Memories rolled bigger and bigger like snowballs, hitting Ludwig's heart heavily, making him unable to breathe, and even more so that he had nowhere to escape.

Ludwig subconsciously believed that he was dead, but he never knew that after death, he would be so painful, going through all the good and bad experiences of his past and present life again.Watching the good memories shattered again, and being crushed by the bad memories without any resistance, upside down, so repeated, endless.Ludwig felt as if he was being choked by a nightmare, but this demon didn't give you a fatal blow in the chest, but just strangled your neck and hung you in the air, making you feel the despair that made it harder to breathe , Feeling the slow passing of one's own life - this feeling is more uncomfortable than a one-shot death, and it is enough to wear down a person's last desire to survive.

Memories are churning like lava, hot and menacing.

The second battle between the interstellar thieves and the alliance was one that Ludwig would never forget.In that battle, Ludwig lost Luther, the sustenance of his heart, and all his vision for the future.Because in Ludwig's blueprint for the future, Luther is everything to him.

Witnessing the detonation of Luther's battle mech once again, Ludwig heard the voice of "myself" crying heart-piercingly, and once again he experienced the suffocation and dull pain that his heart almost stopped beating.Obviously he doesn't feel the reality now, he just relives the memories in his dream, but the memories are transmitted to his heart along with the feelings at that time.

Why does it hurt so much?

Ludwig twisted and pressed his chest, if this was a dream, who could wake him up.

***

***

Ludwig's eyelids moved slightly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, but his eyelids were still heavy, as if the mere act of opening his eyes had exhausted all his strength.Ludwig is like a butterfly reborn from a cocoon, trying his best to break through the thick cocoon and open his eyes to see the world again.

"Bam—"

It seemed that the explosion of Luther's battle mech shattered to pieces sounded next to his ears, making Ludwig open his eyes suddenly like a frightened bird.

Ludwig's eyes lost focus, and he opened his eyes in a daze. There was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of his eyes, his eyes could not see the end, and there was only dead silence in his ears.Ludwig suddenly felt cold on his cheeks, and it took him a long time for his dull brain to react. He seemed to be crying.Tears flowed down without any warning, along the cheeks, and slid into the hair.Ludwig didn't understand why he was crying, but just let the tears flow uncontrollably.

He just wanted to cry happily, but forgot the original intention of crying.

The chaotic memory fragments were like sharp knives, fighting and colliding in Ludwig's mind until Ludwig's auditory system was awakened by a low and gentle voice——

"Don't cry, just wake up."

Ludwig's stunned eyes gradually regained their brilliance, and the focus gradually came into view.

A pair of warm hands held his cold cheeks, helping him wipe away the tears on his face, and then one after another soft and affectionate kisses kept falling on his forehead.That person's voice, that person's touch, that person's kiss, are the best medicine to heal Ludwig's wounds.

Aristine's handsome face came into Ludwig's eyes. Ludwig wanted to raise his hand to grab Aristine, but found that his consciousness could not control his body.He tried his best, but he could only move his fingers. Raising his arms was just wishful thinking.

Ludwig couldn't do anything but cry.

Aristine gently held his palm, rubbed his forehead, and comforted him: "Don't worry, you're still recovering, just wake up, and you'll be fine soon."

Ludwig stared closely at Aristine, he tried hard to move the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound.This feeling was the same as in the dream, making Ludwig feel fear and despair.

Aristine noticed the fear in Ludwig's eyes, and her heart throbbed, but on the surface she pretended to be calm and made a harmless joke: "Do you remember who you are? Do you... remember me?"

Ludwig couldn't speak, and couldn't stretch out his hand. He could only look at Aristine helplessly, until his eyes hurt and he shed a few more tears.

Aristine stroked Ludwig's cheek, wiped away tears, and said softly, "I believe you will remember, don't cry."

Aristine took Ludwig's right hand, which was neatly placed by his side, gently held his palm, and brought the back of the hand close to his lips.Aristine gave Ludwig all his patience all his life, he kept kissing the back of Ludwig's hand, wishing he could hold this hand and never let go.After Aristine calmed Ludwig's emotions, he began to speak: "You have been lying on this bed for 21 days. I never believe in miracles, but during the time you were in a coma, every day I All praying for a miracle until you just woke up.

