Chapter 20 My brother wants to kill me, so I strike first

The footsteps of death were getting closer and closer. Ming Nuo was pacing around in the lounge anxiously, pulling at his silver hair.

Seeing the window was open, he ran over in a hurry and was about to jump out of the window. Just as he jumped onto the windowsill, he looked down and was frightened by the height of more than ten floors, his face turned pale.

Mingnuo came down tremblingly, holding on to the wall. His legs were a little weak, but he was afraid that Zelphis would push the door open and come in, so he hurried to lock the door, with his back pressed against it.

What to do, what to do...

Mingnuo was sweating profusely, his mind in a mess. He could only pray that his brother would ignore this room, leave quickly, and never notice him.

Outside the door, Zelphis was about to pass by the lounge door, but he stopped for some unknown reason, his golden eyes fixed on the tightly closed door.

Middle-aged Headmaster Tang Qingyun possessed a gentle temperament. Even when addressing the imperial leader, her tone remained as kind and gentle as if she were addressing a younger member of her family. "Your Majesty, this lounge is unused. Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Zelphis looked away: "No need..."

At this moment, a long-lost but extremely familiar spiritual power timidly wrapped around the corner of his clothes, conveying the owner's anxiety.

It’s like a child who was frightened by a horror story, crying at night and holding a pillow to find his trusted brother, hoping to get a loving hug to comfort his wounded heart.

Zelphis's eyes moved slightly, and he stared at the lounge. "Is there anyone in this lounge?"

Director Tang was unsure, "There shouldn't be any children in there. Could someone have gone in there for fun?"

As she said that, she went to knock on the door, "Is anyone there?"

Ming Nuo covered his mouth and dared not say a word, not knowing that the mental power he unconsciously leaked had already exposed the ups and downs of his emotions.

The spirit power ran to its brother crying loudly, telling him how scared it was.

The spiritual intimacy between blood relatives could not be severed. Zelphis suppressed the urge to soothe the other's spiritual power and reached out to grasp the doorknob. After realizing that the door was locked, he calmly broke the lock.

The others also subconsciously kept quiet.

"Why has the atmosphere suddenly become so tense? Is there really a child hiding in here?"

[Maybe he ran in there out of play? But why didn't the child respond when the headmaster called out to him just now?]

[It can’t be an assassin…]

[Dude, this is Ankh Gardens. No weapons are allowed inside. Are you going to fight melee if an assassin comes?]

There was a heated discussion on Starnet, with everyone speculating what was hidden in this lounge.

Ming Nuo was still unaware of the discussion he had sparked. He leaned against the door, listening to the noises outside. It was completely silent. Could it be that they had already left? Thinking of this, the heavy stone in his heart slowly fell to the ground.

Mingnuo let out a breath and stood up, then the door was suddenly pushed open. Zelphis was tall and stood at the door against the light, staring at Mingnuo with his golden eyes.

Seren, who was originally wandering outside the crowd, saw Mingnuo. His golden eyes suddenly lit up. He pushed aside the three stunned principals and looked Mingnuo up and down.

After just looking at each other for a few seconds, Mingnuo's heart almost jumped into his throat.

My brother is coming to kill him?!

“Ding-dong…”

A subtle bell sounded, and Ming Nuo suddenly remembered that he was not completely powerless to resist. Since his brother wanted to kill him, he would strike first!

The bell made of Tassan stone quickly deformed and took shape. Mingnuo grasped the hilt of the sword with his backhand, and using the combat methods taught to him by the practical teacher at school, he swung the sharp blade at Zelphis.

The live broadcast was shut down in the first second of the incident, but everyone was not stupid and quickly pushed the hot topic of [Assassination in Anka Garden] to the top of the list.

Zelphis looked at Mingno as if he was looking at a lamb that was forced into a desperate situation, trying hard to knock over the enemy with its tender horns.

Amid the crowd's exclamations, Zelphis drew the long sword from his waist and faced Mingnuo's attack, his mental power wrapped around the sword blades and they collided with each other.

The wind blew up Mingnuo's hair on his forehead. He pursed his lips tightly, lowered his brows, and his originally round and childish eyes also had a little sharpness. At first glance, he was 80% similar to Zelphis opposite him.

Zelphis took the blow easily, raised his eyes to look at Mingnuo's brows, and almost at that moment, he was sure that the young man in front of him was his brother who had died many years ago.

But Lorian... he should have died.

Zelphis was dazed for a moment. Mingnuo seized the opportunity, quickly sheathed his sword, bent down and slipped under Zelphis' arm. Just when he was about to escape, someone grabbed his collar.

