Chapter 107: The Earl's Death
Hearing Xin Ziyan say this, a hint of surprise flashed in Catherine's eyes, but because of her father's current appearance, it quickly became dim again.
The old Earl Kate, who has grown old, still doesn't know what happened. So, he said slowly:
"Catherine, come here! Let the Father touch your head! Look at how many years you've been wild, and your brain has become a little brighter, hehe. ”
Xin Ziyan didn't bother with the reunion of father and daughter who hadn't seen each other for a long time at this moment, just watched this scene quietly. What happened to the old Earl Kate also set off huge waves in Xin Ziyan's heart.
There is no need to think about this kind of thing, and the culprits are his second daughter Gloria and the most trusted former butler, Lord Milito. And His Majesty the Emperor of the Protoss Empire...
Because the old Earl Kate's family power is too strong in the Galactic Empire, he is an old man who has taken refuge in the Emperor of the Protoss Empire since he was a princess, and he has a wide range of friends. After His Majesty Emperor Alashina succeeded to the throne, this kind of rabbit and dog cooking was not less. Therefore, it is not that the imperial doctors are incompetent, but that His Majesty the Emperor wants to borrow a knife to kill people.
The old Earl Kate had not yet mentioned this to Catherine. Because, now he and Catherine are in Odin, the imperial capital of the Protoss Empire, once this kind of thing spreads. The two of them will definitely not see the sun tomorrow.
This is the cruelty of the palace struggle, and what happened to the old Earl Kate was not the closest to him. Such a lesson from the past, Xin Ziyan deeply remembered in his heart that in the future, himself
It's better to be careful with the people around you.
"Catherine, I want to go to the garden to have a look, I haven't seen Kate's garden for a long time, I don't know if the flowers and plants I planted are okay." Old Earl Kate said.
Catherine didn't do it right away, but turned her head to look at Xin Ziyan. Seeing him nod, she shouted:
"Someone!"
The leader of the Praetorian Guard Squad, who was on duty at the door, heard Catherine's call and immediately led someone into the room.
When I saw the old Earl Kate, who had come to his senses, I was very surprised. But soon he adjusted his mentality and said:
"Hello old earl! I was really surprised and happy to see you wake up! Then he turned his head and said:
"Count Momiji, what are your orders!"
"Help me get a trolley. I'm going to take my father to the garden, and you're in charge of the guards. Except for Baron Orlando, all other idlers were not allowed to approach. Catherine said.
"Yes! The little ones will do it right away! The captain of the escort team said.
………
After a while, the captain of the Forbidden Army came over with a cart and escorted them to the garden of Earl Kate's mansion.
At the same time, Elizabeth also knew about the awakening of the old Earl Kate, and she was now very frightened. I'm afraid that the old Earl Kate will say something that will make her doomed.
Therefore, she immediately went to the gate of the garden with Lord Milito, wanting to meet the old Count Kate, but they were blocked by the Praetorian Guards sent by Fiat, the second prince of the Protoss Empire, to protect Catherine.
"What do you mean by that?! I'm Count Kate's daughter Goliath representative, old Count Kate woke up, why can't I see it?! Elizabeth shouted at the garden gate.
The captain of the guard forbidden army squad said disdainfully:
"Elizabeth, do you want to go against His Royal Highness Prince Fiat and the Imperial Prime Minister Lord Qiu?"
"It's... This...... Your Majesty doesn't dare! Elizabeth couldn't say. She was just a little earl's butler, and she didn't dare to really anger the second prince Fiat and the prime minister Qiu Haishan, because the consequences were unimaginable.
"Count you as acquaintances!" The Captain of the Praetorian Guard said with disdain.
In fact, the matter of the old Earl Kate is not news among the nobles of the Galactic Empire. Because two years ago, the old Earl Kate, who had always been in good health, suddenly fell ill and was paralyzed in bed, unconscious.
Such melons have long been eaten privately by other nobles and commoners of the Protoss Empire. Commoners didn't dare to say it, because it was a big sin for commoners to talk about nobles in the Protoss Empire.
And the nobles, after considering the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor of the Protoss, did not dare to say anything. Therefore, the matter of the real power of the Protoss Empire, the old Earl Kate, who suddenly fell ill and fell, became like this.
Catherine pushed the old Earl Kate, who was already covered with a blanket, and went to the family garden. Xin Ziyan followed by his side.
"The flowers and plants here are still as beautiful as before!" Old Earl Kate said.
"Yes! Father! It's taken care of every day! Catherine said.
The old Earl Kate did not continue to speak to Catherine, but said to Orlando, who was incarnated by Xin Ziyan:
"Orlando Kid! You've become Catherine's husband, and I don't even know your name! ”
"My name is Orlando!" Xin Ziyan did not dare to tell the truth. Because he didn't know if the wall had ears. Kroll is not omnipotent, he still has to be careful.
