"Are you Lin Ao?"
Lin Ao was mentally prepared for his cross-dressing to be discovered, but he never thought he would be called out by the princess of HER. Where did she know who she was?
"No, my name is Jin Shangyu."
"No need to pretend in front of me, my cousin, Zhuge Daozi has already told me everything."
"Eh?"
Lin Ao thought that the Red Knight had never known that Zhuge Daozi also participated in the assassination plan, so how did he know about it, and why did he tell Princess Elizabeth?
Seeing Lin Ao blushing and tugging at the hem of her skirt in front of her, Elizabeth sighed:
"It's not convenient here. Come to my room and talk. I've prepared men's clothes. You don't have to cater to the red knight's strange habits. Of course, if you want to continue wearing them, I don't mind."
"No, no, I don't have that kind of hobby..."
…
"Zhenyue Palace" is so luxurious and gorgeous that it makes people visually tired. Almost every corridor is the same. Lin Ao feels that the people who live here can only remember it through the different decorations in the corridors. If these statues and paintings were removed, they would definitely be confused.
"arrive."
After walking through several similar corridors, the maid opened the door of Elizabeth's room. Although Lin Ao's eyes had adapted to the luxury of the palace, the shock of Elizabeth's room still made Lin Ao's jaw drop. The whole room is covered with goose down, and the walls and tables are covered with unknown works of art.
"Can you sleep in this room..." Lin Ao couldn't help but ask.
Elizabeth seemed to have misunderstood what Lin Ao meant, explaining: "The artworks here were all looted from the earth by the imperial army. I got them from my father to protect them. If the war can end, I will return them all." Original owner, so I slept well.”
"After your war is over?" Lin Ao asked.
Elizabeth did not answer immediately, but asked: "Do you drink Ceylon black tea? It is produced on earth."
"No, thank you. You..."
"Is this dress okay?"
The maid still brought black tea and a set of deacon's clothes. Lin Ao nodded and said that he could wear it. He continued to ask: "Why did you come to me? You know that I am the opposite of you, right? ?”
"The opposite of what?" Elizabeth seemed to be asking knowingly.
"I am an enemy of your country! Aren't you afraid that I will kidnap you and run away?" Lin Ao deliberately threatened. He wanted to test Elizabeth.
But Elizabeth's expression didn't waver at all. She picked up the black tea and sipped it: "I suggest you think carefully about what you just said. My maids will cut you into pieces even if you can't even touch me. I know you are my father's enemy. , but you are not my enemy."
"What's the meaning?"
Elizabeth's eyes looked at a female painting in the room. Lin Ao felt that this painting looked very familiar.
"I do not agree with my father's war. Although it was under the banner of liberating mankind in the universe at the beginning, it has now gone too far. The war is burning innocent lives and destroying human civilization and art... I can't sit idly by and watch."
"Are you going to fight your father?"
Lin Ao was surprised. Elizabeth was very sincere and didn't seem like she was lying to herself. He looked at the girl in front of him again. He originally thought that Elizabeth, like Princess Mary, was an evil woman who was beautiful in appearance but chose to support the war of aggression because of her vested interests. She was the enemy of him, but Elizabeth had compassion and mercy.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing." Lin Ao then realized that it was rude to stare at the other person.
"What do you mean you can't sit idly by? Do you want to persuade your father to stop the war?"
Elizabeth lowered her head in grief: "It can't be done. He can't stop. In the future, he will definitely become a sinner in history and be infamy for forever, but I can't let my sister follow in his footsteps. I still have to save the people of this country."
"how do you want to do it?"
"In a few months, all forces except the empire will secretly hold anti-imperial talks at the Potala Palace within the Chang'an Cooperation Organization. After the meeting, a military alliance against the empire may be born."
"All forces...including your allies? (New Republic of Gran Colombia)"
"Yes, my father doesn't know about this yet. If he knew, I would lose the chance to end the war."
"Chance?"
"As the successor of the Holy Roman Empire of the Universe, I will participate in this meeting and call on the people of the empire to step back from the brink."
"This..." Lin Ao did not expect the princess's plan to be so risky. He reminded: "Do you really think that if you appeal to the people and soldiers of the empire, the war will stop? I think it will only cause your country to split up and not end the war. .”
Elizabeth said sternly: "It's better than my father pushing the entire country off the cliff. This also sends a signal to the outside world that not all people in the empire are invaders. My father will definitely be defeated, and after the war, the various forces will definitely divide me." country. But if I can stand on his opposite side, even if I build a new empire, I can protect my sister and more people as much as possible, and prevent the empire from being divided by the forces of the victor."
"Yeah..." Lin Ao felt that he had heard too many exaggerated plans today, first the assassination of the Red Knight, and then Elizabeth's plan to split her country.
"So what are you looking for me for?" Lin Ao asked.
"I have been paying attention to things on Earth, and I have also seen reports about the Osiris. I know that you have gone around to support people in distress. I admire you for this. In fact, it was my cousin who recommended you to me. He, you I am a respectable opponent, so I hope you can take me to the Osiris and let the Osiris take me to the Potala Palace for talks.”
"???Wait a minute and let me figure it out...Zhuge Daozi, recommended to you by a Wuhou-level captain? A guy who has fought against us many times?"
"Yes, he recommended it, and he supports my plan." Elizabeth.
"But..." Lin Ao asked in confusion: "But the Osiris is full of people who hate HER! Do you think you are safe on it?"
Elizabeth stood up and bowed slightly to Lin Ao: "That's why I asked you to be my bodyguard. Firstly, you will leave New Rome with me, and secondly, you will protect my safety on the Osiris."
"It's too easy for you. Let's not talk about how to leave New Rome. I don't even have a gun with me now, let alone a fight. How can I protect you?"
Elizabeth operated on her personal terminal and showed Lin Ao a VR projection screen, which turned out to be Unit 2.
"Unit No. 2..."
"I have a way to return your body to you as a reward for being a bodyguard. Of course, you can also choose to stay with the Red Knight to see if his assassination plan can succeed."
"You really know this..."
"My cousin also speeded me up. To be honest, I don't object to the Red Knight's plan."
"But it's your father he wants to assassinate..."
"Compared with the people of the empire, my father's life was too light."
"Ha..." Lin Ao touched his neck and sighed: "My dad is right, some of the children of the emperor's family are ruthless characters..."
Elizabeth turned off the projection, raised her head and said with a queen-like attitude: "I don't care what others will say, well, my ideals are lofty. How about, are you willing to join me? If I succeed, this war will be faster. End and cause more destruction. And what is your purpose in joining the war? Fame? Fortune? Or for peace? Answer me."
"I'll join, as long as I'm not allowed to wear women's clothing, I will join."
Lin Ao suddenly felt that as long as he could stay with such a beautiful and extraordinary woman, it would be worth dying. As for those messy plans, just take it one step at a time.
