Chapter 227
Louis's firm answer made Asus' eyes darken.
Power and status, what does he want these for?
From the beginning to the end, all he wanted was her!
The curve of Asus' lips faded, and in the night, his pale handsome face was as gloomy as a demon from hell, and murderous intent surged around him.
He held the gun, the black muzzle pointed at Louis' arm, "If she can't, then you can make it up to me with your right hand!"
However, even with the gun pointed at his right arm, Louis did not take a single step back.
Asus looked at Louis coldly, and the hand that was pulling the trigger finally stopped.
The corners of his lips were tightened into a straight line, veins bulged on his forehead, and finally, he just turned around dejectedly and silently and closed his eyes deeply.
Can all those who are favored be so fearless?
If he had really fired the gun just now and disabled Louis' right hand, it would only push the girl he loved further away.
He couldn't afford to gamble.
At this moment, even the hatred raging in Asus' chest became humble.
"You should be thankful that she likes and cares about you..."
Ash's voice was low and hoarse.
After saying that, he left without looking back.
The darkness swallowed up his lonely figure bit by bit until it disappeared——
At this time, the Queen, who was far away in the capital of the empire, had no idea what was happening on the Eighth Planet.
In her opinion, she was just abandoning a useless star and a group of insignificant people.
As for Shen Yinyin, she had already made a plan. Even if she was lucky enough not to die on the battlefield, she would arrange for someone to kill her on the way back to the fifth star!
Now that Shen Yinyin and her favorite male died on the eighth planet, it can be regarded as sacrificing their lives for the country, so she was spared from taking action.
But there has been no news about her Asus for many days. She doesn't know what to do to make him come back...
The queen gently stroked the portrait in her hand.
Three years ago, Asus was wearing a neat military uniform, standing next to the blooming roses, looking dazzling and handsome.
The queen was immersed in her memories when the oppressive sound of footsteps interrupted her thoughts.
"Edward?"
King Edward looked down at his queen Selina, his deep eyes like ice and snow in the dead of winter, cold and piercing, without any emotion.
He raised his hand, and the documents fluttered like white snowflakes, falling on the queen Selina.
Although Edward was not angry, Selina's heart still trembled at his humiliating behavior and his fierce and fierce look.
She glanced at the scattered documents, which clearly stated her tampering with the inhibitors and her abandonment of the order issued by the Eighth Star.
And more of it is filled with the countless bad things she has done over the years, either secretly or openly...
"Selina, I pretended to be ignorant of everything you did before, but this time, not only did you abandon the soldiers of the empire again, you even abandoned the empire's territory and planets!"
"In your eyes, is there anything that you cannot give up?"
Selena didn't think she did anything wrong.
What made her angry was not the evidence and Edward's accusations, but the other party's cold and disgusted look.
She sneered, still looking down on me: "Just because a bunch of insignificant people died, just because a useless star was lost, you treat me like this?!"
Edward looked even colder as he saw Selina still being aggressive.
"Irrelevant? Then is Asus three years ago also irrelevant to you?"
"Selina, if you hadn't insisted on ordering the imperial soldiers to abandon the front line three years ago, how could everything have turned out like this today!"
Selina's beautiful face, with the wound in her heart torn open, looked particularly hideous. She denied it in a sharp voice: "Are you blaming me?!"
"Obviously, all of this is the Zerg's fault! It's Louis' fault! It's the fault of those incompetent soldiers! But you're blaming me?!"
Edward's voice was cold and even a little sarcastic: "It's because you have been like this that Asus died..."
"No! Ashus is not dead!"
Edward looked at Selina, who had lost her composure, as if he were looking at a stranger: "No, he will die."
"I have asked Louis to take my death warrior token to erase his mistake. When Louis comes back, he will be the next crown prince."
Hearing this, Selena almost went crazy.
"Edward! Are you crazy? Asius is our child! The position of crown prince should be his. Don't you love him the most?!"
"It used to be..."
At this moment, Selina looked at Edward's expressionless face, as if she was back to many years ago when he looked at her with that indescribable indifference in his eyes.
She had seen the passionate and affectionate look in his eyes when he looked at that bitch, so she knew very well that he didn't love her.
She thought he had changed over the years.
But until now, she realized that he had never changed...
"Edward, I am your wife! The queen of the empire! Don't look at me like that!"
Edward didn't say anything, nor did he care about the queen's screams and pain.
He withdrew his gaze, not even willing to look at the other person again, and walked out without looking back.
Selina looked at Edward's back, her eyes red: "After so many years, you still can't forget that bitch, right!"
Edward paused, his voice cold: "You are not worthy to mention her!"
Outside the palace that was smashed into a mess, a palace servant lowered his head, hid in the darkness, and spread the content of the quarrel between the emperor and the empress.
Admiral O'Neill smiled when he received the message.
He knew more information than the emperor and empress, and that was why he could sit so steadily in the dark.
The emperor and empress were alienated, and the royal family was killing each other, but none of his chess pieces were lost, and the situation was becoming increasingly favorable to the rebel army.
But this was not enough. Looking at the secrets about the emperor and empress from more than 20 years ago in his hands, O'Neal's smile was gloomy.
"Selina, I'm giving you a great gift, you have to be able to accept it when the time comes..."
Late that night.
Shen Yinyin and her group rushed back to the Fifth Star overnight.
While everyone stayed in the manor to rest, Louis went to the palace at night to meet His Majesty.
When Edward heard that it was Asus who helped everyone escape from the encirclement of the insect army, his expression did not change much.
He looked at the death warrior token handed over by Louis and raised his hand to stop the palace servant from taking it.
Lewis raised his head, his expression heavy: “Father, why?”
Edward knew that Louis was asking him why he let them kill each other and why he had to kill Arthur.
why?
Because of the imperial power, because of the royal family's reputation, because of his disappointment...
He really loved the child Ashus in the past, because Ashus's wisteria-colored eyes were almost exactly the same as the girl he had loved deeply but lost when he was young.
But later, he found out he was wrong.
Some people are irreplaceable. Ashus has the same eyes as her, but his personality is completely different from hers.
He could accept that Asius was different, and he had accepted his fate, thinking that if he continued like this, he could forget about his regrets.
However, the queen became more and more extreme and selfish, which was far from his ideal image.
Her true nature has been revealed little by little over the past twenty years. Her greed seems to never stop, and she continues to squeeze the living space of males.
Stricter and harsher regulations, more ruthless and cruel methods, make her more and more unfamiliar, or perhaps this is what she really is like.
And Asius's "death" three years ago undoubtedly alienated him further from her.
What she cares about is not the imperial power or the empire, but her own absolute rights and interests as a female...
After a long silence, Edward looked at Louis who was kneeling below.
His least favorite child, on the contrary, already had the power and authority of an emperor.
He had seen Louis's young wife. She was stunningly beautiful and a very special female, so special that...
He could always find the innocence and kindness of his lover in her, and he also wanted to change everything.
But his lover did not have her outstanding abilities, her prominent status, or her numerous supporters and followers.
His only lover was this incompetent prince who had no say in his own affairs and was forced to be matched with him like a beast of burden.
At this moment, the majestic and indifferent emperor showed a bit of fatigue and vicissitudes in the dim light and shadow, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes seemed to deepen.
He thought, at least his son was braver and luckier than him.
When Edward spoke again, his cold voice had a hint of warmth for the first time—
"Louis, you don't have to return this death warrior token. You will still be the crown prince of the empire..."