"Do you know that 21 days ago, when I heard the news of your escape at the engagement ceremony, my first reaction was not to be angry with you, but to worry about your safety. I know that many people in the Star Alliance treat you They are watching, and your escaping marriage is giving them a valid reason to arrest you. You were chased by the Senate. I don’t know if this is a lucky thing? Because the Senate arrested you, you will not be on the spot Killing can also buy me time. When I arrived, you were already paralyzed, lying on the operating table, completely unconscious, and dozens of large and small infusion tubes were tied to your body, you know I don’t know how scary your appearance is? The Senate treated you as a living experiment, and even wanted to extract the memories carried by your original body, because this is very important for their further research on you.”

Aristine smiled helplessly, and sighed, "I now completely believe that you have the memory of your previous life. The Senate never thought that the reason for my miscalculation is that it appeared here."

Ludwig still just looked at Aristine with his eyes open, using his eyes to trace the outline of Aristine's handsome face, and quietly listened to his deep and magnetic voice.

Aristine rubbed his hair, and then said: "The people of the Senate can accurately deduce your personal information, which planet you come from, your actual age, etc. through the number on your wrist. They have never Error, so they have full confidence to confirm that your memory is definitely not more than 20 years old, so they made a mistake in the process of extracting your memory-the capacity of the carrier to carry the memory is insufficient, resulting in half of the experiment being forced to shout stop."

Aristine exhaled and said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "You see, you are really lucky, so you will definitely get better."

There was a faint smile in Ludwig's eyes, but he was too tired, and just listening to Aristine's words had consumed a lot of his energy.

Ludwig gently closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

Aristine gently rubbed the center of Ludwig's brow, and the data showing Ludwig's life signs on the display was on a normal track, and now Aristine was finally able to relax.

"Your Highness."

At this time, the left and right lieutenants Laiya and Luber walked in together with Andre and Wag. They greeted politely before entering the door, but Aristine made a "shh" action was stopped.

Aristine leaned over and kissed Ludwig on the forehead, then stood up and faced Luber and the four of them.

"He's awake." Aristine's voice was very soft, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah?" Andre poked his head to look at Ludwig in surprise, Wagga and Leia also showed joy, only Luber's face was slightly embarrassed.

"But his body is still very weak now, and he fell asleep again after waking up for a while."

Varger asked, "Has Ludwig's memory been damaged?"

Aristine shook her head, "I don't know, he can't move his whole body, and he can't speak."

Everyone present fell silent.

Aristine slightly raised the corner of her mouth, as if to comfort Andre and Vargo, but it was more like murmuring to comfort himself, "Just wake up."

Andre nodded.

However, Lu Bo raised his head hesitantly, and asked, "Then...Your Highness, should we continue the experiment now?"

The others followed Luber and looked at Aristine, waiting for His Highness to make the final decision.

Aristine rubbed the center of his brows, closed his eyes, and the circles of his eyes were blue-gray, obviously he didn't have a good rest these days.

Of course Laiya and Luber knew that His Royal Highness had always had a deep affection for Ludwig, but Andre and Wager still found it unbelievable, just like when they rescued Ludwig 21 days ago, Aristine would pass by the road. At that time, Andre was in shock. Originally, Andre only hoped that Luya could join their queue and increase his confidence in winning to rescue Ludwig. Unexpectedly, he finally Actually looking forward to Aristine, the perfect His Royal Highness of the Alliance, to join their rescue team.

"Luya" also clearly stated to Andre through audio at that time that he personally entrusted Ludwig to Aristine, dispelling Andre's concerns.

Apart from being shocked by this, Andre had no intention of understanding the drama of emotional disputes between Ludwig, Lure and Aristine. Ting is equally devoted to this, and that is enough.

For other things, wait until Ludwig wakes up to worry about it.

After a long silence, Aristine opened his eyes and gave Luber a formal reply: "The experiment continues."

Aristine's eyes were like bottomless pools, and his tone was as firm as ever, although his heart at this time was not as calm as it was every time he made a decision in the Star Alliance.