"Ah! Let me go!" Ming Nuo struggled.

At this moment, the guards from Ankh Gardens arrived in a hurry. Zelphis glanced at them and said in a low, cold voice, "All of you retreat!"

The guards obediently laid down their weapons and retreated to the back.

The three principals looked at each other. Principal Xu Yao examined Ming Nuo's appearance and said in surprise, "This child... His Highness Lorian?"

"No, that's impossible." Director Tang was old. The moment she saw Ming Nuo, her hands were shaking and her voice was unsteady. "We performed the autopsy ourselves, and the child's body was buried in the royal mausoleum... How is that possible?"

Ming Nuo was almost scared to death, and he started crying like a loser, with tears falling like beads from a broken string.

He didn't dare look up at Zelphis's face, and could only cry and beg for mercy, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Brother, please don't kill me, I will leave immediately."

When Zelphis heard the word "brother", his heart skipped a beat. He placed his hot palm on the back of Mingnuo's neck and held him down tightly.

Do you want to strangle him to death?

Ming Nuo closed his eyes tightly, shivered, and waited desperately for death to come. But there was no movement from the opposite side for a long time. He tentatively opened one eye, tilted his head and took a quick look.

Zelphis's face was horrible, with bloodshot eyes. He looked terrifying. Mingnuo's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to peek again.

Zelphis leaned forward slightly and suddenly stretched out his hand. Mingnuo subconsciously shrank his neck, but his hand just fell on his face and gently wiped away his tears.

Mingnuo's mind went blank for a moment.

Brother... wiped his tears?

Zelphis's voice rang out from above him, a subtle nervousness and caution in his voice, as if he was afraid of scaring him. "You just... called me brother?"

Mingnuo didn't dare to speak and treated him with silence.

Zelphis looked at Mingnuo's face, which was enlarged proportionally. It was a face he would never forget.

When Lorian was still in the embryo incubator, he often came to Anka Garden to see him after school. Through a layer of glass, he watched his brother gradually take shape from the size of a sesame seed, grow limbs... until he was "born" ten months later.

Zelphis felt the resonance of the spiritual power coming from the same bloodline, and he called out softly, "Lorian?"

Ming Nuo lowered his head and said, "Yeah."

The next second, he fell into a warm embrace.

Mingnuo opened his eyes wide in shock. He looked at Zelphis who was holding him in his arms. He was confused for a moment and asked him cautiously, "You, you won't kill me?"

Zelphis frowned. He noticed Mingnuo's unusual attitude. When he heard this, a nameless anger suddenly burned in his heart. He suppressed his anger and said, "You think I will kill you? Who said such a thing to you?!"

Ming Nuo was stumped. This wasn't the way he'd expected. Shouldn't his brother have stabbed him immediately upon meeting him? Why was he speaking to him so gently?

Ming Nuo's mind was in a mess. "My father said you would kill me."

"dad?"

“…My adoptive father.”

Zelphis looked at the frightened Mingnuo, knowing that there were many hidden things he didn't know. He couldn't push him too hard now, so he took Mingnuo's hand and said, "Come back with me first."

Ming Nuo immediately shook his head and said, "I came here with my aunt. I want to wait for her."

My father is my adoptive father, so this aunt is definitely not my biological aunt.

Zelphis said curtly, "She's not your aunt."

Dilina heard this when she rushed over after hearing the noise. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Okay, Zelphis. I told you that you would definitely slander me in front of the baby! I'm not his biological aunt? Do you dare to say this again in front of your father's grave?!"

When Zelphis saw her, a blank expression appeared on his normally calm face for a few seconds.

How come this aunt is my biological aunt?

But Zelphis quickly adjusted himself and grabbed Minno's wrist, restraining him to himself, "Sorry Auntie, that's not what I meant."

When Ming Nuo saw Dilina, he immediately called out to her repeatedly, “Auntie, auntie, please save me.”

Just as Dilina took a step forward, Seren jumped behind her like a cat, raised his hand and hit her on the neck, knocking her unconscious.

Seren caught Dilina's body and handed her to Director Tang, saying briefly, "She's having a seizure."

Without even considering who was making him angry, Director Tang's lips twitched, he secretly complained in his heart, but on the surface he still said politely, "Thank you, Your Highness Seren."

Director Tang then arranged for Dilina to be sent back. Zelphis ordered, "Notify Finilte and have her take care of her aunt."

Director Tang: “…Okay.”

Finilte is probably the only person in the world who can restrain Dilina.

