A soft, cute, and the only silver-blue little mermaid in the galaxy meets the cold and invincible God of War, the Crown Prince of the Empire.
Qiao You, a former Royal Highness from ancient Ea...
The order to close all routes from all planets in the Empire to the Alliance was issued by His Majesty the Empire.
Eleanor and others tried to guide the matter positively through various media outlets, attempting to steer the alliance's actions toward conspiracy theories, but this could not completely appease the public.
On the third day after this order was issued, the imperial family was about to succumb to the pressure.
Some ministers of the empire also submitted memorials demanding the opening of the sea route, arguing that the freedom of the people should be granted.
"Brother, what should we do?" Qiao You was in the Wuxin Hall of the palace, working with Helian Jue. He had already seen several memorials from ministers, all of which were advocating for the opening of the waterway.
Protests and demonstrations have already broken out on some planets, and if this continues, it will cause great trouble for the stability of the empire.
"It's alright." Helian Jue remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic. He piled up the letters from the ministers and set them aside.
Qiao You was anxious, but he could only endure it. He had to trust his brother; his brother would find a way.
The day after the alliance issued the decree, Helian Jue moved to the palace with Qiao You and diligently handled political affairs.
"Your Highness, Xinle and Bion wish to see you," Lin Zhong announced.
Qiao You was quite surprised. Why did the two of them suddenly come?
Helian Jue was not surprised and had Lin Zhong bring the two of them in.
"Baby, why don't you go inside and sit for a while?" Helian Jue asked. Little Fish had been in mermaid form for a while and wasn't feeling comfortable in human form.
Qiao You had previously interacted with Xin Le and Bion in human form. Although human form and fish form are quite different, their appearances hadn't changed much. If you paid attention, it would be easy to notice something was wrong.
Facing Bion and Xinle, who were not trusted confidants like Lin Zhong, Helian Jue thought it best to be cautious.
Qiao You nodded; he could hear the conversation outside even while sitting inside.
Helian Jue got up, picked up his precious fish, and went into the lounge inside the study.
Just as they had settled Xiaoyu in, Lin Zhong came in with Bion and Xinle.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Bion walked slightly ahead, always a step ahead of Xinle, a protective stance.
Helian Jue slightly raised his hand, "No need for formalities."
After exchanging a quick glance, Bion and Xinle were filled with courage and said, "Your Highness, we are willing to serve as witnesses to expose the alliance's conspiracy."
"This will allow these temporarily misled people to know the truth, and thus resolve the current predicament facing the empire."
This method was a decision that Bion and Xinle discussed for two days before making. They knew that if they stood up and told all this, they would face all kinds of questions, threats, insults and even assassination attempts, but they were not afraid.
When they fled the Alliance, they were prepared to die at any moment, but they were blessed by Lady Luck and landed safely, got jobs they liked, and lived the life they had dreamed of countless times.
But countless creatures in the Alliance still live lives worse than death, their mission of escaping unfinished.
The Alliance now wants to lure people to live on White Star with these generous conditions, repeating the same mistakes. They don't want to see such a scene unfold.
At the same time, the Crown Prince of the Empire, Helian Jue, is their benefactor, and they should repay him.
Helian Jue raised his head to look at Bian and Xinle. There were various emotions in their eyes, but no retreat or fear.
“I appreciate your kindness,” Helian Jue replied, “but it’s not to the point where it’s absolutely necessary.”
Bion thought that Helian Jue was afraid they were unwilling, so he hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, we are willing."
"Xinle and I are where we are today because of you and Mr. Adrian..."
Helian Jue stood up and slowly walked towards Bion. "I understand."
"There is a better way to solve this problem."
Bion and Xinle were still somewhat skeptical, but they understood that once the other had made a decision, there was no room for change.
"If Your Highness needs our help, please give the order as soon as possible." After saying this, Bion left.
Qiao You walked out of the inner lounge right on time, "Brother, is there really a way?"
"Hmm." Helian Jue nodded. The current public opinion was within his expectations, and he had already thought of a way to deal with it.
However, this method will be more effective if it is announced when public emotions have reached their peak.
Qiao You leaned closer and said, "Brother, tell me first."
He pressed his lips to Helian Jue's face and kissed him several times.
Helian Jue held the fish in his arms, turned on his personal terminal, and played a video.
The video is only five minutes long, but it contains a lot of information.
Qiao You's mouth involuntarily opened, showing extreme surprise!
"This..." Qiao You didn't expect that there was a second half to this video. Why didn't her brother release it sooner, instead of letting the public misunderstand it for so many years?
The first half of the video shows the previously viral video on StarNet of Helian Jue massacring Alliance civilians, but the second half of the video clearly records a series of changes in the Alliance civilians and soldiers.
Limb dissolution, green liquid, and some other biological characteristics.
Spiders, dogs, cats, horses...
It grew many spider-like legs, a dog's tail, a cat's whiskers, and a horse's face...
The whole thing was bizarre and terrifying; Qiao You's hand holding the personal terminal was trembling.
Helian Jue immediately turned off the video. "Baby, were you scared?"
"Let's not watch anymore."
"My brother is here."
Qiao You leaned against Helian Jue's chest, his heart pounding rapidly. This scene had a tremendous impact on him.
He knew the Alliance was conducting various biological experiments, such as Xinle shrinking in to accept the merman transformation, but he just felt it was cruel and felt sorry for Xinle who had gone through so much pain.
The video he just watched starkly exposed the horrifying nature of the Alliance's experiments...
"Brother, the people in the Alliance are wicked!" Qiao You said indignantly.
Helian Jue comforted the little fish in his arms, "Yes! Very bad!"
"Brother, are you going to reveal all of this?" Qiao You asked, looking up at him.
Helian Jue replied, "Yes. The people have the right to know. Under the current circumstances, only by letting the people know about the alliance's conspiracy can we better prevent it."
Qiao You felt there was no better way than to let the public know.
When will it be announced?
"Tomorrow at noon."