Wag frowned, and Andre took Wag's hand, turned to Wag and said, "Listen to Your Highness."

Wag pursed his lips, and finally nodded slightly.

……

Since the first day Ludwig woke up, he would wake up every day after that, and Ludwig woke up every day, always seeing Aristine guarding his bed, as if Aristine Every minute and every second never left him.In fact, Aristine did not leave, and he took care of all the tedious affairs of Ludwig himself.

As Ludwig wakes up longer and longer every day, he can already transfer to Aristine's bedroom. The first thing he sees when he wakes up is still Aristine, but what he hears is The voice of the super-intelligent system robot greeting him: "Dear master, good day, the current time is 10:37 in the morning, and 23 hours, 42 minutes and 17 seconds have passed since you woke up yesterday."

Aristine's desk has been moved to the bedroom, he got up and sat on the bed, gently brushed away the broken hair in front of Ludwig, smiled and said: "You woke up an hour earlier than yesterday, and you slept well ?"

The corners of Ludwig's lips curled up slightly, and he was able to say simple words, "Okay."

Although Ludwig's voice was a little hoarse, Aristine felt that it was more beautiful than any beautiful voice.

"Are you hungry?"

"No... hungry."

Ludwig spoke very slowly, seemingly with a slow and calm manner, but in fact this was contrary to his nature.

Aristine stroked Ludwig's cheek, "Shall I help you up for rehabilitation now?"

Ludwig let out a "hmm".

The so-called rehabilitation training, for Ludwig, is nothing more than sitting up.However, it was such a simple behavior that he could only sit up with the assistance of Aristine.

Aristine helped him tuck the quilt to cover his legs, and when he looked up, he saw Ludwig twitching the corners of his mouth and laughing at himself.

Ludwig, who used to be all-powerful on the field, now doesn't even have the strength to sit up...

Fearing that Ludwig would think too much, Aristine sat on the edge of the bed with Ludwig, held his hand and kneaded it gently to divert his attention, lowered his head and said softly: "Now you can't run away even if you want to. gone."

Ludwig's fingers were wrapped in Aristine's palm, and when he heard Aristine's words, his fingers trembled slightly.

Aristine looked up at him, staring at Ludwig's pale and thin face with deep and charming eyes, sighed, and said, "Vichy, I have always wanted to ask you, why did you run away from marriage? Is it because you hate me?"

"No...no...disgusting." Ludwig was anxious, but he still answered in a slow tone.

"So you still can't accept the fact that I'm Lure?"

"no……"

Aristine leaned over and kissed the corner of Ludwig's mouth, put his hands on his cheeks, and pressed his forehead against each other, "Do you know that the reason why I dare not touch you when we share the bed every night is because I'm worried You can't accept my true identity for a while."

"Um……"

Aristine put his arms around Ludwig, let him lean on his shoulders, gently pressed his back, and massaged his acupuncture points.

Ludwig's chin rested on Aristine's shoulder, and his beautiful peach eyes were slightly sunken, looking a little listless.He closed his eyes lightly, and his light-colored thin lips moved.

"Ari... Sting..."

"Ah."

"I...don't...hate...you."

"Ah."

"Even... Even if I run away from marriage... I will... come back... to find you."

The hands massaging Ludwig's back couldn't help but stop.

"I... love freedom... and... love you."

Ludwig was struggling to speak, every word was a word, he spoke slowly and laboriously, and he breathed harder every time he said a word, but he still didn't stop.

This experience seemed to make Ludwig die again. Ludwig always thought that he would live a smarter life in this life after having the experience of the previous life.However, he had to admit that he was selfish and stupid.He loves freedom, and he also loves Aristine, but he shouldn't be greedy to grab both sides of the scale.

Ludwig is vain, greedy, and stupid.

He hid Aristine, deceived Luber, and won the conditions for himself to escape from marriage; escaped from the capital, thinking that the Senate could not do anything to him, but was finally cornered.Ludwig’s position in this life is completely opposite to that of his previous life. In this life, he got a marriage proposal from “Luya”, but he was worried about losing his freedom; in his last life, he had freedom, but thought he was betrayed by “Luther” And it hurts so much.Both Ludwigs could not escape the siege of the Senate. In the last life, Ludwig chose to explode his mecha from the standpoint of protecting freedom. In this life, he was looking forward to seeing "Luya" again, so Ludwig Xi chose to surrender to save his life.