Mingnuo watched the bad guy who knocked his aunt unconscious walking towards him, and was so scared that he hid behind Zelphis.

Although he was also afraid of his brother, it now seemed that his brother, who had never hurt him so far, was a hundred times safer than this stranger.

Zelphis held Mingnuo's shoulder, "He's my uncle."

Seren came close to Mingnuo and looked him up and down. Suddenly, he stuffed the flash ball he had been holding into Mingnuo's hand and said, "Here you go. Call me uncle."

It's like a greeting gift, and also like a gesture of goodwill.

Mingnuo looked down at the flashing ball, then looked up at Seren. This young uncle was extremely young and looked not much older than him. His cat-like golden eyes were sparkling with anticipation.

Mingnuo's fear of Seren was slightly reduced, "Uncle."

Seren was visibly happy and squeezed next to Mingnuo, "Do you want any more toys? I'll help you get them."

Ming Nuo: “…Ah?”

Rob? !

Only then did he see a little boy with red eyes standing at the door, staring at the flashing ball in his hand with a wronged look. It was obvious that the owner of the toy had come.

Under the child's condemning gaze, the flashing ball in Mingnuo's hand instantly became a hot potato, and he quickly returned the flashing ball to the child.

The child then held back his tears, didn't even dare to look at Seren again, and ran away with the flash ball.

Seren was a little depressed: "I stole this."

Ming Nuo looked at his childish behavior and tried to reason with this uncle whom he was not very familiar with, "But this belongs to someone else."

Seren: "I took it by my own ability, so it's mine."

Ming Nuo: “…You are unreasonable.”

Seren was like a criticized kitten, with dissatisfaction written all over his body, but he still stayed with Mingnuo.

Ming Nuo looked at him, and the fear and vigilance in his heart suddenly disappeared slowly at this moment, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes. The existence that he had been afraid of before... suddenly didn't seem so scary anymore.

The uncle and nephew became strangely familiar with each other, and Mingnuo was actually a little afraid of his own brother, which made Zelphis a little unhappy, but he did not show it.

As Director Tang saw the tense atmosphere slowly dissipate, she breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward. "Your Majesty, would you and the young prince like to get a genetic test?"

Lorian's death happened to be at the same time as the previous emperor and queen passed away. In order not to cause widespread panic, they could only conceal the news temporarily. What they announced to the public over the years was that he was ill and needed rest.

But there are also many people who know the truth. Now that he has suddenly returned, some people will definitely speculate whether there is a conspiracy. A genetic test can solve many problems.

Zelphis suddenly remembered the genetic test Garland had done last time. "A bone marrow analysis, and also to check for any residue of the Y18 agent in his system."

Director Tang knew very well that the Y18 drug could change the gene sequence. She took Ming Nuo to the testing room and took the sample herself. During this period, Ming Nuo lay on the operating table and did not feel anything unusual.

Anka Garden was very efficient. In less than half an hour, the kinship test report of Mingno and Zelphis came out, and the result naturally showed that they were brothers.

At the same time, there were indeed drug residues in Mingnuo's body.

The moment Director Tang saw the result, tears immediately fell from his eyes. Lorian's death in the attack in Anka Garden has always been a pain in everyone's heart.

They failed to fulfill their responsibilities, but fortunately, there is still room for recovery.

In the corridor, Zelphis, Mingno and Seren sat side by side on the bench. Mingno's fear of his brother could not be eliminated for a while, so he moved quietly and leaned towards his uncle Seren.

Zelphis noticed his little action but said nothing.

The gap created by the separation over the past decade is unbridgeable. There are too many things about Ming Nuo that need to be clarified: his hair that inexplicably turned white, his damaged eyes, the Y18 potion in his body, and his previous connection with the Ming family of the Saichuan Empire...

Zelphis thought of the Ming family, his eyes darkening. Seeing Ming Nuo leaning his head against the wall and talking to Seren, he sent a message to Garland, "Intercept Ming Jue's starship, revoke his clearance, and prohibit him from entering the empire."

Garland's messages were also responded to very quickly.

[How does Nuonuo get home? ]

[Wait! Did you see Nono? Hahahaha, did you guys get a bone marrow analysis?! Nono is really Lorian, right? I knew I wouldn't make a mistake. My eyes are my ruler!]

Looking at the numerous messages popping up, Zelphis simply typed a single word in reply: [Yes.]

Then he ignored the bombardment of news about Garland.

