Chapter 31 Lan Ze
On the long white porcelain walkway, a servant knelt and wiped the floor, trying to polish the eyes of the sphinx carved on the walkway. He was so focused that he didn't notice the people passing by. He turned around and kicked over the bucket next to him, and the water splashed onto a pair of luxurious boots.
"Ah, Your Highness, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I, I..."
The servant looked up at the newcomer in panic and was stunned. The other person's face was so gloomy that it could drip water. He pretended not to hear anything, walked straight past the servant, and slowly walked to the end of the corridor.
"Strange. Isn't that prince always smiling?"
The servant shook his head, attributing Libery's rare expression to his own negligence, and continued to wipe the floor nervously.
Liberi walked out of the main hall, the sunlight hitting him, casting a shadow on the ground. His hair color looked black indoors, and only under strong light could the golden brown color that was usually hidden be seen, just like his nature.
When he learned that Sui Sui was summoned by the Sun, Liberi rushed over, fearing that she would be embarrassed.
Lan Ze.
Oh.
Liberi's eyes were stern as he turned and looked towards the end of the corridor.
"You forced me to do this."
Inside the main hall.
Qiao Susu did not make a clear statement. She neither refused nor agreed, but only said that she needed to consider it.
The emperor also understood that this was not a final decision, so he just said a few polite words and had her taken back.
She lowered her eyes in thought all the way to her bedroom and almost missed it because she was too focused. But as soon as she opened the door, she was pulled into a familiar embrace.
"Luka?" She poked her head out of the man's arms and asked in surprise, "Why did you come out?"
Luka held her tightly, not letting go, leaving her just enough space to look up at him. He lowered his eyes to gaze at the person in his arms, smiling faintly.
"They said you were out, so I had to come in and wait. You were gone for a long time."
When Qiao Susu saw that he was still wearing the special clothes for the medical cabin, she knew that he had come here without permission.
"I'm going to see the emperor. Are you really okay like this? Where are your injuries?"
"Seeing you makes me feel better."
Luka used his fingers to gently push her hair behind her ear, his eyes full of tenderness. He said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of our child."
Seeing her repeatedly shaking her head and looking at him with eyes full of trust, Luka's heart melted into a pool of water, and his originally cold and sharp facial features softened.
It turns out that love can really change a person.
He didn't believe it before, let alone have this feeling, but ever since he met her, his heart couldn't help but want to be close to her, to possess her, to make her smile for him. Just like seeing her leaning on him and curled up in his arms at this moment, he felt an indescribable satisfaction.
Luka's love was like a faucet that had been opened, pouring out without any concealment.
"I'll continue searching for Munakata's whereabouts. If you're worried, I'll go directly to Sote."
It is impossible to say that she is not worried at all, but Qiao Susu knows that Zong Fang will not hurt her cub because that is a bargaining chip to threaten her. Instead, Zong Fang will try every means to feed the cub to counter her.
So this is not the most urgent situation at the moment, but rather
"Would you blame me if I got married to someone else?"
Hearing this, Luka was startled, his eyelids drooped, and after a while he said, "Is it Liberi?"
Qiao Suisui nodded, "It's Libery, but it's not Ash, it's Lan Ze."
Luka was in a trance for a moment before his expression froze. He asked again as if to confirm, "Lanze Liberi?"
"Um."
Seeing his chest heaving, Qiao Suisui thought he was very bothered. So, feeling guilty, she lowered her head, crumpling and uncrumpling the corner of his clothes, letting go, crumpling again, and whispered, "For me, who my spouse is is not important. What's more important is my baby's father."
This is the truth.
Only if the cub’s genes are superior can she get the highest score, so the cub’s father is of course very important.
But Luka didn't know this. He felt both sad and depressed after hearing this.
"Lan Ze is not worthy of you."
"I know you will be uncomfortable, but if you don't agree to the emperor's conditions, you will..."
"No, Sui Sui."
Luka held her face. Though he was in the medical bay, news from the outside world had been reported to him by Ans. When he learned Sun had summoned him, he had come despite objections, because he suspected Sun would use him to coerce Sui Sui into becoming a female of the Lebery family, thereby procreating. During the mating ceremony, Sui Sui's appearance and fertility were completely exposed. All the males in the Federation knew she was the only female to give birth to a live child. How could the Emperor not be tempted?
But Lan Ze really can't do it.
"When I said he wasn't good enough for you, I wasn't saying it in anger. It was just that Lanzel Liberi was a defective product in the incubation process."
"What?"
"Although he inherited the superior genes of the Stag Orcs, he is blind and lacks any senses."
"But the emperor said Lan Ze is his most preferred heir. What's going on?"
"The sun didn't lie to you. Lan Ze's gift is foresight. He predicted the fate of Oslan twice. Once was the disaster brought about by the orcs' collective rampage, and once was the outcome of the Battle of the Two Wings."
Precognition?
Qiao Susu's eyes flashed.
"It was also because of his predictions that Oslan became the only member state in the interstellar space that suffered the least losses in the face of these two huge disasters. The Sun valued him and focused on training him, firmly believing that there would be no problems handing Oslan over to him. But I don't care whether Lan Ze can become the new Sun of Oslan in the future. If I have to watch your spouse become a male who can't take care of you and protect you, Sui Sui, I can't do it."
As he spoke, Luka gently kissed the corners of her eyes, the tip of her nose, and finally her lips.
"He can't make you happy like this because he can't feel happy himself."
He kissed her passionately, holding her tongue tightly and not letting go. Qiao Susu's hands were on his chest, afraid of touching his wound, and she didn't dare to push hard.
"Luka, don't."
"I've wanted to kiss you like this for a long time."
He picked her up and carried her to the bed, then gently placed her on the bed.
The man leaned over and pressed down, controlling his strength so as not to crush her but also to lock her tightly in his arms.
"Sui Sui, I want to hug you when you are awake, is that okay?"
She felt her whole body go limp, a hot hand wandering all over her body. She hummed softly, holding his strong arms with both hands.
"Luka, even if we do it this time, we won't be able to have a child."
The man laughed, his handsome eyes and eyebrows shining like stars.
"Not for the children."
He closed his eyes and kissed her passionately.
"All I wanted was you."
Hearing this, Qiao Susu finally stopped refusing.
Luka raised her hands above her head, pressed her small hands with his big hands, and when he was excited, he held them tightly, interlocking their fingers.
