The whole empire thinks that the admiral is going to rob the marriage

(Seven)

After rushing out of Glenn's dormitory, Joshua's brain almost went on strike.He wandered aimlessly around the base for a long time—it was an off-training day, and no one would bother him.

When he reacted, there was a dilapidated metal fence door in front of him.

This is the south-west corner of the site, bordering on broad coniferous woodland.Joshua raised his eyes to observe for a while, reached out and touched the red rust on the surface of the metal fence, and retracted his fingers involuntarily.

......difficult to handle.

This remote small gate has been abandoned for an unknown number of years. Its structure is primitive, its shape is rough, and it doesn't look like a product of this era.anyway.On the entire Shizuku planet, there are not many facilities that look like things built after the third galactic era.

Dilapidation and backwardness are synonymous here.

The metal fence gate in front of him had been oxidized for too long, and the material was brittle. Joshua kicked it casually, and even kicked a railing off.

The young crown prince was not in a good mood, and made up a few more feet as if he was looking for faults.

——This time, the fence door didn't move at all, it seems that it was an accident just now.

Joshua stopped for a while, and then got out of the hole in a strange way.He wiped off the rust on his combat uniform, and curled his lips anxiously.

In fact, when he got through the gap in the fence, he regretted it for a half of a second. After all, according to military regulations, he would have to be confined for three to fourteen days after returning.

But so what?Close it.

Joshua made a self-defeating "cut", stepped into the abandoned path, and walked deep into the dense forest.

His rationality told him that Glenn had done nothing wrong in fact, and the other party still got along with him with a normal attitude even after learning of his identity.

But now, he couldn't convince himself that this normality came from the other party's heart.

Yeah, how is this possible?

How can someone treat others equally, no matter whether the other party is noble or commoner, regardless of the other party's status and background?It's not logical.

But his sensibility reminded him at the same time: Hey, that person is Glenn Sasir.

Before the other party knew his identity, he had already taken risks and injured him in order to save him, just like those who had helped before.Perhaps that person is such an exception.

What did the other party say just now? 'I thought you didn't want me to know'.Even the rhetoric is so seamless.

But everyone who hears it may feel that these words are damn sincere.

Joshua sighed with complicated emotions. He bent down and rubbed his sore knees, squinted his eyes and sat under a tree.

Shizukumi has only a narrow mid-latitude land suitable for planetary people to station, so it has become a military planet.The degree of industrial pollution here is very low, the air in the forest is very good, and the oxygen content is suitable. Occasionally, the clear and crisp calls of birds come from afar, which is even more pleasant in the silence.

At this time, he had already walked quite a distance, and his legs, which had not yet recovered from the aftermath of training, were clamoring for fatigue—the excessive concern for Glenn consumed a lot of his free time, and he lacked a lot of rest.

Joshua recalled the moment after the mech exploded, the moment when the other party disappeared from sight and he was at a loss, his five fingers clenched into fists unconsciously.

After such a short time, he regretted his actions just now.

He was acting like a little brat.

If you do it all over again...if you do it all over again...

Joshua thought about it angrily, and yawned involuntarily.

——He leaned against the tree and fell into a deep sleep.

......

When Joshua opened his eyes again, it was already dark.

The night in the dense forest is very dark. Through the branches, you can see the sky full of stars. The big and small stars twinkle far and near, which is hundreds of times more beautiful than the night sky of Capital Star.

In addition, there was a burning bonfire in front of him.

...oh, not just campfires.

Sitting in front of this bonfire was a tall, half-naked young man.

Joshua's gaze swept from the well-shaped collarbone all the way to the well-textured abdominal muscles - I don't know when I will have such a good figure - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought dissatisfied.

He supported the ground with one hand and crushed a few dried leaves, and there was a crisp "click" sound in the air.

Glenn, who was fiddling with something in his hand, heard the movement, and turned his head against the firelight: "Are you awake?"

The tone of this question is quite serious.

Joshua woke up in an instant, and he sat up straight in an instant, and found that there was an extra thick combat uniform jacket on his body.

Thinking of the young man's naked upper body, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pursed his lips in embarrassment, and said softly, "Thank you."

"Yeah." Glenn took the combat uniform and put it on, "You should thank me."

Joshua raised his eyes.

"Lance came to look for me today." Lance was the guard in charge of Joshua's personal safety. "He said you were missing."

Glenn sighed shortly, skipping all the difficult, anxious, and exhausting searching process, and said in a deep voice: "This forest is not as safe as you think, don't run out alone next time."

Joshua nodded awkwardly, suddenly not knowing what to say.

The other party should have been looking for him for a long time - not just the other party.What he did today was too impulsive, not even worthy of the education he had received all along.

The heir of a country cannot do whatever he wants, and he has long since realized this.

Today, he forgot.

"I'm sorry." Joshua said sincerely, "for what happened today."

"No." Glenn finally smiled.

