Ryan felt that he needed to educate this silly old man in his family more.

He looked at Prince Andrew who was silent and said, "Father, Lieutenant General Ruan Yang and I are not from the same world as our family. Now I don't want to be married to Carlos' nephew by the emperor, and he doesn't want to be used by his black-hearted predecessor. We hit it off and each got what we needed. It's okay to be engaged temporarily as a transition..."

"If you really let me get involved with such an imperial elite and a pillar of the military, if something happens in the future, aren't you afraid that our family will be implicated?" Although he is young, he has a lot of thoughts.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of joining in. He just wanted to protect himself and never thought of taking the so-called engagement between him and Ruan Yang seriously.

"... Ryan, you... why do you think so?" Prince Andrew did not expect that his son would have such thoughts.

Ryan did not even have the slightest intention of hiding anything when facing his closest and most trusted father. He spoke frankly, "Old An, although I am young, I am not a fool. I know exactly who my uncle is. He doesn't even dare to touch a little power like you. He is always on guard against the idle dude. Is there anyone in the world that he is not on guard against and doesn't plot against?"

"When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden... Marshal Xue and Marshal Kalande fought for the empire for decades. The two families shed countless blood for the empire. The two pillars of the empire were so glorious and admired by thousands of people, but what was the final outcome? The Xue family was charged with treason and was exterminated..." Although Ryan was young, he had an extremely keen political sense: "Kalande family, father, tell me the truth. Was the accidental assassination of your idol and his wife done by the Alliance spies or by my uncle?"

He was born among flowers, but he had already seen a bloody scene.

Prince Andrew had not expected him to say such words. When he asked about the cause of Marshal Callander's death, his whole body froze.

Because what Ryan said was not wrong. The death of Marshal Kalande and his wife was not an accident, nor was it done by the Alliance spies. It was done by his good brother...

When he learned the news, Prince Andrew, a mediocre and useless playboy all his life, immediately made a decision that still surprises him when he thinks back on it. That was to go and rescue Marshal Callander and his wife.

He rushed to the scene of the incident without stopping, but he was still a step late.

They could only watch as the spaceship carrying Marshal Kalande and his wife was blown into a firework in the galaxy.

He led his guards to rescue them, but they only found the charred bodies of the heroic couple of the empire hugging each other tightly. They no longer looked like one of the two pillars of the empire and the goddess of the stars... At that time, Lady Kalande, the eldest daughter of the Xue family, was even pregnant.

Andrew had no power to make decisions for them, so he could only quietly collect their bodies and have someone cut open Mrs. Callander's belly... He allowed the royal family and countless people who wanted Marshal Callander dead to cover up the truth about their unjust deaths, and he cowardly curled up in his safe corner...

"Many people say that Ruan Yang is unlucky, which is why he became a vegetable when he was in his prime and was in a coma for decades. In fact, I think he is too lucky... After all, he had a very close relationship with Marshal Kalande. Everyone knows that Kalande treated him like a son, and even his name was on the will..." Ryan's face was still childish, but his words were as calm as an ice cone: "If he was awake back then, he might not be alive today. He might have died with your idol..."

Andrew looked at Ryan deeply without saying a word.

Ryan continued, "And now, the empire needs him, and the military has no available generals. Naturally, he has a bright future and is in the limelight. But in a few years, will he be another Kalande or Xue Xin? Who can tell?"

"Ryan..." Andrew looked at his son and really didn't know how he grew up like this.

"Father, I can understand that you admire Marshal Callander and also like this student who has a similar personality to him. I can get engaged to him, and our family can also give him some support and help him when necessary... But I really can't make it real with him and tie me, you, and our family to the same boat with him. That's too dangerous." Ryan's logic was very clear: "Especially, his brother is the partner of cousin Austin, and they are already tied to the same boat."

"I don't want to get involved in what they want to do, and neither does our family." Ryan held Prince Andrew's hand and said word by word, "I just want you and mother, our family of three to live happily together. In the future, I will find an Alpha who is as incompetent as you, and we can play and go crazy together until we are old, okay?"

For him, it didn't matter who was in power, his family had never done anything bad, they just liked to enjoy themselves a little and secretly helped various people from time to time.

Ryan doesn't want to take any risks and just wants to live a miserable life with his parents.

Although everyone in the Imperial Star disdains Prince Andrew, a playboy with no ambition, in Ryan's eyes he is truly the best father and the most ideal partner for ALPHA.