After Mingnuo's identity was confirmed, Zelphis wanted to take him back to the palace. However, Mingnuo still remembered that he had to go home with his uncle tomorrow, so he asked uncertainly, "Can I still leave with my uncle tomorrow?"

He added, "My uncle is my adoptive father's older brother."

Zelphis pulled on his wrist, "I've already informed him not to come. You'll be staying with us."

Ming Nuo had anticipated this outcome. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt like his brother... seemed to care about him a lot. At least he wasn't the bad, mean brother his father had said he was.

Did his father lie to him?

No, Dad might have been misled by the comments on Starnet, and that's why he mistakenly thought my brother was a tyrant, just like he was before.

Mingnuo nodded secretly, thinking that this guess was very likely.

Because Mingnuo's guardians had changed mid-term, his attending physician informed Zerphis of his eye condition. "It's not a genetic disease, but rather an external injury. He still needs conservative treatment and a period of recuperation."

Zelphis listened carefully to the doctor's instructions, but his palms clenched little by little, even his eyes were damaged... He couldn't imagine how much pain Lorian was in at that time.

After taking the newly prescribed medicine from the doctor, Mingnuo and Zelphis got on the hovercraft. Seren wanted to follow, but was grabbed by Chief Butler Fodi and dragged into the next car.

There were only Mingnuo and Zelphis in the hover car. At first, neither of them spoke and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Mingnuo was certain his brother wouldn't kill him and wasn't deliberately distancing himself from Zelphis. He looked at him curiously and tentatively asked, "Brother?"

"Um."

There was a response, and it seemed that his brother was not as terrible as he thought.

Ming Nuo felt happy for a moment, like a small animal constantly testing its safety zone. "Brother, you really won't hit me, right? You won't kill me either?"

Zelphis glanced at him and said, "No."

After getting his promise, Mingnuo's tense spirit relaxed. He shook his calves and turned to look at the scenery outside the car window.

Fine golden sunlight shone on his hair, and his azure eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight. Zelphis turned his head and stared at him, suddenly speaking, "Can you tell me about your past?"

Ming Nuo was stunned. "Previous experience?"

"Yeah, like where do you live?"

Ming Nuo recalled, "I have lived in many places with my father, including planets covered with dense forests and distant galaxies entering a small ice age..."

From Mingno's description, Zelphis saw his dependence on "Dad" and the extremely important role that "Dad" played in Mingno's growth.

Although not rich, but not poor in spirit.

Mingnuo was also well educated by him.

During the fifteen-minute drive, Mingnuo talked for fifteen minutes, telling Zelphis all the interesting, sad and unfortunate things he had experienced in detail.

Mingnuo spoke with great enthusiasm, and Zelphis listened quietly, responding to him from time to time to encourage him to continue speaking more happily.

Knowing that Mingnuo still likes lambs, Zelphis smiled and said, "When you get home, you can raise white cotton."

"White cotton?"

"Ah, a little white lamb."

Ming Nuo's eyes suddenly lit up. Lin Yu had told him before that there was a very cute little white lamb in the palace garden. He quickly flipped through the pictures of the lamb and asked, "Is this the one?"

Zelphis glanced at the familiar snow-white lamb and said, "Yes, that's it."

She is really his dream girl!

Mingnuo was overjoyed and asked Zelphis a lot of questions about the lamb. Zelphis would also go to feed Baimian on weekdays, so he could answer all of Mingnuo's questions.

"It has a good temper and isn't picky about food. You can pet it as much as you want, but don't be too loud, or it will think you're yelling at it and get angry and ignore you."

If others heard His Majesty speak such a long speech in one breath, they would definitely suspect that this was a fake video generated by AI.

After listening to this, Mingnuo wrote down all the precautions. Seeing that he couldn't wait any longer, Zelphis took Mingnuo directly to the garden to meet the lamb after getting off the starship.

Mingnuo still remembered a little uncle, so he turned to Seren and asked, "Uncle, do you want to go with us to see the lambs?"

Seren wanted to go too, but Grandpa Fodie stopped him and whispered to him, "Give the brothers some time alone together."

Seren curled his lips. He also wanted to be with Mingnuo. But he still listened to Grandpa Fudi and rejected Mingnuo's invitation. "You go ahead. I have something else to do."

In fact, there is nothing wrong at all. Since the three Seren brothers missed the throne, their only duty is to support the current emperor, from Herbert to Zelphis now.

Seren suddenly remembered that he had two older brothers who didn't know that Lorian had returned, and immediately ran to find them.

