Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Who has been in someone else's head late at night...
Oh my god! Someone can touch his aura!!
Help! They are even pulling him down!!
Joshua just opened his eyes when he suffered this critical blow. He couldn't help but wonder - is he dead?
Then his scalp felt numb, and Joshua's halo seemed to be sweating coldly.
Stop pulling—ahhhh, I feel like my head is going to explode!
Before, when the Crown Clan including Amos saw that Xiao Chuzao was able to take off his halo, they all tried to do it with suspicion.
In the end, I was so exhausted that I felt dizzy.
But they do know that those who can be touched by the little ones have the halo because the little ones have tried hard to create the halo for them.
At this moment, the little guy grabbed a new halo, and because it was almost falling out, he pressed it down with his own weight. Thus, Joshua became the first member of the Crown Clan to have his halo forcibly pulled out.
Amos looked at Joshua's halo and the little hand on Joshua's halo, and he hugged the little guy again.
The hormone secreted by the pine star lizard was apparently something very strange to the little cub, so the little fellow, who was still running a fever, had a slow reaction, and was not very conscious, relied on his instinct and explored curiously.
Cubs of this age are naturally very curious and sometimes even ignore danger.
Amos looked at Joshua, who had just opened his eyes.
Joshua: …
"Oh my god, I must still be dreaming," he murmured, being carried by the soldiers of the Saint Cass Empire, and he felt a little dazed. "Not only did I dream of someone taking away the glory of the Crown Family, I even saw the old-fashioned and boring Majesty Amos..."
Stuffy...boring...
AMOS: ...
He loosened his grip on the cub a little.
Outside the nest, Job was stunned for a moment when he saw Joshua's halo being grasped.
It was during this gap that Anya seized the opportunity and attacked from the side.
Job resisted instinctively.
Anya's calf kicked right onto Job's arm, making a heavy muffled sound. Then Anya used this point as the center, turned half a circle and attacked again. The heavier sound, louder than before, shook the ashes into the air. The two crown clans did not use their mental power, but just relied on their strong physique to make people terrified. Anya found a loophole and forced Job to kneel down to resist with a heavy blow.
Job reacted and looked at Amos' figure not far away. He pursed his lips and gave up resisting.
Amos loosened his grip on the little guy a little, and little Chuzao couldn't help but smell the secretion again. He held Joshua's halo with his little hand again and leaned in to smell it.
Joshua: …
Joshua: ………
"Ah, ah, Your Majesty Amos?!"
He finally realized that everything before his eyes didn't seem to be an illusion.
And someone really held his halo.
Amos didn't smile, he took his little cub back and said, "Take it away."
The soldiers carrying Joshua moved quickly.
Joshua inhaled a large amount of secretion hormones, and his whole body was in a trance state, as if he was drunk and dreaming. It was not that he could not resist, but when he saw Amos, he knew in his heart that it was useless to resist.
Joshua was taken away.
Job was being held down by Anya, and slowly lost his strength. He looked at Amos standing in front of him.
Job did not look up—
"Are you here to find high-level pine star lizard secretion hormones for Joshua?"
Amos said.
"Can you bear Joshua's life?"
Job's hands clenched little by little.
"But what can we do——"
Job's voice was cold and hard, coming out from between his teeth.
"Joshua has been begging me. I am... I am his biological brother. I can..."
At Joshua's repeated request, it would be better to let Joshua witness the end of destruction...it would be better to do this...
Even if they are sorry for this generation of the Crown Clan, they have already sorry for the Saint Cass Empire a long time ago. The Crown Clan will eventually be destroyed, and they will probably only survive for a few dozen more generations at most?
It doesn’t matter——
Job thought - he didn't mind being the bad guy.
"elder brother."
Anya looked up at Amos.
Amos naturally felt that Job's problem was much more serious than Joshua's.
These two brothers are always like this.
Anya is the youngest of this generation of the Crown Family, but Joshua is actually the one who has been pampered and protected all the time. Joshua didn't even learn much combat skills. He liked all kinds of art, and sometimes his thoughts were very imaginative. His fellow brother Job almost completely indulged him.