He was still too thin at this time, and his facial features were too tough. When he smiled, his lines softened, and only half of his handsome face appeared in the future: "I want to apologize. I'm sorry, Joshua."

He called him Joshua.

Then Joshua blushed and shook his head, stumbled and said, "You didn't do anything wrong...it was me, I did something inappropriate, I'm sorry."

This time Glenn laughed.

"Let's stop here. Are we going to apologize all night?"

"..."

Joshua: No, not at all.

Glenn sat across from Joshua with a relaxed expression and asked, "Is your birthmark real?"

"No, it's fake."

"You're beautiful. Oh, I mean, you're handsome with a birthmark."

"...Thank you, and you too."

Then Glenn paused for a while, and he said, "I'm sorry, that guy Bernard said that I don't understand the world, which may have caused you trouble." He thought for a while, and then said, "But I always thought that in the world Most people have a hard time trusting other people."

Joshua nodded, not intending to explain his inexplicable blind faith, he coughed twice, and asked curiously, "Do you have a hard time trusting others?"

Glenn blinked. "Maybe, but I always tell the truth."

Joshua shook his head and almost blurted out: "It's impossible. So far no one knows where you came from, where your home is, who your parents are, what you've been through..."

"How could it be?" Glenn put his right hand on his chin, looking even more incredible than Joshua, "Can you ask?"

"Really? You will tell the truth?"

"of course."

Joshua leaned forward, eager to find a beginning: "Where are you from?"

"A distant galaxy."

"Be specific."

"Ah, the Heli galaxy."

Joshua: "..." I've never heard of it.

"What is your family situation?"

"No."

"No?"

Glenn smiled: "I'm an orphan, thrown on a recycled planet in the Heri galaxy."

The recycling planet is where each galaxy recycles interstellar garbage and disposes of it uniformly.

"Sorry," Joshua suppressed the surprise on his face.

"It's nothing, please stop apologizing, please." Glenn waved his hand indifferently, "I have a teacher—he can be regarded as an adoptive father. He treats me well."

"Did he also give you your name?" Joshua asked carefully.

"Well, so is the last name. It seems to have been copied from a book."

"..." Joshua praised, "It sounds good." It sounds familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere.

"Thank you." Glenn blinked again.

His dark eyes were beautiful and bright against the firelight.

The 14-year-old Joshua was struck knowingly, and somehow felt that the young man in front of him, who was much older than him, looked very cute.

"Why did you choose to join the army?" he asked again.

"Hmm..." Glenn thought for a while, and said with some distress: "I don't know."

"do not know?"

"That's right," the young second lieutenant smiled, "In the beginning, it should be to survive."

initial?Joshua searched carefully in his mind - in 2991 of the third universe era, Glenn signed up for the army.

2991...The Heli Galaxy, it turned out to be the Heli Galaxy.

This year, there was a great war between the Fulan Empire and the Haus Empire. Because of this, there is no Heli galaxy in the universe now.

——All the life forms there have been transferred or died, and they have become the ruins of one planet after another at the junction of Fran and House.

Joshua was silent for a while before he said, "When your hometown is destroyed, you must be very sad."

"It doesn't count." Glenn shook his head. "A few years before that, my teacher had passed away. I'm always going from one place to another, and I'm used to it."

What are you used to?Joshua did not press further.

Glenn went on to say it himself: "I'm not a big fan of the Hurley system, even though I grew up there. But I do like the barracks, how should I put it...everyone is nice and life is easy."

The Omega crown prince who was pampered opposite him didn't think life in the military camp was easy, but His Royal Highness still agreed.

"Fran's army is the most cohesive."

"Yes, I believe." Glenn poked at the fire with his eyes bent, making the bonfire burn hotter: "I am willing to do something for it. My teacher taught me to retaliate with kindness and reciprocate kindness. "

—Well, even if the purpose of that was to make the young children work for him.

Not knowing where the courage came from, or where the flash of inspiration came from, Joshua asked in a low voice:

"Who are you fighting for now, Lieutenant?"

The air returned to silence, only the crackling of the campfire.

After a while, the 19-year-old black-haired youth frowned and said hesitantly: "I don't know, I'm just doing what I want to do."

He is one of the most heroic and kind-hearted fighters in the Fulan Empire, but none of the country, people, companions, justice, ideals, power... so many words with profound meanings can be his answer.

Joshua held his breath lightly, and he held Glenn's right hand that was protruding from the cuff.

He said seriously: "Second Lieutenant, I swear——I will do my best to make Fulan the most prosperous country in the universe. If so, are you willing to follow me for the glory of Fulan and its people? and fight?"

Glenn's lips parted slightly, and they looked at each other quietly under the starry sky.

......

Many years later, Joshua thought dizzily in the wedding hall—that might have been the first moment he fell in love with the man in front of him.

He was attracted by his clarity and warmth, but his heart was broken by that insignificant and fragile daze.
