MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 93

On January 1, 1129 of the galactic calendar, the young emperor of the Golden Empire, Soran II, who just took control of the imperial power of the empire at the end of the year, Soran Edrich, at the beginning of the new year, issued the first order after he ascended the throne. The decree abandoned the practice of rebuilding the central palace of Ivan Palace, the capital of the empire, and chose the East Palace of Ivan Palace, which was idle during the period of Heni III, as the center of imperial power. The new emperor will work and rest in this palace, which can be described as simple and simple. The imperial family did not say a word about this, just waiting for the new emperor's coronation celebration to return to their respective leaders, except for Haran? Edrich, the royal children in the imperial army, members of the Edrich family are more willing to live a stable life in their leading stars, rather than being mixed into the complicated court power struggle and imperial affairs. The members of the royal family who have been able to stand firm after thousands of years, naturally would not be short-sighted to think that the new emperor Soran Edrich would be as mediocre as the old emperor Heine III.

The beauty and strength of the new emperor perfectly created the new ruler and dictator of the empire. Apart from being too indifferent, Soran Edrich could hardly find any flaws in him.

Neither the aristocrats at the top of the empire nor the people at the bottom can deny this.

Because the Empress Dowager Yilan, who was stranded in the capital during the celebration, was proud of her son, but also had a lot of troubles. You can get a glimpse of it from the noble ladies who come to visit every day.

Yes, possessing the largest territory in the universe, the emperor who is only twenty-five years old, Soran Edrich has never been married, and has never shown any appreciation to any noble lady or young man. As the ruler of a huge empire, it is impossible for him to be single all the time. After the coronation ceremony, the Empress Dowager Yilan must immediately go to live in her leading star, which makes the empress dowager's anxiety continue to deepen.

Out of prudence and various reasons, the queen dowager did not show these anxieties, and she also maintained good manners and royal upbringing for the guests who came to visit, but ignored the overly blatant hints.

Finally, a few days before the coronation ceremony was about to end, Empress Dowager Yilan expressed that she would have a detailed discussion with the new emperor. Soran Edrich did not refuse and could not refuse. Empress Dowager Yilan was his mother after all.

"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for you in the East Palace."

Empress Dowager Yilan walked into the room. In her eyes, it was more like a military office that had nothing to do with luxury! Not the emperor's palace! In the spacious interior, the four-cornered pillars are engraved with the emblem pattern representing the royal family, which is found in all the rooms of the Ivan Summer Palace. Although the interior furniture is made of exquisite materials, compared with the era of Heiny III, there is nothing to praise. , In addition to durability, Empress Dowager Yilan can't find any more advantages. There are no decorative frescoes on the three walls, and only one wall hangs the royal emblem and military flag of the Golden Empire, as well as the portrait of the new emperor under the military uniform. It only added a little royal majesty and oppression to the whole room.

In this regard, Empress Dowager Yilan once expressed her dissatisfaction, and Emperor Solan Edrich was still me. The new emperor is obviously not interested in the luxury and complexity of Ivan's summer palace, but pays more attention to efficiency and practicality. This may have a lot to do with Soran Edrich's years in the fleet. The Minister of Finance and Chancellor of the Empire are very satisfied with the diligence and simplicity of the new emperor, but the old-fashioned nobles are privately discussing that Soran Edrich does not conform to the military style of the royal nobles. The Imperial Fleet was more eager to discuss when the new emperor would once again sound the horn of war and issue the order of conquest. After all, the oath of the coronation of Soran Edrich was still fresh in the memory of the people in the Empire.

"His Majesty."

"Mother, you don't have to be so polite."

Soran Edrich had all the qualities to control the imperial power and the dictator, but he did not want his mother to show respect with a humble attitude. She did not need to show respect for her son in an external form. The most powerful woman in the empire to this day is still his mother after all.

"Your Majesty, this interview is not only as the empress dowager of the empire, but also as a mother..."

Outside the room, the royal servants respectfully invited Harlan who came to see him? Edrich went to the reception room to the side and waited for a while. In this reception room, Admiral Ida, who had returned from the rebellion, and Lieutenant General Metz, who was summoned by Soran Edrich, were also waiting. The Queen Mother Lan left earlier.

"His Royal Highness Harlan."

The serious Admiral Ida is meticulous in his work habits, but Lieutenant General Metz has a cheerful personality. The two have followed the new emperor since Soran Edrich first boarded the battleship of the Imperial Fleet. Their status , The record is closely following the success of Soran Edrich. As a member of the Edrich royal family, Harlan can only be equal to the two due to his great achievements. For the success of the two, in addition to admiration, there are still a lot of jealous people. However, so far, apart from the outstanding generals, no young man of the same age has surpassed them.

Harlan? After a brief greeting with the two of them, Edrich sat down. The court attendant had already prepared black tea. The delicate cakes and fruits in beautiful patterns in front of him seemed to suit Lieutenant General Metz's appetite. Harlan lacked interest.

"How long have you been waiting?"