Amos raised his hand and patted Job on the shoulder.
"Let's go. The Crown Clan won't be as sullen as you are. Not to mention - we have found a new way to fight against fate."
A new way to fight against fate?
Job looked up blankly.
He had a calm face, but tears were silently sliding down his face.
Joshua is still alive at this moment, and it is unclear whether his tears are of regret or relief.
Then Jobe saw the cub held in Amos' arms.
Catnip is very effective for cats.
The secretions of the pine star lizard can make the little crown, who has never been exposed to these things, feel dizzy.
He was already unconscious to begin with, and now he was even more dazed, curled up in Amos's arms like a little toy.
Only the small golden crown halo on his head flickered and swayed, proving that Xiao Chuzao's mental strength was still very active.
Job: “…What is this?”
He had just held Joshua's halo.
"Is it a Little Crown Clan?"
Job confirmed the golden crown halo again and couldn't believe it.
"How is it possible? Whose cub is this? Why is there a little crown family? Is this a special experiment? Maybe his father is Uncle Kaman or--"
The tiny cub curled up in its parent's arms, hugging Amos' neck with its little hands.
He laughed softly twice.
It sounds a bit dull.
"Beep beep... On the mountain over there, there are Grandpa Meilun and Grandpa Kaman dancing the bunny dance—"
What is that? Beep beep… Dad? Amos?
Job: ???
Amos held the little guy in his arms and said, "He has not received any training in this area. He might be a little confused when he was exposed to the secretion hormone all of a sudden. It's okay. He will be fine in a while."
Job: “…Oh.”
...No, which one is the key point?!
He has been strong and frightening since he was young. Where did Amos, who seems like an elder, get such a cub? !
*
Job and Joshua were taken aboard the Ninth Army's starship.
The Ninth Army dealt a heavy blow to the strange beasts surrounding this side in a short period of time, and then quickly returned.
Job and Joshua's situation was not very good, but it was much better than those crown clans who were struggling in the Royal Court of Saint Cass.
It’s just that the emotions of the two were very negative, even worse than those crown clans of the previous generation who welcomed death.
Apart from some reaction towards the Crown Family, they are unusually indifferent to other things.
After several space jumps.
It will take about a day to return to Saint Casti Star.
There was no need for space jump anymore, and the little cub was released from the shielded cabin.
The cub's temperature is almost returning to normal.
The mental energy that seemed to be exceptionally active also seemed to slowly calm down.
He sat on Amos's lap, the small fruit basket tucked into his arms.
He was eating a bite of fruit himself and raised his hand to pass one to Amos.
The fruit is both sour and sweet. When eating the sweet fruit, the little guy squints his eyes and enjoys it, but once he bites the sour fruit, the little wings behind him tremble because of the sourness.
So sour...
Little Chuzao looked at the half-eaten fruit in his hand, blinking his big eyes and swallowing his saliva continuously.
She didn’t really feel like eating, but Zao Zao didn’t want to waste food.
The cub is thinking.
Amos was listening to his subordinates' reports.
"We are about to arrive at Saint Cas Emperor Star. I received news that His Highness Fei Man is also about to arrive at the Emperor Star. His Highness Fei Man met several elders of the Holy Grail Clan by chance, and they returned together."
There are only a few mythical species in the entire galaxy. If you count them with your fingers, you can’t even count them with two hands.
Moreover, half of these mythical immortals are not good at fighting. Most of them live in seclusion, in some inaccessible star fields. There are also very few mythical immortals like the Crown Clan who choose to shelter and create the Saint Cass Empire.
After the interstellar pollution and alien beast crisis, coupled with the behind-the-scenes manipulation by the Anthem organization, several races of the mythical immortal species disappeared completely, and the Holy Grail race was one of them. They have been living in seclusion and have never come into contact with humans. This race is knowledgeable and their mental power can be transformed into the Holy Grail, thus having many abilities.
And when faced with a crisis, they react quickly.
Amos nodded to indicate that he understood.
