The Clement family, a Rogue Trader family that appeared in the middle of the Imperial Great Crusade, has a trade certificate signed and issued by the Emperor himself (this thing is very powerful, sometimes it can even be used as a death-free medal), and is also one of the five giants of the Noble Council. One, has the second largest trade fleet in the Maelstrom, and has a deep relationship with the forging world of Angstrom.
However, their patriarch died for some reason five years ago, leaving only a 25-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son. Subsequently, civil strife broke out in the family due to inheritance issues. Sillu Clement, who was only 25 years old at the time, used her father to hide His power crushed the rebels with thunderous force, and he refused the position of clan leader and business certificate, giving it to his younger brother, and declared himself the governor of the family until his younger brother came of age.
Because during the process of suppressing the rebellion, she threw her own uncle into the icehouse and turned it into an ice cube and then displayed it in the family hall to shock others. She was called the Ice Queen and had many suitors. However, in order to assist herself, she The younger brother even rejected the original engagement and seemed to have the intention of never marrying for the rest of his life.
Now the Ice Queen was standing gracefully by the railing of the box, and it was the first time for Arni to see her at such a close distance.
Many poets describe her as a woman carved from ice and starlight, with an indifferent heart to match. Her skin is smooth and white in the sun, and indeed has the texture of ice crystals. At the same time, her left eye It is an expensive bionic organ studded with expensive gems. It looks like a silvery white snowflake. It replaced her original eyeball that was damaged during the family strife. With her charming face and tall figure of nearly 1.9 meters, it is even more... There is an awe-inspiring and inviolable temperament.
At the same time, she also has a rare silver hair, which is combed back from her forehead into a series of delicate braids, hanging down to her back, mixed with electronic ropes. The long dress she wears is made of her family's ice blue and Decorated in white, the opening on the side of the skirt exposes some of the fair skin on the thighs, which makes people imagine. The legs wrapped in blue translucent silk garters are paired with a pair of crystal high heels with a texture like ice. There is a fiery temptation in it.
At this time, she was placing her hands on the railing in front of her. Her slender and elegant arms were paired with gorgeous bracelets with built-in jewelry, making her look lazy and noble.
Standing beside her were five family guards, as well as several other distinguished figures, including the mechanical priest who bore the symbol of the forging world Angstrom.
In fact, each of the Big Five has built an independent box, but Arni doesn't want to be crowded with the people at home. He would rather stay down there alone.
However, his calculation was quickly shattered——
"Master, I want you to come over immediately!"
"Just say there's something wrong with me!"
"Master...Master said that if you don't go, we will have to tie you up and carry you over..."
Amid Yingli Madden's laughter, the helpless Arni and his entourage climbed up the steps.
However, as soon as he arrived at the box, he was immediately dumbfounded by a person inside.
His fiancée Danica Werner is actually here too!
"Danica...."
Arni did not show his surprise, but walked into the box calmly and gracefully.
"It's such a pleasure to meet you."
Danica Werner nodded slightly and smiled implicitly at him.
"I'm happy too, it's a moment worth remembering."
"Morales, I told you to stay away from those gangsters. It won't do you any good to hang out with that little beast from the Madden family."
Hearing the serious voice of his father, Bernhard Morales, Arni Morales turned around helplessly and bowed slightly.
"I understand, Father."
Old Bornhard, who was wearing a dark blue Guards uniform, looked at his son and blew his beard angrily. Because his father was once a major general of the Astra Militarum, he still had the rank of colonel of the Astra Militarum. In fact, he even had the rank of colonel. Arni Morales held the rank of officer, but he had never been to a military camp.
"You say you know it every time! You just know it!"
"Okay, Danica is still here."
The speaker was none other than the mother of Arni Morales. This noble lady was wearing a gorgeous blue dress, with a long bun and a white gauze crown. She was sitting on a red chair with her hands clasped together. Very noble.
After hearing his wife's words, the elder Bornhard finally interrupted his son's oral education.
"Danica, come, sit next to me."
Then the lady smiled tenderly and held out her hand to Danica.
"Thank you ma'am."
The girl nodded meekly, came to the chair on the left side of the other party and sat down carefully.
Arni Morales raised his legs and was about to walk towards a chair against the wall, but his father immediately grabbed his arm.
"Where are you going! Go sit over there!"
Old Bornhard was pointing to the position on Danica's left. Although Arni was helpless, he had no choice but to sit beside his fiancée, while his father sat on his mother's right side in the box. Other family members whispered and even chuckled after seeing it.
Arni, who was getting more and more irritable, had no choice but to call for a servant who was carrying a wine flask and a wine glass, and asked him to pour a glass of ice-cold wine.
But as soon as he raised his glass, he heard a soft and gentle word coming from beside him.
"Wine is poison to the soul, faith is the cure for the spirit."
This made Arni's glass that was holding it in mid-empty suddenly freeze.
Before he could make any move, he heard his mother's voice.
"Look, my child, Danica is so virtuous. She is worried about your body and spirit even before you get married."
Then there's his dad.
"You brat, you are surrounded by blessings all day long and don't know how to be blessed!"
Arni took a deep breath, finally put the wine glass back on the waiter's tray, and then waved his hand vigorously to drive away the waiter.
Then he tilted his body to the left, away from his fiancée, and supported his head with his fists, staring blankly at the empty square, while a thought kept swirling in his mind -
If he had become a Space Marine, wouldn't he have had to endure such a marriage and family?
Even dying on the operating table would be better than this.
Suddenly, a roar came from a distant place above his head. Arni's eyes lit up and he immediately jumped up from the chair, then walked to the edge of the box, stretched out his head and looked at the sky.
He has paid close attention to everything about Space Marines since he was a child, and he immediately recognized the huge roaring aircraft——
Thunderhawk!
The Space Marines are coming!
They were all black, with a streak of dark green dotting the edges of their wings, like the color of an ancient forest. They not only formed an array, but also maintained perfect aerial synchronization as they descended.
Then the military band on the ground began to play, and the roaring Thunder Eagles landed in batches of four, perching on one side of the square in perfect sequence, followed by the second batch, and the third batch... they set off The roar of the air completely drowned out the shriek of the trumpets of the General's band.
