"Back to Your Highness, the mission has failed."

This is the eighth fleet sent by Ismail, a month after the assassination of the Empire's First Admiral Heather at a banquet, and the mysterious disappearance of her body the next day, as her only close brother, he risked exile to send a fleet to find her whereabouts, all of which ended in a failed mission.

And now, the Diamond Fortress has been completely sealed, and His Majesty has personally ordered that the people of the whole empire are not allowed to mention Heather's name again.

In front of him was his private fleet and Heather's old Rose Twelve, and behind him was the royal fleet that was in full formation, and the heavily armed commander commanded the guns in unison and pointed at him, looking nervous.

His majestic voice that could not be refused came from the radio: "Your Highness, have you really considered making enemies of the Empire for a traitor?"

The sixth prince, who was also excellent, played out his infamous nature, showed a cynical smile at the chief, and then hooked a chair from the side, slowly rolled up his sleeves and poured himself a cup of coffee, his terminal was clearly extinguished, and he didn't know who he was talking to.

Lena, the leader of the Twelve Guards, was in a tight position and said loudly: "She is not only an imperial general, but also the nine princesses of the empire, and she should not be so rashly angry with others, not to mention that the general's charges have not been proven, doing so will only arouse public anger."

Lena has been with Heather for ten years, and is her most trusted personal guard, and the Twelve Guards were established by them, although there are only a thousand people, but they can be released with one enemy and a hundred, and their faith is only Heather alone.

With royal security tight, and the fact that the other party was able to poison Heather accurately from the repeated inspections, and quickly label her with treason after the accident, it was hard for her not to think that the royal family had been prepared, or that they had done it on purpose.

With such careful planning, they could hear Heather's last words, let alone the body.

Although he had exchanged information with Ismail for the first time, he still couldn't stop the disappearance of Heather's body.

Maybe it's missing, maybe it's destroyed, or maybe she's not dead at all?

They had no choice but to follow the grapevine to rule out one by one, and according to the royal family, a group of interstellar pirates had stolen the princess's body that night.

But Lena scoffs at it.

The royal captain was ruthless: "Sixth Prince Ismail and his subordinates, ask you again, do you confirm that you are enemies of the Empire?"

It is normal to search for the whereabouts of traitors without permission, even if it is a corpse, and to be regarded as a colleague.

"We are loyal only to the Admiral." Lena remembered what Heather had been teaching, and after a pause, she added to Ismail, "And has no intention of being an enemy of the Empire."

They can, but Ismail is the favourite to be the next person in power, and he must not let anything happen at this juncture.

Now that the technology has no need to open the mouth at all, the star network will capture the brain waves and transmit them to the other side, as for the voice or the image, you can choose by yourself, at this time, Ismail stared at the middle-aged man in front of him who was the only one who could see and was silent.

It was their Majesty, and his father, the Empire's decisive and notorious Emperor.

"Don't even recognize the identity of your daughter?"

His Majesty's face was an unchanged expression: "Political unrelated, Heather and the Zerg have a private alliance, which has harmed the interests of the Skedon Empire, and she has been removed."

Ismail's eyes darkened, and he smiled, "I see, Father."

The cold-bloodedness of the empire, didn't he already know about it? They are all Skaden's pawns, nobles when they need it, and discarded when they don't.

Ismail is not an orthodox prince either, his mother was a lady-in-waiting for the former queen, and was favored to give birth to him because of her good looks, but the emperor will not care about such trivial matters, and after his mother was targeted and died, he himself struggled.

If it weren't for Heather, who was the same age later, was brought in and they snuggled up to each other, I'm afraid he wouldn't be alive now.

It is said that Heather's biological mother was also a peasant girl from a down-and-out planet, and when Heather was twelve years old, she awakened her super S-class spiritual power, and her huge potential made the emperor spend a lot of effort to bring her back.

She lived up to expectations and rejuvenated the decaying empire under the guidance of her teacher, and then the empire no longer needed her, and she was saddled with these false accusations.

Ismail withdrew his gaze from the face that had caused their unfortunate life, hid his emotions, and bowed respectfully.

Real-time footage of the palace is looped on the screen in Leiden Square, the capital of the Imperial Star, as they celebrate the newly appointed admiral all night long.

The holographic projection is beautiful in the square, and the residents are dancing along.

Ismail looked down from the tower: "They don't seem to remember who brought the life they can sing and dance here."

Lena's expression darkened for a moment: "Not asking for anything in return is exactly what we were trying to do."

"Really?" Ismail asked rhetorically, as if asking himself.

Lena looked at the high-spirited man on the screen, and said expressionlessly: "Joshua, the admiral's former deputy, is the illegitimate son of the Minister of Imperial Armaments, and was violently beaten out of the door when he confessed to his mother, and his mother was picked up by the admiral after her death, and she went from a non-commissioned officer to a deputy."

"Now it's the Admiral." Ismail tapped the glass with his knuckles, stared at the picture of the new general and his "biological father" smiling, and said, "She really loves to pick up garbage."

Xie Mimi, who was far away, sneeze inexplicably.

Lena agreed with this, but couldn't show it on her face, and only nodded slightly.

When Ismail saw that she did not speak, he said, "What do you think of Joshua the man?"

Lena: "Very capable and very good at judging the situation."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risen all the way so quickly, although he felt cold, but he had to admit that he had his own unique views on military affairs, and it was a desperate struggle to learn all aspects.

To put it bluntly, it is ambition.

The Rose XII was Heather's private fleet, and was not in contact with other units, but had heard of him, and Heather wanted to train him to be her successor.

At that time, Joshua did not see the wolf's ambition at all.

Ismail smiled playfully and wrote lightly, "Guess who tampered with her communication records with the Zerg?" Or, forgery? ”

There is only one topic that holds them together, and she is of course referring to Heather here.

Lena's eyes widened, as if she had been hit by a boulder, and she couldn't move.

Ismail didn't remind her of his intentions, his hand lay weakly on the group of people enjoying bliss, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

I want you to pay for your lives.