Running away from marriage, Ludwig was only confident because of Aristine's love for him.

Ludwig originally thought that getting engaged meant tying himself to Aristine's side, but running away from marriage could come back to Aristine at any time—because there was no possibility that Aristine would miss him.

People are often so cheap, confident, and psychologically troubled.And only when under coercion, will I passively choose the most authentic thing that my heart desires.

……

Aristine gently supported Ludwig on the soft cushion, put his hands on Ludwig's sides, leaned forward, and kept a distance of [-] to [-] centimeters from Ludwig.

Ludwig opened his eyes, only to see Aristine's thumb stroking his lips, not letting him speak any more.

Aristine: "Shh, you've talked a lot today, and we've got other rehab activities to do."

Of course Ludwig would not reject Aristine.

Aristine's tenderness can only be seen by Ludwig, and only Ludwig's figure is in his dark and bright eyes, he said: "Listen, I will sit here in this posture, you have to try to lean your upper body forward , you have to kiss me every time to be considered qualified. Do you understand?"

The corners of Ludwig's mouth curled up, and even his sunken eyes were smiling, very satisfied with this rehabilitation training.

Aristine also smiled, "Start?"

Ludwig didn't answer, but his stiff hands were already propped on the bed. He leaned forward slowly and slowly, carefully shortening the distance between him and Aristine... Ludwig's left hand suddenly softened, The body fell obliquely forward, and Aristine also leaned forward accurately, her soft lips pressed against Ludwig's thin lips, and supported Ludwig with her strength.

The two lips touched, but Ludwig couldn't help but upturned the corners of his mouth, and laughed muffled.

Aristine licked Ludwig's thin lips wet, then helped him sit up again, smiled and said: "It's unqualified like just now, I'm just giving you a wrong example, I won't take the initiative to kiss You, you have to work hard."

Ludwig felt itchy in his heart, wishing he could pull Aristine closer and bite her hard, but unfortunately he couldn't do what he wanted, so he had to try his best to get closer to Aristine again, trying to kiss that delicate and seductive lips.

Ludwig also had a goal in mind: when he kissed him, he had to bite hard.

……

A week later.

With Aristine's support, Ludwig can already get out of bed and walk around, and he can also take nutritional supplements every day, so he no longer needs to rely on infusion of nutritional solutions to live.

Andre and Varger even got permission from Aristine to enter the Star Alliance headquarters to visit Ludwig.The scope of Ludwig's activities was beyond Aristine's bedroom and outer hall. When Andre and Wager came to visit, Ludwig and Aristine were drinking afternoon tea in the Star Alliance garden.

Surrounded by thousands of colorful flowers, Ludwig looked very good. During the recovery period, he was cared for by Aristine, and his thin face was rounded.At this time, he was lying on his back on a comfortable recliner, basking in the soft and warm sunlight comfortably.

The fragrant Hundred Gardens is located inside the headquarters. It is incompatible with the style of the solid Star Alliance headquarters, but there is no sense of disobedience. On the contrary, everyone who has just walked out of the room can't help but want to loosen their ties. It seems that this is a leisure paradise, allowing them to take a break from the tense and depressing life.

"Hey, you guys are here, what are you up to now? Have you unified the Thieves Alliance?"

Ludwig was clearly delighted to see his friends, and did not notice the fleeting look on Aristine's face.

Andre glanced at Aristine subconsciously, then turned his gaze away, and answered Ludwig's question: "How is your recovery? The Thieves Alliance is waiting for you to unify."

Ludwig raised his hand and shook it, sighing heavily: "It's much better, but the hand speed of my battle mech now, hey, even Victor can't do it."

Aristine took Ludwig's hand, rubbed it on the back of his hand, and said softly, "Well, so you can't run now."

Ludwig didn't take out his hand, but let Aristine hold it. He squinted his eyes and smiled, "It's not like I broke my head, why did I run away, I'm relying on you now."

