MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 43

People are often so blinded by the great benefits that they cannot see the dark undercurrents that lie beneath them. When the joy of contentment is replaced by horrific astonishment, a word called regret comes to mind. The reason why it is called regret, the only thing that can be explained is that all the room for turning around and the hope of redemption no longer exist.

Love Jia? Derich, recorded in May 1128 of the Galactic Calendar.

When the knock on the door rang, Aijia was reading a collection of poems by Liu Rui, the founder of the Republic of Seth. With notes and a light pen at hand, she records her reading experience from time to time.

"Aijia, are you there?"

Hearing the knock on the door, Aijia hurriedly put down the light pen and stood up a little faster. A few strands of long gray hair fell from the loose bun at the back of her head, and as she turned around, it fell on her shoulders. As tempting as fresh cream.

Zena Qiao was a little impatient waiting. Novi's visit brought a trading opportunity that was very likely to contain huge benefits before her, but Zena hesitated. As a businessman, she should not refuse such a huge benefit. Think about it, as long as she rents out the sixth planet that produces raw ore, she will use the planet that cannot inhabit human beings, except to mine some useless ores, and it is almost useless. Take the money! This money can be used to expand the army, build warships, and let the arrogant Mars people see that their useless and greedy neighbors are also powerful enough to make them fear one day! Just when they and Seth's fleet were also defeated by the alien galaxy fleet!

However, Zena Qiao suddenly hesitated.

She realized at this moment that she is not only a businessman, but also a person who dominates the fate of the Free City Federation. Her decision is likely to bring about two completely different results, or even more.

Novi did not urge Zena Joe to make an immediate decision, he used his elegant conversation and leisurely attitude to interpret his politeness and Zina Joe's respect.

However, in those pale eyes, Zena Qiao couldn't see the slightest respect or friendliness to future partners, and some were just indifferent - or should I say contempt? This made Zener Qiao, who was accustomed to giving orders, angered, and it also made her regain a sense of reason before the interests.

"City Lord?"

From Zener, before inheriting the wealth and city from his father, Ai Jia? Derich has been with Zener Joe's side. Until Zener Joe became president of the Free Cities Federation. Aijia never changed her attitude towards Zener Joe because of her identity change. From the moment they met in the rose garden, from their carefree girlhood, Aika has become a shadowy presence of Zener Joe. She is Zener Joe's close friend, assistant, staff, and more rumored, love Jia? Derich is Zena Joe's lover. However, it has not been confirmed - a wedding that can prove Aika's identity.

In an era when technology and social ideology blur gender and family, same-sex love is not as shocking as it was in ancient times. As a composition of a social family form, whether it is Planet γ, the Republic of Seth, or even the military regime of Mars that implements military rule and pursues dogmatism, it has recognized the legality of same-sex marriage as early as five hundred years ago. sex.

Zena Joe with Ai Jia? No one would be surprised if Derich swore his marriage right away.

Regardless of Zener Joe's character and personality, for Aijia, she has always been the most candid face.

"Aijia, I'm troubled."

Zena Joe walked into Ai Jia's room and lay on Ai Jia's knees like a lost child. Aijia sat on the fabric sofa, big roses spread out on the snow-white background, like a gentle mother, she gently stroked the top of Zener Joe's hair, her fair and plump fingers pressed Zener With some stiff shoulders and neck, Joe whispered in Zener Joe's ear with a slightly hoarse but unexpectedly pleasant voice: "Zina, dear, you are confused, this is not like you. You can tell me this is for What? For the man who came suddenly?"

"Yeah, why do I feel lost..."

Zener answered in a low voice, but did not answer Aijia's question directly. She admitted that she was a hopelessly greedy businessman, but the wisdom and cunning she inherited from her father allowed her to be rationally judged. While her interests were blinded, she noticed even the slightest hint of clues, which was enough to make her suspicious of the man named Novi.

The origin of this man is unknown, but he only claims to be a businessman from an alien galaxy. He was handsome but very different from the people of the Muse system and most of the natives of the colonized planet known to Zener Joo. When Zener Joe's attitude clearly revealed his hesitation about the transaction, the smile on Novi's face made Zener even more worried. She suddenly thought of the alien galaxy invader currently entrenched in the artificial celestial body of Royce, that terrifying fleet, defeated the combined fleet of Mars and Seth! The so-called undefeated Mars Space Fleet's sixth and eighth fleets could only flee back to the Kanon military fortress in embarrassment. Zena Qiao was shocked by his own guess and broke into a cold sweat.

She didn't want to believe that these terrifying intruders, who were living in her mansion at the moment, offered her a deal to lease the sixth planet to her. What's the use of those ores...