"Excellent! Since you can revive me, it seems that you are also a character! Catherine has already told me about my situation just now.
The old man has galloped all his life, and he has already looked down on life and death! I just didn't expect that I would end up like this!
Promise me one thing, you will take good care of Catherine in the future, and it is best to take her away from the Galactic Empire! Said the old Earl Kate.
Hearing the old Earl Kate say this, Xin Ziyan and Catherine were shocked.
Xin Ziyan asked:
"Father! How do you know that I'm not a true cronie of the Protoss Empire? ”
"Your name is a direct descendant of Calent, otherwise, the title Orlando has means in this universe, and it can only be the Kalents of the Golden Delta Star Domain. When the old man was young, he once had a little friendship with a level 6 cosmic pirate named Odom. I don't know who he is? Said the old Earl Kate.
"He's me" uncle! Xin Ziyan said.
"Sure enough!! Odom used to be a good pharmacist, but it was because he was framed that he almost died in the Galactic Empire. At that time, I saved him once, and I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. The old Earl Kate continued.
Hearing the old Earl Kate say this, Xin Ziyan understood why when he and Catherine went to persuade Odom, Odom had not expressed his position at first. As soon as it was mentioned later, after Catherine was the eldest daughter of the old Earl Kate, Odom's attitude immediately changed, and it turned out that it was for this reason.
"My "uncle" Odom is now a level 8 cosmic pirate. I didn't think the world was so small! Xin Ziyan said.
"It's all a cycle of cause and effect, I saved him back then, and now his nephew is my son-in-law. Perhaps, in the dark, these are already predestined. Don't talk about this, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to talk about it. Orlando, how much time do I have left?! Said the old Earl Kate.
Xin Ziyan estimated in his heart, and then said:
"More than 2 hours at most! You're draining too much energy right now! ”
"Hmmm! Faster than expected! Looks like I'm going to have to take some time to get something done, Catherine, did you bring a portable brain? Old Earl Kate asked.
"Bring it! Father ...... "Catherine didn't talk much at this time, but she had already cried into tears."
"What are you crying about!! Quick, dial 3374VFG......" Earl Kate said a number.
Catherine hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then dialed the number that the old Earl Kate said, and soon, a figure appeared in the small holographic projection screen that was opened above the miniature brain.
Xin Ziyan and Catherine looked at each other, they were acquaintances, wasn't this the Marquis of Martin Rith?
Marquis Martinris, looking at the holographic projection screen, the old Earl Kate, who was almost at the end, said slowly:
"Old Kate, I didn't expect that you could call this number to find me in person!"
"Martin! My business, I think you already know. I need your help! Said the old Earl Kate.
"What's the matter! Let's get straight ahead! The Marquis of Martin Reis said without nonsense.
"Two years ago, I remember that you were the leader of the Imperial Guard. Are the Praetorian Guards of the Imperial Capital still under your command? Old Earl Kate asked.
"Yes!" Marquis Martin Reis said.
"I want you to give Catherine and Orlando a chance to send out of the Empire! This is the last request I will make to you in my life, can I do it? ”
"Yes!" Marquis Martinreth said directly.
"I'll record a video in a while, and you can copy it and show it to your old friends. You know how to do it. Said the old Earl Kate.
"Good!"
………
Half an hour later, this brain-brain communication with the Marquis of Martin Rith ended.
The old Earl Kate, who had just finished talking with the Marquis of Martinris, said to Catherine:
"In these final moments, arrange one last bit of things for the Father for you and Orlando. The Imperial Capital Dream City, it must not be able to stay for a long time, Catherine, you and Orlando can return to the Golden Triangle Star Field, and you can go anywhere.
It's not that I don't want to punish Elizabeth for doing this, but she's also my daughter after all. If I do that, the entire Kate family will be in my hands.
So, Catherine, you have to understand your father's difficulties. Today, I won't see her. ”
"I understand!" Catherine said.
"Orlando, you must help me take care of Catherine!" Old Earl Kate looked at Xin Ziyan and said.
"Definitely! Father-in-law! Xin Ziyan replied firmly.
"Excellent! Then Catherine will talk to her father for the last time! Said the old Earl Kate.
"Yes! Father! Catherine said with tears streaming down her face.
In the afternoon, the warm sun shone on the old face of the old Earl Kate. A generation of heroes of the Protoss Empire, with a smile on his face, holding Catherine's hand in one hand and Xin Ziyan's hand in the other, walked away like this...
The world is ever-changing, and in this world, nothing is impossible!
