Pushing open the door, the atmosphere inside the door was quiet and solemn. Lucy saw a figure standing with his back facing her beside the long and narrow window. That was the Emperor of Adahua Planet, her father, Orfasis, who had the title of King of Justice.
This figure was once majestic and noble, but now it carried a hint of desolation. Lucy's heart suddenly trembled. It turned out that her domineering father had unknowingly grown old.
He turned around and a smile split open on Orfasis's tired face, "You're here, child."
Lucy bowed slightly and walked over. "Father, did the meeting not go well?"
Orfasis sighed and said, "The situation on Earth is worse than I thought. The Kidds are actually participating in the war. The Duke is not doing very well over there. Marquis Rowan actually proposed to withdraw his troops at today's meeting. The reason is that the Kidds' participation in the war exceeds our previous estimates. I'm afraid it will bring us unnecessary losses. "
"Withdraw? How can that be? "Lucy whispered.
Orfasis snorted, "Of course not. Once we withdraw, what will the entire Alliance think of us? So I rejected this on the spot." Therefore, the only two options left were to maintain the original state and increase the investment of troops. Let's not talk about the former. As for the latter. At present, our troop allocation is basically saturated. Apart from maintaining the interstellar defense line and the safety of the Garter Domain, only the troops of our mother planet can be drawn.
”
"But once we transfer the troops of our mother planet, our defenses will inevitably decline."
"That's right, that's also why Rowan and the others are so opposed. But they didn't think that the longer Earth drags on, the more we will consume. " Orfasis waved his hand and smiled, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's leave this problem to the table. Let's talk about you. You're in such a hurry to see me. Is there a breakthrough in the problem of the Son of Dusk? "
Lucy smiled bitterly and said, "Our scholars have been studying the problem of the Son of Dusk for so long, so how can I solve it so easily? But I've found some clues and want to go to a planet for myself. "
"Don't tell me you're taking the opportunity to see him?" Orfasis half-joked and asked, "Which planet are you going to?"
"Mubeth Star Zone, Eternal Night Star Y 26483."
Orfasis was obviously stunned. "You're going to the Mubeth Domain. That's not a good place. Wait a minute." He looked up at the dome and said, "Yelis, bring up the information on planet Y 26483 in the Mubeth Star Zone."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The central AI's gentle voice resounded from the dome.
Adahua Planet divided the universe into nine star domains, each of which was divided into multiple sectors to mark the specific location of the planet. Of the nine star domains, the Garter Domain was undoubtedly the most prosperous. As for the Mubes Domain, it was the oldest. Scholars from Adahua Planet even believed that the domain was a singularity of the universe.
Soon, some rays of light pierced in front of Orfasis, and they interweaved into images. A moment later, a desolate planet appeared in the room. Around the planet were words explaining the internal situation of the planet. Looking at these words, Orfasis' expression gradually became serious, "Child, I hope you have read the information on Eternal Night Star. This is a planet that is about to usher in its end. Not to mention all sorts of catastrophic climates, the only remaining natives of the planet are extremely evil and ferocious. We originally had a research base on this planet, but now most of the base's personnel have been evacuated. Only a few scholars and an army of about a hundred people are stationed here, but they will soon withdraw. "
"That's why I have to go immediately. According to the information, there is a very ancient temple on Eternal Night Star. This is the temple I want to investigate. I have to hurry before the planet is destroyed. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll miss some important clues. "
"Since you insist, alright." Orfasis said seriously, "I will send a team to protect you. You can move freely at normal times. But if they judge the situation to be critical, I will allow them to bring you back by any means possible. "
Lucy hesitated.
"Don't worry, they are absolutely reliable," Orfasis said. "They will not interfere too much with what you are going to do for your safety."
"Alright, but I want to bring Angeloni with me."
"That guard of yours? That's no problem. Promise me, child. Clues are important, but your safety is more important. "
Lucy nodded.
After she left, Orfasis raised his head and said to Zhi Nao, "Have Marquis Main come to see me."
Ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door. After obtaining the Great Emperor's permission, the door was pushed open and a middle-aged man walked in. He had a gentle smile on his face, and his movements were as gentle as the wind. He half-knelt towards Orfasis and said, "Your Majesty, Ma Yin is here to await your orders."
"Marquis, Lucy is going to Eternal Night Star. I can only leave the safety of that child to you. Can you help me take care of her? "
Ma Yin put away his smile and said solemnly, "The Golden Rose swears to protect the successor of every generation of the Golden Rose, regardless of whether he is a heavenly decorated noble stomach or a commoner. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Even if the entire Golden Rose Clan dies, His Highness Lucy will never lose a single hair! " “
If you need anything, let the State Minister arrange it for you. "
Ma Yin clenched his fist and hammered his chest hard before leaving.
