Kiss the Night (1)

"Well," Shuo Yan sighed, a little embarrassed and covered his forehead with one hand, but seeing how much he laughed, he couldn't help but lose a laugh himself, looking at him a little helplessly, "Is it really that funny?"

"No, " Zhifan Shen looked at him with bright eyes, not forgetting to continue to hold the rest of the meatloaf in one hand, "Mostly, I find it ...... funny when I think of your previous attitude. "

Shuo Yan was so out of breath from the laughter that he gave him a piece of meat and passed it to his lips, "Can't you even eat to stop your laughter?"

Zhifan Shen opened his mouth very nicely.

Shuo Yan's mood was so hot that all that embarrassment turned into frosting and flowed down.

"...... Ahem, " Zhifan Shen coughed lightly twice, accidentally choking on the hot sauce, choking her throat, choking her face half red, "Sorry, I really have to go to the... ...ahem, the restroom."

Shuo Yan's fingers are still over one eye.

"Get on with it."

What a shame.

Shuo Yan thought in front of the few smokes of the hot pot, but could not think of anything that could salvage a little of his ...... ability.

Isn't that stupid?

It's acceptable for Lt. Gen. Sayo, who commands the Mecha Division, to be a "little" bad at cooking, right?

But won't it make a bad impression?

With a very unhappy sigh, the speech midshipman would go back upstairs to his room and pat Miss Diary on the back to express his irrationally relenting anger, and in the meantime, he planned to contact the property, so he could just get a new kitchen after all.

That's when Olivia's call came in.

He frowned slightly, it was a remote video communication, he thought about it, but answered it.

Olivia's pretty face, bright as the white moon, soon appeared on the large, light blue virtual screen.

"What are you doing?"

Olivia, suddenly serious, questioned him coldly.

Shuo Yan froze, not expecting Olivia's attitude to be so strong for a moment.

"What are you talking about, did I do something?"

Olivia pursed her lips.

"You let Zhifan Shen into the Mecha Division, didn't you, and do you realize what you've done?"

Shuo Yan was silent for a moment, a little displeased in his mind.

He had always been a bit of a hardliner and hated it when onlookers came along to touch his decisions.

One by one, two by two, they all came to ask this question.

"I know, I'm well aware."

"You know what?" Olivia's anger was burning up to her eyebrows, "What do you know, I don't care what happens between you and Zhifan Shen, I don't care if Zhifan Shen gets probation from you in the future, I don't want to know about any of the shit that's going on between the two of you but I'm not going to back down on this one!"

"The Mecha Department is the heart of the army, not to mention the place you took him to is hiding ' Feier La ', you know very well about his mecha abilities, if he suddenly regains his memory, do you know what will happen? ' Feier La ' is our best mech, it's the heart and soul of the entire empire, it's classified! Classified!"

Shuo Yan's eyebrows furrowed.

"Your Highness, this is my decision, you'd better not ask."

"I don't ask?" Olivia bites her lip, "Lieutenant General Yan, I see that for a little lover your brain is really broken, do you want to go to the country of machinery to fix it, how about I pay the traveling expenses for you, do you want me to reimburse for food and accommodation?!"

"I'll react to the Council through my men on this matter, don't you dare!"

Olivia is no longer the pretty princess who looks like a peacock with a sharp edge.

"For your information, I have proof that Zhifan Shen assassinated Doris, don't try to threaten me, you'll see if I get killed by Ferdinandia first or Zhifan Shen advanced to the First Imperial Prison!"

" Your Highness Olivia," Shuo Yan's demeanor dropped to freezing point as well, "please calm down."

Olivia blanches, but looks a little unnaturally red in the cheeks when she's angry.

"How am I supposed to be calm, what do you know, do you realize that Ferdinandia has returned! I just got the news, of course he knows that my disappearance was false, and is now openly picking on me! How do you want me to calm down!"

" Shuo Yan , what did you promise me, my country, my people, my father, my everything, where is your promise?!"

" Your Highness Olivia," Shuo Yan's words came out clear and loud, "First, I want to tell you that I know about Ferdinandia's return."

Olivia had finally calmed down a bit after her hissy fit of disregard for decorum, her eyes slightly red and her fingers still shaking uncontrollably.

The fact that Zhifan Shen was in the Mecha Division wasn't the most important thing, but the fact that Ferdinandia, who was supposed to be here for a month or more, came back unexpectedly and made her sit on pins and needles.

"You know, what about your tactics! He's alive and well now!" Olivia, red-eyed and blunt, "Just say it, I want him dead! That animal!"

"Only when he's dead will I be at peace," Olivia was all of a sudden all six again, and began to sob low, her slender fingers covering her lips in fear of losing her temper too much, though it was almost too much, "What am I going to do, he's sold out half the country in a deal with the Federation, what am I going to do about my What am I going to do about my country?!"

Shuo Yan is silent for a moment, Olivia's mood seems really unstable and it looks like Ferdinandia has really pushed her over the edge.