In the Royal Training Grounds, Achir was watching the new recruits undergoing drills with their instructors with an irritated look on his face. "They're so weak! They run slowly, their reactions are slow, and their limbs are like they've never been trained. They're all useless!"

Bodwin was lying on a recliner, reading a book, but Archer kept walking around, making his eyes hurt. He closed his eyes and said in a harsh tone, "Brother, are you having ADHD?"

Aqier glanced at him and said, "Brother, do the elderly have osteoporosis?"

The two brothers ignored each other after a quarrel. When Seren ran over, he didn't ask what their quarrel was about. He announced directly: "Lorian is not dead. He is back."

Birdwin and Archer turned to look at him at the same time, their expressions showing the same disbelief.

Aqir excitedly grabbed Seren's shoulders, "Really? It's really Lorian? You didn't recognize the wrong person?!"

Seren nodded, and Achir immediately rushed out, sparks and lightning all the way. He turned back a few minutes later, with an unstoppable smile on his face, "Where is Lorian?"

Seren: "...went to the garden with Zelphis to look after the lambs."

The next second, Archer ran out again.

Seren stared at Bodwin, who remained motionless and began to look at the intelligent computer calmly. "Brother, aren't you going to see Lorian?"

Birdwin said calmly, "Why rush? Will Lorian run away this time? Besides, I don't like him that much. He has always been as soft as cotton since he was a child. He is boring."

Seren thought for a moment and said, "Oh, so you like the carefree type like my second brother, and you like the sullen type like Zelphis even more."

Birdwin felt nauseous, but he forced himself to hold it back from denying it loudly, gritting his teeth and swallowing it.

Since Baldwin didn't want to see Lorian, Seren didn't try to persuade him. He heard that Lorian already had a new uncle and didn't need Baldwin as his old uncle.

Big uncle, second uncle, little uncle...

There is no duplication of names, it is perfect.

Seren left Birdwin and went to find Mingno.

…

Today is a sunny day, and the garden is full of greenery. A snow-white lamb is nestling in the sun, leisurely eating tender grass. It is only the size of an adult cat, with its pink ears drooping and its eyes half-closed as it chews the food in its mouth.

Suddenly, the sunlight was blocked by someone. Bai Mian opened her eyes like black grapes and tilted her head to look at the strange boy in front of her.

Ming Nuo couldn't control himself the moment he saw this cute and adorable creature. He took small steps to look left and right, admiring the lamb's unparalleled beauty from every angle.

"Can I, can I touch him?" Ming Nuo stuttered excitedly. "I promise I'll be gentle and won't hurt him."

Zelphis squatted down and touched Baimian's head. After confirming that it was now docile and harmless, he nodded to Mingnuo, "Baimian was originally given to you as a pet. You don't need my permission to touch it."

Ming Nuo was so dizzy after hearing this, "Give me the white cotton?"

Zelphis nodded and took a step aside to allow Mingnuo to have a higher contact with the white cotton.

Ming Nuo slowly placed his hand on Bai Mian's soft fur. The lamb had been basking in the sun for a while, and its body was warm. Ming Nuo couldn't help but laugh and called the lamb's name, "Bai Mian?"

Baimian looked at him with her dark eyes, "Mee~"

Sweet and soft.

Mingnuo was like a drunk, circling around Baimian excitedly, touching its head and its tail.

In order to hear its cute bleating voice again, Mingnuo also learned to communicate in the lamb's language, "Baa?"

Bai Mian: “Meh~”

"Mee-mee-mee!"

"Mee~"

“…”

The man and the sheep bleated at each other, and Zelphis, who was watching, almost couldn't suppress the corners of his lips that turned up. He saw Mingnuo and Baimian playing happily, so he took the handmade basket on the side and handed it to Mingnuo, "I'll show you your room later. Of course, you can take it with you."

White Cotton recognized the basket decorated with flowers. When Zelphis placed the basket in front of it, it jumped into the basket consciously and curled up into a fluffy cotton ball.

Mingnuo picked up the basket and followed Zelphis into the interior of the magnificent castle with light steps.

At this time in the school, the teacher's lecture voice without a single rise or fall echoed in the classroom. Field yawned and supported his chin with boredom.

Look at my deskmate, Sedwick, who is writing furiously.

Look at Lin Yu again, he is busy writing.

The two top scorers were studying hard. Field sighed and suddenly missed Mingnuo. Usually at this time, as long as he turned his head, Mingnuo would look at him, smile at each other, and then secretly hand him some snacks.

Field was very uncomfortable with the sudden disappearance of his partner who used to slack off in class.

