the only way to get the best of both worlds, not only to temporarily gain Xiya's 100% trust and indirectly hold the banner of righteousness and orthodoxy in his hands, but also to temporarily not lose the command and status of the imperial army.

However, this matter still needs to be seen in Thea's answer.

If Thea asks him to leave the empire now and announce the news, then Vega will have to do the same, and Vega will have to do the same, and Vega will be able to distinguish which is more important. The rules of the game at the top of the empire have been formed, the upside is limited, the dynasty is broken and established, and the potential is certainly immeasurable.

Thea did not disappoint Vega.

Although she wanted to let the joy in her heart know to the whole dynasty, she knew that she had to endure it now, these days, she was no longer ignorant of anything, and a little wayward Her Royal Highness the princess of the dynasty.

So she nodded and replied, "Well, General Vega, Thea is looking forward to that day. ”

With that, Thea stepped forward.

She took off the pendant on her chest that was as gorgeous as a nebula and placed it in the palm of Vega's hand: "General Vega, Thea has nothing else of value on her, so I will give this pendant that I have carried since childhood to you as a token, I hope the general will not forget the oath he made tonight." ”

Xia Guan took it to heart. ”

At this moment, Vega has an urge to cry, of course, it is not because he was moved by Thea's true feelings and cried, in the end, Vega just wants to use Thea's orthodox reputation, and it is unknown how much true affection is mixed with it.

What Vega was truly touched by was that he had finally received the elixir of awakening that he had always dreamed of.

How many months?

More than a year, more than half a year.

It wasn't until today that he regained possession of a bottle of Awakening Elixir.

If it weren't for Thea's presence, Vega would have wanted to smash the pendant now, drink the awakening potion, and let himself officially enter the realm of the next professional. What Carol, what star magician...... Well, let's put the star position first, and it will probably be easy to defeat Carol.

Just as Vega was intoxicated with the pendant in the palm of his hand.

A warm sensation travels from the lips to the brain......

Thea kissed Vega lightly on the lips.

However, this kiss was separated with just a light touch, and Xiya's eyes were a little timid: "This is the etiquette of the royal family's engagement, and I am very sorry to do this without your consent......"

After saying that, Thea said goodnight shyly and hurried into her tent.

What about Vega at this time?

He was thinking about whether this matter would be considered early love if it was to be put down on the earth.

————

Vega didn't end up smashing the pendant.

Because there is no time for him to advance now, and rashly smashing the crystal pendant, it is very likely that some awakening potions will be wasted, and these things will still wait for Saint Laurent to find a professional.

So in the evening of the next day, Vega and Thea returned to the city of Saint-Laurent.

Their return did not alarm anyone.

Because Vega had given a gag order, the two of them only sneaked into the city in order to prevent the civilians and the army from knowing that he and Thea had been away from Saint Laurent for more than a month.

As soon as he stepped into the city, Vega felt a different atmosphere.

First of all, the potholed terrain near the city walls, the strong smell of blood could not be dissipated for a long time.

The second is that the Imperial soldiers are listless and desperate, compared to Vega before leaving, and the sharp momentum disappears into invisibility.

Walking near the Imperial troops, Vega could faintly hear their conversation.

"You say, is the general really in retreat and cultivating?"

"No, I got the news that the general had been assassinated and was dying. ”

"But how did I hear that the general was using us to attract the attention of the kingdom army, and he secretly crossed the river to escape. ”

"I've heard about it, too. ”

"I don't believe it, how could the general abandon us?"

“......”

After listening to these rumors, Vega was glad that he had returned in time, if these rumors were allowed to ferment, once the army's morale was shaken, Saint Laurent City might not be able to resist the next attack of the kingdom army.

And not just soldiers of the Empire.

Vega and Xiya continued to walk forward, and when they came to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion, he was shocked to find that the army of Dynasty recruits who had been recruited in Shenghui City had already struck, and they actually surrounded the City Lord's Mansion to ask to see Princess Xiya.

In addition to these recruits, there are also civilians.

Some of the agitated civilians even threw stones at the Imperial soldiers guarding the city lord's mansion, and the Imperial soldiers were also angry and wanted to pick up their spears and stab the perpetrator, but they seemed to think of something and fell silent again.

In the end, he had no choice but to close the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing this, Thea was about to lift her hat and explain a thing or two, but was stopped by Vega in time.

He shook his head at Thea and said, "Your Highness, please be calm, the time has not yet come." ”

"Well, I listen to you, General. Thea nodded obediently.

So when it was almost dark, Vega took Thea into the city lord's mansion, and now he couldn't wait to meet the officers and adjutant Iro, and the head of the navy, Menno.

Although it is normal for a long time to mutiny.

But under the control of public opinion, no one will dare to attack the soldiers of the Empire, and at best it will only become panicked.

The situation is different now.

Vega realized that the atmosphere in the city was definitely guided by some people, and this eventually happened.

Outside first settles inside.

Vega squinted, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to take a good look at who was holding him back.

Maybe you can take this opportunity to erase all the discordant voices hidden in the depths.

Therefore, Vega dismissed the idea of meeting with all the officers, and met with the adjutant Ilo alone, after settling Xia. Vega only ordered Mennono, the head of the navy, to come to meet him, and none of the core officers who knew the inside story were called.

Vega had already begun to doubt.

There must be ghosts in the city who are dragging their feet and even want to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power.