Prince Andrew looked at Ryan and moved his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

…

At the same time, the Duke of Austin, who had contributed greatly to the extermination of the Zerg, was suddenly falsely accused of treason. After the Emperor ordered a search of the Duke of Austin's mansion, they actually found something. The Emperor was immediately heartbroken. He was extremely unwilling to believe that his son was plotting treason, but in the face of irrefutable evidence, he had to hold the Duke of Austin, who was thousands of miles away, accountable.

He did not directly accuse Duke Austin, but chose to directly issue a subpoena with the highest authority of the Emperor of the Empire to his eldest son, Austin Camihill, demanding that Austin immediately resign his military power in the Gemini Fortress and return to the Imperial Star immediately to be questioned.

"Is the emperor crazy? Or has his brain been eaten by a dog?" When the entire Glorious Legion suddenly received this news, everyone was stunned.

Langdon almost wanted to rush in and kill the emperor. "Why doesn't he go to heaven when he says our duke is plotting treason?"

"...He is like this right after a great victory in the Zerg War? Is he trying to repeat the injustice of the Xue family? I thought that since His Highness is a royal family member and the biological son of the Emperor, he would treat His Highness differently. I didn't expect him to be like this..."

This sudden accusation and the news that Emperor Star kept sending made Ruan Tang confused: "Seth, this...what should we do now?"

Ruan Tang was completely confused by this sudden and illogical accusation. She felt that compared to Austin, the high and mighty Emperor of the Imperial Star was more like a madman.

"That's normal. My good father would put on a big show like this every now and then to test people's hearts... This time, I want to see what kind of show he will put on?" Austin snorted and laughed, but he had already become disheartened when he mentioned the emperor.

The two looked at each other with heavy expressions, and at this moment, Austin's communicator suddenly lit up.

It was a communication request from the Emperor.

As soon as Austin answered the call, the emperor's face appeared in the holographic projection. After doing something that made people want to fight back to the Imperial Star and rebel directly, the emperor looked at Austin with a loving face and called out his childhood name.

"Seth, you are my son. As a father, I will never believe anyone's false accusations against you. I know there must be some misunderstanding and someone must be trying to frame you. Don't worry, your father absolutely believes in you..." The emperor spoke earnestly, like a good father who cares about his son but can't do anything because of his status: "But with the solid evidence in front of me, it's really hard for me to do it... After all, there was a saying in the ancient Earth era that 'a prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as a commoner'..."

The emperor looked at Austin with a loving face, combining both firmness and gentleness. He just wanted to scare Austin with the treason and make this son who made him feel threatened hand over the military power that he feared.

If Austin handed over his military power obediently, it would mean that Austin had become a well-trained loyal dog. Even if he, as the master, slapped him in the face and wanted his life, he would still be loyal to him... He could even keep him for a few more days out of the father-son relationship.

But if Austin refused to hand over his military power, with the support of the four dukes and the other two legions, the emperor would not hesitate to take action against him, or even the queen's forces.

Austin looked at the noble and great emperor of the empire through the 3D projection and sneered: "Since Your Majesty trusts me, why do you insist that I give up my military power and return to the Imperial Star? In this way, aren't you treating me like a criminal?"

"Seth, your father is not treating you the same as a criminal, but it is difficult to stop people from gossiping in the face of solid evidence. I am your father and also the emperor of the empire... Good boy, be obedient, hand over your military power and come back to the Imperial Star. The Imperial Star has your parents and is your home. On the Imperial Star, as long as you come back, no one can wrongly accuse you again..." The emperor coaxed him with kind words.

Austin sneered and said, "What if I don't go back and don't hand over the military power?"

His father, the Emperor, thought that he could disregard his own life and death with just a few words from him and happily resign his military power and return to the Imperial Star. He was so naive.

"Auston Camihil, are you planning to rebel?" The emperor was furious as he had not expected that he would dare to speak to him in such a tone.

Austin said word by word: "Even if we rebelled, it was because my father forced us to do so..."

"I am your father. Do you think that if I persuade you to return to the Imperial Star now, I could harm you?" The emperor shouted from a distance. In fact, he was not ready for a real war.

Austin said coldly: "You said the same thing to Marshal Xue Xin back then, but what happened to the Xue family? Nearly a hundred people in the family were killed, and even his married sister, Mrs. Callander, was assassinated along with her husband and the child in her belly more than a decade later."

The emperor did not expect him to mention this so suddenly, and his face turned pale: "You——"

Without giving him a chance to speak, Austin cut off the communication.

He would never believe the emperor.

Austin directly disobeyed orders and refused to give up his military power and return to Imperial Star.

Without saying a word, the emperor ordered several other garrison legions around the Gemini system to point their guns directly at the Gemini Fortress.

With the support of the four dukes and two other legions, the emperor was ready to go to war with his own son at any time.