While the teacher wasn't paying attention, Field secretly opened the smart brain and wanted to send a message to ask Mingnuo what he was doing.

The red headline on StarNet attracted his attention. When Field saw the news that His Majesty was assassinated in Anka Garden, his eyes suddenly widened.

A fierce warrior.

Field felt emotional in his heart and immediately went to check who this warrior who dared to assassinate the peak of combat power was, but the official has not given a reply yet, only a screenshot captured from the live broadcast.

Field looked up at the teacher stealthily, muted the volume of the intelligent computer completely, and then clicked on the video. After a few seconds, he raised his head with a dazed look on his face.

This assassin who flashed by...why does he look a little familiar?

Field stared at the iconic silver-white hair with wide eyes for a few seconds, and finally couldn't help but poked Sedwick's arm.

Sedwick glanced at him, thinking he was trying to gossip with him again, so he simply ignored him.

Field moved closer to him and lowered his voice, "Look, Mingnuo is in the video."

Sedwick then glanced at him and looked down at the video under the table. When he saw Mingnuo holding the sword and swinging it towards Zelphis with great momentum, he held his breath and his heart beat wildly.

Is this white-haired idiot crazy? How dare he draw his sword against His Majesty?!

"Teacher, I need to go out for something." Sedwick stood up immediately, said something to the teacher and rushed out of the classroom. Field followed closely behind him and winked at Lin Yu before leaving.

Lin Yu: “…”

The teacher sneered, "What? You want to go out too?"

Lin Yu didn't even know what happened, and was a little confused: "Something unexpected happened."

The teacher didn't make things too difficult for him and let him out.

In the corridor outside the classroom, Sedwick logged onto StarNet and watched the ten-second video over and over again, confirming with absolute certainty that the daring assassin in the video was Mingnuo.

But shouldn't Mingnuo have gone with Dilina to Anka Garden for an eye checkup today? Even if they met, they shouldn't have started a fight. Mingnuo is so timid. Did he have the courage to borrow money?

Sedwick was puzzled, anxious and angry, so he contacted Garland directly, but Garland was busy at the time and he couldn't get in touch with him.

A brother who is never reliable.

Sedwick could only contact his biological father with a cold face. Marshal Stewart was on a mission in a distant border galaxy. When he received a call from his beloved son, Marshal Stewart was obviously stunned for a second.

"Oh my god, you finally remembered that you have a biological father who has been lost for many years." Marshal Stewart said with emotion, "Tell me, what did you come to see me for?"

He is very self-aware and knows that his son is fine and will definitely not contact him as his father.

Sedwick: "Help me get a friend."

"Sure." Marshal Stewart agreed without hesitation. "What did your friend do to get arrested and put in juvenile detention? Let me make it clear, I don't care about murder or arson."

“Not juvenile detention.”

"Um?"

"He was arrested for attempting to assassinate His Majesty. We don't know what happened yet. Can you try to save his life?"

There was silence for a long time. Sedwick called out "Dad" and Marshal Stuart's vicissitudes of life voice slowly sounded, "Can I call you Dad? Don't play tricks on me."

Sedwick: "..."

"There must be a misunderstanding. He doesn't have the courage to assassinate Your Majesty."

It took Sedwick a full half hour to convince Marshal Stewart to help him find out the information, while Field, who was standing next to him, also asked his Marshal father to help save Mingno, but he was scolded.

In comparison, Lin Yu's father is much more rational.

Marshal Lin: "Ming Nuo?"

Lin Yu: “Yeah.”

"good."

The conversation ended here. Lin Yu looked up and saw Field still arguing with his father with a red face about whether Mingnuo was innocent. Finally, Field's father's powerful voice ended the debate.

"I'm telling you, Field, if that Mingnuo is really a terrorist, I'm going to whip your brains out like a top when I get back!"

After Field hung up the phone, he also looked at Lin Yu and suddenly realized that the difference between his fathers could be so great.

At this time, Ming Nuo, who was far away in the palace, did not know the efforts his friends had made to rescue him. He visited his new room, which was very similar to the one his aunt had prepared for him, almost a copy and paste.

Ming Nuo blinked and looked at his brother.

Zelphis said without a trace of guilt, "The housekeeper who has been taking care of you at Flynn Manor said you like this style."

This point cannot be denied, but Ming Nuo was a little conflicted. "Can't I really leave with my uncle? I promised him before, and breaking the promise is not a good behavior."

Zelphis raised his hand, gently placed it on his soft head, and touched his hair. He had to make it clear to Mingnuo, "Mingjue is not your biological uncle. We are your relatives."

