Space-time SWAT

It was early autumn at this time, and the wind was very cool, blowing from the ice field in the south, biting the white robes of Lana and the retainers and warriors behind him.

So Fei smiled happily beside Lana, and urged softly: "Master Difer, please. You see, His Majesty the Emperor and Lord Saint Master have come to welcome you. What a supreme courtesy."

Lana didn't hesitate anymore, and walked down the gangway steadily, towards the high car of the emperor and the saint.The long white robe that reached the ground fluttered around his body like a white cloud.There were faint voices of admiration and admiration from the crowd of civilians far away.

Temitrada watched gloomyly as the small group of men in white approached slowly, as if his eyes were stung by the color that was completely opposite to Bolivar's black clothes.He narrowed his eyes slightly and sat still.

Shatton Jeter looked at Lana curiously, his eyes kept falling on his veil, as if guessing what kind of face was behind the white veil.

Lana stopped when he reached the distance required by court etiquette.

The tens of thousands of onlookers were silent.

Back then, Rana was expelled from Bolivar because he refused to bow his knees and swear allegiance to the emperor.Now, everyone is watching, what will this rich and powerful No. [-] Bolivar nobleman do, and whether it is true that the head of the Defer family has succumbed to the propaganda of the empire.

Rana raised his head, glanced at Shatton Jeter and Temithrada on the high car, and calmly knelt down on one knee.

Immediately, there was exclamation and noise from the civilian crowd.

The other men in white also knelt down behind Lana, put their left hands on their right shoulders in neat movements, and bowed their heads respectfully.

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Tmitrada's mouth.

Lana pulled off the veil, revealed her face, and said clearly: "Your Majesty, Lana Difer is willing to return to the embrace of the empire as your subject, please accept me." He avoided the word "loyalty" Words, because I can't do it, so I don't want to deceive the world, the people and my own heart.

Shatton Jeter stretched out his hands and raised them slightly, "Master Difer, now that you have lost your way, the Empire welcomes you." Although this voice was immature, it was full of the majesty of imperial power.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Rana bowed his head and stroked his chest, and said respectfully to Temithrada, "Supreme Master, you are the messenger of Isma, we are lost children, please accept us."

Temitrada nodded in satisfaction and stood up.

In an instant, everyone except the emperor fell to the ground.

Tmitrada raised his hands high, raised his head to the sky, and said in a drawn-out tone: "Ismamu, our Heavenly Mother, your lost child has returned—" The PA system on the high car will His voice spread far away, accompanied by the faint sound of the wind, echoing over the city.

Tens of thousands of people chanted, "Ismamu, the eternal Heavenly Mother. Ismamu, my Heavenly Mother."

The entire airport is shrouded in fanatical religious atmosphere.

Lana was still kneeling, bowing his head, showing the sincerity of surrender to the fullest.Everyone no longer doubted his submission to the emperor and the holy master.

Tmitrada bowed his head to Shatton Jeter.The young emperor got up slowly, stepped off the high car steadily, leaned over to help Lana up, and said with a smile: "Lord Difer, I have already held a banquet in the palace to clean up the dust for you."

Lana still bowed his head respectfully, and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor."

"Come on." Shatton held Lana's hand tightly, and walked out side by side with him.

They boarded a gorgeous land speeder outside the airport and drove slowly towards the palace.

From the airport to the palace, both sides of the wide road were crowded with people. They all wanted to see the real face of the emperor, but what they wanted to see more was Lana Difer, who was regarded as an idol by many Bolivar civilians.

Rana's tall and burly figure does not conform to the traditional aesthetics of the Bolivars, but his status and wealth have made countless young women admire him.Most of the men also admired him very much and said in admiration: "To be a man is to be like this."

The frenzied atmosphere continued all the way to the palace.

In the center of the city, there is a huge continuous stone palace, which is inlaid with all kinds of precious metals and dazzling gemstones. Even in the daytime, gorgeous crystal lamps are shining everywhere in the palace, making this huge palace The palace looked resplendent and resplendent.

Lan Qi, who was sitting in the speeding car behind, looked at it and couldn't help sighing, "Isn't it said that Bolivar's energy is lacking, so people cherish it? Such a waste of money is really unbelievable."

Lan Wanghai next to him smiled faintly, "It's only natural that the world will serve one person."

Qi Mingyi looked up at the driver.

When they spoke, they all used the rare northern dialect of Assaias, which was a small language that only the Difer family could understand.The driver driving in front didn't say anything, and turned a deaf ear to their words.

Even so, Qi Mingyi raised his hand and made a silent gesture.The people in the car stopped talking, and all quietly watched the city scene outside the car window.

When the guards of honor lined up on both sides of the palace gate saw the emperor's convoy arriving, they immediately stood at attention, raised their guns, and played drums and music together.

Amid the deafening cheers of the people, the convoy drove into the gate of the palace.

The banquet hall is in the southwest corner of the palace, and its scale is very spectacular.