"Aika, what if I've made a terrible mistake and regretted it, but I can't fix it, what should I do? Sit down on the wrong path and cover up my remorse, or find a way to rectify it ?"

"Zener, what kind of mistake would make you say the word remorse?"

"I feel that I am making a deal with the devil, and what I have signed is a contract to sell my soul."

"Dear Zener, I always thought that only you were worthy of the title 'devil'. You are the most successful businessman in the Muse galaxy, aren't you?"

"Aijia, I'm not kidding!"

"I know, shh, don't be angry, anxiety is not suitable for you, you are my most beautiful and elegant city lord, and the smartest city federation chairman," Aijia held up Zena Qiao's face, her gray-haired eyes were gentle Looking at Zener, the red lips kissed between Zener's brows, "Darling, I don't want to see you torture yourself for this kind of mistake. Go to sleep, I know, you are very tired, you need to rest …”

Love Jia? Derich's voice carried a strange fascination, like an intoxicating warm wind blowing into Zena Joe's ears, straight to his mind.

After a while, Zena Qiao fell into a deep sleep, and Aijia sat quietly on the sofa, stroking the top of Zina Qiao's hair with her white fingers. The gentle smile slowly gathered up, silver lightning flashed across the sky, thunder exploded, and the lights in the room suddenly went out. The white light of the lightning instantly tore apart the night, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminated Aijia? Derich turned his face to the side, and a cold wind blew into the unclosed window with raindrops, and blew Aijia's hair off her forehead. Aijia clenched the ruby ​​pendant on her chest. The secret that Zener Joe doesn't know, and the secret that Zener can never know. In the hollow ruby, a black eagle representing Mars is carved.

Another flash of lightning across the sky, Aijia? Derich lowered his eyes, kissed Zena Joe's forehead gently, moved Zener Joe away gently, stood up, opened the door silently, and walked out.

She had to make a choice, she couldn't continue to hide the news of this man Novi. Even if it would betray her lover. However, as a member of the Derich family, from the moment she made her choice, she was forever branded a traitor. The Drich family is a famous family of Mars, and it is also a part of Mars' military regime that will never be seen. Aijia never regretted her choice. She gave up the glory of her family to face the world and chose to enter the gamma planet as an infiltrator. So far, she still has no regrets.

However, she has one thing to do now, a very important thing.

Love Jia? Derich clenched the ruby ​​pendant on his chest, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

The planet Mars at the moment is also shrouded in a curtain of water.

"I thought the weather would get better." John complained while wearing the collar button of his school uniform, "This kind of weather will make people moldy."

"yes?"

Shang Ping leaned on the chair, propped his cheek on the edge of the table with one hand, and looked at John with a half-smile, "But I think Mr. John Jonathan in front of him is more and more dazzling."

John clenched his brows and loosened the button he had fastened. "Shang Ping, is that what you use for dazzling brilliance? I doubt that if you tell this to your literature professor, your transcript will be very good-looking. ."

"John, I have to admit, you've gotten smarter."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"This way, I'll have a lot less fun..."

"…"

Before John Jonathan could cheer for the win, he was stunned by Shang Ping's words.

Well, he also had to admit that the result of trying to quarrel with Shang Ping was purely self-inflicted hardship.

The sound of the electronic prep bell sounded, Shang Ping and John didn't dare to waste any more time, and immediately picked up their textbooks and rushed out of the dormitory. As a student of the Madoff Military Academy, with one year to go before graduation, it would be too embarrassing if the instructor left a note on the transcript because of being late for class.

The two teenagers strode across the campus and passed a few lower grade students. Shang Ping noticed that one of the boys with gray hair was an acquaintance of his.

"...Ben? Derich, are you really going to quit the Eagles organization..."

These boys were obviously arguing about something, but Shang Ping didn't pay attention, only vaguely heard the boy's name.

It turns out that his name is Ben? Derich?

In the office of the president of the Madoff Military Academy, on the brain screen in front of Principal Gus, is a test paper for Professor Trinid's history class. When Professor Trinider handed him the test paper, and said with a disapproving face that the student who was meticulous and rigorous turned out to have anti-government tendencies, so that he had to handle the test paper carefully, Greg said. Principal Si saw something else from the answers in this test paper.

The bloated body was squeezed into the not spacious back chair, and Gus's side as a politician jumped up subconsciously.

This student is a genius!

Gus could hardly contain his excitement. Professor Trinider made a very serious mistake, and such a near-perfect answer would not have been written by an impulsive anti-governmentist.

Gus couldn't help wanting to meet this student in person. Principal Gus was stunned for a moment after retrieving the file of the respondents of the test paper. The black-haired boy in the photo is obviously Shang Ping, who shined brightly in the actual combat exercise of the Kanon military fortress.