Ming Nuo pursed his lips and said, "But... uncle is also very good to me."

Just because he found his relatives, he abandoned his uncle? Mingnuo couldn't do such a thing. He hated such immoral behavior from the bottom of his heart.

Zelphis also knew that the bond between Mingnuo and Mingjue was inseparable. Perhaps in his eyes, blood relationship was not more important than companionship in daily life.

"The situation in the Saichuan Empire is very chaotic right now. It would be dangerous for you to go there now. Besides, Ming Jue has his own things to deal with."

These things are not fabricated by Zelphis. The royal family of the Saichuan Empire is not doing well, and the current government affairs are basically placed on Ming Jue. He has consolidated the power of the military, but the parliament does not support him, and there is a serious conflict between the two sides.

Moreover, there is an increasingly powerful church in the Saichuan Empire that believes that bionic people are the source of all suffering. However, the Saichuan Empire itself is a major country that manufactures bionic people, so contradictions are rampant.

If Mingnuo goes there at this time, his safety may not be guaranteed.

Ming Nuo was nervous: "Will uncle be in danger?"

"Won't."

After all, he was the culprit who disrupted everything, but there was no need to tell Mingnuo all this.

Ming Nuo was relieved to know that his uncle was safe. He didn't want to cause trouble for his uncle, so he agreed with his brother to live in the palace and not go to the Saichuan Empire.

"Then have you told Uncle I won't be going to his place?"

Zelphis, who hadn't contacted Ming Jue at all, was silent for a moment, then lied calmly, "He told you to stay home and come visit when he has time."

Ming Nuo didn't think much about it. The heavy stone in his heart fell to the ground. He relaxed and leaned beside the basket, looking at the snow-white lamb lying inside.

Baimian is not afraid of strangers at all. He is already familiar with Mingnuo's smell. When Mingnuo reaches out to touch him, the sensible little lamb will take the initiative to stretch his neck and rub his palm.

Mingnuo was so delighted that he was overjoyed. At this time, Butler Fudi knocked on the door and brought Mingnuo a freshly made cake and a fruit platter.

Zelphis placed his hand on Mingno's shoulder and said softly, "He's Grandpa Fudi."

Ming Nuo bowed quickly, "Hello, Grandpa Fudi."

"My little prince." Fudi's eyes filled with tears. He quickly put the things aside and stroked Mingnuo's hand. "You have suffered a lot over the years."

Although Ming Nuo didn't know this elderly grandfather, he could feel the kindness in his eyes. He smiled and shook his head, "It's not bitter."

There were wrinkles at the corners of Fudi's eyes, which were the signs of the passage of time. He looked straight at Mingnuo and realized that fifteen years had passed in a flash. The little prince who could hardly walk steadily was now almost an adult.

Fudi wiped his tears sadly and handed the small cake to Mingnuo, "Your Highness, these are freshly made cakes, would you like to try them?"

Ming Nuo was not used to Grandpa Fudi's respectful tone. After taking the cake, he said, "You can call me Ming Nuo. Many elders call me Nono, or Lorian."

Butler Fudi smiled and said, "Okay, Nono."

Ming Nuo also curled his eyebrows. He was a little hungry. While eating the cake, Zelphis had to deal with the public opinion on the Star Network and went out temporarily. Only Grandpa Fudi was with Ming Nuo.

Ming Nuo was very focused when eating, but he couldn't stand the loving gaze of someone beside him. Ming Nuo gave a piece to Grandpa Fudi and said, "Grandpa, you have some too."

Grandpa Fudi smiled and refused, "No, No, eat more. You'll be cute if you're plump and white. You're too thin now."

Ming Nuo pinched the flesh on his cheek, not agreeing with this statement. Back in the dungeon, everyone who saw him would say, "Your father raised you so well."

Then she pinched the soft flesh on his face, and Mingnuo knew that he was far from being called "too thin".

Ming Nuo silently swallowed the pastry in his mouth. He decided to wait until next time to lose weight. He reached out for the cut peaches again.

"Lorian!" A deafening roar rang out, and Mingnuo's heart trembled with fear. He quickly withdrew his hand and looked at the strange man who suddenly pushed the door open.

Bai Mian was also frightened by the noise and started bleating, curling up restlessly in the basket.

The man was strong and sturdy, with a fierce look on his face, but he was also undeniably handsome. His golden eyes were like a ferocious leopard, as if he was about to tear his prey to pieces in the next second.