Lana was held by the young emperor and walked in the front.He kept trying to break free from Shatton Kit's hand, but the emperor held him tightly, as if he would not let go, the force of holding him even made him feel pain.Lana glanced at him quickly, and saw that he looked calm, so he remained calm and could only let him hold it.

Soon, Lana was pulled all the way to the chief seat by the little emperor, let him sit on his left, and then he sat in the master seat.The supreme saint in the empire, Temithrada, sat down at the emperor's right hand, glanced at the emperor and Lana with his dark eyes, but said nothing.

Lana's retainers and generals were arranged in a corner, sitting at a table with a group of noble guards.

After the soldiers headed by Qi Mingyi sat down, they pulled off the white scarves covering their faces and wrapped them loosely around their necks.Their body language showed a sense of leisure, lightly leaning on the back of the chair, with polite and courteous faces, but their eyes were always paying attention to the movement of the main table where Lana was and other tables.

On the vice-host of the main table, sat a chunky old man who also wore a black and gold inlaid silver dress.His beard and hair were like silver, and his round face was like lightning, staring at Lana coldly.Everyone knows that he is Ibe Aisha, the powerful prime minister in the empire.

The Aisha family is another noble family second only to the Differ family.This family has always been the largest business group in the imperial capital, monopolizing the entire Bolivar business and interstellar voyage transportation industry.Because of this, the expansion of their business has always been subject to the Defer family's control of energy.Therefore, the two families have always been at odds, and the relationship is very stiff.

According to legend, the financial support behind the terrorist organization "Yasasin" controlled by Tmitrada comes from the Aisha family.Ibe Aisha not only has a flexible business mind, but also has a cunning political means, a keen sense of smell, and an excellent ability to govern the country.Under his rule, the Bolivar Empire began to recover economically in just one year.The expedition to Blue Star severely damaged Bolivar's vitality, but Iber turned the tide and prevented Bolivar's economy from deteriorating further, and began to rise steadily.Because of this, Temithrada trusted him a lot, and the emperor Satton Kit also obeyed him.

However, he seemed very uncomfortable with Lana Difer's "surrender". He had a bad attitude from beginning to end, neither welcoming nor trusting him. He was always so cold, which made people feel puzzled.

Under his icy cold gaze, Lana kept smiling calmly, occasionally answering the emperor's questions politely, or chatting with the important imperial officials at the same table.In the eyes of others, the attitudes of the two are quite distinct.

Soon, everyone sat down according to their status.The emperor glanced at the holy master, saw him nodding, stood up, and said loudly: "Today is the day when Lord Lana Difer returned to the embrace of the empire. On behalf of the entire empire, I welcome him and the Difer family. The return of . Today is also a moment of lightness and joy, and everyone drinks this cup together. May Bolivar prosper and prosper!"

Everyone stood up, raised the tall crystal cups in front of them, and praised in unison, "The empire is prosperous! Long live the emperor! The holy master lives forever!"

Shatton Jeter drank the red wine in the glass with a smile, and everyone drank their glasses, and then sat down with the emperor.

Even if the simple welcome ceremony is over, the waiters carrying the dishes come up in an endless stream, delivering all kinds of delicacies to the large round table.The atmosphere quickly became lively, and everyone was chatting and laughing happily.

Except for the discussion about the Difer family, most of the topics revolved around the emperor's wedding.

Lana smiled and greeted the people at the same table, and did not take the initiative to ask questions, but people still mentioned many things about the big wedding.

Unlike the information Lana received at the beginning, although his granddaughter will be married by the emperor as a queen, she is not the only official wife of the emperor.

Originally, according to the law of the former Bolivar Federation, it was monogamous, and same-sex marriages were allowed. Still, only two people could get married, and it was not allowed for more than three people to form husband and wife, husband and wife relationships.Until Tianmu religion became popular, the teaching stipulated that men are superior to women and men can marry three regular wives, enjoying the same rights, but in some etiquette and the power to manage family affairs, priority should be given according to ranking.But in the federal era, this kind of teaching was illegal. Naturally, only congregations in remote areas would practice this kind of marriage system, and they must be rich or powerful nobles in the family, otherwise they would not be able to support a three-bedroom wife.After the establishment of the imperial system, this system has been written into the Marriage Law. Men can legally marry three regular wives, regardless of gender, as long as the form is monogamy and three wives, it is legal.

The same is true of the emperor's wedding today.Lana's granddaughter is only the second queen, and a cousin with the emperor's childhood sweetheart is the third queen, and the first queen is not the noble daughter of Bolivar, but from the Thaddeus Star Alliance not too far away.

This is a political marriage.

The Thaddeus Star Alliance is a political system that is trying to transform into an imperial system.The current chairman of the alliance, Div Rosalina, is a strong woman with an unselfish governance style, great ambition and the madness brought about by ambition.

She married her only daughter Rona Rosalina to Bolivar to be the first queen. She wanted to use Bolivar's military power and Temitrada's terrorist organization to realize her ideal of ascension to the throne.