Aristine: "Okay, it doesn't matter if you can't beat Victor, I will help you."

Ludwig: "Okay!"

"..."

Andre and Wager looked at Aristine and Ludwig flirting in front of them, not to mention that they were not used to sitting at the same table with Aristine, His Royal Highness of the Star Alliance, for afternoon tea , let alone accept the fact that His Royal Highness Aristine and Ludwig are in love... and they are so affectionate.

Ludwig poured two cups of coffee for Andre and the others, "Add sugar?"

Andre and Wager shook their heads in unison. They needed a cup of bitter coffee at this time to dilute the sweet taste of love that filled the sky.

"correct."

Ludwig held his chin and turned to ask Aristine: "I still want to ask, where are Luber and Leia? I haven't seen them for a long time." Especially Luber, who was molested by Ludwig After that, there must be no small shadow left.

Aristine held the coffee and took a sip gracefully, "I sent them out on a mission, and they won't be at the headquarters in the short term."

Ludwig: "Did you let them deal with the affairs of the Senate?"

Mentioning the word "Senate", Andre and Wag couldn't help but raise their heads.

Aristine: "Yeah."

At this time, Wag, who was sitting aside, raised his eyes and interrupted the conversation between the two coldly: "Your Highness Aristine, we have something to confess to Ludwig when we came here today."

Aristine cast her eyes on Wag, which made people feel coercive invisibly.

Ludwig followed suit and asked curiously, "Confess to me? Ha, what's the matter?"

Wager resisted the pressure exerted by Aristine, and said: "Your Highness Aristine, this is an agreement between us. When Ludwig recovers, we have the responsibility to let Ludwig know about it. Lu Derwig has a right to know, too."

Ludwig looked at Wager, then turned his head to look at Aristine, his curiosity tickled his heart, he raised his elbow and bumped Aristine's arm, "Hey, what's the matter?"

Aristine looked at Ludwig's curious face, pursing her thin lips lightly.

Wag said: "Ludwig, you have been recovering these days, haven't you asked His Highness about the Senate?"

Ludwig frowned slightly, and looked at Wager: "Yes, of course I asked! Then Aristine said that he executed all the members of the Senate... Hey, Aristine, should I Do you want to say that the Senate is still alive now, you didn't do anything, did you?" Ludwig turned to Aristine.

Aristine's eyes were bottomless, and she looked at Ludwig seriously: "I didn't lie to you, everyone who was unfavorable to you that day was thrown into outer space by me, and if some of them are lucky, they will probably be able to Travel through time and space wormholes and survive."

Ludwig opened his mouth, "...Actually, I want to say, even if you let the Senate go, I will understand you." I can understand but don't forgive, the worst is to avenge myself.

Aristine sighed, "Wage is right, you have the right to know the truth. The parties in the Senate are actually very complicated, some of them are radical parties, planning to overthrow the coalition regime, but some of them pledge their allegiance to the death to me."

Ludwig: "And then?"

Aristine: "This matter starts from the beginning of the establishment of the Senate. The Senate was originally an institution where the royal family assembled all the scientific research experts in the entire planet to study human cloning. The first royal family wanted to keep their best genes. , using his genes to cultivate the strongest clone army in the interstellar world, but he immediately realized a serious problem. If everyone in this army is as strong as him, he will lose his strength and crush Therefore, the first royal family adjusted the plan. He only provided a small part of his genes, and handed them over to the Senate to cultivate an injection called 'Stanker', and divided several poor planets as experimental areas. The planet looks for newborns as experimental targets."

Ludwig stretched out his right wrist, rolled up his sleeves, revealing the number he had processed, and said, "It seems I'm not wrong, this is really a mark like a farm."

Aristine held Ludwig's wrist, her slender fingers blocked Ludwig's number.

Andre also held Wag's hand tightly.

Aristine: "'Stanker' can hook up with reformers. The ultimate goal of the Senate is to create a group of geniuses who are 'naturally' equipped with advanced technologies such as operating combat mechs. However, the early experiments did not go well, and the It is said that there are not many surviving targets, and even if they survive, there are very few targets that achieve the desired desired effect... These are the tasks of the Senate, looking for new targets, determining the survival rate of the targets and comparing multiple injections And this kind of work has continued until now. Obviously, the plan of the Senate has been realized. As an experimental individual, Vichy, you are excellent, and Wag is also excellent. However, the "Stanker" project does not benefit individuals, but cultivates Produce an excellent individual, and then use this individual to achieve the ultimate goal of the clone army."