The soldier in front of him continued to report.
And there was an extra fruit next to Amos' mouth.
Amos ate it subconsciously, then realized that it was a bitten fruit.
Amos frowned silently, feeling the fruit was sour.
But he still chewed it twice and swallowed it.
Then Xiao Chuzao seemed to have opened a door to something extraordinary.
Amos, who had just been able to eat whole fruits, ate several sour fruits that had been bitten.
Even Amos, who doesn't have any particular requirements on taste, can't stand it.
He held the little guy's hand.
It's ok, kid.
The little guy's eyes were still hazy, and the fever-reducing patch had been taken off, but his body temperature was still a little high.
This is not a comfortable temperature for the little cub.
The little guy licked the corner of his mouth, and looked at the person next to him. He seemed embarrassed and hid in Amos' arms.
"Okay, let's deal with this matter here. We will discuss other matters after we return to the royal court."
Amos placed the little guy on the ground and led the cub towards the medical room.
Of course, the little guy's Ghost Bear was right next to him. Although he didn't need to hold it all the time, he still had to watch it. Now that he was leaving, the little cub followed Amos, holding the bear.
Job and Joshua are being watched over there.
Anya was leaning against the wall at the door, and when he saw Amos coming, he straightened up.
"Second brother."
There was silence in the room.
Job is a man of few words.
Joshua seemed to have recovered from the hallucination caused by the hormones secreted by the pine star lizard and said nothing more.
Amos pushed the door open with the little guy.
Job raised his head and glanced over here.
Joshua lay still.
Amos walked up to Joshua and looked down at him.
Stuffy? Boring?
The moment the two members of the Crown Clan looked at each other, some not-so-nice adjectives emerged again.
Joshua: …
"Don't worry about me. I have no desire for this world. Your Majesty, you might as well treat me as dead."
He looked away with a sense of decadence, as if a living person was half dead.
Then I heard a childish voice.
The cub, whose fever was coming down and who had begun to develop some logic, but not much, blinked and asked Amos.
"Bang bang...dead...should we bury him?"
Xiao Chuzao knew that only after returning to dust could he rest in peace.
Amos bowed his head.
Joshua also looked over subconsciously.
The little guy raised his hands high.
"Grandpa Mori gave Zao Zao a shovel."
Refers to the tools given to him to play in the snow.
Amos: "Zao Zao is right. Zao Zao is very smart."
The little cub was encouraged, and his big eyes suddenly lit up.
Joshua: ...There's no need to be so anxious, right? !
Bury it now?!
Joshua couldn't help but glance at the little guy.
He had already communicated with Jobe, not to mention that he had personally experienced the feeling of the little guy pulling his aura.
This is a little crown family, Amos's cub.
This is a truly amazing realization.
The Crown Clan of their generation had never seen a cub, and even Job and Joshua could not hide their curiosity when faced with such a soft little creature.
But in the end, he looked away—just a cub.
Joshua looked at the ceiling.
What's the use?
He couldn't understand - nor appreciate - the obsession of the older generation of Crown Clan with the cubs.
Even at this moment - he found it really terrifying and strange that Amos was always carrying this little guy with him, and his expression and actions showed intimacy and care.
This cub makes His Majesty Amos feel strange.
Joshua's eyes were dead, and when he met Amos's gaze, he finally gave up.
"Your Majesty, you should just lock me and my brother up. It would be even better if I had tranquilizers injected into me all the time. We have all been wrinkled by fate. It doesn't matter what happens. I just want a peaceful sleep now—"
I am too tired, too exhausted, with such a fate, such a sword of Damocles hanging over my head and I don’t know when it will fall.
"I will consider how to place you two."
Amos' voice was steady as he announced this fact to them, just like the tone he used when they defected from the Saint Cass Empire and he didn't ask anyone to chase them anymore.
"But now it's no longer possible for you two to have the final say."
Joshua twitched the corner of his lips: "...How dictatorial and arrogant... Your Majesty."
The atmosphere gradually became gloomy.
But the next second.
"Wrinkled...?"
