Winter Star Yalilo-VI, Upper District of Beloberg, Goethe Hotel.
Bronya rented the most luxurious hotel in Beloberg as the temporary residence of the emperor of the empire, despite the opposition of officials in Klipperburg.
At this moment, in the lobby lounge of Goethe Hotel, facing the warm winter sunshine,
Bronya was sitting on the balcony with Xiao Hui and Zhou Xuan.
The silver-maned iron guards who were responsible for the protection beside them could not stop shaking their legs. They did not even dare to look at the lazy man in front of them.
They were the iron guards who followed Jeppard to greet Zhou Xuan. They were also the few people in the city who knew Zhou Xuan’s identity.
For the sake of stability, Bronya chose them as guards….
Bang————
One of the guards lost his grip on his weapon and his spear fell to the ground.
He hurriedly picked it up, but his body was still shaking with fear.
Bronya had no intention of condemning them. She even felt that she should praise them and be proud of them. She knew that the lazy man in pajamas in front of her was the emperor of the Scourge Empire. He could still stand up straight, which was enough to prove the quality of the Silver Mane Guards.
Bronya herself felt her legs were weak now.
“You are so scared, kid.” Zhou Xuan took a sip of Beloberg’s specialty black tea and said in a calm tone
“……”Bronya didn’t know how to answer.
She clenched her hands, which were full of sweat.
She had prepared many speeches before coming, but when she saw the lazy emperor, her mind went blank again.
“You don’t need to be afraid.”
Zhou Xuan reached out his hand and rubbed Bronya’s head as if to comfort a child, in the confused eyes of Tiewei and Bronya.
“The Empire is kind, peaceful, and tolerant…..He is also willing to train young children.”
His tone was gentle, soft, and mature, just like a lazy, gentle, and mature wise man, but Bronya’s mind was filled with various scenes in the light curtain, including the scene she saw on the way here……
The Thorin chlorine, which used the entire galaxy as food and was known as the First Scourge, was believed by all living beings to be equally powerful as the Scourge Empire. However, it was easily destroyed by the Empire.
It was not relying on fleets, weapons, colossi, or some kind of technology. It was just that the Emperor in front of him, sitting on his throne, used some incomprehensible means to grind all the Thorin chlorine in the galaxy into minced meat. He was just one person.
Bronya looked at Zhou Xuan with fear and awe.
After hesitating for a moment, she lowered her voice and asked,”Your Majesty, what is that light curtain?”……”
“That light curtain.” Zhou Xuan put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly:”It comes from some of our ancient enemies. They are very dangerous and good at confusing people.”
“Young civilizations like you should not touch them, and should not even try to understand them.”
Bronya’s eyes widened. It turned out that there were beings in this world that could rival and threaten the Empire.
“They are now…..”Bronya couldn’t help but ask
“It’s no longer a threat.” Zhou Xuan said lightly.
Bronya couldn’t help but take a breath and lowered her head.
She noticed that Zhou Xuan said that the creators of the light curtain were good at deceiving people…….
“So, is the content on the screen fake?”Bronya thought of this possibility.
Although the lazy and peaceful emperor in front of her looked young, he gave Bronya the feeling of an old sage who was gentle and kind from the heart.
It was hard to imagine that such a person would commit those horrific crimes on the screen…….
“No, it’s true.”
Zhou Xuan said gently and calmly:
“I did it all.”
Bronya felt her throat tighten, sweat pouring out of her body, and her stomach churned and she wanted to vomit.
Bronya covered her stomach and looked at Zhou Xuan in disbelief.
His tone was so plain, as if he was saying that he had two fried eggs and a cup of black tea this morning, casual, ordinary and plain.
It was this plainness that made Bronya feel stomachache and sweat on her forehead.
“Why?”Bronya blurted out.
After she said it, she felt stupid. Why couldn’t she help but think and ask such a question?
But then, she understood…….His Majesty the Emperor would not be angered by such questions.
The crimes in the light curtain were too ordinary and insignificant to Him.
“Hmm?” Zhou Xuan cast his eyes towards Bronya.
“Why do you do those things?” Bronya swallowed deeply and asked with courage.
Zhou Xuan smiled gently, picked up the sugar cube on the table and put it into the black tea.
The sugar cube slowly dissolved in the black tea, and Zhou Xuan’s voice sounded in Bronya’s ears:
“All great works require sacrifice to be forged, creatures like you may not understand……”
“……But you must obey.”