Ludwig and Wager, who were praised by His Royal Highness Aristine, were not happy.Although the talent is valuable and has brought a lot of benefits to Ludwig and the others, in the final analysis they are not the beneficiaries of the experiment, they are just tools to be manipulated in the palm of their hands, and they will eventually become victims.

"The numbers have alphabetic symbols, which represent the target of the second injection, that is, the target that is more precious than the survivors of the first injection."

Ludwig laughed at himself: "If you can't die with one shot, then you'll get a second shot. Hey, little Gege, we're really lucky."

Wag pursed his lips.

Andre was holding Wagga's hand all the time, while holding the coffee cup with the other hand, he could feel the hot coffee in the cup had cooled, and he reminded: "Your Highness, you have laid the groundwork for such a long time, so it can be said that it is business. "

Ludwig opened his eyes wide in surprise, "With so much explosive news, why haven't we talked about the real thing yet?"

Aristine held Ludwig's hand, but this time Ludwig dodged it. Ludwig withdrew his hand and urged: "You speak first, I'm not sure my hand will wait a little longer." Are you busy and maybe I need to beat you up?"

Aristine: "..."

Andre's smile couldn't hide his gloating.

Aristine went on to say: "Although you escaped from marriage, everyone in Interstellar knows that you are the one I love. At the same time, the entire Senate also knows that you are the most successful experimental individual they have discovered so far. In this In this case, the divisions within the Senate are the most serious. The Radical Party advocates killing you and using you as a living experiment. These people have been resolved by me. The rest are the opposition parties and those who do not advocate, I will keep them .

"However, because half of your living body experiment was forcibly interrupted, and the scuffle caused additional trauma to your life body, you may never wake up... At this time, the people of the Senate proposed to me , carry on with the living body experiment halfway through you, and clone another you..."

Ludwig's eyes widened when he heard this, and he couldn't help interrupting Aristine: "Damn, Aristine, don't you mean to tell me that the cloning experiment has been completed??"

Aristine's eyes fell on Ludwig's clenched fist, and he replied calmly, "Not yet, but it's almost finished, but it's not exactly cloning you..."

Ludwig put his fist on the table from his lap, "Huh?"

Aristine took a deep breath and said, "After you woke up, I changed my mind, but the clone experiments have been prepared, so I also provided my genes to the Senate..."

Regarding this matter, not only Ludwig was unaware of this matter, even Andre and Wager were not aware of the follow-up of the experiment. They only knew that Aristine set out to clone Ludwig. Surprised.

If it is a child "created" by the mixed genes of Ludwig and Aristine... The nature of this matter will change in an instant.

Ludwig asked solemnly: "So, the cloned baby is right? Is the baby like you or me?"

Aristine was a little embarrassed: "This depends on the random selective expression of genes."

"Random what?"

"Random your or my genes."

"..."

Ludwig immediately frowned, and sharply accused: "Aristen, are you stupid? You still have random genes. Of course the child must look like you, you look so good-looking!"

Andre: "..."

Wag: "..."

Although this may sound like a joke, Ludwig is thinking from the bottom of his heart. Although Ludwig has always regarded Aristine as an enemy in his previous life, it still does not hinder Ludwig's understanding of Aristine's appearance. affim.

Aristine's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and with a snort, she couldn't help but said, "I think you look better, and it's better for the child to be like you."

Ludwig really couldn't sit still right now, he patted his hands on the table to prop up his body, although he is still walking shakyly now, but the hand holding Aristine's collar is very strong, " Where is the child? I'm going to see!"

Aristine held Ludwig's waist with both hands, and replied, "Don't worry, Luber and Leia are there to take care of you day and night."

Ludwig frowned: "I'm not worried, it's just curiosity."

Aristine pushed Ludwig back on the chair, and said helplessly, "I can't see him now, and I'll take you to see him in a week."
