Filial piety: the supreme emperor

Although the Count is much younger than Don Quixote in appearance, he has not only the traces of age, but also the profound experience of cosmic adventure. He has long seen through Don Quixote's true identity.

In order to avoid possible interstellar conflicts, he complied with Don Quixote's words, acknowledged the qualities of this outstanding interstellar knight from a distant planet, and revealed that he was once a galactic patrol knight.

"Your achievements are amazing. Being able to become the ruler of a planet at such a young age is undoubtedly a testament to your extraordinary ability and strategic vision. I believe that when you return to your home planet, both the old lords of the past,

Or will every living thing on the planet look at you with admiration, just as I have read in ancient interstellar legends. "

Don Quixote's words are full of sincere admiration. He longs to live that kind of life and even boasts about his romantic encounter with the virtual reality Princess Dulcinea in front of the smart ball - all this is of course his fantasy.

"Indeed, they all looked at me with new eyes... I had secretly vowed to make them do the same, but during that difficult interstellar exile, I never thought I could fulfill this oath."

As the count spoke, a strange smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light. Mu Yi understood that the difficult years he was talking about were the days when he was trapped in the alien prison, the Chateau d'If. Although Don Quixote was a bit annoying, he had a charm that made others confide their past, and even the count in front of him was no exception.

However, the Count quickly pulled himself out of his memories and regained his calm attitude, but at this moment, his attention to Don Quixote increased significantly. He looked directly at Don Quixote and said seriously, "Your Excellency, Interstellar Lord, you are wrong. True interstellar knights do not think that their adventuring life is hard. If you feel it is hard, it must be mixed with other factors."

Don Quixote's answer stems from his obsession with the legend of interstellar knights, which makes the count, who does not know the truth, slightly stunned. He begins to doubt whether the seemingly crazy old man in front of him is really mentally ill, or just a naive person who is obsessed with the legend of knights.

"Why do you have such an idea? Do you want to be my mentor in my life journey?"

This old man reminded him of Father Faria, the only person he regarded as a mentor in life.

"It's all those Star Knight legends that made me think so! What you should do... is revenge!"

Don Quixote's mind was full of the scenes described in the book at this moment. He tried to show his wit and wisdom in the conversation with the lord. The word revenge made the count's eyes suddenly focused. He stared at Don Quixote's face with an unprecedented scrutiny, "Why revenge?"

Of course, the Count was destined to be unable to see through Don Quixote's true intentions, and Don Quixote mistakenly believed that the lord attached great importance to him. His thoughts drifted to how to politely reject the lord's proposal to make him the captain of the planet's defense captain and to marry his daughter to him.

Everyone knows that the only person in his heart is Princess Dulcinea.

"I have no intention of blaming you for your pale skin and silver hair. This may be normal for nobles living in castles, but it does not fit the image of a knight who has experienced the baptism of interstellar wars. Your current appearance reminds me of the betrayal you suffered after returning to your home planet, and how you were imprisoned in a dungeon for a long time, and thus harbored a grudge against the entire planet."

"Ha ha!"

The count laughed mockingly and turned to look at Mu Yi, who was smiling. Regardless of whether Don Quixote was pretending to be crazy or foolish, the count did not intend to continue to tangle with him.

"You guessed wrong. I am a bit eccentric. What I just said about my knighthood was pure deception. I am deeply sorry for that. As compensation, I will hold an awarding ceremony for you at the Micro Wormhole Teleportation Station tomorrow. Now, please follow my servant there to keep watch. He will lead the way for you."

As the count finished his words, the holographic projection curtain beside him was lifted, and a robot servant in a white uniform appeared at the door and made an inviting gesture.

"Humph! I knew that you nobles all like to play this kind of trick. You are really the most unfortunate person in the world. You should have the honor of having the brave and famous interstellar knight Don Quixote bow down before you, but now you have lost this opportunity!"

Don Quixote once again imitated the plot in the book, pretending to be indignant, but in the end he followed the description in the book and left with the robot servant - the knights in the book would also do this after being angry, but unlike Don Quixote, they were angry in their hearts.

"Okay, that annoying guy is gone, now we can talk about things that only the two of us know."

After Don Quixote left, the Count's voice suddenly rose, successfully attracting Mu Yi's attention. He could have taken advantage of Don Quixote's departure, but since Mu Yi was not his target of revenge and this method was too despicable, as an avenger, he did not consider taking this approach.

"What was our previous topic? But from the beginning you didn't intend to solve the problem through ordinary conversation."

Mu Yi raised his eyebrows. After so many interstellar battles, he naturally would not be distracted at this critical moment. He just deliberately exposed his flaws, and now that the other party has clearly reminded him, he does not need to pretend anymore.

"Why bother to resolve it through dialogue? Unlike that person just now, you should know who I am, so I don't need to repeat my grievances to you, right?"

As the Earl spoke, several beams of blue energy flames emerged from his hands. However, when he instantly appeared behind Mu Yi, he found that the flames only burned Mu Yi's shadow, and the real Mu Yi was already behind him.

“I have a different opinion on this point. But I think your teleportation ability still cannot break through my [King Crimson]’s defense in a one-on-one battle, so let’s put our feud aside for later!”

In fact, during the conversation between the Count and Don Quixote, Mu Yi had quietly activated his Stand ability [King Crimson] and had long foreseen the Count's attack. Now, the fatal blow he launched at the Count's neck was the result of careful planning.