Mingnuo was just such a herbivorous animal that was being stared at. He stood there in a daze, watching the ferocious man stride towards him.

The mental energy he leaked revealed his fear.

The moment Archer saw Mingnuo, he was sure that he was Lorian, and subconsciously he devoted some mental power to comfort the frightened little lamb.

The comfort from his blood relatives was very effective. Mingnuo came out of his dazed state and hid behind Grandpa Fudi in fear.

Fudi immediately protected him behind him like a child, sighed and said, "Your Highness Aqir, you scared the little prince."

"How is that possible? Lorian has been playing the lifting game with me since he was little!"

Aqier denied it flatly, but when he saw Mingnuo hiding behind Fudi with slightly red eyes, he first noticed his hair. "What's wrong with your hair? Dyeing it white? Is this the latest trend?"

Ming Nuo: “…”

Aqir didn't get a response from Mingnuo, and his confident smile gradually froze. He asked without hope, "Lorian, do you still remember me?"

Ming Nuo pursed his lips and asked cautiously, "If I don't remember you, will you beat me?"

Aqir was struck by lightning, looking like he was about to collapse, unable to accept the reality. "Have you really forgotten me?! I am your beloved second uncle! Have you forgotten the beautiful memory of you sitting on my shoulders and I took you to see the sunset?"

"I was the one who fed you your first milk, changed your diapers, and held you in my arms when you cried and refused to sleep at night."

Seren heard these words as soon as he arrived. He snorted and ruthlessly exposed him, "Only the last one is true. That's because you woke Lorian up, so the third brother let you hold him and comfort him."

When Mingnuo saw Seren, he said happily, "Uncle!"

Seren walked over to him and handed Mingnuo a handful of sorghum grass, the lamb's favorite food, "White Cotton's food."

Bai Mian had already smelled the fragrance and poked her head out, "Mee~"

Mingnuo fed the lamb some sorghum. Aqir leaned over to Mingnuo and asked persistently, "You really don't have any memory of me?"

Mingnuo racked his brains to search his second uncle's memory, but unfortunately, he found nothing. He could only shake his head honestly at Archer.

Seren reminded his silly brother, "Normal children don't start forming long-term memories until they're three or four years old. He was only one year old when he left us."

Aqir had to accept this fact. He looked at the grown-up Mingnuo and compared him with his childhood. "You look a lot like your father Koning."

This wasn't the first time Lorian had heard this, and it made him curious, "Is Daddy and I a lot like each other?"

There are only photos of his father Herbert on Star.com, and there is no frontal photo of Corning at all.

"You look a lot like him." Archer rummaged through the family album and found a photo of Herbert and Corning to show Mingnuo.

Ming Nuo was stunned at the first sight. In the photo, Koning was wearing a white suit, and his exquisite appearance with blond hair and blue eyes was enough to make everyone's eyes light up.

But his temperament is not as gentle and harmless as Ming Nuo's. The narrow corners of his eyes reveal a sharp edge, and there is always a nonchalant smile in his eyes, as if he has an arrogant feeling that everything is in his hands.

Ming Nuo looked at his biological father's face and had only one feeling, "My father looks... so smart."

"Of course, your father was the previous director of the Arsenal." Aqir also looked proud. "The current director is your father's student. He also held you in his arms."

Ming Nuo: “…”

Why does it feel like everyone in the world has hugged him?

On the other side, Zelphis was holding an online meeting in his study to discuss how to deal with StarNet public opinion when he suddenly received a communication request from Marshal Stewart.

Zelphis raised his hand slightly. The others stopped talking and he stood up and walked to the window. "What is it?"

Marshal Stewart got straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I heard you were assassinated?"

Without thinking too much, Zelphis knew that it must be Sedvik who knew about Mingnuo and asked him to rescue Mingnuo.

"Mingnuo is my brother. He won't be sentenced to death." Zelphis said bluntly, "Anything else?"

Marshal Stewart was stunned for a moment, "It's okay."

Zelphis quickly hung up the call, sat back down, and said to the members of the online meeting, "Continue."

A few seconds later, Marshal Lin requested communication and the online meeting was suspended again.

Zelphis: "Speak."

Marshal Lin blurted out two words: "Ming Nuo."

Zelphis: "My brother."

"good."

The meeting resumed, and before a few words were spoken, Marshal Coleman requested communication.

Zelphis: “…”

He hung up the call directly.

Marshal Coleman, upon seeing this, thought that Field's daring friend was most likely dead, and told his son directly, "There's no hope. Prepare for his funeral."

When Field heard this, he burst into tears.