The soft tone of voice immediately drew the attention of the Crown Clan here.
The little guy held on to the edge of the bed with one hand.
He was too short and was holding the ghost bear, so he couldn't see Joshua clearly on the bed.
So she could only stand on tiptoe and try to turn sideways, revealing her soft and fluffy black hair and half of her face, and her clear big eyes looked at Joshua who was looking at her.
"Grandpa Mori irons the clothes very quickly—"
He is only five years old and is not very clear-headed at the moment.
He grasped the key words vaguely: "Let Grandpa Mori help you iron it, and it will be fine."
Just iron it and it's done——
Joshua looked at the little face and was a little dazed for a moment.
That little face was more like Amos's when he was a child.
But Amos would never smile in such a soft and stupid way.
The smile makes people feel... somewhat subtle, as if those hard emotions are being gently hit a few times with a small hammer.
Joshua didn't quite understand this feeling of being touched by cuteness.
Until Amos carried the little guy away.
He lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling for a long time, and suddenly spoke to Job, who was leaning on the other side without saying a word: "Brother."
Job looked up subconsciously.
He saw that Joshua, who hadn't smiled for a long time, seemed to pull the corners of his lips, which was a bit ridiculous and funny: "Is he going to iron me with an iron? Isn't he too young? How can he think that the 'wrinkles' created by fate can be ironed out with an iron..."
Joshua paused for another long moment.
Then Job heard him say softly, "But it is indeed... a little interesting, brother. In fact, every time I fall asleep, I regret dying. I am very happy when you wake me up. But I never told you, because after waking up, I want to die again..."
Joshua's eyes were empty at the moment. "The world I woke up to was too painful. They were all dead. Mom, Dad... Uncle... Grandmother... The Saint Cass Empire cannot be the reason for me to live... But this time it's so strange, I don't regret it that much just now."
Two of Job's and Joshua's relatives once committed suicide within one day. At that time, Job was still in the army, and Joshua watched them end everything with his own eyes. Since then, Joshua, who had never liked to get involved in the affairs of the Saint Cass Empire, became taciturn and seemed to have lost his ability to laugh.
Job came over and held his brother in his arms to comfort him, as if he was protecting a small flame that was about to go out.
*
One day later.
The starship arrived at the planet Saint Casti.
Job and Joshua were temporarily taken over by the medical center for testing for a few days.
After the little cub fell asleep in Amos's arms.
When I opened my eyes again, the temperature had subsided. Because there was some time difference in the time I came back, it was still dark outside, but Xiao Chuzao had already woken up.
The little guy held the ghost bear in his arms, with his limbs wrapped tightly around it.
Her back was resting in Amos's arms.
Amos held down the quilt with one hand to prevent the little guy from moving around in his arms.
The little cub woke up.
He looked at the ghost bear and thought blankly for a while.
Amos behind him woke up quickly.
When the little guy was picked up, Amos first lowered his head and felt the warmth of the little cub with his forehead.
After making sure it wasn't hot anymore, he glanced at the little guy's aura again.
"Zao Zao? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Xiao Chuzao reacted and shook his head slightly.
“Beep…”
His big round eyes look a little dull.
He held the ghost bear in his arms, and amid Amos's doubtful voice, he whispered, "Zao Zao, was Zao Zao willful before?"
Because of this bear, Xiao Chuzao had several standoffs with his parents.
But even though the little guy no longer had a fever, he was still a five-year-old cub, and he still hugged the ghost bear that had Amos's scent on it tightly.
"Why do you say that?"
Amos raised an eyebrow.
He got up and turned on the bedside lamp.
The orange light softened the outline of this cold and ruthless emperor, making him look somewhat warmer.
Amos squatted beside the bed, looking at the little guy sitting there.
"Because... because... Baba said he would change one for Zao Zao, but Zao Zao ignored Baba..."
Little Chuzao blinked his big eyes.
When the cubs are a little confused, the way they resist their parents is to pretend not to hear.
"If you don't obey, you will be disliked..."
But if we act willfully... Xiao Chuzao thought about the interactions between the angels that he had seen before.