That night, Marquis Rowan returned to his mansion with a tired expression. The butler immediately said, "Master, Princess Rika and Her Highness Ao Jiali have come to visit. Madam is in the hall with them. “
Rika was Rowan's sister, and Rowan doted on her the most. He loved Ao Jiali as his own daughter, and he couldn't bear to see his little niece suffer the slightest bit of grievance. Hearing that the two of them had come to visit, Rowan dispelled the idea of resting and walked towards the hall.
In the hall, the two women were talking happily, while the girl next to them was sullen. Marquis Rowan laughed loudly and walked into the hall. "Who made our Miss Ao Jiali unhappy? Tell me, uncle will stand up for you."
Seeing the Marquis, Ao Jiali hurriedly stood up and stuck out her tongue. "That person has a great background. I'm afraid you can't afford to offend him, uncle."
Rowan said with a stern face, "Nonsense, there's no one in this Golden City that I have to retreat from. Even the Duke has to ask first."
Ao Jiali wrinkled her nose and said, "Then teach Lucy a lesson for me."
"Her Highness Lucy?" Rowan smiled bitterly. "Then it's not a matter of whether I can afford to offend her or not. Uncle won't meddle in the quarrel between you children."
"What quarrel? That Lucy slapped me twice. Uncle, are you going to let it go just like that?"
"What?" Rowan's eyes turned cold. "She dared to slap you, that's too arrogant. Then I'll have to ask the Emperor. Is Ao Jiali not his child? "
At this moment, a woman stood up. It was Princess Rika. She glared at Ao Jiali and snorted. "You've learned to sow discord at such a young age. Why don't you tell uncle that you were the one who insulted her first? Get out of here, don't embarrass yourself here. "
Ao Jiali looked indignant, but after being glared at by her mother again, she didn't dare to refute and could only leave the hall. Marquis Rowan had an awkward expression. Fortunately, Princess Rika had made things clear. Otherwise, if he went to question her, he would only end up in a mess.
Princess Rika looked at her brother and shook her head with a smile. "Brother, how old are you? Why are you still so impulsive? You've offended many people by protecting Ao Jiali all these years. It's fine if you offend other people, but this time, you definitely can't offend them. So, when I heard that this little fellow came to find you, I hurriedly chased after her. "
Rowan said embarrassedly, "I was indeed impulsive and didn't ask for the reason. If I leave a bad impression on His Majesty because of this, it won't be worth it. "
Princess Rika, who looked somewhat similar to Rowan, smiled. "It's fine for His Majesty, but if the Golden Rose family holds a grudge against us, then it will be difficult for our family to move forward in Golden City."
"Golden Rose?" Rowan frowned. "They've been missing for many years. It's hard to say whether this family still exists."
Princess Rika shook her head. "There's no need to doubt it. They still exist, and they even informed Ao Jiali. Brother, the Golden Rose family swore to protect every Golden Rose successor. It doesn't seem to be a joke. "
"You mean that the Golden Rose has appeared again?" Marquis Rowan frowned. "This isn't good news. No one knows how deep the foundation of this family is. If they view us as an enemy, then we won't have a good time."
"This is also another reason why I rushed over. The Golden Rose supports Her Highness. I'm afraid that Her Highness will hold a grudge against Ao Jiali and even cause that ancient family to harm our family." Princess Rika laughed at herself. "Maybe I'm thinking too much. The Golden Rose wouldn't go to war because of a quarrel between children, would they?"
"That's impossible, but the current successor is a member of the royal family. I'm afraid that they will support Her Highness on the surface, but in reality, they are using the name of the royal family to open the door for themselves." Rowan frowned. "Furthermore, if Her Highness gets the support of the Golden Rose, then our Little Jiali won't be as dazzling as her. In this way, many plans will probably be affected, such as the marriage with that person. "
"Furthermore, Her Majesty clearly likes her more than the other princes and princesses. I'm very worried that there will be another empress in Golden City in the future."
A trace of viciousness flashed in Rowan's eyes. "Then let the empress disappear before she inherits the throne."
The two women in the hall were shocked. Princess Rika said, "Big brother, you can't speak carelessly. However, Her Majesty is so good to Lucy that she has nothing to say. I heard that the princess is leaving Adahua Planet for a trip, so Her Majesty has arranged for someone to protect her. How can the other princes and princesses receive such preferential treatment? "
"Lucy is leaving Adahua Planet? Where to? "
"I heard that she's going to a planet called Eternal Night in the Mubes Domain. That's a desolate place. I really don't understand what she's going there for."
Rowan laughed, "We don't need to care what she's doing there, but there aren't many opportunities to leave Adahua Planet like this. It's normal for accidents to happen on an interstellar journey. Even the Empress might not be able to return, right? "
"Big brother, what do you mean?" Princess Rika shook her head and said, "No, that's too risky."