Harlan asked casually, knowing that the emperor was talking with the empress dowager, Harlan was ready to wait for the Chinese meal.

"Twenty minutes, it is estimated that it will take at least the same amount of time." Admiral Ida's answer was still rigid.

Lieutenant General Metz turned his attention away from the fruit and turned his eyes to Harlan, "His Royal Highness, what did Your Majesty send you to do this time? You didn't even have time to attend His Majesty's coronation ceremony."

"If Your Excellency calls me Harlan, I will be more than happy to answer your questions."

Harlan picked up the black tea, the mellow aroma, definitely added milk and spices, frowned, and put down the teacup.

"Just went to blow up a space fortress and brought back a gift."

"Ah, sure enough."

Lieutenant General Metz exchanged glances with Admiral Ida, and he had come to a conclusion about the destination of Harlan's trip. However, Admiral Date does not seem satisfied with this conclusion.

"That galaxy on the border?"

"Yes."

"His Majesty seems to care a little too much about that galaxy."

"so what?"

Harlan smiled, Metz put one arm on Ida's shoulder, blinked, and said: "If Your Majesty cares, then destroy that galaxy, or attack it, leave the galaxy, and kill all there. People. What an easy choice."

Date held his forehead helplessly, this simple-minded guy full of laser cannons and particle cannons!

It took a little longer than Admiral Ida had expected. The Empress Dowager Yilan left the room with a frosty face. Seeing the three of them approaching Harlan, her icy gaze swept over the three of them, and her critical gaze swept over them one by one. , until the three battle-hardened generals were seen stiff and their hairs stood on end, before they snorted, raised their heads arrogantly, and left over the three.

"What's wrong?" Metz patted his chest exaggeratedly. "It can make the noble Queen Mother abandon the upbringing of the royal family with such a cold attitude, Harlan, did you offend her?"

"No." Harlan shook his head and gestured to Metz, "It's probably Your Majesty."

"Oh, no wonder." Metz agreed: "It seems that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't plan to find an empress for the time being. It's a pity that the empress will have a headache for a long time."

"Mez, that's His Majesty's mother."

Admiral Ida glared at Metz, and this expression would appear on Ida's face, causing Harlan and Metz to shout miracles at the same time.

Soran Edrich only summoned Lieutenant General Metz, and General Harlan and Admiral Ida returned to return. Soran Edrich didn't pay too much attention to the results of the two men. Harlan's battle this time was purely on his whim. Here, it is for the two star systems on the border of the imperial fleet to join forces in a rebellion when the power of the empire alternates.

"Destroy them."

Soran Edrich's orders were simple and cruel, but Lieutenant General Metz was happy to accept them. The rebels are not just one or two planets, but two galaxies. The huge territory of the empire has given too much power to the governors of the border galaxies. Some of them obviously have ambitions that should not exist. The rebellion just gave Soran Edrich an excuse to deliver to his door, and he could thoroughly clean up the malpractices and worms left by Hainy III during his reign. However, such large-scale turmoil also laid hidden dangers for Soran Edrich's ruling.

Lieutenant General Metz left, and Ida and Harlan were given new appointments.

The transformation from the first prince of the empire to the emperor is not just a name. As the ruler of a huge empire, Soran Edrich will inevitably transfer more energy to the government affairs of the empire. Then, for the imperial fleet, then There must be someone reliable to help Soran Edrich take control. Harlan and Ida are good candidates.

Harlan and Ida did not disagree with the emperor's order. Just before leaving, Harlan said to Soran Edrich quite mysteriously: "Your Majesty, there will be a gift for you later, brought back from a distant galaxy, I hope you will like it."

Gift?

Soran Edrich raised his eyebrows, not ignoring the ambiguity in Harlan's mysterious tone.

A quarter of an hour later, Harlan's gift arrived in front of Soran Edrich.

Soran Edrich narrowed his eyes as the three squires came in with a birdcage tightly wrapped in expensive silk.

"A bird? Or an animal?"

"His Royal Highness Harlan said, you can judge for yourself after reading it, Your Majesty."

The attendant respectfully put down the absurdly large birdcage. Before sending it, he had done a very careful inspection and scan of the gift. Except for frowning at the gift in the cage, this gift can be judged. is harmless.

Soran Edrich waved his hand, and the attendant retired respectfully, leaving only the confused young emperor and the silk-wrapped cage in the room.

Finally, youthful curiosity still prevailed, Soran Edrich walked closer, bent down slightly, his long silver star-like hair slid down his shoulders, and his long white fingers grabbed the silk rope, the jewel The rope buckle was untied, and the luxurious silk fell slowly, revealing the whole picture of the gift.

A birdcage made of gold, gems and diamonds are set on the round base of the cage, which is covered with purple silk and soft pillows. A black-haired teenager is quietly lying prone in the cage, a white robe wraps the boy's body, exquisite A thin chain, also made of gold, was attached to one of the cage's rails from his ankles.

The boy fell asleep, breathing lightly, and his black hair spread out on the purple and golden beauty, like a forbidden oil painting, displayed in front of the young emperor.