Little angels are just like ordinary babies. At this age, they have active minds, are energetic, and like to act naughty, which gives many parents a headache.
Many times, Xiao Chuzao would hear the little angel who was dragged home being told by his parents: If you continue to be so willful, we will no longer like you.
Xiao Chuzao had never been treated well by the angels. This was his first time being a real cub, so he didn't know how parents and cubs got along normally. Xiao Chuzao had also never seen how the angel parents got along with their cubs after he said this.
He just had an impression subconsciously - to be a good boy.
Parents will like it.
Before, Xiao Chuzao didn’t care so much about this.
But as time went on, I cared more and more about Amos.
Xiao Chuzao began to care about this.
If it weren't for this situation, he might have quietly turned himself into a very obedient child.
Amos realized this at this moment.
He looked at the delicate little face with a bit of baby fat.
He heard the little fellow say softly: "Pa pa... Zao Zao is very well behaved..."
But, it shouldn't be like this.
Amos reached out and hugged the little guy.
"Zao Zao doesn't need to be very obedient..."
Little Chuzao leaned in Amos's arms.
Listen to Amos.
"This is the first time that Dad has raised a child. There are many things he did not do well and many things he was not aware of."
For Amos, these words often remain unspeakable; he cannot say them.
But looking at the child who had just recovered from an illness, the first thing he did was to ask himself whether he was a naughty cub when he was sick.
How to describe this sadness? Amos found that some words were not that difficult to say, and even very natural, because he was sure that this was what he thought.
"What Zao Zao needs to do is not to wrong herself."
Little Chuzao leaned in Amos' arms, which were very wide. He and the ghost bear were held together, and there was still plenty of room.
Xiao Chuzao slowly opened his eyes.
"And baby, always remember this—"
Amos almost sighed.
"Daddy loves you."
"Zao Zao... Zao Zao also loves Baba... Zao Zao likes Baba the most, she likes Baba the most."
The little guy stretched out his hand and slowly hugged Amos - baby, Zaocao likes to be called baby.
At the same time, at the starship base of the royal court of the Saint Cass Empire, a giant starship was slowly landing.
The starship hatch opens.
A tall female figure stood at the front. She looked at Saint Cass who was covered in snow for a long time and said, "Let's go."
"Yes! Your Highness Fei Man!"
Dwight Villa.
The cub woke up. He couldn't fall asleep at this hour.
Amos simply didn't go back to sleep.
He held the little guy in his arms and found the study book that Morrie had found for the little cub.
The little guy has never learned anything. We are currently looking for a teacher for Xiao Chuzao, but there is no suitable candidate yet.
Not only is he a teacher of culture, but also of fighting. Even though Amos is very strong, he really can't teach anyone, especially a five-year-old cub.
At this moment, he was holding the little guy, looking at the little halo swaying in front of his eyes, and helping the little cub to recognize pinyin and tones.
The little cub hadn't realized yet that the dark "thread" had slowly entangled itself around his crown halo again.
He is still very serious.
"Ah-ah? Ah~ah!"
“Uh—Uh?…” It’s not very smooth to pronounce, so let’s use it to learn the phonetic symbols!
The other end of the royal court.
Late at night, leaning against the wall, Hull was as depressed and lonely as ever, sighing for a long time...
sigh……?
A tender little baby voice: "Ah-ah? Ah~ah!"
Hale: ...?
He tilted his head, not quite understanding the reason for all this, but everything quickly disappeared. He quickly lowered his head again, slowly grasping his clothes, and the broken crown on his head continued to wither.
It's no use...
A tender little baby voice: "Ah-ah? Ah~ah!"
Hale: ...
Little baby voice: "Ah-ah? Ah~ah!"
That little voice became smoother and more confident, but in other people's minds... it kept ringing.
Hull:￥%#……
Who is it? Who is it?! What are you doing?!
Not to mention how it was done!
Who is it that keeps saying "ah" in someone's head in the middle of the night?! Can you have some sense of boundaries?! Huh?? ! !