"He killed my mom," Olivia added suddenly, "I know it, I've always known it, but there's nothing I can do ...... He's such a horrible person, I don't even know what he wants, he probably just wanted to destroy the world, destroy this country!"

"Isn't it ridiculous that someone just like that is the Crown Prince?!"

Shuo Yan rubbed his brow, he thought about locking the door of his room first, afraid of letting Zhifan Shen hear this.

"Since you know about Ferdinandia and the Federation connecting to the Sellers," Shuo Yan sighed long and hard, "then do you know about the Federation establishing diplomatic relations and cooperation with the Land of Machinery?"

Olivia froze and blurted out, "What?!"

"The Land of Machinery, isn't it an absolutely neutral and peaceful land, why would it suddenly cooperate with the Federation?"

Olivia fell silent after saying this, realizing full well the horror of the situation.

" Ferdinandia, even if he wanted to usurp the throne, would not sell his country, not to mention selling half of the country at once," Shuo Yan looked at Olivia quietly , "because he knew that the fall of the Mechanical Kingdom meant that there was an upcoming interstellar level battle coming, and with the Empire's war power, it will definitely lose the battle, and the concession of half of the territory is instead a more desirable state of affairs."

"You do realize that Feier La is a product of which country, right?"

The Land of Machines.

The country of machinery with the top mecha technology and technology technology is not big, only hundreds of galaxies are connected, in the whole interstellar world is only a small country with medium territory.

But it is truly the kingdom that has the most terrifying war power, and it can be said that if it wants to, it can completely conquer the stars.

However, because of the war hundreds of years ago, the population of the Land of Machinery has been sharply reduced to one percent, and in vain, it has powerful mecha machinery, but it lacks mecha masters with outstanding abilities.

In order to remember this bitter war, the descendants declared that they would always maintain a neutral peace.

The Empire-Federation dispute had been going on for centuries, and during that time the Mechanical State had never asked or accessed these things.

And now it's just dumped. What does that mean?

Meaning that the Empire, which had won with its mech combat power, was about to suffer the most irresistible defeat.

Olivia's face went white.

"...... This, this can't be."

"It's a certainty, a message sent by the Empire's top spy three months ago," Shuo Yan said word for word, "Your Highness Olivia, what do you think we should do now?"

When it comes to destroying the country, there's no room in Olivia's head for a little person like Zhifan Shen.

"I don't know ...... war, there can be no more war."

She covered her face in dismay.

"How can this be, why is the country of machinery doing this, what benefits did the Federation promise it ...... we can also ah!"

"No," Shuo Yan continued, "because we also don't know the reason for the sudden dumping of the Mechanical State, which has completely shut down the country for the past three months, refusing all of our requests for conversational communication."

"So the Ferdinandia thing isn't a priority, what's more important right now is that we need more mecha geniuses."

"Did you see Zhifan Shen's match?" Shuo Yan asked rhetorically, "Back then, we bought the Feier La from the Land of Machinery for a heavy sum of money, and there were twelve other mechs that were copied later, so we still have the power to fight, but do we have enough candidates to pilot them?"

"If memory serves, aside from me, Ferdinandia, only two Admirals in the Organic Armor, and five Major Generals have that ability, not to mention that one of those Admirals is so old that he can't even speak!"

" Zhifan Shen definitely can, his talent may not be noticed by the military because of the flashy mech races, but I notice it, and I've been manipulating mechs for so many years, I know how rare his talent is."

"That one-of-a-kind feel, that hand speed."

"Now, I'll tell you what," Shuo Yan licked his lips, "I'm not only going to let Zhifan Shen into the Mecha Division, I'm going to train him to be my successor, do you have any comments?"

Olivia was in sixes and sevens, her face white, "How can it be just these people, weren't we still ...... back in the day?"

"In the battle of the conquest back then," Shuo Yan's voice suddenly stuttered, "all six of my comrades, all six of my glorious and powerful seven-star mecha masters have been killed in battle, and these few years of peace have left you guys still dreaming of something else, right?"

It was true that the bitter loss of six seven-star mechs in the Imperial Conquest had once filled the city with storm, but the peace and paperwork of recent years had long since corroded most people's brains.

"But Zhifan Shen," Olivia mumbled, "he, he's from Ferdinandia, after all."

"He's not Ferdinandia's man," Shuo Yan said carefully, verbatim, "he's my man."

"......What time is it now, this is not important," Olivia a moment of fire again, "he will at any time turn back, when the war is not won is not to lose the right to give away half of the country, and by the way, again He's going to turn against us anytime now.

"He will not fall back," Shuo Yan repeated with suppressed and determined eyes, "he will not fall back."

"What makes you say that, just because you like him?" Olivia bit her lip.

Shuo Yan stalled, his eyes growing colder and colder.

"Because--"

"Because I want to kill Ferdinandia too."
